title: Conderton Camp, Worcestershire
title: a small middle Iron Age hillfort on Bredon Hill
titleType: Subtitle

description: Council for British Archaeology Research Reports, 143
description: Bredon Hill is seen as a Middle Iron Age territory of approximately 24 km2, containing three hillforts of which Conderton Camp is the smallest and probably the first constructed, between the late-sixth and early-fourth century cal BC. The community responsible for it was associated through its material culture with Bredon Hill Camp to the northwest and with hillfort communities over a much wider area, and also with open settlements around Bredon Hill's southern margins and across the Cotswolds. A series of twenty-four radiocarbon age determinations sets this hillfort and culture in a secure but narrow time frame. A resistivity survey has shown that the spur upon which the hillfort was built had already been under cultivation, which extended across the valley. The Camp enclosed about 1.95 ha, with an initial rampart, ditch and counterscarp bank interrupted by simple entrances at the north and south. Part of the rampart around the southern end was later pulled back and laid across the spur to form a smaller upper camp with a central, inturned entrance and adjacent freestanding guardhouse. The north entrance was rebuilt to a similar design around the same time. Occupation of the upper camp included construction of around ten circular houses, not all contemporary, in two distinct sizes, defined by drystone-faced foundation walls. Storage was in more than 140 rock-cut pits among and beneath the houses, several lined with wickerwork, and others faced or patched with drystone. In the southwest corner of the upper camp stood a four-post structure which may have been a watch tower, another being set up within the abandoned guardhouse at the central entrance. A characteristic assemblage of Middle Iron Age impressed and linear-incised pottery was recovered, including salt containers from Droitwich and Cheshire. Possibly towards the end of the hillfort's use, the north entrance was blocked by a drystone wall; the camp was abandoned before the Late Iron Age, possibly in the early- to mid-second century BC. Apart from sporadic Romano-British activity, the site has remained under grass since that time. Excavations took place in 1958 and 1959, when the hillfort was known as Danes Camp, and this name has been incorporated in the archive, although the author argues that Conderton Camp is the most appropriate name.

description: Empirical studies show that years of schooling are positively correlated with good health, and that education is better correlated with health than with variables like occupation and income. This can be explained in different ways as the implication may go from education to health, from health to education, and there may be variables that influence health and education in the same direction. The effect of different policy instruments to reduce the social gradient in health will depend on the strength of these causalities. In this paper we formalize a model that simultaneously determines an individual’s demand for knowledge and health based on the mentioned causal effects. We study the impacts on both health and education of different policy instruments such as subsidies on medical care, subsidizing schooling, income tax reduction, lump sum transfers and improving health at young age. Our results indicate that income transfers such as distributional policies may be the best instrument to improve welfare, while subsidies to medical care is the best instrument for longevity. However, subsidies to medical care or education would require large imperfections in the markets for health and education to be more welfare improving than distributional policies. Finally, our simulations suggest that underlying factors that impact both health and education is the main explanation for the correlation shown empirically.

description: Exposing plants to gradually increasing stress and to abiotic shock represents two different phenomena. The knowledge on plants’ responses following gradually increasing stress is limited, as many of the studies are focused on abiotic shock responses. We aimed to investigate how cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) plants respond to three common agricultural abiotic stresses: hypoxia (applied with the increasing time of exposure to nitrogen gas), salinity (gradually increasing NaCl concentration), and water deficit (gradual decrease in water supply). We hypothesized that the cowpea plants would increase in tolerance to these three abiotic stresses when their intensities rose in a stepwise manner. Following two weeks of treatments, leaf and whole-plant fresh weights declined, soluble sugar levels in leaves decreased, and lipid peroxidation of leaves and roots and the levels of leaf electrolyte leakage increased. Polyphenol oxidase activity in both roots and leaves exhibited a marked increase as compared to catalase and peroxidase. Leaf flavonoid content decreased considerably after hypoxia, while it increased under water deficit treatment. NO emission rates after 3 h in the hypoxically treated plants were similar to the controls, while the other two treatments resulted in lower values of NO production, and these levels further decreased with time. The degree of these changes was dependent on the type of treatment, and the observed effects were more substantial in leaves than in roots. In summary, the responses of cowpea plants to abiotic stress depend on the type and the degree of stress applied and the plant organs.
title: Efficient Algorithms for Symmetry Detection
Creators: name: Anders, Markus
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: The use of symmetry dramatically impacts the efficiency of algorithms in various application areas. However, no matter how symmetries are used, there needs to be a way to obtain them efficiently. In practice, symmetries of combinatorial structures are usually computed by modeling said structure as a graph. The automorphisms of this graph then precisely model the symmetries of the combinatorial structure. A so-called practical graph isomorphism solver is then used to compute the automorphism group of the constructed graph. Practical graph isomorphism solvers have been developed for more than half a century. While all state-of-the-art solvers are based on the same principles, namely the so-called individualization-refinement paradigm, there are vast differences among them. The differences in the algorithms, in turn, lead to vast performance differences in practice. While practical graph isomorphism has been considered "solved" multiple times over the past few decades, no single algorithm can efficiently solve all the graphs stemming from the various application areas. Indeed, there are even some particular applications for which state-of-the-art implementations struggle to solve all the graphs efficiently. Ideally, one would like to have a singular algorithm that is fast on all graphs.

In this thesis, we describe the design of a new practical graph isomorphism solver called dejavu. Instead of trying to develop a better implementation ad hoc, we perform a theoretical analysis of essential algorithmic ingredients used in state-of-the-art algorithms. A central result is a theoretical model for the backtracking behavior of all state-of-the-art algorithms. Within this model, we prove that a Monte Carlo strategy is optimal in the worst-case up to logarithmic factors. A Monte Carlo strategy can use randomization and is allowed to err with bounded probability. In particular, we prove that randomized strategies outperform deterministic strategies. In theory, the Monte Carlo backtracking strategy outperforms all strategies currently used in practice in the worst-case. Further theoretical results include a characterization of the structure of the aforementioned backtracking trees and an analysis of design choices in the so-called color refinement algorithm, a crucial subroutine used by the solvers.

In turn, the design of dejavu is based on these theoretical results. In particular, the backtracking strategy of dejavu follows the near-optimal Monte Carlo strategy. The solver further contains various novel practical components. These components are carefully designed to complement the Monte Carlo strategy. Notably, one of the components is a preprocessor designed to shrink large and sparse inputs, which can also be used with all the other state-of-the-art solvers. Benchmarks on a vast library of graphs reveal that dejavu is faster than any other state-of-the-art solver on most tested graph classes.

description: Study of sixty-seven areas of English landscape where material evidence of 1940 defences survives. To counter the threat of a ground war on home territory, defences were erected on the coast and inland, the latter involving a complicated pattern of linear (stop line) defence and area defence based on important communication (nodal) points. The prime purpose of these was to serve as anti-tank obstacles. Through documentary assessment and fieldwork, the defences have been reconstructed as they originally stood, and the strategy behind them analysed. Wherever possible, they have been repopulated with the troops that manned them or were detailed to move to these prepared battlefields in the actual event of invasion, whether units of the regular Field Army or of the Home Guard. Each type of defence work is examined in detail, and the surviving condition of individual structures assessed. A glossary of defence work types is included, and these differing types are indicated on the maps that illustrate the area reports. Archival maps and air photographs are also included, some of which were produced by the German Army and Air Force indicating their meticulous preparations for the invasion. The book also examines the overall historical perspective of the 1940 defences, and seeks to dispel several myths that have grown up concerning this subject. It show that, despite initial shortages of weapons and building materials, the defence systems put in place from mid-1940 to the spring of 1941 were highly complex and meticulously planned, making full use of landscape features and natural topography, and set back in depth from the coastal front edge in protection of the nation's heartlands.

Art for whose Sake?: Defining African American Literature
Creators: name: Gibson, Ebony
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: This exploratory qualitative study describes the criteria that African American Literature professors use in defining what is African American Literature. Maulana Karenga?s black arts framework shaped the debates in the literature review and the interview protocol; furthermore, the presence or absence of the framework?s characteristics were discussed in the data analysis. The population sampled was African American Literature professors in the United States who have no less than five years experience. The primary source of data collection was in-depth interviewing. Data analysis involved open coding and axial coding. General conclusions include: (1) The core of the African American Literature definition is the black writer representing the black experience but the canon is expanding and becoming more inclusive. (2) While African American Literature is often a tool for empowerment, a wide scope is used in defining methods of empowerment. (3) Black writers should balance aesthetic and political concerns in a text.

description: The book focuses on the previously unexplored area of modern military wall art, ranging from First and Second World War servicemen's work, to prisoner of war camp murals, through to graffiti of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It presents in visual form the diversity and significance of modern military wall art, largely in Britain, but set within its wider geographical and historical context. The colour illustrations are accompanied by five essays that together describe the historical and wider context of military wall art, their form, meaning and significance, as well as the conservation dilemmas they present. The authors define `war art' in its broadest sense; examples of wall art are mostly World War II and post-World War II, with Cold War examples highlighting the cultural differences between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and within NATO between British and American service traditions, and between military operations and the protest movement.

description: Phishing URL detection is crucial in cybersecurity as malicious websites disguise themselves to steal sensitive infor mation. Traditional machine learning techniques struggle to per form well in complex real-world scenarios due to large datasets and intricate patterns. Motivated by quantum computing, this paper proposes using Variational Quantum Classifiers (VQC) to enhance phishing URL detection. We present PhishVQC, a quantum model that combines quantum feature maps and vari ational ansatzes such as RealAmplitude and EfficientSU2. The model is evaluated across two experimental setups with varying dataset sizes and feature map repetitions. PhishVQC achieves a maximum macro average F1-score of 0.89, showing a 22% improvement over prior studies. This highlights the potential of quantum machine learning to improve phishing detection accuracy. The study also notes computational challenges, with execution wall times increasing as dataset size grows.

Understanding knowledge hiding and establishing the effects of power on knowledge sharing and hiding
Creators: name: Issac, Abraham Cyril
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Knowledge hiding is an intentional attempt by an individual to withhold knowledge. This thesis has undertaken a detailed morphological analysis and as a result addresses two important research questions. First, it gives a comprehensive list of antecedents that trigger knowledge hiding and underscores the relevance of contexts like culture, job-experience etc. while studying knowledge hiding. Second, the thesis establishes that power plays an important, but complex role in influencing employee participation in knowledge transfer. This implies that the optimal situation for knowledge sharing is one in which employees' contributions are valued, and their reputation is not expected to change due to sharing knowledge.

description: More than 43,000 biocidal products were registered on the German market alone at the beginning of 2017, including disinfectants, preservatives, pest control and anti-fouling products. All biocides act as intended on living organisms and can enter the environment. Although some biocides have already been found in relevant environmental concentrations, they are still insufficiently considered in monitoring studies or routine monitoring programs. The ⁠UBA⁠ has therefore developed recommendations for future, specific surveys of the environmental pollution through biocides. Also new lists of prioritised biocidal active substances and relevant transformation products have been created.The German Environment Agency has updated the substance lists of the report published in 2017, as new biocidal active substances have been approved, further assessment reports have been submitted and new scientific findings have been obtained. In addition, two new substance lists on soil contamination in urban areas and the uptake by terrestrial biota and on the contamination of groundwater in urban areas were developed, which were not yet taken into account in the 2017 report.

The project was set up to increase the level of understanding of rural settlement in Wales, and was also prompted by the sites' recognised vulnerability to destruction, and in order to create a basis upon which future management and protection strategies could be built. Work focused primarily, though not exclusively, on upland landscapes where field evidence is best preserved, and the site evaluations provide the most complete assessment of surviving remains in those areas to date. Following an introductory chapter, the main body of the volume divided into three parts: regional examinations, general themes, and conclusions and future developments. Papers explore settlement morphology, monastic upland exploitation, medieval and post-medieval settlement development and change, vernacular building traditions, regional variations and national characteristics, and environmental evidence.

description: Black/African American alumni from Ohio State University in Columbus, OH are collective subjects in this research. The study has sought to discern and explicate the behaviors, experiences and attitudes of former Black students, now alumni, to effectively privilege their voices and viewpoints, which were previously not included in the scholarship and literature of African American Studies or Higher Education about the historic 1960s and 1970s. Determining how alumni experienced the Black Student Movement at Ohio State during the 1960s and 1970s has been the principal objective.
Black students? experiences and motivations were very different than popular Black Student Movement discourse suggests. Findings indicate Black students? organized social activist behavior persisted effectively and sufficiently to be considered an example of modern social movements, worthy  of respect like other social movements which have helped improve human conditions not only for themselves, but also for others including non-Black students at traditionally white institutions.

description: Rescue excavation between 1969 and 1976, although covering only a small part of the site, showed that small-scale or sporadic activity in the Mesolithic and Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age was followed by substantial occupation towards the end of the Bronze Age, with a timber-framed rampart yielding radiocarbon dates centred around 800 bc. After a period during which the hilltop probably used mainly for grazing, the rampart was rebuilt on a larger scale, probably in or about the third century bc; an outer line of defence may date from about this period but a third rampart seems likely to be later. There was nothing to demonstrate whether the Iron Age occupation persisted into the first century AD, and early Roman material was absent. Pottery and coins showed that occupation, perhaps of an essentially agricultural nature, began again in the second or early third century AD and continued until the end of the Roman period or later. The excavations produced an important collection of Late Bronze Age pottery and metalwork, although few structures within the hillfort could be attributed to this period. By contrast, the Iron Age occupation left evidence of numerous circular and rectangular buildings but there were relatively few associated finds. The hilltop's environmental history from the Late-Glacial to the beginning of the Iron Age occupation is described through the study of waterlogged deposits from a pond within the hillfort; also recovered from the pond is an important collection of wooden artefacts, the majority of the dating to about 300 bc.

description: The study examines how race and gender stereotypes in popular culture shape the perception of the Black superheroine. This study also explores stereotypes and gender roles and how they impact Black female and male college students? ages 18-38 and their imagination of the Black superheroine. As the status of popular culture grows, the generation of today?s college student still remains regular consumers. Thus it was necessary to use a convenience sample of thirty-two African American male and female college-age students from four African American Studies undergraduate courses at Georgia State University that took part in a Superheroine questionnaire, in which they designed their own Black superheroine. This research employs an interpretative textual analysis research design to collect and analyze the data in which significant themes, phrases, and sentences are extracted.

Year: 2013

description: This study examined the practice of folk medicine among a group of African Americans living on the coast of the Sea Islands, the Gullah/Geechee. The Gullah/Geechee are descendants of enslaved Africans, transported  from Western and West-Central Africa, who have preserved their African influenced culture consisting of language, food ways, rituals, and folk beliefs. Twenty members of the Gullah/Geechee community, including three nurses, participated in this study consisting of semi-structured interviews relating to the use of folk medicine. The findings revealed folk medicine use was linked to family influence and traditions, spirituality, mistrust of the medical community, dual health care, lack of access to health care, socioeconomic status, and easy access to herbal medicine.  The findings indicate that the use of folk medicine is still practiced within the Gullah communities and efforts should be made to integrate folk medicine into the healthcare system.

description: In this study we exploit a regulation in Colombia that exogenously changes health insurance coverage of young adult dependents, specifically those turning 18 years old, to analyze the effects of losing health insurance coverage on their health service usage and health status. We assess this effect using a regression discontinuity design (RDD) and data from the Encuesta Nacional de Calidad de Vida Survey for Colombia from 2010 to 2013. Losing coverage implies an increase in the cost of some medical services which may reduce their consumption (i.e. preventive services). Additionally, since under Colombian regulations, emergency department (ED) visits cannot be denied to anyone, regardless of health insurance status, uninsured young adults tend to use this service more instead of regular medical services (such as preventive healthcare or visits to physicians or specialists). We find, consistent with the change in relative prices, that losing health insurance when turning 18 years old increases the visits to the ED, reduces preventive care visits with a physician, and reduces the usage of other medical services. These results imply a substitution of cheaper medical services for more expensive ones when individuals turn 18 years old in Colombia.

description: This paper analyzes health consequences of forced civilian displacement that occurred during the War in Croatia 1991-1995 which accompanied the demise of Yugoslavia. Using the Croatian Adult Health Survey 2003 we test whether displacement is relevant in explaining various dimensions of measured and self assessed health. We adopt an instrumental variable approach where civilian casualties per county are used as an instrument for displacement. We find robust significant adverse effects on self assessed health, on probability of suffering from systolic and diastolic hypertension, and on mental health and role emotional SF-36 dimensions. We also address possible channels of adverse effect, and find that displacement did not induce a change in healthy behaviors, and that the negative effect of displacement is channeled through adverse economic conditions that the displaced individuals face.

We exploit an abrupt increase in the supply of tertiary education induced by a deregulation policy. Using an age discontinuity in the exposure to higher education reform, we find that education lowers fertility by 8% and increases the likelihood of never giving birth by 25%. We explore the role of potential underlying mechanisms and find that this negative effect on fertility is channeled through positive assortative mating and the postponement of marriage and motherhood.

description: This research work aims to develop electrodeposited Zn-Ni alloy coatings with controlled dissolution tendencies on a mild steel substrate. The varying Ni concentration in the electroplating bath, i.e., 10, 15, 20 and 25 g·L−1, affected the surface morphology and electrochemical properties of the deposited Zn-Ni alloy coatings. SEM and EDS analysis revealed the resulting variation in surface morphology and composition. The electrochemical behavior of different coatings was evaluated by measuring the open circuit potential and cyclic polarization trends in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The degradation behavior of the electrodeposited Zn-Ni coatings was estimated by conducting a salt spray test for 96 h. The addition of Ni in the coating influenced the coating thickness and surface morphology of the coatings. The coating thickness decreased from 38.2 ± 0.5 μm to 20.7 ± 0.5 μm with the increase in Ni concentration. Relatively negative corrosion potential (<−1074 ± 10 mV) of the Zn-Ni alloy coatings compared to the steel substrate (−969 mV) indicated the sacrificial dissolution behavior of the Zn-rich coatings. On the other hand, compared to the pure Zn (26.12 mpy), ~4 times lower corrosion rate of the Zn-Ni coating (7.85 mpy) was observed by the addition of 25 g·L −1 Ni+2 in the bath solution. These results highlighted that the dissolution rate of the sacrificial Zn-Ni alloy coatings can effectively be tuned by the addition of Ni in the alloy coating during the electrodeposition process.

description: This paper aims to identify the causal effect of English language skills on fertility, health and education outcomes of immigrants in England and Wales. To estimate this causal effect, we use the instrumental variable estimation strategy where age at arrival in the United Kingdom (UK) is exploited to construct an instrument for language skills. The idea of exploiting age at arrival is based on the phenomenon that a person who is exposed to a new language within the critical period of language acquisition (i.e., childhood) learns the language more easily. This implies that immigrants who arrive in the UK at a young age have on average better English language skills than those who arrive when they are older. Using a unique individual-level dataset that links census and life event records for the population living in England and Wales at the 2011 Census, we find that better English language skills significantly delay the age at which a woman has her first child, lower the likelihood that she has a child in her teens, and decrease the number of children she gives birth to, but do not affect her children’s birthweight and an individual’s self-reported health. The impact on educational achievement is also considerable: better English skills significantly raise the probability of obtaining academic degrees and significantly lower the probability of having no qualifications.

Maternal Ministry, Other Mothering, And Finding Power For Women In The Black Church: A Phenomenological Exploration
Creators: name: Lovett, Shauntia
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Studies have examined the ways in which other mothering functions in the black community. Yet, few scholars have investigated how other mothering may operate in religious environments. This study utilizes a qualitative design with a feminist phenomenological approach to explore the ways in which the phenomenon of other mothering has evolved into a ministry for black women. A sample of 14 African American women were selected from the membership of two metropolitan Atlanta area churches, Mt. Olive Baptist Church and Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Focus groups and semi-structured interviews were analyzed using descriptive and pattern coding. Womanist theology was chosen as the theoretical framework. The researcher believes that this study contributes to the body of existing literature that examines mothers? ministries and that the participants find liberation through their mothering roles despite their historical marginalization in the church.

description: Reports on, provides a synthesis of, and assesses the results from the first thirty-two years of the project, which was set up `to investigate by experiment the denudation and burial of archaeological structures' and is principally concerned with two earthworks, one on Overton Down, Wiltshire, and the other on Morden Bog, near Wareham, Dorset; both have been monitored since construction in 1960 and 1963 respectively, and excavated in sections cut through them at intervals on a progressive scale of years.. The report reviews the project's history over its first thirty-two years in the particular context of excavations at Overton in 1968, 1976 and 1992 and at Wareham in 1980. The report records the more detailed programme of analytical work which was implemented at Overton in 1992, concentrating on the preservation of biological and environmental evidence and on the analysis of a range of organic and inorganic materials buried in 1960. The results provide an opportunity to consider the strengths and weakness of experimental methodology in archaeology. Includes French and German summaries; contributions include
Improving Visuo-motor Interactions with Prosthetic Vision Devices: Multisensory Techniques for Training and Rehabilitation
Creators: name: Prabhu, Deepa
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Implantable visual prostheses are an emerging and promising treatment for restoring visual perception in patients with end-stage retinal degenerative diseases. In comparison to the vision experienced by sighted humans, the restored visual perception in patients implanted with these prosthetic vision devices is significantly reduced in quality, providing only a blurry and distorted view with limited resolution, contrast, depth, and field of view available. These perceptual limitations make visuo-motor interactions particularly challenging for patients implanted with prosthetic vision devices, but critical to their activities of daily living. Despite this, only limited attention has been given to this aspect of device design, and rehabilitation
in the prosthetic vision context. Addressing this gap, this thesis research considers approaches to improve visuo-motor interactions in the context of retinal prostheses through: (i) design improvements, and (ii) multisensory training approaches. This thesis reports the results of four studies:
1. Study-1: Effect of camera position on egocentric localisation with simulated prosthetic vision.
2. Study-2: Effect of ‘demagnification’ on localisation with simulated prosthetic vision.
3. Study-3: Design of a conceptual framework for design and evaluation of multisensory interventions for prosthetic vision rehabilitation.
4. Study-4: Design and experimental evaluation of VibroSleeve - a wearable multisensory training tool for localisation training.
