title: The Materiality of Magical Practices in Roman Britain
Creators: name: Parker, Adam
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis investigates the magical objects and magical materials of Roman Britain. It aims to demonstrate that contextual analysis of both images and materials, based on a provincial dataset, has the potential to shed valuable new light on ancient magical practices. The thesis rejects a top-down analysis of magical practices based on thematic intentions (e.g., love magic, divination, necromancy) and instead proposes a bottom-up approach that situates materials and the importance of materiality as central to these practices. The Roman province of Britain provides geographical and temporal limits to the scope of the research. At the heart of the thesis lies a specific definition of the rubric ‘magic’, which is used to create an internally consistent dataset of magical objects from the province of Roman Britain. The gathered data resulted in a dataset of 2,442 objects, representing 15 categories and 46 types of object. This unique dataset is used to critically approach the subject of magic from multiple analytical directions: (1) the analysis of the materials as cohesive groups of different objects; (2) a consideration of some of the most common forms of magical object in the dataset and the implications of their ubiquity; (3) the situating of these objects in spatial contexts and, in particular, a theoretically-informed exploration of their material and sensory importance when embodied. The thesis concludes that materials and materiality were important elements in ancient magical practice and that the power of these practices could be drawn from either the inherent properties of certain materials or from specific shapes. Furthermore, it concludes that certain amulets probably had a spatially limited zone where they were most efficacious, that their use as clandestine or hidden objects was meaningful, and that there was greater complexity in the use of these objects than has been previously appreciated.

description: This article presents, in written form, the lecture given by the author in 2006 as a prerequisite for becoming a Full Professor in the Department of Geography. It addresses a variety of issues that cut across the entire course for which a Syllabus was presented, while seeking to highlight the main aspects that reflect the fundamental orientation of that course. Four main topics are thus considered: the first, entitled The coastal areas: mobility versus fixedness, discusses the main concepts from a variety of perspectives; the second – The beach system: dynamics and monitoring – focuses on the beach system and its morphodynamics; the third, entitled Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) in the European context, provides an overview of the status of coastal areas in Europe and the policy options adopted in this respect; while the fourth – ICMZ in Portugal – summarises the main policy options made in this country in this field, based on the results of the work undertaken by a team led by Prof. Veloso Gomes (of which the author was a member), which was the object of subsequent publication.

Identifying change in human behaviour utilising static sensors

Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2022

description: By 2039, it is projected that one in four people will be aged 65 or over. It is important we look for new ways to help and care for an ageing population. This thesis introduces new methods for identifying changes in behaviour within households, using observations from passive sensors placed within the homes of older people. First, we propose a novel method for detecting subtle changes in sequences whilst taking into account the natural day-to-day variability and differing numbers of ‘trigger’ events per day. Next we introduce a model to predict the probability a sensor will trigger throughout the day for a household, whilst considering the prior data and other sensors within the home. Finally, we present a framework to identify changes in probabilistic cluster membership of households across time. We assess the performance for each of these methods on simulated data and data provided through our partnership with Howz.

Carta da Vegetação Natural Potencial de Caldas da Rainha

description: This article presents and discusses a Potential Natural Vegetation (PNV) Map of the Caldas da Rainha Municipality. After outlining the concept, an assessment is made of the conditioning factors that affect the PNV (soil, geology, lithology, bioclimate). A model allowing for the estimation of the PNV is then put forward based on a correspondence drawn between the PNV and the relevant biotopic variables. The resulting PNV map was validated through comparison with the vegetal communities effectively present in the field. The PNV Map of Caldas da Rainha shows that almost the entire area of this Municipality corresponds to potential cork-oak, Portuguese-oak, elm and willow forests. Cork-oak forests are associated with podzolic soils, made up of sand and sandstone; Portuguese-oak forests (Quercus faginea subsp. broteroi) occur in the presence of limestones, clays, and dolomites; whereas willow and elm forests are associated with the floodplains of the hydrographical unit called the Ribeiras do Oeste. Finally, it is worth noting that the most relevant features in terms of protection and conservation (due both to their rarity and to the presence of endemic species) are to be found in complex communities: halophytic (Óbidos lagoon), psammophilous, rupicolous and peat bogs.

description: Ironically, the presentation of a subset of studied material as retrieval cues at test often impairs recall of the remaining (target) material—an effect known as part-list cuing impairment. Part-list cues are typically provided at the beginning of the recall period, a time when nearly all individuals would be able to recall at least some studied items on their own. Across two experiments, we examined the effects of part-list cuing when student participants could decide on their own when the cues were presented during the recall period. Results showed that participants activated the cues relatively late in the recall period, when recall was already close to asymptote. Critically, such delayed cuing no longer impaired recall performance. The detrimental effect of part-list cuing, as it has been demonstrated numerous times in the memory literature, thus seems to depend on presentating the cue items (too) early in the recall period.

description: PRACTICE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS BY GEOGRAPHIC MODELING. This article presents a proposal of how to put in practice the concept of sustainable development - that as been strictly seeing in a theoretical point of view, as well a tribune speech and with very imprecise conceptual boundaries – supported by the use of Geographic Information System (GIS). The exercise mentioned here it’s only the technical part of a more extensive project, it could be resume in three steps: 1) research – definition and enlightening of sustainable development concept, indicators definition, determination of theorist and methodological frame. 2) practice – identification and acquisition of important information, editing and validating information, creating a GIS project, definition and construction of sustainable development indicators, adaptation and conception of geographic model. 3) Analysis – collect and interpretation of geographic model results by confronting it to some theories claimed by important researchers. For the exercise setting up, as well to develop the conceptual methodology of casual model, GIS as been a fundamental instrument to acquire, integrate, manipulate, manage and visualize geographic information

description: SPATIAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A PRODUCTIVITY INDEX OF MARITIME PINE IN PORTUGAL. Forestry plays an important role in the Portuguese regional economy. With this in mind, it is clear that robust and consistent modelling techniques are required so that all decisions can be scientifically based. This work aims to calculate maps illustrating the spatial distribution of the productivity index of maritime pine in Portuguese forests, using geostatistical algorithms of stochastic simulation in association with GIS and spatial analysis functions. These geostatistical algorithms enable this productivity index to be inferred for the locations where this species occurs, but without sampling observations. In this particular case study, data were provided by the third National Forest Inventory of the State Forest Administration. Based on measurements collected in sampling plots, of the height and age of dominant trees, a productivity index was calculated, summarizing the growth gradient level per year. Experimental variograms showed that the productivity index treated as a categorical variable with five classes does not reveal any spatial continuity. On the other hand, the two components of the index – height and age of the trees – present a spatial structure displayed by long-range variograms. Hence, instead of dealing with the productivity index, the decision was made to characterize the spatial distribution of these two factors and to compose the index as the final step. Thus, a methodology is used for the joint spatial characterization of the height and age of maritime pine prior to the calculation of a productivity index. One of the main advantages of stochastic simulation methodologies is the ability to assess the local uncertainty (related to sampling density, location of the nearest samples and local variability), as well as to map the probability of occurrence of extreme scenarios (in this case study, for instance, excellent or unproductive areas). These methodologies are major tools for the sustainable planning and management of natural resources, making it possible to delimit areas of greater and lesser suitability for each type of forest and to understand better the influence of factors that really affect tree development and growth.

description: GIS IN ROAD TRANSPORT PLANNING IN EXTREMADURA (SPAIN). Increasingly more importance is given to the role played by infrastructures as an element that shapes the landscape. New highways modify conditions of access, which consequently influences potential regional development. In this sense, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are suitable tools for the calculation of accessibility levels and the implementation of cartographical outputs and results. In the light of these premises, this work is aimed at designing a GIS transportation model in the Regional Community of Extremadura in order to make an inventory and to plan and analyse regional infrastructures from economic and social perspectives. It is also our aim to evaluate the effects derived from infrastructure changes on the landscape by considering the highway transportation systems.In this sense, the calculation of shorter pathways is of great importance in order to achieve realistic accessibility GIS models. These models need calculations of the distance between couples of objects. By means of the calculation of the shortest pathways, distances can be precisely measured through the network that monitors the movements instead of using straight-line distances. By using GIS, models can be created that allow us to predict future trends. In order to study the potential of the designed model, different indicators have been determined showing the communication levels in different areas of Extremadura. Indicators calculated for the different population centres and areas are accessibility in absolute and relative terms, times of minimum access and the gravitational pull in comparison with the most significant populated areas. Maps are then generated with the results obtained from each of the indicators.

description: PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review the literature published from 2014 to 2019 on hair and nail salon workers concerning exposure assessment, reproductive and respiratory endpoints, and endocrine disruption, in relation to workplace exposures. RECENT FINDINGS: We identified 29 relevant peer-reviewed publications. Overall, there were insufficient studies to determine whether working in these settings is associated with reproductive health endpoints, although prior studies suggest that reproductive effects are of concern. There is consistent evidence that working in hair and nail salons may increase the risk of respiratory effects. Also, despite the fact that many hair and nail care products contain endocrine disrupting compounds, no recent studies have evaluated endocrine-related endpoints. Moreover, few studies have evaluated chemical exposures in these settings and biomonitoring studies are sparse. SUMMARY: Improved exposure assessment of chemical hazards in hair and nail salons is necessary to properly characterize occupational exposures and assess their potential health risks. Further studies on endpoints related to endocrine disruption and reproductive health outcomes among hair and nail salon workers are needed. Improved exposure and epidemiologic studies will help inform chemical exposure mitigation efforts in a vulnerable occupational population, as well as policies related to workplace and consumer product safety

description: Bloch oscillations and Landau-Zener tunneling are ubiquitous phenomena which are sustained by a band-gap spectrum of a periodic Hamiltonian and can be observed in dynamics of a quantum particle or a wavepacket in a periodic potential under action of a linear force. Such physical setting remains meaningful for aperiodic potentials too, although band-gap structure does not exist anymore. Here we consider the dynamics of noninteracting atoms and Bose-Einstein condensates in a quasi-periodic one-dimensional optical lattice subjected to a weak linear force. Excited states with energies below the mobility edge, and thus localized in space, are considered. We show that the observed oscillatory behavior is enabled by tunneling between the initial state and a state (or several states) located nearby in the coordinate-energy space. The states involved in such Bloch-Landau-Zener oscillations are determined by the selection rule consisting of the condition of their spatial proximity and condition of quasi-resonances occurring at avoided crossings of the energy levels. The latter condition is formulated mathematically using the Gershgorin circle theorem. The effect of the inter-atomic interactions on the dynamics can also be predicted on the bases of the developed theory. The reported results can be observed in any physical system allowing for observation of the Bloch oscillations, upon introducing incommensurablity in the governing Hamiltonian.

description: SCHOLARLY WRITING AND TRAVELS - This paper will examine the relationship between the geographic discourse on place and the experience of otherness, or alterity. Through the enunciation dimension of discourse, one can find signs in texts that indicate the degree to which the discourse is open to otherness. The openning of discourse to alterity offers to geographic discourse the possibility of integrating different meanings to place and therefore presenting more complex representations.

description: In this paper, the author outlines the accounts, including pictures and photographs, of foreigners in Japan to point out some problems regarding the image of Japan as perceived by foreigners, especially westerners. During the isolationist policy of the seventeenth to the middle of the nineteenth century, a certain amount of information on Japan trickled from time to time into the Western world through the Dutch, but these accounts did not present the orientalist and "masculine" image of the geisha, an image that came to the popularized in Western orientalist literature only in the second half of the nineteenth century. The volume on Japan by Élisée Reclus represents the highest achievement of the systematization of geographical knowledge in the 1880s. It was the texts penned by foreign residents in Japan that to some extent helped to transform the landscape sensibility of the Japanese people.

description: Excitons, as bound states of electrons and holes, embody the solid state analogue of the hydrogen atom, whose quantum spectrum is explained within a classical framework by the Bohr-Sommerfeld atomic model. In a first hydrogenlike approximation the spectra of excitons are also well described by a Rydberg series, however, due to the surrounding crystal environment deviations from this series can be observed. A theoretical treatment of excitons in cuprous oxide needs to include the band structure of the crystal, leading to a prominent fine-structure splitting in the quantum spectra. This is achieved by introducing additional spin degrees of freedom into the system, making the existence and meaningfulness of classical exciton orbits in the physical system a non-trivial question. Recently, we have uncovered the contributions of periodic exciton orbits directly in the quantum mechanical recurrence spectra of cuprous oxide [J. Ertl et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 067401 (2022)] by application of a scaling technique and fixing the energy of the classical dynamics to a value corresponding to a principle quantum number $n=5$ in the hydrogenlike case. Here, we present a comprehensive derivation of the classical and semiclassical theory of excitons in cuprous oxide. In particular, we investigate the energy dependence of the exciton dynamics. Both the semiclassical and quantum mechanical recurrence spectra exhibit stronger deviations from the hydrogenlike behavior with decreasing energy, which is related to a growing influence of the spin-orbit coupling and thus a higher velocity of the secular motion of the exciton orbits. The excellent agreement between semiclassical and quantum mechanical exciton recurrence spectra demonstrates the validity of the classical and semiclassical approach to excitons in cuprous oxide.

Los relatos de mujeres viajeras ¿Una mirada crítica sobre el colonialismo?  Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904)

description: WOMEN'S TRAVEL NARRATIVES. A CRITICAL GAZE ON COLONIALISM? iSABELLE EBERHARDT (1877-1904) - The aim of this paper is to analyse the life and works of a woman travel writer, Isabelle Eberhardt and to set it within the context of the recent scholarship related to travel narrative, orientalism and gender. In effect, in his important work on orientalism, Said argued that the Orient is an European construct serving an image of the Other that not only defines the Other but also identifies the self as Western. Nevertheless, Said's contribution neglects the heterogenity of colonial discourse and conceals the roles played by women in the colonization process as well as in its representation. On the contrary, recent feminist scholarship focus on the role of European women as cultural agents in the formation of imperial relations and explores women's complicity with colonialism as well as their resistance to it. But most of the research on women travellers has been carried out by English-speaking authors on english-speaking women travellers. This paper, then, tries to contribute to this field by recovering a marginal voice coming from a different place:Isabelle Eberhardt was born in Geneva (although she was of Russian origin), travelled to Tunisia and Algeria and wrote in french. The complex dynamics of complicity and resistance in Western women is very clear in the case of Isabelle. On one hand, she has the reputation of being "an enemy of France" but, on the other, she is central to the colonial encounter. Isabelle transgresses European norms of gender and civilization by dressing as an Arab and embracing Islam, but her self-exploration was made possible by French colonial power, and in the end, she became a player in French imperial politics. The ambivalence towards colonialism that we can observe in Isabelle's life and works (as in many other women travellers) openly questions the notion of simple Otherness as presented in Said's work. The intersection of colonial and gender discourses involves a shifting subject positioning, whereby Western women can simultaneously constitute center and periphery, identity and alterity. Therefore, this paper hopefully shows that for the study of colonialism it is important to focus on narratives coming from the margins as they provide new perspectives which can destabilize established conceptions on the colonial relationship.

Quelques réflexions sur ľ introduction et la vulgarisation du  concept de pays au Cameroun

description: SOME REFLEXIONS ON THE MEANING OF THE CONCEPTS OF STATE AND "PAYS" IN CAMEROON - In the French language there are two concepts very much used for the territorial reading of space: state and "pays". Basically, we assume that a state is a space of integration, whereas a "pays" is a space of attachment. The concept of "pays" was introduced in Cameroon from the metropolis with a meaning close to the concept of state, and it has been re-utilized by Cameroonian people depending on the successive contexts of colonization, decolonization, independence and, nowadays, democracy.

Substate nation-building and geographical representations of the "other"  in Galicia, Spain (1860-1936)
Creators: name: García-Álvarez, Jacobo
Publisher: name: Finisterra
Year: 2012

description: The "social construction" of otherness and, broadly speaking, the ideological-political use of "external" socio-spatial referents have become important topics in contemporary studies on territorial identities, nationalisms and nation-building processes, geography included. After some brief, introductory theoretical reflections, this paper examines the contribution of geographical discourses, arguments and images, "sensu lato", in the definition of the external socio-spatial identity referents of Galician nationalism in Spain, during the period 1860-1936. In this discourse Castile was typically represented as "the other" (the negative, opposition referent), against which Galician identity was mobilised, whereas Portugal, on the one hand, together with Ireland and the so-called "Atlantic-Celtic naionalities", on the other hand, were positively constructed as integrative and emulation referents.

The Hettner-Hartshorne connection: reconsidering the process of reception  and transformation of a geographic concept
Creators: name: Harvey, Francis
name: Wardenga, Ute
Publisher: name: Finisterra
Year: 2012

description: This contribution examines the process of reception and transformation of a geographic concept on the exemple of the connection between Alfred Hettner and Richard Hartshorne. The first part sketches the development and structure of Hettner's theoretical construction of geography. This examiation shows that commonly held perceptions until now are the results of a reception that only partially, and in parts erroneously, represent Hettner's thinking. The second part illustrates how Richard Hartshorne received Hettner's concept. Hartshorne, like Hettner's German colleagues, did not grasp the underlying meaning of Hettner's work. However, in contrast to many German geographers, he did understand important aspects of Hettner's approach, like, for exemple, the relational approach to the "region", the problem of regionalization,and the relationship between idiography and nomothesis. The third part shows how German geographers' understanding of Hettner's concept was influenced by the Hartshorne-Schaefer debate in the 1970s.

The geographical identity of Portugal, with special reference to the work of Stanislawski

Publisher: name: Finisterra
Year: 2012

description: These pos-Soviet years have brougt a return of geography, along with history, after the long period of ideologically controlled uniformity. There is, in particular, a felt need for resurrection of the kind of regional and historical geography which was practiced in the tradition of the French schools of Vidal de La Blache and the "annales" on the one hand, and the Berkeley school of historical-cultural geography, personified by Sauer, on the other. The paper examines the contribution of Stanislawski, an essential regional, cultural-historical Berkeley geographer who had written three books and several articles on Portugal.

Le rôle des institutions culturelles et des missions à Ľ étranger dans la circulation des  idées géographiques. Ľ exemple de la carrière de Pierre Deffontaines (1894-1978)

description: THE PLACE OF CULTURAL POLICY ABROAD IN THE CIRCULATION OF GEOGRAPHICAL IDEAS: THE CASE OF THE CAREER OF PIERRE DEFFONTAINES (1894-1978). Between the two world wars, France reinforced its cultural policy abroad. Many French Institutes were founded, particularly in the coutries of the "Petit Entente" and in Latin America. These institutes were located near foreign universities which helped French Scholars travel abroad. Pierre Deffontaines (1894-1978) is significant in this respect, as most of his carrer took place abroad. Thanks to the two main successive positions which he held - one in France at the Catholic Faculties of Lille (1924-1939), the other in Spain as the director of the French Institute of Barcelona (1939-1964) - he travelled extensively abroad, particularly in the Americas: Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Québec. He may have been the French geographer who was the best known abroad and who promoted the largest number of geography departments and associations in various places. As a disciple of Jean Brunhes, he succeeded in associating the promotion of French culture to the promotion of geography.
