Groundwater quality and contaminant pathways in the Raisin River agricultural watershed: Susceptibility to groundwater contamination, Cornwall, Ontario.
Creators: name: Cane, Gregory.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Geology.

description: The Raisin River watershed, located approximately 130 kilometres east of Ottawa, is the site of an environmental project examining the groundwater quality and contamination potential of a fractured bedrock aquifer in an agricultural basin discharging to the St. Lawrence River. Groundwater quality was monitored in five tile drains, four piezometers, and thirteen domestic wells over a period of 14 months (May-94 to June-95). Temporal variations in total dissolved solids (TDS), water level and major element concentrations, as well as fluctuations in dissolved organic carbon (DOC), $\delta\sp2$H and $\delta\sp $C were used to distinguish between regionally recharged groundwaters and recharge occurring by local infiltration through agricultural fields. Nitrate, agricultural pesticides, and heavy metals were analyzed as the principal components of groundwater quality. Water level, dissolved solids, $\delta\sp2$H, and $\rm\delta\sp C\sb{DIC}$ fluctuated according to seasonal change. Springtime showed high water levels coupled with depleted $\delta\sp2$H values. In addition, nitrate and DOC values were elevated due to local infiltration through the soil zone into the bedrock aquifer. The $\delta\sp $C values show that recharge contributions from (i) bedrock recharge areas, and (ii) infiltration through cultivated fields, vary on a seasonal basis. Spring and summer periods are dominated by recharge through cultivated fields where $\delta\sp $C values are governed by infiltration of C$\sb4$ plant (corn) carbon. Contributions of local recharge during the fall and winter months are reduced. The watershed's susceptibility to groundwater contamination is considered high since the aquifer responds to seasonal climatic variations. The mean residence time of these groundwaters is in the range of several months, based on cross-correlations between air temperature and $\delta\sp2$ values of Raisin River waters. The most potentially harmful times of year occur during rapid groundwater infiltration during the spring and periods of high precipitation. The effect of tile drains in diverting agro-contaminants to the Raisin River contributes to overall good bedrock groundwater quality as tile drainage effluent shows elevated concentrations of pesticides, nitrate, and trace metals.

description: VBFNLO is a flexible parton level Monte Carlo program for the simulation of vector boson fusion (VBF), QCD-induced single and double vector boson production plus two jets, and double and triple vector boson production (plus jet) in hadronic collisions at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the strong coupling constant, as well as Higgs boson plus two and three jet production via gluon fusion at the one-loop level. For the new version - Version 3.0 - several major enhancements have been included. An interface according to the Binoth Les Houches Accord (BLHA) has been added for all VBF and di/tri-boson processes including fully leptonic decays. For all dimension-8 operators affecting vector boson scattering (VBS) processes, a modified T-matrix unitarization procedure has been implemented. Several new production processes have been added, namely the VBS $Z\gamma jj$ and $\gamma \gamma jj$ processes at NLO, $\gamma \gamma jj $, $WWj$ and $ZZj$ production at NLO including the loop-induced gluon-fusion contributions and the gluon-fusion one-loop induced $\Phi jjj$ ($\Phi$ is a CP-even or CP-odd scalar boson) process at LO, retaining the full top-mass dependence. Finally, the code has been parallelized using OpenMPI.
Associations between Traffic Noise, Particulate Air Pollution, Hypertension, and Isolated Systolic Hypertension in Adults
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2014

description: Background: Studies on the association between traffic noise and cardiovascular diseases have rarely considered air pollution as a covariate in the analyses. Isolated systolic hypertension has not yet been in the focus of epidemiological noise research.
Methods: The association between traffic noise (road and rail) and the prevalence of hypertension was assessed in two study populations with a total of 4,166 participants 25-74 years of age. Traffic noise (weighted day-night average noise level; LDN) at the facade of the dwellings was derived from noise maps. Annual average PM2.5 mass concentrations at residential addresses were estimated by land-use regression. Hypertension was assessed by blood pressure readings, self-reported doctor-diagnosed hypertension, and antihypertensive drug intake.
Results: In the Greater Augsburg, Germany, study population, traffic noise and air pollution were not associated with hypertension. In the City of Augsburg population (n = 1,893), where the exposure assessment was more detailed, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) for a 10-dB(A) increase in noise was 1.16 (95% CI: 1.00, 1.35), and 1.11 (95% CI: 0.94, 1.30) after additional adjustment for PM2.5. The adjusted OR for a 1-ìg/m3 increase in PM2.5 was 1.15 (95% CI: 1.02, 1.30), and 1.11 (95% CI: 0.98, 1.27) after additional adjustment for noise. For isolated systolic hypertension, the fully adjusted OR for noise was 1.43 (95% CI: 1.10, 1.86) and for PM2.5 was 1.08 (95% CI: 0.87, 1.34).
Conclusions: Traffic noise and PM2.5 were both associated with a higher prevalence of hypertension. Mutually adjusted associations with hypertension were positive but no longer statistically significant.Quelle: http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov

description: The 2011 Vancouver Stanley Cup riot (VSCR)—one of the most significant sports-related public disorder events to occur in Vancouver in recent decades—was the first sporting riot in North America that was characterised by the use of social media (McCann, 2011). Given this significant influence, this research uses qualitative content analysis to explore how persons posting on Facebook pages dedicated to the VSCR in the six months following constructed the meaning of the event and its participants. Using the insights of social identity theory, the findings suggest that online discussions of this event centred on an understanding of communities and community membership which was reflected in individuals’ attempts to reassert specific community identities as “law abiding” and “peaceful”, primarily accomplished through the identification, othering, and derogation of riot participants. The findings further suggest that the VSCR was constructed as damaging to the reputations of particular communities and their members resulting in the need for community repair, while its participants were constructed as deviant and threatening “others” who were deserving of punishment, vengeful conduct, and strict police treatment.

description: The growing quantities and type of waste materials, shortage of landfill spaces and lack of natural earth materials impose pressure on urgency of finding innovative ways of recycling and reusing waste materials. To overcome the deficiencies of recycled glass and biosolids when used alone and to enhance their strength properties, the innovative idea of blending these recycled glass and waste water biosolids was studied. Study results proved that the RG-Bio blend has the advantage of combining the high friction characteristics of recycled glass with the cohesive characteristics of biosolids and can be used in road embankment fills with recommended provisions.

description: Composites are increasingly used in aerospace applications where performance is the foremost priority of industry. Research on carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced polymers conducted in the past decade showed promising results for the improvement of mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of composites. This thesis was undertaken in the context of a larger project, the main goal of which is to develop a complete solution for the manufacturing of carbon fibre-epoxy composites using CNT-reinforced epoxies, referred to as multi-scale composites. This thesis focuses on the thermal aspect of this project under three topics: 1) thermal conductivity of dry carbon fibre fabrics for understanding heat diffusion in composites and similar fabric materials 2) thermal conductivity of CNTreinforced polymers and composites for determining the effect of parameters including CNT addition, and 3) modelling of heat transfer during composite manufacturing for ensuring that their temperature distribution remains controlled. In-plane k rip and through-thickness k rtt thermal conductivity data were measured for two dry carbon fibre fabrics as a function of fibre volume fraction Vf . Results showed that k rip varies linearly with Vf whilst k rtt varies in an exponential recovery trend with Vf . An existing analytical model was used successfully for predicting k rip and simulations developed for predicting k rtt values demonstrated that k rtt depends on the evolution of heat conduction paths in the through-thickness direction as a result of improvements in the fibre contact network. A procedure was developed for manufacturing composites using the RFI process. Thirty-two composites and multi-scale composite plates were manufactured and characterised for investigating the effects of eleven material and manufacturing parameters on fibre volume fraction, porosity, k rip and k rtt . Results showed that the effect of using multi-walled CNT-reinforced epoxy on thermal conductivity of composites is negligible at 0.3% CNT loading. However, this reduced the porosity of the composites significantly. Results also showed that using fabrics with higher surface densities led to a slight increase in k cip . A heat transfer model coupled with cure kinetics was developed for predicting temperature profiles of the laminate during RFI manufacturing. The model was validated experimentally and eleven simulation cases were run for investigating the effects of five material and manufacturing parameters on temperature profiles in the laminate. Results showed that the epoxy resins used in this project combined with the cure cycle recommended by the manufacturer are well-suited for manufacturing laminates with a typical thickness of approximately 5 mm as well as thick laminates of 15 mm to 20 mm.

description: The Palikoì are twin heroes revered in Sicily, in the Margi valley. This worship played a crucial role in the acknowledgement by the Sicilian communities of their own identity. In fact, not only it is archaic, but, on the ground of the architectural and ritual characteristics, it is also possible to follow its evolution, inspired to Greek models, both in archaeological finds and in literary sources. The cult was started in a cave in front of a small lake, a location that witnessed a monumental evolution in the V century b.C. with an hestiaterion; the continuity in site patronage is proven at least until the III century a.D. (excavations by P. Pelegatti and, subsequently, by B. McConnel and L. Maniscalco). Literary sources (Diodorus of Sicily, first of all) attest a locus inferus, whose waters are extremely important as guarantee in pledges and as solver of disputes among contenders of different social levels (e.g. slaves vs. masters, Greeks vs. Sicilians).

description: The balance in coral reef carbonate sediment metabolism may shift in response to global warming, ocean acidification (OA), and coastal eutrophication. To address this concern, this PhD thesis experimentally tested the individual and combined effects of these stressors on coral reef carbonate sediment metabolism and dissolution. The data produced show that warming and OA will be major drivers of carbonate sediment dissolution, while the effects of coastal eutrophication will likely depend on the severity and duration of exposure. Altogether, these stressors will likely begin facilitating a net loss of carbonate sediment on coral cays by the end of the century.

description: Completely unbiased: Robust binder-free films derived from sol−gel processing of a water-soluble polymeric carbon nitride precursor exhibit unprecedented performance in photoelectrocatalytic reforming of alcohols, including effective operation under bias-free conditions. n spite of the enormous promise that polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) materials hold for various applications, the fabrication of high-quality, binder-free PCN films and electrodes has been a largely elusive goal to date. Here, we tackle this challenge by devising, for the first time, a water-based sol−gel approach that enables facile preparation of thin films based on poly(heptazine imide) (PHI), a polymer belonging to the PCN family. The sol−gel process capitalizes on the use of a water-soluble PHI precursor that allows formation of a non-covalent hydrogel. The hydrogel can be deposited on conductive substrates, resulting in formation of mechanically stable polymeric thin layers. The resulting photoanodes exhibit unprecedented photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance in alcohol reforming and highly selective (∼100 %) conversions with very high photocurrents (>0.25 mA cm−2 under 2 sun) down to <0 V vs. RHE. This enables even effective PEC operation under zero-bias conditions and represents the very first example of a ‘soft matter’-based PEC system capable of bias-free photoreforming. The robust binder-free films derived from sol−gel processing of water-soluble PCN thus constitute a new paradigm for high-performance ‘soft matter’ photoelectrocatalytic systems and pave the way for further applications in which high-quality PCN films are required.

description: During its twenty-year lifespan, the Ballets Russes (1909 to 1929) was celebrated for bringing together illustrious artistic and cultural figures to collaborate on exotic productions based on Russian, Spanish, English and French themes. Notable by its absence from the Ballets Russes’ exotic interests is the culture and music of America, and this despite that during the 1920s Americans culture was a source of fascination and unease in the European cultural imagination. The Ballets Russes’ impresario, Serge Diaghilev, is recognized as holding the culture of the New World in disdain, yet nonetheless commissioned a “typically American” ballet score from Chicago composer John Alden Carpenter in 1923, which resulted in a score featuring a skyscraper-inspired machine aesthetic, and the inclusion of jazz and spirituals. Carpenter’s ballet was dropped by the Ballets Russes before production and was ultimately premiered as Skyscrapers: A Ballet of Modern American Life by the Metropolitan Opera Company on 19 February 1926. This thesis seeks to better understand Diaghilev’s perceived disdain for American culture, the reasons that caused him to avoid the inclusion of an American ballet in the Ballets Russes’ repertory, and his motives for commissioning a score from Carpenter. Drawing on archival documents from the Library of Congress, I construct a historical narrative of the commission and offer insight into the complex politics of patronage in the Ballets Russes. Furthermore, I position Skyscrapers as a product of cultural transfer, thus illustrating the manner in which Carpenter conceived of his ballet as an American work for an international audience. Finally, I examine the Metropolitan production of Skyscrapers and how it perpetuated racial stereotypes and participated in the debates about the mechanization of American life during the 1920s.
Le problème du nihilisme dans les oeuvres de Nietzsche et de Dostoïevski.

description: Cette thèse porte sur le problème du nihilisme. Elle se veut plus particulièrement une exploration des interprétations de ce phénomène proposées par Friedrich Nietzsche et Fédor Dostoïevski dans certaines de leurs oeuvres. Elle cherche à répondre à deux questions, en particulier: d'abord, que veut dire exactement le nihilisme pour chacun des auteurs; ensuite, pourquoi et comment on doit, selon eux, lutter contre le problème qu'il représente. Pour répondre à ces questions, on s'attardera à l'étude de concepts tels que la «volonté», les «valeurs», la «foi», la «liberté» et la «vie». L'homme atteint de la maladie du nihilisme n'est pas un homme libre. La solution à ce problème se trouve donc dans l'idée d'une certaine forme de foi, une foi qui rend libre en offrant des paramètres à la liberté de l'homme. Car une liberté sans limites ne peut que se transformer en absence de liberté. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Obesity and early-stage type 2 diabetes (T2D) increase the risk for many cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The mechanisms linking obesity and T2D to cancer have not been established, preventing targeted interventions. Arguments have been made that hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, or inflammation could drive cancer initiation and/or progression1. Hyperinsulinemia is a cardinal feature of obesity and T2D, and is independently associated with PDAC incidence and mortality2-4, even in non-obese people5. Despite ample human epidemiological evidence linking hyperinsulinemia to PDAC, there is no direct in vivo evidence of a causal role for endogenous insulin in cancer in any system. Using mice with reduced insulin gene dosage6,7, we show here that a modest reduction in endogenous insulin production leads to a ~50% reduction in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) pre-cancerous lesions in high fat diet-fed mice expressing the KrasG12D oncogene8. The significant reduction in PanIN lesions occurred in the absence of changes in fasting glucose. Reduced insulin also led to a ~50% reduction in pancreatic fibrosis, suggesting that endogenous insulin drives PanIN development, in part, via its pro-fibrotic effects on the stroma surrounding acinar cells and PanIN. Collectively, our data indicate that endogenous insulin hypersecretion contributes causally to pancreatic cancer development. This suggests a modest reduction in fasting insulin via lifestyle interventions or therapeutics may be useful in cancer prevention.

Par l'analyse des sources disponibles, elle recherche les éléments qui s'avèrent essentiels à la formulation de l'identité franco-ontarienne. Après avoir choisi trois dates charnières--la fondation en 1973, la dixième Nuit en 1983 et la vingt-cinquième en 1998--et mis en contexte ces manifestations, l'étude scrute les discours de la presse et des témoins de l'époque de même que le contenu du spectacle lui-même. Apparaissent alors les composantes qui ont servi à l'élaboration de cette identité. D'une part, la thèse tend alors à démontrer que l'identité n'est pas un fait acquis, mais que, tout au contraire, elle se construit à travers les éléments et les événements qui la forment. D'autre part, elle illustre comment musique populaire et identité franco-ontariennes se définissent et s'influencent mutuellement dans le cadre de la Nuit sur l'étang .

description: Affective dysregulation (AD) in children is characterized by persistent irritability and severe temper outbursts. This study developed and evaluated a screening questionnaire for AD in children. The development included the generation of an initial item pool from existing instruments, a Delphi rating of experts, focus groups with experts and parents, and psychometric analyses of clinical and population-based samples. Based on data of a large community-based study, the final screening questionnaire was developed (n = 771; 49.7 % female; age M = 10.02 years; SD = 1.34) and evaluated (n = 8,974; 48.7 % female; age M = 10.00 years; SD = 1.38) with methods from classical test theory and item response theory. The developed DADYS-Screen (Diagnostic Tool for Affective Dysregulation in Children—Screening Questionnaire) includes 12 items with good psychometric properties and scale characteristics including a good fit to a one-factorial model in comparison to the baseline model, although only a “mediocre” fit according to the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA). Results could be confirmed using a second and larger data set. Overall, the DADYS-Screen is able to identify children with AD, although it needs further investigation using clinical data.

description: Given the social burden and high cost of dementia care in Australia, finding evidence-based approaches that improve outcomes, maintain independence, and reduce the impact on clients and families is essential. Similarly, helping professionals who support these individuals are considered at risk of workplace stress, burnout, and other psychological disturbances. This study evaluated the effects of a Montessori-based approach to dementia care in non-residential respite centres. A mixed methods design incorporated a 20-month prospective observational, cohort-controlled study to compare participants from a community-based respite service that implemented a Montessori-based model of care to those from services that provide ‘care as usual’. Linear mixed modelling assessed group differences on a range of variables, including clients' cognitive, behavioural, and emotional functioning, levels of caregiver burden, and burnout, compassion satisfaction, and workplace engagement among respite staff. No significant differences were found between the groups on the rates of change in the clinical and organisational variables over time. Qualitative analysis revealed challenges to the quality and fidelity of the Montessori program related to clients’ engagement in meaningful roles and activities, the modification and progression of those activities, ensuring tasks were self-correcting or error-free, and the use of Montessori-based communication strategies. The analysis also highlighted implementation barriers associated with levels of training and support, one-on-one time with clients, and aspects of organisational culture that conflicted with Montessori methods. These findings reinforce the need for comprehensive pre-implementation workplace change initiatives to ensure organisations are ready to adopt Montessori values and frameworks of care.

description: In this thesis, the complexity of immigrant's integration into Canadian society through the life experiences and perspectives of the members of the well established Portuguese community of Hull, is examined. The focus of this paper is on the impact of ethnic environments, whether they serve a residential, social or cultural purpose on Portuguese integration processes. Integration is difficult to measure since it occurs in various ways at different rate depending on individual immigrants and the successive generations. Nevertheless, the interviews with a group of Portuguese immigrants representative of their community, have revealed that once settled in Canada, their main concern is to achieve a level of "complete" and "absolute" integration into Canadian society. By analysing the role of ethnic neighbourhood, the involvement with ethnic institutions, the need to preserve the Portuguese culture and to maintain strong family ties, and by taking into account the Portugueses's feelings, an attempt was made to ascertain if Portuguese migrants were integrated into Canadian society. In order to reflect the diversity of behaviour and opinions among the Portuguese immigrants, a typology was subsequently established.
Transfer of jurisdiction for education: A paradox in regard to the constitutional entrenchment of Indian rights to education and the existing treaty No. 3 rights to education.

description: Education, to date, has failed Indian people. Shortfalls in education provided to Indian people, brought about by constitutionally sanctioned discrimination under s. 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867 and made operant by the Indian Act, 1876 and a boarding school system, is well documented in the report of the Royal commission on Aboriginal People and elsewhere. From this archaic beginning the government has recently taken the initiative to transfer jurisdiction for education to Treaty No. 3 area Indian bands. This initiative is examined in this thesis. The examination begins with cultural differences and progresses through a variety of legal instruments and case law pertaining to Indians within the education system and their rights to education. A position of entrenched aboriginal rights to education under s. 93 of the Constitution Act, 1867 is arrived at. It is argued that these constitutionally entrenched rights, dormant for almost 100 years, came alive in 1960 when the government granted the rights of citizenship to status Indian people.

description: The GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2008 (GREAT08) Challenge focuses on a problem that is of crucial importance for future observations in cosmology. The shapes of distant galaxies can be used to determine the properties of dark energy and the nature of gravity, because light from those galaxies is bent by gravity from the intervening dark matter. The observed galaxy images appear distorted, although only slightly, and their shapes must be precisely disentangled from the effects of pixelisation, convolution and noise. The worldwide gravitational lensing community has made significant progress in techniques to measure these distortions via the Shear TEsting Program (STEP). Via STEP, we have run challenges within our own community, and come to recognise that this particular image analysis problem is ideally matched to experts in statistical inference, inverse problems and computational learning. Thus, in order to continue the progress seen in recent years, we are seeking an infusion of new ideas from these communities. This document details the GREAT08 Challenge for potential participants.

description: Discharge via the municipal waste water system is the dominant emission pathway to water for many micropollutants especially for household chemicals, substances used in commerce and industry (especially in small and medium-sized enterprises), pharmaceuticals and biocides. Against this background, the primary objective of this study was to develop suitable measures or combinations of measures and their framework conditions to reduce the emission of micropollutants to water via the municipal waste water system that are characterized by high cost efficiency. The emission-relevant material flows were analysed for twelve selected micropollutants and to some extent the substance input into the water bodies were modelled. The results served as basis for the derivation of emission reduction measures. A focal point was the investigation into costs and effectiveness of the introduction of an advanced treatment stage in municipal wastewater treatment plants and the constraints to be considered with this. At the same time, the result have shown that both source-oriented as well as decentralised measures, depending on the substance considered, represent a cost-efficient possibility for the reduction of emission and can make an important contribution to the implementation of the polluter pays principle.

description: Controversy surrounds domestic dog Canis familiaris access to beaches in much of the developed world, where achieving a balance between dog walking and nature conservation, and establishing reasonable compliance with regulations, appear to be highly challenging. We surveyed 434 people who take dogs onto beaches (in coastal central Victoria, Australia), to characterise their use of beaches and attitudes to regulatory controls. Four factors characterised attitudinal dimensions: (1) compliance and support for rules and regulations, (2) perceived dog behaviour and control, (3) rights of dogs and (4) value of dogs compared with wildlife. We hypothesised that residents and non-residents may differ in their attitudes toward dog walking on beaches, and this may also be influenced by their age and sex. Attitudes were broadly similar although slight differences were apparent: residents aged 35–49 years were less supportive of rules and regulations, those aged 18–24 years agreed more strongly that leashing effectively controlled dogs. Males, regardless of their age or residency status, expressed stronger beliefs that dogs were more important than wildlife. This study reveals complex demographic correlates with attitudes to dog walking on beaches, which reveals key stakeholder groups for awareness and education activities.

Creaturely Jurisography: Writing a Living Common Law
Creators: name: Cook, Julia ('Julia') Maree
Publisher: name: Southern Cross University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Jurisprudence
Jurisography
Creaturely
Common Law

description: This thesis investigates whether the common law is a fully living law. A fully living law is taken to be one that is attentive to all life and all living.
description: The thesis investigates this question through two frames of relations.
description: The first frame, because the common law does not ‘do itself’, engages with the question of who has responsibility for law. The response, the frame of relation, is office. Office is used to consider how those who have institutional responsibilities for the common law, both formal and informal, have responsibilities and duties to the quality of law’s relations with all who fall within its jurisdiction. The value of office is that it offers the possibility of measuring performance in relation to the duties of the office, it is a measure of conduct. With respect to the responsibilities of the conduct of law, the thesis turns to the office of jurisprudent. And, because how the responsibilities and their conduct are read and written, because how they are narrated is critical to how they are understood and lived, the thesis draws forward the office of jurisprudent as jurisographer.
description: The second frame of relations is ‘creaturely’. In the thesis, ‘creaturely’ is taken to encapsulate all life and living. It encompasses embodiment and the precarious mix of ideas, practices and technologies that shape relations of embodied life at law.
description: Historically, the creaturely relation has not been recognised as relevant to the institutional thinking of the common law. This thesis argues that it should be. It therefore develops an approach which focuses on and enables attention and obligation to ‘the creaturely’ and to all relations of living and dying at common law such that the approach becomes habitual thinking and doing for those who have responsibility for common law relations.
Development and evaluation of a flight collision avoidance system in a free-flight environment
Creators: name: Ibrahim, Yakubu
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Dr Ibrahim developed and evaluated a collision avoidance system that complements the current Traffic Conflict Avoidance System (TCAS) within supports pilots in environments not fully managed by Air Traffic Controllers. His study extends the understanding of the separation of aircraft by pilots, through interactive visualisation of flight constraints that enhance situation awareness, conflict detection and resolution, and decision making. His contributions have provided important insights into conflict management and policy for the air transportation industry.

Teleste di Selinunte il ditirambografo
Creators: name: Berlinzani, Francesca
Publisher: name: Aristonothos. Scritti per il Mediterraneo antico
Year: 2010

description: Starting from a little notice in Diodorus, and proceeding with a report of  the testimonia vitae and of the fragmentary verses of the Ditirambographer Telestes of Selinus, the writer tries to reconstruct the biography and the poetics of the musician, who had his floruit between the end of the Vth and the first half of the IVth b.C.. The poet has been considered an exemplary member of the Nea Mousikè, altough the testimonies, as well as his fragmentary writings, permit to moderate this view, and to explain his position as intermediary. In particular, it is worth noting the fact that Aristoxenus, who so boldly blamed the exponents of the Nea Mousike, wrote a Life of Telestes. Neverthless, also in The De Musica of Ps- Plutarch, which owes much to the Aristoxenian perspectives and testimonies, Telestes is never listed between the Neoi Mousikoi. In the same way, in the numerous loci Athenaeus has dedicated to Telestes, it is not clearly confirmed his position as a radical innovator, and we know that in the work of Athenaeus we can find many suggestions derived from Aristoxenus and his works.

description: Because of preservation of proximal femoral bone stock and minimized soft tissue trauma, short-stem implants are becoming increasingly important in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The postulated advantage regarding the functional outcome has not been verified. We hypothesized an increased abductor muscle strength by the use of a short-stem design. Seventy consecutive patients of a randomized clinical trial were included. Of these, 67 patients met the inclusion criteria after 12 months. Thirty-five patients received a standard straight stem and 32 patients a short-stem femoral component. All surgeries were performed by a modified direct lateral approach. Isometric muscle strength of the hip abductors was evaluated preoperatively 3 and 12 months after surgery. Harris hip score (HHS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores were evaluated. After three months, there were no differences between the two groups; the abductor force was comparable to the preoperative initial values. After 12 months, a significant increase in muscle strength for the short stem patient group compared to preoperative baseline values was measured (straight-stem THA, 0.09 Nm/kg ± 0.4, p = 0.32; short-stem THA, 0.2 Nm/kg ± 0.3, p = 0.004). Comparison of the 12-month postoperative total HHS and WOMAC revealed no significant differences between both groups. A significant increase in hip abductor muscle strength 12 months after short-stem THA compared to conventional-stem THA was observed.
