Question: In the 13th Century, what empire dominated the south of the country containing the city where Flora Steiger-Crawford was born?

the gut flora has the largest numbers of bacteria and the greatest number of species compared to other areas of the body. in humans the gut flora is established at one to two years after birth, and by that time the intestinal epithelium and the intestinal mucosal barrier that it secretes have co-developed in a way that is tolerant to, and even supportive of, the gut flora and that also provides a barrier to pathogenic organisms. <SEP> after the dissolution of the holy roman empire in 1806, the territory became part of the habsburg austrian empire, and subsequently the austro-hungarian empire from 1867. bohemia retained its name and formal status as a separate kingdom of bohemia until 1918, known as a crown land within the austro-hungarian empire, and its capital prague was one of the empire's leading cities. the czech language (called the bohemian language in english usage until the 19th century) was the main language of the diet and the nobility until 1627 (after the bohemian revolt was suppressed). german was then formally made equal with czech and eventually prevailed as the language of the diet until the czech national revival in the 19th century. german was also widely used as the language of administration in many towns after the return of germans immigrated and populated some areas of the country in the 13th century after the migration period. the royal court used the czech, latin, and german languages, depending on the ruler and period. <SEP> However, there were other regional powers present as well. For two and a half centuries from the mid 13th, the politics in the Northern India was dominated by the Delhi Sultanate and in the Southern India by the Vijayanagar Empire which originated as a political heir of the erstwhile Hoysala Empire and Pandyan Empire. In the North, the Rajputs were a dominant force in the Western and Central India. Their power reached to the zenith under Rana Sanga during whose time Rajput armies were constantly victorious against the Sultanate army. In the South, the Bahmani Sultanate was the chief rival of the Vijaynagara and gave Vijayanagara tough days many a times. In the early 16th century Krishnadevaraya of the Vijayanagara Empire defeated the last remnant of Bahmani Sultanate power after which the Bahmani Sultanate collapsed. It was established either by a Brahman convert or patronized by a Brahman and form that source it got the name Bahmani. In the early 16th century, it collapsed and got split into five small Deccan sultanates. In the East, the Gajapati Kingdom remained a strong regional power to reckon with, so was the Ahom Kingdom in the North-east for six centuries. <SEP> In 1923, she became the first woman to graduate in architecture from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich where she studied under Karl Coelestin Moser.
