Wetland Archaeology and Beyond offers an appreciative study of the people, and their artefacts, who occupied a large variety of worldwide wetland archaeological sites. The volume also includes a comprehensive explanation of the processes involved in archaeological practice and theory.
Fungal natural products are friends and foes of humans such as deleterious mycotoxins, cytotoxic, carcinogenic compounds or beneficial compounds such as antibiotics, fungicides, insecticides, antiviral and antitumor metabolites. Understanding fungal diversity and estimation of fungal species on our planet poses a great challenge to researchers. This complexity is further multiplied by secondary metabolite diversity of fungi, which requires interdisciplinary studies. It is extremely important to understand the fungal secondary metabolism to stop human, animal and plant diseases caused by fungi and harvest their valuable metabolites. Furthermore, many secondary metabolite gene clusters are sil...
"From beneficial fungi that keep bacteria under control and consume dead cells to toxic molds that cause disease, our bodies are constantly navigating a fungus-filled world. And our interactions with fungi are not limited to what happens in our bodies as we interact with these microbes via our diet and as a source of medicines. In short, there exists an incredible range of interactions between humans and fungi. In this book, Nicolas Money describes this relationship between fungi and humans in the context of our health. Readers learn how the field of mycology has been advancing, from studies that reveal the diversity of yeasts that grow on the skin to research on the use of psychedelic mushr...
Since their initial discovery in the nineteenth century, the enigmatic prehistoric lake-dwellings of the Circum-Alpine region have captured the imagination of the public and archaeologists alike.
American Association for Cancer Research 2019 Proceedings: Abstracts 1-2748 - Part A
After more than 3500 years of occupation in the Neolithic and Bronze Age, the many lake-dwellings around the Circum-Alpine region ‘suddenly’ came to an end. Throughout that period alternating phases of occupation and abandonment illustrate how resilient lacustrine populations were against change: cultural/environmental factors might have forced them to relocate temporarily, but they always returned to the lakes. So why were the lake-dwellings finally abandoned and what exactly happened towards the end of the Late Bronze Age that made the lake-dwellers change their way of life so drastically? The new research presented here draws upon the results of a four-year-long project dedicated to s...
Im Bereich der Kulturerbepflege ist das digitale Zeitalter längst angebrochen. Wie gehen wir mit den Möglichkeiten um, die das digitalisierte oder digitale Kulturerbe bietet? Wie verändert die Digitalisierung unsere Wahrnehmung des kulturellen Erbes? Wie werden digitale Daten nachvollziehbar, jederzeit verfügbar und langfristig zugänglich gemacht? Welche Grundlagen brauchen wir, damit unsere Daten für Forschung und Öffentlichkeit optimal nutzbar sind? Wie werden Urheber- und Nutzungsrechte gewahrt? Das zu reflektieren – auch vor dem Hintergrund unserer jüngsten Erfahrungen in der Corona-Krise – ist Ziel dieses Bandes. Er vereint Archäologie, Denkmalpflege und weitere Fachbereich...
In seiner Tätigkeit als Präventionsberater fiel dem Autor vermehrt auf, dass Kollegen unterschiedlichster Stationen, Patient_innen mit Sturzneigung eher mechanisch oder medikamentös fixieren, als fachgerecht zu mobilisieren. Hier stellt sich ihm folgende Frage: Muss jeder Sturz mit allen Mitteln verhindert werden? Diese Frage lässt sich bereits im Vorfeld mit nein beantworten. Man kann nicht überall sein. Jedem Menschen steht das Recht zu sich, wenn noch möglich, frei bewegen zu dürfen. Kommt es in diesem Zusammenhang zu einem Sturzereignis, hätte dieses nicht verhindert werden können. Wann ist ein Sturz ein Sturz und ist eigentlich jeder Sturz ein Sturz? Vom Sturz und der Sturzprophylaxe sind vor allem Menschen betroffen, die auf Grund ihrer körperlichen Verfassung weniger Kraft und Balance aufweisen, als körperlich gesunde Menschen. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit präventiven Maßnahmen zur Sturzminimierung bei Patient_innen mit gerontopsychiatrischen Erkrankungen.
There has long been a strong collaboration between geologists and archaeologists, and the sub-field of geoarchaeology is well developed as a discipline in its own right. This book now bridges the gap between those fields and the geophysical technique of ground-penetrating radar (GPR), which allows for three-dimensional analysis of the ground to visualize both geological and archaeological materials. This method has the ability to produce images of the ground that display complex packages of materials, and allows researchers to integrate sedimentary units, soils and associated archaeological features in ways not possible using standard excavation techniques. The ability of GPR to visualize all these buried units can help archaeologists place ancient people within the landscapes and environments of their time, and understand their burial and preservation phenomena in three-dimensions. Readership: Advanced students in archaeology and geoarchaeology, as well as practicing archaeologists with an interest in GPS techniques.
