Archaeogenetic studies have described the formation of Eurasian 'steppe ancestry' as a mixture Eastern and Caucasus hunter-gatherers. However, it remains unclear when where this ancestry arose whether was related to horizon cultural innovations in 4th millennium BCE that subsequently facilitated advance pastoral societies Eurasia. Here we generated genome-wide SNP data from 45 prehistoric individuals along 3000-year temporal transect North Caucasus. We observe genetic separation between...

Abstract Archaeogenetic studies have described the formation of Eurasian ‘steppe ancestry’ as a mixture Eastern and Caucasus hunter-gatherers. However, it remains unclear when where this ancestry arose whether was related to horizon cultural innovations in 4 th millennium BCE that subsequently facilitated advance pastoral societies likely linked dispersal Indo-European languages. To address this, we generated genome-wide SNP data from 45 prehistoric individuals along 3000-year temporal...
The Wartberg culture (WBC, 3500-2800 BCE) dates to the Late Neolithic period, a time of important demographic and cultural transformations in western Europe. We performed genome-wide analyses 42 individuals who were interred WBC collective burial Niedertiefenbach, Germany (3300-3200 cal. BCE). results showed that farming population Niedertiefenbach carried surprisingly large hunter-gatherer ancestry component (34-58%). This was most likely introduced during transformation led WBC. In...
To assess phenotypic variation of porous cranial lesions and their co-occurrence with infections the upper respiratory apparatus endocranial lesions, to infer disease burden in two different Neolithic socio-economic groups. Human skulls at least 111 individuals from a collective grave Sorsum (farmers) 30 individual biurials Ostorf (aquatic foragers) northern Germany (c. 3300-2900 BCE). A new data recording protocol for scoring lesion assessment inter- intra-site frequencies anatomical...
It is a common assumption that – compared with the Mesolithic adoption of Neolithic lifeways was accompanied by higher risk infection and development epidemic diseases. Such hypothesis seems plausible when considering singular archaeological parameters like increasing population density palaeopathological indicators poor health. However, evidence for far-reaching consequences epidemics has not yet been examined. Thus, relevance infectious diseases as triggers transformation processes in...
After 500 y of colonizing the forest-steppe area northwest Black Sea, on territories what is today Moldova and Ukraine, Trypillia societies founded large, aggregated settlements from ca. 4150 BCE mega-sites (>100 ha) 3950 BCE. Covering up to 320 ha housing 15,000 inhabitants, latter were world's largest date. Some 480
ABSTRACT We combine the results of a radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating program with archaeogenetic, osteological and sparse stratigraphic data, to construct Bayesian chronological model for multi-generational sequence situated entirely on plateau in C calibration curve. Calibrated dates individual human bones from Late Neolithic gallery grave at Niedertiefenbach, Hesse, Germany, span entire late 4th millennium (ca. 3350–3100/3000 cal BC), but our restricts overall period burial 3–6 generations...
To investigate the feasibility of using magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects for synchronization magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with cardiac cycle.The MHD effect was scrutinized a pulsatile flow phantom at B(0) = 7.0 T. were examined in vivo healthy volunteers (n 10) ranging from 0.05-7.0 Noncontrast-enhanced MR angiography (MRA) carotids performed gated steady-state free-precession (SSFP) technique conjunction electrocardiogram (ECG) and synchronization.The potential correlates velocities...
Abstract Purpose: To establish a suitable setup for combining isometric handgrip exercise with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and to assess effects. Materials Methods: Fifty‐three healthy volunteers (31 males, mean age 45 ± 17 years) underwent in 3T scanner using prototype system custom‐made feedback that displayed the force. Handgrip was sustained at 30% of maximal contraction 6–8 minutes. Heart rate, blood pressure (BP), double product were determined sequentially. Stroke...
Abstract Chitin is a highly abundant N-acetylglucosamine polysaccharide that has been linked to immune responses in the context of fungal infections and allergic asthma, especially T helper 2 responses. Unfortunately, due frequent use crude chitin preparations unknown purity degree polymerization, there still great uncertainty about how activates different parts human system. We recently identified oligomers 6 units as smallest immunologically active motif innate receptor TLR2 primary sensor...
Abstract We present an interdisciplinary analysis of finds from the Trypillia settlement Kosenivka, Ukraine (ca. 3700–3600 BCE, C1), that links information on human, faunal, and botanical remains with archaeological data to provide exceptionally detailed insights into life death at a mega-site. obtained osteological, palaeopathological, histotaphonomic human bone fragments; performed carbon nitrogen stable isotopic animal calculate food webs software FRUITS; modelled newly generated...
Purpose This work proposes a dual contrast rapid acquisition with relaxation enhancement (RARE) variant (2in1‐RARE), which provides simultaneous proton density (PD) and T 2 * in single acquisition. Theory Methods The underlying concept of 2in1‐RARE is the strict separation spin echoes stimulated echoes. approach offers independent weighting was evaluated phantoms including signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) point spread function assessment. benchmarked versus coherent RARE split‐echo variant....
This article is based on an international randomised controlled trial (RCT) in psychiatry investigating the effects of music therapy difficult to treat psychiatric clients who show a lack motivation attend therapy. Previous research has shown that can be alternative therapeutic treatment for this client group and RCT aimed address observation. The was collaboration between therapists from different cultures - Norway, Austria Australia. Consequently, provided influenced by training...
Abstract The Wartberg culture (WBC, 3,500-2,800 BCE) dates to the Late Neolithic period, a time of important demographic and cultural transformations in western Europe. We perform genome-wide analysis 42 individuals who were interred WBC collective burial Niedertiefenbach, Germany (3,300-3,200 cal. BCE). Our results highlight that Niedertiefenbach population indeed emerged at beginning WBC. This farming community was genetically heterogeneous carried surprisingly large hunter-gatherer...
This study discusses the challenges and possibilities of establishing a definition for Ancient Rare Diseases (ARD) in probable case Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD) from Bronze Age cemetery Kudachurt 14, situated Northern Caucasus. We investigated skeletal remains male aged 35–45 years at death. For comparison we examined other males buried 14 (n = 24) reviewed 22 LCPD cases paleopathological literature. use macroscopic as well osteometric examination methods imaging techniques. The...
By sharing and shaping a common focus through music, music therapy clients in mental health care involve themselves therapeutic process which is not necessarily bound to verbal language. Supplementing previous research showing that even with low motivation can benefit from therapy, this study concentrates on how develop client population often hard reach by approaches. Based the assumption our clients' implicit ideas of favourable changes inform their way use we examined music-related...
Zusammenfassung Das Galeriegrab von Niedertiefenbach stellt einen besonderen Befund der späten Wartberggruppe im Neolithikum Deutschen Mittelgebirgsschwelle dar; nur hier findet sich ein in zehn Straten geborgenes Bestattungskollektiv mindestens 177 Individuen. Eine umfangreiche Serie Radiokarbondatierungen belegt wesentlich höheres Alter des Grabes als bisher publiziert und erlaubt die Modellierung einer Bestattungssequenz zwischen 3.350 2.900 cal BC. neue paläopathologische Untersuchung,...
In the Central European context imitation of natural stone is called stucco marble or scagliola. During its manufacture, mixture gypsum, animal glue and pigments produces a marble-like structure after several sanding polishing processes it attains glossy surface. Scagliola plays significant role in history interior design eighteenth nineteenth centuries central Europe. Originally, was used during first half seventeenth century to imitate inlaid work, pietra dura, for table tops as...
A case of a newborn child with extensive congenital absence epidermis is presented. Following our review the literature, this appears to be most described. Some possible etiological causes rare disease are briefly discussed.
