Abstract With broad lines and dark shading, the cartographic depictions of ancient states empires convey impression comprehensive political entities having firm boundaries uniform territorial control. These oversimplify complexities early state growth, as well overstating capacity central governments to control large territories. Archaeological textual evidence suggests that are better understood through network models rather than bounded-territory models. Network approaches enable us depict...
Urban centers have inner and outer landscapes whose physical remains can be read as the materialization of social, political, economic, ritual interactions. Inner are manifested in architecture spatial organizations that configure relationships on basis economic status, ethnicity, occupation, age grade, gender within city. Outer composed hinterlands which urban depend for resources, including agricultural products in-migrating laborers who seek social opportunities. Urban-based elites reach...
Food preference is a socially constructed concept in which both consumers and producers define what “good to eat.” Staple crops daily meals are an important component of these definitions, as the regular use particular foods reinforces norms identity. preferences also affect agricultural systems because choices among cultivars based on social needs addition economic variables such yield caloric value.

Abstract As a relatively recent human phenomenon, cities are the physical culmination of many pre-existing psychological, social and cognitive capacities. The persistent presence deliberately empty spaces in urban areas both past present signals conscious creation maintenance those locales at various levels: household, neighbourhood civic/centralizing. Domestic space, particular space between among habitations, was likely to have been curated managed household level. However,...
Abstract When depicted on maps as homogenous territorial wholes, ancient states are visually summarized static entities in a way that conceals the highly fluid dynamics of polity formation, maintenance, and growth. Models derived from studies animal behavior show “territory” does not consist an undifferentiated use landscape. Instead, concept territory can be parsed into series resource‐rich nodes linked by corridors access, surrounded unutilized regions boundaries marked at points...

Infrastructure that shapes and facilitates daily life, such as pathways, conduits boundary walls, constitutes one of the most dynamic forms architecture in both ancient modern cities. Although infrastructure is conceived designed with particular goals capacities, its temporal spatial scale means it a constant work progress engages numerous agents: civic authorities design implement infrastructure; designated agencies maintain repair ordinary people utilize, modify, ignore or destroy it. can...
Introduction Snakebite is an important public health concern, especially in tropical areas, but the true burden remains unclear due to sub-optimal reporting and over-reliance on facility-based data. Methods A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted Samburu County, Kenya from December 2019 March 2020. Geospatial techniques were used create a sampling frame of all households County multistage cluster strategy select recruit study participants. Five year prevalence mortality rates...

Starting approximately 5,000 years ago, artisans began to utilize molds cast flowing media such as metal, clay, glass, and plaster. Molds enabled manufacturers efficiently increase the number of objects produced multiple consumers acquire exact duplicates. The ability make perfect copies also resulted in new perceptions style value, both producers could identify distinctions along a scale originality, from innovative one-of-a-kind items reliably standardized examples imperfectly executed...
A growing number of studies have found associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and adult well-being, with disparities subpopulations. Limited research exists about the association ACEs cognitive disability, variations by race ethnicity. This study reports a cross-sectional analysis 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data (n = 93 692) conducted in 2021. Logistic regression models examined disability (as defined serious difficulty concentrating,...
Beginning six thousand years ago, intermediate categories of socioeconomic status formed for the first time in cities as entrepreneurial individuals and households engaged scaled-up manufacturing activities new types “white collar” work, such accounting, writing, middle management. Knowledge workers were indispensable not only production trade that characterized ancient cities, but also growth management religious institutions development political authority. Archaeological textual data...

The authors report the case of a previously well 34-year-old woman presenting with hypertensive crises and grand-mal seizure following elective caesarean section. Initial treatment extreme hypertension, presumed eclamptic aetiology, magnesium labetalol was complicated by intermittent profound hypotensive episodes. This accompanied severe biventricular failure fluctuating systemic vascular resistance. Abdominal ultrasound revealed left suprarenal mass. A diagnosis phaeochromocytoma confirmed...
