Techniques that are currently available for estimating stature and body mass from European skeletal remains all subject to various limitations. Here, we develop new prediction equations based on large samples representing much of the continent temporal periods ranging Mesolithic 20th century. Anatomical reconstruction is carried out 501 individuals, calculated estimated biiliac breadth in 1,145 individuals. These data used derive estimation formulae long bone lengths femoral head breadth....
Syphilis is a globally re-emerging disease, which has marked European history with devastating epidemic at the end of 15th century. Together non-venereal treponemal diseases, like bejel and yaws, are found today in subtropical tropical regions, it currently poses substantial health threat worldwide. The origins spread diseases remain unresolved, including syphilis' potential introduction into Europe from Americas. Here, we present first genetic data archaeological human remains reflecting...
A description is given of the research undertaken to provide a broad overview distribution and numbers people who are subsistence or artisanal fishers their activities along coast South Africa, assist in formulation management protocols refine existing definition fishing. In total, 200 were interviewed during study, resulting identification about 147 fishing communities, an estimated 28 338 fisher households 29 233 potentially could be considered as fishers. Most these found on East Coast,...
Abstract Human ancient DNA studies have revealed high mobility in Europe’s past, and helped to decode the human history on Eurasian continent. Northeastern Europe, especially north of Baltic Sea, however, remains less well understood largely due lack preserved remains. Finland, with a divergent population from most offers unique perspective hunter-gatherer way life, but thus far genetic information prehistoric groups Finland is nearly absent. Here we report 103 complete mitochondrial genomes...
<b>Background and aims:</b> The role of nutrition in the pathogenesis colorectal cancer is not fully understood. Milk products are an essential part human Western countries. Absorption lactose, main sugar milk, regulated by activity lactase enzyme gut wall. genetically determined associated with a C/T single nucleotide polymorphism residing 13910 bp upstream coding sequence. Here we have studied relationship between C/T<sub>−13910</sub> Finnish, British, Spanish populations. <b>Patients...
Levänluhta is a unique archaeological site with the remains of nearly hundred Iron Age individuals found from water burial in Ostrobothnia, Finland. The strongest climatic downturn Common Era, resembling great Fimbulvinter Norse mythology, hit these people during 6th century AD. This study establishes chronological, dietary, and livelihood synthesis on this population based stable carbon nitrogen isotopic radiocarbon analyses human remains, supported by multidisciplinary evidence....
This paper summarizes recommendations for the management of previously marginalized and neglected subsistence fisheries in South Africa. The stem from activities analyses a task group appointed by Government mandated to provide advice about new fishing sector. following focus areas were identified attention: planning implementation; definitions fishers other sectors; assessment categorization resources; determination types activities; zonation; systems; training; communication mechanisms;...
Subsistence fishers were first recognized as a formal fishing sector in South Africa when new legislation, aimed at redressing past inequalities, was enacted 1998. Little information available about these fishers, their activities, and the resources upon which they rely. Recognizing imperative to gain an understanding of consult broadly, national agency responsible for management marine living resources, Marine Coastal Management (MCM) Department Environmental Affairs Tourism, appointed...
Abstract In this article, we present the results of an isotopic study diet for early medieval (Merovingian, Viking, Early Christian) humans buried in unique Luistari cemetery at Eura (ca. 600–1400 CE), southwestern Finland, largest region. Isotope analysis was conducted on 37 dentine and bone collagen (δ 13 C, δ 15 N, 34 S), five them were also studied using compound-specific nitrogen isotope analysis. Dental enamel and/or carbonate C values from altogether 65 humans, cattle, sheep/goats....
Summary Sexually transmitted (venereal) syphilis marked European history with a devastating epidemic at the end of 15 th century, and is currently re-emerging globally. Together non-venereal treponemal diseases, like bejel yaws, found in subtropical tropical regions, it poses prevailing health threat worldwide. The origins spread diseases remain unresolved, including syphilis’ potential introduction into Europe from Americas. Here, we present first genetic data archaeological human remains...
. The stimuli-responsive polymers reviewed in this paper are able to change their volume by shrinking or swelling, and hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity balance as a function of temperature. so-called Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST), where these thermo-responsive transitions happen, may be adjusted, for instance, using different kinds monomers copolymerizing together. Crosslinking agents often used adjust structural mechanical properties. Cellulose hemicelluloses has also been...
