Sabiedrība Latvijas teritorijā: saskarsmes un procesi vēsturē: tēzes, 2022. gada 3. un 4. marts

2022

This volume brings together the abstracts of papers presented at the session “Society in the Territory of Latvia: Contacts and Processes in History” held by the Institute of Latvian History, University of Latvia on 3–4 March 2022 in the frame of the 80th International Scientific Conference of the University of Latvia. The abstracts reflect the contribution by historians, archaeologists and ethnologists from the Institute of Latvian History, University of Latvia, National Library of Latvia, Specially Protected Cultural Monument – Turaida Museum Reserve, and the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia to the study of topical issues in history. Archaeological research reveals issues of origin and d…

Nuevas pinturas europeas en el MOBAT (Chile)

2018

El MOBAT es uno de los espacios culturales más significados de Chile, por la historia que envuelve su emblemático edificio como por la cantidad y calidad de obras artísticas y piezas históricas que atesora. Sin embargo, desde el terremoto de 2010, permanece cerrado al público y pendiente de ser restaurado y rehabilitado. En este trabajo completamos otros estudios anteriormente publicados sobre la colección de pintura europea que el museo alberga entre sus muros. The MOBAT is one of the most significant cultural spaces in Chile, due to the history that surrounds its emblematic building as well as the quantity and quality of artistic works and historical pieces that it treasures. However, sin…

Volcanological evolution of Pantelleria Island (Strait of Sicily) peralkaline volcano: a review

2022

International audience; Pantelleria volcano has a particularly intriguing evolutionary history intimately related to the peralkaline composition of its explosively erupted magmas. Due to the stratigraphic complexity, studies over the last two decades have explored either only the pre-Green Tuff ignimbrite volcanism or the post-Green Tuff activity. We here focus on the whole evolutionary history, detailing the achievements since the first pioneering studies, in order to illustrate how the adoption and integration of progressively more accurate methods (40 Ar/ 39 Ar, paleomagnetism, petrography, and detailed field study) have provided many important independent answers to unresolved questions…

Late Cretaceous palaeoenvironments expressed by the clay mineralogy of Cenomanian–Campanian chalks from the east of the Paris Basin

2005

Abstract The clay fraction of Cenomanian–Campanian chalks cored at Poigny and Sainte-Colombe, close to Provins (east-south-east of Paris), includes variable proportions of smectitic minerals, illite and kaolinite. The smectitic sediments (which constitute the background of low-terrigenous supply throughout the stratigraphic interval) resulted mainly from the warm, humid climate and high sea level that prevailed during Late Cretaceous in this area. During the Late Turonian, the smectitic sedimentation was interrupted by significant detrital inputs of illite and kaolinite. This reflected tectonic rejuvenation of landmasses coeval with an explosive volcanism expressed by the occurrence of bent…

Collapse structures in the Permian of the Saar-Nahe area, Southwest Germany

1971

Volcanic breccias near an intrusive rhyolite dome in the Permian Saar-Nahe trough of southwest Germany have been identified as complex pipe-like subsidence-structures occupying the site and immediate neighbourhood of “explosive” volcanoes.

Contrôle géodynamique de la sédimentation argileuse du Callovien-Oxfordien moyen dans l'Est du bassin de Paris: influence eustatique et volcanique

1999

The Middle Callovian to Middle Oxfordian clay deposits drilled in the eastern Paris Basin (borehole HTM 102, ANDRA) show a strong mineralogical change occurring in the lowermost Oxfordian (Scarburgense subzone, Mariae zone). Such a change probably results from the initial development of connections between the young Atlantic Ocean and the Paris Basin. A bentonitic layer identified close to the boundary between Lower and Middle Oxfordian and also recognized in the subalpine Basin (South-East of France) at the same age, reflects a volcanic activity probably resulting from an extensional regime located in the North Sea.

Climate change and the collapse of the Akkadian empire: Evidence from the deep sea

2000

The Akkadian empire ruled Mesopotamia from the headwaters of the Tigris-Euphrates Rivers to the Persian Gulf during the late third millennium B.C. Archeological evidence has shown that this highly developed civilization collapsed abruptly near 4170 ± 150 calendar yr B.P., perhaps related to a shift to more arid conditions. Detailed paleoclimate records to test this assertion from Mesopotamia are rare, but changes in regional aridity are preserved in adjacent ocean basins. We document Holocene changes in regional aridity using mineralogic and geochemical analyses of a marine sediment core from the Gulf of Oman, which is directly downwind of Mesopotamian dust source areas and archeological si…

Analgesic Treatment of Bone Metastases

2013

The presence of bone metastases predicts the presence of pain and is the most common cause of cancer-related pain. Although bone metastases do not involve vital organs, they may determine deleterious effects in patients with prolonged survival. Bone fractures, hypercalcaemia, neurologic deficits and reduced activity associated with bone metastases result in an overall compromise in the patient’s quality of life. A metastasis is a consequence of a cascade of events including a progressive growth at the primary site, vascularization phase, invasion, detachment, embolization, survival in the circulation, arrest at the site of a metastasis, extravasion, evasion of host defense and progressive g…
