The influence of religious identity and socio-economic status on diet over time, an example from medieval France

2019

International audience; In Southern France as in other parts of Europe, significant changes occurred in settlement patterns between the end of Antiquity and the beginning of the Middle Ages. Small communities gathered to form, by the tenth century, villages organized around a church. This development was the result of a new social and agrarian organization. Its impact on lifestyles and, more precisely, on diet is still poorly understood. The analysis of carbon and nitrogen isotopes in bone collagen from the inhabitants of the well-preserved medieval rural site Missignac-Saint Gilles le Vieux (fifth to thirteenth centuries, Gard, France) provides insight into their dietary practices and enab…

Patch-based survey methods for studying prehistoric human land-use in agriculturally modified landscapes: A case study from the Canal de Navarrés, ea…

2018

Abstract In landscapes whose surface has been modified by terracing and other agricultural land-use, the spatial and temporal patterning of prehistoric settlement can be difficult to detect using traditional, site-orientated archaeological survey methods, especially for small-scale societies. In these contexts, methods that can reveal occupational patterns at landscape scales, without the need to pinpoint specific sites of human occupation, can be especially useful. We employ a stratified, randomly selected patch-based survey strategy to examine socio-ecological dynamics from the Middle Paleolithic through Bell Beaker (Chalcolithic) periods within the Canal de Navarres, eastern Spain. We di…

Quantifying and addressing the prevalence and bias of study designs in the environmental and social sciences

2020

Building trust in science and evidence-based decision-making depends heavily on the credibility of studies and their findings. Researchers employ many different study designs that vary in their risk of bias to evaluate the true effect of interventions or impacts. Here, we empirically quantify, on a large scale, the prevalence of different study designs and the magnitude of bias in their estimates. Randomised designs and controlled observational designs with pre-intervention sampling were used by just 23% of intervention studies in biodiversity conservation, and 36% of intervention studies in social science. We demonstrate, through pairwise within-study comparisons across 49 environmental da…

Creating a questionnaire for a scientific study

2016

Using questionnaires has become a permanent part of collecting data in scientific studies within the sphere of human sciences as well as other disciplines. It has been utilized already for nearly a century in collecting data. The first questionnaires were carried out on paper but nowadays there are e-questionnaires alongside it which can be carried out through e-mail or published on a social media platform (for example, Facebook). An often used method is also a survey which is carried out with a research project's own web page, association or company etc. A questionnaire has been considered as an actual scientific method of data collection since 1930s. However, it was already used a little …

Ètica i ciència en la normativa lingüística

2014

L’article tracta un tema poc debatut: quines condicions ètiques, socials i científiques deuen satisfer les gramàtiques de les acadèmies. Les normes deuen estar fonamentades en estudis i en argumentacions, mai en el dogma i en l’autoritarisme. Amb mitjans objectius, les gramàtiques han de potenciar l’autoestima i la confiança dels parlants (§2). Com que els seus destinataris són els parlants en general, han de definir els conceptes que usen i han de buscar una redacció coherent i comprensible (§4). Eixes característiques contribuïxen a desplegar una formació crítica, que complementa l’autoestima. En el cas valencià, també hi ha l’objectiu d’augmentar la cohesió de la societat valenciana i su…

Managing an online survey about influenza vaccination in primary healthcare workers

2015

Online surveys are increasingly used due to their speed and efficiency. The aim of this study was to analyze factors that may have contributed to the quality and speed of response of an online survey on influenza vaccination in primary healthcare workers. A multicenter study including family physicians, nurses and pediatricians from primary healthcare teams from seven Spanish Autonomous Communities was designed. The centers were selected by simple random sampling. The survey remained active and accessible for 56 days and four reminders were sent. The odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to assess the association of sociodemographic variables and respondin…

Alesa Arconidea (Tusa): proposta ricostruttiva dell’agora tardo ellenistica

2022

In the second half of the second century BC, in the wake of the building renovation that affected the most important urban centers of northern Sicily, even the ancient city of Alesa Arconidea remodeled its monumental structure. The agora/forum, in particular, was restructured in a scenographic system, acquiring the architectural characteristics of a typical Hellenistic monumental complex, similar to those of Greece and Asia Minor, by which it was influenced. In planimetric terms, to date up to the present time, the agora represents a unicum in Sicily because of its Π shape with deep double columns of the arcade, which enclose a large square excluded to vehicular traffic. Recent researches a…

Chances and Problems of Cultural Anthropological Perspectives in Ancient Studies. Theories – Methods – Case Studies

2020

The Distant Worlds Journal (DWJ) is an online peer-reviewed journal established especially for presenting the research of early-career scholars on the ancient world. Each edition of the DWJ centres on a specific question or topic pertinent to the diverse disciplines engaged in the study of ancient cultures. In our fourth edition, we explore cultural anthropological theories and methods in the ancient studies, both in terms of the opportunities they offer for the study of ancient cultures and the problems they pose when applied.

La situazione originaria

2017

Nelle Lezioni di pedagogia fondamentale, curate dall'Autore, si tratta del primo capitolo della Seconda unità formativa, dal titolo Genesi del problema educativo e della riflessone pedagogica nei mondi della vita. Una analitica dell'esistenza umana.Scrive in avvio l'Autore: " Facciamo subito nostra quella che per la fenomenologia costituisce la prima regola per il pensiero: condurre la riflessione mossi dal criterio dell’evidenza . Ora, la prima evidenza che si offre quando s’inizia una riflessione – ed è quanto accade a noi che vogliamo ragionare di fenomeni educativi – è che c’è un soggetto, ci son dei soggetti che si pongono delle domande. C’è qualcosa, meglio qualcuno, un io sono che qu…
