Abstract:
The medial cuneiforms and first metatarsals were identified in 515 randomly selected specimens at the Hamman-Todd osteology collection in the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in Cleveland, Ohio, and the transverse plane angulation of the hallucal tarsometatarsal joint was determined by direct measurement of the selected bones. Medial cuneiforms were subsequently separated into three categories corresponding to the amount of measured obliquity. The first tarsometatarsal joint was reassembled, and the paired medial cuneiforms and first metatarsals were radiographed at different declination angles in inverted, everted, and rectus positions. Radiographic evaluation revealed discordance between the appearance of atavism and true atavism in the cuneiform. Specifically, it was determined that the position of the hallucal tarsometatarsal joint significantly influenced the appearance of atavism in the cuneiform. It is concluded that the position of the first ray in an anteroposterior radiograph can produce the appearance of an increased obliquity angle of the medial cuneiform, resulting in an inaccurate representation of the hallucal tarsometatarsal joint.

Abstract:
Dislocation of the intermediate cuneiform is a rare injury, and only a few cases have been reported .Cuneiforms dislocations have been treated in a variety of methods, ranging from open or closed reduction, without or with fixation such as Krischner wires or screws. Methods: A 24 years old female presented with right foot pain following fall from motorbike after got hit by a car from back. She related a history that her right foot was forced into torsion and plantarflexion at impact . On examination there was a bony protuberance on the dorsal surface, at cuneiform area . Radiograph showed dorsal dislocation of intermediate cuneiform. CT scan was performed and supported the radiographical findings. Manipulation under sedation was attempted, but was unsuccessful. Results: Patient was placed supine under spinal anesthesia . A dorsal incision was made centering over the protuberance proceeded distally up to the base of the second-metatarsal. The dislocated middle cuneiform was identified. There was proximal soft tissue attachment to the middle cuneiform which was carefully preserved. It temporarily reduced with Krishner wires and a 2.7 mm variable angle locking plate was fixed dorsally to butress the bone dislocation . The foot was immobilized with a boot slab for 6 weeks and subsequently physiotherapy was instituted and gradual weight-bearing started. Postoperative follow-up was uneventful. Discussion: Intermediate cuneiform is a part of the transverse and medial longitudinal arches of the foot and the stability is achieved by the deep transverse, dorsal, and plantar ligaments. It’s shaped like a wedge, the thin end pointing downwards, situated between medial and lateral cuneiforms, and articulates with the navicular posteriorly, the second metatarsal anteriorly and with the other cuneiforms on either side. Because it is wedge shaped and positioned dorsally, it has a tendency to dislocate dorsally, particularly when a plantar flexion force is applied to the midfoot. Immediate reduction and maintaining in reduced position is needed for good ligamentous healing. Conclusion: Intermediate cuneiform dislocation is a rare injury to encounter due to stable articulation of joints and ligament. Significant trauma is required for these injuries to take place. Open reduction is the gold standard treatment for these injuries.

Abstract:
A fracture to the intermediate cuneiform that was not definitively detected on routine radiographs because of the overlap of the cuneiform was presented. Weightbearing x-rays did not provide additional information. The anatomical location of the fracture was identified only after a computed tomography scan was performed. An incidental finding, bilateral bipartite medial cuneiforms, was also observed on the computed tomography scan, which contributed to the overlap on routine radiographs. The anatomy of the bipartite medial cuneiforms seen on computed tomography was similar to that described by Barlow in 1942. Retrospective comparison to the initial radiographs with the computed tomography scan sections did reveal bipartite medial cuneiforms on these films as well. The podiatric physician should keep bipartition in mind when evaluating x-rays for any osseous pathology, especially fractures.

Abstract:
La presente contribución pretende revisar de qué manera la Historia Social, entendida como corriente historiográfica, ha penetrado en el mundo de los estudios cuneiformes y en la Historia de Mesopotamia. De esta manera, se ha realizado una exhaustiva revisión de la bibliografía disponible, sobre todo la referida a los veinticinco últimos años. El resultado principal es que esta tendencia historiográfica ha sido fructífera para el estudio del mundo cuneiforme, si bien dependiendo de periodos y temas ha tenido desigual fortuna. Además, se proporciona una visión (personal) de las líneas de investigación que, en el futuro, podrían seguir desarrollándose en el marco de la Historia Social de la antigua Mesopotamia. This contribution aims at revising how social history, understood as a historiographical current, has entered the world of cuneiform studies and the history of Mesopotamia. A thorough review of all the available literature has been carried out, especially those studies published during the last twenty-five years. The main outcome is that this historiographical trend has been rather fruitful within the framework of cuneiform studies – yet with unequal results, depending on periods and topics. Finally, a (personal) vision is offered of the areas of research that, in future, may be further developed in the context of the social history of ancient Mesopotamia.

Abstract:
The three (medial, intermediate, and lateral) cuneiforms and their articulations in the foot are small and relatively well protected from injury. An isolated fracture of the lateral cuneiform is a rare finding. However, isolated injuries may occur as the result of direct trauma. We report a case of an isolated fracture of the lateral cuneiform that was not seen on initial radiographs and only became evident on plain radiographs 4 weeks after the injury. As each of the cuneiform bones articulates with four other bones in the midpart of the foot, persistent displacement of any fracture (subluxation or dislocation) may result in post-traumatic arthritis. We believe that in suspected cases with negative radiographic findings, further imaging (computed tomography or bone scanning) should be requested. Without the use of additional imaging techniques, many fractures may be misdiagnosed as ankle sprains or foot contusions, and patients may be discharged from the hospital.

Abstract:
Category: Midfoot/Forefoot, Sports Introduction/Purpose: Tarsal coalitions are a relatively common, often asymptomatic disorder with an incidence of 1-6% in clinical studies and 11-13% in cadaver studies. Calcaneonavicular, followed by talonavicular, are the most common forms of coalitions, but a variety of other coalitions have been described in radiographic, anatomic, and clinical literature. Despite the varied research that has focused on the topic in recent decades, there are no identified reports of cuneiform to cuneiform coalition in the literature. Methods: The authors present the unique case of medial and intermediate cuneiform coalition in a young female track athlete. A 19 year old female Division 1 hurdler presented with 1 year of atraumatic midfoot pain limiting her ability to compete. Despite evaluation by multiple orthopedic surgeons, the etiology of the pain was undetermined, and she had failed multiple conservative treatment options. Her exam revealed diffuse midfoot tenderness and increased midfoot pain with twisting motion. MRI and CT evaluation showed coalition between medial and intermediate cuneiforms with early degenerative changes. Ultrasound guided injection in this area resulted in relief of symptoms, confirming the diagnosis. The patient underwent coalition release and medial- intermediate cuneiform arthrodesis. Results: Postoperatively the patient underwent a period of nonweightbearing then progressed back to activity. CT scan confirmed solid arthrodesis and she was cleared to return to track competition. She successfully returned to competitive collegiate hurdling 11 months after surgery while noting only occasional discomfort in the foot. Conclusion: With no previous reports identified in the literature, cuneiform to cuneiform coalitions are a rare clinical entity. It is likely that the patient in the current case experienced symptoms related to this pathology because of her high level athletic participation. After failing conservative management, the patient experienced a good outcome after coalition release and arthrodesis. Although it is likely that patients with similar pathology who fail conservative management may expect similarly positive outcomes, review of future cases will help further define the optimal treatment for this condition.

Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to define the fracture type and investigate the injuries related to single medial, intermediate, or lateral cuneiform fracture. Methods: From January 2008 to December 2018, 30 consecutive patients (30 cases) who were treated in the single institution for the single cuneiform fractures were reviewed retrospectively. Each fracture was categorized by location and type (intra- or extra-articular avulsion, axial compression, and direct blow). We also investigated the related foot bone fractures or dislocations on the affected side. Results: Twenty-one, one, and eight cases with single medial, intermediate, and lateral cuneiform bone fractures, respectively, were identified. More than two-thirds of the single cuneiform fractures were observed in the medial cuneiform bone. The single medial cuneiform fracture was associated with various types of foot injuries including Lisfranc injury, naviculo-cuneiform joint dislocation, or calcaneo-cuboidal dislocation. Single lateral cuneiform fractures were more frequently observed than single intermediate cuneiform fractures. Conclusion: More than two-thirds of the single cuneiform fractures were observed in the medial cuneiform bone. Most intra-articular avulsion fractures were associated with high-energy trauma.

Abstract:
Midfoot motion was determined using an in vitro model. Ten fresh-frozen below-the-knee amputation specimens were instrumented by inserting reference pins into each of the bones of the hindfoot, midfoot and metatarsals. Dorsiflexion-plantar flexion and supination-pronation were simulated and the reference pin location in three dimensional space was determined. Comparing the location of the reference pins at each simulated position, motion was determined. Motion occurring through each articulation (dorsiflexion-plantar flexion/supination-pronation) in degrees was: talonavicular (7.0/17.7), calcaneocuboid (2.3/ 7.3), naviculo-medial cuneiform (5.0/7.3), naviculo-middle cuneiform (5.2/3.5), naviculo-lateral cuneiform (2.6/2.1), medial cuneiform-first metatarsal (3.5/1.5), middle cuneiform-second metatarsal (0.6/1.2), lateral cuneiform-third metatarsal (1.6/2.6), cuboid-fourth metatarsal (9.6/11.1), and cuboid-fifth metatarsal (10.2/9.0).

Abstract:
In der Bioinformatik und der Next-Generation Sequenzierung benötigen wir oft große und komplexe Verarbeitungsabläufe um Daten zu analysieren. Die Werkzeuge und Bibliotheken, die hierin die Verarbeitungsschritte bilden, stammen aus unterschiedlichen Quellen und exponieren unterschiedliche Schnittstellen, was ihre Integration in Datenanalyseplattformen erschwert. Hinzu kommt, dass diese Verarbeitungsabläufe meist große Datenmengen prozessieren weshalb Forscher erwarten, dass unabhängige Verarbeitungsschritte parallel laufen. Der Stand der Technik im Feld der wissenschaftlichen Datenverarbeitung für Bioinformatik und Next-Generation Sequenzierung sind wissenschaftliche Workflowsysteme. Ein wissenschaftliches Workflowsystem erlaubt es Forschern Verarbeitungsabläufe als Workflow auszudrücken. Solch ein Workflow erfasst die Datenabhängigkeiten in einem Verarbeitungsablauf, integriert externe Software und erlaubt es unabhängige Verarbeitungsschritte zu erkennen, um sie parallel auszuführen. In dieser Arbeit präsentieren wir Cuneiform, eine Workflowsprache, und ihre verteilte Ausführungsumgebung. Für Cuneiform's Design nehmen wir die Perspektive der Programmiersprachentheorie ein. Wir lassen Methoden der funktionalen Programmierung einfließen um Komposition und Datenabhängigkeiten auszudrücken. Wir nutzen operationelle Semantiken um zu definieren, wann ein Workflow wohlgeformt und konsistent ist und um Reduktion zu erklären. Für das Design der verteilten Ausführungsumgebung nehmen wir die Perspektive der verteilten Systeme ein. Wir nutzen Petri Netze um die Kommunikationsstruktur der im System beteiligten Agenten zu erklären.
Bioinformatics and next-generation sequencing data analyses often form large and complex pipelines. The tools and libraries making up the processing steps in these pipelines come from different sources and have different interfaces which hampers integrating them into data analysis frameworks. Also, these pipelines process large data sets. Thus, users need to parallelize independent processing steps. The state of the art in large-scale scientific data analysis for bioinformatics and next-generation sequencing are scientific workflow systems. A scientific workflow system allows researchers to describe a data analysis pipeline as a scientific workflow which integrates external software, defines the data dependencies forming a data analysis pipeline, and parallelizes independent processing steps. Scientific workflow systems consist of a workflow language providing a user interface, and an execution environment. The workflow language determines how users express workflows, reuse and compose workflow fragments, integrate external software, how the scientific workflow system identifies independent processing steps, and how we derive optimizations from a workflow's structure. The execution environment schedules and runs data processing operations. In this thesis we present Cuneiform, a workflow language, and its distributed execution environment. For Cuneiform's design we take the perspective of programming languages. We adopt methods from functional programming towards composition and expressing data dependencies. We apply operational semantics and type systems to define well-formedness, consistency, and reduction of Cuneiform workflows. For the design of the distributed execution environment we take the perspective of distributed systems. We apply Petri nets to define the communication patterns among the distributed execution environment's agents.

Abstract:
This thesis interrogates the extent to which a range of written variation in the Old Babylonian letters from the central area of Mesopotamia relate significantly to variables denoting temporal-historical (diachronic), spatial-geographical (diatopic) or individual- situational heterogeneity. The object of the study is Old Babylonian, an ancient language whose large written record embodies a widespread practice of writing in a sizeable array of genres, including cursive and personal scripts, that flourished in a time of substantial geo-political changes. Some dialectal varieties of Old Babylonian have been already identified and described in detail, particularly those of the peripheral areas. However, despite early attempts to define broad linguistic dialectal areas there is not yet a full description of, the palaeographic, orthographic and linguistic traits of variability within the central Mesopotamian area. The present study analyses the documented variation of a set of orthographic and linguistic variables as they transpire in a corpus of Old Babylonian correspondence (ACCOB) created for that purpose, which contains grammatical as well as extralinguistic annotations of temporal, geographical or social characteristics of the producers or the consumers of the letters. The combination of a quantitative approach to the distribution of variables and a micro- level study of the documents demonstrates that, despite limitations in the type of extra- linguistic information available and the restrictions of a research project focused solely on the analysis of edited transliterations of letters, a number of orthographic and linguistic features associate significantly to regional and/or temporal coordinates, sometimes revealing an intertwined multicausality of factors. On the other hand, the alleged sociolinguistic or diaphasic saliency of epistolary documents from the central royal administration needs to be redefined under the perspective of the heterogeneous landscape of the Old Babylonian language. The findings for the variables analysed in the study present a more nuanced description of the Old Babylonian language and its orthographic practices that may serve as a basis for further research in the area.
Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht, inwieweit eine Auswahl von schriftlichen Variationen in den altbabylonischen Briefen aus Mittelmeesopotamien signifikante linguistische Variablennutzen, die zeitlich-historische (diachronische), räumlich- geographische (diatopische) oder individuell-situative Heterogenität bezeichnen. Gegenstand der Studie ist das Altbabylonische. Diese antike Sprache verkörpert durch den den großen Umfang der schriftlichen Aufzeichnungen eine weit verbreitete Praxis des Schreibens in einer signifikanten Reihe von Genres, einschließlich Skripte in Schreibschrift, die in einer Zeit der substanziellen geopolitischen Veränderungen ihre Hochzeit hatte. Einige altbabylonische Dialekte, insbesondere aus den Randgebieten, wurden bereits im Detail identifiziert und beschrieben. Trotz früherer Versuche, breite sprachliche Dialektgebiete zu definieren, gibt es jedoch noch keine vollständige Beschreibung der paläographischen, orthographischen und sprachlichen Variabilität innerhalb des zentralmesopotamischen Gebietes. Die vorliegende Untersuchung analysiert die dokumentierte Variation einer Reihe von orthographischen und sprachlichen Variablen, wie sie sich in einem zu diesem Zweck erstellten Korpus der alttbabylonischen Korrespondenz (ACCOB) manifestieren, der grammatikalische und außersprachlichen Annotationen zeitlicher, geographischer oder sozialer Merkmale der Produzenten oder Konsumenten der Briefe enthält. Die Kombination aus einem quantitativen Ansatzes für die Verteilung der Variablen und einer Mikrostudie der Dokumente zeigt, dass trotz der Einschränkungen in der Art der außersprachlichen Informationen und der Beschränkungen eines Forschungsprojekts, das sich ausschließlich auf die Analyse der editierten Transskriptionen von Briefen konzentriert, eine Reihe von orthographischen und sprachlichen Merkmalen signifikant mit regionalen und / oder zeitlichen Koordinaten assoziierrt werden können,. Manchmal offenbart diese eine ineinandergreifende Multikausalität von Faktoren. Gleichzeitig muss die angebliche soziolinguistische oder diaphasische Salienz der Briefdokumente der zentralen königlichen Verwaltung unter dem Blickwinkel der heterogenen Landschaft der altbabylonischen Sprache neu definiert werden. Die Ergebnisse der in der Studie analysierten Variablen sind eine differenzierte Beschreibung der altbabylonischen Sprache und ihrer orthographischen Praktiken, die als Grundlage für weitere Forschungen in diesem Gebiet dienen kann.

A presente dissertação buscou analisar uma norma bíblica, a saber, Ex 21, 28-36 respeitando o seu contexto literário, todavia buscando conhecer sua origem, natureza e interpretação no complexo mais amplo da cultura jurídica do Antigo Oriente Próximo. Com esta finalidade, foi realizada uma intensa pesquisa sobre a origem, natureza e finalidade das chamadas coleções de direito cuneiformes, a fim de comparar a norma bíblica com suas variantes nas coleções jurídicas de Esnunna e Hammurabi. A intensão de tal pesquisa foi ler a literatura bíblica em relação às outras obras literárias do Antigo Oriente Próximo. Ambas são frutos de um mesmo contexto cultural e se relacionaram mutuamente. Este trabalho exegético e comparativo demonstrou, que o círculo israelita que trabalhou a norma bíblica em Ex 21, 28-36, conheceu as variantes em CE 53-55 e CH 250- 252, porém reinterpretou as normativas de acordo com seus propósitos particulares.
The present dissertation tried to carry out an analysis of a Biblical norm, that is, Ex. 21,28-36, taking into consideration specially its literary context, in order to get in touch more thoroughly with its origin, nature and interpretation in the deepest and largest context of the Jewish culture of the Near Ancient Orient. Bearing in mind such an objective, an intensive research was put into practice about origin, nature and objective of the so called collections of cuneiform rights, establishing comparisons between the biblical norms and its variations in the juridical collections of Esnunna and Hammurabi Code. The principal aim of such a research was to study the Biblical literature related to the other literary assays about Near Ancient Orient. Both are fruits from the same cultural context and they are deeply and intimately related. These exegetic and comparative assays indicated that the Israelite Circle that elaborated the biblical norm in Ex 21, 28-36, had a perfect knowledge about the variations in EC 53-55 and in HC 250-252, but they interpreted the normative forms according to their personal concerns.

Abstract:
Reducing the time spent by experts on the process of cuneiform fragment reconstruction means that more time can be spent on the translation and interpretation of the information that the cuneiform fragments contain. Modern computers and ancillary technologies such as 3D printing have the power to simplify the process of cuneiform reconstruction, and open up the field of reconstruction to non-experts through the use of virtual fragments and new reconstruction methods. In order for computers to be effective in this context, it is important to understand the current state of available technology, and to understand the behaviours and strategies of individuals attempting to reconstruct cuneiform fragments. This thesis presents the results of experiments to determine the behaviours and actions of participants reconstructing cuneiform tablets in the real and virtual world, and then assesses tools developed specifically to facilitate the virtual reconstruction process. The thesis also explores the contemporary and historical state of relevant technologies. The results of experiments show several interesting behaviours and strategies that participants use when reconstructing cuneiform fragments. The experiments include an analysis of the ratio between rotation and movement that show a significant difference between the actions of successful and unsuccessful participants, and an unexpected behaviour that the majority of participants adopted to work with the largest fragments first. It was also observed that the areas of the virtual workspace used by successful participants was different from the areas used by unsuccessful participants. The work further contributes to the field of reconstruction through the development of appropriate tools that have been experimentally proved to dramatically increase the number of potential joins that an individual is able to make over period of time.

Abstract:
The earliest, but scarce, evidence of cuneiform signs being used syllabically to write Akkadian words and proper nouns is at Fara and Tell Abu Salabikh between 2600 BC and 2500 BC. Between around 2350 BC and 1800 BC, there is an increase in the development and use of signs with syllabic values across Mesopotamia and Syria, but these syllabic values (together called 'syllabaries') are still very local in nature with significant and observable differences in sign usage and values between sites. Starting around 1800 BC, reforms to the system begin to be enforced that standardise these signs and their values, which essentially ends any major variability in the script within specific periods. This provides us with a period of almost 600 years, spanning the second half of the third millennium and early second millennium BC, during which there is a wealth of textual data documenting the first full adaptation of the cuneiform script to syllabically write Semitic words and proper nouns. This thesis investigates the attestations and usage of syllabic values to write Semitic lexemes in the cuneiform text corpora from Ebla, Mari, Nabada, Tuttul, Adab, Eshnunna, Kish, Tutub, Assur, and Gasur - with a particular focus on the Syrian sites - during the second half of the third millennium BC and early second millennium BC in order to answer the following two research questions: 1. Did each third millennium site in Mesopotamia and Syria have its own unique syllabary? 2. What were the primary factors that influenced the differences between the syllabaries? This research uses a series of three interdependent techniques to determine and understand the use and distribution of syllabic values within the cuneiform writing system during the second half of the third millennium BC and early second millennium BC. The results suggest that during this period cuneiform syllabaries are variable, and that variation can further inform us about the regional, temporal, and dialectical contexts in which they existed. The addition of this research to the wider literature on the early adaptation of cuneiform will enhance the field's understanding of how cuneiform syllabic values began to develop and emerge across the ancient Near East, and demonstrates how scientific and computational methods of analysis can be applied to research questions in humanities subjects.
