Abstract:
The article examines the evolution of the castle fortifications, which for each region and historical period had their own characteristic features and their relationship with the planning structure of small towns in Podillya. The features of the formation of fortification systems, which influenced the architectural and planning structure of the cities of Podillya at the turn of the XVI-XVII centuries, are revealed. The castle`s fortification and fortification system of the cities of Berezhany, Zhovkva, Brody, Stanislav, Zbarazh, Medzhybozh and others are considered. Attention is paid to the peculiarities of changes in the fortification system of cities of the structural-typological level and the use of the modern bastion system, which supplanted the fortifications of the medieval type. The influence of these changes on the intensity of development of small cities in Podillya in the period of the XVI-XVII centuries is analyzed. Attention is focused on the formative influence of the fortifications of castle structures on the architectural and planning structure of cities, which was often decisive at the last stage of the formation of castles and their fortification. The process of uniting the castle and the city is considered, which went through different stages of re-planning: from placing the castle separately, through the interaction of fortification and up to the stage of obtaining a general outline of the city fortifications. The role of castle fortifications in the system of fortifications of the small cities of Podillya is determined. The influence of the development of fortifications of castles and their merger with the defense structure of the city on the urban planning process of the cities of Podillya of XVI-XVII centuries is investigated.
 The formation of castle fortifications in the historical, architectural, town-planning aspects and their influence on the architectural and planning structure of the small cities of Podillya and significance of this influence for understanding the future development of small historical cities of Podillya are considered.

Abstract:
This article aims to provide an analysis of the basic fortification constructions that formed the Uyskaya Fortification Line during the 18th and 19th centuries, such as fortresses, redoubts and outposts, based on newly found archive documents. These documents have made it possible to research the construction of these fortifications and compare the standard plans to the fortifications that were actually built, taking their function into consideration. The research aims to characterize Uyskaya Fortification Line as the foundation for the state building of the Russian Empire, the final element of the outer frontier.
 This article features the results of field observations aimed at studying the fortification monuments on the Uyskaya Fortification Line of the 18th and 19th centuries along the Rivers Kidysh, Uy, and Tobol. The intensity of exploration in this region was one of the lowest ever in Russian history. One of the major reasons is the lack of proper engineering provision of the Uyskaya Fortification line. In fact, the military authorities delegated all their duties concerning the fortresses and redoubts to the local people without payment or providing them with necessary tools. Mediocre fortifications or somewhere the lack of them didn’t contribute to forming the authority of the Russian Government among the locals which influenced a wide range of integration processes in Orenburg Krai. The results obtained in the research may be of interest to both experts in fortification and those who research the issues of state building.

This paper presents experimental results on blast testing of fortifications made from ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) and ordinary concrete (NC) by a non-contact explosion test with the TNT explosive. UHPC and NC samples used in the test were of the type of precast fortification of the real-scale and structure. TNT explosive was used in the test with a mass of 600 g per detonation. The explosive charge was centered on the top of fortifications, with the distance from the center of the explosion to the top of the fortification roof being 600 mm, 450 mm, and 300 mm, respectively. The test results, i.e., the strain of fortification roof ele-ments, the explosive load resistance, and the destruction level, were evaluated by comparing the UHPC and NC fortifications.

Abstract:
Fortification calls to mind images of high walls establishing clear lines between inside and outside and immobilizing enemies. However, even the most seemingly inert fortifications rely on subtle forms of mobility and more elaborate spatial relations. This article examines fortification as a technique of power in which warfare, the design of the built environment, and the organization of space are intertwined. Where research on fortification tends to emphasize the symbolic, sovereign aspirations of wall-building, the approach advanced here focuses on the spatial technologies and infrastructural projects of military architecture and engineering that remake space through martial means. The article follows the trajectory within military architecture by which linear fortifications became defense in depth and asks how transformations of ‘depth’ in contemporary warfare have come to integrate more complex, non-linear notions of space and time. By tracing the ways in which the curtain wall of Vauban’s bastion fortress transformed into the radar curtain, I argue that fortification constitutes a ‘becoming war’ in which ‘defensive’ war intensifies organized violence. As such, the concept of fortification proves indispensable for understanding the reinforced boundaries and delineated pathways cutting across the global space of contemporary warfare.

Abstract:
The authors analyzed the fortification features of the exceptional monuments of Russian stone-brick defensive architecture in Western Siberia of the late 17th – first half of the 18th centuries: the Kremlin in Tobolsk together with the Sophia and Gostiny Dvors, the Kremlin in Verkhoturye, the Monastery in Dalmatovo. We paid attention to the stages of their construction, tried to clarify the time of their construction. The method of analysis of graphic materials (fixation plans and projects) made it possible to identify the degree of implementation of the fortification objects planned for the project. The use of comparative architectural analysis of fortification elements of fortifications with analogues of the European part of Russia and methods of historical and architectural research (measurement and calculation) made it possible to determine their fortification role and the actual dimensions of fortification elements (the Monastery in Dalmatovo, the Kremlin in Tobolsk). The genesis method made it possible to interpret the ways of origin of the forms of fortification of the studied objects. When comparing the architectural monuments with each other, much in common was found: all fortification objects were built under the influence of the Russian architectural style that developed in domestic defense architecture in the late 15th to 17th centuries; when compared with the fortifications of that time in the European part of Russia, their style was equal to the Kremlin of Moscow and was far from the principles of bastion fortification, common not only in Western Europe, but also in the European part of Russia (for example, the fortifications of the 16th century in earthen version – the Earthen fortress of Ladoga, the Small Earthen City of Novgorod – and of the first years of the 18th century – the stone Novodvinsk fortress). The methods of formal, compositional and proportional analysis made it possible to pay special attention to the elements of fortification objects and describe their forms and construction solutions. The walls of the stone fortifications of Siberia followed the terrain, in contrast to the regular shape of the fortresses built according to the requirements of the fortification of that time; the number and frequency of towers did not meet the requirements: in the Verkhoturye Kremlin there were only two of them, and in the Dalmatovsky Monastery and the Tobolsk Kremlin they were unevenly distributed in the spans and some of them remained unfinished; the fortifications were not high – about 4.5 to 6 meters – and the hight was different; spinners on steep slopes included various administrative, residential or utility buildings (Kremlin in Tobolsk, Dalmatovsky Monastery), or they had a lower height compared to those on the floor side (Verkhoturye); the width of the spindles did not meet the requirements and at different sites it was about 1.8 m (the spindles of the fortresses of the European part of the country were 3 m wide or more); on the inside of the fortress, the parapets have arches about 3–4 m wide and high, loopholes of the sole fight (Sophia Dvor in Tobolsk), and sometimes sole and middle battles (Verkhoturye Kremlin, Dalmatovsky Monastery).

Abstract:
This paper is focused on selected units of casemates with enhanced fortification in the military fortification complex of the Czech borderlands landscape as specific forms of brownfields. They represent a functional system that interacts with surrounding nature, landscape character, and human society. Four approaches were chosen to study the function and potential of selected individual abandoned casemates with enhanced fortification, where each of them corresponds to one of the four landscape layers: genius loci, socio-economic sphere, functional relationship (between human and the landscape), and natural conditions. There is a corresponding research method for each of the landscape layers (guided interview with respondents, data analysis on abandoned casemates with enhanced fortifications as brownfields, analysis of their landscape functions, and zoological survey of interior). The main results could show that abandoned casemates with enhanced fortifications can play important roles in all landscape layers: stories and genius loci, abandoned casemates with enhanced fortification as a special type of military brownfield but also as a semi-natural ecosystem, and the same time as a habitat for invertebrates. The analyses and surveys conducted clearly demonstrate that abandoned casemates with enhanced fortification as units of military fortification complex of the Czech borderlands landscape perform several hidden important functions in the landscape for which they cannot be viewed as brownfields. This hidden functional potential is most likely best described by the concept of hidden singularity, which offers itself for integration into basic approaches to brownfields.

Abstract:
Based on the results of scientific expeditions and field surveys, the article examines the problems of construction dating, functioning efficiency, localization and identification of structures and fortifications, the planning and spatial structure of the Stratyn city fortifications. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that, apart from the reports of four scientific expeditions, no full-fledged scientific article was devoted to Stratyn's city fortifications. The study, based on the analysis of historical sources and the military-political situation, puts forward an assumption about the period of construction of city fortifications and their role in the Polish-Turkish wars of the 1670s. Based on the analysis of cartographic sources and field surveys, an analysis of the planning structure was carried out, the location was determined and fortification structures and fortifications were identified. On the basis of the analysis of the fortification and technological features of the preserved fragments of ramparts, ditches and sites of buildings, it was concluded that the Stratyn city fortifications belong to the bastion defense system common in the western Ukrainian lands.

Abstract:
The study of the evolution of the development of defensive European forts as a monument of military architecture is relevant nowadays. Wars caused the construction of fortifications to protect the territories of cities. The evolution of medieval fortresses was accompanied by technical progress in construction tools and techniques and the technical skills of military engineers. Fortification complexes in Europe over the centuries, with the development of firearms, were modernized and improved in accordance with the requirements of the time. The reason for the evolution of fortifications was the introduction of new methods, tactics and military strategies. In the process of research, the principles of defense art, fortification technologies in the development of the construction of European forts were studied. Experimenting with new fortification systems, military engineers and architects created defensive complexes that impress with the wisdom of construction, aesthetic and landscape sensitivity. The article traces the evolution of the development of defensive forts in Europe during the 15th - 19th centuries, which characterize the cultural landscape and form the cultural defense heritage.

Abstract:
Au début du XVI e siècle, une nouvelle manière de fortifier est inventée en Italie, afin de protéger les villes de la puissance des canons. Le protestant lorrain Jean Errard (1554-1610), formé à cette manière italienne, devient le principal ingénieur militaire d’Henri IV, qui le charge de rédiger un ouvrage de synthèse sur ce sujet. Errard a déjà publié une Géométrie pratique, ainsi qu’une édition des Éléments d’Euclide, et son intervention en 1594 dans la controverse sur la quadrature du cercle proposée Scaliger met en lumière sa qualité de mathématicien reconnu par ses pairs. Sa Fortification reduicte en art et demonstrée, qui paraît en 1600, est le premier ouvrage français qui présente l’architecture militaire bastionnée en établissant ses principes sur une analyse des forces en présence et en s’appuyant sur la géométrie euclidienne pour justifier l’adéquation des tracés aux contraintes. Nous présentons le contexte de la formation d’Errard dans la seconde moitié du XVI e siècle, et nous décrivons son parcours d’ingénieur militaire et d’auteur d’ouvrages, en nous efforçant de préciser sa biographie. Notre analyse de sa Fortification met en évidence une méthode que nous qualifions de fortification géométrique. Nous cherchons ensuite à estimer la réception de l’ouvrage dans le milieu des ingénieurs et dans l’enseignement en France, d’une part par les maîtres privés, et d’autre part, par les professeurs des collèges jésuites. Nous dressons un état des écrits de la première moitié du XVII e siècle, pour montrer comment s'édifie, à partir de l’œuvre d'Errard, ce que nous pouvons nommer une école française de fortification<br>In the beginning of the 17th century, Italians engineers created a new manner of fortifying cities in order to make them able to resist the power of guns. Jean Errard (1554-1610), a protestant from Lorraine, was trained in this new manner, and he became the principal engineer of French King Henri IV, who commissioned him to write a book on that subject. Errard had already published a Practical Geometry and an edition of Euclid’s Elements. His involvement in the controversy about Scaliger’s quadrature of the circle sheds light on his high abilities in mathematics, as recognized by his peers. His Fortification reduicte en art et demonstrée ("Fortification reduced into art and demonstrated") published in 1600, is the first French book which explains the principles of military architecture by analyzing the forces involved and using Euclidean geometry to justify the reliability of the fortresses, according to the constraints. We study the context of the second half of the 16th century, when Errard was trained. We describe his career as a military engineer and as a writer, trying to clarify several points of his biography. Our analysis of his book on fortification reveals a special method that we call geometric fortification. We trace the reception of this geometric fortification amongst the engineers as well as the teachers in France. We consider both cases of private teachers and Jesuit colleges professors. We finally paint a picture of the writings in the first half of the 17th century, in order to show how what we call a French School of Fortification was edified upon Errard’s works

Omega-3 Fortification of Marinara Sauce Hannah Collie, Mary Andreae, MS, RD, LDN, W. Andrew Clark, PhD, RD, LDN, Department of Rehabilitative Science, College of Clinical and Rehabilitative Health East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee In westernized culture, there is a deficit of healthy fats in the average person’s diet. This is evidenced by many different conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic inflammatory issues. The “Mediterranean Diet” has been shown as an ideal way to combat these health issues.The diet promotes fish as a protein source and a way to consume essential polyunsaturated fatty acids. Due to location and trends, fish is less often a main component of the western diet.This study investigated ways to fortify a more commonly consumed food in western culture, marinara sauce, with flaxseed oil, walnut oil, and anchovies. These fortified marinara sauces were compared to a commercial sauce, Paul Newman’s Marinara for nutritional content. We hypothesize that adding omega-3 rich ingredients to a base marinara sauce recipe will significantly vary the fatty acid profile and increase the amount of omega-3 fatty acids as well as decrease the omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio. Sauces were prepared and analyzed for nutrient content using proximate analysis methods. Preparation included cooking and freeze drying the variants. Nutrient content tests performed included: bomb calorimetry, Kjeldahl protein analysis, Soxhlet fat analysis, ash inorganic analysis, FRAP Assay for antioxidant content, and gas chromatography to characterize fatty acid composition. Each variant sauce had a fatty acid profile that was unique. Two of the three variants showed a better omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio than the (control) Paul Newman’s sauce. Samples with the highest to lowest omega-6 to omega-3 ratio were respectively, flaxseed oil, Paul Newman’s commercial sauce, walnut oil, and anchovy. From gas chromatography, omega three fatty acid composition as a percentage of total fatty acids were approximately in the flaxseed oil variant, 21% in the Paul Newman’s sauce, 30% in the walnut oil variant, and 81% in the anchovy variant. Two of three variant sauces, walnut and anchovy, when compared to the commercial Paul Newman's sauce, showed more favorable omega-3 fatty acid content and lower omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratios. Unexpectedly, the flaxseed oil variant had less omega three fatty acids and a higher omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio than the commercial sauce. In conclusion, simple additions of omega-3 ingredients to marinara sauce can decrease the omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio in the diet.

Abstract:
This thesis is an examination of the tenure and charitable donations of a number of interconnected noble families in post-Conquest Yorkshire. It begins with an introduction to the region; a social and political area of midland and northern England as opposed to a 'county' limited by set boundaries. The types of evidence are explained, charters, chartularies and surviving buildings, before moving on to the historical background. The first chapter examines the feudal divisions of Yorkshire, the evolution of honours and the extent to which Saxon divisions affected later boundaries. The chief places or 'capita' are discussed and presented as a fusion of urban, religious and seigneurial elements. Attention is paid to features of earlier landscapes, such as iron-age hillforts, that were re-used in this period. A major part of the thesis is the role of the castle both as one element of local government and as an expression of artistic patronage, social connections and status. The functions of both fortified and non-fortified seigneurial residences are explored. The links between castle and church encompass three chapters concentrating upon a shared artistic and architectural heritage, the role of the chapel within the castle household, the relationship of castle and church at village level and the importance of noble patronage to the development and power of monasticism. The study concludes with an outline of the various mechanisms that bound the nobility of Yorkshire together and suggests that they controlled their estates through a system of mutual co-operation and strategic patronage. The castle was a major part of this system, but, it is argued, it could not function in isolation and therefore the modern definition of a 'castle' as a fortified residence is misleading. A reinterpretation of the term 'castle' is offered as a final thought.

Abstract:
Novel iron (Fe) cross-linked alginate (FCA) beads were used for aqueous phosphate removal. Batch experiments were conducted with the beads using three different concentrations of phosphate (5, 50 and 100 mg PO43--P/L) as well as environmentally relevant (eutrophic lakes) concentration of 100 ?g PO43--P/L. About 80-97% phosphate was removed within 3 h. for lower concentrations of phosphate. The maximum phosphate sorption capacity was found to be 78.7 mg PO43--P/g of beads. Phosphate removal was not affected because of the presence of Cl-, HCO3-, SO42-, NO3- and natural organic matter (NOM). FCA beads were also used with actual lake waters (11-69 ?g PO43--P/L) and 81-100% phosphate removal was observed in 24 h. The FCA beads having a point of zero charge (PZC) of 9.2 make it an ideal candidate for phosphate removal in eutrophic lakes. Phosphate-laden spent iron cross-linked alginate (FCA) beads were used in hydroponics to evaluate the bioavailability of P and Fe using lettuce (Lactuca sativa) as a test plant. Phosphate-laden spent FCA beads were found to support the plants throughout the growth period. The bioavailability of P and Fe in the spent beads is promising considering the importance of phosphorus and iron in global nutrient security. Experiments were also conducted with lettuce and spinach (Spinacia oleracea) to evaluate the availability of iron from nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI). In both plants, bare NZVI enhanced the uptake of Fe as well as other essential elements. The results indicate that biofortification of spinach and lettuce with Fe is possible. The enhanced uptake of iron and other elements by lettuce and spinach is likely to have implications on global nutrient security. In another experiment, an iron-regulating gene (LsHA2) in lettuce was investigated to gain insights into the strategy taken by plants for acquisition of Fe from a readily unavailable source, e.g., NZVI. The gene of interest was found to be regulated by the presence or absence of available iron in the solution. This research is likely to give us insights into the mechanism of plant nutrient fortification with nanoparticles.<br>National Science Foundation (NSF)<br>USDA-NIFA<br>North Dakota Water Resources Research Institute<br>North Dakota Department of Commerce

Abstract:
The paper presents the results of an experimentation developed within the activities of the PRIN2022 INFORTREAT research project, aimed at the production of digital information systems to collect, translate and transfer the knowledge about construction of bastioned fortifications in Early Modern treatises, in order to create an original knowledge tool in the field of conservation of the fortified heritage. The study primarily focuses on the “La fortificatione guardia difesa et espugnatione delle fortezze” by Francesco Tensini (first edition 1624), since it is recognized as an important milestone in the evolution of fortification models. The treatise is rich with references to other authors. Among them, Tensini frequently recalls one author without explicitly mentioning his name. The analysis of a wide range of treatises from the mid-16th century, carried out for the INFORTREAT research objectives, considering the state of the art on the subject, allows us to state with some confidence that Tensini refers to the “Le Fortificationi..” by Bonaiuto Lorini (first edidtion 1597). This allowed us to set up a comparison between the treatises through critical redrawing and digital modeling of the fortification systems proposed by both authors. To this end, a workflow based on the integration of VPL and BIM is tested.

Abstract:
The Casali Fortezza system. The case study of Castellaccio di MonteroniThe landscape of Lazio’s Tyrrhenian coasts is strongly characterized by the presence of fortifications. Parallel to them, in the interland, the baronial expansion, between the tenth and eleventh centuries, paved the way to a large-scale fortification of the Roman countryside. Along the main routes were built lookout towers, farmhouses were consolidated with defense mechanism and the first castles were constructed. The research focuses on the study of Castellaccio di Monteroni in Ladispoli, built in the fifteenth century on Roman structures and on previous constructions dating back to the period of the Baronial expansion. The Castellaccio di Monteroni is one of the few remaining examples of Casale Fortificato (Fortified Manor). It is placed on the 35th kilometer of the Via Aurelia and takes its name Castellaccio from the abandonment over the centuries and Monteroni due to the heaps of the nearby Etruscan necropolis. The main function carried out over the centuries was a resting place, a sure point of reference for couriers, travelers and pilgrims traveling along the Via Aurelia. When in the nineteenth the route of the Via Aurelia was moved to the present one the fortification fell into abandonment. The analysis of this architecture is of great interest, not only for the knowledge of the geometry of the fortifications of the Roman countryside, but also because it is one of the few remaining examples of Casale Fortificato, representing a rare medieval architectural heritage.

Abstract:
Old Navarino fortification (Palaiokastro) is located on the promontory supervising the naturally endowed Navarino-bay at the south-western foot of Peloponnese peninsula, near the contemporary city of Pylos. The cliff where it is built and where ancient relics lie, was fortified by Frankish in the thirteenth century. The fortification though knows significant alterations firstly by Serenissima Republic of Venice from the fifteenth century that aims to dominate the naval routes of Eastern Mediterranean by establishing a system of coastal fortifications and later by the Ottomans after the conquest of Venice’s possessions at Messenia in 1500. Between fifteenth and seventeenth century, apart from important modifications at the initial enceinte of the northern Upper City, the most notable transformation of Old Navarino is the construction of the new Lower fortification area at the south and the southern outwork ending up to the coastline. Especially the Lower fortification is a sample of multiple and large-scale successive alterations for the adjustment to technological advances of artillery (fortification walls reinforcement, modification of tower-bastions, early casemates, gate complex enforcements). The current essay focuses on the study of these specific elements of the early artillery period and the examination of Old Navarino’s strategic role at the time of transition before the adaptation of “bastion-front” fortification patterns, such as those experimented in the design of the fortified city of New Navarino, constructed at the opposite side of the Navarino gulf by the Ottomans (1573).

Abstract:
The preservation of Split, as well as of successful trading that took place through the Lazaret, encouraged Venice to hastily approach the modernization of the city's fortifications at the beginning of the War of Candia. A disadvantage of fortifying the city due to its spatial position was pronounced. There were various analyses and proposals, followed by a period of about twenty years, in which several solutions and interventions were implemented for the extension, demolition and construction of various fortification elements. Each of the three elements that defended the city: the fortification around the historic core itself and two separate positions – Cape Bačvice and the heights of Gripe - went through several stages of fortification.One of the reasons for such a variety of works was Venice's attempt to improve the state of the city's defence as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, the military engineers that Venice sent to analyse the state of Split's defence and propose improvement interventions, or supervise the work, were among the best experts of their time, from Antoine de Ville to Filippo Besseti Verneda. Most of the engaged military engineers had their own ideas about which solution would be the most appropriate one, often criticizing what their predecessors proposed or what was done according to those proposals.This paper presents an overview of the most significant analyses or designs by the most prominent military engineers who worked on the key stages of the fortification of Split in the Baroque era, accompanied by a brief critical review of each performed part. Geometrical analyses as such can be applied as a methodological tool for the study of fortifications.

Abstract:
The contribution, part of the research project PRIN2022 INFORTREAT, proposes an updated critical reading of Les Fortifications du Chevalier Antoine de Ville, 1628, specifically of the Livre Premier–Partie I (regular fortifications). The author, A. de Ville (ca. 1596-1656), enjoyed a successful career as a military engineer, sharing the ‘stage’ with the more famous B. F. Pagan (1604-65), and succeeding the first generation of French military architecture treatise writers. De Ville proposed a personal methodology for tracing regular fortifications. His design was based on a fixed dimension of the base side of the polygon, 180 or 150 geometric paces. However, what places de Ville among the innovators of fortification practice are the procedures for the ‘supputation’ (calculation) of the bastioned front, summarised in a table.

Впервые проведены спасательные археологические работы на фортификационных сооружениях Васильково‑1–3, которые являются остатками типовых пехотных укрытий и казематированного комбинированного укрытия для артиллерийского расчета, совмещенного с пороховым погребом конца XIX – начала XX в., а также фортификационного сооружения Васильково‑2 – оборонительного рва между фортами. Полученные данные позволили установить плановую схему фортификационных сооружений, уточнить их размеры, выяснить технические детали, не отраженные в письменных и иконографических источниках. This was the first time rescue archaeological work was carried out at the Vasil’kovo 1–3 fortifications, which are the remains of typical infantry shelters and casemates built for the combined protection of artillery placements, combined with a gunpowder cellar of the late 19th and early 20th century. The Vasil’kovo-2 facility also functioned as a fortification point for bolstering the defences between two other forts. The information obtained during this study enables researchers to establish the planned layout of the fortification positions, clarify their sizes, and establish technical facility details which are not otherwise confirmed in written or iconographical sources.

Pilot implementation of USI FORTIMAS Methodology for Assessment and Tracking Effective Coverage of the National Salt lodization Program and iodine status of pregnant women in the Republic of Armenia.

Abstract:
To enable public and private sector stakeholders of the national salt iodization program in Armenia to be able to confirm high population coverage of well iodized salt and the associated adequate iodine status of the population systematically and at a substantially lower cost than typical population-based representative surveys, the IGN supported the “pilot” implementation of the FORTIMAS (Fortification Monitoring and Surveillance) methodology, adapted to tracking “effective coverage” of iodized salt, in Armenia. Primary analysis of non-probabilistic data showed high (92%) household coverage of adequately iodized salt and optimum (175.3 µg/L) median urinary iodine concentration among 1st trimester pregnant women, across purposively selected sentinel sites. Secondary analysis of data on production, imports and distribution of iodized salt indicated consistently high expected and assessed population coverage of iodized salt during the past decade. The prevalence of neonatal TSH levels above 5 mUI/L (an indicator of iodine status among pregnant women) over past 12 years was less than 3% with a general trend of decreasing from 2.35% in 2017 to 1.39% in 2023. The cost of implementation of the FORTIMAS approach as an initial round of “annual” iodized salt program monitoring and surveillance in Armenia, was only a fraction of that of a typical nationally representative salt iodization/population iodine status survey. Furthermore, because the overall framework of a potential “Armenia FORTIMAS System” has been developed under this project, it may be estimated that about 10 annual rounds of salt iodization program monitoring and surveillance may be carried out in Armenia int the future, at about the same cost as one nationally representative salt iodization program survey.

Abstract:
The urban development of a city is often closely linked to its fortifications. Comprehensive research, undertaken by a multidisciplinary team from the University of Vienna between 1974 and 2001 in the Lower town of Velia, studied the evolution of the city walls in relation to the urban development of the Phocaean polis on the Tyrrhenian coast and provided new information on the development of the city mainly between the 5th and the 2nd c. BC. The study focused on the architecture of the fortifications as well as on a detailed analysis of the complex stratigraphy and the geology. A major force for the dynamics of urban evolution was ecological factors, mainly due to the instability of the slopes on which the city was built, and due to recurring, destructive sea floods.The contextualization and processing of the finds from these excavations (pottery, small finds and coins) allows for a new, precise dating of the individual periods of the urban development, ultimately changing older approaches. The newly understood relations have implications for the interpretation of the fortifications in other historical and cultural settings, as previously assumed.
