Full text

Abstract:

The first chapter discusses why the topic and general approach of thesis was chosen. It outlines some of the problems involved in the study of the different resources as expressed in the archaeological record, addressing each resource individually. Finally, a model for the analysis of resource management is introduced. The Heit el-Ghurab settlement and various other settlement sites on the Giza Plateau are discussed. Each site is examined individually according to its project history, general features and activities concerning resource procurement and management, followed by a brief discussion. An overall discussion of the Giza sites concludes this chapter. The next three chapters discuss the settlements of Kom el-Hisn, Elephantine and Ayn Asil according to the outline developed for the chapter on the Giza Plateau. The final chapter summarises the various forms of resource procurement and management for the individual resources, before turning to discuss the economic character of the settlements studied and their interconnection. Finally, there follows a short discussion of the nature of the Old Kingdom economy on the basis of the results of the previous chapters, including a brief examination of earlier studies of the ancient Egyptian economic system

Full text

Abstract:

A corpus of 217 wooden statues dating from the Egyptian Old Kingdom is examined and discussed in detail. 127 statues have been dated to individual reigns within the Old Kingdom and are placed in chronological order (Catalogue A). They form the basis of a chronological feature list. Using the dating criteria from the feature list, and by drawing parallels with Catalogue A, a further 75 statues (Catalogue B) have been assigned to individual reigns within the Old Kingdom. New features from Catalogue B are then added to the chronological feature list. Catalogue C comprises statues which have no parallels in Catalogue A , but do sometimes have a parallel in Catalogue B, and which in the absence so far of evidence to the contrary, may be assigned to the Old Kingdom. Appendix I discusses the texts inscribed on 51 of the statues. These consist of the names and titles of the tomb owner. The texts are usually inscribed on the bases, but in two instances they are on the skirt, and once on the sceptre. The titles are examined in detail to see whether their date range is consistent with the dates suggested in the text. Unfortunately the inscriptions give no further dating assistance. The phrase im3hw hr is examined in detail and it emerges that its use changed over time. Appendix 2 is a discussion of the material of the statues, as far as this is known. Only 8 statues have been scientifically analysed, a further 4 have been identified visually, and another 2 have unconfirmed analyses. From this meagre information it emerges that indigenous woods were preferred to imported woods. The most popular indiginous woods are sycamore and acacia. Appendix 3 is a table of the dating features based on Catalogue A which, when applied to statues not in the corpus, can assist in assigning a date to them.

Full text

Abstract:

This study aims to determine whether current work on burial practices In early Egypt accurately reflects the evidence uncovered at Egyptian cemeteries since the 1890s. Two methods are employed: firstly an analysis of the written findings on a series of representative 'sample' sites across Egypt, and the evidence for burial practices within them; and secondly an indepth analysis of one region (Badari) which contains burials spanning the entire period, in which each individual grave is examined. The first method allows a comparative study of sites across the country, whilst the second allows a statistical approach to be used in the hope of ascertaining the frequency of particular funerary features (such as the position of the body, the treatment of the body, multiple and single burials, and the use of particular funerary objects).

Abstract:

The aim of this study was the evaluation of agricultural total factor productivity changes between new member countries which have acceded to EU after 2004 and so-called ‘old 15’ EU members. The analysis covered the years 2007–2013. The study is based on Malmquist productivity index divided into technological change and changes in technical efficiency. The results showed a slight increase in the agricultural total factor productivity in the EU countries in the years 2007–2013 (0.1 %, which mainly resulted from a slight increase in technical efficiency in agriculture(0.4 % ), while at the same time adverse technological changes. Among all the countries of the ‘old 15’, only Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland, United Kingdom and Sweden reported increased index of productivity. In the group of countries that joined the EU after 2004, the total productivity growth took place in such countries as Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Malta, Slovakia and Hungary. The reason for this increase was primarily changes in technical efficiency.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the capital of the United Kingdom. The description is based on a comparison of information about London in the past and modern London. It helps you to see the history of the capital of the United Kingdom in dynamics, assess the scale of changes and understand the reason for these changes. Modern London plays a significant role in the political, economic and cultural life of the country. Geographically the city, which is now a metropolis, is located on the River Thames in the south-eastern part of the island of Great Britain. All the famous parts of the city – the City, the West End, the East End, Westminster are quite old and historically significant and interesting. The authors trace the history of the city since its foundation, separately considering the informative names of London streets, its historical parts – the Town, many boroughs, the Tower and Hamlet.

Abstract:

Nirex is the organisation responsible for long-term radioactive waste management in the UK. Our Mission is to provide the UK with safe, environmentally sound and publicly acceptable options for the long-term management of radioactive materials. The United Kingdom has a significant legacy of long-lived intermediate level radioactive waste. This has arisen from 50 years of investigation and exploitation of nuclear technology. Some of the waste is stored in old facilities that do not provide the standards of containment that would be incorporated in modern facilities. Also the risk to people and to the environment from the inventory in these facilities will increase with time as the structures age and degrade, increasing the chance of containment failure. There is, therefore, a need to retrieve this raw waste and process and package it to make it demonstrably safe for continued storage, pending a decision on disposal of radioactive waste. This packaging should, as far as is practicable, be compatible with the UK long-term waste management strategy. Nirex has developed its Phased Disposal Concept for intermediate and low-level radioactive waste. Based on that concept, Nirex has developed waste package specifications and carries out assessments of waste packaging proposals. For legacy wastes it may not always practicable to demonstrate full compliance with all Nirex disposal criteria. This paper describes an approach, agreed between Nirex and BNFL, for managing these wastes. The proposed approach takes account of long-term waste management issues whilst recognising the need for timely improvement of storage conditions.

The castle of Mula (1520-2020). History of the construction of a Renaissance fortressFive hundred years after the construction of the castle of Mula, which was ordered to build the I Marqués de los Vélez, Pedro Fajardo Chacón, as a result of his expulsion from the town during the communal uprisings of the kingdom of Murcia. The fortress, a work of masonry, built on the old Andalusian citadel, has a novel construction in the southeast of the peninsular from the point of view of the multi-aesthetic. The conservation of documentation related to its construction between 1520 and 1531, allows us to approach the work of the stonecutters and master gunners.

Abstract:

Context: Most patients with COVID-19 have mild respiratory disease, however, neurological manifestations have also been associated. Case report: Female, 21 years old, 24 weeks pregnant, admitted with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, by COVID-19. Evolved with respiratory failure. On the 14th day of hospitalization, fetal death occurred. After clinical stabilization, she started neurological symptoms, with altered state of consciousness, delusions, tremor in extremities, paresis in right dimidium and paresthesia in extremities. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging showed numerous old micro- hemorrhagic foci, complemented with angio resonance and inflammatory activity evaluation, with embolic event and vasculitis ruled out. Electroneuromyography showed multiple mononeuritis. She recovered gradually, maintaining the tremor in extremities. Conclusions: Neurological manifestations can occur both by viral cytopathic action and by systemic complications resulting from immunomediated phenomena. In a study carried out in the United Kingdom, by Varatharaj et al, with 125 patients with COVID-19 and neuropsychiatric disorders, the most observed conditions were cerebrovascular event (62%), altered mental status (31%), both present in the case and, in addition, encephalopathy (23%) and encephalitis (18%). The neurological manifestations observed in COVID-19 can affect both the central and the peripheral nervous system. This patient has multiple mononeuropathy, characterized by the involvement of two or more peripheral nerve trunks, with motor and sensory manifestations.

Full text

Abstract:

Nuvia Limited was contracted to design, build and operate a waste treatment plant to stabilise a quantity of about 300m3 of active sludge stored in the External Active Storage Tanks (EAST) at the former United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) research site at Winfrith, UK. At the end of this process both the old and new plants are to be decommissioned and demolished with the minimisation of waste material volumes. The sludge was produced in the Steam Generating Heavy Water Reactor (SGHWR), which is now in the early stages of decommissioning. As part of the reorganisation of UKAEA, responsibility for the site now lies with RSRL (Research Sites Restoration Limited) with funding provided by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). The process of stabilization of the SGHWR sludge from the EAST tanks within 500 litre stainless steel drums in the newly constructed Winfrith EAST Treatment Plant (WETP) was completed in March 2010. The plant will now enter a full decommissioning phase since no further work on any other waste materials has been identified by the client. This paper describes the development of a decommissioning plan for the mixture of old and new structures such that this next process can be undertaken without delay. This involved the completion of a decommissioning safety case together with supporting documents to demonstrate best practice and close attention to ALARP issues. The potential techniques for decommissioning are discussed leading to the final processes selected for this project. The challenges to be overcome, particularly with the older plant items where local contamination of their structures is suspected, are also identified and addressed. A process of recovery of concrete core samples for radiochemical analysis and their outcomes will be included. In contrast, the means by which the newer WETP facility was shown to be capable of unrestricted demolition as a result of the care taken during the design and construction phase will also be explained in the context of the practicalities, minimisation of the costs and timescale of such operations. Finally, issues concerning the minimisation of waste volumes, particularly where tritium contamination is present, are addressed within a UK-based disposal environment. The link between these outcomes and the planning and execution of the various structure surveillance tests will also be described and potential waste volumes identified. These considerations may be of interest to other groups undertaking similar projects on mixtures of older and more recent plants in varying states of contamination.

Abstract:

The royal name borne by the third and fifth king of the VI dynasty is either read (a) Ppy (Ppjj) or (b) Pjpj. Even though the earlier option appears to represent better the actual hieroglyphic writing, the latter fits it no less, and there are parallels for either reading among hypocoristic names of the Old Kingdom with Ppy (Ppjj) belonging to a more common type than Pjpj. However, based on an analysis of hypocoristic names and the king list tradition down to Manetho, this royal name can be identified as a special kind of reduplicated hypocoristic name with a distinct stress pattern, which is characteristic for the Old Kingdom: Pjpj ~ *Păyắpăyă.

Abstract:

Despite progress in COVID-19 vaccination rates overall in Ealing, vaccine inequity persists as young people from minority communities are often less likely to be vaccinated. COVID-19 ‘vaccine hesitancy’ is not just an issue of misinformation or lack of information. ‘Vaccine hesitancy’ among young people is reflective of wider issues such as mistrust in the state or the medical establishment and negative experiences during the pandemic. This report is based on case study research conducted among minority youth (from ages 12-19) in the London borough of Ealing. While public discourse may label young people as “vaccine hesitant,” we found that there were differences based on social location and place. We found the greatest vaccine refusal among older youth (15+ years old), which in the context of this study were from minoritised communities who have experienced deprivation across the life course. Unvaccinated youth were also more likely to be from families and friend groups that were unvaccinated. While some expressed distrust of the vaccines, others reported that COVID-19 prevention was not a priority in their lives, but instead concerns over food security, livelihood, and education take precedence. Minoritised youth were more likely to report negative experiences with authorities, including teachers at their schools and police in their communities. Our findings demonstrate that COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is embedded in a context that drives relationships of mistrust between minority communities and authorities, with implications for COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Young people’s attitudes toward vaccines are further patterned by experiences within their community, school, family, and friend groups.

Abstract:

The names of the kings of the Fifth Dynasty may serve as a prototypical example for the re-evaluation of Manetho’s king-list: Userkaf, Sahure, Neferirkare, Shepseskare, Reneferef, Nirewoser, Djedkare-Isesi and Unas are all recorded in the king-list of Manetho as transmitted by Sextus Julius Africanus according to the Ecloga chronographiae of George Syncellus. Although the names as preserved have obviously suffered on a long way of copying manuscripts over and over again, a closer look at the Greek transcriptions reveals the high quality and the still unbroken relevance of Manetho’s Aegyptiaca for modern Egyptological scholarship, when dealing with chronology, onomastics and linguistics. As will be shown, there is a line, identifiable with variable degrees of difficultly but finally clearly discernible, which leads all the way down from the Old Kingdom to Manetho’s Aegyptiaca.

Abstract:

Despite progress in COVID-19 vaccination rates overall in the US and UK, vaccine inequity persists as young people from minoritised and/or deprived communities are often less likely to be vaccinated. COVID-19 ‘vaccine hesitancy’ is not just an issue of misinformation or lack of information. ‘Vaccine hesitancy’ among young people is reflective of wider issues such as mistrust in the state or the medical establishment and negative experiences during the pandemic. This report is based on case study research conducted among young people (ages 12-18) in Cleveland, Ohio, US and the London borough of Ealing, UK. Whilst public discourse may label young people as ‘vaccine hesitant,’ we found that there were differences based on social location and place and this labelling may portray young people as ‘ignorant.’ We found the greatest vaccine hesitancy among older youth (15+ years old), particularly those from minoritised and deprived communities. Unvaccinated youth were also more likely to be from families and friend groups that were unvaccinated. While some expressed distrust of the vaccines, others reported that COVID-19 prevention was not a priority in their lives, but instead concerns over food security, livelihood, and education take precedence. Minoritised youth were more likely to report negative experiences with authorities, including teachers at their schools and police in their communities. Our findings demonstrate that COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is embedded in a context that drives relationships of mistrust between minoritised and deprived communities and the state, with implications for COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Young people’s attitudes toward vaccines are further patterned by experiences within their community, school, family, and friend groups.

Abstract:

The Knowledge, Evidence and Learning for Development (K4D) Programme, which started in 2016, came to an end in September 2022. This K4D working paper reflects on the learning processes and approaches facilitated by this programme, through ‘learning journeys’ conducted in collaboration with staff of the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) in the United Kingdom. A total of 45 learning journeys took place, of which 33 have been assessed for this working paper. Through this assessment, we test our proposed Theory of Change for organisational learning (OL) in the context of international development agencies.

Estimating financial cost to individuals with a food hypersensitivity. Food Standards Agency, December 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.46756/sci.fsa.buq453.

Abstract:

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is a non-ministerial government department within the United Kingdom responsible for protecting public health and protecting consumer interests in relation to food in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Food Hypersensitivities (FHS) is a key priority within the FSA as it is an important food-related health issue with a severe and enduring impact for people living with it. FHS includes individuals living with a food allergy, coeliac disease and food intolerance. It is the responsibility of the FSA to seek ways to understand and reduce avoidable deaths, the negative impact of FHS on both consumers and businesses, and make sure that FHS consumers have access to safe food that is what it says it is on the label, which they can trust. For people with chronic and / or potentially life-threatening FHS, that trust becomes even more important. FHS places both a public health and financial burden on society. According to the FSA’s Food and You 2 Wave 3 Survey(footnote 1), an estimated 800,000 people are living with a clinically diagnosed food allergy, 300,000 with coeliac disease and 1.2 million living with food intolerance and other FHS conditions in the UK. The FSA has invested in a programme of research to understand the economic and societal burden of FHS and to explore how people living with FHS are impacted in their daily lives. The FSA commissioned RSM UK Consulting (RSM), Dr Audrey DunnGalvin from University College Cork and Alizon Draper from the University of Westminster to quantify and monetise the financial burden imposed on people living with FHS through their day-to-day management of the physical risks associated with food allergies, food intolerance and coeliac disease. This is the first study of its kind to consider whether residents in England, Northern Ireland, and Wales who live with any type of FHS condition (food intolerance, coeliac disease or food allergy) results in additional financial burden for their household. About this study The aim of the study was to quantify and monetise the financial burden imposed on households with FHS through the day-to-day management of the physical risks associated with food allergies, food intolerance and coeliac disease, by: comparing the price paid for food between households with at least one adult above 18 years old living with FHS, to households without FHS valuing the direct costs incurred through efforts to manage FHS and remain symptom free (for example, medical and kitchen supplies) monetising indirect costs incurred when having to deal with an FHS condition (for example, lost working days) This study is unique in terms of estimating price differentials for food consumption across different types of FHS and then comparing to a non-FHS comparison group. Previous studies have focused on coeliac disease, specifically the comparison between gluten-free and gluten-containing products, so this study is adding new knowledge to the evidence base.
