Improving signal strength of tree rings for paleoclimate reconstruction by micro-hyperspectral imaging

ABSTRACT In dendroclimatology, tree ring chronology is ordinarily established to reveal the fluctuation law of climate change on the interannual, interdecadal, and centennial scales. However, since traditional dendrochronology can only use one variable (tree ring width) to reflect environmentally related information, this causes the richer information recorded in the tree rings to be discarded. In this study, we examined the potential of hyperspectral chronological indices (shortened as “hyperspectral index/indices”) with samples collected in Shennongjia woodland in central China. The correlation analysis of the tree ring series on different samples indicated that hyperspectral indices outperform the traditional width index in chronology statistics including Signal-to-noise Ratio (SNR) and Expressed Population Signal (EPS). The reliability test shows that hyperspectral chronologies have more periods reaching the threshold of EPS or Subsample Signal Strength (SSS) > 0.85, which means that hyperspectral chronologies provide more reliable periods for accurate climate reconstruction. Based on this, chronologies built by the three dendroclimatic indices were used to reconstruct the average temperature changes in Shennongjia over the last 103 years. The reconstruction results indicate that in our study area, the traditional width index model failed the split-sample calibration test and exhibited a low reconstruction accuracy, while the hyperspectral index model has a higher explained variance of 46.4% (p < 0.01), compared to the width index (21.4%) and the grayscale index (38.3%). Our research results show that hyperspectral indices have greater potential for climate reconstruction in regions with lower susceptibility to climate stress. This is attributed to their ability to effectively extract subtle climate signals from the spectral variations on the surface of tree rings. Such ring spectral changes may be caused by complex and currently unknown responses of the trees to the climate.

Комплексы с бусами группы Алексеева-480-482,490,492 / Т-М-362 в Центральной Европе и их датирующие возможности

The article examines complexes with finds of glass beads with rosette ornament (Alekseeva-480-482,490,492 / T-M-362) in Central Europe. Thanks to these parallels, a chronology is established that makes it possible to clarify the dating of their existence in Eastern Europe, and the potential for using them as independent chronological indexes. The considered complexes contain a fairly constant, repetitive set of inventory: fibulas A-162, 167, 168, 211, bucket-shaped pendants, buckles ML-D-17/29, beads T-M-198/213, 266/267, 294/297, 322, 360-361, amber eight-shaped pendants. The finds clearly distinguish two groups with a slightly different chronology: on the Baltic area, the graves can be dated a little earlier – B2-C1a-C1b, on the territory of Poland – C1b-C2a-C2b, with a single case of delay to C3/D. The main cultural circle of existence is the Wielbark archaeological culture, from which the Masłomęcz-Grupp stands out, demonstrating pronounced southern ties with the Chernyakhov archaeological culture and the Sarmatians of the Limes. It is curious that in the Chernyakhov culture itself, finds of beads with rosette ornament are rare, and among the Sarmatians (and related groups): they are numerous on the Limes, but the further east (Crimea, Don-Volga steppes), they are less frequent. In Sarmatian monuments, beads are found with equipment that fit into the dates of the 2nd half. II – 1st half. III cent. AD.

The long 7th century BCE at Tel Shiqmona (Israel): a high resolution chronological tool for the Levant and the Mediterranean

The 7th century in the southern Levant is characterized by Assyrian rule and subsequent Egyptian domination. Despite the relatively violent nature of this century, and abundant historical documentation, occupations both in the southern Levant and Lebanon are dated with low resolution. This deficiency was mainly created by a lack of destruction layers within this century, resulting in a dearth of chronological anchors for ceramic developments. At Tel Shiqmona, a unique purple-production centre that had been frequently destroyed, an unparalleled sequence of five layers of late Iron Age destructions/abandonments has been preserved, spanning a little over 100 years. These enable the definition of detailed typological developments of Phoenician transport jars. Being a widely distributed commercial vessel, exhibiting frequent typological changes and originating from a limited number of workshops, these jars constitute the best chronological index yet for the late Iron Age Levant. This paper presents the Tel Shiqmona sequence, outlines the typological development of the jars and explains their chronological designations. The benefits of defining archaeological sub-divisions within the 7th century BCE are highlighted by two examples: the chronology of Tyre; and settlement/geopolitical dynamics in the Assyrian province of Megiddo. It is argued that this chronological tool can be applied broadly around the Mediterranean.

Growth response to climatic factors and drought events in Quercus variabilis trees of different diameter classes at south aspect of Taihang Mountains, China

To explore the effects of diameter class on the climate-growth relationship of trees, the width chronologies of ringwood, earlywood, and latewood of Quercus variabilis were established in the low altitude area of the south aspect of the Taihang Mountains. We estimated the sensitivity of radial growth of two diameter classes of Q. variabilis plantation to climate. The effects of drought events on Q. variabilis plantation was quantified by superimposed time analysis. Under climate change, we aimed to provide reference data for sustainable management of Q. variabilis. Our results showed that the mean sensitivity of ringwood and latewood of large diameter classes were higher than small diameter classes. The mean sensitivities of earlywood of small diameter classes were higher than large diameter classes. The latewood was the most sensitive component of tree-ring. The responses of the standard chronological indices of two diameter classes to climate factors were similar. The growth of ringwood and latewood of small diameter classes were more sensitive to the climatic factors from June to August. The earlywood was more sensitive to the climatic factors before the growing season (from January to February). Furthermore, the earlywood of large diameter classes was more sensitive to the climatic factors of the last year, with a stronger hysteresis effect. It suggested that Q. variabilis was sensitive to drought. The radial growth of Q. variabilis of ringwood and latewood in drought year was significantly lower than that of last year. The reduction of Q. variabilis with large diameters was higher than that of small diameters, but with higher growth recovery degree after drought.

The opposite poles of a debate - lapides figurati and the Accademia dei Lincei

The essay analyses the research carried out by some members of the Accademia dei Lincei on lapides figurati, namely by Fabio Colonna on animal fossils, and by Federico Cesi and Francesco Stelluti on plant fossils; the aim is to show the role played by the Accademia dei Lincei in establishing during the second half of the seventeenth century the opposite poles of the debate on the lapides figurati, on the one hand as chronological indices of a past world and, on the other, as sudden outcome of the vis vegetativa.

Fluorine Content of Fossil Human Bones Excavated from the SHIRAHO‐SAONETABARU Cave Site, ISHIGAKI Is., Okinawa, Japan, as a Chronological and Sedimentary Environmental Index

The improved fluorine analysis method by ion chromatography was applied to the fossil human bones excavated from the Shiraho‐Saonetabaru Cave site on Ishigaki Island, which were dated back to the Late Pleistocene. This study presents the first systematic results on individual variation of F/P ratios of fossil bones using less than 1 mg samples. In addition to the burial period, the F/P ratio was governed by the local difference in seepage water circulation, because dripping water in a cave slowly flowed through the sediment and fluorine accumulated in the bone from the water. The F/P ratios provide a powerful tool for elucidating the burial situation and subsequent depositional environment. The average F/P ratio was well correlated with the 14C age of the samples. The present method can be practically applicable as a rough chronological classification of the Holocene and Pleistocene groups of human bones at this site. The only exception was the lower F/P values of the Pleistocene human skeleton belonging to Shiraho No. 4, which is thought to have been placed in a narrow space under the fallen rocks.

A new tree-ring-based index for the expression of spatial landslide activity and the assessment of landslide hazards

Dendrogeomorphic methods enable a very accurate reconstruction of spatio-temporal landslide behaviour. Unfortunately, existing approaches of spatial reconstruction suffer from many imperfections (e.g. dependence on tree age or impact of forest management). This study developed, presented, and tested a new approach for the spatial reconstruction of landslide movements based on tree-ring data that eliminates the mentioned problems. The new spatial event-response index (SIt ), developed for GIS, follows the logic of the standard event-response index used for the expression of chronological landslide behaviour and considers the uneven spatial pattern of trees. The main advantage of the new approach is in the consideration of the position of disturbed trees but also of undisturbed ones. This principle prevents over-interpretation of results because it can effectively filter the possible effects of soil creep (nonslide) movements. The approach was tested on three landslides of different types using data from 306 tree-ring series. The results suggest good agreement of the new index with the standard chronological event-response index for all landslide types. This index can be used for hazard assessment of large landslide areas and possibly, if research extended to zones outside of the landslide, even for regional landslide hazard assessment.

History context of russian romance as component to object of the performance interpretation

The purpose of the article is a history argumentation of the natural character of "manifestation" to genre genetic Spanish romance in the European art world and in Russian especially, in the relationship, including, with shaping on the wave of sentimentalism and “Sturm und Drang” style of Biedermeier directions and solo chamber vocal during the one while inheriting traditions of the salon and national song cultures in their actual social-political directivity. The methodology of the work forms intonation approach of the school B. Asafiev in Ukraine, with special separation genre-сstyle cоmparison and hermeneutics foreshortening of the last, as this bequeathing great G.Adler, which directed studies Asafiev, as well as it was perceived and built-in system music history hermeneutics in works Liu Binjang, E.Markova and others. The scientific novelty of the work is determined that for the first time in Ukrainian musicology music history hermeneutics is attracted to an explanation of the romance phenomenon in Russian music and straightening to concepts Russian romance as the independent culture of the expression in performance art and in composer practical person. For the first time in specified foreshortening appear the tumblings from chant to the style of romance and entailment in it practical persons of the spiritual chant, honored Biedermeier and generation to Restorations formed romance preference in compositions and in performance practical person. Conclusions. Russian romance as genre quality was defined beside factors. First, this chronological index - at the period from XVIII to XIX cl., shaping on intersection spiritual lyric poets edging and European-actual "hispanicism," which were historically brought forth with the end XVIII on the first half XIX centuries, saving early operatic performing installation, going from madrigal border of spiritual and worldly in art. Secondly, this typology-expressive quality, formed inside-genre varieties derived in Russian music from glory, solemn edging, and his chamber antipode, having generated lyrical and elegiac romance, named "Russian song", as emblematic factors national accessories of the Russian romance. Also, essential history reason rave acceptance Russia solidarity with Spanish event of the Biedermeier epoch that is determined history distribution of the national religious war in consequence of Napoleon treachery of the Gallic Byzantine church, exceedingly valued not only Russian legal successor "Third Rome", but also honoring of Byzantine tradition in Spain by means of concept "spanidat" that is to say the ecumenical-imperial value of the Spanish culture as heiresses byzantine precept. Finally, obviously riches of the genre subspecies, amongst which stand out lyrical romance, romance-elegy, as well as plural aspectual delimitations, formed in XIX century, but saved its value and for "аnti-romantic" position XX age, which had a deep full tilt in the performance culture to madrigal chant, stored spiritual precepts unvibrato presenting the notes of the uppercase as way contribute objectivity in lyric poet more essential in vocal of the past century. The performer is free in the choice that data will take historically, which can be tangent to his time and his encirclement.

First Dendroclimatological Insight into Austrian Pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) Climate-Growth Relationship in Belgrade Area, Serbia

In order to assess the impact of climate variations on Austrian pine forest in the Belgrade area, the radial growth of artificially-established Austrian pine trees and its dependence on temperature and precipitation was studied using dendroclimatological methods. The site is classified as Quercetum-frainetto cerris Rudski. Standard and residual chronologies were established and several common statistics were calculated. A dendroclimatic study was carried out using the correlation and response function analysis. The Pearson correlation coefficients between the chronology indices and 13 seasonal (3-month period) precipitation and temperature data were calculated for the period from 1959 to 2014. The applied response function analysis included 24 precipitation and temperature variables from October of the prior year to September of the current year. The results of the correlation analysis pointed out that there was a strong tendency towards a positive response to the summer and late summer/early autumn precipitation and a weak significant negative response to the spring and summer temperatures. Climate-growth relationships were further first studied using the response functions for the significant seasons that were detected from the correlation analysis and then for individual months from previous October to current September. These results also highlighted the findings that higher precipitation in the current summer months has a beneficial effect on the tree-ring width. The conducted correlation between the residual chronology and the Standardised Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index indicated that a high summer value of this drought index had a positive impact on the pine growth and reinforced the previously detected relevance of September as an important month for the Austrian pine growth. These preliminary results point out that some additional climate-Austrian pine growth studies (application of various tree-ring features, growth data with a much longer time span, more sites/stands, etc.) should be performed to obtain new and valuable knowledge important for the sustainable management of Austrian pine forests.

МАТЕРИАЛЫ РЕГИОНАЛЬНОГО ВОЕННО-ИСТОРИЧЕСКОГО ЖУРНАЛА «MILITARY КРЫМ» КАК ИСТОЧНИК ДЛЯ ИЗУЧЕНИЯ РАЗЛИЧНЫХ АСПЕКТОВ ПОЛИТИЧЕСКОЙ И ВОЕННОЙ ИСТОРИИ КРЫМА (по материалам, опубликованным в 2005–2019 гг.)

The article analyzes the content of publications of the regional military historical magazine «Military Crimea». Work has been carried out to compile chronological, alphabetical and thematic indexes of all articles published in the period from 2005 to 2019 inclusive. The articles are analyzed by thematic blocks and specialization of the magazine’s authors on certain topics, such as the Crimean war, the Great Patriotic war, the First world war, the Civil war of 1918–1920, etc. Attention is paid to the analysis of sources and literature used by the authors of the journal when writing articles. There are articles whose content introduces new factual data into scientific circulation or gives a new interpretation of previously known events and facts. Special attention is paid to the magazine’s popularizing role in the issues of military-historical reconstruction in the Crimea, as well as significant Museum research work carried out by the editor-in-chief Sergey Viktorovich Chennyk and a number of other authors. At the same time, certain topics are identified, such as the period of antiquity and the middle ages, the military history of which is given insufficient attention on the pages of the publication.

ПИСЬМА ЦАРСТВЕННЫХ ОСОБ К В.А. ЖУКОВСКОМУ И СЕМАНТИКА «СЕМЕЙСТВЕННОЙ МОНАРХИИ»

The article reviews the letters from royal persons to Vasily Zhukovsky. Based on these letters, the character of the epistolary dialogue between the poet and representatives of the Romanov dynasty and of the German dynasties is reconstructed completely for the first time. Zhukovsky was not the only writer who was warmly welcomed at court, but his case was unique. The poet organically joined the context of the new emerging ideology of “family monarchy”, in which a small circle of the imperial family, professing family and domestic values, acted as a prototype of the all-imperial unity of subjects symbolically included in the sphere of paternal relations. Moreover, Zhukovsky was one of the co-creators and translators of this ideology. In addition, Zhukovsky, originally a reader under Empress Maria Feodorovna, entered the circle of royal persons as a poet and remained so until the end of his life. It was his tireless work that designated a new stage in the interaction of power and literature. The system of literary patronage, which determined the sociocultural functioning of the 18thcentury literature, gradually faded into the past and was replaced by a system of literature friendly communities, in which informal groups were the centers of the literary process. The poet transferred these forms of communication to the court, transforming Pavlovsk and the circle of Maria Feodorovna, and then the circle of Alexandra Feodorovna, into a kind of a literary community. “Family monarchy” under the aegis of Zhukovsky acquired a distinct literary and aesthetic dimension. Art here became a necessary part of everyday life, which, on the one hand, set the standard for the royal persons’ thinking and behavior, and, on the other, opened up channels for interaction with friendly communities outside the court. The conceptual framework of “family monarchy” legitimized private and home-centered topics of communication becoming a powerful filter that set etiquette forms that hindered the possibility of discussing many issues, be it business problems or politics. Based on the letters of Grand Duke Alexander Nikolaevich, the article shows how such etiquette communication worked, including how Alexander reacted to Zhukovsky’s political reflections. On the other hand, the letters of the King of Prussia, Frederick William IV, demonstrate strategies for bypassing etiquette communication and going to informal friendly reflection. The appendix to the article is a chronological index of all known letters of the royal persons to Zhukovsky.

Juvenile polyautoimmunity in a rheumatology setting.

Overt polyautoimmunity (PolyA) corresponds to the presence of more than one well-defined autoimmune disease (AD) manifested clinically in a single patient. The current study aimed to describe the main characteristics of juvenile PolyA in a pediatric rheumatology setting and analyze the chronological aspects, index cases, familial autoimmunity, and clustering pattern. This was a cross-sectional and multicenter study in which 313 children with overt PolyA were included. Patients were systematically interviewed and their medical records reviewed using a questionnaire that sought information about demographic, clinical, immunological, and familial characteristics. A hierarchical cluster analysis was done to determine similarities between autoimmune diseases based on PolyA. PolyA occurred simultaneously in 138 (44%) patients. Multiple autoimmune syndrome was observed in 62 (19.8%) patients. There were 25 index diseases of which, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, n = 134, 42.8%), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA, n = 40, 12.7%), Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT, n = 24, 7.66%), immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP n = 20, 6.39%), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS, n = 15, 4.79%), and vitiligo (VIT, n = 15, 4.79%) were the most frequent and represented 79.23% of the total number of patients. Familial autoimmunity influenced PolyA. A high aggregation of autoimmunity was observed (λr = 3.5). Three main clusters were identified, of which SLE and APS were the most similar pair of diseases (based on the Jaccard index) followed by HT and JIA, which were related to ITP and Sjögren's syndrome. The third cluster was composed of localized scleroderma and VIT. Our findings may assist physicians to make an early diagnosis of this frequent condition. Pediatric patients with ADs should be systematically assessed for PolyA.

Luana Giurgevich Henrique de Sousa LeitãoClavis Bibliothecarum: catálogos e inventários de livrarias de instituições religiosas em Portugal até 1834

Portuguese Studies vol. 35 no. 1 (2019), 105–18© Modern Humanities Research Association 2019 Reviews Luana Giurgevich and Henrique de Sousa Leitão, Clavis Bibliothecarum: catálogos e inventários de livrarias de instituições religiosas em Portugal até 1834, Fontes para o Estudo dos Bens Culturais da Igreja, 1 (Moscavide: Secretariado Nacional para os Bens Culturais da Igreja, 2016). 944 pages. Print. Reviewed by Jeremy Roe (Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas — Universidade Nova de Lisboa — Centro de Humanidades) Elaborating on the title of this work, the authors declare it to be ‘uma chave para entrar no mundo imenso das antigas bibliotecas de mosteiros, conventos e instituções religiosas de Portugal’ [a key to enter the vast world of the former libraries of Portuguese monasteries, convents and religious institutions]. It might be still better referred to as an immense bunch of keys to Portugal’s diverse ecclesiastical libraries prior to the suppression of their respective religious institutions in 1834. The bulk of this book is a detailed catalogue of two corpora of archival documents relating to some 400 religious institutions. The first concerns 901 library catalogues and book inventories; the second 348 documents relating to these libraries. All these documents are methodically catalogued according to the diverse religious and military orders, as well as other devotional entities, to which they belonged, and their geographical locations. The meticulous structure of the book as a whole, as well the clarity of the individual entries, ensures its potential to fulfil the authors’ aim to provide ‘um instrumento’ [an instrument] to develop ‘a pesquisa a novas áreas e a horizontes explorados’ [research in new areas and already explored horizons]. As might be expected, the majority of the documents from the first corpus of documents date from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and above all circa 1834. Nonetheless, there are earlier documents to be traced. The lack of a chronological index of the documents catalogued in this book is felt at times, although the uncertain date of a number of the documents might have limited its value. The second corpus of documents contains a higher number of preeighteenth -century documents, such as Frei António de Araújo’s catalogue of the library of the Mosteiro de Alcobaça, which also included a description of its decoration. This was later partially recorded in a drawing included in the 1701 manuscript catalogue Aurea Clavis..., illustrated in this book. A valuable collection of documents is listed for this royal library and illuminates its development and use. However, setting aside my own interests in Baroque cultural history, it must be underscored that this book provides a tool for a range of approaches to the history of libraries and books across the early modern and modern periods, as well as other related facets of ecclesiastical, cultural and Reviews 106 intellectual history. Besides the catalogues of major libraries, such as the Alcobaça collection or Lisbon’s Convent of Nossa Senhora de Jesus, which is today conserved in the Academia das Ciências de Lisboa, this book documents inventories of many more modest libraries, as well as individuals’ personal collections in conjunction with diverse legal documents and correspondence that offer valuable perspectives on the histories of book collecting and reading in ecclesiastical libraries. Toorientatethereader’sexplorationofthismonumentalcatalogueGiurgevich and Leitão provide a succinct introduction, which addresses the range and dimensions of ecclesiastical libraries over the course of their history up until 1834. They then focus on key facets of these libraries elucidated by the documents they catalogue, such as the control exerted over reading and the circulation of books. In addition to this a digital dimension to this book should also be highlighted. The book reviewed here is an independent and valuable resource in its own right, but the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal also hosts a complementary website that provides access to digital editions of some of the documents catalogued: http://clavisbibliothecarum.bn.pt/index.php. While this site is still a work in progress, it provides readers with a valuable opportunity to begin exploring some of the many libraries to which Clavis Bibliothecarum offers a key.

Indización y estudio de la Gaceta Médico-Quirúrgica Jerezana (1871-1872)

In this article are studied 12 issues of the Jerezana Medical-Surgical Gazette, corresponding to the years 1871 and 1872, published in Jerez de la Frontera (Cadiz) by its founder and director “Francisco Revueltas Carrillo Montel” (1839-1887). In this journal are offered clinical histories of the Departments of Surgery and Medicine of the Hospital of Santa Isabel de Jerez, as well as others of the private clinical experiences by some authors, as the surgeon, from El Puerto de Santa Maria (Cadiz), Federico Rubio y Gali (1827-1902). It is also appreciated in the journal the practical teaching work carried out in those years, in the above mentioned hospital, to some students from the Cadiz Faculty of Medicine who also published their clinical experiences in the Gazette; and we have also known that “practicante” an midwives were trained in this hospital. The magazine offers statistical information about the hospital, the hospice, the home of foundlings and the sanitary status of the city. In our work we carry out a chronological index of the 12 issues of the journal, which includes the authors, articles and news published.

Perfil psicomotor de crianças com transtorno do espectro autista

As alterações no funcionamento cerebral que ocorrem no Transtorno do Espectro Autista são causadas por uma desordem no desenvolvimento neurológico, podendo acarretar atrasos ou déficits de comunicação, atraso na aquisição de habilidades motoras e também nas relações sociais. Associada às alterações corticais, a redução de experiências motoras prejudica a aquisição e a qualidade dos movimentos executados por crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista, podendo interferir em sua autonomia. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi avaliar o perfil motor de crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista e comparar com a idade cronológica. Foram avaliadas crianças de dois a onze anos com diagnostico de Transtorno do Espectro Autista. A avaliação foi realizada por meio da Escala de Desenvolvimento Motor (EDM). Para análise das variáveis estudadas foi utilizado o teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov para normatização e o teste t-Student para a comparação entre as variáveis numéricas, idade motora geral (IMG) e idade cronológica (IC). Adotou-se, para o teste o nível de significância de 5% de probabilidade para a rejeição da hipótese de nulidade. Participaram da coleta 14 crianças com diagnóstico de Transtorno do Espectro Autista, com idade média de 4,9 anos ± 1,6 anos. A média obtida de idade motora geral (IMG) foi de 35,7 meses e a média de idade cronológica (IC) foi de 66,7, sendo significativamente inferior à idade motora geral em comparação com a idade cronológica. Com relação aos domínios comtemplados pela EDM, não houve relevância estatisticamente significativa, porém, os domínios estão abaixo da média normativa estabelecida pela EDM (89-80), destacando a linguagem que se apresentou muito inferior, tendo média de 18,9. Os dados indicaram que as crianças avaliadas estão abaixo da média normativa do índice de desenvolvimento motor cronológico. Isso ocorre devido ao aumento no tempo de latência de resposta no Transtorno do Espectro Autista prejudicando seu sequenciamento motor e reduzindo as adaptações motoras necessárias. As perturbações motoras leves e moderadas podem passar despercebidas pelos profissionais que acompanham crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista, portanto, o tratamento é postergado e só ocorre em casos que as alterações se tornam graves e prejudicam o desempenho escolar e social da criança. Crianças diagnosticadas com o Transtorno Global do Desenvolvimento apresentam desempenho psicomotor inferior ao esperado para idade cronológica.
