Erhöhte Schallemission im Gleisbogen
No full textDie Eisenbahn gilt als fester Bestandteil in einem zukünftigen CO2-neutralen Transport vonMenschen und Gütern. Dem Ausbau des Schienennetzes steht eine erhöhte Lärmsensibilitätder Bevölkerung gegenüber. Vor allem in Gleisbögen können hochfrequente Emissionsanteilemit hohen Schalldrücken und tonaler Charakteristik zu einem erhöhtenBelästigungsempfinden führen. Ursachen für diese sind Spurkranzanlauf undEigenfrequenzschwingungen der Radscheibe – ausgelöst durch laterale Haft-Gleit-Vorgängeder Radlauffläche am Schienenkopf. In normativen Berechnungsmodellen werden diese,wenn überhaupt, mit einem radienabhängigen Zuschlag zur Emission berücksichtigt. Dieserliegt auf Basis der aktuellen Forschung zwar auf der sicheren Seite, verursacht jedoch beiZugskategorien mit hoher Grundschallemission eine Überschätzung der berechnetenSchallemissionswerte. Es ist eine Abstufung nach verschiedenen Zugskategorien zuempfehlen

No full textDue to the exposed location of Cape Punta di Zambrone, many abrasive processes take place here. The geological subsoil – situated in a rupture zone – with its vegetation, the Tyrrhenian Sea and weather phenomena form a constantly changing surface. Topographical surveys and observations in the field have led to the conclusion that the settlement area on the cape has decreased since the Bronze Age. However, the extent of this phenomenon over the last 3000 years cannot be exactly determined

Mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa: What is Killing Adults Aged 15-59 Years in Zambia?
No full textThe question of cause-of-death remains of interest among demographers, epidemiologists and public health researchers. Adults in the age group 15-59 years play a significant role in the socio-economic development of a country. However, in most of sub-Saharan African countries, the coverage and accuracy of data on adult mortality has been deficient compared to that of under-five (age group 0-4) mortality. As a result, little research exists on causes-of-death in this age group in most of sub-Saharan Africa and adult mortality remains a health burden for many countries in this part of Africa. Using the 2010-2012 Zambia Sample Vital Registration with Verbal Autopsy (SAVVY) survey data and computing age-sex and cause-specific death rates and ratios as well as constructing cause-deleted life tables, this study examined the causes-of-death among adults in age group 15-59 years. The study found that HIV/AIDS was the major leading cause-of-death across all demographic and socioeconomic background characteristics of the deceased adults. HIV/AIDS deaths increased by age and peaked in age group 35-39 and were higher among females than males. Injuries and accidents were the second leading cause-of-death among males while among females it was tuberculosis. Injuries and accidents were more prevalent in age group 15-35, the highly educated and the never married. Diseases of the circulatory system were the third leading cause-of-death among female decedents while tuberculosis was the third leading cause of death among males. Malaria was the fourth leading cause-of-death for both males and females. Adult deaths attributable to non-communicable diseases were more evident in older ages 45-59. Eliminating HIV/AIDS as a cause of death would have the most impact in reducing adult mortality in Zambia and contribute significantly to the number of additional years of life gained compared to eliminating the other causes-of-death. Therefore, health programmes and interventions on HIV/AIDS should be further supported and strengthened as they would significantly contribute to the reduction of adult mortality in Zambia in line with sustainable development goals (SDGs)
A unique piece of Old Kingdom art: the Funerary Stela of Sekhemka and Henutsen from Abusir South. Ägypten und Levante|Ägypten und Levante XXXI 31|
No full textThe excavations of the Czech Institute of Egyptology, Faculty of Arts, Charles University in the spring of 2018 brought to light a remarkable stela (Exc. No. 1/AS104/2018) with an offering table scene and two engaged statues depicting a couple (Sekhemka and Henutsen). The object also contains a list of sacred oils and two offering formulae (the usual Htp-dj-nswt and an unparalleled one, Htp-dj-nTr). Moreover, the polychromy is partially preserved. The article presents the stela’s archaeological context and description, polychrome reconstruction and discussion concerning its dating and the social standing of its owners. In the context of Old Kingdom art, the stela is interpreted as a peculiar combination of elements pertinent to false doors and statues. Parallels which could help explain these features are scarce. This stela provides evidence for the origin of the false door in early Egyptian shrines, and the subsequent development of two distinct architectural forms, the false door and the statue shrine (naos)
