Failed Censures: Ecclesiastical Regulation of Women’s Clothing in Late Medieval Italy
No full textChurchmen in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries tried to regulate the costume of Italian women. These efforts failed, and regulation was largely left thereafter to civic authorities.The published version was published as Chapter 3 in Medieval Clothing and Textiles 5Izbicki, Thomas M.

Western medieval legal manuscripts in the collections of the University of Pennsylvania
No full textWestern legal manuscripts of the Middle Ages in North American collections are among the least known to scholars. The University of Pennsylvania has a rich collection of these texts, several of which were in the collection of the historian Henry Charles Lea. Included are works of civil law and canon law, as well as collections of papal letters and guides to pastoral care. The descriptions of most of these manuscripts in the catalog of Norman P. Zacour and Rudolf Hirsch are perfunctory, sometimes erring or omitting valuable information. Other manuscripts were added in recent years in the Lawrence J. Schoenberg Collection. Much of this material is being added to the Franklin online catalog of the University’s libraries, but researchers frequently do not search these digital resources. This article provides more complete guidance to the University’s medieval legal manuscripts than any of the existing catalogs offers, whether in print or online. It also provides updated bibliographic information in print or online. Every manuscript has been examined by the author in situ. Among the important works represented in the collection is the Panormia (a work of canon law often attributed to Ivo of Chartres). Authors present include the curialist Thomas of Capua, canonists Petrus de Braco, William of Pagula, Bernardus Raimundi, Adam of Aldersbach, Raymond of Peñafort, and civil lawyers Baldus de Ubaldis, and Bartolus de Saxoferrato. Three of these manuscripts were owned in the past by Sir Thomas Phillipps
Forbidden Colors in the Regulation of Clerical Dress from the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) to the Time of Nicholas of Cusa (d. 1464)
No full textMedieval canon law attempted to distinguish clergy from the laity by restricting their dress choices. The article focuses on prohibition of wearing red or green on the street. Both colors were identified with the nobility.The published version was published as Chapter 7 in Medieval Clothing and Textiles 1Izbicki, Thomas M.

Thomas Crutchfield account book, 1848-1861
No full textA book containing business accounts, including details about travel expenses and the purchase and sale of lumber as well as other goods and services. The author also catalogs personal spending, the dates and pricing of properties offered for rent, and the purchase and leasing of enslaved people. Many entries are consistent with the business activities of Thomas Crutchfield Sr., who died in 1850. Someone continued to make entries in the book for activities dated up to 1861

Relationship between oxygen consumption kinetics and BODE Index in COPD patients
No full textAudrey Borghi-Silva,1 Thomas Beltrame,1,2 Michel Silva Reis,1 Luciana Maria Malosá Sampaio,3 Aparecida Maria Catai,1 Ross Arena,4 Dirceu Costa31Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy Laboratory, Nucleus of Research in Physical Exercise, Federal University of São Carlos, São Carlos, SP, Brazil; 2Faculty of Applied Health Sciences, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada; 3Rehabilitation Sciences Master’s Program, Universidade Nove de Julho, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil; 4Division of Physical Therapy, Department of Orthopedics, Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, and Latin American and Iberian Institute, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, USABackground and objective: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) present with reduced exercise capacity due to impaired oxygen consumption (VO2), caused primarily by pulmonary dysfunction and deleterious peripheral adaptations. Assuming that COPD patients present with slower VO2 and heart rate (HR) on-kinetics, we hypothesized that this finding is related to disease severity as measured by the BODE Index. In this context, the present study intends to evaluate the relationship between VO2 uptake on-kinetics during high-intensity exercise and the BODE Index in patients with COPD.Methods: Twenty males with moderate-to-severe stable COPD and 13 healthy control subjects matched by age and sex were evaluated. COPD patients were screened by the BODE Index and then underwent an incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test and a constant speed treadmill session at 70% of maximal intensity for 6 minutes. The onset of the exercise (first 360 seconds) response for O2 uptake and HR was modeled according to a monoexponential fit.Results: Oxygen consumption and HR on-kinetics were slower in the COPD group compared with controls. Additionally, VO2 on-kinetic parameters revealed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.77, P < 0.05) with BODE scores and a moderate negative correlation with walking distance (r = −0.45, P < 0.05).Conclusion: Our data show that moderate-to-severe COPD is related to impaired oxygen delivery and utilization during the onset of intense exercise.Keywords: COPD, VO2 on-kinetics, heart rate, BODE Inde
Die Digitale Bibliothek der Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen
No full textDie Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen (AdWG) und die niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen (SUB) haben ihre bestehende Kooperation zum Webportal der AdWG intensiviert, das einen Überblick über die Aktivitäten der Göttinger Akademie und umfangreiche Information zu den zahlreichen Langzeitvorhaben bietet und die digitalen Publikationen präsentiert. Zentraler Bestandteil des Webportals ist die Digitale Bibliothek der AdWG, für die im Rahmen der Kooperation neue Präsentationsformen für die Forschungsdaten aus den Akademie-Vorhaben konzipiert und entwickelt wurden. Ein Beispiel für die Umsetzung neuer Präsentationsformen im Portal ist das Edfu-Projekt, dessen Ziel eine Gesamtübersetzung aller Inschriften des Tempels von Edfu in Oberägypten ist. Hinzugezogen werden dazu alle internen, greifbaren, in den Schriften enthaltenen Parallelen, auf die online über das Webportal zugegriffen werden kann. Zerstörte Bereiche lassen sich dadurch oftmals ebenso ergänzen, wie zunächst unverständliche Textpassagen mit Sinn versehen werden können. Nicht nur die bereits vorübersetzten Texte sind auf diese Weise abrufbar, sondern darüber hinaus zahlreiche zusätzliche Materialien, wie z.B. das Fotoarchiv mit seinen mehr als 20.000 Bildern. Die Vernetzung all dieser Daten schafft einen für die Wissenschaft ungewöhnlich tiefen Einblick in die Planung und Konzeption eines altägyptischen Tempels, seiner religiösen Hintergründe und historischen Zusammenhänge.
The Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AdWG) and the Göttingen State and University Library (SUB) have intensified their existing cooperation on the web portal of the AdWG. The portal provides an overview of the activities of the Göttingen Academy as well as extensive information on its numerous long-term projects. It also presents the academy’s digital publications. A crucial part of the web portal is the Digital Library of the AdWG. Within the framework of the cooperation, new forms of presentation for the research data from the Academy projects have been conceptualized and developed. An example of the implementation of such a new form of presentation is the Edfu project. The goal of this project is an exhaustive translation of all inscriptions from the temple of Edfu in Upper Egypt. For this, all internal text parallels, which are accessible on the internet platform, are taken into account. This helps to reconstruct damaged inscriptions and recover the meaning of texts which seem incomprehensible at first. Not only the pre-translated texts are accessible online, but also the digital photo archive which covers more than 20.000 images. Bringing all this data into one network offers unusually deep insights into the planning and conceptualization of an ancient Egyptian temple, its religious background und historical context
