Introduction: studies in ancient historical demography
No full textBook synopsis: Through a series of case studies this book demonstrates the wide-ranging impact of demographic dynamics on social, economic and political structures in the Graeco-Roman world. The individual case studies focus on fertility, mortality and migration and the roles they played in various aspects of ancient life. These studies – drawn from a range of populations in Athens and Attica, Rome and Italy, and Graeco-Roman Egypt – illustrate how new insights can be gained by applying demographic methods to familiar themes in ancient history. Methodological issues are addressed in a clear, straightforward manner with no assumption of prior technical knowledge, ensuring that the book is accessible to readers with no training in demography. The book marks an important step forward in ancient historical demography, affirming both the centrality of population studies in ancient history and the contribution that antiquity can make to population history in general

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Analysis Of Students Creative Thinking In Solving Transformation Geometry Problems
No full textCreative Thinking Is One Of The Goals Of Learning Mathematics. Where Creative Thinking In Solving Problems Has Many Benefits In Research Analyzes Students\u27 Creative Thinking In Everyday Life. But In Reality, Students Creative Thinking Is Still Low. Therefore, It Is Necessary To Identify Creative Thinking, Especially In The Problem Of Transformation Geometry. This Research Is A Descriptive Study With A Qualitative Approach Carried Out In Fourth Semester Of Mathematics Education In Stkip Sebelas April Sumedang. From The Results And Discussions That Have Been Done, It Can Be Concluded That Students\u27 Creative Thinking Is Inadequate, It Means That They Have Not Been Able To Go Through The Creative Thinking Stages Completely. Of 29 Students Who Were Given Questions, The Results Show None Of Them Who Completely Met The Creative Thinking Stage. The Author Suggests That In Supporting Students\u27 Creative Thinking, It Is Necessary To Develop A Learning Model That Involves Giving Problems And Finding Solutions At The Same Time

C-14 and Be-10 in dust deposited during the storm of 16-17 April 2006 in Beijing
No full textThe concentrations of Be-10 and C-14 and values of delta C-13 in samples collected during a major dust storm in Beijing on 16-17 April 2006 were studied. The Be-10 concentrations ranged from 1.69 x 10(8) to 2.07 x 10(8) atom/g, C-14 ages for black carbon (BC) ranged from 3001 to 5181 yr BP and for total inorganic carbon (TIC) from 8464 to 9119 yr BP, and delta C-13 values for BC ranged from -23.15% to -23.80% and for TIC from -5.39% to -5.98%. A comparison of BC content and delta C-13 value between the dust, surface soil in the dust source region, and aerosols in Beijing indicated that BC in the dust deposited in Beijing is significantly incorporated by aerosol BC during the dust transportation. Based on the C-14 ages of BC, the proportion of fossil-fuel-derived BC was 0.35-0.49 of the total. In contrast to BC, the TIC deposited in Beijing can be firmly related to the source area and delta C-13 was not significantly modified during its transportation. According to the C-14 ages of TIC, the proportion of the secondary carbonate in the dust was from 0.63 to 0.70. The results confirm that C-14 of TIC is another useful tracer to indicate the source region of dust besides the content and delta C-13 value of TIC from the arid and semi-arid regions of China.Geochemistry & GeophysicsSCI(E)0ARTICLE2-31790-18005
