The human-dog relationship in early medieval England and Ireland (c. AD 400-1250)
No full textThis thesis aims to explore the human-dog relationship in early medieval England and Ireland (c. AD 400-1250) and so develop an improved understanding of how people perceived and utilised their dogs. In 1974, Ralph Harcourt published a seminal paper reviewing the metrical data for archaeological dog remains excavated from British antiquity. Nearly forty years on, many more dog bones have been excavated and recorded. His results from the Anglo-Saxon period illustrated that the degree of skeletal variability had reduced after the end of the Roman occupation, with an increase in the average size. He also observed two distinct groups in the estimated shoulder height measurements.The key areas that have been considered include: dog functionality, morphology, and treatment. Influences that may have led to changes in people’s perception of dogs during this time period have been examined. Differences between England and Ireland are assessed, but variation in recording methods has meant the data obtained on the Irish dogs were limited. An interdisciplinary approach has been taken, combining archaeological, historical and anthrozoological information. New evidence has shown that humans’ relationships with dogs were more complex and varied than previous research would suggest, especially in the treatment of dogs at their death. This was particularly evident in England, where a change in the burial location of dogs was observed from the end of the seventh century, and could be linked to the development of Christianity and its negative teachings towards the dog. More metrical data from English sites have shown that the two distinct groups observed in Harcourt’s Anglo- Saxon results were no longer apparent
A nondimensional relief framework: data
No full textConsidering the relationship between erosion rate and the relief structure of a landscape within a
nondimensional framework facilitates the comparison of landscapes undergoing forcing at a range of scales,
and allows broad-scale patterns of landscape evolution to be observed. We present software which automates
the extraction and processing of relevant topographic parameters to rapidly generate nondimensional erosion
rate and relief data for any landscape where high-resolution topographic data are available. Individual hillslopes
are identified using a connected-components technique which allows spatial averaging to be performed over
geomorphologically meaningful spatial units, without the need for manual identification of hillslopes.
The software is evaluated on four landscapes across the continental United States, three of which have been
studied previously using this technique. We show that it is possible to identify whether landscapes are in topographic
steady state. In locations such as Cascade Ridge, CA, a clear signal of an erosional gradient can be
observed. In the southern Appalachians, nondimensional erosion rate and relief data are interpreted as evidence
for a landscape decaying following uplift during the Miocene. An analysis of the sensitivity of this method to
free parameters used in the data smoothing routines is presented which allows users to make an informed choice
of parameters when interrogating new topographic data using this method. A method to constrain the critical
gradient of the nonlinear sediment flux law is also presented which provides an independent constraint on this
parameter for three of the four study landscapes.An included readme file (README.txt) provides an overview of the dataset's contents

Index cholecystectomy rates in mild gallstone pancreatitis: a single-centre experience
No full textBackground Gallstone pancreatitis (GSP) has evidence-based guidelines regarding management. Both the International Association of Pancreatology/American Pancreatology Association and American College of Gastroenterology recommend index admission cholecystectomy (IAC) in patients presenting with mild GSP. The aim of this study was to examine guideline adherence and GSP recurrence rate when IAC was not performed. A comparison between admitting specialty was also performed to examine the difference in compliance rates.Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted on all patients who presented to the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service with GSP from December 2013 to December 2016. Patient demographics, timing of surgery, admitting specialty, laboratory and imaging results were recorded.Results A total of 95 patients were identified with a first presentation of mild GSP during the study period. Of whom, 66 (69.5%) underwent IAC and 29 (30.5%) were discharged prior to cholecystectomy with 10 of those patients receiving index admission endoscopic sphincterotomy. Five patients (17%) who did not receive IAC were readmitted with gallstone-related complications with the mean time to re-presentation of 12.8 days (range 7-21 days). Patients were more likely to receive IAC when admitted under surgery compared with gastroenterology (76% versus 20%, P < 0.001).Conclusion Two out of three patients presenting with mild GSP underwent IAC in accordance with evidence-based management guidelines. Patients should be admitted under a surgical service to prevent delay in definitive management
