Повний текст джерелаThe pattern of the palm-tree, which appears as soon as the end of the IVth millennium BC in both Egypt and Mesopotamia, experiences a vast diffusion across the Ancient Mediterranean world during the IInd and Ist millennium BC. Its style situates it in the artistic, cultural, and religious tradition of a large number of regions: the Levant, Cyprus island, Ancient Greece, and the Western Mediterranean. This thesis, built on wide geographical and chronological fields of study, investigates the geographical distribution of the pattern arising from contacts and exchanges between various civilizations and highlights how a specific iconography, proper to each civilization, has been elaborated. Some symbolic developments, such as the religious aspect of the palm-tree and the connection or assimilation of the tree to humans, in particular to women, appear recurrent and allow one to address the question of the continuity of the pattern in various picture samples and the way the view of the tree manifests itself in each of these civilizations

Повний текст джерелаObjetivo: Analizar y comparar las escalas MNA-SF, DETERMINE y MUST para poder identificar la más adecuada como herramienta de cribado para detectar riesgo de desnutrición en la población de 75 años o más que vive en su domicilio.Metodología: Estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y prospectivo, obtenido a partir de los datos de la Encuesta FRALLE. La muestra fue de 640 individuos. Las variables utilizadas en la fase transversal fueron: el riesgo de desnutrición medido con las escalas MNA-SF, DETERMINE y MUST y los factores asociados con riesgo de desnutrición (variables sociodemográficas, de estado de salud y parámetros antropométricos). En la fase longitudinal se recogieron los efectos adversos de la desnutrición (mortalidad, ingresos hospitalarios, caídas y aparición de discapacidad). La fiabilidad de las escalas se midió mediante el alfa de Cronbach. Para analizar la validez concurrente, se seleccionaron las escalas CES-D, Lawton&Brody y MNA para usarlas como criterios realizando, posteriormente, los cálculos de sensibilidad y especificidad, valores predictivos y curvas ROC. Para la evaluación de la validez predictiva, se llevaron a cabo análisis de regresión logística para ver qué escalas de cribado nutricional se asociaban de manera independiente a los efectos adversos de desnutrición, después de ajustarlas por las variables sociodemográficas, de estado de salud y parámetros antropométricos. Finalmente, se utilizaron curvas de supervivencia y se construyeron modelos de riesgos proporcionales de Cox para observar la capacidad predictiva del riesgo de mortalidad de las tres escalas a los dos años. Para el análisis de los datos se empleó el programa SPSS. El nivel de significación aceptado para todos los análisis fue de p <0,05.Resultados: Las prevalencias de riesgo de desnutrición según el MNA-SF, DETERMINE y MUST fueron del 21,7%, 36,1% y del 12,2% respectivamente. La consistencia interna de las escalas fue de 0,51 en el MNA-SF, 0,50 en el DETERMINE y 0,05 en el MUST. La validez concurrente mostró valores elevados de especificidad y valores predictivos negativos. En cambio, las sensibilidades y los valores predictivos positivos fueron bajos, excepto cuando se empleó como criterio la escala MNA, la cual obtuvo mejores resultados. La capacidad predictiva de los ingresos hospitalarios, las caídas y la aparición de discapacidad no se manifestó en ninguna de las tres escalas. Sin embargo, el MNA-SF fue la única escala capaz de predecir mortalidad, mostrando que: los individuos que presentaban riesgo de desnutrición obtenían una media de supervivencia inferior a los que tenían un buen estado nutricional y el riesgo de desnutrición medido mediante la escala MNA-SF fue un factor pronóstico de mortalidad a los dos años.Conclusiones: En la comparación de las tres escalas evaluadas, la que obtuvo mejores resultados fue el MNA-SF, tanto por su validez concurrente como por su capacidad predictiva de la mortalidad. Por lo tanto, según los resultados de este estudio, se pudo constatar que el MNA-SF fue la escala más adecuada para el cribado nutricional de las personas mayores en el ámbito comunitario.
Aim: To analyze and compare the MNA-SF, DETERMINE and MUST scales to identify the most suitable screening tool to detect nutritional risk in the population aged 75 and over living at home.Methods: A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study, based on data from the Survey FRALLE, was conducted, using a sample of 640 individuals. The variables used in the transverse phase were nutritional risk, measured by the MNA-SF, DETERMINE and MUST, and the factors associated with nutritional risk (sociodemographic variables, health status and anthropometric parameters). In the longitudinal phase the data associated with the adverse effects of malnutrition were collected (mortality, hospital admissions, falls and disability). The reliability of the scales was measured by Cronbach's alpha. To analyze the concurrent validity the CES-D, Lawton & Brody and MNA scales were selected and used as criteria, later to make calculations of sensitivity and specificity, predictive values and ROC curves. To evaluate the predictive validity logistic regression analyzes were conducted to see what nutritional screening tools were independently associated with the adverse effects of malnutrition, after adjustment for the sociodemographic variables, health status and anthropometric parameters were made. Finally, we used survival curves and constructed Cox proportional hazards models to observe the predictive ability of the nutritional tools of mortality risk for two years. For the analysis of the data SPSS was used with the accepted level of significance for all analyzes of p <0.05.Results: The prevalence of risk of malnutrition according to the MNA-SF, DETERMINE and MUST was 21,7%, 36,1% and 12,2% respectively. Internal consistency of the MNA-SF was 0,51, DETERMINE was 0,50 and MUST was 0,05. The concurrent validity showed high values of specificity and negative predictive values, however, the sensitivity and positive predictive values were low, except when MNA was used as a criterion, which had better results. The predictive ability of hospital admissions, falls and disability was not evident in any of the three scales. However, the MNA-SF was the only scale that could predict mortality, showing that: individuals at risk of malnutrition obtained a lower median survival than those who had good nutritional status. Nutritional risk, which was measured by the MNA-SF scale, was a prognostic factor for mortality in two years.Conclusions: In the comparison of the three scales evaluated, the MNA-SF obtained the best results, for its concurrent validity and its predictive capacity of mortality. Therefore, given the results of this study, the MNA-SF was the most appropriate nutritional screening tool of older people in the community.

Thesis, université Paris-Saclay, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020UPASS050.
Повний текст джерелаDespite the astonishing diversity of plants, animals and macroscopic fungi, most eukaryotic diversity is actually microbial. The eukaryotic tree comprises several large monophyletic supergroups. One of these groups is the Opisthokonta, which encompasses two branches, Holozoa, including animals, and Holomycota, grouping Fungi and their unicellular relatives. While multicellular fungi are well known, knowledge on the diversity of unicellular Fungi and their phylogenetic relatives is still poor. This unicellular fraction includes several zoosporic lineages (e.g. Chytridiomycota and Blastocladiomycota) within Fungi, but also a variety of lineages related to the classical core Fungi: nucleariids, rozellids, aphelids and Microsporidia. However, the phylogenetic relationships of these lineages among them and with classical Fungi remain to be solidly established. Molecular phylogenetic trees of 18S rRNA genes retrieved from environmental studies have showed a wide diversity of unicellular holomycotans in almost all environments on Earth. However, the phylogenetic signal of this gene is limited and does not allow robustly resolving most deep phylogenetic relationships. During past years, high-throughput techniques have allowed sequencing hundreds of new genomes and transcriptomes. This has made possible to carry out multi-gene phylogenomic studies, which increase the available signal to resolve evolutionary relationships. Nevertheless, most sequenced genomes correspond to easy-to-culture fungal species, often with particular interest for humans (e.g. parasites, plant symbionts, yeast). Recently, single-cell omics has become a potential useful approach to study uncultured unicellular eukaryotes, making it possible to reconstruct robust phylogenetic analyses of a wide environmental diversity using genomic and transcriptomic data. During my PhD work, I have applied single-cell techniques to get phylogenetic information from divergent holomycotan lineages, clarify phylogenetic relationships among fungi and their close relatives and infer trait evolution. More specifically, I have used this approach to: 1) Generate genomic and transcriptomic data for nucleariids and better reconstruct inner relationships in the clade and the characters present in the nucleariid ancestor. Our results confirm that the cover-bearing unicellular genera Pompholyxophrys and Lithocolla are indeed nucleariids and branch together with Nuclearia, Parvularia and Fonticula. The reconstruction of a robust phylogeny for the group allowed us to infer the traits (e.g. no flagellum, glycocalyx, no cover) already present in their ancestor. 2) Sequence and comparatively analyze the genome of Metchnikovella incurvata, to confirm its relatively basal position within Microsporidia, and determine synapomorphies for the clade. Phylogenomic analysis of the metchnikovellid Metchnikovella incurvata confirmed that Metchnikovellidae branch at the base of Core-Microsporidia. We also confirmed their metabolic profile to be more similar to Core-microsporidia, being both similarly reduced in genes/functions. 3) Generate genomic data for Amoeboradix gromovi and Sanchytrium tribonematis, which form the newly described zoosporic fungal clade of sanchytrids, and resolve their phylogenetic position. The study of the two sanchytrid genomes clarified their placement within Fungi as a new clade sister to Blastocladiomycota. Comparative genomics showed that their metabolic composition was reduced in comparison with related lineages. This reduction was especially important in their flagellar toolkit when compared with other Holomycota, confirming 4 independent flagellum loss events in the clade

Повний текст джерелаThe subject of our dissertation is the trade and use of various products derived from trees and shrubs in the Kingdom of Ugarit, located on the coast of Syria and whose written documentation informs us about the Late Bronze Age, mainly fourteenth and thirteenth centuries BC. The kingdom is well known thanks to the thousands of tablets found in the last 82 years on the site of Ras Shamra and more recently that of Ras Ibn Hani. These tablets are written overwhelmingly in two languages and two systems of cuneiform writing: first, the local language, called “Ugaritic”, noted in an alphabetic system, on the other hand, the Babylonian Akkadian, noted by a logo-syllabic script. Situated between the coast and mountains, this kingdom was located between two major regions suppliers of timber in the most remote antiquity, as evidenced by Egyptian and Mesopotamian literature and the Bible, the Lebanese mountains and the Amanus mountain. The place is thus particularly important for this topic. Following an overview of geographical, demographic, linguistic, historical and economic on the kingdom of Ugarit, we studied successively ebony, pine and fir, cedar, juniper, cypress, boxwood, ¶Rgz, palm-tree, olive-tree, ñlmg-wood and vineyard, the vine and its products .We started each chapter with a botanical and linguistical identification. We tried to locate what were the areas that were the main sources of these natural resources. Then, we established a historical overview on the trade in products from trees and transportation. We tried to clarify their nature, quantity, quality, weight and price in Ugarit and outside. Finally, we examined the various uses and their role in craft, medicine, religion and magic. In doing so, we could also approach the symbolic value of these trees and woods

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis investigates the weapons and combatants depicted in the vascular and parietal funerary paintings of Campania and Lucania, whose production began in the second half of the fifth century and died out at the beginning of the third century BC. We intend to show that we can identify a particular military ideology visible through the paintings, which is situated at the confluence of the religious (eschatological), military and social spheres. The individual military exploit is celebrated through the composition called the "Return of the Warrior", depicting a horseman bringing back the spoils (spolia) of his defeated enemy, a key element allowing the deceased combatant to attain immortality. We will also see that the fighting techniques are focused on dueling. Single combat is the most likely to allow the victor to seize the spoils of his defeated opponent. The specifics of the battle as it is represented is characteristic of archaic warfare, which differs in substance from modern warfare. The paintings studied thus reveal a particular structure of the battle, characteristic of archaic warfare, which differs in substance from modern warfare. We will also be able to confirm the military, social and institutional upheavals known from ancient sources that took place in central and southern Italy during the last third of the fourth century, such as the Roman-Campanian rapprochement, the reform of Appius Claudius and the Samnite wars

Ancient trees are the most common theme for painters and at the same time, various beautiful legends and stories are told about these ancient trees. The author since her childhood often went to scenic parks for mountain hiking with her parents and ancient trees, thus, have strong sentiments to her. Along with time, small tress now have grown into big and tall trees and once large trees are now ancient trees. There have been many changes and different manners are now presented to us because of changes. The author would like to study stories of ancient trees so as to have profound understanding and observation on ancient tress and through painting, she can portray good impression of ancient trees from her perspective. This paper consists of five chapters below: Chapter 1 Introduction describes research motivation and purpose, methodology and research limitations and scope, definition of terminologies and research structure. Through methods including action research and field study, data of trees were collected to present ink painting of trees. Chapter 2 introduces portrait paintings of trees done by Chinese painters in different generations. First, relevant works by famous ancient and contemporary painters after the establishment of the Republic of China were analyzed and after creation methods were understood, applications from different perspective to paintings were adopted. Chapter 3 discusses creation conceptualization and realization about observation and theme finding respectively to convey thoughts of creators and portrait methods and applications of ancient trees. Chapter 4 presents work analyses. Among 20 pieces of works created for this study, seven were selected as representative ones according to creation concepts, format contents, technique presentation for the basis of description and expression. Chapter 5 is conclusion that indicates reviews and reflection about the topic of study, ancient trees, and meanings and values of this series of creative study. In the end, the author’s future prospects for herself is presented. The author uses ancient trees as the topic to attempt to observe and define the theme from different perspectives and learn and master ink painting skills with the purpose to show thoughts and emotions towards ancient trees. Although due to limited literacies and experiences of the author, life ink paintings created for this study may not be perfect, yet the author would like to bring better works to share with viewers in the future.

The purpose of this thesis was to apply a new marketing method to promote Pu-Erh tea in Taiwan. The head of this study ran a business for selling watches and jewelry. These years, he expanded his career to tea beverage. Since the tea industry in Taiwan had been quite mature and the head was also very interested in it, he devoted himself to an in-depth study of the origin of the ancient tree tea through commercial network. Currently the head himself had been to Yunnan province, China, to study ancient tree tea and the planting environment of the wild tea. He cooperated with the local farmers and tea business to produce various tea products and attempted to develop all kinds of tea packaging. In the future, the head will put more efforts to supply leisure activities related to Pu-Erh tea for people to participate in and make his enterprises to sustainable development. In view of this, this research uses the data by doing Literature Review and Field Research Methods to do Michael Porter’s Five Forces Analysis and Competitive Profile Matrix(CPM)in order to build a new business model of leisure management. The study findings may serve as a guide for further research on promotion of Pu-Erh tea industry. The research results are summarized as follows: (a) Regardless of the against strength of market players, the bargaining capacity of buyers, the bargaining capacity of dealers, the threats of potential entrants, and the threat of alternative products, Pu-Erh tea industry in Taiwan doesn’t feel much pressure from them; (b) As far as the competition is concerned, Pu-Erh ripe tea has gone beyond Pu-Erh unfermented tea. The head hopes that in the very near future he will be able to do cross industry cooperation with large enterprises and develop experience tourism; (c) The head of this study has always upheld the enthusiasm to serve his customers since he started his watches and jewelry industry. Except for the sale of tea, the head will continuously incorporate the concept of leisure agriculture and the cultural experience tourism to enhance operational efficiency.

Повний текст джерелаThe Bible is widely read but it is difficult to understand the world and culture of the era that it is set in. It is my aim to provide new insight into a few Old Testament verses with their symbolic meaning. When ivory was discovered at Nimrud the discovery elicited huge excitement. The ivory pieces came to tell a story. Through studying the art of the different cultures a picture begins to appear of the palaces and homes of the wealthy in the Levant. The iconography could be “read.” Iconography is the science of interpreting the message the art wants to convey to the viewer. A few images are repeatedly showing up in the Levant during the Iron Age. In this study I am focusing mainly on The Tree of Life, the Winged Disc, the Rosette and Winged Spiritual Beings. I am attempting to discern the meaning behind these images.
