6. THE ANTIPODES, ISIDORE OF SEVILLE'S OCEANUS INTERIOR AND MACROBIUS' ALVEUS OCEANI

Author

Abstract

The ALVEUS OCEANI was a feature on the map in the 1483 edition of Macrobius' Commentary on the Dream of Scipio; it requires explanation to a modern reader. Apparently, it was the same as Isidore of Seville's Oceanus interior, which also requires explanation. Macrobius' map illustrated the concept of a part of the world Ocean running east-west in the equatorial zone, separating Africa, which lay north of it, from the land of the Antipodes to the south. This concept inspired the Portuguese quest, directed by Henry the Navigator, for a circum-African route to India in the fifteenth century, and subsequent European voyages of exploration in search of the land of the Antipodes until those of James Cook in the latter part of the eighteenth century., THE INTERIOR OCEAN: ALVEUS OCEANI In his Etymologiae, Isidore, Bishop of Seville (c.560-636) gave a much-quoted definition of the Antipodes: 'Extra tres autem partes orbis quarta pars trans oceanum interior [...]

30. THE DEPICTION OF THE OCEAN ON THE 1519 WORLD MAP OF LOPO HOMEM

Author

Abstract

The map of the world made by Lopo Homem in 1519 depicts the world Ocean, under the names OCCEANUS meridionals and indicummare, enclosed by the three classical continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, and the New World including the austral TERRA INCOGNITA. This configuration was apparently drawn from the description of the world given by Duarte Pacheco Pereira in 1508 and set out in his since lost map. Other world maps of this type are that shown on the 1525 tapestry by Bernaert van Orley and Georg Wezeler, and on the 1513 world map of Pin Reis. It is argued here that Homem's map represented a stage in cartographical history when Ptolemy's enclosed Indian Ocean was enlarged to become an enclosed world Ocean until, following Magellan's expedition, it was recognized that the Ocean was much larger than the authority of the Biblical Fourth Book of Esdras had ascribed to it, and that indeed it did surround the continental parts of the Earth., The 1519 world map by the Portuguese cartographer and cosmographer Lopo Homem, Universi Orbis adhanc usqe diem cogniti Tabula (Map of the Whole World as known to this day) (Fig- [...]

Abstract

Rapid climate changes bear significant consequences on various aspects of our lives, notably by deteriorating living conditions in certain areas to such extent that inhabitants have no choice but flee. Despite recognition of this issue, the dynamics of the relationship between the environmental factors and the human mobility have yet to be thoroughly investigated. This study aims to explore the application of advanced remote sensing analytics for developing detailed climate indicators at a micro (district) level, and to examine the relationship between climate factors and internally displaced persons. After detailing our data sources and the analytics employed for indicator development, we discuss various types of events and their repercussions. Our findings corroborate that slow-onset and rapid-onset climate events differently impact society, and the responses hinge on the urgency precipitated by the detrimental aftermath of the extreme weather event and, most crucially, on people's capabilities. We also underscore the importance of data quality and availability for the socio-economic indicators to enhance future studies, given the intertwined associations between climate change, economic deprivation, and violent conflict.

Abstract

The world map made by Martin Waldseemuller and his colleagues in 1507 was the first to call the land newly discovered in the South Atlantic by the name America, but what did they consider this land to be? In contrast to its discoverers, who had declared it to be continental, Waldseemuller called it an island. This is clear from comparing the inscription describing the newly discovered land on his map with the analogous inscription on his source map, the Cantino. At that time, 'continent' had a different meaning to that which it later acquired. It is argued here that Waldseemuller, like his contemporaries, identified America with the fourth part of the world, the Antipodes., AMERICA: CONTINENT OR ISLAND? In St. Die in Loraine, in 1507, Martin Waldseemuller and his colleagues, calling themselves the Gymnasium Vosagensis (Vosges School), constructed a map of the world they [...]

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand the wellness needs of front line public sector welfare staff within the Canadian neo-liberal welfare state, framed in a public management reform context. Although research has begun in a variety of public sector social service settings, there has been little scrutiny given to those working on the fault-lines of society (Sawchuk, 2013). The research design focused on both quantitative and qualitative tools for understanding the welfare employee experience. Quantitatively, the Perceived Wellness Survey (Adams, Bezner, and Steinhardt, 1997) and the COPE scale (Carver, Scheier, and Weintraub, 1989) were used respectively to generate data on staff wellness perceptions, and coping preferences. Qualitatively, a longitudinal journaling tool was used that allowed staff to record their work behaviors over 40 workdays. Specifically, they were able to record problems experienced, how they responded to them, and what resources were found to be useful. They were also able to rate each day as to level of satisfaction. The results of the study identified the potential impacts of public management reform on welfare state employees, and the critical role played by coping strategies. It also brought into question the relevancy of the holistic paradigm for the welfare work environment within British Columbia. The findings revealed a wellness duality in that the problems staff identified, the responses to those problems, and the resources utilized all had a common foundation. Social/relational factors were found to be both part of the problem and part of the solution when considering employee wellness, with age and gender influencing participant responses.

Abstract

Operational forecasts rely on accurate and timely observations and it is important that the ocean forecasting community demonstrates the impact of those observations to the observing community and its funders while providing feedback on requirements for the design of the ocean observing system. One way in which impact of new observations can be assessed is through Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs). Various satellite missions are being proposed to measure Total Surface Current Velocities (TSCV). This study uses OSSEs to assess the potential impact of assimilating TSCV observations. OSSEs have been performed using two global ocean forecasting systems; the Met Office's (MetO) Forecasting Ocean Assimilation Model and the Mercator Ocean International (MOI) system. Developments to the individual systems, the design of the experiments and results have been described in two companion papers. This paper provides an intercomparison of the OSSEs results from the two systems. We show that global near surface velocity analysis root-mean-squared-errors (RMSE) are reduced by 20-30% and 10-15% in the MetO and MOI systems respectively, we also demonstrate that the percentage of particles forecast to be within 50 km of the true particle locations after drifting for 6 days has increased by 9%/7%. Furthermore, we show that the global subsurface velocities are improved down to 1500m in the MetO system and down to 400m in the MOI system. There are some regions where TSCV assimilation degrades the results, notably themiddle of the gyres in the MetOsystem and at depth in the MOI system. Further tuning of the background and observation error covariances are required to improve performance in these regions. We also provide some recommendations on TSCV observation requirements for future satellite missions. We recommend that at least 80% of the ocean surface is observed in less than 4 to 5 days with a horizontal resolution of 20 to 50 km. Observations should be provided within one day of measurement time to allow real time assimilation and should have an accuracy of 10 cm/s in the along and across track direction and uncertainty estimates should be provided with each measurement.

Abstract

Background Flow diverters carry the risk of thromboembolic complications (TEC). We tested a coating with covalently bound heparin that activates antithrombin to address TEC by locally downregulating the coagulation cascade. We hypothesized that the neuroimaging evidence of TEC would be reduced by the coating. Methods 16 dogs were implanted with overlapping flow diverters in the basilar artery, separated into two groups: heparin-coated (n=9) and uncoated (n=7). Following implantation, high-frequency optical coherence tomography (HF-OCT) was acquired to quantify acute thrombus (AT) formation on the flow diverters. MRI was performed postoperatively and repeated at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 weeks, consisting of T1-weighted imaging, time-0f-flight (ToF), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), and fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences. Neurological examinations were performed throughout the 8-week duration of the study. Results The mean AT volume on coated devices was lower than uncoated (0.014 vs 0.018 mm³); however, this was not significant (P=0.3). The mean number of foci of magnetic susceptibility artifacts (MSAs) on SWI was significantly different between the uncoated and coated groups at the 1-week follow-up (P<0.02), and remained statistically different throughout the duration of the study. The AT volume showed a direct linear correlation with the MSA count and 80% of the variance in the MSA could be explained by the AT volume (P<0.001). Pathological analysis showed evidence of ischemic injury at locations of MSA. Conclusions Heparin-coated flow diverters significantly reduced the number of new MSAs after 1 week follow-up, showing the potential to reduce TEC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

50. First-Century Judaism and Polyphasic Culture: The Resurrection of Jesus.

*JUDAISM, *RESURRECTION (Jewish theology)
Abstract

The physical resurrection of Jesus is one of the primary tenets of Christianity. In modern times this doctrine has been questioned with a variety of different approaches. One of those approaches is the assertion that because the Jews in Palestine during the first century were part of a polyphasic culture, the resurrection was only a culturally-approved conceptualization of visionary experiences outside of time and space. This article discusses this position and explains the complications of such an assertion. This includes first defining and elucidating the characteristics of a polyphasic culture and then examining first-century Judaism within that framework. This paper will further argue that the Jews in first-century Palestine distinguished between different types of extraordinary experiences and exhibited high degrees of skepticism when warranted, especially in regards to the resurrection of Christ.
