The Roman town of Falerii Novi sits 50km north of Rome on the ancient Via Amerina. According to historical sources, it was founded after the Roman conquest of the nearby Faliscan centre of Falerii Veteres in 241 BC (Polyb. 1.65; Liv. Epit. 20; Eutrop. 2.28; Oros. 4.11; Zon. 8.18). The urban site appears to have persisted at least until the first half of the sixth century AD, with the bishopric of Aquaviva ascribed to the site in AD 465 (Duchesne, 1892). A monastery and church of Santa Maria di Falleri were founded by Cistercians and first mentioned in documents of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, now forming the only standing structure on site other than the ancient circuit walls.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) represents a population of high risk of major cardiopulmonary decompensation. Maintenance of patency of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), using intravenous prostaglandin, is a strategy used by some clinicians to decrease the risk of right ventricular dysfunction. A term infant with CDH presented with pulmonary hypertension unresponsive to aggressive hemodynamic support. Within 12 hours of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) initiation, circuit chugging occurred that was refractory to multiple volume boluses. Targeted neonatal echocardiography (TnECHO) revealed a high-volume left-to-right shunt across the PDA, resulting in decreased blood return to the right atrium. Interventions aimed at reducing the left-to-right PDA shunt led to the resolution of circuit chugging. This report highlights the unique challenge of VA-ECMO flow in the setting of a large PDA and the consequences of interventions, increasing PDA diameter or lowering pulmonary vascular resistance, on the magnitude of systemic-pulmonary shunting and systemic blood flow. TnECHO played a vital role in monitoring hemodynamics and guiding ECMO adjustments.

El conocimiento, la valoración y el aprecio del entorno donde se desarrolla el individuo fomentan el sentido de pertenencia. El presente estudio es un primer acercamiento para conocer la percepción ambiental del alumnado de educación secundaria en dos localidades costeras de Tamiahua, Veracruz, México, respecto al Sistema Arrecifal Lobos-Tuxpan (SALT). Para ello, se realizó un análisis curricular de las asignaturas de Biología y Geografía del plan de estudios 2011. De este análisis se construyeron tres instrumentos (cuestionario cerrado, frases inacabadas y cuestionario abierto) para indagar sobre el conocimiento ambiental, los valores ambientales y el sentido de pertenencia respectivamente. Los resultados revelan que los contenidos y aprendizajes esperados para las dos asignaturas no logran ser contextualizados con el Sistema Arrecifal Lobos-Tuxpan (SALT). La prueba de Chi-cuadrada reveló que la proximidad con el SALT no denota una diferencia significativa en cuanto al conocimiento ambiental. Se manifiesta un desconocimiento particularmente de los servicios ambientales que brinda este ecosistema. De los siete valores ambientales declarados, la empatía fue el mejor representado para ambos centros escolares. En relación al sentido de pertenencia, los estudiantes reconocen que su vida y su comunidad guardan una relación con el SALT. Se evidencia la necesidad de que los estudiantes reciban un reforzamiento pedagógico en ambas asignaturas con un enfoque local. Este estudio puede ser considerado por las autoridades ambientales encargadas del manejo del SALT para proponer estrategias de Educación para la Sustentabilidad.

This paper (an extract from the research report submitted to The Asiatic Society, Mumbai for K.T. Telang Fellowship in Indology, 1996) includes 44 source books, articles and theses written by dance practitioners, scholars and historians on Kuchipudi dance tradition both in English and Telugu language. The major contribution of this work is the translation of Telugu texts into English to enable non-Telugu speaking readership and then presenting the analytic interpretations in brief annotations which is a rare feature in the dance literature in India. It provides an overall view of the historical background and development of Kuchipudi dance tradition as a classical dance form.The sources, though not exhaustive, are comprehensive enough covering major and significant writings on Kuchipudi dance written in India in the twentieth century till mid 1990s. The annotations provide the perspective of each author on the process of transition and development of Kuchipudi from the earlier dance-drama tradition to the solo format and then the present classical status.

Project Bamboo, a cyberinfrastructure initiative supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, takes as its core mission the enhancement of arts and humanities research through the development of shared technology services. Rather than developing new tools for curating or analyzing data, Project Bamboo aims to provide core infrastructure services including identity and access management, collection interoperability, and scholarly data management. The longer-term goal is for many organizations and projects to leverage those services so as to direct their own resources towards innovative tool or collection development. In addition, Bamboo seeks to model a paradigm for tool integration that focuses on tools as discrete services (such as a morphology annotation service and a geoparser service, instead of a web-based environment that does morphological annotation and geoparsing) that can be applied to texts, individually or in combination with other services, to enable complex curatorial and analytical workflows. This paper addresses points of intersection between Project Bamboo and TEI over the course of Bamboo's development, including the role of TEI in Bamboo's ongoing development work. The paper highlights the significant contributions of the TEI community to the early development of the project through active participation in the Bamboo Planning Project. The paper also addresses the influence of TEI on the Bamboo Technology Project's collection interoperability and corpus curation/analysis initiatives, as well as its role in current (as of October 2012) development work.

The study of emerging adulthood-the prolonged transition to adulthood extending into the 20s--is a rapidly growing area of research. Although identity issues are prominent during this period, the role of personal agency and individualization in the identity formation process during these years is not well understood. In an attempt to better understand emerging adulthood as an opportunity for identity development, authors' purpose is to investigate deeper the relationship of individualization and agency to identity formation in emerging adulthood. In particularly, since the ethnic diversity in the United States of America is increasing day by day, the authors purpose to investigate the consistency of the agency-identity relationship across three American ethnic groups as well as to empirically.evaluate two opposing developmental routes that takes place during the individualisation process. This study examines three psychological aspects of identity formation (style, status, and process) in relation to personal agency associated with the individualization process. Structural equation modelling analyses suggest that higher levels of agency are positively related to exploration and flexible commitment, unrelated to conformity, and negatively related to avoidance. Cluster analysis was used to examine and support a theorized polarity between developmental and default forms of individualization. Replicated across three U.S. ethnic groups, the results suggest that emerging adults utilize agentic capacities to varying degrees, and that the degree of agency utilized is directly related to the coherence of the emerging adult's identity. The sample has been recruited from under- graduate courses at a public, urban multicultural university designated as a Minority Postsecondary Institution by the U.S. Department of Education.
