This paper aims to raise awareness of how design methods can significantly influence the visual perception and contextual relationship of contemporary extensions and historical buildings. This study focuses on assessing the design elements that affect visual perception and contextual relationship in 15 contemporary extensions designed by different architects. First, the authors reviewed the literature on restoration, conservation and contemporary extensions, and then generated a questionnaire. The authors surveyed 223 respondents. A mixed qualitative and quantitative evaluation model was established. SPSS was used to evaluate and analyze the 15 selected contemporary extensions and 223 survey samples. The results indicated that contemporary extensions are considered successful when designed using a method compatible with the historical buildings in congruence with related literature and hypothesis. For the buildings examined within this research, no examples were found that copied historical buildings within the scope of visual perception. Despite rich variety, contemporary extensions have been rarely investigated within the scope of visual perception and context relationship. This paper is among the few works that investigate contemporary extensions using approaches of visual perception and context relationship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, I present a novel corpus investigation of quantified and negated objects in the Middle English and Early Modern English period, which is embedded within the wider language change scenario from linear OV to linear VO in the history of English. It will be shown that evidence for preverbal positioning of such objects is mostly limited to translated texts in Middle English in the PPCME2 corpus, and that by late Middle English, most of the hits consist of negated elements, as shown in the PCEEC corpus, which consists of native texts. The different constraints governing spell out of positive objects in Old English and Middle English are discussed and compared to the licensing of negated and quantified objects. The data provided in this paper constitute further evidence for Ingham's (2000, 2002, 2007) analysis of preposed negated objects in late ME and their correlation with the Negative Cycle, and complement previous investigations on negated and quantified objects in Middle English and Early Modern English.

Wetlands provide significant ecosystem services yet are ranked among some of the most imperiled habitats. To maximize prioritization of these habitats a better understanding of the full range of ecosystem functions is needed, starting with an examination of how coastal wetlands have been portrayed in restoration literature to date. This study consists of a literature review and the use of automated topic analyses aimed at (1) summarizing the current research related to coastal wetland restoration, (2) identifying the key fields of research, and (3) identifying research efforts connecting restoration and climate adaptation strategies (e.g. blue carbon). Of the 702 papers sourced for this analysis, most studies were conducted in North America and Europe. An increase in articles considering wetland restoration was found from 1985 to October 2020, with 40% of the research published just in the last triennia (2018–2020). Topic division highlights the emergence of studies related to management under climate change (e.g. sea level rise, adaptive management) and to carbon sequestration as separate fields of research from classical ecological studies. This reveals the need to ensure that classical ecological research is not neglected by work relating to climate strategies, which depend upon an accurate understanding of ecological processes.

LAKE restoration ,LITERATURE reviews ,EARLY modern English literature ,WATER depth ,SUSTAINABLE development ,EUTROPHICATION - Abstract
Lake water has been impaired with nutrients due to the synergic action of human-made activities and climate change. This situation is increasing eutrophication around the globe faster than before, causing water degradation, loss of its uses, and water-associated economic and health effects. Following the Sustainable Development Goal 6, more precisely its target 6.6, nations are already behind schedule in protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems (i.e., rivers and lakes). As concerns with eutrophication are escalating, eutrophic water remediation practices are the keys for restoring those lake waters. Diverse methodologies have been investigated focusing on the nutrient that limit primary productivity (i.e., phosphorus), but few have been applied to in-lake eutrophic water remediation. Thus, the objective of this paper is to provide an overview and critical comments on approaches and practices for facing eutrophic lake water remediation. Information on the successful cases and possible challenges/difficulties in the peer-reviewed literature are presented. This should be useful for supporting further remediation project selection by the stakeholders involved. In summary, for a successful and durable restoration project, external nutrient inputs need to be managed, followed by holistic and region-specific methods to attenuate internal legacy nutrients that are continually released into the water column from the sediment. When aligned well with stakeholder participation and continuous monitoring, these tools are the keys to long-lasting water restoration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Knowledge of the costs involved to implement a restoration project is imperative to most cost‐effectively allocate restoration funds, aid the prioritization of efforts, minimize waste, and conceive realistic objectives. When integrated with information regarding ecological and other socioeconomic indicators, consistent and complete cost‐reporting not only informs evaluations of overall project success but also aids practitioners and academics alike to assess the suitability of restoration innovations prior to implementation. Yet, despite awareness of the lack of cost information in restoration literature for at least 30 years, cost reporting, and thus analysis of cost variability, is still rare. This study discusses the results of a literature review and questionnaire conducted with grassland restoration practitioners internationally in order to better understand the costs related to grassland restoration, and to attempt to explain sources of variability in cost data. Only 12 scientific papers reporting cost data were retrieved, and although widely distributed, only 15 responses to the survey were registered. Northern hemisphere temperate grassland restoration projects dominated. Costs for grassland restoration were extremely variable, with costs of individual restoration activities/phases ranging from a few dollars to thousands of dollars. This variation derives from the highly context‐dependent nature of ecological restoration. The lack of cost data may hinder implementation of broader scale restoration projects, and mechanisms should be sought to collect standardized information and make it better available.

16. The Merchant Of Venice: What Role Does Its Modern Adaptations Play?

FATHERS ,FILM adaptations ,MERCHANTS ,EARLY modern English literature - Abstract
This paper studies on the relationship between Shylock and Jessica in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, and how this father/daughter relationship has been slightly modified on screen and in text in two important adaptations of Shakespeare's play. These two modern adaptations of The Merchant of Venice are John Sichel's film which was produced in 1973 and Arnold Wesker's play The Merchant (1977). The paper argues that both adaptations tried to soften the severity of Jessica's and Shylock's relationship in Shakespeare's original play. This was done by either showing direct or indirect signs of closeness between the father and his daughter. To highlight this idea, the paper will first contextualize The Merchant of Venice in order to understand why the Jewish characters were depicted in what seemed as a negative way in Shakespeare's text, and second it will study the reasons and the methods used by both Wesker and Sichel to create more appropriate versions where the family's ties between Shylock and Jessica are stronger. By highlighting these two aspects, the paper concludes that these interventions were not aiming to create better versions of Shakespeare's original text, but to simply appropriate Shakespeare's original play to the modern audience.

This paper is a close study of early modern women's poetry on childbirth and the imminent circumstances of maternal and foetal/infantile mortality in seventeenth century England. In tracing the development of women's post-partum mental health from the medieval to the early modern period, this paper argues for a serious investment in literature composed as memoirs, poetry, diaries and funeral sermons as a means of understanding the trajectories and lacunae in women's mental health in the early modern period. This study also argues for including the religious experience into any consideration of women's post-partum health and therapeutic interventions. Lastly, it shows how affect studies have proved the recuperative potential in literature of consolation and mourning so that women's writing begins to get recognized for its interventionist potential rather than a fossilized historical treatment as it has often received.

Mangrove restoration involves complex decision-making processes and can often lack adequate stakeholder engagement and empowerment to inform effective restoration outcomes. Decision science has the potential to overcome such challenges by facilitating structured approaches to make informed, participatory, and defensible decisions through the use of decision-support frameworks and tools. In this paper, we conduct a bibliometric and scoping review of peer-reviewed scientific literature to identify how decision science has been applied to advise mangrove restoration efforts and the extent to which social, economic, and ecological variables have been used to inform these studies. We find a steady increase in the number of mangrove restoration studies that employ decision science from 1990 to 2022, with an annual growth rate of 4.4%. We identified over 300 decision support tools used in mangrove restoration literature. Spatial data was the most documented tool to support mangrove studies. We also find that most papers focused on ecological variables (85.5%), while social (27.2%) and economic (15.1%) variables received less attention. Studies that used decision support frameworks were also sparse, where the most featured framework was Systematic Conservation Planning. The number of studies explicitly incorporating social and economic variables was limited, and there was also a scarcity of studies incorporating variables associated with governance. Regardless of the dominance of ecological variables, this review highlights a shift towards incorporating social dimensions into decision tools, emphasizing concepts like vulnerability to climate change, ecosystem services, and social benefits. Collaboration among countries, scientists, and practitioners is crucial to operationalise a socio-ecological framework within decision science. Enhancing the utility of scientific research for practitioners remains a critical goal in addressing the challenges faced by mangrove restoration projects globally. • The use of decision frameworks is infrequent in the mangrove restoration literature. • There is a recent shift from ecological-based decision tools to include social variables. • Mangrove restoration decision science overlooks governance and economic variables. • Scientists commonly support mangrove restoration decisions using spatial data. • Collaboration is crucial for decision science with a socioecological lens.

The history of English spelling is an eventful one, from Old English with an almost one-to-one sound-to-spelling relationship, to Modern English, notorious for its sound-to-spelling unpredictability. In between lies a vast period characterised by immense spelling variability, reflecting the cumulative effect of dialectal variation and lack of uniformity, additionally compounded by the mode of text transmission in the manuscript culture, whose characteristics were adopted in a wholesale fashion into the culture of early print. In effect, early printed books present a rich kaleidoscope of spelling variants, which -- not infrequently -- co-occur on the same page or even in the same line of a printed text. This paper addresses the issue of this variability with a view to measuring in mathematical terms the degree of internal spelling variation within a text and showing that much of the spelling variation is associated with compositors as agents in the printing process. The analysis of internal spelling variation is based on George Joye's 1534 English translation of the Psalms printed in Antwerp and aims at identifying parts of the text which are similar or different in terms of spellings by applying cosine similarity measurements performed on individual quires of the publication.

The aim of this paper is to discuss Alexandre Gefen's essay published in 2017 in which the researcher presents the panorama of latest French prose in the perspective of responsibility for the world and fixing it. The author notes that Gefen also discusses texts from the two last decades of the 20th century, which shows that it was in that period that French writers started to take interest in the human identity and relationship with the world. One of the important genres analyzed by Gefen is autobiography, wellestablished in the French literary tradition. Another significant matter is the current transformation of literary practices, of the position of the writer and the reader, and of the publishing market, which Gefen also analyzes from the perspective of restoration and therapeutic literature that should care for the readers and heal them. Gefen's essay is presented as a text encouraging its reader to reflect deeply on the condition of the contemporary world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reviews the literature on the factors that may influence the proximal contour when using direct composite restoration to restore Class II cavities. An ideal contour between two adjacent teeth is necessary to maintain tooth position and dentition stability, provide a food spillway, and facilitate hygienic cleaning. Defective proximal contour will contribute to food impaction and restrict interdental cleaning, resulting in periodontal issues and recurrent caries. Using sectional matrix systems with stiffer band and separation rings is an effective method to create optimal proximal contour compared to flat contour when using circumferential matrix systems.

FOURTEENTH century ,MODERN literature ,HINDI films ,HISTORIANS ,NATIONALISTS ,POETS ,EARLY modern English literature - Abstract
Scholars have rightly questioned the periodization of early modern Hindi literature (fourteenth to mid-nineteenth century) into two major thematic and temporal categories, often described as binaries: an early bhaktikāl (era of devotion), and the later rītikāl (era of mannerism). It is now common to understand bhakti and rīti as complementary modes of poetic expression rather than oppositional styles that poets had to identify with entirely. This paper uses the perspective of poet-saints (sants) to argue that, although the sants share many features with the rīti poets in terms of genres and register, they diverge fundamentally from them on the topic of the proper motives of composing verse. The criticism that the sants register with selected rīti themes – conflicts which would later figure in the writings of Hindi literary historians in the nationalist era – can be seen as anticipating the modern bhakti versus rīti distinction.

STREAM restoration ,EARLY modern English literature ,INDUSTRIAL pollution ,HABITAT modification ,ACID mine drainage ,DAM retirement ,LITERATURE reviews - Abstract
Stream and river restoration practices have become common in many parts of the world. To answer the question whether such restoration measures improve freshwater biotic assemblages or functions over time, and if not, can general reasons be identified for such outcomes, we conducted a literature survey and review of studies in which different types of stream restorations were conducted and outcomes assessed. In the first paper, we reviewed studies of culvert restorations, acid mine drainage or industrial pollution restoration; and urban stream restoration projects. Here, we review studies of restoration via dam removal, changes in dam operation or fish passage structures; instream habitat modification; riparian restoration or woody material addition; channel restoration and multiple restoration measures and develop some general conclusions from these reviews. Biomonitoring in different studies detected improvements for some restoration measures; other studies found minimal or no statistically significant increases in biotic assemblage richness, abundances or functions. In some cases, untreated stressors may have influenced the outcomes of the restoration, but in many cases, there were mismatches in the temporal or spatial scale of the restoration measure undertaken and associated monitoring. For example, either biomonitoring to measure restoration effects was conducted over a too short a time period after restoration for effects to be observed, or the sources and stressors needing remediation occurred at a larger catchment scale than the restoration. Also, many restoration measures lack observations from unimpaired reference sites for use in predicting how much of a beneficial effect might be expected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

28. ‘Rais'd from a Dunghill, to a King's Embrace’: Restoration Verse Satires on Nell Gwyn as Life Writing.

VERSE satire ,LIFE writing ,ARTISTS & theater ,EARLY modern English literature - Abstract
Nell Gwyn (1650–1687), one of the very early theatre actresses on the Restoration stage and long-term mistress to King Charles II, has today become a popular cultural icon, revered for her wit and good-naturedness. The image of Gwyn that emerges from Restoration satires, by contrast, is considerably more critical of the king's actress-mistress. It is this image, arising from satiric references to and verse lives of Nell Gwyn, which forms the focus of this paper. Creating an image—a ‘likeness’—of the subject is often cited as one of the chief purposes of biography. From the perspective of biography studies, this paper will probe to what extent Restoration verse satire can be read as life-writing and where it can be situated in the context of other seventeenth century life-writing forms. It will examine which aspects of Gwyn's life and character the satires address and what these choices reveal about the purposes of satire as a form of biographical storytelling. Gwyn's case, it will be argued, demonstrates that Restoration verse satire, which participates in many of the biographical conventions of the period, ought to be revaluated as a site of early modern life-writing.

Habitat loss is a primary driver of global biodiversity decline, negatively impacting many species, including native bees. One approach to counteract the consequences of habitat loss is through restoration, which includes the transformation of degraded or damaged habitats to increase biodiversity. In this review, we survey bee habitat restoration literature over the last 14 years to provide insights into how best to promote bee diversity and abundance through the restoration of natural landscapes in North America. We highlight relevant questions and concepts to consider throughout the various stages of habitat restoration projects, categorizing them into pre-, during-, and post-restoration stages. We emphasize the importance of planning speciesand site-specific strategies to support bees, including providing floral and non-floral resources and increasing nest site availability. Lastly, we underscore the significance of conducting evaluations and long-term monitoring following restoration efforts. By identifying effective restoration methods, success indicators, and areas for future research, our review presents a comprehensive framework that can guide land managers during this urgent time for bee habitat restoration.

Earlier studies dealing with the cultural history of Hungary in the early modern period say disproportionately little about the literacy of the female orders, although the nuns were the initiators of codex culture in Hungary. The role of the Dominican, the Franciscan Clarist, the Premonstratensian and other nuns in musical history is almost unexplored, albeit sources prove that a prospering musical literacy took place in these women's scriptoria. To support this statement, it is enough to cite as an example the 16th century Premonstratensian Cantionale from the Szeged monastery with its exciting content and various handwritings. Among the musical notations appearing in this paper plainchant source, our research has explored one special, professionally executed musical writing, which can be linked to a series of previously examined, hitherto unidentified notated codex fragments. This study shows how musical paleographic analysis collates these fragments with the Cantionale, and how this connection sheds light on an unknown musical notation tradition of the Hungarian Premonstratensians. Basically, we can make two important observations: 1.) According to this medieval source material, the Hungarian Premonstratensians, who settled in the first half of the 12th century in Hungary, and undertook pastoral duties serving the Hungarian population around the monasteries, were very strongly related to the local liturgical tradition. As the sources show, they for example notated their liturgical codices in Esztergom notation. 2.) At the beginning of the 16th century, however, a breakup can be observed. The Premonstratensian nuns seemed to have moved away from the Hungarian customs (and from Esztergom musical notation) and found their way to their French roots. The end of the 15th century was marked by monastic reforms throughout Europe: the French Premontré also renewed and reorganized the life of the order, and issued a central directive for the filial monasteries. The implementation of the reform in Hungary was strikingly emphasized, and not by accident. II. Ulászló's chancellor, Tamás Bakócz took advantage of it: he could strengthen his own influence in church politics. Bakócz assigned an important role to the Premonstratensian nuns in his political strategy, which also affected their musical literacy, as confirmed by our musical analysis. The Ottoman invasion in the mid-16th century finally put an end to all these initiatives. The Premonstratensian nuns fled the country. The canonesses did not return to Hungary for 400 years.

In this paper, an iterative adaptive unsymmetric trimmed shock filter based on partial differential equations (PDE) is proposed to remove high-density salt-and-pepper noise by preserving the edge details in the images. This algorithm consists of two steps: identification of pixels affected by the salt-and-pepper noise and recovery of these noisy pixels using adaptive unsymmetric trimmed shock filter. Shock filter has been used in image processing literature for image restoration and enhancement task. However, its use was limited to unwanted noise removal, enhancement, despeckling, etc. In the proposed work, a modified form of shock filter termed as adaptive unsymmetric trimmed shock filter is designed to remove the salt-and-pepper noise. The proposed algorithm is tested with different test images. Three performance evaluation measures: PSNR, CR and MSSIM are used to validate the proposed scheme. The performance of the proposed algorithm claims better results than the other considered eight existing state-of-the-art techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle, can be called many things: writer, poet, philosopher, woman, Royalist, eccentric rule-breaker, scientific collaborator, utopian thinker, and the list goes on. Unfortunately, access to her writings, typically her The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing World, are often limited in academic settings to courses centered on the seventeenth century, early modern utopian literature, Restoration literature, and possibly an early modern women writers class. Though these are all wonderful course topics, they are often upper-division courses specifically designed for English majors of the early modern period. Limiting Cavendish to only these courses means that most university students will not come across her texts, even if their institution requires at least one English elective course. Furthermore, Cavendish tends to be excluded from entry-level English courses because these courses are often designed around contemporary themes and texts that target students from diverse academic disciplines and non-English fields of study. Additionally, Cavendish is often seen as inaccessible to a wide audience because her writing style and philosophical experimentations can be difficult to process. In typical English classes, student understanding of literature is often assessed by requiring them to write academic essays that adhere to a very traditional structure, which can be intimidating to non-English majors. In order to introduce Cavendish to a broader student body, this essay will examine teaching her texts through multi-modal, student-centered, creative pedagogy using digital, visual, written, and verbal expressions that go beyond the traditional academic essay. A more diverse pedagogical approach to teaching Cavendish ensures that she can be read alongside, and in conversation with, more contemporary writers and texts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

NUMERACY ,POPULAR works in mathematics ,EARLY modern English literature ,SEVENTEENTH century ,SIXTEENTH century ,INTELLECTUAL life - Abstract
In print and manuscript, readers in early modern Britain engaged with mathematics within the broader context of a popular literary culture. Arithmetic and numeracy were read and written within an emergent vernacular English literature, whether as literary genres or as annotations and sums written alongside other works in the margins. Taking instructional texts, copybooks, and popular serials as its focus, this paper explores the characteristics of popular numeracy in early modern Britain. This paper was first delivered at the conference 'Numeracy: historical, philosophical, and educational perspectives' at St Anne's College, Oxford, in December 2009. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper delves into the corpus of English literature written from the early middle ages to the present age to study the attitudes of English writers toward the Messenger Muḥammad (peace be on him) and examines how they varied during various literary ages in the English Literature. This paper argues that the image of the Messenger Muḥammad (peace be on him) passed through two phases in the English Literature. The paper shows that the image of the Messenger Muhammad (peace be on him) which was created in early mediaeval times continued through the Elizabethan period without much change, which do popup every now and then in the western media and literary works even in the contemporary times. On the other hand, new literary images of the Messenger Muhammad (peace be on him) which started emerging in the Victorian era are recurring in the Modern times with some ups and downs. The paper closes with the plea to western academy to do more academic efforts for making a truthful image of the Messenger Muḥammad (peace be on him) necessary for a meaningful dialogue of civilisations and for better Muslim Christian relations.

Stream and river restoration practices have become common in many parts of the world. We ask the question whether such restorations improve freshwater biotic assemblages or functions over time, and if not, can general reasons be identified for such outcomes. We conducted a literature survey and review of studies in which different types of stream restorations were conducted and outcomes reported. These restoration types included culvert restoration; acid mine restoration or industrial pollutant restoration; urban stream restoration; dam removal, changes in dam operation, or fish passage structures; instream habitat modification; riparian restoration or woody material addition; channel restoration and multiple restorations. The streams ranged from headwater streams to large rivers, and the regions included North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and a small number of sites in Asia and Africa. In this part of the review, we describe the methods used for the review and present reviews for the first three types of stream restorations. For culvert restorations, the small sample size and variable study design and biotic responses limited generalizing about temporal and spatial scale effects for that restoration type. The complex and often lengthy time to restore streams from acid mine drainage and industrial pollutants often resulted in positive biotic responses, but restored sites had reduced responses compared with reference sites. Most urban stream restorations had minimal or mixed improvements in biotic responses, with one mismatch in spatial scale evidenced by hydraulic structures used in a restoration unable to withstand peak discharge.
