The beautiful focus of this film is a quilt made in c.1890 in Swaledale and its journey through the generations of a family and on to the Quilters’ Guild collection in the early twenty-first century. It conveys how textiles hold powerful emotions for their makers and the relatives who have inherited them, and communicates the pleasures of hand quilting in the past and today. It also shows how inherited objects offer insights into our history, reflecting on the way inherited quilts provide insights into changing regional patterns of women’s work and lives. With Deborah McGuire and Joanne Begiato.

This archive contains indicative distribution maps and profiles for T4.5 Temperate subhumid grasslands, a ecosystem functional group (EFG, level 3) of the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology (v2.1). Please refer to Keith et al. (2020) and Keith et al. (2022) for details. The descriptive profiles provide brief summaries of key ecological traits and processes, maps are indicative of global distribution patterns, and are not intended to represent fine-scale patterns. The maps show areas of the world containing major (value of 1, coloured red) or minor occurrences (value of 2, coloured yellow) of each ecosystem functional group. Minor occurrences are areas where an ecosystem functional group is scattered in patches within matrices of other ecosystem functional groups or where they occur in substantial areas, but only within a segment of a larger region. Given bounds of resolution and accuracy of source data, the maps should be used to query which EFG are likely to occur within areas, rather than which occur at particular point locations. Detailed methods and references for the maps are included in the profile (xml format).

Abstract Background Jumping and specific multidirectional repeated sprint ability are important in basketball. The objective of this study was to assess the contributions of 8-week combined versus single-mode training programs based on drop jump (DJ) and specific multidirectional repeated sprint (MRSA) on repeated sprint ability performances, body balance and lower limbs power in male professional basketball players. Methods This study followed a randomized parallel study design. Fifty-two professional male basketball players from the Tunisian first division participated in this study. The players were randomly assigned to 4 groups: DJ group (JG; n = 13), MRSA group (RSG; n = 13), combined group (COMB; n = 13) and an active control group (CON; n = 13). The JG, RSG and COMB groups completed the 8-week training programs with 2 sessions per week while the CON continues their regular basketball training. Training volume was similar between groups all over the experimental period. Before and after the intervention, the four groups were evaluated for the stork test, Y-balance test, the repeated sprint ability test (IRSA5COD), the squat jump (SJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ) tests, the single leg drop jump test, the five time-jump test and T—change of direction (CoD) test. Results All measures displayed significant main effect, (medium/small) magnitude (effect size) improvements for time (post-test > pre-test) except the physiological parameters for IRSA5COD. Significant time × group interactions were revealed for body balance, T test, IRSA5COD (total time and best time) and jump tests (vertical/horizontal). Bonferroni corrected post-hoc tests revealed significant greater improvement in favor of RSG and COMB compared to JG for body balance, CoD and IRSA5COD. Moreover, greater improvement in CMJ, SJ and single leg DJ in favor of JG compared to the RSG. In addition, a greater CoD improvement was observed in favor of COMB when compared to the RSG. Conclusion Combined and single-mode training programs based on DJ and MRSA contributed to a significantly better performance in specific basketball physical fitness parameters with results favoring combined interventions.

While microbial communities in the human body (microbiota) are now commonly associated with health and disease in Industrialised populations, we know very little about how these communities co-evolved with humans throughout history and deep prehistory. We can now examine these communities by sequencing ancient DNA preserved within calcified dental plaque (calculus), providing insights into the origins of disease and their links to human history. Here, we examine ancient DNA preserved within dental calculus samples and their associations with two major cultural periods in Japan: the Jomon period hunter–gatherers approximately 3000 BP (years before present) and the Edo period agriculturalists 400–150 BP. We investigate how human oral microbiomes have changed in Japan through time and explore the presence of microorganisms associated with oral diseases (e.g. periodontal disease, dental caries) in ancient Japanese populations. Finally, we explore oral microbial strain diversity and its potential links to ancient demography in ancient Japan by performing phylogenomic analysis of a key oral species—Anaerolineaceae oral taxa 439. This research represents the first study of ancient oral microbiomes from Japan and demonstrates that the analysis of ancient dental calculus can provide key information about the origin of non-infectious disease and its deep roots with human demography.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Insights into health and disease from ancient biomolecules’.

Este proyecto presenta el desarrollo de una aplicación que permite extraer datos de los mensajes de las redes sociales, concretamente en la red social llamada Twitter. Todos los mensajes publicados tienen un rango de difusión que define si han llegado a más o menos usuarios de esta red, sin importar el tipo de contenido de un tweet : político, social, personal, publicitario. Todos tienen la intención de transmitir información a los demás usuarios. Este proyecto será la herramienta que permitirá a una persona experta en sociología, o en el ámbito del estudio del comportamiento de las personas, analizar el impacto de un tweet, pues esta herramienta utilizará la librería Tweepy, una librería oficial de Twitter Developer Platform para extraer toda la información posible mediante la introducción del enlace de un tweet. Aquest projecte presenta el desenvolupament d'una aplicació que permet extreure dades dels missatges de les xarxes socials, concretament a la xarxa social anomenada Twitter. Tots els missatges publicats tenen un rang de difusió que defineix si han arribat a més o menys usuaris d'aquesta xarxa, sense importar el tipus de contingut d'un tweet: polític, social, publicitari o personal. Tots amb la intenció de transmetre informació als altres usuaris.

This project presents the development of an application that allows data extraction from network messages of social networks, specifically in the social network called Twitter. All messages published have a diffusion range that defines whether they have reached more or fewer users of this network, regardless of the content type's tweet: political, social, advertising or personal. Which all are intended to communicate information on to other users. This project will be the tool that will allow an expert in sociology, or in the field of studying people's behavior, to analyze the impact of a tweet, as this tool will use the Tweepy library, an official Twitter Developer Platform library to extract as much information as possible by entering the link of a tweet.

AusCinema is based on information about the location of film exhibition in Australia in the period from 1948 to 1971. It uses information from the Annual Reports of Film Weekly, Australia’s national trade publication from its 1948/49 edition until it ceased publication in 1971. Each year, Film Weekly published a comprehensive list of screening venues, along with seating capacity and operator.This is an important time of transition in film exhibition. At the end of WW2, the cinema was a dominant form of leisure and entertainment. Following this a number of factors such as suburbanisation, the baby boom, the introduction of television and the expansion of alternative leisure activities caused radical readjustments in cinema exhibition.Date coverage: 1948 - 1971Time period: Currently 1948 - 1971 but will be expanded to include 1938 - 1947Location: Australia
