Stigmatization of people with mental illness – a matter of milieu-specific worldviews? Results from a population-based survey in Germany by Jenny Spahlholz, Eva Baumann, Sven Speerforck, Sven Speerforck, Christian Sander, Christian Sander, Matthias C. Angermeyer, Georg Schomerus, Georg Schomerus

“…However, the extent of differentiation between the milieu groups was less pronounced regarding the desire for social distance towards people with schizophrenia than towards people with depression.ConclusionOur findings suggest that socio-cultural and socioeconomic dimensions of the society can be used for both describing heterogeneous societies and illuminating the underlying social structure of stigma. In addition to making blind spots more visible (i.e., schizophrenia), milieu-specific knowledge could be useful in deciding which intervention components are most appropriate for which milieu groups and how to apply them successfully.…”

Les siphons en terre cuite du monde romain : l’exemple de l’aqueduc d’Almuñécar (Andalousie, Espagne) by Elena H. Sánchez López

“…From the analysis of this structure, both through archaeological remains and medieval descriptions of the city, we can conclude that the siphon system had two remarkable technical peculiarities: it was a double siphon, where the two sections connected through a columnaria, an air elimination device located at the most problematic point in the layout of the water piping; and the pressure pipes were made of terracotta.The chosen material matched the recommendations made by Vitruvius, since he concluded that, by comparison with lead pipes, terracotta pipes were cheaper, faster to repair, and guaranteed higher quality water.Despite Vitruvius’ advice, terracotta pipes do not seem to have been the favourite choice of Roman engineers, who also used lead and stone pipes. …”
