Le réseau hydraulique à Pompéi (Italie) de l’époque des Samnites à Auguste (fin ive-fin ier s. av. J.-C.) by Federico Giletti

“…While the latter type appears equally in both private and public contexts, the burrow cistern by contrast differs in that it is excavated entirely into the lava stratum and has been demonstrated, as far as we currently know, only on the main outcrops of the lava plateau, such as on the rocky crest of the southern drop in height below insula 2 of Regio VIII.While the type of cistern with a burrow or bainhole seems to have been inspired by models already widespread in Punic-Carthaginian sites in Africa and on the islands and in the Magna-Greek area, cases of cisterns with a burrow collected to several arms primarily bear strong similarities to Etruscan-Latian examples, as does the technique of drainage tunnels entirely excavated in the geological bank and the custom of digging deep artesian wells. …”

Micro nutrients as immunomodulators in the ageing population: a focus on inflammation and autoimmunity by Bhavani Sowndharya Balamurugan, Mathan Muthu Chinnakannu Marimuthu, Vickram Agaram Sundaram, Bharath Saravanan, Prasanth Chandrababu, Hitesh Chopra, Tabarak Malik

“…For example, it points out the modulatory effects of vitamin D on both innate and adaptive immunity, with a specific focus on its ability to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines synthesis while enhancing regulatory T-cell function. In the same context, also zinc is described as important nutrient for thymic function and T-cell differentiation but exhibits immunomodulatory functions by decreasing inflammation. …”

Comparison and theoretical conceptualization analysis of statistical methods used to develop heat vulnerability indices in urban areas by Thomas Lagelouze, Julia Hidalgo, Mitia Aranda, Guillaume Dumas

“… In view of the impact of extreme temperatures on physical and psychological health, particularly in urban areas, several studies have focused on assessing social vulnerability using quantitative indexing approaches with the aim of creating a heat vulnerability index (HVI). In this context, this study employs three statistical methodologies frequently used to construct HVIs on the territory of the Toulouse Métropole, France, at the census block (IRIS) scale to assess the efficiency of this type of approach for evaluating social vulnerability in urban environments considering the current theoretical conceptualization. …”
