Developing Community Engagement in Icelandic Maritime Archaeology (2025)

The monitoring and management of underwater sites in Iceland is severely deficient, due to various factors. Globally, underwater cultural heritage managers are increasingly turning towards community engagement as a way of addressing the many challenges they face, and there are many sources available on their approach and findings due to this. There are however less sources on the issues and the problems faced, and if they are possible to overcome. This chapter aims to address the reality of begi

Maritime Archaeology in Northern Patagonia (2023)

The area between Bahía San Blas and Carmen de Patagones (Southern Buenos Aires Province, Argentina) has been of great historical importance from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries: notably, a key sailing route connecting Buenos Aires and Montevideo with harbors of Patagonia. However, the documentary sources on shipwrecks are relatively scarce and no previous work on maritime archaeology was available for the mentioned area. Novel studies reveal that the region has much more information t

African Maritime Archaeology (2021)

The continent of Africa has had a lengthy involvement in global maritime affairs and archaeological research with Middle Stone Age people using marine resources on the coasts of southern Africa, the Classical Pharos lighthouse of Alexandria, and Medieval Indian Ocean trade on the Swahili coast to the Atlantic triangular slave trade. Maritime archaeology is the identification and interpretation of physical traces left by people who use the seas and oceans. Middle Stone Age sites in South Africa s

Novel active-feedback device improves sleep quality in insomnia disorder: a randomized placebo-controlled trial (2025)

ObjectivesInsomnia disorder is a public health challenge associated with impaired cognitive functioning, reduced quality of life, and adverse mental health outcomes. This study examined the effectiveness of SleepCogni, an active-feedback device, in reducing insomnia symptom severity and improving perceived sleep quality in individuals with insomnia disorder.MethodA two-arm, parallel-group trial design was used, with 80 participants randomized to either the experimental group or the placebo contr

Early sleep intervention for improving infant sleep quality: a randomized controlled trial, preliminary result (2024)

Abstract Background Healthy sleep issues should provide to family within first 6 months of infant’s life. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of early sleep intervention on nighttime sleep quality. Methods Eligible infants aged 4 months ± 2 weeks were randomized to receive early sleep intervention or usual care. Data on sleep variables were obtained via parental interview at baseline and 6 months of age. Using log

Effect of material type and thickness of occlusal splints on maximum bite force and sleep quality in patients with sleep bruxism: A randomized controlled clinical trial (2022)

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the short-term effects of hard and soft splints of different thicknesses on maximum bite force (MBF) and sleep quality (SQ) in participants with sleep bruxism (SB). Methods: One-hundred-fifteen patients were randomly allocated to five groups: Groups H2(Hard splint-2 mm), H3(Hard splint-3 mm), S2(Soft splint-2 mm), S3(Soft splint-3 mm), and C (control). Outcomes were MBF (assessed with a digital gnathodynamometer) and SQ (assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep

Connecting Sunken Actors: Social Network Analysis in Maritime Archaeology (2023)

AbstractThe concept of a “social network” has become a popular term thanks to online tools such as Facebook or Twitter, allowing us to connect with everyone. Specific to archaeology, social network analysis (SNA) is well established as a method, but its theoretical application in maritime archaeology is an incipient initiative. This paper presents the use of SNA in maritime archaeology as a potential instrument to reinterpret underwater sites by integrating spatial and nonspatial patterns of cul

Effect of music on objective sleep quality in older inpatients: A randomized controlled trial (2022)

Abstract Background: This study examined the effect of listening to music on objective sleep quality in older Japanese inpatients.Methods: This unblinded, randomized controlled parallel trial included inpatients (age ≥ 65 years) who had symptoms associated with pneumonia or heart failure and were enrolled from April 2016 to October 2017. Patients were randomly assigned to either the music or the control group. The randomization was stratified according to sex and the use of sleeping pill

The Compatibility of Thermal and Acoustic Insulation in the Façades External Renovation in Residential Buildings (2024)

In recent years, a significant economic effort has been made in the refurbishment and energy improvement of buildings, which should be used to improve their acoustics performance. It is necessary to avoid energy improvement from deteriorating the pre-existing acoustic performance prior to the refurbishment. In this work, an analysis of the acoustic insulation of the façades of enclosures in residential buildings is carried out in which the thermal insulation of the blind part of the façade is im
