Intentional dental modification was observed in Pre-Latte and Latte Period bioarchaeological samples from western Micronesia. These purposeful cultural alterations include multilinear incisions and horizontal abrading of labial tooth surfaces in the Mariana Islands and tooth blackening in Palau. To understand the biological impacts of intentional modification, over ten pre-European Contact (before AD 1521) dental samples from the Mariana Islands were examined to test for a correlation between intentionally modified teeth and two indicators of oral-dental health: caries and periapical abscesses. Although differences in data collection methods and poor bone preservation prevented the use of both indicators across the board, preliminary results indicate that horizontal abrading in at least one sample appears to be associated with carious lesions while dental incising is not.

This study tests the hypothesis that thearrival of Europeans in Jamestown, Virginia, hada negative impact on the dental health of nativepopulations in the Chesapeake Bay. Data werecollected on three variables—dental caries, periapicallesions, and antemortem tooth loss—in a sample of 644individuals from four prehistoric (n = 500) and twocontact era ossuaries (n = 144) from the Potomac Creeksite in Virginia (44ST2). Statistical analysis reveals atrend of declining dental health for the post-contactsample (chi-square; P<0.05). The temporally latestossuary had the highest prevalence of all indicators.There is also a trend toward poor dental health forfemales relative to males. In particular, females havea higher prevalence of carious lesions and antemortemtooth loss than males. Sex differences in dental healthprobably correspond to sex-based differences in foodproduction and preparation in this setting, sincefemales likely ate more cariogenic foods. Multiplefactors likely explain the general pattern of decline indental health, including: (1) a change in diet involvinggreater consumption of carbohydrates, (2) increasedexposure to infectious pathogens, (3) warfare andother forms of conflict, (4) strain on resources, and(5) increased population density.

RepeAT includes 103 unique variables grouped into five categories (research design and aim, database and data collection methods, data mining and data cleaning, data analysis, data sharing and documentation). Preliminary results in manually processing 40 scientific manuscripts indicate components of the proposed framework with strong inter-rater reliability, as well as directions for further research and refinement of RepeAT.

AbstractHumans on earth need social interaction with others. Humans can use more than one language in communication. Thus, the impact that arises when the use of one or more languages is the contact between languages. One obvious form of contact between languages is interference. Interference can occur at all levels of life. As in this study, namely Indonesian Language Interference in Learning PPL Basic Thailand Unhasy Students. This study contains the form of interference that occurs in Thai students who are conducting teaching practices in the classroom. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research that seeks to describe any interference that occurs in the speech of Thai students when teaching practice. Data collection methods in this study are (1) observation techniques, (2) audio-visual recording techniques using CCTV and (3) recording techniques, by recording all data that has been obtained. Whereas the data wetness uses, (1) data triangulation, (2) improvement in perseverance and (3) peer review through discussion. Data analysis techniques in this study are (1) data collection, (2) data reduction, (3) data presentation and (4) conclusions. It can be seen that the interference that occurs includes (1) interference in phonological systems, (2) interference in morphological systems and (3) interference in syntactic systems.

Results of the food consumption surveys are utilized in many areas, such as for example risk assessment, cognition of consumer trends, health education and planning of prevention projects. Standardization of national consumption data for international comparison is an important task. The intention work began in the 1970s. Because of the widespread utilization of food consumption data, many international projects have been done with the aim of their harmonization. The present study shows data collection methods for groups of the food consumption data, their utilization, furthermore, the stations of the international harmonization works in details. The authors underline that for the application of the food consumption data on the international level, it is crucial to harmonize the surveys’ parameters (e.g. time of data collection, method, number of participants, number of the analysed days and the age groups). For this purpose the efforts of the EU menu project, started in 2012, are promising. Orv. Hetil., 2012, 153, 1692–1700.

The aim of this study is to investigate how the African novelists have domesticated the English language to suit their environments, experience and purpose. Specifically, the literary pieces – The Last of the Strong Ones (Strong Ones), House of Symbols (symbols), Children of the Eagle (Children) and the Trafficked of Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo were x-rayed. This exploration adopted the Hallidian Systemic Functional Linguistics, which highlights how language is used. The textual method of data analysis, the primary and secondary data collection methods were employed and the results showed that the African literary artists in general and the Igbo Nigerian novelists in particular have taken on a unique style of writing in the African vernacular style. For that reason, the speeches of the characters are laced with dignified local appositives, high profile Igbo songs and tales, studded local proverbs, lexical transfers, ritzy transliterations and so on; and these have given African rhythm to the English language. This notwithstanding, the aura, glamour and credibility of the English language as the medium of communication are retained.
