In particular, the gazetteer-like approach to geographical regions, while it permits a breadth of coverage that one almost never finds elsewhere, obscures the course of the fighting as seen from 30,000 feet above. Finally, it is meant as no criticism of the editors or contributors to reflect on some topics that receive relatively short shrift. One concerns ethnicity, for this remains, despite the pioneering contribution by Ilicak, and the coverage of European culture and philhellenism, very much a Greek story in which what it is to be Greek is by and large assumed rather than argued for. There are few Muslims in these pages, and the Albanian factor which was so critical throughout, multivalent and complex, falls by the wayside. Likewise, it would have been interesting to have had some consideration of language itself. We know enough about the period to know that the educated secretaries (grammatikoi), who served the leading chieftains, prettified the language they actually spoke; we know too that people commonly spoke more than one language, and often a complex lingua franca as well. Relatively little research exists on spoken communications during the Revolution – slang, curses, jokes, and oaths – so perhaps it is no surprise that it is not discussed here. Although there are chapters on the constitutional assemblies of the Revolution and on economics, much new work is appearing on both the emergence of quasi-modern administrative structures, as well as on the underlying economic imperatives that drove revolutionary decisions and governed military capabilities. We await more work on the agrarian economy, and on taxation as it operated in practice rather than in theory. Finally, and as importantly as anything, the volume says relatively little about popular religious beliefs, the Messianic strain that unquestionably helped shape Greek nationalism and drove the uprising. But it would be quite wrong to end on a carping note. This book is a remarkable achievement, beautifully produced and agreeably rendered into English, which will be an essential companion volume for all students of the Greek revolution for many years to come.","PeriodicalId":18431,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranean Historical Review","volume":"37 1","pages":"263 - 266"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42043729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The single-pulse diagnostic instrument is relatively mature in acquiring and analysing pulse waves, but the pulse information captured by single-pulse diagnostic instrument is limited. The sensor arrays can simulate rich sense of the doctor's fingers and catch multipoint and multiparameter array signals. How to analyse the acquired array signals is still a major problem in the objective research of pulse diagnosis. The goal of this study was to establish methods for analysing arrayed pulse waves and preliminarily apply them in hypertensive disorders. While a sensor array can be used for the real-time monitoring of twelve pulse wave channels, for each subject in this study, only the pulse wave signals of the left hand at the \"<i>guan</i>\" location were obtained. We calculated the average pulse wave (APW) per channel over a thirty-second interval. The most representative pulse wave (MRPW) and the APW were matched by their correlation coefficient (CC). The features of the MRPW and the features that corresponded to the array pulse volume (APV) parameters were identified manually. Finally, a clinical trial was conducted to detect these feature performance indicators in patients with hypertensive disorders. The independent-samples t-tests and the Mann-Whitney <i>U</i>-tests were performed to assess the differences in these pulse parameters between the healthy and hypertensive groups. We found that the radial passage (RP) APV _<i>h</i>1, APV _<i>h</i>3, APV _<i>h</i>4, APV _{<i>h</i>3/<i>h</i>1} (<i>P</i> < 0.01), and APV _{<i>h</i>4/<i>h</i>1} (<i>P</i> < 0.05) were significantly higher in the hypertensive group than in the healthy group; the intermediate passage (IP) APV _<i>h</i>4, APV _{<i>h</i>3/<i>h</i>1} (<i>P</i> < 0.05), and APV _{<i>h</i>4/<i>h</i>1} (<i>P</i> < 0.01) and t<i>h</i>e mean APV _<i>h</i>3, APV _{<i>h</i>3/<i>h</i>1} (<i>P</i> < 0.05), and APV _{<i>h</i>4/<i>h</i>1} (<i>P</i> < 0.01) were significantly higher in the hypertensive group than in the healthy group, and the ulnar passage (UP) APV _{<i>h</i>4/<i>h</i>1} (<i>P</i> < 0.05) was clearly elevated in the hypertensive group. These results provide a preliminary validation of this novel approach for determining the APV by arrayed pulse wave analysis. In conclusion, we identified effective indicators of hypertensive vascular function. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pulses comprise multidimensional information, and a sensor array could provide a better indication of TCM pulse characteristics. In this study, the validation of the arrayed pulse wave analysis demonstrates that the APV can reliably mirror TCM pulse characteristics.</p>","PeriodicalId":18431,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranean Historical Review","volume":"22 1","pages":"6652028"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8872656/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82088556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While Christopoulos hints that this stark approach altered the way abortions were seen in modern Italian society, his book leaves us wondering what we are to find on rummaging through archives of courts and hospitals; what remained privately tolerated though publicly condemned? A final note. Abortion in Early Modern Italy regards the state of affairs outside Italy only in passing. We may suppose that at least some of these patterns would be replicated in other parts of southern Europe which shared medical and Catholic ideas and practices, but were bound by different legal traditions and geographically distant from papal scrutiny. Although surely beyond the scope of this engrossing and wonderfully researched book, this comparison could perhaps answer a question that is left open: to what degree is the ambivalence and leniency towards abortion a product of the Italian social structure and its own particular preoccupation with avoiding public shame and striving for absolution? Christopoulos effectively shows how the inherent ambiguities of pre-modern medical understanding of women’s bodies coincided with the developments of Catholicism in its reformatory era, as well as the characteristics of the Italian legal processes of the period. Yet his argument also points to the profound need in such matters to bridge necessity and morality, ideology and incidence. In this, Abortion in Early Modern Italy encourages us to consider more broadly the gaps and ambivalences in handling abortions in other cultures, by which, perhaps, we might open new avenues with which to rethink and recalibrate the meanings and rhetoric of heated contemporary debates.","PeriodicalId":18431,"journal":{"name":"Mediterranean Historical Review","volume":"37 1","pages":"126 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41558174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
