Un vaso celtibérico con problema

El artículo describe una vasija cerámica encontrada en el alfar de los Pedregales (Clunia, Hispania Citerior) hacia 1930 y que muestra una infrecuente decoración: una figura geométrica rotulada con cifras y el enunciado de un problema. La singularidad del vaso, pues, reside tanto en su decoración, porque cálculos similares solo se conocen en papiros y ostraka de la parte oriental del Mediterráneo, pero no consta la existencia de vasos cerámicos similares ni en la Península Ibérica ni en el resto de la parte occidental del Imperio.------------- This paper describes a vase found in Clunia (Hispania Citerior) about 1930, on which a singular decoration was painted: a geometric figure with numbers and a question asking to solve a geometric problem. Since calculus of the kind were known only in papyri and ostraka from the Eastern Mediterranean, this vase seems to be one of the few instances of a mathemathic calculation described in the West and the only ever found in Spain

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

El dilema de Paramio

This note deals with a Latin epigraph from Paramio, in Zamora province, Spain. Due to its geographical location, the area belonged to the conventus Asturum. The inscription deserves commenting for its onomastic and formulae and because it has a non easy–to–discern purpose.Edición y comentario de un epígrafe latino procedente de Paramio, provincia de Zamora, y que por su situación geográfica, perteneció al conventus Asturum. La inscripción es interesante por su onomática y formulario y porque no es evidente su funcionalidad

"Burria", un nuevo sello anfórico hallado en el campamento romano de Castillejo (Garray, Soria)

This note describes a new potter stamp found during an archaeological survey of the Roman army camp at Castillejo, Garray, Spain. The stamp was printed on an amphorae handle (prabably a Dressel 1A type) and names a BVRRIA, so far the first known ocurrence of this figlinarius.Se describe un sello anfórico descubierto durante una prospección arqueológica del campamento romano de Castillejo, Garray, Soria. La estampilla, impresa sobre un fragmento de asa de ánfora vinaria (probablemente tipo Dressel 1A) contiene el nombre BVRRIA, que es, por lo que nos alcanza, el primer testimonio de este alfarero o propietario de figlina
