概括
考古研究表明,长期存在的定居点 (连续性) 与物质平等的联系很弱. 这种关系在较大的结算系统中得到加强,这表明网络效应会影响可持续性.
科学领域:
- 考古学的考古学
- 人类学是人类学.
- 社会学 社会学 社会学
背景情况:
- 可持续性定义强调系统连续性和时间平等.
- 可持续性的这两个方面之间的关系仍然未被充分探索,特别是在前现代社会.
- 新的考古方法为研究过去的可持续性提供了工具.
研究的目的:
- 系统地研究定居点持久性 (连续性) 与物质不平等 (平等) 之间的关系.
- 应用一种新的方法,将连续性和平等的代理组合到全球定居点数据集中.
- 了解结算规模如何影响连续性和平等之间的相互作用.
主要方法:
- 在住宅大小测量中使用吉尼系数作为物质不平等的代理.
- 根据一个特定国家的持续时间来衡量结算持久性,假设更长的持久性表明更大的适应能力.
- 分析了跨越过去1万年的全球定居点数据集.
主要成果:
- 发现定居点持久性与物质不平等之间存在较弱的总体相关性,而不是平等.
- 观察到,随着定居系统规模的增加,这种关系越来越强烈.

02:31Habitat Fragmentation
17.3K
Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

01:13Mortar Joint Deterioration in Masonry
94
Mortar joint deterioration is a significant concern in masonry structures, with water accumulation in the joints leading to damage from freeze-thaw cycles. The repeated expansion of water during freezing and its melting during thawing develop and propagate cracks in the masonry joints. Eventually, this leads to the spalling of mortar from the joints, loosening masonry units and weakening the structure. The deteriorated mortar joints are also vulnerable to moisture intrusion into the walls.

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

01:50Global Climate Change
24.0K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Scientists record evolutionary history by analyzing fossil, morphological, and genetic data. The fossil record documents the history of life on Earth and provides evidence for evolution. However, both fossil and living organisms offer evidence that outlines Earth’s evolutionary history.
