Prehistoric foragers and farmers in South-east Asia: Renewed investigations at Niah Cave, Sarawak by Barker, G, Barton, H, Beavitt, P, Bird, M, Daly, P, Doherty, C, Gilbertson, D, Hunt, C, Krigbaum, J, Lewis, H, Manser, J, McClaren, S, Paz, V, Piper, P, Pyatt, B, Rabett, R, Reynolds, T, Rose, J, Rushworth, G, Stephens, M

“…The paper describes the initial results from renewed investigations at Niah Cave in Sarawak on the island of Borneo, famous for the discovery in 1958 of the c. 40,000–year old ‘Deep Skull’. The archaeological sequences from the West Mouth and the other entrances of the cave complex investigated by Tom and Barbara Harrisson and other researchers have potential implications for three major debates regarding the prehistory of south-east Asia: the timing of initial settlement by anatomically modern humans; the means by which they subsisted in the late Pleistocene and early Holocene; and the timing, nature, and causation of the transition from foraging to farming. …”

Comparison of a simplified skin pointer device compared with a skeletal marker for knee rotation laxity : a cadaveric study using a rotation-meter by Puah, Ken Lee, Yew, Andy Khye Soon, Chou, Siaw Meng, Lie, Denny Tijauw Tjoen

“…Rotational forces of 3, 6 and 9 nm applied at 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° of knee flexion were analysed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and paired t-test. RESULTS : Total rotation recorded with the skin pointer significantly correlated with the bone marker at 3 nm at 0° (skin pointer 23.9 ± 26.0° vs bone marker 16.3 ± 17.3°, r = 0.92; P = 0.0), 30° (41.7 ± 15.5° vs 33.1 ± 14.7°, r = 0.63; P = 0.037), 45° (49.0 ± 17.0° vs 40.3 ± 11.2°, r = 0.81; P = 0.002), 60° (45.7 ± 17.5° vs 34.7 ± 9.5°, r = 0.86; P = 0.001) and 90° (29.2 ± 10.9° vs 21.2 ± 6.8°, r = 0.69; P = 0.019) of knee flexion and 6 nm at 0° (51.1 ± 37.7° vs 38.6 ± 30.1°, r = 0.90; P = 0.0), 30° (64.6 ± 21.6° vs 54.3 ± 15.1°, r = 0.73; P = 0.011), 45° (67.7 ± 20.6° vs 55.5 ± 9.5°, r = 0.65; P = 0.029), 60° (62.9 ± 22.4° vs 45.8 ± 13.1°, r = 0.65; P = 0.031) and 90° (43.6 ± 17.6° vs 31.0 ± 6.3°, r = 0.62; P = 0.043) of knee flexion and at 9 nm at 0° (69.7 ± 40.0° vs 55.6 ± 30.6°, r = 0.86; P = 0.001) and 60° (74.5 ± 27.6° vs 57.1 ± 11.5°, r = 0.77; P = 0.006). …”
