A Study of the Lifestyle and Health Parameters of Nuns from Convents on the Iberian Peninsula in Modern Times” Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Departamento de Biología Doctoral dissertation “A study of the lifestyle and health parameters of nuns from convents on the Iberian Peninsula in modern times” Natasa Sarkic Dissertation director: Dr. Jesús Herrerín López Madrid, 2017 1 Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Departamento de Biología Tesis doctoral “Estudio del modo de vida y los parámetros de salud de mujeres en conventos de clausura de la Península Ibérica en época medieval y moderna” Natasa Sarkic Director: Dr. Jesús Herrerín López Madrid, 2017 3 I Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to gain an understanding of the daily lives of nuns from convents on the Iberian Peninsula in modern time (16th – 20th century) by examining their skeletal remains. A study of female monastic communities does not mean just “filling the gap”, but expending and enriching the knowledge of the most crucial chapter of female history in Christianity. It is important to remember that nuns were the only women who were able to live an independent life and acquire education, which was denied even to the women of the highest class, and that some of the most significant female poets, writers, painters, philosophers, composers… spent their life behind convent walls. Also, it was the only community of women, run by women, where they were free to make their own decision on administration, to take care of documentation, and even more important - finances. For that reason, many historians and theoreticians see in nunneries the origin of feminism. Therefore, the idea of this study is to investigate not only the basic aspects of physical anthropology (such as osteology, anthropometry, paleodemography), but also the nutrition, the change of their health and diet before and after entering the monastery, traumas, degenerative diseases, dental health, occupational stress, infectious diseases, as well as possible differences in the way of life between monasteries. Obtained results were compared to the secular female population of the same period and the same region, in order to determine in which way their lifestyles differed. For the purposes of this study, three monastic and three secular populations, from Spain and Portugal, were analysed. 5 II Resumen El objetivo de esta tesis es conocer la vida cotidiana de monjas de conventos de la Península Ibérica en los tiempos modernos (siglos XVI - XX) examinando sus restos esqueléticos. Un estudio de las comunidades monásticas femeninas no supone sólo “llenar la brecha”, sino ampliar e enriquecer el conocimiento del capítulo más importante de la historia femenina en el cristianismo. Es importante recordar que las monjas eran las únicas mujeres que podían vivir una vida independiente y adquirir una educación que se negaba incluso a las mujeres de la clase más alta, y que algunas de las poetisas, escritoras, pintoras, filósofas o compositoras más significantivas... pasaron su vida detrás de los muros de un convento. Además, se trata de la única comunidad de mujeres, dirigida por mujeres, en la que eran libres de tomar decisiones sobre la administración, cómo cuidar la documentación y, aún más importante, sobre las finanzas. Por esta razón, muchos historiadores y teóricos ven en los monasterios el origen del feminismo. Por lo tanto, la idea de este estudio es investigar no solo los aspectos básicos de la antropología física (como la osteología, la antropometría, la paleodemografía), sino también la nutrición, los cambios de la salud y dieta antes y después de entrar en el monasterio, los traumas, la salud dental, el estrés ocupacional y las enfermedades infecciosas, así como las posibles diferencias en el modo de vida entre los diferentes monasterios. Los resultados obtenidos se compararon con la población femenina secular del mismo período y de la misma región, con el fin de determinar de qué modo sus estilos de vida eran diferentes. Para los propósitos de este estudio se analizaron tres poblaciones monásticas y tres poblaciones seculares desde en España y Portugal. 7 III Acknowledgment I would like to thank everyone who stood by me during the time of writing of this thesis and who have helped me and supported me either in a practical or an emotional way.

Historical introduction During the late Middle Ages and Early Modern times women made a half (Herlihy, 1985), and later even three-quarters of the total population in Catholic monasteries (Lynch&Adamo, 2014). However, in various general histories of the Church, nuns and nunneries hold not more than a couple of pages1. Female monasteries had a very important role in society. Not only were they the centre of spirituality, but also the centre of education, and they often provided shelter and food for beggars, medical care for the sick and home for orphans and the elderly poor. The lifestyle of nuns, their purity, asceticism and erudition represented the ideal manifestation of Christian virtues and contemporaries praised their goodness to the skies, admitting they lived the most sacred form of life that was possible to people. Nuns lived in communities under vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, dedicating their time to prayer, contemplation, intellectual and physical work. Many of female monasteries produced their own food, wine and olive oil, so in that way they were completely self-sustainable. Spain was always one of the countries with the highest number of female monasteries. Even nowadays, according to the latest data published in 2003 by Conferencia Episcopal Española2, one fourth of the total number of nunneries in the world are located in Spain. Nuns in cloisters, who spend their whole lives hidden behind thick walls, have always aroused curiosity. Up to now many novels, history books and essays were written about the life of nuns in Spain, but by now, only a few studies, have been published focusing on skeletal remains: 1 See for example Lynch and Adamo (2014) The medieval church: a brief history, where only 5 out of the total of 345 pages were dedicated to female monasticism. 2 Retrieved from

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971.

    EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH (CERN) CERN-EP-2020-180 2021/02/11 CMS-PRF-18-002 The very forward CASTOR calorimeter of the CMS experiment The CMS Collaboration* Abstract The physics motivation, detector design, triggers, calibration, alignment, simulation, and overall performance of the very forward CASTOR calorimeter of the CMS exper- iment are reviewed. The CASTOR Cherenkov sampling calorimeter is located very close to the LHC beam line, at a radial distance of about 1 cm from the beam pipe, and at 14.4 m from the CMS interaction point, covering the pseudorapidity range of −6.6 < h < −5.2. It was designed to withstand high ambient radiation and strong magnetic fields. The performance of the detector in measurements of forward energy density, jets, and processes characterized by rapidity gaps, is reviewed using data collected in proton and nuclear collisions at the LHC. ”Published in the Journal of Instrumentation as doi:10.1088/1748-0221/16/02/P02010.” arXiv:2011.01185v2 [physics.ins-det] 10 Feb 2021 © 2021 CERN for the benefit of the CMS Collaboration.
