“…At T1, high decisional conflict (OR 1.016, 95% CI 1.001–1.023, p = 0.038) and a negative self-concept (OR 1.030, 95% CI 1.008–1.054, p = 0.009) were significant predictors for preferring a more passive role. At T2, high baseline decisional conflict significantly predicted taking a more passive role in the CG, whereas in the IG, baseline decisional conflict showed no influence. …”

Analyse des terres cuites architecturales de l’aqueduc de Nyon/Colonia Iulia Equestris (Suisse) by Benjamin Clément, Christophe Henny, Anne Schmitt

“…Add to this end, all the terracotta bricks making up the bottom of the canal (specus) were sampled for the purpose of exhaustive study, entailing both a metrological and typological investigation and physico-chemical analyses of the clay of which they are composed.Probably built during the 1st century AD, the Colonia Iulia Equestris aqueduct would have supported the development of the Roman city founded in the middle of the previous century on the shores of Lake Geneva. In the absence of dating evidence for the construction itself, the establishment of public baths near the colony’s forum at the beginning of the 1st century AD provides us with a chronological clue to its construction. …”
