Cognitive function in toddlers with congenital heart disease
Infants born with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at increased risk of neurodevelopmental difficulties in childhood. The extent to which perioperative factors, cardiac physiology, brain injury severity, socioeconomic status, and home environment influence early neurodevelopment is not clear. Sixty‐nine newborns with CHD were recruited from St Thomas’ Hospital. Infants underwent presurgical magnetic resonance imaging on a 3‐Tesla scanner situat…

Key challenges for delivering clinical impact with artificial intelligence
Gender Bias and the Journal of Roman Studies
Reflecting on present unease about structural biases in the discipline, and aiming to offer a data-rich response to some recent criticisms of this Journal , the Editorial Board has undertaken a study of the representation of female scholars in the Journal of Roman Studies . To that end, we have gathered data on publications, submissions and JRS Editorial Board membership for the past fifteen years, from Volume 95 (2005) through to the present vol…

Theodosius II
Theodosius II (AD 408–450) was the longest reigning Roman emperor. Ever since Edward Gibbon, he has been dismissed as mediocre and ineffectual. Yet Theodosius ruled an empire which retained its integrity while the West was broken up by barbarian invasions. This book explores Theodosius' challenges and successes. Ten essays by leading scholars of late antiquity provide important new insights into the court at Constantinople, the literary and cultu…
Ruling the Later Roman Empire
Crossing The Frontiers
This chapter explores some of the differences in compositional strategies and the disposition of subject matter which mark off books from the rest of Ammianus' history. Its focus is the magic and treason trials in Rome (28.1) and Antioch (29.1-2). Like the great suicidal philosophers of old, Julian is in no hurry to die; not at least until he has taken time to ruminate on the nature of the soul and to reflect on his Res Gestae . The decomposing s…

1. Conquest 2. Imperial Power 3. Collusion 4. History Wars 5. Christians to the Lions 6. Living and Dying 7. Rome Revisited
History wars
‘History wars’ uses the literature of the second century AD to recover a sense of how those who were conquered sought to establish an identity in a new imperial world. Conquest by Rome had an enormous impact — architecturally, intellectually and organizationally. The past was refashioned and incorporated into a Roman present in which cities wanted to participate. Some authors reacted by producing their own competing histories. Pausanias' Descript…
Conquest
Collusion
‘Collusion’ examines the workings of the empire from the point of view of the privileged elites in the cities of the Mediterranean. The Roman empire was run by a very small provincial bureaucracy and Roman governors had a restricted remit. Limited imperial interference meant that the empire relied on local elites for its success. A local oligarchy ran councils, which were in charge of civic life and payment of imperial taxes. These elites enjoyed…
Christians to the lions
‘Christians to the lions’ considers the empire's treatment of Christians and the development of Christianity on the margins of society. Slaughter of Christians in the arena was just one part of the Roman games. The games were a mixture of order and violence, like an empire in miniature. Only the emperor could violate the conventions that governed them. Christians set out to challenge this balance of order and violence through willing martyrdom. T…
Rousseau's “Peut-Etre”
In the Confessions Rousseau provides a very helpful account of the composition of the Discourse on Inequality (as he calls the Second Discourse ). This account contains two elements that prefigure the work's reputation among scholars today. First, Rousseau says that, while in his earlier works he had only partially revealed the basis of his thought, the question posed by the Academy of Dijon offered him the occasion to develop his principles, “co…

Rousseau and the Case for (and against) Censorship
Rousseau is one of the most important modern defenders of censorship and one of the most important victims of censors. In his works can be found arguments both for and against censorship Rather than being symptoms of the tendency to exempt himself from rules he wants to apply to others, these different cases form part of a consistent understanding. Rousseau argues both that communities depend on a moral consensus that must be kept immune to criti…
Rousseau's Case for and against Heroes
Understood properly, Rousseau's account of heroes develops a new understanding of heroism and its effects on ordinary people that is sensitive to the dangers of the heroes as well as to the benefits they confer. He shows how admiration for heroes can help form a civic identity fostering a strong sense of active citizenship. Additionally, he explores the possibility of a less demanding form of citizenship less dependent on heroic models and conseq…
Civil and uncivil religions
Si la pensee de Tocqueville peut apparaitre machiavelique a l'egard des musulmans et des hindous, il reste qu'il temoigne d'un profond respect pour ces communautes. Son desir est l'etablissement de liens durables entre les europeens et les autres peuples. Ainsi, Tocqueville s'interesse a la resistance des musulmans et des hindous a l'Europe, mais aussi a leur capacite d'accepter les principes democratiques europeens. La religion est appelee a jou…

Rousseau is a liberal or a a totalitarian or whether he is simply confused, attempting to reconcile the irreconcilable
To Persuade without Convincing
Critics have long noted the paradoxical nature of Rousseau's appeal to a solitary lawgiver within a social contract theory based on equality and consent. However, far from representing a compromise of the principles of equality and consent, the appeal to the legislator is an illustration of the basis upon which consent can be obtained. Rousseau denies that a rational calculation can inspire a whole people to comply with justice. Therefore, he arg…
