Predictors of Recent Incidence Trends in Sexually Transmitted Infections
Objective Increasing trends in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) warrants an examination of the potential factors behind this phenomenon. This systematic review aims to synthesize evidence on the predictors of recent trends in chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis.Methods A systematic search was conducted via scientific databases (i.e., CINAHL, Embase, PubMed, PsychINFO, Scopus), expanded by citation-mining techniques, and complemented by …
Making sense of risk
OBJECTIVE: To explore how Irish gay men make sense of sexual health-related risk in contemporary prevention ecology. DESIGN: Qualitative study using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Purposive sampling recruited nine cisgender gay men living in Ireland. Semi-structured interviews (45-60 min) were conducted remotely and deliberately de-framed (the term 'risk' was omitted from materials) to reduce priming. Analysis followed idiographic, cas…

Risk reconsidered
This study explored how risk in the context of sexual health is conceptualised in research related to gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men during a period of major biomedical change, including the scale-up of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and the Undetectable = Untransmittable (U = U) campaign, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. A systematic search across Medline (OVID), CINAHL, and Scopus identified studies published and/or with dat…
Long Barrows or Long Enclosures? A Survey of Evidence From Eastern England
Where are the missing long barrows of eastern England? Do they exist as the original earthwork form of cropmark long enclosures? Or do these represent a distinct tradition? To explore this, geophysical surveys were carried out on the region’s rare surviving long barrows. Comparable signals suggest that most long enclosures are indeed likely to have been long barrows. Other morphological factors, however, differ from long barrows elsewhere and, co…
From outcrops to axeheads
The source of material for Group XX stone artefacts is reassessed using extant geological and petrological information and complemented with new field and artefact pXRF analyses. Our reassessment of extant archaeological and petrological data supports earlier conclusions that a possible origin for Group XX stone tools is in the Charnwood Forest area, just north of Leicester. Based on petrographic evidence, this source is now considered to lie wit…
The enigmatic ‘Newall boulder’ excavated at Stonehenge in 1924
“Priests are obliged to be turbulent”
Charles Villia-Vicencio's theology developed in the context of the struggle against Apartheid is interpreted as a transposition of key themes from the Methodist theological tradition into a liberative key. This is takes place through Villa-Vicencio's expansion of the notion of salvation and his affirmation of the preferential option for the poor. The article exams the significance of this in relation to the themes of grace and responsibility, the…
Imaging the ‘Exotic Other’
This article examines how John Wesley described the people of Africa, with particular reference to the people of West Africa and the ‘inhabitants of the Cape of Good Hope’. While Wesley has been rightly praised for his opposition to the enslavement of Africans, his descriptions of African people involved editing material from various sources in order to serve theological and rhetorical purposes directed toward his British readers. This produced d…
Chemsex, Anxiety and Depression Among Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who have Sex with Men Living with HIV
Chemsex is common among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM). Although not always categorised as problematic, a link with psychological distress has been reported and might be exacerbated amongst gbMSM living with HIV, as HIV has been associated with anxiety and depression. A cross-sectional online survey of gbMSM living with HIV (n = 359) was performed incorporating the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and sociodemograp…
Methodist Morals
Darryl Stephens, Director of Methodist Studies at Lancaster Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania, has written an excellent study of the United Methodist Church's Social Principles as ‘an authentic voice of Methodism, a church faithfully proclaiming its witness in the world’ (9). This positive evaluation of Social Principles is made in full recognition of the complex and often controversial process by which the Social Principles have developed and…
The effect of B12 supplementation on myelin and short-term neuroplasticity
Houses of the Dead
Christen Gemeinde, Bürgergemeinden, Migranten, Aktiengesellschaften, Finanzmärkte
The thesis of this article is that the arrival and non-arrival of African migrants fractures the pseudo innocence of Western Europe exposing its colonial entanglements hence challenging the church to develop a decolonial theological politics. The article develops such a politics by re-examining and reconfiguring elements of Barth’s theological politics. It draws on his understanding of the “lordless powers” and of God taking the side of the poor …
How can Europeans enter the Kingdom of Heaven? A decolonial challenge to Western European political and public theologies in an age of migration
In his 2019 Steve de Gruchy Memorial Lecture John de Gruchy provocatively posed the question: “Is it possible for a white South African male to enter the kingdom of heaven? The core of his concern was how is it possible for a person who was and is still a beneficiary of Apartheid and colonialism in South Africa participate in the creation of a just and transformed society. This question has a particular poignancy in contemporary South Africa wher…
Who Are “the People”? Populism, the “Othered”, and the Public Identity of a Minority Church in Europe
In the context of a rising populism and the othering of migrating minorities this article proposes that a reconstruction of the public identity of a minority Church (The United Methodist Church) provides an important disruptive element directed toward a more just and inclusive democracy. The article draws on biblical and traditional resources, particularly those from within the Methodism to develop an alternative vision of the church. These resou…
God's Makwerekwere
Mass migration and accompanying xenophobia are characteristics of the early 21st century and as such challenge the church to reimagine its identity. This article analyses migration and xenophobia particularly as they impact South Africa and then proposes the model of the church as God s Makwerekwere as an appropriate response. In doing so, it examines New Testament images of the church and argues that the church as God s Makwerekwere is a communi…
Animals in the Neolithic of Britain and Europe
Analytical Surveys of Stonehenge and its Environs, 2009–2013
Non-invasive survey in the Stonehenge ‘Triangle’, Amesbury, Wiltshire, has highlighted a number of features that have a significant bearing on the interpretation of the site. Geophysical anomalies may signal the position of buried stones adding to the possibility of former stone arrangements, while laser scanning has provided detail on the manner in which the stones have been dressed; some subsequently carved with axe and dagger symbols. The prob…

Embodied Holiness
Analytical Surveys of Stonehenge and its Immediate Environs, 2009–2013
Integrated non-invasive survey in the Stonehenge ‘triangle’, Amesbury, Wiltshire, has highlighted a number of features that have a significant bearing on the interpretation of the site. Among them are periglacial and natural topographical structures, including a chalk mound that may have influenced site development. Some geophysical anomalies are similar to the post-holes in the car park of known Mesolithic date, while others beneath the barrows …
The Marlborough Mound, Wiltshire. A Further Neolithic Monumental Mound by the River Kennet
Recent radiocarbon dates obtained from two soil cores taken through the Marlborough Castle mound, Wiltshire, show the main body of it to be a contemporaneous monument to Silbury Hill, dating to the second half of the 3rd millennium cal bc . In light of these dates, this paper considers the sequence identified within the cores, which includes two possible flood events early in the construction of the mound. It also describes four cores taken throu…

Neolithic Ground Axe-heads and Monuments in Wessex
While central southern England is well known for its extant Neolithic monuments and for the fine artefacts recovered from some of its Bronze Age barrows, Neolithic artefacts from the region have received relatively little attention. This might be considered surprising, as the area not only witnessed some of the earliest investigations into the source of materials, notably the Stonehenge bluestones, but it also harbours some of the earliest dated …
Medical sociology, chronic illness and the body
The sociological conceptualisation of chronic illness requires a sociology which indicates the physicality of the body theoretically. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how the body might be integrated into sociological accounts of the experience of chronic illness in a way that acknowledges biological and social facts. Central to our argument is the connection between bodily aspects of self and identity. Self and identity are core aspects o…

The costs of unpaid labour
This paper provides an analysis of the costs and benefits of employing voluntary staff in a single hospice unit. It forms part of a evaluation of the hospice by a multi-disciplinary research team guided by the methodological principles of formative, qualitative evaluation. Voluntary staff working at the Hospice contributed over 2000 h of unpaid labour in each calendar month. A conservative estimate places the potential cost of the free labour of …

Fear of death and strategies for coping with patient death among medical trainees
This paper describes a longitudinal study of fear of death following up fourth‐year medical students in their junior house officer year. It confirms previous findings that the fear of death is and remains multidimensional, with fear of being dead having the lowest score on both occasions and fear of someone close dying being consistently the highest. Fear of death reduces on each dimension over time, though not significantly. An analysis of descr…
Round barrows and the harmonious landscape
The distribution and siting of barrows within the landscape of south‐east England is considered, and it is observed that clustering occurs on certain geological units and in specific topographical positions. A socio‐economic explanation for the distribution of those in Sussex is possible, and the concentrations can even be considered in terms of territorial units. However, distribution across the south‐east is nodal, and the clusters present on t…
Dealing with dying patients
The study reports on a questionnaire study of final-year medical students' self-reported attitudes to dealing with dying patients. All respondents had some direct clinical experience with dying patients, and reported that such encounters were largely unproblematic. Alleviating patient anxiety and counseling relatives were seen as important aspects of the doctor's role, along with diagnosis, and management of symptoms. “High fear” respondents were…
Medical students' self-reported worries about aspects of death and dying
Worries about four aspects of death and dying were elicited from a group of third year medical students. Using a reliable coding system devised by the authors these worries were categorized into types of worry. Different types of worry were shown to be associated with each aspect of death and dying. Being dead oneself was a source of few worries. One's own dying process was associated mainly with worries about pain. For the death of close other's…
Lay carers of patients admitted to a hospice
The aim of this paper is to examine how caring for a terminally ill person in the domestic home restricts the lives of their lay carers. Fifty-nine lay carers of hospice patients were interviewed in the hospice approximately a week after the patient's admission using a structured and primarily closed choice schedule. Respondents were mainly the spouse or other close kin of terminally ill patients admitted to the hospice. Respondents reported that…

Der Körper als Träger des Selbst
Der Titel dieses Aufsatzes bedarf sicherlich einer Erklärung. Ich dachte zunächst daran, ihn „Das Äußere und das Selbst“ zu nennen, womit ich gleichzeitig zum Ausdruck gebracht hätte, in welchem Maße ich mich gegenüber Gregory P. Stone verpflichtet fühle, dessen Argumentation mir in hohem Maße den Weg gewiesen har1. Dennoch soll hier nicht bloß von dem Äußeren und dem Selbst die Rede sein. Was hier thematisiert werden soll, bezieht sich auf die V…

Fluid Worlds
Stanislaw Lem and Vladimir Nabokov, having shown a lifelong interest in science as well as art, both recognize the importance of imagination for knowledge: according to Lem, tomorrow’s science can seem like fantasy today, and Nabokov acknowledges that the perception of all reality requires creative imagination. The role of imagination in all perception means that the boundaries between the observer and the observed are not fixed because the obser…

Education for terminal care in the undergraduate medical curriculum
Terminal care is an important part of medical work but it is an area of work which doctors find difficult and about which they may express some anxiety. Terminal care is seen as amenable to improvement by the provision of undergraduate education and this is now seen as an important part of the prequalification curriculum in medicine. This paper considers the content and aims of such education for terminal care, and asks whether it is effective in…

Awareness and modern dying
This paper takes as its starting-point sociological research which conceptualized modern dying as a status passage. Most deaths in modern Britain result from long-term disease conditions over a period of months or even years and so are likely to be predictable. Given such durations, it may be that a modern role of dying, which is dependent upon awareness of dying, has emerged. Sociological research has largely focused upon people dying from cance…
