Purpose Stigma is a well-known barrier for people with substance use disorders at multiple levels. The current study compares language using new terms to help identify the least stigmatizing language. Method A Qualtrics study was fielded in Illinois with 1,564 participants. Participants were randomized to one of five vignettes that described a person who was using opioids and seeking treatment. A stigma scale followed to gauge beliefs. Results Pa…
Investigating methods of sharing data between police, health, education, and social services: Semi-structured interviews with police service areas in Wales
The Crime and Disorder Act (1998) requires the police, local authorities, NHS, and other organisations to share intelligence and collectively work to reduce violent crime. This paper aimed to explore opinions on linking police data with other agency data. Interviews were undertaken with individuals from police forces in Wales, UK. Barriers to sharing data with other organisations involve differences in the systems used to store police data and un…
It bringeth them into dangerous perill: Management of and recovery after miscarriage in early modern England, c .1600–1750
Early modern medical literature described miscarriage as an especially dangerous process for women’s health. Recipe books, diary entries and personal correspondence show that some women experienced significant pain and complications, including retention of the foetus and placenta, fevers, haemorrhaging, headaches, and fertility issues. This article illuminates the management of the bodily process of miscarriage and the means used to promote women…
Introduction Women’s Writings about Illness and Disease
“A Toste wett in Muskadine”: Preventing Miscarriage in Early Modern English Recipe Books c.1600–1780
Discussions about early modern miscarriage have considered in detail how women rationalised miscarriage framing the emotional burden of loss within the context of providence and sin. This valuable interpretation considers women from the moment at which the miscarriage had occurred. The experience of miscarriage, though, did not start at the moment of loss, it began with the first concerns that a foetus was at risk. By the time women were consider…

Contribution of strontium to the human diet from querns and millstones: An experiment in digestive strontium isotope uptake
The question of whether rock grit ingested unintentionally from querns, metates or millstones, or deliberately through pica or geophagy, is bioaccessible in the human gut has not been addressed in archaeological strontium (Sr) isotope studies. This study employed the unified bioaccessibility method and determined that ingested rock grit can provide bioaccessible 87 Sr/ 86 Sr, but that unintentional consumption is unlikely to constitute > 1% of th…

Ritual and Conflict: The Social Relations of Childbirth in Early Modern England, by Adrian Wilson
Adrian Wilson provides a comprehensive and critical historiographical survey of gender in early modern England. He seeks to resituate childbirth within the broader social and cultural milieu of life at this time. Principally, he challenges historians’ notions of gender relations and problematises the idea of patriarchy. He poses questions about our understanding of illegitimate births, marriage and male ‘superiority’ in the early modern period—su…

Michael Solomon, Fictions of Well-Being: Sickly Readers and Vernacular Medical Writing in Late Medieval and Early Modern Spain
In Fictions of Well-Being Michael Solomon provides an engaging examination of vernacular medical treatises and the appeal of their works to the sickly reader. In doing so the author creates a vivid image of the early modern patient using vernacular medical texts in a practical way. In this book Solomon effectively argues that medieval and early modern medical writers utilised a diverse range of strategies to make their works relevant and appealin…
Gentle Purges corrected with hot Spices, whether they work or not, do vehemently provoke Venery: Menstrual Provocation and Procreation in Early Modern England
Throughout the early modern period, medical writers described a plethora of remedies designed to provoke menstruation. This article will address the close relationship these substances had with provokers of lust. Historians have often viewed emmenagogues as covert expressions of abortive drugs. While they acknowledge that some women utilised these treatments for their intended purpose, to restore a regular menstrual cycle, they have more frequent…
Lead Isotope Analyses of Bronze Age Copper‐base Artefacts From Al‐midamman, Yemen: Towards the Identification of an Indigenous Metal Production and Exchange System in the Southern Red Sea Region
The results of the lead isotope analysis (LIA) of 15 copper‐base artefacts from the Bronze Age site of al‐Midamman, Yemen, are reported. The LIA data suggest the existence of an indigenous Bronze Age metal production and exchange system centred on the southern Red Sea region, distinct from those in neighbouring regions of Arabia and the Levant. These preliminary results are highly significant for the archaeology of the region, suggesting that loc…
Adherence Study: Educational Workshops vs. Video Sessions to Improve Adherence Among ART-Naïve Patients in Salvador, Brazil
Intermittent occupation and forced abandonment: Excavation of an Iron Age promotory fort at Carghidown, Dumfries and Galloway
Excavations at Carghidown demonstrate sporadic occupation of this promontory fort over a short period, during the late first millennium BC or early first millennium AD. The analysis of lead beads from this settlement adds support to growing evidence for copper mining in this area of Galloway at the time and suggests that the inhabitants were of some status within the local social hierarchy. The excavation also demonstrates that the site was only …
Sex and the censors: The femme fatale in Juan Antonio Bardem's Muerte de un ciclista
The establishing montage of Juan Antonio Bardem's Muerte de un ciclista/Death of a Cyclist (1955) represents a clear challenge to the Spanish censors of the 1950s.1 It begins with a long-shot of an isolated country road. A cyclist enters the title frame and disappears over the horizon (figure 1). A car appears over the same horizon, driving erratically towards the viewer, and a cut to a medium closeup shows a couple looking back in alarm (figure …

Development Impact Fees and the Acquisition of Infrastructure
This article considers the impact that the use of impact development fees has on the level of capital investment made by local governments in the United States. Using a sample of 85 cities, we find that the use of fees is associated with lower levels of capital spending. The data also reveal that the debt-to-expenditure ratio for these cities is associated with higher levels of capital spending, leading us to conclude that fees act as a quasi-pri…
Linking the Cognitive and the Affective in Educational Research: Cognitivist, psychoanalytic and post‐structuralist models
This paper considers four different types of model for relating the affective and the cognitive in the study of mathematical performance and problem‐solving. The first two models are based on assumptions coming from a cognitivist framework. These are: A — ‘individual‐differential’ models, aiming to explain individual differences in, for example, performance scores or participation; and B — ‘constructivist’ models focusing on an individual's probl…
Residuality Revisited
Residuality has long been recognized as a problem for those interpreting archaeological assemblages, in particular those from urban excavations. This paper explores residuality through the examination of quantified pottery assemblages from a number of British sites. the causes of variation in the level of residuality at particular sites are discussed and general conclusions are drawn about the importance of the different factors isolated

Excavations at a Neolithic Causewayed Enclosure, Orsett, Essex, 1975
The Causewayed Enclosure at Orsett, Essex, was trial trenched in 1975 to determine the state of site preservation and confirm its postulated Neolithic date and site sequence. The enclosure consisted of three incomplete circuits of discontinuous ditch with an associated timber palisade slot lying inside and concentric to the middle ditch. Within the interior was an oval post hole structure of a contemporary date. Quantities of Mildenhall style pot…

A Late 13th and Early 14th-Century Tile Factory at Danbury, Essex
THE EXCAVATION of a practically complete medieval tile factory, in operation between c. 1275/85 and 1325/35, is described. The establishment comprised three buildings, interpreted as workmen's accommodation (A), a workshop (B), and a drying shed (C), together with two kilns, within a ditched roadside enclosure. The kilns were of the normal type, with two parallel flues; one had a walled stokepit reached by a tile staircase. The methods of tile ma…

A Late Iron Age Burial Enclosure at Maldon Hall Farm, Essex: Excavations 1989
This report describes the total excavation of a small, rectangular ditched enclosure measuring 23.5 m by 15 m. It was shown to have been a cemetery enclosure (probably that of a small family group), belonging to the second half of the 1st century BC. Three vessels containing cremation burials were found in pits within the enclosed area, along with nine other funerary bowls, urns and jars. Whilst cremation burials of this date are fairly common, t…

Of Sherds and Soil and Sealing Layers, of Cobbling and Coins
From 1985 to 1987 an experiment was conducted alongside an excavation to examine the effect of trampling on cobbled layers, and to see if the movement of small objects could change their stratigraphic relationships. An experimental area was excavated and backfilled with soil and a cobbled layer containing plastic markers, flower pot sherds and coins. The area, part of a path, was subjected to daily trampling, and was excavated after seventeen mon…
