How effective is public health policy in Scotland on vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy
Objective: To evaluate the uptake of universal vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy, its effectiveness in preventing vitamin D deficiency and the factors associated with these. Design: The regional public health organisation in Ayrshire, Scotland has a policy of universal provision of vitamin D supplements (10 μg/d) to all pregnant women for the duration of their pregnancy.

Abjection, Masculinity, and Sacrifice: The Reek of Death in Game of Thrones
The masculinities of HBO's Game of Thrones (2011-2019) are marked not just by violence and exploitation, but by contingency, fragility, and abjection. This article draws on theories of abjection to read the abject masculinity of Sandor Clegane, Samwell Tarly, and Theon Greyjoy in the context of theories of hegemonic and hypermasculinity, and, through Greyjoy in particular, tracks his movement from hypermasculinity, through abjection and torture, …

Performance, place and power at Dún Ailinne, a ceremonial site of the Irish Iron Age
Dún Ailinne is one of the major ceremonial sites of the Irish Iron Age (600 bce–ce 400), a time when society was becoming increasingly centralized. We argue that these sites were a focus for the process of centralization, facilitated by performance though the site’s construction and use. Physical movement in the context of ritual has been shown to affect the perception of social relationships. These would have been experienced through performance…
A Geophysical Survey at Dún Ailinne, County Kildare, Ireland
Dun Ailinne, in County Kildare was an important center of ceremonial and ritual activity in the Irish Iron Age (600 B.C.–A.D. 400). The site is located on a hill and is surrounded by an earthen bank and ditch. Excavation of the summit 35 years ago revealed a series of timber structures that were arguably the focus of the site's Iron Age use. This early research examined only ca. 10% of the site's interior; so from 2006 to 2008 a new program of re…

The Relationship Between Prehistoric Irish Rock Art and Irish Passage Tomb Art
Two major traditions of decoration from the later Neolithic and/or earlier Bronze Age, rock art and passage tomb art, are compared. Both traditions are briefly described, and are compared on the basis of both site and motif characteristics. Their chronological relationship is also discussed, indicating at least a large overlap in time between them. These two show a general affiliation on a number of levels, suggesting a similar degree of relation…
