Visions of Islamic solidarity during the Cold War
The first Islamic Summit Conference was one of the most significant gatherings of Islamic nations in the post-Second World War period. Held in Rabat in September 1969, the conference was organized in the aftermath of an arson attack at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, one of the holiest sites in Islam which had been under Israeli occupation since the Arab defeat in the Six-Day War of June 1967. Although the conference was initially conceived to d…

A Provincial Interoperability Journey to Streamline Resident Transitions and Improve Integrated Care between Hospital & Long-Term Care
Background: Healthcare systems across Ontario, Canada operate using health record systems with varying data structures, code sets, and interoperability capabilities, resulting in predominantly paper-based transfer of information. For patients transferred between healthcare institutions, this means delays in sharing medical information, increased potential for medication errors, delays in treatment and care, higher readmission rates, and the need …

Pahlavi Iran's Relations with Africa
This book presents the first comprehensive study of Iran's complex relationship with Africa during the late Pahlavi era. While many studies of Iran's foreign relations during the Cold War present Iranian policy as fully aligned with the United States, Robert Steele reveals Iran as an independent actor capable of forging its own path, and shows that Africa was central to Iran's economic policy and security strategy during the reign of Shah Mohamma…
The Shah's House Became the People's House”
This paper examines the Pahlavi Dynasty Museum, which was inaugurated in 1976 during the celebrations marking the fiftieth anniversary of Pahlavi rule. Built inside the Marble Palace, the shah's former residence in the center of Tehran, the museum was intended to memorialize the achievements of the Pahlavis, presenting the official Pahlavi version of Iran's modern history. The museum was unique in many respects, not least because it was the only …
A Mixed Methods Study of Relationship Satisfaction in Parents of Children With Down Syndrome
Much of the research on parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) has focused on the negative effects on the couple relationship. The current study contributes to the understanding of parental relationship satisfaction in a sample of parents of children with Down syndrome (DS), through a mixed methods study that included data from a large national sample. Parents of children with DS were divided into two groups ba…
Optimizing the implementation of lung cancer screening in Scotland
INTRODUCTION: Targeted lung cancer screening is effective in reducing lung cancer and all-cause mortality according to major trials in the United Kingdom and Europe. However, the best ways of implementing screening in local communities requires an understanding of the population the programme will serve. We undertook a study to explore the views of those potentially eligible for, and to identify potential barriers and facilitators to taking part …
Iran’s golden age of tourism
This article examines the development of Iran’s tourism sector in the two decades before the revolution of 1979. In this period, the number of tourists visiting Iran each year grew from fewer than 80,000 in 1962 to nearly 700,000 by 1977, and as a result, tourism became an increasingly important sector of Iran’s economy. The article assesses the factors that contributed to the growth of the industry and investigates the extent to which this growt…
The Shah’s Imperial Celebrations of 1971
"In October 1971 Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran, held a celebration to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the founding of the Persian Empire by Cyrus the Great. Dozens of heads of state descended on Persepolis for these Celebrations, where they were regaled to sumptuous banquets and entertainment. Critical journalists in Western Europe and North America lambasted the Shah for holding such a decadent event while many of his people lived in…
Two Kings of Kings
Iran’s engagement with the African continent increased significantly throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s, driven by economic, political and strategic interests. The first country Iran reached out to in Sub-Saharan Africa was Haile Selassie’s Ethiopia, and the emperor remained the shah’s closest ally on the continent until his downfall in 1974. This relationship was established in 1960, when Haile Selassie’s Solomonic kingdom faced pressures f…
Crowning the “Sun of the Aryans”
Coronations are commonly held at the beginning of a monarch's reign, symbolizing accession to the throne and the continuation of the dynasty. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's coronation ceremony of 1967, however, was held twenty-six years into his rule and was designed to draw attention to the renewed glory of Iranian monarchy and the successes of the Pahlavi shahs. This coronation ceremony and related events offer important insights into the Pahlavi ideo…
The Keur Farah Pahlavi Project and Iranian-Senegalese Relations in the 1970s
Addressing the scarcity of scholarly literature on Iran’s involvement in Sub-Saharan Africa during the Pahlavi period, this paper demonstrates that throughout the 1970s, as the shah’s international standing rose and Iran’s economy grew, so too did Iran’s political and economic relationships with several African countries, especially Senegal. The article will explore a number of factors that stimulated this relationship, most significantly Senegal…
Perceived colorectal cancer candidacy and the role of candidacy in colorectal cancer screening
Screening is a well-established tool to advance earlier cancer diagnosis. We used Davison’s concept of ‘candidacy’ to explore how individuals draw on collectively constructed images of ‘typical’ colorectal cancer (CRC) sufferers, or ‘candidates’, in order to evaluate their own risk and to ascertain the impact of candidacy on screening participation in CRC. We interviewed 61 individuals who were invited to participate in the Scottish Bowel Screeni…

The Pahlavi National Library Project
This paper examines the Pahlavi National Library, the planning for which began in 1972 and expired in 1978 on the eve of the Islamic Revolution. The Pahlavi National Library was to rank in size and eminence with the great libraries of the world, yet this extraordinary project has hitherto received little to no scholarly attention. Using documents primarily from the archives of the shah’s cultural counsellor at the imperial court, Shojāʿeddin Shaf…

The contribution of a negative colorectal screening test result to symptom appraisal and help‐seeking behaviour among patients subsequently diagnosed with an interval colorectal cancer
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programmes using a guaiac faecal occult blood test (gFOBt) reduce CRC mortality. Interval cancers are diagnosed between screening rounds: reassurance from a negative gFOBt has the potential to influence the pathway to diagnosis of an interval colorectal cancer. METHODS: Twenty-six semi-structured face-to-face interviews were carried out in Scotland and England, with individuals diagnosed with an inter…
Understanding of a negative bowel screening result and potential impact on future symptom appraisal and help‐seeking behaviour
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening using a faecal occult blood test (FOBt) has the potential to reduce cancer-related mortality. Symptom vigilance remains crucial as a proportion of cancers will be diagnosed between screening rounds. A negative FOBt has the potential to influence how participants respond to future symptoms of CRC. OBJECTIVE: To explore (i) understanding of a negative FOBt and (ii) the potential impact of a negative FOB…
Anticipated regret to increase uptake of colorectal cancer screening (Artics)
Screening is important for early detection of colorectal cancer. Our aim was to determine whether a simple anticipated regret (AR) intervention could increase uptake of colorectal cancer screening. A randomised controlled trial of a simple, questionnaire-based AR intervention, delivered alongside existing pre-notification letters, was conducted. A total of 60,000 adults aged 50-74 years from the Scottish National Screening programme were randomis…

X.—A Notice of the Ludus Triumphorum and some Early Italian Card Games; with some Remarks on the Origin of the Game of Cards
The earliest mention of cards occurs in 1377, and their history during the next century is obscure. Card playing seems to have become a popular vice very soon, since it is said to have been prohibited by the Synod of Langres in 1404. In 1423 cards equally with dice were the object of a celebrated sermon by St. Bernardin of Sienna at Bologna. The saint attributes the invention of games of chance to the devil, and gives a list of games of chance, m…
St. Francis and the Franciscans in the British Museum
The part played by Englishmen in the first days of the Franciscan Order seems small, and is perhaps obscured by the fact that its earliest historians were Italians to whom the nationality of their brethren had no importance. One is glad to think that one of the earliest of the followers of St. Francis, 'secundus in or dine,' whatever that may imply, and 'socius beati Francisci,' was William the Englishman, and that we have before us his beautiful…

The Two Faces of Drama
It is all wrong for cinema and to be rivals. Despite their mutual parenthood, the drama, and peripheral similarities, each is a unique art form. Remembering this will give us the chance to have better films and better plays. Film, from its beginning, has had an inferiority complex because of its unfavorable comparison with theatre. Over and over again, most countries of the world, film has tried to be better by leaning on people and imitating the…

Arsenic, syphilis, and cancer of the prostate
A study was conducted to investigate the association of cancer of the prostate with historical records of previous venereal disease and treatment with arsenical drugs. Eighty-three cancer cases were each age matched with two male controls--one with benign prostatic hypertrophy and one other non-cancer patient. Analysis from pooled data showed a statistically significant difference for syphilis infection between cases and controls at p less than 0…
An Empirical Study of the Pastoral Mental Health Involvement Model
This study investigates the utility of a conceptual model—the Pastoral Mental Health Involvement Model—in understanding and predicting pastoral mental health activities (counseling, referral, and consultation). This model, based on previous research findings and logical speculations, includes four sets of external factors (church organization, church membership status, types and severity of presenting problems) and three sets of internal factors …
