Arunima Datta. Waiting on Empire: A History of Indian Travelling Ayahs in Britain
As Arunima Datta relates in her compelling study, Waiting on Empire: A History of Indian Travelling Ayahs in Britain, British passengers embarking on ships to or from India in the era of the East India Company and the Raj would likely have encountered traveling ayahs on board. Well-heeled families of imperial administrators, planters, merchants, and military men often recruited these nannies from the ranks of domestic ayahs in India through the m…

Residential Exposures: The Impact of World Trade Center Dust on Respiratory Outcomes of Lower Manhattan Residents
Thousands of lower Manhattan residents sustained damage to their homes following the collapse of the Twin Towers on 11 September 2001. Respiratory outcomes have been reported in this population. We sought to describe patterns of home damage and cleaning practices in lower Manhattan and their impacts on respiratory outcomes among World Trade Center Health Registry (WTCHR) respondents. Data were derived from WTCHR Wave 1 (W1) (9/2003−11/2004) and W…

Moral Mapping of Victorian and Edwardian London: Charles Booth, Christian Charity, and the Poor-but-Respectable
Charles Booth’s seventeen-volume series, The Life and Labour of the People in London (1886–1903), is a staple of late Victorian social history and a monumental work of scholarship. Despite these facts, historians have paid little attention to its section on religious influences. Thomas Gibson-Brydon’s The Moral Mapping of Victorian and Edwardian London seeks to remedy this neglect. Combing through the interviews Booth and his researchers conducte…
County-Level Vulnerability Assessment for Rapid Dissemination of HIV or HCV Infections Among Persons Who Inject Drugs, United States
OBJECTIVE: A recent HIV outbreak in a rural network of persons who inject drugs (PWID) underscored the intersection of the expanding epidemics of opioid abuse, unsterile injection drug use (IDU), and associated increases in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. We sought to identify US communities potentially vulnerable to rapid spread of HIV, if introduced, and new or continuing high rates of HCV infections among PWID. DESIGN: We conducted a multi…

A review of events that expose children to elemental mercury in the United States
Concern for children exposed to elemental mercury prompted the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to review the sources of elemental mercury exposures in children, describe the location and proportion of children affected, and make recommendations on how to prevent these exposures. In this review, we excluded mercury exposures from coal-burning facilities, dental amalgams, fish cons…

The Middlemost and the Milltowns: Bourgeois Culture and Politics in Early Industrial England
This book seeks to enrich our understanding of middle-class life in England during the Industrial Revolution. For many years, questions about how the middle classes earned (and failed to earn) money, conducted their public and private lives, carried out what they took to be their civic and religious duties, and viewed themselves in relation to the rest of society have been largely neglected questions. These topics have been marginalized by the ri…

Mirroring the Networked Society: Government Policy, Higher Education, and Telelearning Technology in Canada

This study, a review of federal and provincial government policies relating to the use of telelearning technologies in postsecondary education, reveals several significant trends. First, telelearning policy for the postsecondary sector straddles the boundary between education and economic …
Picturing Japaneseness: Monumental Style, National Identity, Japanese Film

A Preliminary Report on the Relative Effectiveness of Ultrasonic Cleaning versus Soaking in the Conservation of Clay Tablets
This paper reports on an attempt to apply the technology of ultrasonic cleaning to the conservation of clay tablets and to measure the effectiveness of ultrasound against the desalting technique now in use. It is hoped that the results of these preliminary experiments will inspire a thorough investigation into the possible advantages of employing an ultrasonic cleaning system. The author would not recommend switching from the standard soaking met…
Theories of Film
Jean Mitry on Film Language
Before linguists turned their attention to film, filmmakers, critics, and enthusiasts-turned-theorists--among them Sergei Eisenstein, Louis Delluc, and Jean Mitry--engaged consciously if sometimes naively in investigation of film as a language. Linguists has since provided a vocabulary and an approach to question of filmic signification, precipitating enormous progress in theory of film and much partisanship. Lines are now clearly drawn between o…
Some Comments and Recommendations concerning Inter-Coder Reliability
Open-ended questionnaires and projective tests often elicit responses that are capable of more than one interpretation. As a safeguard against biased and idiosyncratic interpretations, most textbooks rightly recommend the use of several independent judges or coders. But their recommendations on the “training” of coders leave much to be desired, since they provide too many opportunities for interpersonal influences. This paper reviews the whole pr…
