Teaching Scientific Integrity in Academia
Training in scientific integrity continues to be an important topic in universities and other research institutions. Its main goal is to prevent scientific misconduct and promote good scientific practice. However, there is still no consensus on how scientific integrity should be taught. Moreover, the perspective of those who receive such training is often underrepresented. Yet it is precisely their interests and needs that must be considered when…

Biocybernetic adaptation and privacy
Biocybernetic adaptation is a new approach to optimizing human–computer interfaces and human–computer interaction. Bio-signals and, more broadly, vital data of a person are collected and interpreted in real time by a computer in order to trigger its own adaptive processes. The collection of highly sensitive data is thus a necessary condition for the purpose of making the application more user-friendly. Therefore, the most obvious and important so…
Peasant and Empire in Christian North Africa - By Leslie Dossey
Tilling the Hateful Earth
This work examines the mechanisms of cultivation of the three major crops of the ‘Mediterranean triad’ (grain, wine, and olive oil) during the 4th through 7th centuries AD along the coastlands of the eastern Mediterranean. This book examines the production of crops vital to subsistence, and also argues that the late antique Levant witnessed a period of demographic growth, a rising market in the demand for commodities, and competitive elite that i…
Tilling the hateful earth
The Countryside in Late Antiquity
Chapter 2 explores the built landscape of Oriens, and deals with the important question of land tenure. Although it appears that wealthy elites were important landholders in the region, and that the salaried bureaucratic classes of the empire were both aggressive and successful at gaining control over large land areas, The chapter argues that a large number of free-holding farmers persisted and that their ranks were joined by numerous less-holder…
Plants and Progress
Since it was first proposed in the 1970s, the concept of an Islamic agricultural revolution, in which new plants and techniques spread rapidly from east to west and transformed agriculture in the Mediterranean basin, has gained widespread acceptance. Based on an investigation of a sample of plants, the present article argues that changes in farming attributed to the era of classical Islam were far more complex and distended than previously acknow…
Caregiving robots and ethical reflection
Water Into Wine
Wine production in the late antique Levant depended on the existence of large internal and overseas markets. Estate owners and farmers reacted to the flourishing late antique wine market by investing heavily in the land. This input included the widespread adoption of, hitherto under-utilised, more efficient wine presses. Accompanying the use of the screw press in wine production was the simultaneous spread of the saqiya. This technology required …
