Understanding overweight and obesity subgroups
The findings contribute additional insight on differences between specific population groups in relation to key determinants of weight. This understanding should ensure that within an overall systems based approach to tackling this major public health issue, there is adequate attention to delivering more tailored weight management strategies for different groups
Embedding spirituality and compassion into clinical education
The need for spiritually sensitive and compassionate health care is recognised by health-regulatory bodies, yet, they are often not taught in health professional education. Guidelines identify expected competencies, but the best teaching techniques to develop these competencies, are unknown. Spotlights are a novel teaching method designed to integrate compassion and spirituality into existing academic curricula. Spotlights entail a moment in taug…
A questionnaire-based study of attitudes to spirituality in people using mental health services and their perceptions of the relevance of the concept of spiritually competent practice
The Aim of this study was to examine the attitudes of mental health service users towards spirituality and spiritually competent practice. A validated quantitative questionnaire was designed to elicit the perceptions of spirituality and spiritually competent practice. Participants were invited to participate in the study via social media. Standard statistical procedures, including reliability analyses, were applied. Respondents who viewed spiritu…
The association between obesity and quality of life
To conclude, in agreement with the established literature we have found a clear inverse relationship between increasing weight status and decreasing HRQoL and confirmed the mediating role of long-term conditions in the reduction of HRQoL in people with obesity. Nevertheless, a high BMI remains independently related to HRQoL, suggesting that 'healthy people with obesity' may be in transition to an unhealthy future
Are managers open to involvement in employee retirement? The influence of manager psycho-social characteristics, decision-making environment and older employee situational factors
The changing retirement landscape calls on employers to develop practices that respond to individuals’ retirement needs. Line managers are a key stakeholder in managing retirement and this study focuses on how they respond to employee retirement scenarios. This empirical work examines manager openness to involvement in retirement, focusing on three sets of explanatory variables: manager psycho-social characteristics (experience of managing older …
Dining as Spectacle in Late Roman Houses
The elements of visual culture preserved in late Roman houses confirm an intense interest in dramatic visual display. This study employs an interpretive lens of spectacle to examine a new form of banquet space amd furnishings in the period, as well as a new style of ‘dinner-theatre’ they served. By considering ancient art as inseparable from active contexts and ephemeral events, a more sophisticated understanding of a society's self-definition th…
The nature of King James VI/I’s medical conditions
It has been claimed that King James VI/I, an antecedent of King George III, suffered from acute porphyria, and that the disease was passed on to George III through his grand-daughter Sophie, mother of George I. The life of James is reviewed and previously-proposed diagnoses are considered. James’s medical history is discussed in detail and, where possible, examined with validated symptom scales. Using an online database of neurological diseases, …

Independent study and professional education
While there is considerable debate concerning curriculum and qualifications in education for the professions, more account needs to be taken of evidence that professional competence may be related more to modes of study than to syllabus content. Though there may be pressures of innovation within disciplines which seem to legitimise heavier content loadings, the commitment to content-based courses can also be viewed, in Kuhnian terms, as covert in…
The Two Governments and the Two Kingdoms in Luther's Thought
The facet of his thought commonly referred to as the doctrine of the two kingdoms has provoked some of the most intractable confusion and bitter controversy in post-war continental Luther scholarship, and the ripples of this debate which reached these shores have all too often amounted to a litany of sweeping statements which have done nothing to enhance the Reformer's reputation in England. Yet even before Hitler's war Luther had endured a centu…

Art. XI.— On the Ante-Brahmanical Worship of the Hindús in the Dekhan
In former notices on this subject, I have given probable reasons for believing, that those objects of worship among the Hindús which by custom are denied the use of temples—denominated demons by the Brahmans, which do not require the aid of Brahmans for the celebration of the rites by which they are honoured, and even if at all venerated by them have the worship paid them represented as if it were a boon given to Rakshas, slain by some one or oth…
Art. XVI.—On the Ante-Brahmanical Worship of the Hindús
A Singular coincidence exists between the history of the Greek word δαιμων, and the Sanskrit (bhúta). The Greek word is applied by Homer and early Grecian writers, as is well known, to the highest intelligences, and means one possessed of superior knowledge. The Sanskrit Bhúta is derived from the verb which signifies existence, and is applied to the elements of nature, and even to the great God Siva himself. But as δαιμων, with a change of religi…
