Using qualitative exit interviews to explore schizophrenia burden and treatment experience in clinical trial patients
Collection of qualitative information within a schizophrenia clinical development process provides value and insights into patients' views on burden of illness, experiences with previous medications, and experiences following participation in a clinical trial and can inform design for future studies
The Letters of the Ethiopian Ambassador Mateus and his Embassy to Lisbon
The relationship between Ethiopia and Prester John, the mythical ruler from the East searched for by the Latin Christians of Europe since the twelfth century, is long established in scholarship for the period between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries. This relationship, however, appears one sided in the surviving source corpus with no reference to Prester John found in any Gǝʿǝz texts. Indeed, the Ethiopian monks at the Council of Florence…
A Short Note on Queen Gaua
The Nubian Christian kingdom of Dotawo is attested in Old Nubian sources from the eleventh to the late fifteenth centuries. The reign of Dotawo’s last “king” is dated to the period between 1463 and 1483 (at least). This short note wishes to highlight another ruler, a Queen Gaua (or Jawe), who is mentioned by the Portuguese historian João de Barros in his imperial history entitled the Terceira Década da Ásia (“Third Decade of Asia”), published in …
The Nubian “King” in Constantinople (1203)
The visit of the Nubian “king” to Constantinople in 1203 during the Fourth Crusade was a unique episode in the history of crusading and survives in only one account, that of the French knight Robert de Clari. No other Crusade witnessed a similar encounter with a Nubian royal, yet the “king’s” appeareance is not described by any other Latin European, or even alluded to in contemporary Byzantine documents either. Despite this apparent ignorance in …
Red Sea Entanglement
What happens to the ability to retrace networks when individual agents cannot be named and current archaeology is limited? In these circumstances, such networks cannot be traced, but, as this case study will show, they can be reconstructed and their effects can still be witnessed. This article will highlight how Latin European intellectual development regarding the Christian African kingdoms of Nubia and Ethiopia is due to multiple and far-reachi…
African Dominion
The history of West Africa has long suffered from a lack of modern works offering regional syntheses for the period prior to the sixteenth century, especially in English. In the forty years since the second edition of Nehemia Levtzion’s Ancient Ghana and Mali (1973; second edn 1980), there has not been a similar regional history of the Senegal and Niger Valleys until the publication of Michael Gomez’s thought-provoking, beautifully written and mu…
The African Adoption of the Portuguese Crusade during the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries
The Portuguese engagement with the continent of Africa following the conquest of Ceuta in 1415 was framed, among numerous conditions, as a crusade (Portuguese: cruzada ). However, crusading influences on Portuguese expansion are often sidelined in favour of economic motives. Unlike North and north-east Africa's connected histories with the Crusades (1095–1291) and the continual role of crusading in the following centuries, the fifteenth century o…
A Note towards Quantifying the Medieval Nubian Diaspora
Throughout the Christian medieval period of the kingdoms of Nubia (c. sixth–fifteenth centuries), ideas, goods, and peoples traversed vast distances. Judging from primarily external sources, the Nubian diaspora has seldom been thought of as vast, whether in number or geographical scope, both in terms of the relocated and a non-permanently domiciled diaspora. Prior to the Christianisation of the kingdoms of Nobadia, Makuria, and Alwa in the sixth …
Encyclopedia of Adaptations in the Natural World
This is a fascinating encyclopedia comparing the most important adaptations and evolutions in the natural world with the most important discoveries and inventions of human history. Welcome to the amazing world of adaptations, where species—including humans—develop fascinating new capabilities to ensure a competitive edge in their environment, or in some cases, survival itself. Encyclopedia of Adaptations in the Natural World is a wide-ranging cat…
