Creation of Functional Replica Roman and Late Antique Musical Instruments through 3D Scanning and Printing Technology, and their use in research and museum education
Replica artefacts are a well-established feature of Roman archaeology, particularly as used in experimental archaeology, by re-enactors, and in museum education. 3D scanning offers a new methodology for the accurate production of such artefacts, which can then be used both in scholarly research and in public engagement activities. This article describes methodologies for 3D scanning and 3D printing, together with appropriate craft techniques, in …

Between 1899 and 1907, the medium Rosalie Thompson-giving voice to her dead daughter, Nelly-participated in a number of experimental seances with the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), which were formative in the development of the society's theories of telepathy, personality and survival. Using the extensive séance notes taken by the researchers, and the range of published materials related to the case, this article situates psychical researc…
Intimacy in Modern British History
Recent developments in the history of modern Britain have led to the emergence of a history of intimacy, whether or not it is recognized as such. This historiographical review argues that intimacy is a useful category of historical analysis. Thinking in terms of inter-relationships between different forms of intimacy allows us to think with greater conceptual clarity about these forms, as well as types of intimacy that are difficult to categorize…
Ten Lessons for Good Practice for the Inherit Triple Win
The world's challenges of climate change, damage to ecosystems, and social and health inequalities require changes in human behaviours at every level of organisation, among governments, business, communities, and individuals. An important question is how behaviour change can be enabled and supported at the scale and speed required. The research reported in this paper describes important lessons for good practice in changing contexts to modify beh…
How Good Is our Place—Implementation of the Place Standard Tool in North Macedonia
This study describes the implementation, in North Macedonia, of a "tool", initially devised in Scotland, to generate community and stakeholder discussion about the places in which they live and notably a place's capacity to generate health wellbeing and greater equity among citizens. In this study, the "place standard tool" (PST) is viewed from the perspective of creating places which can deliver a triple win of health and wellbeing, equity, and …
The Inherit Model
The need for analysis and action across the interrelated domains of human behaviors and lifestyles, environmental sustainability, health and inequality is increasingly apparent. Currently, these areas are often not considered in conjunction when developing policies or interventions, introducing the potential for suboptimal or conflicting outcomes. The INHERIT model has been developed within the EU-funded project INHERIT as a tool to guide thinkin…
Cardiovascular disease and air pollution in Scotland
This study suggests that in small cities, where air quality is relatively good, then either PM10 concentrations have no effect on cardiovascular ill health, or that the routinely available data and the corresponding study design are not sufficient to detect an association

Hygiene training and education of food handlers
In spite of improving knowledge and understanding of epidemiology of food‐borne diseases and illnesses, efforts to reduce their impact on health and the economy have proved inadequate, and their incidence continues to rise. Because most outbreaks result from faulty food handling practices, it is generally believed that hygiene training of food handlers could contribute significantly to prevention and control, but there is uncertainty about the ef…
The incidence of moulds within 525 dwellings in the United Kingdom
Airborne viable mould spore counts were determined for living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms within 503 council houses in Edinburgh and Glasgow (UK); at least one child lived in each house. Approximately one‐half of the 1709 rooms sampled contained 300 cfu m‐3, indicating a positive relationship between surface growth and air spore levels. The most common genera isolated from internal surfaces (including those from a further 22 London houses) were …
