Lyme borreliosis risk perceptions, disease knowledge, and training among at-risk groups
These findings identify the need for more robust risk communication in Ireland, more training for at-risk groups, and the use of targeted awareness campaigns to address knowledge gaps. The implications of the study findings for international research are also discussed
Citizen Science Mosquito Surveillance by Ad Hoc Observation Using the iNaturalist Platform
Citizen science mosquito surveillance has been growing in recent years due to both increasing concern about mosquito-borne disease and the increasing popularity of citizen science projects globally. Health authorities are recognising the potential importance of citizen science to expanding or enhancing traditional surveillance programs. Different programs have shown success in engaging communities to monitor species of medical importance through …
Excavations at the Darband-I Rania Pass, Kurdistan Region of Iraq
This paper presents the results of the work of the new field initiative launched by the British Museum at the Darband-i Rania pass in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The pass is located at the northeastern corner of Lake Dokan, where, though now subsumed into the lake, the Lower Zab flows from the Peshdar into the Rania Plain. It is a strategic location on a major route from Mesopotamia into Iran, and control of both the road and the river must alw…
Friends, Romans, Errors
From Montaigne’s essay “On Friendship” to popular philosophy of the mid twentieth and early twenty-first centuries (C.S. Lewis’ The Four Loves and Joseph Epstein’s Friendship: An Exposé ) to scholarship of the past few decades, this chapter shows how such texts rely to varying degrees upon the binarisms true/false, correct/incorrect, right/wrong in their descriptions and evaluations of Roman friendship. This chapter asks not whether this or that …
Too Gross for Our Present Notions of Propriety
This chapter considers two mid-nineteenth-century translations of Martial: the mass-market Bohn’s Classical Library edition, published in 1859, and the Index Expurgatorius, privately published and clandestinely circulated in 1868. The latter claimed to render into English those epigrams ‘hitherto omitted by English translators’, and specifically those expurgated by the Bohn’s edition, which had omitted those epigrams considered ‘too gross for our…
Infectious Diseases, Urbanization and Climate Change
China is one of the largest countries in the world with nearly 20% of the world's population. There have been significant improvements in economy, education and technology over the last three decades. Due to substantial investments from all levels of government, the public health system in China has been improved since the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak. However, infectious diseases still remain a major population health i…
The Meanings of Softness
Taking the adjective mollis and related words (mollitia, mollire, etc.) as my example, I suggest how some of the tools used by linguists working in the area of lexical semantics can supplement the rich resources of lexicography (TLL) by shedding further light on the question of what it means to ask what a word “means” in general, and how this set of words in particular fits into the sex-gender system informing the Latin textual tradition. Out of …
Prostitution, Sexuality, and the Law in Ancient Rome
Ovid, Martial, and Poetic Immortality
Martial was clearly well read in Ovid. His epigrams display various turns of phrase and metrical features reminiscent of his predecessor, whom he cites on a number of occasions as an important figure in Roman poetry, sometimes implying that Ovid is second only to Virgil or even the equivalent of the latter in light verse. 1 Here I wish to consider the ways in which one of Ovid's meditations on his own poetic activity, Amores 1.15, leaves various …
What’s in a name
Examines the effect of an ethnically identifiable name on the initial résumé/application review process. Also examines raters’ salary expectations
