Imperial Cults: Religion and Empire in Early China and Rome
Imperial Cults: Religion and Politics in the Early Han and Roman Empires is a comparative study of the transformation of imperial cult and imperial authority in the early Han and Roman empires. The book begins with a simple observation: that during the reigns of the Emperor Wu of Han and Octavian Augustus of Rome, the rulers undertook substantial reforms to their respective systems of cult, at a time when they were reshaping the idea of imperial …

The Document on Rain (Yushu 雨書): Weather and Prognostication in Early China
The Document on Rain ( Yushu 雨書 ) is a short manuscript that forms part of the Beijing University collection of Han slips. This text, divided into two sections, has thus far garnered little scholarly attention. However, it presents to us an unusual example of a daybook ( rishu 日書 )-type manuscript, one which is primarily concerned with the weather. The Document on Rain , while sharing many characteristics of excavated daybooks, is unusual in its …

Assessing the Acceptability of a Co-Produced Long Covid Intervention in an Underserved Community in the UK
This paper presents the needs and perspectives of eight individuals involved in the process and discusses the needs and preferences of the group in relation to their support for self- managed recovery from Long COVID
Pilgrimage and Purpose: Ancestor Research as Sacred Practice in a Secular Age
This paper explores the ways in which ancestor research has become a replacement for religious community and practice in a post-religious world. We explore the parallels of popular present-day family history pursuits with traditional religious practices, noting the similarities in how the practices are used to foster and strengthen feelings of identity, purpose, and belonging. We look at three particular customs that are common to those intereste…
The Psychology of Family History: Exploring Our Genealogy
This important book examines the motives that drive family historians and explores whether those who research their ancestral pedigrees have distinct personalities, demographics or family characteristics. It describes genealogists’ experiences as they chart their family trees including their insights, dilemmas and the fascinating, sometimes disturbing and often surprising, outcomes of their searches. Drawing on theory and research from psychology…
Repairing the Yellow River Breach at Huzi: Flood Control and Immortality during the Reign of Han Wudi
In 132 BCE, there was a massive breach of the Yellow River, and the flood which ensued inundated large tracts of farmland and displaced the regions’ inhabitants. The breach was not successfully repaired for twenty-three years, until 109 BCE, when Han Wudi (r. 141-87 BCE) personally intervened and ordered the breach repaired. The affair is recounted in the Shiji “Treatise on the Yellow River and Canals” (Hequ shu 河渠書). Historians have speculated t…

Collective knowledge brokering: The model and impact of an embedded team
Background: The Bristol Knowledge Mobilisation (KM) Team was an unusual collective brokering model, consisting of a multi-professional team of four managers and three academics embedded in both local healthcare policymaking (aka commissioning) and academic primary care. Aims and objectives: They aimed to encourage ‘research-informed commissioning’ and ‘commissioning-informed research’. This paper covers context, structure, processes, advantages, …
Knowledge brokers or relationship brokers? The role of an embedded knowledge mobilisation team
Aim: Policymaking decisions are often uninformed by research and research is rarely influenced by policymakers. To bridge this ‘know-do’ gap, a boundary-spanning knowledge mobilisation (KM) team was created by embedding researchers-in-residence and local policymakers into each other’s organisations. Through increasing the two-way flow of knowledge via social contact, KM team members fostered collaborations and the sharing of ‘mindlines’, aiming t…
Predicting Final Course Performance From Students' Written Self-Introductions: A Liwc Analysis
Using a sample of 363 participants, we tested whether differences in the use of linguistic categories in written self-introductions at the start of the semester predicted final course performance at the end of the semester. The results supported this possibility: Course performance could indeed be predicted by relative word usage in particular linguistic categories-predominantly by the use of punctuation (commas and quotes), word simplicity, firs…
F#!%ing Rudeness: Predicting the Propensity to Verbally Abuse Strangers
In an online survey study ( n = 275), several demographic and personality variables were used to predict scores on the Rudeness Scale, a new measure of the propensity to verbally abuse strangers. The results of multiple regression analyses revealed a number of significant main effects. These effects revealed that the people in the authors' sample who reported the greatest propensity to verbally abuse strangers were Hispanic/Latino or Black indivi…
Juvenile prostitution and community rehabilitation: An exploratory analysis of beliefs and values
A community, juvenile prostitution rehabilitation programme in Bogotá, Colombia, South America is described; and beliefs and values of the residents were explored. Multiple sorting procedures and multi‐dimensional scaling analysis elicited qualitative, structured, self‐report data, and investigated cognitive constructs. Participants discriminated between belief‐statements along two global dimensions: street‐life and prostitution; and rehabilitati…
Comorbid Depression, Chronic Pain, and Disability in Primary Care
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to provide estimates of the prevalence and strength of association between major depression and chronic pain in a primary care population and to examine the clinical burden associated with the two conditions, singly and together. Methods: A random sample of Kaiser Permanente patients who visited a primary care clinic was mailed a questionnaire assessing major depressive disorder (MDD), chronic pain, p…
