The Celtic Crosses are an original phenomenon that unites in itself spiritual traditions of the East and artistic heritage of the West. The original basic shape of the idea is Indo-Iranian and it was close to Celtic mentality. Old myths were translated into a symbolic language of art. The particular feature of the Celtic Cross is the co-existence of Nature and Bible, Myth and Christology.

The author in the article refers to a broad discussion on the origin of ideas and artistic inspiration for Celtic crosses. She refers to a Hilary Richardson of the Armenian and Georgian origin of the concept of the Celtic cross, also to the results of her book The symbols of pagan Celtic crosses. Myths, symbols, images. In this book she indicates a cultural affinity of Ireland and the Syria. She points to the compositional and iconographic parallels between the Early Medieval Irish crosses and tombs mosaics of Edessa, dated to the III century. Reinforcing the thesis of H. Richardson, indicates the possibility of the existence an artistic tradition, in Late Antiquity and Early Medieval Syria, which is able to reach Ireland. She indicates the Celtic crosses, which have the most parallels with Syrian decoration (monasteries from Arboe, Monasterboice, Kells, Clones). The author concludes that they are grouped only in the Middle East of Ireland, in several counties (Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Tyron).

Abstract In this paper, the framework of Cultural Linguistics is employed to examine how older people from two different ethnic backgrounds in Australia conceptualize ageing and their own experience of ageing. The paper employs a qualitative method for the instantiations of interviews from two focus groups of Australian women. The results indicated that women of Anglo-Celtic background had a more self-oriented perception of ageing, aged care and self, while women of Chinese background had a more relational outlook. However, the evidence indicated that changes were taking place in both traditions despite a certain degree of continuity.

This paper explores the cross-cultural portrayals of an unusual and striking musical instrument, the carnyx, on the coinages of the Romans and the inhabitants of Iron Age Britain and Gaul. Fashioned as a snarling boar, the carnyx was a war horn used by the Gauls and Britons that not only captivated the minds of their artists, but also those of the Romans. This paper studies the cross-cultural phenomenon of its appearance in the coin iconography of the late second to late first centuriesbc. This simultaneous analysis of Roman, Gallic and British coinage reveals that while each culture had a shared belief in the carnyx’s military role, each culture also had its own interpretation of the object’s significance. To the Romans, it was a symbol of the barbarian, to be cherished as a war trophy after a Roman victory, but to those northern Europeans, it was a sign of pride and spiritual significance. An image’s meaning is, therefore, seen to transform as it crosses into a new cultural context.

This article argues that despite traditional skepticism among most specialists on the history of English that Brythonic Celtic languages could have had any significant structural impact on English's evolution, the source of periphrastic do in Cornish's equivalent construction is virtually impossible to deny on the basis of a wide range of evidence. That Welsh and Cornish borrowed the construction from English is impossible given its presence in Breton, whose speakers left Britain in the fifth century. The paucity of Celtic loanwords in English is paralleled by equivalent paucity in undisputed contact cases such as Uralic's on Russian. Traditional language-internal accounts suffer from a degree of ad hocness. Finally, periphrastic do is much rarer cross-linguistically than typically acknowledged, which lends further support to a contact account.

Full textAbstract:
Irenaeus flourished toward the end of the second century as a bishop in Lugdunum (modern Lyons, France). He is important for several reasons, but scholarly interests in Irenaeus have focused chiefly on his place in the history of Christian thought and his churchmanship. Although his mission/evangelistic work is routinely mentioned by church historians, little effort has been made to extract from his apologetical-catechetical writings something of his missiology. As a native of Asia Minor, he engaged in cross-cultural work among the pagan Celtic peoples of southern Gaul. Two aspects of his missiology are probed: cultural adjustment in linguistics and his motivation for the task. Missiologically, he stands as a thoughtful combination of missionary-theologian-churchman.

ObjectivesDespite a recent fall in the incidence of HIV within the UK, men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to be disproportionately affected. As biomedical prevention technologies including pre-exposure prophylaxis are increasingly taken up to reduce transmission, the role of HIV testing has become central to the management of risk. Against a background of lower testing rates among older MSM, this study aimed to identify age-related factors influencing recent (≤12 months) HIV testing.MethodsCross-sectional subpopulation data from an online survey of sexually active MSM in the Celtic nations—Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland (n=2436)—were analysed to compare demographic, behavioural and sociocultural factors influencing HIV testing between MSM aged 16–25 (n=447), 26–45 (n=1092) and ≥46 (n=897).ResultsMultivariate logistic regression demonstrated that for men aged ≥46, not identifying as gay (OR 0.62, CI 0.41 to 0.95), location (Wales) (OR 0.49, CI 0.32 to 0.76) and scoring higher on the personalised Stigma Scale (OR 0.97, CI 0.94 to 1.00) significantly reduced the odds for HIV testing in the preceding year. Men aged 26–45 who did not identify as gay (OR 0.61, CI 0.41 to 0.92) were also significantly less likely to have recently tested for HIV. For men aged 16–25, not having a degree (OR 0.48, CI 0.29 to 0.79), location (Republic of Ireland) (OR 0.55, CI 0.30 to 1.00) and scoring higher on emotional competence (OR 0.57, CI 0.42 to 0.77) were also significantly associated with not having recently tested for HIV.ConclusionKey differences in age-related factors influencing HIV testing suggest health improvement interventions should accommodate the wide diversities among MSM populations across the life course. Future research should seek to identify barriers and enablers to HIV testing among the oldest and youngest MSM, with specific focus on education and stigma.

Full textAbstract:
Cultural differences in the dynamics of conflict between parents and adolescents were studied in 40 working-class Australian resident families, 20 of whom were of Anglo-Celtic descent and 20 Greek-born, and 40 Greekresident families, 20 of whom were working-class and 20 professional class. Levels and seriousness of conflict were investigated as well as three aspects of conflict dynamics: behaviour during conflict, styles of resolving conflict, and beliefs about the consequences of conflict. Mothers and adolescents were more aware than fathers of conflict and its effect on family life, they had a more differentiated set of conflict behaviours and were able to accept conflict as part of life which need not have long-term serious consequences. The results suggested that although cultural variation in response to conflict was not extensive, the immigrant Greek parents responded in ways which reflected both their Greek origin and their country of residence while their adolescents appeared to have moved towards an Anglo-Australian mode of responding. Implications for a culture conflict model, a cultural differences model and an assimilation model of intergenerational conflict in immigrant families are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse the role of employers as “institutional” factors in the creation of segmentation in the labour market. Industrial structure defines segments of the labour market (the employer) based on the nature of demand, and with the impact on the individual workers or groups based on their personal characteristics.Design/methodology/approachEmpirical work is within the Dublin labour market, which experienced the largest increase in availability of migrant workers under immigration policies of the Celtic Tiger state. Focused on the sectors of catering, cleaning and security as low‐skilled service sector providers, the analysis is based on 24 semi‐structured interviews with employers selected based on a database of a cross‐section of all employers in the selected sectors in Dublin.FindingsSemi‐structured interviews reinforce state policies as key institutional factor underlying migrant labour trends and experiences, but perspectives of the employers in low‐end service industries reveal additional insights. In addition to using migrant labour as a means of cost cutting, the daily actions of employers reveal cultural stereotyping of workers, making them an elemental component “exploiting” the trends facilitated by state immigration policies.Originality/valueAlthough a large body of research on migration into Ireland during the Celtic Tiger years is available, little of it has focused on labour market processes. More broadly, in attempting to understand labour market processes and the creation of segmentation there needs to be a triangulation of processes of supply, demand and state policies; and employers are key players in shaping demand and exploiting supply trends.

Full textAbstract:
La civilisation celtique insulaire se caractérisait par un fort substrat païen. Le sacré pouvait s’incarner dans toute chose et se matérialiser au sein du paysage, qu’il soit naturel ou aménagé par l’homme. Dès le Néolithique, la pierre fut adoptée afin d’honorer les divinités et son emploi perdura pendant de nombreux millénaires. Grâce aux sources textuelles vernaculaires, il est possible de recenser de nombreuses valeurs d’usage à l’élément lithique, puisqu’il fut aussi bien associé au domaine astronomique qu’à celui du funéraire. Son utilisation n’était pas dévolue à une seule catégorie d’individus, rois, guerriers et religieux pouvant tour à tour en avoir la jouissance. L’arrivée des émissaires de la nouvelle foi entre les Ve et VIe siècles bouleversa les rites et les pratiques des populations locales. Bien qu’elles se soient soumises aux préceptes du Dieu unique, elles réussirent à conserver des fragments de leur héritage qui perdurèrent par le biais du vieux fond mythologique, couché par écrit par les scribes médiévaux. La présente étude propose une incursion dans cette époque méconnue, où histoire et légende se mêlentThe insular Celtic civilization was characterized by a strong pagan substratum. The sacred was embodied in everything and could be observed in the landscape, whether natural or man-made. Since the Neolithic, stones were used to honor divinities and this practice continued for many millennia. Thanks to vernacular textual sources, it is possible to identify many uses of the lithic element, since it was associated with astronomy as well as with burial practices. However, it was not reserved to a specific group and kings, warriors, druids or clerics could all have access to it. With the arrival of the emissaries of the new Christian faith between the 5th and the 6th centuries, local rites and practices were disrupted. Although the Celtic people submitted to the precepts of the one God, they still succeeded in preserving fragments of their heritage that survived through their mythology as recorded by medieval scribes. This study is an attempt at a foray into an obscure period where history and legend merge

Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies ravens and crows in Celtic and Norse mythology before and after the emergence of Christianity. There are five research questions the thesis concentrates on. First, are there any shared meanings in Celtic and Norse mythologies with regard to ravens and crows, and in what respect do these meanings differ in Celtic and Norse mythologies? The second research question is whether there are any possible reasons behind Celtic and Norse mythologies using these birds in a (possibly) similar manner in some context, and in a (possibly) different manner in the other. The question as to whether the use of raven and crow in these epics is interchangeable is also looked into. Fourth, after looking into ravens and crows in the Celtic and Norse mythologies, their symbolical meanings in The Bible are studied. Finally, by comparing these meanings the aim of this thesis is to find out whether emerging of Christianity would have, based on these texts, changed the way people regard these birds. The research material consists of three texts: The Táin, Edda and The Doauy-Rheims Bible, The Táin being an Irish epic, Edda a Norse epic and Doauy-Rheims Bible a translation from The Vulgate Bible. The theoretical background section of this thesis sheds some light on how Christianity gained ground in Ireland and Nordic countries. The findings show that the way ravens and crows are portrayed in The Táin and Edda are somewhat similar, however, there seems to be difference in how natural these birds and their actions appeared to people. These birds are used in a rather intermixed way in both of the epics, but in some contexts Edda separates crows to be somewhat inferior to ravens. The Bible brings a different view on how these birds are perceived. They are created by God, inferior to him and humans. Therefore, a continuum can be established from The Táin where crows and ravens are closest to deities and their actions are perceived to be natural, to Edda where these birds were deemed as part of life of humans and deities but, for example, gods and goddesses do not transform to ravens or crows as in The Táin. In Edda, ravens’ and crows’ feeding on carrion is not seen quite as natural as in The Táin. In The Bible, then, these birds are valued as part of Creation but they are clearly inferior to God and humans. Thus, based on the research material, emergence of Christianity has brought with it a different relationship to natureTutkielma käsittelee korppeja ja variksia kelttiläisessä ja muinaisnorjalaisessa mytologiassa ennen ja jälkeen kristinuskoa. Tutkimuskysymyksiä on viisi. Ensimmäisenä tutkitaan, onko kelttiläisessä ja muinaisnorjalaisessa mytologiassa yhteisiä merkityksiä korpeille ja variksille sekä miltä osin merkitykset taas eroavat toisistaan. Toinen tutkimuskysymys on, löytyykö mahdollisia syitä sille, miksi kelttiläisessä ja muinaisnorjalaisessa mytologiassa käytetään näitä lintuja (mahdollisesti) samalla tavalla jossain asiayhteydessä ja (mahdollisesti) eri tavalla toisessa asiayhteydessä. Tutkielma käsittelee myös sitä, onko korppi- ja varis- nimityksiä käytetty rinnasteisesti. Kun on käsitelty korppeja ja variksia kelttiläisessä ja muinaisnorjalaisessa mytologiassa, tutkitaan näiden lintujen symbolisia merkityksiä Raamatussa. Lopuksi vertailemalla näitä merkityksiä pyritään ottamaan selvää — perustuen tutkimusmateriaalina käytettyihin teksteihin — ihmisten suhtautuminen korppeihin ja variksiin muuttunut kristinuskon tulon jälkeen. Tutkimusmateriaali koostuu kolmesta tekstistä: The Táinista, Eddasta ja Doauy-Rheims -Raamatusta. The Táin on irlantilainen, Edda taas muinaisnorjalainen eepos, Douay-Rheims- Raamattu taas käännös Versio Vulgatasta. Tutkielman teoriaosuudessa käsiteltiin sitä, miten kristinusko valtasi maaperää Irlannissa ja Pohjoismaissa. Tutkimuksen perusteella voidaan todeta, että korpit ja varikset esitetään sekä The Táinissa että Eddassa melko samalla tavalla. On kuitenkin havaittavissa ero siinä, kuinka luonnollisina nämä linnut ja niiden toiminnot näyttäytyvät ihmisille. Korppi- ja varis- nimityksiä käytetään molemmissa eepoksissa varsin rinnasteisesti, tosin Eddassa varikset nähdään joissain kohdin korppeja alempiarvoisina. Raamatun myötä tulee mukaan hiukan erilainen tapa nähdä korpit. Jumala on luonut ne itseään ja ihmisiä alempiarvoisiksi. Näin ollen, tekstit voidaan nähdä eräänlaisena jatkumona The Táinista jossa varikset ja korpit ovat lähinnä jumalia ja niiden toiminta nähdään luonnollisena, Eddaan, jossa nämä linnut nähtiin osana ihmisten ja jumalten elämää mutta esimerkiksi The Táinista löytyvä jumalten muuntautuminen näiksi linnuiksi puuttuu Eddasta. Eddassa myöskään korppien ja varisten haaskansyöntiä ei nähdä niin luonnollisena tapahtumana kuin The Táinissa. Jatkumon toisessa päässä on Raamattu, jossa näitä lintuja kyllä pidetään arvossa siinä mielessä, että ne ovat osa luomakuntaa, mutta ne ovat selvästi Jumalaa ja ihmisiä alempiarvoisia. Näin ollen tutkimusmateriaalin perusteella kristinuskon rantautuminen toi mukanaan toisenlaisen luonto-suhteen

Full textAbstract:
Dans les conditions physiologiques des robustes mécanismes immunologiques empêchent le développement des réponses exagérées aux antigènes alimentaires. En revanche, dans le cas de maladie céliaque, qui affecte environ 1% de la population occidentale, l’exposition au gluten alimentaire d’individus génétiquement prédisposés HLA-DQ2.5/DQ8 provoque l’entéropathie chronique de l’intestin grêle. Les études précédentes chez l’homme ont établi le rôle crucial de la réponse cellulaire T CD4+ restreinte par HLA-DQ2.5/DQ8 et spécifique du gluten. La réponse T CD4+ est nécessaire mais cependant insuffisante pour induire des lésions tissulaires. D’autres études ont suggéré le rôle de l’interleukine 15 (IL-15). Ainsi, l’IL-15 surexprimée dans la muqueuse des patients céliaques peut interférer avec les mécanismes d’immunorégulation et stimuler l’activation des lymphocytes intraépithéliaux T CD8+ cytotoxiques probablement induisant des lésions épithéliales. Comment les cellules T CD4+ spécifiques du gluten et l’IL-15 interagissent pour activer les lymphocytes intraépithéliaux T CD8+ et induisent des lésions n’a pas été toutefois établi. Pour répondre à cette question, nous avons créé un modèle murin basé en croisant des souris OTII possédant des cellules T CD4+ spécifiques de l’antigène modèle, ovalbumine, avec les souris transgéniques hétérozygotes surexprimant une forme secrétée de l’IL-15 humaine dans l’épithélium intestinale (souris hIL-15Tge). Les souris obtenues OTII+/- B6 and OTII+/- hIL-15Tge+/- ont été mises au régime riche en ovalbumine depuis la période prénatale jusqu’à l’âge de 3 mois. Les souris OTII+/- hIL-15Tge+/-, contrairement aux souris OTII+/- B6, exposées de façon chronique à l’ovalbumine ont développé un retard de croissance et une atrophie villositaire associée à l’expansion des cellules intestinales T CD8+ cytotoxiques, comme dans la maladie céliaque. En outre, nous avons démontré que l’IL-15 altérait l’immunorégulation par les cellules T FoxpP3+ et coopérait avec l’IL-2, produite par les cellules T CD4+ activées par l’OVA, pour l’expansion des cellules T CD8+ non-spécifiques de l’OVA. Nous suggérons que le scénario similaire pourrait opérer dans la maladie céliaque. Au cours de cette étude, j’ai observé que la surexpression chronique de l’IL-15 était associée avec l’expansion de cellules dendritiques CD103+CD11c+CD11b-. Dans la partie de résultats supplémentaires, j’ai démontré que cet effet dépend de la production de la cytokine GM-CSF secrétée par les cellules Natural Killer (NK) activées par l’IL-15 et que ces cellules dendritiques étaient enrichies en cellules CD103+ ayant une capacité accrue de cross-présentation in vitro. Ces derniers résultats illustrent comment l’IL-15 peut moduler les réponses immunes adaptatives en orchestrant la coopération entre les cellules NK et les phagocytes mononucléairesIn physiological conditions, robust immunological mechanisms avoid adverse responses to food antigens. In contrast, in celiac disease that affects about 1% of Western populations, exposure to dietary gluten of genetically predisposed HLA-DQ2.5/ DQ8 individuals triggers a chronic small intestinal enteropathy. Previous studies in humans have established the crucial role of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 restricted gluten-specific intestinal CD4 T cell response. This CD4 T cell response is necessary but is however not sufficient to induce tissue damage. Other studies have pointed to the role of interleukin 15 (IL-15). Thus, IL-15 over-expressed in the mucosa of celiac patients can interfere with immunoregulatory mechanisms and stimulate the activation of cytotoxic CD8 T intraepithelial lymphocytes, thought to induce epithelial lesions. Whether and how gluten-specific CD4 T cells and IL-15 interact to activate CD8 T intraepithelial lymphocytes and to drive intestinal tissue damage has not been however established. To address this question, we have set up a mouse model based on the breeding of OTII mice possessing CD4 T cells specific of a model antigen, ovalbumin, with heterozygous transgenic mice overexpressing a secreted form of human IL-15 in intestinal epithelium (hIL-15Tge mice). Resulting OTII+/- B6 and OTII+/- hIL-15Tge+/- mice were exposed to dietary ovalbumin from the prenatal period until 3 months of age. Upon chronic exposure to ovalbumin, OTII+/- hIL-15Tge+ mice, contrary to their OTII+/- B6 littermates, developed growth retardation, and villous atrophy associated with expansion of intestinal cytotoxic CD8 T cells, as in celiac disease. Moreover, we showed that IL-15 impaired immunoregulation by FoxP3+ T cells and cooperated with IL-2 produced by OVA-activated CD4 T cells to stimulate the expansion of non-cognate cytotoxic CD8 T cells. We suggest that a comparable scenario can operate in celiac disease. During this study, I observed that chronic overexpression of IL-15 was associated with an expansion of CD103+CD11c+CD11b- mononuclear cells. In the Supplementary results, I have shown that this effect depends on the production of GM-CSF secreted by IL-15-activated NK cells and that CD11c+ DCs differentiated in mice overexpressing IL-15 were enriched in CD103+ cells and displayed enhanced cross-presentation abilities in vitro. The latter results illustrate how IL-15, by orchestrating a crosstalk between NK cells and mononuclear phagocytes, can modulate adaptive immune responses

Full textAbstract:
This essay challenges the claim of the antiquarian artist Henry O’Neill that the publication of his 1857 book on early medieval crosses in Ireland sparked the nineteenth-century Celtic cross industry. While acknowledging O’Neill’s contribution as a founding researcher of medieval high cross scholarship, it argues that the design and significance of Celtic crosses developed in Victorian Ireland through social networks of antiquarians, monument makers and their culturally diverse, elite clients. Highlighted is the Irish ecclesiastical decorating firm, Earley & Powells, which began producing Celtic cross monuments in the 1860s. The significance of the Celtic cross silhouette which featured in landscape paintings alongside medieval ruins is considered in view of the conflicted relationship between landscape and Irish aristocracy. The essay concludes with a discussion about two of Earley & Powells’ clients and the monumental Celtic crosses they commissioned.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter complements the volume’s focus on Celtic–Classical interactions within the notion of Britishness by examining the role of such a dialogue in Ireland’s attempts to extricate itself from the British Empire, and by emphasizing the part that Irish scholars and poets have played in shaping Celtic, Roman, and British identities. It focuses on the Revivalist translator and neurologist, George Sigerson (1836–1925), whose comparative reading of ‘Celtic’ and Latin poetry set out to prove an Irish influence on Latin verse, on the one hand by arguing that Cicero was directly influenced in his poetry by a Celtic druid, and on the other by proving that the author of the first Latin biblical epic of Late Antiquity was Irish. The chapter examines these arguments for the forgotten Celticization of Rome in the light of colonial mimicry, before asking how Sigerson put his theories of the postcolonial power of cross-linguistic influence into practice in his own translation strategy. It concludes by highlighting the lasting implications of Sigerson’s call for a new way of reading texts across languages, attuned to verbal and stylistic echoes and so able to dismantle any strict divide between the Celtic and the Classical.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter introduces the subject matter of the book and briefly surveys the literature on dative external possessors cross-linguistically and in the history of English. This corpus-based study adds to the empirical base for assessing hypotheses about the reasons for the loss of dative external possessors as a productive construction in Middle English, drawing on recent advances in linguistic typology, syntactic theory, and language contact. Cross-linguistically, dative external possessors are most likely to be found with affected possessors of inalienable possessa. This study focuses on possessa referring to the body and the mind and compares the use of internal and external possessors, establishing the timing of the loss of the external possessor and evaluating proposed explanations for this syntactic change, including the so-called Celtic Hypothesis.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter is an inquiry into the subcomponent of the Extended Projection Principle (EPP) that is relevant for second position phenomena: the Left Edge Filling Trigger (LEFT). LEFT basically amounts to a classical morphological obligatory exponence effect, except that it is instantiated at the sentence level. It cross-linguistically operates in a post-syntactic realizational morphological module. It is shown that LEFT is an active rule of Universal Grammar, providing empirical arguments from Breton, a Celtic VSO language showing an extra conspicuous V2 requirement. A radical reanalysis of language word order typology is proposed. Classic V2 languages are conspicuously V2. SVO is a subtype. So-called V1 languages are either predicate-fronting languages (Tense second), or inconspicuously V2. A cross-linguistic typology of LEFT effects is presented, with great attention paid to inconspicuous satisfiers, among them null expletives, for which evidence is presented. The chapter argues accordingly for a drastic extension of the typology of expletives.
