Abstract:

The volume contains the commented edition of the Devisement dou monde based on the Berlin Staatsbibliothek - Preußischer Kulturbesitz Codex, Hamilton 424. The Hamilton 424 Codex, transcribed in Venice in the second half of the fifteenth century, contains the translation of a Latin model (whose features can be partially reconstructed virtually starting from some translation errors) and is the only known witness of V. Due to its characteristics, V represents a crucial point in the definition of the transmission dynamics of Polo’s book: its readings are confirmed, often in a broader form, by the

Abstract:

We begin by introducing the formal genus ‘conditional M-relative construct’, of which M-relative truthmakers and falsitymakers, and core proofs, are species. Fortunately they can stand in symbiotic relations, even though they cannot hybridize. We aim to generalize the earlier method we used in order to prove Cut-Elimination, so that the inputs P for the binary operation [P,P′] can be truthmakers (whereas P′ remains a core proof); and so that the reduct itself, when it is finally determined by recursive application of all the transformations called for, is a truthmaker for the conclusion of P′.

This chapter illustrates the extent to which English readers were familiar with French works produced by the reforming writers of Port-Royal and by the controversy over Jansenism which gathered pace after the publication of Jansen’s Augustinus in 1640. It shows that readers from across the spectrum of religious and political opinion in England were aware from an early stage of the principal themes and the major works associated with the controversy, including the output not only of Antoine Arnauld, the intellectual leader of the Port-Royal group, and Pascal, its most celebrated apologist, but

Abstract:

Sharp movements in crude oil prices and their impact on other commodities have renewed interest in the assessment of dynamic interactions between commodity futures markets. This chapter examines this topic by investigating the intensity and direction of volatility transmission across three major classes of commodities, including agricultural products (corn, coffee, and soybeans), energy (crude oil and gas), and metals (copper, gold, and silver). Overall, the evidence suggests that important volatility episodes and fluctuations exist across major commodity markets; the total cross-market spillo

Abstract:

In its most general sense, a medium is a means of transmitting some matter or content from a source to a site of reception. The function of a medium, so construed, is mediation. Natural media such as air and water mediate the transmission of sounds. An art medium, then, is presumably something that mediates the transmission of the content of an artwork to a receiver. Art media, so conceived, have been characterized in a number of different ways: as material or physical kinds (e.g. oil paint, bronze, stone, bodily movements); as ranges of sensible determinables realizable in material or physica

Abstract:

Substance use disorders have been linked to HIV/AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic.

Substances of misuse implicated in HIV transmission include alcohol, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and Ecstasy. Use of both non-injecting drugs and alcohol is also associated with increased sexual and other risk-taking behaviors and seroconversion. In addition, substance use disorders and other psychiatric disorders often coexist and can have

Abstract:

We can draw conclusions about the social context of transmission of secret knowledge. Secret Essene teachings were mentioned in the literary texts of the time. There was evidence of a tripartite division of esoteric groups. Qumran, Manichaeism (though this group does not have secret knowledge), Ascension of Isaiah, 4 Ezra, and 2 Baruch all hinted at these secrets. We look at the mysteries, knowledge, and secrets—the word raz. Secret knowledge was contained within some rabbinic circles, along with forbidden knowledge and the fallen angels. We examine these framework stories in the apocalypses,

Abstract:

The Orphic Hieros Logos in Twenty Four Rhapsodies is one of the last Greek theogonies dating between the late Hellenistic and early Imperial era. The chapter seeks to analyse the way in which divine power is transmitted through six subsequent divine kingships, from Uranus to Dionysus, in the Rhapsodies. In doing so, it argues for a series of significant theological innovations in comparison to both Hesiod’s Theogony and previous Orphic theogonies (Derveni papyrus). The main novelty is that the violent transmission (as symbolized by the sickle) is complemented by the voluntary and pacific trans

Abstract:

Tularemia, caused by the gram-negative coccobacillus Francisella tularensis, is an extremely infectious bacterial zoonosis. Symptoms depend on site of exposure; they can be nonspecific and may include fever, lymphadenopathy, ulcer or papule, and nausea/vomiting. Natural transmission occurs via small mammals, such as rabbits, or arthropod bites. IV or IM antibiotics are preferred over oral forms. Supportive care is also critical; some patients may require respiratory support. If used as a biological weapon, aerosolized F. tularensis would be the most likely route of transmission.

Abstract:

This article examines the issue of climate change in the context of ecocriticism. It analyzes some of the narrative forms employed in the mediation of climate change science, focusing on those used by mediators who are not themselves scientists in the transmission of scientific information to a nonspecialist readership or audience. It reviews four relevant works that combine the communication of scientific theories and facts with pedagogical and motivational impulses. These include Davis Guggenheim’s documentary film An Inconvenient Truth, Fred Pearce’s book The Last Generation: How Nature Wil

Abstract:

Between about 2,600 and 2,400 years ago, a group of men lived whose thought formed the beginning of the discipline of philosophy. All contemporary material records of these men have disappeared, with the possible exception of a piece of a statue and some likenesses on early coins and vases. The very notion that these philosophers can be best understood as Presocratics is redolent with interpretative interventions. Although this view is not without ancient precedents, the driving force behind its dominance in the twentieth century was the great achievement of the German classical scholar Herman

This chapter explores some of the unique challenges that often put women at higher risk of HIV infection and that create a course of illness that may differ from that found in men living with HIV. The first portion of the chapter discusses manifestations of HIV infection and the course of infection in women. It also addresses the particular issues associated with antiretroviral treatment (ART) and women, and the interactions between ART and depression in women. The chapter then goes on to broach an important topic that puts many women at high risk for HIV infection: gender-based violence, as w

Abstract:

Burge maintains that human beings are entitled to accept the testimony of other human beings simply in virtue of the fact that we are all rational believers. Reid maintains that human testimony depends on distinctive features of human psychology that may not be shared by all rational creatures. This chapter argues that, on this point, Reid is correct. The transmission of belief (and so knowledge) exploits our human emotional psychology and in particular the impact the expression of emotion makes on other humans. It would not work among rational creatures with a different emotional psychology.

Abstract:

Drawing this book to a close, this concluding chapter returns to the core theoretical and empirical claims made in the opening chapter and throughout the book. It summarises those policies that Gordon Brown transposed from New Labour’s domestic political economy to meet his undoubted concern for international development, and the analysis offered in respect of each of these policies. The significance of this policy transmission from the domestic to the international spheres is explored, and the critical tensions inherent in such a strategy, are teased out. Gordon Brown was clearly passionate a

Abstract:

This article examines the city of London—its history, topography, governance, people—as a most fruitful subject of books in the late medieval period. It considers a poem that praises London’s “renown, riches and royalte” as an example of metropolitan textual production and transmission during the period. It also explores some of the contexts in which manuscript and print were brought together, or conversely kept apart, in the decades which immediately followed the introduction of printing to England by William Caxton in c.1476. In addition, it looks at London readers as a significant audience

Abstract:

The essential trace mineral selenium is a component of antioxidant enzymes and proteins that regulate thyroid hormone metabolism and immune function. Thyroid metabolism is sensitive to selenium in the diet, and selenium deficiency can exacerbate the effects of iodine deficiency. Selenium deficiency is also associated with enhanced viral virulence and is a risk factor for perinatal transmission of HIV. Several selenium-dependent proteins are important in male fertility. Most pregnant women in developed countries will be able to meet selenium requirements through their usual diet, but because so

Abstract:

Chapter 2 broadens traditional scholarship on ancient libraries so as to gauge the roles of these institutions in promoting the exchange and transmission of ideas and values, and the mobility of people, objects, and texts. The privileged ability of libraries to select and canonize texts has long been appreciated, but recognition of their widespread communicative value in Greek and Roman society is a revealing recent advance. After surveying the libraries of Hellenistic rulers and Roman aristocrats, Nicholls concentrates on Augustus’ new regime at Rome, which elevated the importance and visibil

Abstract:

This chapter examines Gallican components in liturgical chants copied in Gregorian manuscripts by focusing on a group of chants for the masses for the Holy Cross. These chants, copied in manuscripts from Aquitaine, bear signs of more remote pre-Gregorian roots that can be recognized in some textual and musical features, in aspects related to their liturgical collocation, and in the theological arguments they contain. Before undertaking an analysis of specific examples, the chapter first considers the extent to which royal decrees influenced chant practices in Carolingian and post-Carolingian E
