The subject of this paper is a small group of cups found by Sir Leonard Woolley in his excavations at Al Mina (now in the Turkish Hatay). It has been hitherto ignored because, with some reason, the vases were believed neither to be Greek imports nor the products of Cypriot or North Syrian potters. I hope to demonstrate that they could be the work of Greek potters established at Al Mina towards the end of the 8th century B.C. by discussing their apparent relationship to contemporary Greek, Cypriot and North Syrian work. Most of the cups and fragments are in Oxford, and there are fragments in the London Institute of Archaeology and the Museum of Classical Archaeology in Cambridge which I have seen. Nos.1–23in Fig. 1 and Plates XXIV–XXV illustrate the shapes and all the types of decoration met in the group.All are two-handled cups, the Greek geometricskyphos. The shape, with decoration of this type, is most common in Euboeo-Cycladic vases of the second half of the 8th century, and a considerable number of theseskyphoiwere carried to Al Mina by the Greeks. It was rarely imitated in Cyprus, as we shall see, and is not at home further east.

In this article, we use digital technologies (the Subcam and Webdiver) to capture, share and analyze collectively specific user experience. We examine the transition between ‘outside’ and ‘inside’ when people come home, and the steps needed to build the ‘being-at-home’ feeling. Understanding what ‘being at home’ means for the subject is part of our larger project of analyzing the impact of home automation. We provide a model which describes the relation between the home and its inhabitant as instrumental ‘functional coupling’, which, when achieved, provides the ‘at home’ feeling. This article illustrates how digital tools can make the ethnographic approach a collaborative analysis of human experience.

AbstractSeven half-day regional listening sessions were held between December 2016 and April 2017 with groups of diverse stakeholders on the issues and potential solutions for herbicide-resistance management. The objective of the listening sessions was to connect with stakeholders and hear their challenges and recommendations for addressing herbicide resistance. The coordinating team hired Strategic Conservation Solutions, LLC, to facilitate all the sessions. They and the coordinating team used in-person meetings, teleconferences, and email to communicate and coordinate the activities leading up to each regional listening session. The agenda was the same across all sessions and included small-group discussions followed by reporting to the full group for discussion. The planning process was the same across all the sessions, although the selection of venue, time of day, and stakeholder participants differed to accommodate the differences among regions. The listening-session format required a great deal of work and flexibility on the part of the coordinating team and regional coordinators. Overall, the participant evaluations from the sessions were positive, with participants expressing appreciation that they were asked for their thoughts on the subject of herbicide resistance. This paper details the methods and processes used to conduct these regional listening sessions and provides an assessment of the strengths and limitations of those processes.

This research aimed at determining the validity of interactive multimedia on the nerve system material that had been developed and finding out the students’ response to the interactive multimedia. This was a developmental research (Research and Development) followed by a small group test on the eleventh-grade students of SMAN Ambulu totaling 9 students. The students were selected based on their ability level; 3 students with high ability level, 3 students with moderate ability level and 3 students with low ability level. The data collection techniques used were experts' validation sheets and questionnaires. The design of the interactive multimedia in this research was 4D (define, design, develop and disseminate) model developed by Thiagarajan (1974). The developmental procedure of 4D consists of 4 stages: (1) define, (2) design, (3) develop and (4) disseminate. The results showed that the validity of the developed interactive multimedia reached 82.9% according to the content expert, 86.3% based on the learning expert, 88,3% based on the learning media expert, and 82.7% based on the teacher’s (user) perspective. The results of small group test revealed that the legibility and the level of difficulty were 81.99% or in the good category,  and student response score was 83.55%, it means that student had positive response toward the use of developed media in their learning.   Keywords: interactive multimedia, 4D, expert validity.

The subject was a 47-year-old male with a moderate asymmetrical sensorineural hearing loss that initially presented cochlear signs except for positive stapedius reflex results. Over the course of only five weeks, he developed the audiological constellation of retrocochlear involvement. The retrocochlear results were confirmed by the removal of an acoustic tumor. The results highlight the importance of audiological monitoring and reflex measures in the identification of acoustic neuromas. Several observations provide insight into the apparent relationship between loudness and the stapedius reflex. The findings are discussed with reference to a proposed extension of Borg’s recent theory that elevated reflex thresholds and reflex decay reflect differing degrees of the eighth nerve destruction.

Louis Harold (Hal) Gray was not a product of his times; that is to say he was no opportunist who cleverly adapted his talents to the current circumstances. Rather he was a maker of scientific history and his genius would have been as apparent in any other age. Particularly would he have been at home in London three centuries earlier. It has been recorded (1) * that the beginnings of the Royal Society stemmed from the urge in ´a small group of learned men who were interested in the Experimental, or New Philosophy as it was then called . . . to meet occasionally in London for talk and discussions at the lodgings of one of their number’. The urge to meet with his fellow men for their mutual benefit by discussion of matters of science was characteristic also of Hal Gray. The New Philosophy which some would now equate with the scientific method owed much in England to Francis Bacon (one time of Trinity College, Cambridge) and would have delighted a seventeenth-century Gray. It was the natural revolution of the Renaissance period against medieval dogma and the confinement of formalistic scholasticism. Further the New Philosophy was not subject-limited, and its exponents considered and discussed Physick, Anatomy, Geometry, Astronomy, Navigation, Statistics, Magnetics, Chymicks and Natural Experiments (2).

The subject of this observation was a young woman who was admitted to the Richmond Asylum, Dublin, on September 16th, 1898. Hereditary history not very full nor trustworthy. Father died many years ago of phthisis. Mother, who is a person of somewhat eccentric manners, stated that X— (our patient) had always been wayward, not bright and not easy to manage. On the other hand, X—, when she recovered, said that her mother was flighty and neglected her, preferring the other children. Brothers and sisters healthy. Patient did not “get on” at home. A few weeks before admission, she was sent out as a nursery governess. Does not seem to have been kindly treated in her situation: had a troublesome menstruation; became sleepless, excited, and incoherent. Actual oncome of insanity is dated a fortnight before admission.

Even if the fatality rate has been twice higher for men than for women, the Covid-19 pandemic has affected women more than men, both as frontline workers and at home. The aim of our article was to analyze the differences observed in mental health and violence between men and women in the COVID outbreak. For this purpose, we have used all papers available in PubMed between January and July 2020 as well as data from non-governmental associations. We have thus successively analyzed the situation of pregnancy during the pandemic; the specific psychological and psychiatric risks faced by women both as patients and as workers in the health sector, the increased risk of violence against women at home and at workplace and, finally the risk run by children within their families. In conclusion, research on the subject of mental health issues during the Covid-19 pandemic is still scarce, especially in women. We hope that this pandemic will help to recognize the major role of women at home and at the workplace.

This chapter is a response to the previous chapter's assumption that the development of Jews at home as an emotional concept is new by mining rabbinical sources to find precedent in Jewish tradition. Though it does not dismiss the arguments already made, the chapter asserts that the previous might be built upon too short-term a view of Jewish history. For most of the examples called upon to illustrate or bolster the previous chapter's arguments, here there are analogous historical examples that work to strengthen Judaism and the community of adherents. In fact, the lesson of Jewish history, and particularly of the rabbinic age, is that Jews should not inhibit themselves because of the fear of ultimate failure, because stasis itself could lead to stagnation and even death. It is today recognized by most historians of the period that the rabbis were originally a very small group. This means that, early on, their practices took centuries to become ‘traditional’. The chapter contends that it is arguably the rabbis' combining of the inherited with the boldly innovative that enabled Jews living in an age of challenge and frequent discomfort to survive as Jews into the coming era.

I am deeply conscious of the fact, as I consider the subject of torture, that I have led a very sheltered life. I have never been tortured. I have never seen anybody being tortured. Nor have I ever met anyone who has undergone this dreadful practice. But I cannot say that I have never met anyone who has had anything to do with it. The Cyprus emergency was at its height during my period of national service. My attempt to persuade the military authorities that my knowledge of classical Greek was a suitable qualification for me to be sent to the island to act as an interpreter was unsuccessful. I was sent instead to serve with an infantry battalion in the British Army of the Rhine in West Germany. I did not think so at the time as we endured one of the coldest winters in living memory in Nordrhein-Westphalia, but I was to discover later that this may well have been the better option. When I went up to university I met someone who had indeed been sent to Cyprus. He had acted as an interpreter when Greek Cypriot members of the Eoka organization were being interrogated. Conscious of the constraints of the Official Secrets Act, he never revealed to me the details of what was done to them during this process. But I had the distinct impression, as we talked, that he had been revolted by it and that things were done which were and would always remain a scar on his memory.
