The Common

Since what I last wrote on the subject of Pythagoras of Rhegion in this Journal, much evidence has accumulated to verify what was then brought forward in a more or less hypothetical form. I was greatly encouraged to carry on this research by the sympathetic criticism of archaeologists both published and privately communicated, but all, with one slight exception, evidently written with the view of facilitating an increase of information, of advancing the common object—the study of classical archaeology. Among the published criticisms, I have received the greatest stimulus to continue my research from the reports of a lecture delivered by Professor C. T. Newton at University College, London, in January of this year; and, among the unpublished, a letter from Professor Michaelis with a full and detailed criticism; while the fact that in the Berlin Museum of Casts the ‘Apollo’ is now entirely severed from the ‘Omphalos,’ and that, in the new catalogue of the Museum of Casts at Munich the words ‘nicht zugehörigen,’ are inserted into the phrase ‘Apollo auf dem Omphalos’ is the most important of confirmations I have received from without: for, it was the possible, and formerly firmly maintained, association of the statue with the omphalos as its base that I felt to be the only positive evidence against my hypothetical assumption.

The two letters which form the subject of this short paper have come into my possession as part of the Amharic documents left by the noted Orientalist Eugen Mittwoch (1876–1942) and generously passed on to me by his widow (since deceased) and his daughters (who now occupy senior academic posts at University College, London, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, respectively).

Different Parts

For the tenth anniversary issue of Journal of Scandinavian Cinema (JSCA), C. Claire Thomson reflects on fifteen years of teaching Nordic cinema at University College London (UCL). The article outlines the teaching and learning contexts in which the subject is taught, and how teaching has been transformed by developments in scholarship in the field and online resources. The constraints and opportunities offered by the pivot to remote teaching during the 2020 pandemic are also considered. Three extracts from essays by students are offered as illustrations of how students from different disciplinary backgrounds and different parts of the world engage with Nordic cinema.

The Subject

With the death of Sir Edward Sharpey-Schafer, on March 29, 1935, in his eighty-fifth year, there passed away a very distinguished physiologist, and one whose name was known to the general public, since his method of giving artificial respiration, in the prone position, became adopted by all who have to do with ambulance work, and teachers of the means of saving life from drowning, electric shock, and asphyxiation. Born in 1850, the son of J. W. Schafer of Highgate and of Hamburg, then a free city, he was educated at Clewer House School, Windsor, and then at University College, London, joining the medical school attached to University College Hospital. There he became marked out as showing exceptional promise by awards of scholarships, at London University, in zoology, and in anatomy and physiology. He gained the medal for Physiology at University College, and in 1871, on the foundation of the Sharpey Scholarship, was elected to the post, which carried teaching duties with it. At the time when Schafer became a medical student, England was far behind France and Germany in Physiological Science. There was no pure physiologist and no physician fully competent to teach the subject. There were no men like Magendie, Bernard, Muller, Helmholtz, Ludwig. But Schafer’s teacher, William Sharpey, although an anatomist by training, was interested in living functions and studied the action of cilia, and microscopic changes in living cells, together with the minute structure of tissues. He filled the Chair of General Anatomy and Physiology, founded in 1836, but there was at his use no laboratory, and he showed no experiments on muscle and nerve, beyond those demonstrated by Galvani fifty years earlier. There was no kymograph, but Sharpey revolved “his dear old hat,” as Michael Foster said, to show the working of one.

The Cost

Subject. The article focuses on the advanced time-driven tools for allocating overhead expenses, which are based on process-based budgeting. Objectives. We articulate a technique for cost allocation so as to assess the cost of each process with reference to the common time driver. Methods. The study relies upon methods of systematization, classification, analogy and comparison, and summarizes the scientific literature on the subject. Results. The article presents our own suggestions on implementing TD-ABC and TD-ABB into the strategic management accounting process of developer companies. The principles were proved to help more effectively allocate overhead expenses and assess the capacity load of each process performed by functions, departments and employees. Carrying out a comparative analysis, we found certain reserves for utilizing resources more effectively. Conclusions and Relevance. The findings are of scientific and practical significance and can be used by developer and construction businesses. The conclusions can prove helpful for scientific papers, student books, and further research.
