This chapter outlines the contributions bioarchaeology has made to understanding health and well-being in the late medieval period in Britain. Some of the history of the study of medieval bodies is followed by a commentary on the evidence base used to consider health and disease, integrated with contextual data, and the limitations of the data. This is followed by a focus on the largest excavated and well-studied cemetery site globally, to date (St Mary Spital, London). It also discusses the bioarchaeological field, including training and standards, advances in analytical techniques (biomolecular), the need for context in studies, and future developments.

This chapter discusses the separation of judicial power principle in Australia. First, it considers the history of the principle and whether it was intended or assumed by the Constitution's drafters. Next, the chapter examines the evolution of the principle in the High Court's jurisprudence, as well as its underlying rationales. Hereafter, this chapter considers the practical ramifications of the principle, and the methods and techniques adopted by the High Court to respond to some of its ‘inconvenient’ consequences. Finally, the chapter considers two of the core underlying rationales in the context of controversial issues in contemporary jurisprudence. It analyses the separation of judicial power principle and the protection of individual rights, in addition to the separation of judicial power principle and federalism. The chapter concludes by briefly commenting on likely future developments.

A study of the history of public superannuation schemes reveals that, in general, steady progress has been, and is being, made; there is, however, little consistency as between various branches of the public service. There have already been many post-war developments, in which there is some evidence of a common pattern, yet in which there are many startling divergencies. In view of the ever-increasing scope of the public services, it is surely time to give serious consideration to the question of standardization of such schemes; and the object of this paper is to suggest possible future developments along these lines.

The Process Piping Code—ASME B31.3, (“Chemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping,” 1998 Edition, ASME, New York, NY) has undergone significant changes over the years to better serve the industries that it supports (Koves, W. J., and Frikken, D. R., 1996, “ASME B31.3: Recent Changes and Future Developments,” Pressure Vessel and Piping Conference, ASME PVP-Vol. 338). The Code has changed in response to changing technology, inquiries to the committee, technical needs, clarification of requirements and editorial considerations. This paper discusses the history of its development and provides and overview of the most significant changes to the Code. [S0094-9930(00)01303-2]

Following the inaugural symposium entitled Thinking Through Tragedy and Comedy - Performance Philosophy and the Future of Genre hosted by the Performance Philosophy Working Group “Genres of Dramatic Thought” which took place at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry ICI Berlin in December 2014, this contribution is a series of attempts to both recapture the debates of the symposium and stake out the field of inquiry for our Working Group’s engagement within Performance Philosophy. By tracing philosophy’s dramatic heritage within the history of genre theory and pointing to its current and future developments, this piece suggests how attention to genre can work to deepen and expand the emerging landscape of Performance Philosophy.
