While there were clear strategic aims in the way that marriages were made in the Howard dynasty during this period, the family was only unusual in that it operated at the very top of the aristocratic hierarchy and was therefore able to use marital alliances to successfully recover and bolster both status and finances. Where they were different, however, was in the experience of some of these women within marriage. By and large, the marriages made by and for members of the family, including women, seem to have been as successful as others of their class. However, three women close to the core of the dynasty experienced severe marital problems, even ‘failed’ marriages, almost simultaneously during the 1520s and 1530s. The records generated by these episodes tell us about the way in which the family operated as a whole, and the agency of women in this context, and this chapter therefore reconstructs these disputes for this purpose.

A large, stoneware jug in the collection of the Bennington Museum bears poignant witness to the temperance movement and contradictions inherent in Americans' attitudes towards the consumption of alcohol during the mid-nineteenth century. Made in 1859 by the Norton Stoneware Factory in Bennington, Vermont, the jug is an impressive 12 gallons in size and bears a prominent cobalt decoration depicting a compote of fruit resting on a base composed of two intertwined snakes. Above this decoration, on the jug's shoulder is a clay roundel inscribed: LUMAN P. NORTON/ 12 gals/1859/ IN VINO VERITAS. In addition to the date of manufacture and capacity, this mark notes who the jug was made for, a member of the family who owned the stoneware factory, and an interesting Latin phrase that can be translated, ““in wine [there is] truth.”” The combination of this phrase, the motif of the intertwined snakes, and Luman Preston Norton's role on Vermont's temperance movement are examined to provide a window into the conflicted attitudes about alcoholic consumption that existed in mid-nineteenth-century America and the way many tried to find a balance.

The aim of describing the house from Sucutard village, exhibited in the The National Ethnographic Park “Romulus Vuia” in Cluj-Napoca, is to better understand the way of living for a peasant family in a Transylvanian village, in the second half of the XIXth century and the first half of the XXth century. In this respect, I interviewed the family descendants, who lived in this house themselves during their childhood and early teenage years. Their personal experience made this research closer to the reality and gave a sense of authenticity. The interviews took place both in the village, on the very ground where the house was originally built and also in the actual place, where it has been moved in 1966. The house is described in close relation with the people that lived in it – moments in which important events with historical figures took place in its yard, the close connection with all the other peasants in the village, their occupations, their day-to-day life inside and outside the house, traditions. Each part of the house and also the surroundings have some story connected to the the way it was used or built. This travel back in time is important in order to see some of the values that were at the core of the peasants’ life in the northern Transylvanian villages and that remained the same, although there were huge changes in the status of the region. In the related period of time, from 1878 up to 1966, the region was part of Hungary during the Austro-Hungarian Dualism up to 1918, part of Romania up to 1940, part of Hungary up to 1944 and again part of Romania afterwords. Of course all this course of events affected the village but in their house and in their yard, the peasants continued to live, in essence, as they always did.

BackgroundIt has been hypothesised that change in the family environment affects short-term recovery from schizophrenia.MethodObservation and study of 210 schizophrenic patients who were influenced by family environmental alteration show that the prognosis of schizophrenia caused suddenly by family environmental alteration is better than that of schizophrenia caused by a persistently unfavourable family environment.ResultsHence, we think sudden family environmental alterations do not cause psychorrhoea, but slow family environmental alteration may cause change in the mental state of patients. The prognosis is worse in the countryside than in the city. From the study group, we conclude that the first cure rate was 28%, and that 26% of patients were able to work. This indicates that there were no typical cases of the core pattern of schizophrenia, and that there was a certain potential for recovery.ConclusionIn the future, the emphasis of prevention and treatment must be placed on the countryside, and attention should be paid to the improvement of living and working conditions there, to the correct administration of patients, and to the improvement of recovery measures and therapy. We advocate that efforts should be made in the countryside to raise the national educational and cultural level.

Jack The Ripper

This study, as careful and complete as was possible under the circumstances, was made in the Paris Laboratory of Anthropology, and deals with Vacher, whose crimes, resembling those of “Jack the Ripper” in England, attracted much attention, and ultimately led to his execution. By Professor Lacassagne and other experts he was considered sane and responsible. The present highly competent investigation throws doubt on that conclusion, and is well worth attention. Though very incomplete, it furnishes a model which we should do well to follow in our own country; the prime requirement seems to be scientific zeal. This study of Vacher was only rendered possible by very great persistence and much co-operation. Although there appears to be no official prohibition in the way of such inquiries (in this case the family of the criminal desired the investigation), neither is there any official encouragement; Vacher's remains were scattered in all directions; only portions could be obtained. The left side of the brain alone was obtained for study; as, however, the head was also obtained, there was a fair amount of material. The study is well illustrated.

Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the type species os the genus orbivirus in the family Reoviridae. The virus has a fibrillar outer coat containing two major structural proteins VP2 and VP5 which surround an icosahedral core. The core contains two major proteins VP3 and VP7 and three minor proteins VP1, VP4 and VP6. Recent evidence has indicated that the core comprises a neucleoprotein center which is surrounded by two protein layers; VP7, a major constituent of capsomeres comprises the outer and VP3 the inner layer of the core . Antibodies to VP7 are currently used in enzyme-linked immunosorbant assays and immuno-electron microscopical (JEM) tests for the detection of BTV. The tests involve the antibody recognition of VP7 on virus particles. In an attempt to understand how complete viruses can interact with antibodies to VP7 various antibody types and methodologies were utilized to determine the physical accessibility of the core to the external environment.

This paper gives an insight into the design process of a game adaptation of Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart (1980). It outlines the challenges faced in attempting to reconcile the diverging qualities of lyrical poetry and digital games. In so doing, the paper examines the design decisions made in every segment of the game with a particular focus on the tension between the core concerns of the lyrical work being adapted and established tenets of game design.

The relationships between Islam and the West are complex. Even theperceptions of those relations have an important impact on the nature ofthe interactions. If the basic images that are used in discussing “Islam andthe West” are themselves ill-defiied or viewed in inconsistent ways, therelationships themselves are affected in sometimes dangerous ways.Inconsistent and contradictory terms of analysis can lead to misunderstandingand conflict.One of the most frequent conceptual mistakes made in discussingIslam and the West in the modem era is the identification of “the West”with “modemity.” This mistake has a significant impact on the way peeple view the processes of modernization in the Islamic world as well as onthe way people interpret the relationships between Islam and the West inthe contemporary era.The basic generalizations resulting from the following analysis can bestated simply: 1) “modernity“ is not uniquely “western”; 2) “the West” isnot simply “modernity”; and 3) the identifixation of “the West” with“modemity” has important negative consequences for understanding therelationships between Islam and the West. Modernity and the West aretwo different concepts and historic entities. To use the terms interchangeablyis to invite unnecessary confusion and create possible conflict’andinconsistency. This article will address the problem of definition and theapplication of the defined terms to interpreting actual experiences andrelationships.Understanding the difficulties raised by the identification of theWest with modernity involves a broader analysis within the frameworkof world history and global historical perspectives.
