Sheridan (Figs. 4 A–B). Measurements are summarized in Table 4. Distribution and natural history. This is the second report of the species in Laos, but from the same (and only) known locality in Laos. The types were collected day and night in semi-evergreen mixed with pine forest, on a stream bottom or the forest floor (Stuart et al. 2010). The larvae were found at night on the bottom of a 3 m wide stream with slow current, sand and bedrock substrate, and leaf litter-filled potholes (Stuart et al. 2010). The newly reported NUOL topotype was taken at 1115 h after heavy rain under leaf litter and pine needles at the base of a 0.3 m diameter-at-breast-height (DBH) pine tree, 4 m from a stream pool, in semi-evergreen mixed with pine forest. Elsewhere, the species has been reported from adjacent Pu Hoat, Nghe An Province, Vietnam (Yuan et al. 2011; Nishikawa et al. 2013 b; this study; Fig. 2).Published as part of Phimmachak, Somphouthone, Aowphol, Anchalee & Stuart, Bryan L., 2015, Morphological and molecular variation in Tylototriton (Caudata: Salamandridae) in Laos, with description of a new species, pp. 285-310 in Zootaxa 4006 (2) on pages 296-297, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4006.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/23718
George MacLeod’s open-air preaching: performance and counter-performance
No full textStuart Blythe uses the methodology of performance to analyse George MacLeod’s open-air preaching. He points out that MacLeod’s preaching was derived from a theology of the incarnation, and an understanding of the paradoxes and dichotomies of common human life. This preaching, Blythe suggests, was also a counter-performance in the context of outlooks and ideologies inimical to the gospel. The paper raises interesting issues related to preaching as performance, and the further question as to whether or not the life and work of the Church as a whole might now be better understood as a counter-performance.Publisher PD
John Stuart Mill and the Employment of Married Women: Reconciling Utility and Justice
No full textThis paper explores the link between utilitarianism and feminism through the positions of John Stuart Mill. We try to reconcile Mill's conviction about the necessity of establishing equality between sexes with his position concerning the employment of married women. This reconciliation has already been attempted by other researchers. Our perspective is slightly different in that we seek to establish a globally coherent position by examining Mill's various writings in order to evaluate his feminism in terms of his utilitarian philosophy.John Stuart Mill ; Utilitarisme ; Feminisme ;

Redemption in the work of Francis Stuart
No full textThe idea of redemption is central to an understanding of the work
of Francis Stuart. Through an examination of its development and
expression, it is possible to demonstrate the integrity of his work and
its distinctive qualities. Such a demonstration is necessary because
Stuart's writing has been subjected to comparatively little scholarly
inquiry, although reviews of his work, especially that produced since
1949, suggest that it is impressive and important.
First, a general background to Stuart's work, a discussion of the
special problems associated with reading it, and a summary of his corpus
is provided. This indicates that the idea of redemption is important to
his earliest writing. The state of redemption is shown to be a
necessary apotheosis for Stuart's outcast heroes; it involves spiritual
suffering through which may be found a sense of reintegration and a
higher reality. This is expressed through interrelated themes such as
those of gambler, artist and ordinary man; mystic and criminal; sacred
and profane love; and spirituality and the mundane. The nature of the
redemptive experience is further elaborated by distinctive, complex
motifs, especially the hare, the ark and the woman-Christ. Their
recurrence provides an important element in the unity of Stuart's work.
Because Stuart's idea of the outcast raises important biographical
questions, an examination of the relationship between Stuart's life and
his work is made. Finally, the way in which the idea of redemption
exists in the language structures of Stuart's novels is examined, with
especial reference to his most recent work, The High Consistory. The
thesis shows that the development of the these of redemption
demonstrates the integrity of Stuart's work
John Stuart Mill’s projected science of society: 1827-1848
No full textThe purpose of the thesis is to examine John Stuart Mill’s political thought from
about 1827 to 1848 as an exercise in intellectual history. It focuses, first, on Mill’s view,
formulated by the late 1830s, that contemporary society was ‘civilized’, and second, on
his project of a science of society, which he aspired to develop in the late 1830s and
early 1840s.
By the late 1830s, Mill came to the view that his contemporary society was a
‘commercial society or civilization’, dominated by the middle, commercial class. The
first part of my thesis, constituted by Chapters 2-4, discusses the way in which Mill
formed his notion of civilization, and what he meant by the term ‘civilization’. Mill paid
attention to the implications of the rise of the middle class, and regarded such
phenomena of contemporary society as the corruption of the commercial spirit and
excessive social conformity as an inevitable consequence of the rise of the middle class.
The second part of the thesis, constituted by Chapters 5-9, examines Mill’s
projected science of society. In the late 1830s and early 1840s, Mill attempted to
develop a new science of society whose subject-matter was the nature and prospects of
commercial, civilized society. This aspiration culminated in A System of Logic,
published in 1843. In examining Mill’s projected science, I pay particular attention to
the fact that he conceived new sciences of history and of the formation of character,
both of which were indispensable in his project, although he failed to give a complete
account of these sciences. My thesis shows that the implications of his interest both in
history and in the formation of character are more significant than Mill scholars have
assumed

Leptolalax melicus Rowley, Stuart, Thy & Emmett, 2010, sp. nov.
No full textLeptolalax melicus sp. nov. Holotype: MVZ 258198, an adult male, calling on 2 cm diameter tree root, 0.5 m from 2 m wide, swift, rocky stream in Virachey National Park, Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia (14.19287 º N, 106.99612 º E, 650 m, Figures 1–2). Collected by Jodi J. L. Rowley, Bryan L. Stuart and Neang Thy at 19: 35 h on 13 October 2007. Paratypes: MVZ 258199, an adult male, same data as holotype except collected at 19: 40 h on 13 October, 2007. MVZ 258197, adult male, same data as holotype except collected at 19: 40 h on 10 October 2007. MVZ 258074, adult male, calling from boulder, collected by Jodi J. L. Rowley on 22 June 2006 from Virachey National Park, Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia (ca. 14.3 º N, 107.37 º E, 600 m, Figure 1). MVZ 258075– 258077, adult males, all calling on rocks, collected by David A. Emmett on 22 June 2006 from Virachey National Park, Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia (ca. 14.2 º N, 107.38 º E, 850 m, Figure 1). All specimens were found II. In lacking webbing and dermal fringes on fingers and having only slight basal webbing and no dermal fringes on toes, L. melicus differs from L. alpinis, L. bourreti, L. fuliginosus, L. heteropus, L. kecil, L. liui, L. pelodytoides, and L. sungi, all of which have lateral fringes or more extensive webbing on toes. The small size of male Leptolalax melicus (19.5–22.7 mm) further distinguishes it from all but L. alpinis (24.0– 26.4 mm), L. applebyi (19.6–20.8 mm), L. kecil (19.3–20.5 mm), L. khasiorum (24.5–27.3 mm), L. liui (23.0– 28.7 mm), and L. pluvialis (21.3–22.3 mm). All other congeners have distinctly larger male body sizes (L. arayai 29.6 mm; L. bourreti 36.2 mm; L. dringi 28.7–30.3 mm; L. fuliginosus 28.2 –30.0 mm; L. gracilis 30–36 mm; L. hamidi 28.7–31.3 mm; L. heteropus 33 mm; L. kajangensis 34–35 mm; L. lateralis 26.9–28.3 mm; L. maurus 26.1 mm; L. melanoleucus 26.6–28.8 mm; L. nahangensis 40.8 mm; L. oshanensis 26.6–30.7 mm; L. pelodytoides 37 mm; L. pictus 31–34 mm; L. solus 27.6 mm; L. sungi 48.3–52.7 mm; L. tamdil 32.3 mm; L. tuberosus 24.4–29.5 mm; L. ventripunctatus 25.5 –28.0 mm). Leptolalax melicus is also differentiated from L. alpinis, L. fuliginosus, L. khasiorum, L. liui, L. oshanensis, L. pelodytoides, L. pluvialis and L. tamdil by the absence of ventrolateral glandular lines and from L. arayai, L. khasiorum, L. lateralis, L. maurus, L. solus, L. tamdil, L. tuberosus and L. ventripunctatus in having mostly smooth (versus tuberculate) skin texture with no skin ridges. Leptolalax melicus can be further distinguished from the most morphologically similar species, L. applebyi, in having a more distinct dorsal patterning, significantly larger pectoral glands (L. melicus mean diameter 0.9 mm ± 0.07 S. E., L. applebyi mean diameter 0.4 mm ± 0.03 S. E.; Mann-Whitney U -test, Z= - 2.847, p = 0.004; N= 12), and significantly larger femoral glands (L. melicus mean diameter 0.9 mm ± 0.08 S. E., L. applebyi mean diameter 0.5 mm ± 0.05 S. E.; Mann-Whitney U -test, Z= - 2.847, p = 0.004; N= 12). The advertisement call of L. melicus differs structurally from all fourteen Leptolalax species with described calls; L. alpinis, L. applebyi, L. arayai, L. dringi, L. fuliginous, L. gracilis, L. hamidi, L. heteropus, L. kecil, L. melanoleucus, L. pelodytoides, L. pictus, L. oshanensis and L. solus, and also from L. tuberosus. Leptolalax melicus is the only species of Leptolalax with a call containing a single long introductory note containing 8–50 pulses, followed by a series of predominantly single-pulse notes or clicks. All other described calls of Leptolalax species contain notes that are similar in structure and duration. The only species with noticeably different first notes in the advertisement call are L. hamidi and L. heteropus, which have introductory notes of a slightly longer duration but similar amplitude to successive notes, and L. arayai, which has introductory notes of a slightly shorter duration but similar amplitude to successive notes.Published as part of Rowley, Jodi J. L., Stuart, Bryan L., Thy, Neang & Emmett, David A., 2010, A new species of Leptolalax (Anura: Megophryidae) from northeastern Cambodia, pp. 57-68 in Zootaxa 2567 on pages 59-66, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19731
