Matthew Henry: The Bible, Prayer, and Piety – A Tercentenary Celebration
No full textThe summer of 2014 marked the tercentenary of the death of Matthew Henry (1662–1714), a leading figure among early eighteenth-century Dissenters and author of the six-volume Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1707–1714/25). This monumental work, which by 1855 had already been published in twenty-five different editions, attempted a peculiarly practical approach to the biblical text and continues to be widely used and readily accessible even today in both print and online versions. The theme of foreign (or ‘strange’) wives and Israelite intermarriage is one which occurs throughout the Hebrew Bible and, accordingly, throughout Matthew Henry’s commentary upon it. Where it appears, the practice of intermarriage is characterized by Henry as (at best) unwise and (at worst) a very real threat to both social and religious cohesion. This essay explores how Henry deals with the issue of ‘strange wives’, why he believes they continue to pose a threat, and (in view of the overall intention of his commentary) what ‘practical observations’ he offers to his reader as a result. In doing so it is argued that Henry’s commentary traces a thematic thread from the ante-diluvian age to the post-exilic period of calamities resulting from mixed marriages between ‘professors of religion’ and their ‘strange wives’
Citation expectations: are they realized? Study of the Matthew index for Russian papers published abroad
No full textWe consider the "Matthew effect" in the citation process which leads to reallocation (or misallocation) of the citations received by scientific papers within the same journals. The case when such reallocation correlates with a country where an author works is investigated. Russian papers in chemistry and physics published abroad were examined. We found that in both disciplines in about 60% of journals Russian papers are cited less than average ones. However, if we consider each discipline as a whole, citedness of a Russian paper in physics will be on the average level, while chemistry publications receive about 16% citations less than one may expect from the citedness of the journals where they appear. Moreover, Russian chemistry papers mostly become undercited in the leading journals of the field. Characteristics of a "Matthew index" indicator and its significance for scientometric studies are also discussed
Pseudohaplogonaria caribbea Hooge and Tyler 2007
No full textPseudohaplogonaria caribbea Hooge and Tyler, 2007 Material. Living specimens in squeeze preparations; one set of 2 -µm-thick serial sagittal sections of epoxyembedded specimen stained with toluidine blue. Localities. Pond Sock Reef (917 ’ 17.9 ” N, 82 ° 19 ’ 39.9 ” W), from fine-grained sand at 2 m water depth collected from sediment surrounding a sunken boat; Crawl Cay (914 ’ 37.8 ” N, 82 °08’25.0” W), from finegrained sand from 1 m water depth; Islas Zapatillas (915 ’ 56.4 ” N, 82 °02’75.0” W), from subtidal fine-grained sand; Isla Colon, Mangrove Inn (919.870 ’ N, 82 ° 15.286 ’ W), from fine-grained sand at 3–4 m water depth. Description. Mature specimens ~ 500 µm long. Anterior and posterior ends rounded. Numerous red rhabdoids present in epidermis. Female gonopore and vagina absent. Seminal bursa and bursal nozzle present. Male gonopore ventral at posterior end of body; surrounded by large gland cells. Seminal vesicle positioned slightly anterior to gonopore gland cells. Remarks. This species was easily noticed in our meiofauna extractions due to its prominent red rhaboid glands. However, in some samples, P. caribbea co-occured with an unidentified acoel that also bears large red rhabdoid glands (Figs. 13 A–C). We did not collect adequate material to identify or describe this second species; however, it can be readily distinguished from P. caribbea by to its possession of additional uncolored rhaboid glands that are visible in squeeze preparations (Fig. 13 C).Published as part of Hooge, Matthew D. & Tyler, Seth, 2008, Acoela (Acoelomorpha) from Bocas del Toro, Panama, pp. 1-40 in Zootaxa 1719 on page 16, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18106
Parahaploposthia longituba Hooge & Tyler 2007, sp. nov.
No full textParahaploposthia longituba sp. nov. (Figs. 2–4) Type material. Holotype. USNM 1096760, one set of 2-µm-thick serial sagittal sections of epoxy-embedded specimen stained with toluidine blue. Paratype. USNM 1096761, epoxy-embedded whole mount. Type locality. South of Carrie Bow Cay at 3– 8 m depth from sand collected at a sand bore (1645'53" N, 88°07'09" W), and south of Carrie Bow Cay (16°48'09" N, 88°04'55" W), from medium-grained in a sand trough at 5 m water depth. Other material examined. Living specimens in squeeze preparations; three sets of 2-µm-thick serial sections of epoxy-embedded specimens; whole mount for fluorescence imaging of musculature. Etymology. Species name refers to the long tube-like nature of the male antrum. Description. Unsqueezed, mature specimens ~ 400 µm long and ~ 100 µm wide (Figs. 2A, 3A, 4A). Body cylindrical. Anterior and posterior ends rounded. Body color yellow by transmitted light. Epidermis completely ciliated. Without rhabdoid glands. Frontal organ well developed (Fig. 3C). Mouth opening on ventral surface, anterior half of body (Fig. 3A, 4A). Body-wall musculature with circular muscles that encircle the body along entire length of animal; straight longitudinal muscles present between frontal pore and anterior edge of mouth; longitudinal-cross-over muscles (fibers with a longitudinal orientation anteriorly, but bend medially to cross diagonally) present in both dorsal and ventral body wall; longitudinal muscles in anterior half of body that wrap around posterior rim of mouth (U-shaped muscles) present in ventral body wall; without anterior ventral diagonal muscles (Fig. 4A). Ovary unpaired, ventral. Testes paired, lateral to ovary, compact. Female gonopore and vagina absent. Seminal bursa, with sponge-like tissue wall, positioned in caudal portion of body, ventral to seminal vesicle (Figs. 2B, 3A, B). Male gonopore terminal at posterior end of body opens to long (~ 140 µm), ciliated male antrum (Figs. 2A, B, 3A, B, D). Male antrum wall composed of outer longitudinal and inner circular muscle fibers (Fig. 4B). Epithelium of antrum penetrated by necks of gland cells that empty into lumen of antrum (Fig. 3D). Proximal end of male antrum capped with small, sperm-filled, seminal vesicle with thin tissue wall lacking musculature (Fig. 3B). Remarks. As is the case with Parahaploposthia longituba, the five previously described species of Parahaploposthia have an unpaired ovary, paired testes, and a ciliated male antrum (see Tyler et al. 2006). Parahaploposthia longituba stands distinct from all the others in having well-developed frontal glands and an exceptionally long male antrum. The antrum of P. thiophilus Fegley, Smith, & Rieger, 1984, is similarly elongated but only about half the length of that of P. longituba (~ 80 µm vs 140 µm). Like P. velvetum Hooge & Tyler, 2001, and P. thiophilus, P. longitubus has a seminal bursa, but it lacks the vagina that connects the bursa to the posterior end of the body in those two species (Fegley et al. 1984, Hooge & Tyler 2001). P. longituba is further distinguished from P. thiophilus in having pale coloration (brown in P. thiophilus), a more anteriorly positioned mouth (mid-body in P. thiophilus) and frontal glands extending posterior to the statocyst.Published as part of Hooge, Matthew D. & Tyler, Seth, 2007, Acoela (Acoelomorpha) from Belize, pp. 21-33 in Zootaxa 1479 (1) on pages 23-26, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1479.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/508652

What Can Heritage Professionals Learn from Open World Games?
No full textWhat can real-world cultural heritage sites learn from the video games industry about presenting a coherent story, while giving visitors freedom to explore and allowing them to become participants in the story-making? How do cultural heritage professionals have to change their storytelling practices to properly take advantage of new digital technologies? A review of the literature, including analysing the narrative of three “open world” style video games shows that cultural heritage sites manage to provide analogues of many ludic emotional triggers except one – story.The bulk of the work is auto-ethnographical: how might cultural heritage professionals, like me, translate linear interpretations such as histories, guidebooks, exhibition texts and other sources, into a network of narrative atoms (natoms) that an algorithm, rather than a human, might deliver to visitors? What should they consider along the way? The first prototype was a responsive heritage narrative, this was an on-screen text “adventure” rather than a real-world environment. Taking learning from that experiment to Chawton House Library, an on-line data-base of natoms was built, which included environmental effects such as lighting, sound and music. Visitors participated in an “Untour” simulating a responsive environment, triggered by their movement around the spaces of the house. The output of this research is an analysis of the recordings and observations made during the Untours, which proves that it is possible to author coherent narratives by tagging individual natoms. However consideration should be given to the transitions between natoms, and heritage professionals should be challenged to take more risks with fiction
