A gazetteer and summary of French pottery imported into Scotland c. 1150 to c. 1650 a ceramic contribution to Scotland's economic history Ceramic Resource Disc 3
No full textThe proposal for a series of published inventories, by countries, of all the imported medieval and post medieval pottery recovered from excavations and field walking in Scotland, was advanced on the final day of the Medieval Pottery Research Group’s conference held in Edinburgh in May 2001. Taking on the roll of creating a gazetteer and catalogue of French pottery in Scotland, it was the authors aim to build on the pioneering work of John Hurst and other medieval ceramicists and in the process make a contribution to the ongoing research on identifiable medieval and post-medieval ceramics traded around the North and Irish Sea
Episode 49: The 2024 ZORA! Afrofuturism Conference with Dr. Julian Chambliss and Dr. Scot French. Plus, Reflections on the 2020-2024 ZORA! Afrofuturism Conference Cycle
No full textThe Department of History\u27s Sebastian Garcia spoke with Afrofuturism Academic Conference curators Dr. Julian Chambliss and Dr. Scot French about this year\u27s edition of the ZORA! Festival Afrofuturism Academic Conference which was grounded in the theme of the space of Afrofuturism. This thematic approach was incredibly timely as Dr. Chambliss and Dr. French discussed thoroughly how they used the conference as a public platform to widen attention and draw support for the Robert Hungerford School in Eatonville, Florida, which is currently in a complex legal battle to retain its historical and cultural significance to Eatonville in the face of gentrification and urban renewal. In addition, since this was the final year of the 2020-2024 Afrofuturism Academic Conference Cycle, Dr. Chambliss and Dr. French reflected on the half-a-decade experience of developing, leading, and curating this tremendous scholarly and public event.

John Lacy，Sauny the Scot
No full textSauny the Scot (1667) was written for production by the King's Company to which the author，John Lacy，himself belonged as a shareholder，actor and dramatist. Lacy made the Restoration new comedy as a mixed adaptation from Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew (1594),the anonymous play The Taming of a Shrew (1594)，and John Fletcher's The Woman's Prize，or The Tamer Tamed (1611). By doing so，he was able to give focus to his own part Sauny，Petruahio's Scottish footman. As Katherine West Sheil (1997:72-73) points out，the most important sources for making Sauny an 'outsider' was John Tatham's so-called Scots plays: The Distracted State (1641)，The Scots Figgaries; or A Knot of Knaves(1652)，and The Rump，or The Mirror of the Late Times (1660). Lacy thus enlarged Sauny's role，making use of the conventional images seen in these comtemporary plays: Petruahio's Italian footman Grumio in Shakespeare tums into a Scots one Sauny in Lacy，who often interludes the conversations between the gay couple，Petruchio and Margaret，or other characters，causing laughter mainly with his Scottishness. Whreas both the basic plot development and a great number of words and phrases in Sauny the Scot are from Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew，there are some differences: the induction of Christopher Sly was lost; the locations became England (London); some names were Anglicized such as Lord Beaufoy，Woodall，and Sir Lionel Winlove; all the characters speak in prose; song and dance was increased; and more violent elements can be seen in Sauny the Scot，which offer more opportunities for the repressed characters to lay bare their hearts on stage. It is at this time when they express themselves that the new comic atmosphere in Sauny the Scot is created，for example，in the conversations between Petruahio and his footman, Sauny，Margaret and her younger sister，Bianca, and Petruahio and his wife，Margaret. For the closing，Lacy creates a very impressive scene in Act 5, making good use of the material from Fletcher's The Woman's Prize. Sauny the Scot was performed more than 30 times as recorded，from its first performance in Drury Lane Theatre，Bridges Street，on April 9th, 1667, until the next new adaptation，Catherine and Petruchio，by David Garrick in 1756. From the viewpoint of theatrical history，we can safely say that Lacy played an important role in supplying a Shakespearean adaptation to the Restoration stage，which became part of the repertory until the middle of the 18th century
Inositol phosphate generation in the heart : mechanisms and functional relevance
No full textContains only introductory pages. Deposited with permission of the author. © 2000 Scot J. Matkovich.The studies described in this thesis have used principally the rat neonatal cardiomyocyte (NCM) model to investigate previously unresolved questions regarding inositol phosphate signalling in the heart. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) is known to be an arrhythmogenic molecule in the setting of cardiacischaemia and subsequent reperfusion, but the mechanisms responsible for its enhanced generation in pathological circumstances, as well as those suppressing its generation during phospholipase C (PLC)-coupled receptor stimulation under physiological conditions, have not been characterised. [3H]Inositol-labelling in combination with anion-exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)was used to gain an accurate picture of the changes in various [3H]InsP isomers induced by PLC stimulation

Apparent competition between native and exotic plants mediated by a native insect herbivore : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
No full textInvasive species can significantly impact native food webs through indirect effects. Examples of apparent competition typically involve a non-native consumer disproportionately affecting one host population in the presence of another. My research finds evidence for apparent competition between two herbs, one invasive and one endemic, and mediated by an endemic insect herbivore. The European pasture herb Jacobaea vulgaris (formerly Senecio jacobaea), is an invasive weed in several parts of the world, including New Zealand. New Zealand is also home to 19 native species of Senecio – thirteen of which are endemic – that support an endemic insect fauna. Some of these insects have since expanded their host range to include the invasive J. vulgaris. I examined the relationships between one of those herbivores, the New Zealand magpie moth (Nyctemera annulata, Lepidoptera: Arctiidae), J. vulgaris and one endemic (S. wairauensis) and two native host plants (S. minimus and S. quadridentatus). In my laboratory assays, magpie moth larvae found J. vulgaris as attractive as native host plants and larvae fed only J. vulgaris developed at comparable rates to those fed only native hosts. My landscape surveys revealed a strong association between J. vulgaris infestations, magpie moth abundance and increased levels of herbivore damage of the endemic S. wairauensis. Likewise, S. wairauensis was more likely to be present in transects where J. vulgaris was rare. There is convincing anecdotal evidence that the native magpie moth became far more abundant because of an invasive weed and my study suggests that this detrimentally affects native plants through population spillback
“Cruel sacrifices of popish preests”. Teología y cuestión eucarística en The Discoverie of Witchcraft de Reginald Scot
No full textThe next pages will attempt to shed light on the theology developed by Reginald Scot in his The Discoverie of Witchcraft from one of the key topics of the 16th century: the Eucharistic affair. One of the goals is to demonstrate that the way the Englishman understands the divinity is not only the cause of his dismantling of radical demonology, but also of a similar approach to the catholic dogma of transubstantiation. It is suggested here that Scot rejected the intellectual basis of the witch-hunts for the very same reason he negates the transformation of bread and wine into Christ’s body and blood. As a result of the historical context of his intellectual production, the author uses his theology as an anti-catholic proselitism tool, relating papism with every religious error. Furthermore, it became possible to find out if Reginald Scot propounds a positive Eucharistic stance, and –if he does– how it relates with that of the English church and the continental Reform mainstreamLas siguientes páginas intentarán echar luz sobre la teología desarrollada por Reginald Scot a partir de una de las temáticas más propias del siglo XVI: la cuestión eucarística. Uno de los objetivos es demostrar que la idea que el inglés tiene de la divinidad no sólo es la causa de su desmantelamiento de la demonología positiva, sino también de la aproximación en igual sentido al dogma católico de la transubstanciación. Lo que se plantea aquí es que Scot rechazaba las bases intelectuales de la persecución de brujas por el mismo motivo por el que negaba la transformación del pan y el vino en el cuerpo y sangre de Cristo. Producto del contexto histórico de su elaboración intelectual, el autor utiliza su teología como una herramienta de proselitismo anticatólico, relacionando al papismo con todas las creencias equivocadas en materia religiosa. A su vez, se abre la posibilidad de rastrear si el inglés propone una postura eucarística positiva, y –en caso de hacerlo- cómo se vincula con la posición oficial de la Iglesia de Inglaterra y la de las corrientes predominantes de la Reforma continenta
