Death and Drama in Renaissance England
Authors: Engel William E 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Drawing on a range of works from the English Renaissance, Death and Drama in Renaissance England offers a novel way to understand, in their original contexts, key aspects of Renaissance mental life and letters. Focusing on the classical Memory Arts, William Engel explores issues of death and decline in exemplary dramas, dictionaries, and histories of the period, and demonstrates the ways in which emblems and memory images were used to communicate special meanings. Special attention is given, initially, to select tragedies by Shakespeare and other contemporary playwrights who stages spectacles of silent death. This is followed by a survey of the end to which foreign language phrase-books crafted highly mannered vignettes of daily life, and a discussion of the ways in which metaphors of the stage were translated into a body of work which portrayed the soul of history in terms of an overriding Aesthetic of Decline. The result is a thought-provoking account of the essentially mnemonic principles of design informing and animating a range of works from the English Renaissance.
Graham and Leslie Scalapino

Published: October 2023

Abstract
At moments when change outraces our ability to comprehend it, every system of explanation registers the strain. Oppositions that have long structured thought and guided action slip out of alignment, leaving a culture awash in information it cannot process. If for a while the prefix ‘post’ ‘as in post-Newtonian, postindustrial, poststructural, or postmodern’ stems confusion by pointing to paradigms we no longer trust, its consolations are temporary and largely negative. The purpose of this essay is to engage moments in contemporary poetry and science that test emerging formations.

Abstract
The Jesuit Edmund Campion (1540–81) and his companions comprised the Wrst wave of the English Mission, the attempt to support suppressed Catholics and to reclaim the country to Catholicism (see controversies). Months after arriving in Dover on the morning of 25 June 1580, disguised as a jewel merchant, Campion wrote the letter reprinted below.

Thomas Pounde
Authors: Miola Robert S 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Personal servant of Queen Elizabeth, Thomas Pounde (1538–1613) left court in 1551 and became a Catholic and active missionary in England. Accepted as a Jesuit lay brother in 1578, Pounde circulated Campion’s A Letter to the Privy Council in manuscript (see controversies), and wrote a challenge of his own. He spent at least thirty years of his life in various prisons for his faith. About 1582 Pounde sent to Francis Tregian a manuscript poem that contrasts true Catholic martyrs with Protestant pseudomartyrs, ‘A Challenge unto Foxe ‘ (for another rebuttal of Foxe, see Persons, histories).
Toby Matthew

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Toby Matthew (1557–65) converted to Catholicism and experienced subsequent trials and triumphs (see lives and deaths). He wrote a poetic panegyric to the Virgin Mary in Anthony StaVord’s The Female Glory (1635) and twenty-nine sonnets, devotional and personal, which are preserved in a manuscript commonplace book. The sonnet below expresses poignant grief at the common Catholic experience of exile.
Prayers and Hymns
Authors: Miola Robert S 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Most Catholic prayers and hymns appeared in a prayer book known as the Primer, which derived from the Divine OYce (monastic prayers recited at certain hours of the day) but soon incorporated the Little OYce or Hours of the Virgin Mary, including psalms, the Litany of the Saints, the OYce of the Dead. Richard Verstegan’s translation of the Primer in 1599 (excerpted below) achieved forty-two editions in the following century. There meditations on the Passion envision Jesus as both suVering brother and divine redeemer. The Fifteen Oes (from an earlier text) unites scriptural, liturgical, patristic, and iconic traditions to form a deeply aVective and richly doctrinal plea for salvation.

Abstract
measure for measure Searching the paradoxes of law, justice, and mercy, this play (1604) features centrally Isabella, a novice in the Catholic order of Poor Clares, sister order to the Franciscans. Isabella Wnds herself desired by the corrupt magistrate Angelo, who oVers a pardon for her condemned brother Claudio in exchange for sexual intercourse. The audience admires Isabella’s indignant refusal of the indecent proposal but wonders at her moral logic, ‘More than our brother is our chastity ‘ (109). Shakespeare sympathetically presents this Catholic religious out of cloister and in the midst of the wrenching ethical and emotional conXicts of the fallen world.

Elizabeth Southwell
Authors: Miola Robert S 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In 1607 Elizabeth Southwell, a former royal maid who converted to Catholicism, wrote a manuscript account of Queen Elizabeth’s sickness and death. Southwell gives an eyewitness report, rife with sensational incident: the receipt of a magic coin from Wales, supposed to preserve life; the discovery of a playing card nailed to the queen’s chair as part of an evil spell; the appearance and disappearance of Elizabeth’s ghost before her death; the sudden explosion of the dead queen’s body in the coYn. Cecil appears throughout this account as presumptuous, untrustworthy, and menacing. Queen Elizabeth dismisses her Protestant divines as worthless and refuses to name James her successor.
The Publication of Books (Inter sollicitudines), 1515
Authors: Miola Robert S 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Leo, bishop, servant of the servants of God, for an everlasting record, with the approval of the sacred Council. Among the cares weighing upon our shoulders we ponder with constant concern how we may lead back to the path of truth those who err and gain them for God by his grace operating in us. Truly, this is what we earnestly seek, and to this we carefully order the disposition of our mind, and over this we watch with eager diligence. It is surely permissible to obtain a knowledge of the arts and sciences easily through the reading of books. And the art of printing books, chieXy discovered or rather enlarged and perfected in our time by divine favour, has brought many beneWts to mortals, since at small expense a great number of books can be had, in which minds can be exercised very conveniently in the acquisition of knowledge; and men learned in every kind of language, especially those who are Catholics (whom we wish the Church to have in abundance), can easily arise, who can then identify unbelievers, instruct them in holy doctrines, and increase the Xock of the faithful by the wholesome teaching of the Christian faith.
Gender, Labour Market, and Demographic Change: A Case Study of Women&#x92;s Entry into the Formal Manufacturing Sector in Bangladesh
Authors: Afsar Rita 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Bangladesh is one of the few countries which experienced women’s entry into formal manufacturing sector without attaining universal level of primary education, and amidst the prevalent patriarchal values and ideology of sex segregation that govern gender relations in a conservative society. Women have been experiencing some major changes in labour market in terms of nature of jobs and opportunities since last decade. Due to admission of increasing number of female workers to employment predominantly in garment and other small industries, the rate of female participation for all age groups have increased both in rural and urban areas. Moreover the growth rate of female labour force showed a steady increase over that of male labour force since mid-eighties. Among other things, rapid growth of Ready Made Garment (RMG) sector is one of the major contributing factors that causes a shift in women’s predominantly home based to market-oriented economic activities since mid-eighties.
Judicial Deference and Human Rights: A Question of Competence
Authors: Jowell* Jeffrey 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
As our Human Rights Act unfolds, two views are emerging about the extent to which the courts should defer to Parliament and other bodies exercising public powers. The first contends that courts should in principle bow to the decisions of the legislature and those exercising power on its behalf on matters of public interest (sometimes referred to as matters of public policy or expediency).
Real Options: Principles of Valuation and Strategy
Authors: Smit Han T J , Trigeorgis Lenos 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the basic principles of quantifying the value of corporate real options and of capturing important strategic dimensions, which are at the core of strategic planning and investing under uncertainty. In the current, highly volatile, and competitive landscape, the horizon over which cash flows can be estimated confidently is shrinking, making it essential for firms to be flexible in their investment programs.
Charles Dickens and His Performing Selves
Authors: Andrews Malcolm 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Charles Dickens had three professional careers: novelist, journalist and public Reader. That third career has seldom been given the serious attention it deserved. For the last 12 years of his life he toured Britain and America giving 2-hour readings from his work to audiences of over two thousand. These readings were highly dramatic performances in which Dickens's great gift for mimicry enabled him to represent the looks and voices of his characters, to the point where audiences forgot they were watching Charles Dickens. His novels came alive on the platform: at the end of a reading, it seemed to many that a whole society had broken up rather than that a solitary recitalist had concluded. This book tries to recreate, in greater detail than hitherto, the sense of how those readings were performed and how they were received, how Dickens devised his stage set and tailored his books to make them into performance scripts, how he conducted his reading tours all around the country and developed a quite extraordinary rapport with his listeners. No single study of this late career of Dickens has drawn to such an extent on contemporary witnesses to the readings as well as tried to assess in some depth the significance of what Dickens called 'this new expression of the meaning of my books'. 'I shall tear myself to pieces', he said as he waited eagerly to go on stage for his performance, and that is ironically what he did, in ways he perhaps had not quite intended: he fractured into dozens of different characters up there on the platform, and as he thus tore himself to pieces his health collapsed irretrievably under the pressures he put upon himself to achieve these masterly illusions.
Oil and conflict: Lundin Petroleum’s experience in Sudan
Authors: Batruch Christine 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Lundin Petroleum obtained the rights to explore for and produce oil and gas in concession Block 5A, Unity State, Sudan, in February 1997; it sold these rights in June 2003. During the period in which the company was active in Sudan, it operated in the belief that oil could benefit the economic development of the area and the country as a whole, and that this would have a catalysing effect on the peace process. The problems which it encountered in the area, however, led the company to constantly reassess its activities, role and responsibilities there.
Deciding Whom to Help, Health-Adjusted Life Years and Disabilities
Authors: Kamm Frances M 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this chapter, I discuss how to allocate scarce resources related to health. In particular, I am concerned with health care resources. I discuss micro allocation problems, for example, giving a health care resource to one person rather than another, and also macro allocation problems, for example, allocating money to production of one health care service or product rather than another. In Section 11.1, I describe the possible theoretical foundations for assigning weights to some factors and not to others when allocating. Ultimately, I present in outline a decision procedure for allocating. In Section 11.2, I consider several problems that arise in allocating resources using quality- and disability - adjusted life years (QALYs and DALYs) if we take seriously principles of allocation presented in Section 11.1.
The Value of Living Longer
Authors: Broome John 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Longevity is an important aspect of health. Anyone who wants to measure the health of a population will need to take it into account. But there are special difficulties about doing so. This chapter explains why. Measuring health is one thing and valuing health is another. Which should we aim at? I assume we are interested in a person ‘s health as a component of her well-being. Well-being consists of various different sorts of goods, such as health, comfortable living, freedom from oppression, and so on. So we are interested in health as one good thing to be set alongside others. We are therefore interested in how good it is, which means we are interested in its value. This chapter is about valuing health—measuring the value of health—rather than measuring the quantity of health. Specifically, it is about the value of longevity.
Crime-Related Amnesia
Authors: Christianson Sven Å , Merckelbach Harald , Kopelman Michael 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Crime-related amnesia refers to a claim raised by offenders that they cannot remember 7.01 essential details of the crime they have committed. There are two obvious legal reasons why it is important to explore crime-related amnesia. To begin with, amnesia raises the issue of automatism, which refers to criminal behaviour that is executed unconsciously and without intent. Second, amnesia bears relevance to the issue of competence to stand trial.
Informing and Consulting Employees
Authors: Squire Nicholas , Healy Kathleen , Broadbent Joanna 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
A comprehensive and practical analysis of the Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations 2004. The Regulations, which come into force on a rolling basis from spring 2005, represent a fundamental and complex change to employee relations in the UK, requesting companies to set up domestic works councils and inform and consult them about a wide range of business issues. This book provides a detailed explanation of the contents of the regulations, as well as offering expert guidance on their implications for employers in practice. The text explains the operation of the new law on a mechanical level and provides expert guidance on its implications. It addresses the practical concerns and questions of those affected - when do the regulations apply; how is the information and consultation process started; how does an employer negotiate; when should a voluntary procedure be considered; what does 'information and consultation' mean; how is confidential information best treated; how will the new be procedure enforced; how does it interact with existing laws on redundancy and TUPE? The Narrative is supported by flowcharts and sample procedures, together with the full text of relevant materials (the Regulations, the Directive, and DTI guidance).
Introduction
Authors: Hamilton Alastair 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Copts once formed a vast Christian community which stretched up the Nile deep into Nubia, with churches in the Egyptian towns and monasteries in the Nile Delta, along the great river and in the Eastern and Western Deserts. Part of the far broader movement of ‘Mono- physites’, consisting of Armenians and Syrian Jacobites in the north and Ethiopians, in communion with the Egyptians, in the south, the Church of Alexandria broke away from the main Christian Church after the Council of Chalcedon in 451. Even if the Copts became a minority at some time after the Muslim occupation of Egypt in the seventh century, they have always been an integral part of the Egyptian world.
Gamma-ray emission in the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151: Investigating the role of jet and coronal activities
Authors: Inoue Yoshiyuki , Khangulyan Dmitry 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
NGC 4151, a nearby Seyfert galaxy, has recently been reported to emit gamma-rays in the GeV range, posing an intriguing astrophysical mystery. The star formation rate of NGC 4151 is too low to explain the observed GeV flux, but the galaxy is known for its coronal activity in X-ray and jet activity in radio. We propose that either the combination of these two activities or the jet activity alone can account for the gamma-ray spectrum. An energy-dependent variability search will allow one to distinguish between the two scenarios, as the coronal component can only contribute at energies of ≲1 GeV. Our analysis also indicates that it might still be difficult to see coronal neutrinos from the apparently X-ray brightest Seyfert NGC 4151 with current-generation neutrino observatories.
Evaluation of the rate and pattern of suicide attempts and deaths by self-poisoning among Egyptians before and during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Elhawary Amira Elsayed , Lashin Heba Ibrahim , Fnoon Noha Fawzy , Sagah Ghada Attia 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background
Concerns about increased suicidal attempts, especially by self-poisoning as a consequence of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have been raised worldwide.

Aim of the study
This study aimed to evaluate the rate and pattern of suicide attempts and deaths by self-poisoning among patients admitted to Tanta University Poisoning Control Center one year before and following COVID-19 pandemic declaration in Egypt. It was conducted on the medical records of 3,200 poisoned patients, from March 2019 to February 2021. Demographic, toxicological data and patients’ outcomes were collected.

Results
During the pandemic year, 63.8% of total admitted patients alleged suicidal self-poisoning. Adults significantly decreased from 59% to 52.3%, while adolescents significantly increased from 34.6% to 41.7%. Monthly numbers of admitted suicidal self-poisoned patients significantly decreased during the lockdown but significantly increased from 7% to 26.5%, during the peak of the second wave of the pandemic as well as suicidal deaths (increased from 1.9% to 21.2%). Suicidal self-poisoning in females increased late in the pandemic year and suicidal self-poisoning deaths were significantly reported from rural areas (P = 0.025). The delay time was significantly longer, length of hospital stay was significantly shorter, intensive care unit admission rates and suicidal deaths were significantly increased during the pandemic year (P &lt; 0.001, 0.026, &lt;0.001, &lt;0.001, respectively). Phosphides were the most commonly used poison for committing suicide and suicidal deaths during this year.

Conclusion
Psychological support should be directed to females and adolescents, especially from rural areas in Egypt to help reduce suicidal attempts and deaths by self-poisoning during any future pandemics and lockdowns.

Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background
No study has compared EUS-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) plus systemic chemotherapy (CMT) with CMT alone for unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Methods
This study compared the results of treatment in patients receiving EUS-RFA plus concomitant CMT (group A; n = 14) with those receiving CMT (group B; n = 14) as a pilot study.

Results
From July 2017 to August 2018, 4 and 2 patients from groups A and B, respectively, withdrew from the study because of progression of the disease. In total, 10 and 12 patients from groups A and B, respectively, completed the study. All 30 EUS-RFA procedures were successful. Mean maximal tumor diameter before treatment of group A (n = 10) versus B (n = 12) was 62.2 ± 21.0 versus 50.5 ± 22.0 mm, respectively (P = not significant). After treatment, no statistically significant difference in mean maximal tumor diameter was found between both groups. However, in group B, mean maximal tumor diameter was significantly increased from 50.5 ± 22.0 to 56.3 ± 18.7 mm, respectively (P = 0.017). Tumor necrosis occurred in group A versus B at 10 of 10 (100%) versus 6 of 12 (50%) patients, respectively (P = 0.014). After treatment, group A patients could reduce the mean narcotic pain drug dosage at 26.5 mg of morphine equivalent per day (from 63.6 to 37.1 mg, P = 0.022), whereas group B patients could not reduce the dosage of pain-controlled medication. No statistically significant difference in 6-month mortality rate was found. In group A, 1 procedure-related nonsevere adverse event (n = 1 of 30 [3.3%]) occurred in 1 patient (n = 1 of 14 [7.1%]).

Conclusions
In this study, the mean tumor diameter of group B was significantly increased after the treatment. Group A had a significantly higher rate of necrosis of tumor and required less narcotic.
