Six evidential sources are examined to investigate how Edwards and Steptoe applied ethical standards to their research leading to the birth of Louise Brown: (i) Their own contemporary writings from 1970 onwards. (ii) Archival evidence from the British Medical Association (BMA), the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS), and correspondence between Edwards and the Ford Foundation. (iii) Minutes of Oldham General Hospital (OGH) Ethics Committee. (iv) Letters by Edwards to prospective patients. (v) oral evidence from interviews with a patient and colleagues. (vi) Evidence from their clinical case management of patients. Taken together these sources suggest that Edwards and Steptoe demonstrated a strong awareness of the ethical issues involved, and offer evidence of honesty to patients about the realistic prospects of success and ethical practice. Nonetheless, decisive evidence that ethical aspirations were put into practice is not available.

In one of the most thorough studies ever prepared of a California language, Hill’s grammar reviews the phonology, morphology, syntax and discourse features of Cupeño, a Uto-Aztecan (takic) language of California. Cupeño exhibits many unusual typological features, including split ergativity, that require linguists to revise our understanding of the development of the Uto-Aztecan family of languages in historical and areal perspective.

Розглянуто особливості концертно-фортепіанного стилю А. Караманова — видатного українського композитора, творчість котрого лише останнім часом стає предметом музикознавчого дискурсу. Окреслюється «крива» мовностильової еволюції, етапи якої позначені трьома масштабними концертами композитора, останній з яких, з підзаголовком «Ave Maria», уже здобув світову популярність і увійшов до репертуару видатних виконавців як в Україні, так і за її межами. На основі повного аналізу жанрово-стилістичного комплексу феномену «фортепіанний концерт» запропоновано дефініцію поняття «концертно-фортепіанний стиль», що екстраполюється на авторський стиль А. Караманова в цьому жанрі. Означено та узагальнено характерні ознаки трьох фортепіанних концертів композитора — своєрідного циклу-триптиха, у якому через діяльність А. Караманова як композитора-піаніста втілено константні та індивідуально-новаторські ознаки жанру, що набув значення симфонізованої концептуальної моделі не лише у його творчості, а й у діяльності багатьох композиторів України та зарубіжжя кінця ХХ–ХХI ст.

The French academic painter Henri Regnault’s life and legacy straddles two eras. He practiced his art during the liberal regime of the Second Empire, but died during the Franco-Prussian war, to have his history written during the Third Republic’s “moral order”. In the present “law and order” climate of the Trump Administration, this review questions the effectiveness and relevance of the strategies Marc Gotlieb uses to write his account of Regnault’s life. r

Frontiers are dynamic regions of integration and exclusion where identity and culture are negotiated. The relationships between the heartlands of the North American Southwest and many of its resulting frontiers have been explored; however, very little work has been done to characterize this dynamic in the far “northern periphery,” the Fremont region. Despite over a hundred years of research and a material culture with distinct Southwest origins, it is still not clear how interaction between Fremont and the greater Southwest influenced and shaped identity and culture on this northern frontier. Extreme changes occurred in the Fremont region around A.D. 1000 when painted ceramics, along a suite of Southwestern-looking material and behavioral traits accompanied a significant population increase in the Fremont region. This dissertation uses a multi-scalar approach to explore this why these changes occurred at this critical juncture and how they impacted Fremont social identity. This project explores the production, distribution, and use of Fremont painted pottery at three scales to better articulate Fremont within their broader regional context and create a more robust understanding of what ‘Fremont’ means. The results of this multi-scalar analysis suggest that Fremont painted designs are closely related to the design horizons produced in the Northern San Juan and Cibola/Chaco regions during the A.D. 900s and early 1000s, possibly arriving in the region via migration. These designs were adapted to create a distinctive Fremont design style that remained relatively static for nearly 300 years. Painted pottery was primarily produced in two areas but was widely distributed across the Fremont region. Peoples across the region used painted pottery in similar contexts, most commonly associated with integrative communal structures. When these results are situated within the social, demographic, and historical context of the northern Southwest, they suggest that during the Late Fremont Period, the Fremont region became a dynamic frontier of the northern Southwest where people maintained a shared social identity. The designs painted on Fremont pottery signal both a heritage in and separation from the greater Southwest.

Two trial trenches were excavated, both measuring 12m by 1.5m. Trench 1 was located at the north side of the yard, and trench 2 at the south, both aligned east/west No significant archaeological remains were found

Supplementary material for The 2013 excavations of the Romano-British settlement at Bridge Farm, Wellingham: an interim summary.This paper summarises the work undertaken in 2013 at the site of the 1st- to 4th- century AD Romano-British settlement at Bridge Farm, Wellingham by the Culver Archaeological Project. It locates the four open-area trenches dug, and details some of the more significant features and artefacts found during this National Lottery- funded, community project. It is not intended as a full site report of all the fieldwork. While some initial interpretation of the most significant features has been included, this does not constitute a final considered appraisal of a project which still requires many years of research to allow deeper understanding. Future results and analysis from other areas of the site will necessitate a series of subsequent papers and eventually a substantial monograph. However, this paper will acquaint readers with the importance of this site at an early stage and lead researchers towards sources of more detailed information.
