Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the history of the using the regalia images of regalia in the titular heraldry of the Moscow Kingdom of the 16th – 17th centuries. Titular heraldry is a complex of coats of arms for the territories of which the names were part of the object title of the Russian sovereigns. The total number of titular coats of arms of the Moscow Kingdom is more than thirty. They were first recorded on the Great Seal of Ivan the Terrible in the late 1570s. On this seal, out of 24 titular coats of arms (emblems, “seals”), four had the images of certain regal objects. In two cases, these were the conditional crowns cresting the armorial figures and testifying to the royal status of the designated administrative territories (the Kazan and Astrakhan kingdoms). In two cases, the images of a “place” were used, which meant a seat for the ruler (or an authorized officer). On the Novgorod seal, that place had the steps, which was, apparently, a more archaic version of such a seat on the Tver seal, the “place” looked like a throne. The pastoral staff in the Novgorod “place” and the princely cap in the Tver “place” testified to the local specifics of the management of these most important titular objects in the general context of the power system of Muscovy. Subsequently, the Astrakhan coat of arms had underwent a radical change, and the appearance of the crown began to resemble a royal crown of the Western European type. The same crown instead of a princely hat appeared on the Tver emblem by the end of the 17th century. In the “Titulyarnik” (title reference book) of 1672, two more coats of arms with the images of regalia appeared. In the Siberian coat of arms, the crown again symbolized the royal status of the titular object. In the Vladimir coat of arms, the crown cresting the lion apparently signified the special status of the Grand Duchy of Vladimir among the lands of northern and north-eastern Rus’. In general, the images of the regal objects in the titular coats of arms followed clear patterns, corresponded to the status of the analogous objects, as well as to their historical significance.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the linguistic embodiment of national symbols. On the basis of lexicography, the author determines the semantic structure of the national idea and describes its implementation in the heraldic symbols of the countries of the former USSR. The semantics of the state contains the following semantic blocks: power, territory, population (people) and the country as a whole. It is established that the main symbols of power amid artifacts are the crown, sword, scepter, orb and trident, and amid the images of fauna – images of a lion, an eagle and a griffin. The territory is symbolized through the image of the administrative and historical division of the country, images of typical representatives of its flora and fauna. Most frequently, on the coats of arms one can see images of the economically most important or most typical representatives of the country’s flora, followed by landscape elements, and only after them the images of the animal world. The symbols associated with the people inhabiting the country of the certain coat of arms include images of specifically national artifacts, objects of material culture. A significant part of the images of the national heraldry symbolizes the concepts and ideals common to the country of the coat of arms as a whole: mythological and folklore images, confessional and astronomical symbols, history and other symbols. National anthems and national heraldry coincide in the history and geography of the country, while the latter is practically lacunary in relation to the emotional and evaluative side of patriotism.

Full textAbstract:
Crows and ravens are deeply symbolic. They have featured in myriads of myths and legends. They have been perceived as ominous, totemic, but also smart and intelligent birds by various peoples around the world. They have heralded bad luck and evoked negative associations. How are they perceived today, in the time of the Internet, mobile devices, and popular culture? Is the young generation familiar with the legends, tales, or beliefs related to these birds? The purpose of this paper was to determine the place of the crow and raven in the consciousness of young generations, referred to as Generation Y and Generation Z. The authors proposed that young people, Generations Y and Z, were not familiar with the symbolism of crows and ravens, attached no weight to them, and failed to appreciate their past cultural roles. The survey involved respondents aged 60 and over as well. Both online surveys and direct, in-depth, structured interviews were employed. It was demonstrated that the crow and raven are ominous birds that herald bad luck and evoke negative associations and feelings in the consciousness of young generations. The perception of crows and ravens by the younger generation stems mostly from popular culture and the appearance and behavior of the birds. The ways in which crows and ravens are represented in popular culture and perceived by the public may directly affect their fate in areas with human presence.

Full textAbstract:
A wreath of territorial, and later also state and dynastic coats of arms, as an element of the composition of Polish royal seals, appeared at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. Initially, it was placed on the seals of majesty, later on the broad (chancellor's) seals of the Crown and Lithuania, and from the times of John Casimir also on the small (sub-chancellor) Crown seals. A set of these coats of arms was created during the reign of King Michael. In general, however, in the field of territorial heraldry, it was characterized by quite high stability, and the land coats of arms introduced to it in the Jagiellonian times functioned without major changes until the reign of Stanisław August. This king used two sets of state seals. The first, created for the coronation in 1764, was a continuation of traditional patterns. The changes concerned only the coat of arms in the second set of seals made in 1780. They concerned two areas: the content and the form of presenting the signs. In the first, the markings of the former fief areas, which were no longer associated with the Crown, were updated: the coat of arms of the Moldavian fief was replaced with the coat of arms of the Kalisz Voivodeship, and the coat of arms of the Pomeranian fief with the coat of arms of Livonia. In the aspect of form, hatching of signs was used for the first time in state sigillography. Although hatching appears already on Wettin's seals, it was not used on Polish state seals. As a result, the seals created in 1780 are the first official color representation of the coats of arms of the lands of the Kingdom of Poland. Breaking with the existing tradition, the creator of the seal, Jan Filip Holzhaeusser, also reversed the arrangement of figural emblems, which until then had been directed towards the central element of the image (i.e., towards the figure of the enthroned ruler, or the Polish Eagle), and also changed the shape of some emblems to forms known from earlier times, later rejected. Enigmatic in this context is the small crown seal of this king, known from one of the collector's imprints, probably made in 1785. Its uniqueness, apart from the lack of confirmation of wider use, prove modifications in the coat of arms, unjustified on the grounds of Polish territorial heraldry.

Full textAbstract:
The paper discusses heraldic, cultural and art-historical aspects of two relief stone plaques from the former castle (Ožegovićianum) in Senj. Both plaques contain pairs of putti supporting leaf wreaths that surround specific heraldic representations. On the left panel it is the crowned coat of arms of the Neapolitan Aragon dynasty, recognizable by the characteristic alternation of fields with horizontal and vertical beams, stylized fleur-de-lis and multiple Jerusalem crosses. The more complex composition on the right plaque represents the Croatian-Hungarian lands under the rule of king Matthias Corvinus (Cluj-Napoca / Koloszvár, 1443. – Vienna, 1490; ruling: 1458-1490): its central place is occupied by a shield with four horizontal beams, surmounted by the royal crown and surrounded by six smaller coats of arms of Hungary (double cross); Dalmatia and Croatia (three crowned leopard heads); Beszterce (Bistriţa) County or the Bohemia (lion); the Hunyadi family (raven); Bulgaria or Slavonia (dog); and Galicia or Bosnia (crown). The arrangement and heraldic content of the coats of arms is identical to that of the so-called Second privy seal of Matthias Corvinus, of which an imprint in red wax is still kept in the City Museum in Senj. Given the above, the first coat of arms can be associated with Corvinus’ second wife, the Neapolitan princess Beatrice of Aragon (Naples, 1457-1508), whom the Hungarian-Croatian ruler married in 1476. This event also provides a firm terminus post quem for the Senj plaques, while their upper time limit is being determined by the Corvinus’ death in 1490. A comparative analysis of the Senj plaques (especially links with contemporary examples found in illuminated manuscripts) reveals their place in the context of the Pannonian Renaissance, testifying to the importance of Senj in the political and artistic topography of the Hungarian-Croatian Kingdom in the late 15th century.

Full textAbstract:
The staging of aristocratic funerals was among the variety of ideological controls and display employed by Henry VIII to reduce the great magnate families of the north and place the country under central authority. An examination of the funeral of Henry Percy (1502/03?–1537) may be especially instructive because of the important and unusual relationship between the Crown and Percy. In fact, the sixth earl's funeral is worth examining in detail because it clearly reflected not only this personal and family relationship but also one step in the transfer of power from the north to the court.It was not at all unusual that the College of Arms should have been a main instrument by which Henry VIII manipulated the ceremony. As marshalls of aristocratic Tudor funerals and prominent participants in them, the heralds of the College customarily used the occasions to convey an abundance of political information whose display was intended to serve the interests of the Crown. This included information about the rank of the deceased, his or her relation to the Crown, and the enduring authority of the elite, all of which could be represented in symbols so conventional that their array and magnificence would communicate clear meaning. Henry VIII's subordination of the College and his support for it — increased prestige and employment for the heralds, for example, and their expansion from registrars to regulators of armorial bearings or insignia — may therefore be seen as attempts to help manage the aristocracy in a time of rapid social change.

Full textAbstract:
Orofacial granulomatosis is a clinical entity of either unknown or specific causation. Specific causes include sarcoidosis, chronic infective granulomas, and Crohn's disease. The remainder of cases are idiopathic, but the clinical presentations of orofacial swellings and intraoral mucosal lesions are similar. So, too, are the histopathologic findings of noncaseating granulomas, edema, and chronic lymphoproliferative infiltrate. Crohn's disease is not responsible for all forms of orofacial granulomatosis, but the orofacial manifestations of the disease may herald its diagnosis.

Full textAbstract:
Bob Morris' comment on the Succession to the Crown Bill invites the Church of England to ‘fresh, bound-breaking’ thinking about Church of England establishment in light of the role of the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and the statutory obligation for the Sovereign to maintain communion with the Church of England. Along with other writers he argues that, in effect, this leaves us with religious freedom in the UK but not religious equality. I hope that Morris' challenge will stimulate such fresh thought – my response is not yet this but concerns another matter that he raises in relation to Roman Catholic marriages. He repeats concern in both Houses of Parliament that children of ‘mixed marriages’ are obliged to be brought up as Roman Catholics, and he correctly questions the extent of such an absolute obligation contra an article in the Catholic Herald.

Abstract: The beatification of Saint Teresa of Ávila in October 1614 gave rise to widespread celebrations in many of the cities and towns of the Iberian Peninsula. Printed relaciones describing these celebrations, despite their limitations ?in terms of political agenda, propaganda, rivalry and literary style— can nevertheless provide information about musical experience and can help to recreate the ephemeral soundscapes of these events. This article will focus on the ceremonies held in the Crown of Aragon, especially Saragossa and Barcelona, taking into consideration the typology of different musics?heraldic, divine and festive?and factors such as the moment in time, function, dynamic, urban spaces and blurring of boundaries, public (listeners), musical resources and performance practice, repertories and genres, signifiers and associations for listeners, and impact. Keywords: urban musicology; Teresa of Jesus; beatification festivities; musical experience; Crown of Aragon Resum: Paraules clau:

Full textAbstract:
The members of the Torroja family were extremely important as advisers on political and military strategy to the counts of Barcelona (monarchs of the Crown of Aragon) Arnaldo was elected Grand Master of the Knights Templar (1181–1184). On 30 September 1184, the Templar Master passed away in the city of Veneto; Arnaldo de Torroja was buried at the church of San Vitale in Verona. The church was destroyed when the river Adige flooded it in the 18th century, and it was closed down in 1760 as a result of the damage caused. Some years ago, behind a wall, a sarcophagus was discovered on which was carved the typical Templar cross (Cross pattée) and, in 2016, it was opened by a team of Italian scientists. The skeletal remains corresponded to the age Arnaldo. Thanks to the book that I recently published “Armorial de los Obispos de Barcelona, siglos XII–XXI”, it has been realized that the sarcophagus of the brother of Arnaldo of Torroja, Guillermo is contained within the Family heraldry “Golden a castle of Gules”, they requested that the aforementioned bishop’s remains be analysed, in order to compare them with those of Arnaldo.

Full textAbstract:
More than a century after the Norman Conquest, England remains a colony of foreign warlords. The dissolute Prince John plots to seize his brother’s crown, his barons terrorize the country, and the mysterious outlaw Robin Hood haunts the ancient greenwood. The secret return of King Richard and the disinherited Saxon knight, Ivanhoe, heralds the start of a splendid and tumultuous romance, featuring the tournament at Ashby-de-la-Zouche, the siege of Torquilstone, and the clash of wills between the wicked Templar Bois-Guilbert and the sublime Jewess Rebecca. In Ivanhoe Scott fashioned an imperial myth of national cultural identity that has shaped the popular imagination ever since its first appearance at the end of 1819. The most famous of Scottish novelists drew on the conventions of Gothic fiction, including its risky sexual and racial themes, to explore the violent origins and limits of English nationality. This edition uses the 1830 Magnum Opus text, corrected against the Interleaved Set, and incorporates readings from Scott’s manuscript. The introduction examines the originality and cultural importance of Ivanhoe, and draws on current work by historians and cultural critics.

Full textAbstract:
This volume combines philosophical analysis with normative legal theory. Although both disciplines have spent the past fifty years investigating the nature of the principles of necessity and proportionality, these discussions were all too often walled off from each other. However, the boundaries of these disciplinary conversations have recently broken down, and this volume continues the cross-disciplinary effort by bringing together philosophers concerned with the real-world military implications of their theories and legal scholars who frequently build doctrinal arguments from first principles, many of which herald from the historical just war tradition or from the contemporary just war literature. What unites the chapters into a singular conversation is their common skepticism regarding whether the traditional doctrines, in both law and philosophy, have correctly valued the lives of civilians and combatants at war. The arguments outlined in this volume reveal a set of principles, including necessity and proportionality, whose core essence remains essentially contested. What does military necessity mean and are soldiers always subject to lethal force? What is proportionality and how should military commanders attach a value to a military target and weigh it against collateral damage? Do these valuations remain the same for both sides of the conflict? From the secure viewpoint of the purely descriptive, lawyers might confidently describe some of these questions as settled. But many others, even from the vantage point of descriptive theory, remain under-analyzed and radically lacking in clarity and certainty.

Abstract THE prosecution system of England and Wales has been the subject of possibly the most significant, fundamental reform programme in British criminal justice this century. The creation of a new, independent public prosecution service in 1986 heralded a constitutional breakthrough in removing the responsibility for the prosecution of criminal offences away from the police and investing it in a new, publicly accountable agency, thereby ending a tradition of over 150 years. The police were designated the first public prosecutors in 1829, rather more circumstantially than deliberately, due to the absence of a suitable alternative public agency. They have finally now been returned to their primarily investigative role. Fifty years later the post of Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) was established by the Prosecution of Offences Act 1879 to: ‘institute, under take or carry on such proceedings and to give such advice or assistance to chief officers of police, clerks to the justices and other persons, as may be for the time being prescribed by Regulations under this Act or may be directed in a special case by the Attorney-General.’ The nature and number of cases in which the DPP is entitled to intervene, however, is relatively small and includes a number of serious offences such as homicide cases, large-scale fraud cases (under the Prosecution of Offences Regulations 1978), complaints of alleged criminal behaviour committed by a police officer (under s. 49 of the Police Act 1964), and a number of sensitive areas of criminality where the DPP’s consent is required before a public prosecution can proceed.1 Under the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985, s. 1(7), any Crown Prosecutor can now act on behalf of the DPP in consenting to such prosecutions.

In 1994, supermarkets in North America began selling Flavr Savr tomatoes. In 1996, supermarkets in the UK started selling small cans of processed tomato paste. These cans were clearly marked as being from Flavr Savr tomatoes and were heralded as the next big thing in foods. And in Sainsbury's and Safeway they were cheaper than the others, from which no noticeable effort had been made to save any flavour whatsoever. Flavr Savr was a tomato genetically engineered to have slower ripening, hence harder fruit for a longer time. This meant it was easier to pack and transport without damage when harvested. When the product was launched, a BBC article (5 February 1996) stated that the new tomatoes had “the rotting gene removed”. According to Zeneca, the tomato was a win–win for the farmer, the consumer and the environment, and in addition the tomato paste would have a stronger taste and “sticks better to pasta”. For the newly minted “Frankenfoods” anti-GM groups, it was a call to arms.

Created in December 1837, the Ministry of State Properties played a crucial role in agrarian reform and peasant affairs in Russia for decades thereafter. Armed with a reformist ethos and headed for two decades by Pavel Kiselev, the ministry sought to reorder the lives of state peasants—Russia’s principal non-serf population—by promoting new crops such as the potato, establishing communal grain reserves, and building schools. These and other initiatives heralded a new degree of state intervention into the lives of Russia’s rural population and defined key parameters of Russia’s subsequent efforts to solve its ‘peasant question’. The ministry thus occupies a critical place in Russia’s agrarian history.

Abstract The crowd violence that was unleashed in Egypt in 2011 was experienced as a mediated event in two ways. First, in the immediate successes of Tahrir Square, Facebook, and Twitter were heralded as agents of the uprising and responsible for the fall of Mubarak. Second, the failure of the ‘Spring’ with the election of an Islamist government and a counter-revolution that saw the rise of a military dictatorship, news reports sought to make sense of the country’s rapidly flailing political fortunes. Missing from these forms of mediation is literature and its capacity to convey the voices of the rioters, their coordinated spontaneity and their very acts of resistance. While numerous images of the protests were captured, individual stories were drowned out by the raucous cacophony of the masses. Assuming an extended view of the media terrain that recorded the uprising, this chapter examines narrative as a medium that seeks to recover the lost voices of Egypt’s Arab Spring. It will focus on two novels by Robert Omar Hamilton and Yasmin El Rashidi to drill down into how intimate stories and individual voices provide an alternative method to shape our knowledge of crowd violence. It will illustrate how narrative discourses amplify questions about who defines crowd activity as a riot, whose voices are audible and the importance of listening to the many voices in the crowd.

This area which embraced rich agricultural areas, mining areas and developing textile industries had a similar variety of newspaper developments, with old-established Ayr papers facing challenges from Kilmarnock papers and from other smaller towns wanting their own voice, Arthur Guthrie’s Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald being the most effective example of this. The differences initially were often sectarian with the Free Church resenting Establishment dominance, but increasingly the differences were political, Liberalism versus Conservatism and Unionism, and often linked to local political issues. The farming area of Galloway had in the Galloway Gazette ,the most successful Conservative weekly paper in Scotland by the end of the nineteenth century, while in the border towns further east old-established papers such as the Kelso Mail were having to compete Hawick rivals and challenges and papers such as the Southern Reporter that sought to cross county boundaries.

This chapter discusses how those affected by a disaster often form an extraordinary common bond. Self-help support and action group members say that only with others from 'their' disaster can they open up completely, without fear of judgement, about the most difficult aspects of their experience. The examples in this chapter illustrate the kinds of support groups that grew out of those disasters of the 1980s, including the King's Cross Families Action Group, the Herald Families Association, the UK Families Flight 103, the Marchioness Action Group, the Stairway to Heaven Memorial Trust, and the MV Derbyshire Families Association. There are a number of different options for the structure of family and survivor groups in terms of membership, legal status, and management. Some groups have set up unincorporated associations, while a few have chosen to apply for charitable status. Ultimately, representatives from the groups of the 1980s, as well as individual survivors and bereaved people, went on to form, join, and develop Disaster Action.

Abstract Word from Boston spread around town on the afternoon of May 31 that Kelsey Grammer’s Macbeth-the first new Broadway show of the season-was about to disband its band of witches and shutter four days later, on Tony Award Sunday. This in the face of the worst pre-Broadway reviews in-well, nine weeks, when Elaine May’s Taller Than a Dwarf met similar resistance from the same critics at the same theatre in the same town. Terry Byrne of the Boston Herald noted that the play-which “usually incites gut-wrenching terror, sadness and, finally, redemption”-in Grammer’s hands “elicits only snickers and the kind of horror that comes from seeing a production go completely awry:’ Ed Siegel in the Boston Globe called it a “two-hour freight train of an adaptation:’ Markland Taylor of Variety called it “a reasonably competent, underlit staged reading:’ finding the star “a stolid, somewhat flat-footed middle-class, middle-aged man:’ Here, you had a surefire crowd nonpleaser. But you also had a major television star in tow.

Full textAbstract:
North China Herald is the first commercial English newspaper founded by British businessmen in Shanghai. Its editorial group is closely related to the British business community. Based on the historical materials of North China Herald's newspapers and magazines, this study discusses the role of public opinion in modern British trade with China and analyzes the basic views of foreign businessmen on China. Focusing on the interpretation of the historical materials of the North China Herald, this paper collates the public opinion of the North China Herald towards China after the Second Opium War, studies the changes in the attitude and position of foreign businessmen towards China at that time, and judges the function realization of North China Herald in cross-cultural communication.

Full textAbstract:
When the U. S. Capitol burned on 24 August 1814, its principal chambers were gutted and an early masterpiece of American Neoclassical sculpture, a colossal personification of Liberty in the style of the times, was completely destroyed. The Liberty is not well known because in her brief lifetime, no artist stopped to record her - not even Latrobe himself, a prolific sketcher. Liberty presided over Latrobe’s majestic Hall of Representatives, a chamber that was, itself, a difficult collaboration of conflicting ideas between its client Thomas Jefferson and its architect Latrobe. Liberty was an integral part of the architecture and of the architectural sequence; upon entry into the chamber, the ten foot tall sitting Liberty established the chamber’s cross axis within the streaming diffusion of one hundred skylights, proffered entrants a carved copy of the Constitution, cradled a cap of liberty, and was heralded by a bald eagle. Latrobe’s drive to create the Liberty was essential to his concept for the Hall of Representatives. His collaboration with the artist Franzoni also is essential as it demonstrates the delicate dialectic between architectural concept and executed form in a public project. I will show for the first time a model of the colossal Liberty, carefully reconstructed based on all known facts, a single drawing, and the aesthetic proclivities of the principal designers. I have diligently reconstructed the entire Hall, with the Liberty, necessarily, being the most formidable aspect of the design. The making of the Liberty represents about twenty years of effort by various architects and artists to bring to fruition the confluence of a major public work of American architecture and an integral work of monumental American sculpture.

Changes have significantly impacted the Design profession and disciplines during the last two decades, propelled by wicked problems confronting our societies. Climate change, loss of biodiversity, depletion of natural resources and the widening gap between rich and poor are just a few of the complex problems that require new approaches to problem-solving. In this uncertainty scenario, there is an increasing recognition that design, and designers can contribute to practical solutions. Many of these challenges are located outside the context of the business and consumer marketplace, and they require approaches that draw on multiple design specialisms and diverse worldviews. New design areas have been emerging to respond to this complexity, including Design for Social Innovation, Integrated Design and Transition Design (Irwin, 2015). This project heralds to contribute to discourses on how Design Practices can engage and contribute to problems in the field of emergencies, focused on understanding the issues and needs of coastal communities in Chile and Aotearoa, New Zealand. It is structured around an international collaboration between researchers and students from both countries. Generally, in the field of information design, the end-user, the ordinary citizen, is subjected to tests and testing in the final stages of design. We think that co-design methodologies seek to integrate future users early, considering them experts in the knowledge of their physical and social territory, such as a neighbourhood (Wilkomirsky, 2019). According to Petersen, Buscher, Kuhnert, Schneider and Pottebaum (2015), co-design methods are “particularly valuable for eliciting ethical, legal, and social issues that would otherwise go unconsidered” (p.1). But by starting with visual systems already designed we thought that co-evaluation is a necessary first step that would allow us to grasp design judgment elements, among others: legibility, understanding of the message, clarity, and cross this information with the experience of the territory and its people for co-design improvements to what was projected in an abstract scale. Cockbill, May, and Mitchell, V. (2019) define co-design as “the act of designers, end-users, and other actors combining their views, skills, and perspectives at various stages of the design process in ways that influence the outcome” (p.568). In this first phase of this project, we compared visual information for evacuation routes including the administrative structure of the information and the visual display in different platforms in two cities: Whitianga and Puerto Montt, selected due the students local knowledge considering them also as users. Through these methodologies, we would integrate users from an initial stage and co-evaluate the status of the information design in the evacuation routes determined by local authorities, taking the problem designed from a macro scale to a detailed scale, making it possible for specific needs to appear. Due the pandemic, we were able to compare both systems, and design some visual improvements for a signage system that may be tested and evaluated on a second phase with both communities.

Since first appearing at the end of 2019, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread at a pace and scale not seen before. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. A rapid response was called for, and actors across the globe worked quickly to develop sets of preventative measures to contain the disease. One mode of transmission identified early on in the crisis was via surfaces and objects (fomites) (Howard et al. 2020). To combat this, hand hygiene was put forward as a key preventative measure and heralded as ‘the first line of defence against the disease’ (World Bank 2020). What followed was an unprecedented global focus on handwashing with soap. Health messages on how germs spread, the critical times at which hands should be washed, and methods for correct handwashing were shared (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2020). Political leaders around the world promoted handwashing and urged people to adopt the practice to protect against the coronavirus. The primary and secondary impacts of COVID-19 have affected people and industries in a variety of different ways. For the WASH sector, the centring of handwashing in the pandemic response has led to a sudden spike in hygiene activity. This SLH Rapid Topic Review takes stock of some of the cross-cutting challenges the sector has been facing during this period and explores the adaptations that have been made in response. It then looks forwards, thinking through what lies ahead for the sector, and considers the learning priorities for the next steps.
