The relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and the Jews has always been difficult, and this article explores the way in which the early imperial laws of Rome influenced that relationship. Having discussed a selection of laws, consideration is given to how they affected the social standing of the Jews in a growingly Christianised world. There is also a discussion of how a few of the early anti-Jewish laws seemed to be reintroduced during the Middle Ages, as well as during the horrific event which proved to be fateful to the Jewish-Christian relationship, the Holocaust. The article concludes by examining the significance of those imperial laws and questions the relationship of the Church and the Jews in the twenty-first century.

Dyma adroddiad sy'n deillio o waith Prifysgol Abertawe ar brosiect Swan-Linx, prosiect iechyd a ffitrwydd sydd â'r nod o ymchwilio i iechyd a lles plant ysgol ym mlynyddoedd 5 a 6 (9-11 oed). Mae'r adroddiad yn seiliedig ar ddata a gasglwyd drwy gyfrwng: Arolwg iechyd ar y we o'r enw CHAT (Child Health and Activity Tool) sy'n gofyn cwestiynau am ymddygiadau iechyd gwahanol gan gynnwys diet, gweithgaredd corfforol, cwsg a lles. Diwrnod Hwyl Ffitrwydd, lle cafodd BMI (Mynegai Màs y Corff), ffitrwydd aerobig, cyflymder, cryfder, ystwythder, p?er, a hyblygrwydd yn cael eu mesur. Ariannwyd y gwaith cyfrwng Cymraeg gyda chymorth grant bach gan y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol.

In order to examine new potential markets for printed electronics, a research study was undertaken to understand the performance of opaque substrate electroluminescent (EL) lamps. Opaque EL lamps are made possible by a PEDOT:PSS top electrode which replaces the ITO used in the conventional lamps. Screen-printed lamps were manufactured on four substrates (one plastic and three paper) and their performance was measured through brightness measurement. Generally, opaque substrate lamps were 50% less bright than a comparable ITO lamp. Further reductions in brightness were observed with the lighter and rougher papers. Additional layers of PEDOT:PSS increased sheet conductivity but reduced lamp brightness due to a reduction in layer transparency. As lamp size increased, the resistive nature of the PEDOT:PSS caused a significant reduction in lamp output, with a brightness of 25% of a comparable ITO lamp with an illuminated area of 5000 mm2. The relatively poor performance of the opaque lamps is derived not only from the reduced conductivity and transparency of the PEDOT:PSS compared to ITO, but is also caused by the topological nature of the phosphor particles which result in some phosphor material lying outside the electric field created between the two electrodes.

Between 1945 and 1948, up to twelve million Germans who lived in Eastern Europe were expelled following changes to the country’s borders. Many of these Germans resettled in the Federal Republic of Germany, where they came to be known as ‘expellees’. To commemorate their lost homeland, the expellees opened small museums dedicated to the areas of expulsion. This article explores the ways in which history and memory are portrayed in the museum representing the former East Prussian town of Wehlau. By investigating themes such as the representation of the homeland, the Second World War and the integration of the expellees into West Germany, this article will highlight the similarities, differences and tensions in the expellee and wider German memory culture.

Darlith gan Dr Gethin Matthews a roddwyd yng nghynhadledd hanes y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol, Sain Ffagan, 22 Chwefror 2017. Yn y ddarlith hon mae Dr Gethin Matthews yn edrych ar sut mae nifer fawr o ferched Cymru yn cael eu coffáu ar gofebau i'r Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf. Mae'n ystyried sut roedd eu cyfraniad yn cael ei gydnabod yn ystod y blynyddoedd o ymladd, a sut cafodd eu henwau eu cynnwys ar nifer sylweddol o gofebau a grëwyd ar ôl y Rhyfel. Mae'r cyfan yn ddealladwy mewn oes lle roedd 'Iaith 1914' yn rhemp, a grwpiau amrywiol yn cystadlu i ddangos eu teilyngdod a'u teyrngarwch: fodd bynnag, cyn bo hir fe gafodd cyfraniad merched ei anghofio a'i anwybyddu.

In this article we argue that the current laws of the scrum in Rugby Union inevitably lead to unfairness. The scrum is so biomechanically complex that it is impossible for a referee to reliably determine who deserves punishment when the scrum collapses. Consequently, undeserved penalties are inevitable. Furthermore, the players who are penalised may not be causally or morally responsible for the offence. Under certain pressures, they have no choice but to collapse. Resolving the issue is not an easy matter. There is an inevitable trade-off to be negotiated between fairness on the one hand and tradition, excitement and entertainment on the other.

Gwaith ymchwil gan Dr Edward Jones o Ysgol Busnes Bangor sy'n dangos nad oes gwahaniaeth arwyddocaol rhwng y gyfran o gau canghennau banc yng Nghymru a Lloegr ar gyfartaledd. Cyllidwyd yr ymchwil drwy Gronfa Grantiau Bach y Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlethol. Crëwyd set ddata unigryw ar gyfer y prosiect sydd yn cynnwys lleoliad canghennau pob un o'r pedwar banc mwyaf ym Mhrydain yn 1999 a 2016. Mae'r wybodaeth yn caniatáu i'r prosiect wneud cymariaethau rhwng niferoedd y canghennau banc a gaewyd yng Nghymru â gweddill y DU, rhwng ardaloedd gwledig a threfol, a rhwng ardaloedd cyfoethog a thlawd. Mae'r canlyniadau'n cefnogi'r farn fod cau canghennau wedi digwydd yn bennaf mewn ardaloedd trefol llai cefnog. Mae lleoliadau gwledig mwy cyfoethog ar y cyfan wedi profi cyfraddau cau is na'r cyfartaledd.

Saunders Lewis’ Williams Pantycelyn (1927) was the most exciting and controversial work of literary criticism to appear in twentieth century Welsh letters. In ten memorable and often brilliant chapters, Lewis analysed the work of the eighteenth century hymnist not according to the usual Protestant norms but in terms of medieval Catholic mysticism on the one hand and the then novel Freudian and Jungian psychology on the other. The book caused a literary and critical storm. Among those who affirmed its counterintuitive nature was the poet T. Gwynn Jones; its thesis was rejected by the philosopher E. Keri Evans while the preacher-poet Moelwyn Hughes found the volume objectionable in the extreme. Such was the power of Lewis’ analysis, however, that for more than a generation it came to embody a new orthodoxy in the scholarly understanding of William Williams. It was not until the 1960s that this orthodoxy began to be overturned. The accompanying essay describes how this process evolved.
