Lizabeth Johnson | University of New Mexico (original) (raw)
I received my Ph.D. in Medieval History at the University of Washington, Seattle in 2008. My dissertation was focused on kinship and violence in Medieval Wales. I have published articles on spousal violence, prostitution and concubinage, and women's presence in the courts of law following the English conquest of Wales.

However, while official attitudes towards concubinage and prostitution in the pre-conquest period remain unclear due to the lack of survival of pre-conquest court records, the post-conquest court roll evidence from the Marcher lordships and principality indicates that official attitudes towards concubines and prostitutes changed over the course of the fourteenth century, becoming increasingly negative towards both groups of women, a situation that paralleled developments in European society as a whole. In the final century of Wales’s independence, various scholars in the employ of the English court and church produced numerous claims regarding the backwardness of Welsh society and culture, including marital and sexual practices. According to Gerald of Wales, ‘There is no fear of God before their eyes’, and [the Welsh] have n...

Decreased saliva production is common among elderly people and may compromise oral health with implications for systemic health, nutrition, and quality of life. The density and affinity of muscarinic receptors in the submandibular gland of rats and the Ca 2÷ responses to stimulation of these receptors in the acinar cells were examined. An increase in the number of receptors and increases in the affinities of the receptors were found as the rats age from 7 weeks to 11 months. However, the coupling of the receptors to the intracellular Ca 2÷ signals in acinar cell clusters was substantially reduced in the older animals. Copyright (?) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
