Medical and philosophical theories of generation from the classical world are often classified according to whether the female as well as the male produces ‘seed’, the fluid substance which does the most important work in procreation. Aristotle is usually identified as the most influential proponent of the ‘one-seed model’, while Galen champions the ‘two-seed’ cause, and the debate …
This chapter discusses the recent emergence of advocacy for 'One Health' (OH): the idea that greater interdisciplinarity across the domains of human and animal health research, clinical practice and policy is essential for addressing contemporary problems such as zoonotic disease, food safety, cancer and drug development. Over the past decade, the language of OH has been taken up by increasingl…
The rise of artificial intelligence is transforming our societies, permeating an ever-expanding array of domains ranging from finance to employment or healthcare. Public regulators, too, increasingly rely on machine learning techniques in the discharge of regulatory tasks - for instance, in prioritising regulatory targets for regulatory attention and/or enforcement, in areas as varied as enviro…
