Mehera Irani

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The 3 volume work by David Fenster is not a reliable source; neither the author nor the publication house has any credibility/repute and t÷he publication house is non-independent.

As determined in a RSN thread; Bhau Kalchuri's biography is not reliable (for largely the same reasons) except as to verification of non-extraordinary claims. Certainly, it does not add any to notability.

We are left with Purdom, who (despite being one of Meher baba's closest associates) has covered her in the context of his narrative about Meher baba via a a reliable press. But, a single source doesn't confer a passage of WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO.

I don't locate any other reliable source that covers her signifcantly (in a non-trivial fashion) and hence, seek a redirect to Mandali_(Meher_Baba) ∯ WBG converse 16:40, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep, at least this one's a save. The publishing house of George Allen & Unwin(now Allen & Unwin) is, in fact, one of the most credible publishing houses in the world. It published, for instance, J. R. Tolkian's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbitt, among many other well known publications. A reputable source. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Are you trying to compare publication of fiction with non-fiction? That seems odd, and one non-neutral author/source does not notability make. - Sitush (talk) 17:07, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The publishing house is notable and reputable. It published a nonfiction book which lends reputability to this article. Maybe the book can be used to bulk up some of the cites on the deleted articles, but I'm surprised that the Baba editors here were strangely silent on the burial site page. I got caught up in these pages when the first wave of deletions were ongoing out of a sense of fairness. Is Baba so disliked in India? Peter Townshend seems to really like him, which should say something in his behalf. And, of course, Don't Worry, Be Happy gave him a nice image. I guess I'm missing something in terms of understanding the dislike, but that's neither Here or there. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:21, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I see you are again casting aspersions, despite being warned about it by when they closed the recent AfD on a related matter - this has nothing to do with dislike and I, for one, am not even from India or of Indian heritage. And, for what it is worth, the opinion of Pete Townshend counts for nothing more than mine here, and the status of the publisher means nothing in terms of the notability of the subject. As I've just said on your talk page, I think you need to read WP:CIR. - Sitush (talk) 17:31, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That still doesn't answer my question as to why a published book by a reputable publisher doesn't "count". Because, as you say below, it's labeled as being written by a hagiographer? Where is that line drawn? Anyway, this woman seems to have been the central female in the Baba group, and that seems important enough to the topic to be worthy of an article as long as a good source by a reputable publisher has been included, which it seems to have been. Randy Kryn (talk) 22:21, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , WP:GNG says:- If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.
 * Purdom counts somewhat (though not very strongly, courtesy the independence concerns) but even then, it's a single source contra the emphasis on plural, in the above quote. ∯ WBG converse 06:34, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

 * My mistake, and thanks for pointing it out in case I hadn't caught it already. But the book that I meant above that they did publish, Charles Purdom's work, is reputable and should satisfy even you. Why doesn't it? Randy Kryn (talk) 17:23, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, it was your mistake. You're also making the mistake of (again) misunderstanding WP:GNG and again misunderstanding that a hagiographer etc is not independent. - Sitush (talk) 17:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

The Story of Abraham (tapestries)

The Story of Abraham is a set of ten Brussels tapestries depicting stories from the life of the biblical prophet Abraham. They appear to have been designed by Bernaert van Orley initially, but completed by Pieter Coecke van Aelst around 1537, both artists who were leading designers for the Brussels workshops. Three sets survive.

One set was delivered to Henry VIII of England in 1543; it now hangs in what was probably the original intended location, the Great Hall in Hampton Court Palace near London. Two other matching sets are known, one from the Spanish royal collection, now in Madrid and one in Vienna from the Austrian imperial collection; these sets do not feature the same gilt-thread, and their lower quality when compared to the Hampton Court set suggests that Henry's was the original weaving.

Description
The scenes depicted are taken from chapters 12-24 of the Book of Genesis and feature "Departure of Abraham; the Return of Sarah; the Separation of Abraham and Lot; the Meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek; God appears to Abraham; the Circumcision of Isaac and the Expulsion of Hagar; the Sacrifice of Isaac; the Purchase of the Field of Ephron; the Oath and Departure of Eliezer; and Eliezer and Rebekah at the Well."

Each tapestry is surrounded by a wide, highly decorated border. The upper section of each border features a Latin summary of the story depicted; for example, in the upper section of the Sacrifice of Isaac, a central cartouche, among scrolling acanthus leaves, bears the inscription "" ("Abraham, at God's command, sacrifices his only begotten son, Isaac"). The side and lower sections are divided into a series of architectural niches, featuring allegorical figures with an accompanying Latin description. Across the whole series there are a total of 110 figures, each relating in some way to the central image of their tapestry. For example, "the Meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek", depicting the meeting between King Melchizedek and a victorious Abraham who is returning from defeating the King Chedorlaomer, features the personification of Fame and Honour. Other figures include ' (Faith), ' (Hope) and  (Willingness of Spirit). This border design is believed to be derived from Raphael's Acts of the Apostles, which employs a similar scheme; Raphael, however, only relates his figures to the central scene in a general way and The Story of Abraham is believed to first set of tapestries to include borders integral to its design.

Origins and context
Several of the Hampton Court tapestries carry the Brussels town mark and that of one of the most successful Brussels tapestry merchants of the 1530s and 1540s, Willem de Kempeneer. But no documentation relating to its purchase has yet emerged. The works were woven in the workshop of Willem de Pannemaker, one of the leading Brussels weavers. Apart from Bernaert van Orley and Pieter Coecke van Aelst, a number of designers have been suggested in the past, including Giulio Romano and Raphael (the latter wildly improbable as he died in 1520). The tapestries were listed among the king's effects in the 1547 inventory taken following his death. The tapestries are recorded as being hung in the palace during the reign of Elizabeth I. German Paul Hentzner described the series in 1598 as shining with "gold and silver and silk of difference colours" and being "hung up when the Queen gives audience to foreign Ambassadors".

Originally hung in the great hall of Hampton Court Palace and delivered sometime in December 1543 or early 1544, several years after the design process began in 1537. Possibly they were commissioned to celebrate the birth of his only son, later Edward VI of England, by Jane Seymour. Henry's reign was one of political turmoil. He needed a son to bolster his fledgling dynasty and he had recently split with the Catholic Church in Rome. He may have used the Old Testament imagery of Abraham's Covenant with God in attempt to legitimise his new position as head of an independent church, and the story of The Circumcision of Isaac to represent his desire for a much awaited male heir.

Later royal use
The tapestries were probably among those described as "scenes from Genesis" used with the Acts of the Apostles to decorate Westminster Abbey for the coronation of Elizabeth I. They were frequently displayed in the following centuries and Charles I hung them at a number of state occasions, including the celebration of St. George's Feast in April 1635, and the receptions of the Moroccan and of the Spanish ambassadors in 1637 and 1649. Following his deposition in 1649, an inventory of Charles I's goods valued the series at "£10 per yard or £8260". However, rather than sell them, as he did with a number of Charles's valuable possessions, Oliver Cromwell decided to retain the series for his own use.

Following the demise of the Commonwealth of England, the tapestries were once again put to state use. Both Charles II and his successor, James II of England, hung parts of the series at their coronations in Westminster Abbey. It was at this time that Charles II commissioned a second set of lesser quality, replicating the Story of Abraham series, which still hang in Jerusalem Chamber of Westminster Abbey; the reason for this commission remains unknown. Repairs were carried out on the originals in 1663 and 1664. During the reign of William III, some of the series was hung in the King's Bedchamber. By 1742 they were recorded as being set in the Audience Chamber and Drawing Room at Hampton Court.

Whilst some of the tapestries were used at the coronations of George I and George II, the tapestries 'languished' during the Hanoverian era. They were still in a good state of repair by 1727, being described as "very large and very rich with silver and gold", but by this point Hampton Court had ceased to be a regular residence for the monarch a great number of the palaces treasures were transported elsewhere to furnish other palaces. With little interest from succeeding monarchs, the palace was converted into a museum by William IV in 1830.

Victorians to the present day
By the coronation of Queen Victoria, Hampton Court had suffered massive deterioration. Both the queen and Prince Albert took an interest in improving standards at the palace and a new scientific approach to conservation was emerging. Five of the tapestries were rehung in the great hall in 1841, with a further two being rehung at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace. By 1884 the condition of a number of tapestries at Hampton Court, including the Story of Abraham series, had reached parliament and the Treasury granted a sum of £400 for 13 needle-women to complete restoration on some 37 works. In 1887 they were valued at £200,000. George V set up a committee tasked with preserving the tapestries in 1912. The committee was established at Hampton Court, judging the tapestries too fragile and valuable to be moved. Restoration continued through the First World War, with each tapestry taking an estimated five years to complete. By 1961, The Meeting of Abraham and Malchizedek remained the only unrestored tapestry.

Restoration and conservation
When conservation work was being completed on the windows of the Great Hall, it was decided that the tapestries would remain in situ, with the risks of placing them in storage considered too great. The works were first covered in a protective material, before specially commissioned copies were hung over, allowing the Great Hall to keep its previous appearance.

Digital restoration
In 2006, researchers at the University of Manchester began to create a digitally restored version of the series. By removing the lining of the tapestry, the back, which was much less affected by sunlight, was able to be used to more accurately assess what the original colours may have been. Detailed photographs were taken of both the front and the back, allowing a high-quality digital archive of the current condition of the tapestry to be created. In 2009, the recoloured images were projected onto the faded tapestries to allow visitors to see what they may have looked like when first woven. In order to minimise the chance of damage to the series, the projection only lasted six minutes at a time and was shown a maximum of five times a day. To further reduce any risk, rather than direct white light, single colours were projected onto localised areas.

Canadian Investor Protection Fund

The Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF) is a not-for-profit corporation created by the Canadian investment industry in 1969 to protect investor assets in the event of a CIPF member's bankruptcy. CIPF is funded by its members, which are the approximately two hundred investment dealer firms regulated by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC).

Investors automatically receive coverage by opening an account with a CIPF member. Each investor's coverage, when held at a CIPF member, is:
 * CA$ 1 million for all non-registered accounts and TFSAs combined,
 * another $1 million for RRSPs and RRIFs,
 * and a further $1 million for RESPs.

By example, if a person's assets are distributed between the different classes of accounts (taxable accounts, TFSA, RRSP/RRIF, RESP), they have up to CA$ 3 million in coverage at a particular CIPF member institution. An individual then may also have these accounts at other institutions for further diversification.

When a CIPF member becomes bankrupt, the CIPF will move the investor's account, within the limits of coverage, to another investment dealer where the investor can access it.

Python Programming/Basic Syntax

There are five fundamental concepts in Python.

Semicolons
Python does not normally use semicolons, but they are allowed to separate statements on the same line, if your code has semicolons; your code isn't "Pythonic"

Case Sensitivity
All variables are case-sensitive. Python treats 'number' and 'Number' as separate, unrelated entities.

Spaces and tabs don't mix
Instead of block delimiters (braces → "{}" in the C family of languages), indentation is used to indicate where blocks begin and end. Because whitespace is significant, remember that spaces and tabs don't mix, so use only one or the other when indenting your programs. A common error is to mix them. While they may look the same in editor, the interpreter will read them differently and it will result in either an error or unexpected behavior. Most decent text editors can be configured to let tab key emit spaces instead.

Python's Style Guideline described that the preferred way is using 4 spaces.

Tips: If you invoked python from the command-line, you can give -t or -tt argument to python to make python issue a warning or error on inconsistent tab usage.

This will issue an error if you have mixed spaces and tabs.

Objects
In Python, like all object-oriented languages, there are aggregations of code and data called objects, which typically represent the pieces in a conceptual model of a system.

Objects in Python are created (i.e., instantiated) from templates called classes (which are covered later, as much of the language can be used without understanding classes). They have attributes, which represent the various pieces of code and data which make up the object. To access attributes, one writes the name of the object followed by a period (henceforth called a dot), followed by the name of the attribute.

An example is the 'upper' attribute of strings, which refers to the code that returns a copy of the string in which all the letters are uppercase. To get to this, it is necessary to have a way to refer to the object (in the following example, the way is the literal string that constructs the object).

Code attributes are called methods. So in this example, upper is a method of 'bob' (as it is of all strings). To execute the code in a method, use a matched pair of parentheses surrounding a comma separated list of whatever arguments the method accepts (upper doesn't accept any arguments). So to find an uppercase version of the string 'bob', one could use the following:

Scope
In a large system, it is important that one piece of code does not affect another in difficult to predict ways. One of the simplest ways to further this goal is to prevent one programmer's choice of a name from blocking another's use of that name. The concept of scope was invented to do this. A scope is a "region" of code in which a name can be used and outside of which the name cannot be easily accessed. There are two ways of delimiting regions in Python: functions or modules. They each have different ways of providing their content outside of their scope. Functions return data as the result of execution. Modules leads us to another concept, namespace.

Namespaces
It would be possible to teach Python without the concept of namespaces because they are so similar to attributes, which we have already mentioned, but the concept of namespaces is one that transcends any particular programming language, and so it is important to teach. To begin with, there is a built-in function dir that can be used to help one understand the concept of namespaces. When you first start the Python interpreter (i.e., in interactive mode), you can list the objects in the current (or default) namespace using this function.

This function can also be used to show the names available within a module's namespace. To demonstrate this, first we can use the type function to show what kind of object __builtins__ is:

Since it is a module, it has a namespace. We can list the names within the __builtins__ namespace, again using the dir function (note that the complete list of names has been abbreviated):

Namespaces are a simple concept. A namespace is a particular place in which names specific to a module reside. Each name within a namespace is distinct from names outside of that namespace. This layering of namespaces is called scope. A name is placed within a namespace when that name is given a value. For example:

Note that I was able to add the "name" variable to the namespace using a simple assignment statement. The import statement was used to add the "math" name to the current namespace. To see what math is, we can simply:

Since it is a module, it also has a namespace. To display the names within this namespace, we:

If you look closely, you will notice that both the default namespace and the math module namespace have a '__name__' object. The fact that each layer can contain an object with the same name is what scope is all about. To access objects inside a namespace, simply use the name of the module, followed by a dot, followed by the name of the object. This allows us to differentiate between the __name__ object within the current namespace, and that of the object with the same name within the math module. For example:

Mental age

Mental age is a concept related to intelligence. It looks at how a specific individual, at a specific age, performs intellectually, compared to average intellectual performance for that individual's actual chronological age (i.e. time elapsed since birth). The intellectual performance is based on performance in tests and live assessments by a psychologist. The score achieved by the individual is compared to the median average scores at various ages, and the mental age (x, say) is derived such that the individual's score equates to the average score at age x.

However, mental age depends on what kind of intelligence is measured. For instance, a child's intellectual age can be average for their actual age, but the same child's emotional intelligence can be immature for their physical age. Psychologists often remark that girls are more emotionally mature than boys at around the age of puberty. Also, a six-year-old child intellectually gifted can remain a three-year-old child in terms of emotional maturity. Mental age can be considered a controversial concept.

Early theories
During much of the 19th century, theories of intelligence focused on measuring the size of human skulls. Anthropologists well known for their attempts to correlate cranial size and capacity with intellectual potential were Samuel Morton and Paul Broca.

The modern theories of intelligence began to emerge along with experimental psychology. This is when much of psychology was moving from philosophical to more biology and medical science basis. In 1890, James Cattell published what some consider the first "mental test". Cattell was more focused on heredity rather than environment. This spurs much of the debate about the nature of intelligence. Mental age was first defined by the French psychologist Alfred Binet, who introduced the intelligence test in 1905, with the assistance of Theodore Simon. Binet's experiments on French schoolchildren laid the framework for future experiments into the mind throughout the 20th century. He created an experiment that was designed as a test to be completed quickly and was taken by children of various ages. In general, of course older children performed better on these tests than younger ones. However, the younger children who had exceeded the average of their age group were said to have a higher "mental age", and those who performed below that average were deemed to have a lower "mental age". Binet's theories suggested that while mental age was a useful indicator, it was by no means fixed permanently, and individual growth or decline could be attributed to changes in teaching methods and experiences.

Henry Herbert Goddard was the first psychologist to bring Binet's test to the United States. He was one of the many psychologists in the 1910s who believed intelligence was a fixed quantity. While Binet believed this was not true, the majority of those in the USA believed it was hereditary.

Modern theories
The limitations of the Stanford-Binet caused David Wechsler to publish the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) in 1955. These two tests were split into two different ones for children. The WAIS-IV is the known current publication of the test for adults. The reason for this test was to score the individual and compare it to others of the same age group rather than to score by chronological age and mental age. The fixed average is 100 and the normal range is between 85 and 115. This is a standard currently used and is used in the Stanford-Binet test as well.

Recent studies showed that mental age and biological age are connected.

Mental age and IQ
Modern intelligence tests, such as the current Stanford-Binet test, no longer compute the IQ using the above "ratio IQ" formula. Instead, the results of several different standardized tests are combined to derive a score. This score reflects how far the person's performance deviates from the average performance of others who are the same age, arbitrarily defined as an average score of 100. An individual's "deviation IQ" is then estimated, using a more complicated formula or table, from their score's percentile at their chronological age. But at least as recently as 2007, older tests using ratio IQs were sometimes still used for a child whose percentile was too high for this to be precise, or whose abilities may exceed a deviation IQ test's ceiling.

A child's IQ can be roughly estimated using the formula: $$\quad \mathrm{IQ} = \frac{\mathrm{mental\;age}}{\mathrm{chronological\;age}} \cdot 100$$

Controversy
Measures such as mental age and IQ have limitations. Binet did not believe these measures represented a single, permanent, and inborn level of intelligence. He stressed that intelligence overall is too broad to be represented by a single number. It is influenced by many factors such as the individual's background, and it changes over time.

Throughout much of the 20th century, many psychologists believed intelligence was fixed and hereditary while others believed other factors would affect intelligence.

After World War I, the concept of intelligence as fixed, hereditary, and unchangeable became the dominant theory within the experimental psychological community. By the mid-1930s, there was no longer agreement among researchers on whether or not intelligence was hereditary. There are still recurring debates about the influence of environment and heredity upon an individual's intelligence.

Igor Rudan

Igor Rudan (born 7 March 1971) is a Croatian-British scientist, writer, and science communicator. He leads research projects in global health and genetics, writes books, and creates documentary series.

Igor Rudan is a medical doctor with two master’s degrees (in anthropology and epidemiology) and two Ph.D. degrees (in public health and genetic epidemiology). He has published more than 600 research papers as of 1 October 2023, which have been cited more than 200,000 times.

In his early career, he developed a biobank in the isolate island populations of Croatia (“10001 Dalmatians”). He co-led the study that first identified associations between SLC2A9 genetic variants, uric acid levels and gout; and identified variants that regulate human protein N-glycosylation; and predispose to autoimmune diseases and cancers. He co-authored 12 Nature and 64 Nature Genetics papers that assigned biomedical function to more than 2000 human genetic variants.

In his later career, he focused on international health efforts to reduce global child mortality as the member of Child Health Epidemiology Reference Group (CHERG). He served as a consultant of the World Health Organization, UNICEF, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, The World Bank, Save the Children, and other organizations. He developed the "CHNRI" methodology (in 2007) and EQUIST tool (in 2012). Both have been widely used by international agencies to prioritize investments in global health research and interventions, respectively.

He founded or co-founded Croatian Centre for Global Health at the University of Split, Croatia (in 2008), Edinburgh University Global Health Society (in 2011), Journal of Global Health (in 2011), World Health Organization's Collaborating Centre for Population Health Research and Training (in 2013), Centre for Global Health at the University of Edinburgh (in 2015), Journal of Global Health Reports (in 2017) and the International Society of Global Health (in 2019).

He is most widely known for his popularizing of biomedical science. In 2017 he completed a documentary series "Survival: The Story of Global Health" which was broadcast on Croatian National TV and seen by more than 1 million people. He published four No. 1 national bestsellers in popular science in Croatia: The Exact Colour of the Sky: The Story of Science (in 2017), Evil Air: The Story of Medicine (in 2018), In the Land of Clans: The Story of Adaptation (in 2019) and Awaiting the Fires: The Story of Sustainability (in 2020).

He was included among ISI/Thomson Reuters "World's Most Influential Scientific Minds". He received awards including the Wellcome Trust's International Research Development Award (in 2002), "Scientist of the Year" Award from The Croatian Parliament (in 2005), Visiting Professorship for Senior International Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (in 2012), The Chancellor's Award for Research (in 2012) and Principal’s Medal (in 2019). In 2016, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE). In 2020 he was the adviser to the Croatian Government for COVID-19 response and he launched a health education campaign on the pandemics which reached up to three million people in eight countries. Subsequently, he has been admitted to the Academia Europaea (2022), the European Academy of Sciences and Arts (2023), and the International Academy of Sciences and Arts of the Bosnia and Herzegovina as a Laureate (2023).

Early life and education
Igor Rudan was born in Zagreb, Croatia's capital in 1971, which was then a city in the former Yugoslavia. His father Nikola Rudan, was a surgeon at the Institute for Tumours and Allied Diseases in Zagreb. His mother, Tatjana (nee Valić), was a concert pianist. His uncle, Pavao Rudan, Nikola's younger brother, was an anthropologist and an eminent Croatian scholar who later became Secretary-General of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Their father and Rudan's grandfather, Mario Rudan, was a judge of the Croatian Supreme Court, while his wife Lucija (nee Perinić) was a school teacher and a well-known Croatian poet. Family Rudan originates from the village of Bogomolje on the island of Hvar, Croatia.

Igor Rudan attended the primary school Veljko Vlahović, in Krajiška Street in Zagreb, from 1977 until 1985. He took part in several state championships in mathematics, physics, and chess from 1983 to 1985. He also represented his school at the Zagreb city championships, in swimming and athletics [5,6]. In 1985, he joined the High School for Mathematics and Computer Science (MIOC) in Zagreb, where he was top of his class. This led him to take up the offer for the "Open Door" exchange program, to complete high school in the United States. From 1988 until 1989, he attended West Charlotte High School, in Charlotte, North Carolina. There, he was the single awardee of the Annual School Award for Mathematics in 1989. He was also awarded as the high school's top unrated player, at the chess championship of North Carolina.

University education
He graduated from the University of Zagreb Medical School in 1995.

From 1989-1995 he returned to Zagreb to study medicine at the University Medical School. He studied during the period of the Homeland War in Croatia (1991-1995) and obtained a degree of Medical Doctor (M.D.) as the joint top of his class. He also engaged in cancer research with his father Nikola Rudan and with Professor Marija Strnad, the head of the Cancer Registry of Croatia. This collaboration resulted in more than 20 research papers, case reports, and case series published between 1992 and 1995. He led this research as a medical student, publishing the results mainly in Croatian journals Libri Oncologici and Acta Medica Croatica.

During his medical studies, he was awarded the Annual Award from the Principal (Rector) of the University of Zagreb for the best student scientific article in the academic year 1992/93 and 1993/94. He was also awarded the Scholarship for the 50 most successful students from the University of Zagreb in 1993 and 1994 and the Scholarship of the City of Zagreb for the 20 most successful students in 1994. Later in 1994, he received the main Award for Presentation at the annual conference of the European Medical Students Association (EMSA) in Prague, Czech Republic.

He continued his postgraduate education at the University of Zagreb. Mentored by Dr Branka Janicijevic from the Institute for Anthropological Research in Zagreb, he obtained the Master's of Science (M.Sc.) degree from the University of Zagreb in 1997. This was for the study of the effects of consanguinity and inbreeding on cancer incidence in Croatian island isolate populations. A year later, in 1998, he obtained the Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) degree from the University of Zagreb Medical School. Mentored by Professor Silvije Vuletić from the School of Public Health "Andrija Štampar", he studied the effects of isonymy and ancestral kinship on cancer in a remote island of Lastovo, Croatia, based on the reconstruction of genealogies for six generations of the local population.

In 1999 he joined the European School for Advanced Studies at the University of Pavia, Italy. Mentored by Professor Nadia Ranzani, he obtained a Master's degree in Public Health (M.P.H.) for a genetic epidemiological analysis of familial clusters of cancer on the island of Lastovo, Croatia. In 2000 and 2001 he received British Scholarship Trust (BST) Fellowship, Overseas Research Scheme (ORS) Fellowship, and the Ph. D. fellowship from the University of Edinburgh. This allowed him to move to the United Kingdom and complete his Ph.D. in genetic epidemiology in 2005. Mentored by Professor Harry Campbell, he studied the effects of inbreeding and consanguinity on human quantitative traits and complex common diseases of late-onset.

He presently works as a Professor of International Health and Molecular Medicine and joint Director of the Centre for Global Health and World Health Organization's Collaborating Centre for Population Health Research and Training at the University of Edinburgh. As of September 2023, he published more than 600 research articles and 12 books. Based on Google Scholar, he received more than 200,000 citations and has H-index of 161.

Career in genetic research
After obtaining his first doctorate in 1999, Igor Rudan started to develop the biobank called “10,001 Dalmatians”. At the time, this was a very rare DNA-based human biobank in a middle-income country. This resource for genetic epidemiological studies was established in a series of genetic isolate islands off the coast of Dalmatia region in Croatia. In 2001 he received the International Research Development Award from The Wellcome Trust for his research and vision. Further development of this biobank was achieved through collaboration with Professors Harry Campbell from the University of Edinburgh and Alan F. Wright from the Human Genetics Unit of the Medical Research Council (MRC) in Edinburgh.

The outbreeding theory: Studying the effects of human inbreeding and admixture
Rudan's early work focused on studying the effects of inbreeding and admixture on human health and disease. At the time, in early 2000s, one of the central questions relevant to gene mapping was to predict the genetic architecture of complex quantitative biological traits that underlie common late-onset diseases. Most research of that period assumed that it was "oligogenic", i.e. that only a handful of genes would confer the majority of genetic risk for complex quantitative traits and diseases. Using inbreeding studies and very elegant designs within his PhD research, Rudan and his colleagues showed that the genetic architecture of those traits must be highly polygenic, with at least several hundred loci contributing to genetic risk of human hypertension and late-onset diseases.

These studies, published in 2003, were entirely against the predominant thinking. This made them were very difficult to publish. Their implications were summarized in a review published by the influential scientific journal Trends in Genetics in 2003. A decade later, hundreds of genome-wide association studies have shown beyond any doubt that the genetic architecture of human quantitative traits and common complex diseases of late-onset is highly polygenic. Rudan's work on studying the effects of inbreeding and admixture on human disease was continued at the University of Edinburgh through the PhD theses by Ozren Polasek, Ruth McQuillan, and Peter Joshi. After 16 years of continuous research, it resulted in a paper in Nature, demonstrating effects on stature and cognition in diverse human populations. Based on these results, Rudan proposed "the outbreeding theory", i.e. that large human movements, migrations and urbanization may be partly driving, through so-called "hybrid vigor", the observed secular trends, improvements in public health indicators and human lifespan.

10001 Dalmatians: Genome-wide association studies of quantitative traits
Rudan developed the resource "10001 Dalmatians" with the help of his close collaborators Harry Campbell and Ozren Polašek. The biobank mainly comprised the examinees from the islands of Vis and Korčula in Dalmatia, Croatia. With the advent of "chips" for genome-wide scans developed by the company Illumina, genome-wide association studies became possible and the Croatian resource was among the first to carry them out. However, due to a highly polygenic nature of the studied traits, gene discovery required very large sample sizes. This led to many European and global biobanks joining together to form large collaborative consortia. Their work led to hundreds of original research papers, many of which were published in the leading science journals - Nature, Science or Nature Genetics.

In collaboration with other international biobanks, the "10001 Dalmatians" resource contributed to the discovery of several thousands of human genetic variants that were associated with quantitative biological traits and complex diseases. Igor Rudan co-led the discovery of the SLC2A9 gene variants that were associated with uric acid levels and gout disease. In collaboration with Professor Gordan Lauc from the University of Zagreb, he also co-led the first two studies that identified genetic variants associated with human N-glycans levels.

Career in global health
Since March 2001, Rudan has been working as a Technical Expert within the Child Health Epidemiology Reference Group (CHERG) of the World Health Organization and UNICEF. This influential group of researchers led the "child survival revolution" in the 21st century and made important contributions that reduced global child mortality.

Child survival - United Nation's Millennium Development Goal 4
Igor Rudan's contributions to the CHERG work included leading a systematic assessment to identify gaps in child health information globally and producing several reports on the global burden of pediatric infectious diseases, such as clinical pneumonia and diarrhea  and meningitis. He also contributed to several influential estimates of the causes of global child mortality. Working with Professor Harry Campbell, he developed guidelines for performing community-based studies of childhood infections and evaluated existing and emerging interventions.

CHNRI method - setting global research priorities
Working as a consultant for Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) of the Global Forum for Health Research and funded mainly by the World Bank, Igor Rudan developed and implemented a systematic methodology for setting priorities in global health research investments. The CHNRI methodology has been implemented by many international organizations and countries to identify research priorities, resulting in more than 100 reports in leading journals to date. It became the most widely used method to set health research priorities in the 21st century.

EQUIST tool - prioritising investments in global health
Working as a consultant for UNICEF, Igor Rudan co-developed a method to address investment prioritization in health care and health interventions - Equitable Impact Sensitive Tool (EQUIST). The EQUIST tool was used by international organisations and national governments to conduct scenario analyses and identify priority populations, bottlenecks and operational strategies to reduce maternal and child mortality. EQUIST helps stakeholders to develop evidence-based, equitable and cost-effective national health strategies. In 2012-2013, the EQUIST model was expanded by UNICEF into a more user-friendly global data science platform. EQUIST has been used as a basis for Investment Case Studies required by a new global financial initiative called Global Financing Facility (GFF) launched in 2015 to finance the Sustainable Development Goals.

Journal of Global Health
In 2011, Igor Rudan founded a scientific journal - The Journal of Global Health - with two co-editors-in-chief. It was launched on the occasion of the 19th World Congress of Epidemiology. In 2017, he also founded Journal of Global Health Reports. Since 2019, both journals are officially published by the International Society of Global Health. In 2022 and 2023, the Journal of Global Health has been ranked 1st among Scottish scientific journals, with impact factor greater than 7.

Global Health Epidemiology Research Group - global health metrics
With the launch of the new journal, Igor Rudan extended the CHERG work to non-communicable diseases through establishing a global academic collaboration - Global Health Epidemiology Reference Group (GHERG). He assembled and lead the “CHI Consortium” (CHI = China Health Information) and studied reports of Chinese researchers stored in searchable electronic databases in Chinese. He was also a co-developer of GATHER guidelines (Guidelines for Accurate and Transparent Health Estimates Reporting). Notable results of GHERG include the first estimates of child mortality causes in China and dementia prevalence in China, and the global epidemiological estimates for peripheral artery disease (PAD), carotid atherosclerosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), aortic aneurysms, hypertension in children, H. pylori infection in children, asthma, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, vitamin A deficiency, accidents and injuries, sickle cell disease, inborn errors of metabolism,   type 1 diabetes, and many others.

International Society of Global Health - co-founder and inaugural President
In 2019, Igor Rudan co-founded the International Society of Global Health (ISoGH) and was elected the inaugural President. The society aims to promote global health as a field of scientific research and health care practice nationally and internationally. It produces and disseminates information relating to global health research and practice. Also, it trains and expands the general pool of professionals skilled in global health research and practice.

Career in public communication of science
In 2016, Rudan became a science communicator. Since 2016, he published >250 columns to popularise science for the leading Croatian newspaper Vecernji list and further 10 for the leading Croatian online news portal Index.hr. He also published > 40 long reads in English for Medium.com to popularise global health topics. Supported by The Wellcome Trust and BBC Scotland, he developed a documentary series Survival: The Story of Global Health (2017). Simultaneously, he wrote a 4-book popular science Tetralogy on the 21st century, which contained the books ''The Exact Colour of the Sky (2017), Evil Air (2018), In the Land of Clans (2019) and Awaiting the Fires (2020).  All four books became national bestsellers in Croatia. ''

Role in COVID-19 pandemic response
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Igor Rudan engaged in several roles. He was a scientific adviser to the Government of Croatia in planning the COVID-19 response in Croatia. From his already established position of science communicator, he also launched a massive health education campaign, writing columns about the pandemic for Vecernji list. They were followed by up to 3 million people in all six countries of the former Yugoslavia, in the United Kingdom and the United States, and published in other countries in other international outlets, including comments for BBC News, CNN, Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Guardian and others.

He was active as an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Global Health, where many reports on the national-level response on COVID-19 were reviewed and published. As a member of the influential Early Pandemic Evaluation and Enhanced Surveillance of COVID-19 (EAVE II) group, he also wrote a number of notable editorials and co-authored high-impact research articles on COVID-19 pandemic.

Site of Resistance
The Site of Resistance or Space of Resistance is a term used in contexts of social justices. It is most commonly used in a voice of resistance to the dominant power of the given social or political discipline. Confrontation from the indoctrinated social groups is strengthened and bonded through the identification of the oppressor.

The phrase is open to two interpretations of direct and indirect sites of resistance. The former representing physical sites of resistance, while the latter is presented through efforts made to fight against the dominant. It has been incorporated into the language of communities hegemonised by oppressive powers. It has also been used in book titles, web articles and incorporated into a figure of speech.

African American
bell hooks, one of the most recognised writers and activists of the 20th century gives her take on the site of resistance in her works, Marginality as Site of Resistance and Choosing Margin as a Space of Radical Openness. hooks typically writes her literature drawn on her experiences growing up as an African American woman in the United States. She describes her childhood living on the margins of society, separated by railway tracks that distinguish the poor and the wealthy.

Space of resistance is described as an abstract concept where marginalisation holds double meanings. The first being the recognition of oneself as a suppressed individual, the second as a site for confrontation to the producer of inequality. She describes, “a site of deprivation” as well as “a site of radical possibility.” She argues the site of marginality as a “central location for the production of counter-hegemonic discourse.” Not a place of despair and grief but rather an environment “one stays in, clings to even, because it nourishes one’s capacity to resist."

Puerto Ricans
Located in Chicago, Illinois, the Puerto Rican Cultural Centre (PRCC) stands a twenty-five year history of being the community’s second largest institution in support of Puerto Rican “independence and barrio autonomy.” The community practices a myriad of direct and subtle strategies to combat systematic unfairness such as the battle over the gentrification of neighbourhood. Their space of resistance is understood through material as well as metaphorical resistance. In which the former represents a physical location such as the PRCC, and the latter demonstrated through from protests to art exhibitions.

Space is described as “more than location but circumscribing zone of shared representations.” It opens an idea of evaluating space and and community in a global city, and also taking into digitisation as a consideration while evaluating the two. The struggle faced by Puerto Ricans are both material and metaphorical. It is material in their efforts to demarcate an idea special to the community, and the latter being the efforts to replicate a unique Puerto Rican culture within Chicago.

Environmentalists
Revitalising the Commons: Cultural and Educational Sites of Resistance and Affirmation, by C. A. Bowers, uses this idea in the context of the privatisation of public grounds caused by economic globalisation. More broadly, the cause for the widening gap of uneven distribution of wealth and power. In the book, he represents cultural and environmental commons that challenge the systematic operations. The purpose of this book is aimed to influence the education system in expanding knowledge of the effects of industrial culture in West and third world countries.

A site of resistance in his interpretation represents “models of life in post-industrial cultures that can be sustained by the earth’s ecosystem.” The book argues scholars who have been indoctrinated by abstract explanations of conservatism and liberalism do not believe traditions should be carried on, however the book protests in raising the value in understanding past traditions as traditions will represent sites of resistance to the process of colonisation that is one of the most dominant traditions in the industrialised west.”

LGBTQ
Space of resistance has appeared in usage by queer people of colour as the community faces discrimination and placed on the margins of society. Entertainment owners have created physical spaces such as clubs and meeting spots as “strategies for survival in the face of hate.” The feeling of neglect is felt amongst the community as they experience harassment from their day-to-day lives, causing personal traumas because of their uniqueness to the norms of society.

Co-owner of Maracuyeah, and Co-founder of Cutn Paste, host parties to provide a space of resistance. The parties are hosted at discreet places and generally through word of mouth to enhance protection especially in a rise of attacks in gay bars. The events are curated and organised to serve as a shield for members of the queer community as a shield from their daily attacks where individuals are bonded like a thread through music.

Parties
Maracuyeah located in Washington, DC, founded by Kristy la aRT is a party that showcases “latinx, queer, femme, POC, trans, immigrant, and gender non-conforming identities and art.” In the same city, Cutn Paste, founded by Precolumbian, is the “city’s biggest queer dance party.” Both events are hosted for Latinx, queer, questioning and trans people of colour (QTPOC). The two founders are friends and share the same Peruvian roots. Motivated by the lack of spaces welcomed to queer individuals, they invented their own. Precolumbian describes these spaces as an escape to the harassment the community receives during the daytime to a place where their identities are celebrated and appreciated.

Both Kristy la rAT and Columbian relate the mistreatment and the horrible attacks that have occurred in LGBTQ nightclubs to “economic violence and symbolic violence. La rAT says its due to the representation of worthlessness of the community that has incurred the ideologies to treat the community badly. Columbian then addresses straight people for self-education and mindful of their attitudes. Their events promote partner-dancing where both founders feel are important to the human healing for these oppressed individuals of this community.

Reggae
Reggae is regarded as a space of resistance as the producers of such music struggle bondage from racial discrimination to personal troubles. Enslavement is described both externally and internally from emotional difficulties to a real-world social norm one adheres to such as the way of speech and style. Reggae also acts as a liberation from the illusion of western entertainment, as well as a force to relieve the lives of those who are suppressed and to enlighten those who are unaware of the inequalities. An artist describes reggae as “one of the few genres in pop music that has a way of liberating people in a different level of consciousness, with yourself, the world, and because it’s coming from a black perspective its conscious about the black life, black reality, black consciousness in a global context.” Reggae is then described as a way of life, “we grow up in different kinds of music. Rebellion means being, in the midst of all kinds of music we combine every song to this heartbeat, this is why reggae music connects the heart. A reference to Rastafari is made to address it as the bedrock to reggae as it provides a platform for redemption.

In describing an internal and external bondage, “the essence of reggae music is freedom. we’re all in bondages in some way, to dress a certain way, to comb our hair. you can be slaves to something externally and eternally, true freedom is freedom from inner bondage, physical reality is not the ultimate reality, there is a universe within yourself. freedom is when you are free from negative impulses within yourself. the impulse to want to take all the attention. ego is your inner self.”

Music through parties is also described as a site of resistance as owners use this medium to unite queer individuals of colour in a town lacking queer-specific nightclubs and events.

Web
With the internet becoming a tool for contribution and participation, blog sites and forums allow individuals to express particular protests on subjects. For example, Blogging Feminism: Web(sites) of Resistance is an online blog of "journal of feminist theories and women's movements, through the publication of Barnard Centre for Research on Women at Columbia University. Although it is outdated, the last published issue being spring 2007, it has wide-ranging topics such as gender inequality in television and woman's rights.

Academia
In the book, The Third Space as a Critical Engagement, author Paul Routledge stresses the importance of a third space representing the negotiation between academia and activism. In a section devoted to “Academia as a Site of Resistance,” he promotes the new perspective of viewing the academy as space of scholars representing different disciplines from an amalgam of geographical backgrounds rather than a “monolithic institution.” He quotes bell hooks in arguing the intertwining of teaching and possibility of political action which engages in acts of resistance through critical pedagogies.

Following this idea, Routledge also writes to argue academia serves as a site to study past political and social struggles for the act of constructive criticism. He raises the issue of academia already seen as a source of power of knowledge and a site for elitists. He proposes the closure of this gap through the third space, with the example of using “time and place of the academy for solidarity work that is free, creative, and not directed at profit.”

Literature
Author Edouard Louis was interviewed by a reporter on Literary Hub on his new book, The End of Eddy. The title of the article is called, “Éduoard Louis on Class, Violence, And Literature as a Space of Resistance.” In this interview, it is understood Louis’ interpretation of literature as a space of resistance through his life experiences and his outlook on the world. Louis sees the world filled with fiction, he gives an explanation to this describing his family as one to be ashamed of its own economic status, therefore their wants to be viewed invisible. He further explained he wanted to engage in literature as a medium for others to know his story rather than reading and watching stories of others on television and newspapers. He viewed literature as a space of truth, also.

Louis wrote about his struggles throughout childhood dealing with his sexuality, speech, and intended to fill his book with the anger for violence, domination, and exclusion. His parents were upset when they found out Louis had disclosed all information about their lives, including their poorness. Louis said literature reminded them of their place in the world. To Louis, literature was an expression of resistance as he provides full honesty to what would otherwise be suppressed by the people of his town and family in Northern France.

National Museum of African American History
In a Huffington Post, writer Lance Hosey titles the article, “The Space of Resistance.” He describes the subject of the piece, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, as an example of a site of resistance in architectural forms The piece begins with the idea of political myths, illustrating the dramatisation of historical events of governments to maintain their status of the authority and their status quo. Hosey provides an example of this through the founding fathers of the United States, often portrayed as symbols of “universal freedom and equality,” yet forgetting complexities of socioeconomic forces.

As the phrase, “political construction,” coined by Hosey serves as an “attention to a social or political grievance,” the NMAAHC stands as a rare example of a permanent, formal structure that showcases many traits of political construction. The architecture of the building is much inspired and made with African ties. Max Bond, who was a designer on the team, selected many materials that have association with African American labour. He writes this idea of material justice in which can also be used in reverse to avoid selecting materials that have such historic ties. Other references apparent in the architecture include the resemblance of an African headdress to the tier-shaped design of the building, as well as the Corona signifying both slavery and independence. This site honours significant thought-leaders as hooks' words were projected onto a wall at the museum that writes, "people resist by telling their story.” Whilst, President Obama has described the museum, a place “to understand how protest and love of country don’t merely coexist but inform each other.”

Aboriginal Tent Embassy
In 2015, the Australian government gave threats to close aboriginal communities in Western Australia caused by funding cuts in the government. A protest was formed and individuals charged to the parliament carrying pieces signifying aboriginal roots. The aboriginal community has suffered oppression socially and economically through displacement of the individuals in this population. The inclusion of urban areas was executed through assimilation and is continuing today as well. In 2015, the federal government of Australia announced a $534 million cut towards Indigenous programs for the following five years. It has also forced communities to leave their remote places to relocate to larger places.

The Aboriginal tent embassy has been regarded as a space of resistance because of its defiance against aboriginal oppression and dehumanising violence from colonialism. The “states’ attempts to appropriate and configure particular lands are challenged by opposing forces that seek to re-appropriate them and to create alternative counter spaces.” One of the most obvious examples of this statement is the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, it was built in front of the parliament to represent the displaced nations, and the placement of this embassy was a symbol of the nation’s feeling of alienation in their own homes. However, this space has become a location for the people of the same community to convene and provide support for each other, space where they have control. It writes, “remote homelands facing closure today are not just spaces of continued colonial violence, but also spaces of resistance and struggle against assimilation and dispossession.”

Courtroom
The courtroom has been reimagined as a space of resistance because of the famous event of the life sentence to Nelson Mandela in 1964. In the book written by Awol Allo, The Courtroom as a Space of Resistance reflects Mandela’s statement before the Justice de Wet in Pretoria's Palace of Justice. The author uses this to addresses the resetting of the margins as the site of visibility and hearing. Mandela’s became a symbolic meaning to the courtroom. He “used the law as his sword and shied…he invokes it while undermining it, uses it while subverting it, and claims it while defeating it. Wise and strategic, Mandela skilfully reimagines the courtroom as a site of visibility and hearing, opening up a political space within the legal.”

The trial showcased the insurable indignation of black people and the laws and legal institutions that permits this ideology. This book that reflects on the impact of the Rivonia trial describes resistance as a “counter-conduct against the modalities of power that constitutes and regulates the subject.” Contributors to the book promote the idea of unlimited space of resistance, from streets, classrooms, and even courtrooms. All also argues resistance to always involve the speciality of discourse and locations. Mandela used this space to confront the state and address issues Robin Island where Mandela and numerous other prisoners were held. The event placed the “defendant to filter stories of oppression and indignation into court of public opinion.”

Trafalgar square
On Monday, February 8, 1886, a riot occurred in London. The London United Workmen's Committee and H.F. Hyndman's revolutionary Social Democratic Federation held a public meeting at the same time at Trafalgar Square. Though it was warned the two leftist organisations may crash, no precautions were made by the authority. While the meetings were completed with no disturbance, a riot of five thousand who were present was ensued along “Pall Mall, St James's, and Piccadilly throwing stones, smashing club windows, looting shops, robbing occupants of carriages, and terrorising people.” On Sunday, November 13, 1887, a riot occurred at the same location again with ten-thousand protestors fighting against the Metropolitan Police and British Army for unemployment of the poor. Because of these events, these incidents have been named, Black Monday and Bloody Sunday. Between 1886 and 1887, the square has been recognised as a rallying point for social change caused by economic injustices. Although past commissioner of London, Sir Charles Warren prohibited meetings to be held because of these two events, it has been revoked since then and Trafalgar Square has been recognised as “a centre of national democracy and protest.” Mayor of London praises the rallies and demonstrations held at weekends for political, religious and general issues and supports this democratic tradition, and gives access to the square for such causes.

Liberation Square
Midan al-Tahrir, also known as Liberation Square in central Cairo of Egypt, is known to be a place for resistance as protestors often converge to protest “unemployment, poverty, corruption, police brutality, election fraud, and political stagnation.” Between the end of January and beginning of February of 2011, two million civilians of different economic statuses and geographical locations converged to impeach the then sitting leader, President Mubarak. Midan al-Tahrir has also endured several protests such as the 1977 bread riots, in which civilians of the country protested President Sadat’s increase of prices for basic necessities. In 2003, the people came together again to protest against the war in Iraq. The Liberation Square situates in a populated location with major transportation stations that connect different parts of Cairo, proximity with significant national, political, and educational institutions. It is also nearby famous restaurants, hotels, and stores. It is recognised as a location where citizens of varying backgrounds can commence, representing a “blending between the old and new, the West and East, and the national and the global, as well as the mixing of different genders, classes, and religious groups.”

Talk:Carl Gombrich

General Notability Guidelines
I have added details and reviews of Gombrich's opera performances from cultural reviews for notability as an Opera singer, such as the Independant and Opera Today.

I have also added sources explaining his role in the founding of a University College London Department and the London Interdisciplinary School from the Guardian, Evening Standard, New York Times and International Herald Tribune. The articles focus on the topic of interdisciplinary education or the founded univeristy, and mention Gombrich for his contributions in founding one of the first interdisciplinary programs in the UK, as well as co-founding and being Academic Lead in the first interdisicplinary education university in the UK. The articles are not generally focused on him, but the topic of his work, as it generally is for people notable in academia, so this might be an issue for GNG.

However, due to the number of independant and reputable sources covering his contributions to education and opera, I consider these sources to be notable enough to meet the GNG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artemis-red97 (talk • contribs) 18:48, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Sensationalism
I've removed the section about Gombrich's heroes, as that read as sensationalist. If no other elements of sensationalism are detected, I will remove the label in a week.
