During the COVID-19 emergency, people around the world are debating concepts like physical distancing, lockdown, and sheltering in place. The ethical significance of proximity-that is, closeness or farness as ethical qualities of relations (Strathern 2020)-is thus being newly troubled across a range of habits, practices, and personal relationships. Through five case studies from Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States, contributors to this Colloquy shed light on what the hype of the pandemic often conceals: the forms of ethical reflection, reasoning, and conduct fashioned during the pandemic.

The story of David Ferrier's demonstration at the International Medical Congress in London in August 1881 of a monkey experimentally rendered hemiplegic by a focal surgical brain lesion-prompting Charcot's observation, "C'est un malade!"-is well known as a seminal event in the history of the localization of functions in the cerebral cortex. Less well known is the fact that, on the same occasion, Ferrier demonstrated a second monkey, known as monkey F, apparently deaf as a consequence of bilateral temporo-sphenoidal brain lesions. The purpose of this article is, first, to give a chronological account of this demonstration and subsequent related events, including Ferrier's trial under the Vivisection Act, the publication of the pathological findings in the animal's brain, the dispute about the localization of the "auditory centre" with Edward Schäfer, and the first glimmerings of human homologues of cortical deafness.

Objectif: Le myélome multiple est un cancer hématologique incurable. Pour alléger la souffrance, il est possible d'employer une approche palliative en conjonction avec un traitement curatif, mais cette approche est sous-utilisée chez les patients en hémato-oncologie. L'objectif de la présente étude est d'examiner l'expérience des personnes atteintes d'un myélome multiple qui reçoivent un traitement palliatif dans le cadre de leurs soins, et de comprendre comment ils perçoivent cette approche.

Background: Non-invasive methods to estimate core body temperature (T) are increasingly available. We examined the group-level and individual participant-level validity of the Estimated Core Temperature (ECTemp™) algorithm to estimate T based on sequential heart rate (HR) measurements during real-world prolonged walking exercise in warm ambient conditions.

Methods: Participants walked 30 (n = 3), 40 (n = 13) or 50 (n = 2) km on a self-selected pace during which T was measured every minute using an ingestible temperature capsule.
