Malta, Gozo and Comino, the Thrinacia of Homer and the Melitē, Phoebe and Lampas of Scylax, form an archipelago in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea inhabited by both Phoenicians and Greeks before the coming of the Romans to those islands. Many geographers mention them, but other authors refer to their importance as places of production of textiles and other natural goods like oil and honey. Of particular importance was the site of the temple of Juno and Hercules known to Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans as well as to Numidians. Malta and Gozo were also praised for their good harbors and stone. The Grand Harbour itself served as an important Byzantine base with its tower and inner harbour, both places bearing Greek names. Malta was converted to Christianity in AD 60 following St Paul’s shipwreck there, where he spent three winter months. The aim of this article is to scrutinize the information about Malta and Gozo in numerous Greek, Roman and Christian sources.

In February 2013 Malta's new national Curriculum, entitled 'A New National Framework for All' was launched. It was the end result of almost three years of meetings, debates, discussions, consolations and draft documents. This paper first gives a brief description of the historical background of Curricula in Malta, all of which eventually lead up to the present one, and then goes on to discuss specifically history in Maltese Curricula. Today it is no exaggeration to say that, of all school subjects history is the one which has undergone the most radical transformation as far as its pedagogy is concerned. History teaching in Malta now focuses on the learning of specific history skills and concepts, and analyses and interpretation of primary and secondary sources. However, history does not have a high status in the Maltese educational system and there were clear intentions in the initial stages of the creation of the new curriculum to eliminate the subject. This paper describes the advances in history pedagogy experienced in Malta in the past 20 years and the endeavours of the writer to retain history as a separate academic subject in the new curriculum.

International retirement migration (IRM) is attracting increasing research interest. This article reports findings from an exploratory case study of 16 older people who havemoved from theUKto grow older in Malta. Data was collected using in-depth interviews drawing on a life history approach. This article builds on previous research in the IRM field by providing detailed examples of the push and pull factors influencing the decision to move to Malta and the reported positive experiences of living in Malta. The article also discusses negative impressions of life in Malta, an issue that has not been previously documented in relation to Malta. Future difficulties that the immigrants may encounter are also considered. This article contributes to the growing body of knowledge concerning the experience of IRM.

The history of psychiatry in Malta dates back to the 16th century. In the early 1990s, a detailed account of psychiatry in Malta documented the drive from institutional psychiatry to community psychiatry and outlined the difficulties with subspecialisation, staffing and training. Malta has since set up five community mental health teams, introduced new mental health legislation and introduced full postgraduate psychiatry specialisation. Work is continuing towards improvement of the country's mental health services and towards reducing the stigma associated with mental illness.

AbstractBetween 1530 and 1798, Malta, the southernmost tip of Catholic Europe, was home to the military-religious Order of St John (of Malta). This organization traced its origins to the years just before the beginning of the crusades in late eleventh-century Palestine. From Malta, the Order sought to keep up its dual mission of hospitality (hence the appellative of hospitallers) and fighting the infidel Muslim at sea. From 1592 to 1768 the Society of Jesus was present in this Catholic outpost from where it supported the mission of the Order and sought to remould hospitaller piety. The relationship between these two organizations had ramifications that spread beyond tiny Malta, both because of the issues that arose between them, as well as because of the international composition of the Order and the Society. The Carnival of 1639 proved to be a defining moment in this relationship; though generally passed over as a ‘temporary disturbance’ this article emphasizes that it was more than this by looking at the dynamics of the links between hospitallers, Jesuits, the Inquisition, and Carnival. This article is based on a wider range of sources than previous studies, which will help to bring out the nuances of the subject under investigation.

AbstractThe conventional view is that Malta has been on the ‘forgotten frontier’ of Christian maritime resistance to Islamic expansionism since the Islamic invasions of North Africa in the seventh century. The limited archival and archeological evidence suggests that, up to the arrival of the Order of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem in Malta in 1530, this picture is not accurate. The Islamic occupation of the Maltese archipelago in 870 created a cosmopolitan Muslim society which persisted until the mid-thirteenth century, despite the Norman conquest of the region in 1090. Indeed, the formal end of Muslim society in Malta only came in 1224, as a side-result of the Hohenstauffen suppression of a Muslim rebellion in Sicily.Even under the Order of St John contacts with the Muslim world were far closer than is conventionally supposed. The Grand Master of the Order maintained close contacts with the Qaramanlis in Tripoli and the Beys of Tunis during the eighteenth century, despite the continuation of the corso. In reality, contacts had always existed and had been recognised as essential by the Holy See because Malta could not sustain its population once it had exceeded 10,000 persons. Sicily, the obvious source of supply, often exerted undesirable political pressure and the Barbary coast was the only other alternative. The main legacy of the close contacts between Malta and the North African Muslim world, however, is to be found, even today, in the Maltese language, which is really a Medieval variant of North African Arabic.

Cette thèse étudie la dynamique de la végétation Holocène pour Burmarrad dans le NW Malte et fournit une reconstruction paléoclimatique quantitative à base de pollen pour cet archipel méditerranéen situé au centre. Le record de pollen donne un nouvel aperçu l'échange végétation 7280-1730 cal BP qui correspondent bien avec other régional dossiers. La reconstruction du climat fournit également forte corrélation avec les sites du sud (en dessous de 40oN) de la Méditerranée. L'interprétation suggère un paysage initialement ouvert au début du néolithique, se développer en un dense Pistacia brousse ca. 6700 calBP. Depuis environ 4450 calBP le paysage devient de nouveau ouvert, coïncidant avec le début de l'âge du bronze sur l'archipel. Cette période coïncide avec une instabilité accrue du climat (entre 4500 et 3700 calBP) qui est suivie par une diminution progressive de la disponibilité de l'humidité de l'été à la fin de l'Holocène. Durant la période romaine début de l'occupation (1972-1730 calBP) le paysage reste généralement ouvert avec une augmentation modérée de Olea. Cette augmentation correspond à des preuves archéologiques pour la production de l'huile d'olive dans la région, avec l'augmentation des taxons cultivés des cultures et des espèces rudérales associés, ainsi que d'une hausse des cas d'incendies. Cette thèse propose également une synthèse des résultats d'un autre noyau (BM1) provenant de la même zone de chalandise, ainsi que les résultats d'une étude préliminaire de la pluie de pollen de surface moderne. L'archipel fournit des indications sur la végétation, les impacts humains et les changements climatiques dans un contexte de l'île au cours de l'HolocèneThis thesis investigates the Holocene vegetation dynamics for Burmarrad in north-west Malta and provides a pollen-based quantitative palaeoclimatic reconstruction for this centrally located Mediterranean archipelago. The pollen record from this site provides new insight into the vegetation changes from 7280 to 1730 cal BP which correspond well with other regional records. The climate reconstruction for the area also provides strong correlation with southern (below 40oN) Mediterranean sites. The interpretation suggests an initially open landscape during the early Neolithic, surrounding a large palaeobay, developing into a dense Pistacia scrubland ca. 6700 cal BP. From about 4450 cal BP the landscape once again becomes open, coinciding with the start of the Bronze Age on the archipelago. This period is concurrent with increased climatic instability (between 4500 and 3700 cal BP) which is followed by a gradual decrease in summer moisture availability in the late Holocene. During the early Roman occupation period (1972 to 1730 cal BP) the landscape remains generally open with a moderate increase in Olea. This increase corresponds to archaeological evidence for olive oil production in the area, along with increases in cultivated crop taxa and associated ruderal species, as well as a rise in fire events. This thesis also provides a synthesis with the results from another core (BM1) taken from the same catchment area, as well as results of a preliminary modern surface pollen rain study. The Maltese archipelago provides important insight into vegetation, human impacts and climatic changes in an island context during the Holocene

A presente dissertação busca aproximar memória e fotografia, bem como o ato de fotografar do ato de historiar. A partir daí, se volta para a proposta específica de analisar um grupo de fotografias que Augusto Malta fez das ruas da cidade do Rio de Janeiro no início do século XX. Já no século XIX foi atribuída aos fotógrafos a função de registradores de um mundo que se dissipava e de outro que se anunciava. Esses profissionais eram contratados como os responsáveis por guardarem as imagens que se transformavam rapidamente, especialmente nas cidades. Tratava-se de um desejo de construir um álbum que conservasse a memória do antes, do durante e do depois, e que servisse de registro confiável das mudanças promovidas. Esta é a função que Augusto César Malta de Campos assumiu na prefeitura da cidade-capital, comandada por Francisco Pereira Passos. É através desse caminho que se busca analisar a fotografia como artifício capaz de inventariar as transformações da cidade, uma representação fiel do mundo visível. Assim, as imagens dos Kiosques, dentre outras tantas, se tornaram instrumentos com valor de prova a serviço de um projeto modernizador da cidade-capital, numa íntima relação com a mobilização nacional em torno de uma identidade moderna que se forjava naquele tempo.
This work tries to approximate memory and photography, and at the same time the act of make photography and act of writing history. Then the work persecutes the propose of analyze a group of four photos that Augusto Malta made in the streets of Rio de Janeiro in the beginning of the 20th century. In the 19th century was given to the photographers the function of recorders of a world passing through many changes. Those professionals were hired as the responsibles to keep the images that were changing quickly, especially in the cities. There was a desire to build an album dedicated to the memory of times, and prove of the changes in the world. This was the work that Augusto Malta did for the mayor Pereira Passos. Through this way the photography is analyzed as a faithful representation of the visible world. The Kiosque s images became a prove to the project of modernization of the city, in a relation to the national mobilization around a modern identity.

Full textAbstract:
This work traces the Maltese Islands' forest history. In prehistoric time the flora changed accordingly to climatic oscillations. The first people of Malta were Neolithic. Their forest clearance and the drying up of the climate led to population collapse. After a period of time, the forest may have recovered allowing colonisation by a Bronze Age people. The Classical Era where Malta's vegetation was changed and arable agriculture prevailed following this. Olive industry finds dating from the Roman period reveal that olive cultivation was widespread. The Arab period saw the depopulation of the Islands allowing forest recovery to take place. The medieval period saw large areas turned to pasture. Grazing reduced the forest to much garrigue-steppe. Later land enclosure for arable agriculture prepared the way for Malta's traditional landscape with cotton cultivation becoming predominant. During the Knights of St. John period (1530-1798), Buskett and other gardens were established. Documentation reveals the survival of holm oak remnants at Buskett and Wied Hazrum. Drawings of the time depict trees near buildings. There also exists a mid-17th century description of Gozo's vegetation and a tree name list from the 18th century. In the mid-18th century a project for the widespread cultivation of white mulberries was made. In 1798 the French occupation began, although soon the Maltese rebelled. The revolt lasted two years, during which many gardens were devastated. Reconstruction took up most of the 19th century. Agricultural expansion left little space for trees in the landscape, creating a treelessness paradigm in the people's culture, although 20th century tree planting is changing this thus Malta is becoming greener.

Full textAbstract:
The research examined the curriculum history of Home Economics and Textiles Studies in Malta. Although some studies on the history of Home Economics were carried out internationally, none had yet focused on the Maltese context which presents an interesting and unique case, the islands being a former British colony with a Catholic Mediterranean culture. This study, conducted from an insider perspective, focused on the development of the micro and macro level of the curriculum of both subjects over a span of fifty years, during which many changes occurred in the Maltese social, political and economic scene. These changes, in turn, had an impact on the local educational system, which was influenced by foreign models. The study adopted a social constructionist perspective towards the development of Home Economics and Textiles Studies, whereby it identified the influences that were most significant, and changes that took place over that particular span of time. The academic, utilitarian and pedagogical traditions were also analysed in relation to the change in status of the Home Economic and Textiles Studies curriculum. This multi-dimensional study included life-history narratives with key individuals who played an important role in the field, semi-structured interviews with various individuals who had a link with the learning or teaching of the subjects, focus group discussions with a group of young teachers, and archival research which shed further light on what led to the changes that occurred in the curriculum over time. The findings revealed that a number of factors led to the current status of the subjects. These included the relationship between patterns of status and resource allocation, the challenges posed by other subjects, the gendered nature of the subjects, the issues regarding name change, the development of the curriculum and role of examinations, and the career prospects of those involved in the learning and teaching of Home Economics and Textiles Studies. The research showed how and to what extent the socio-economic, political and cultural changes the Maltese islands experienced in the period under study affected both the curriculum and the subjects’ community. The study also revealed that the curricula of Home Economics and Textiles Studies developed and evolved according to these various influences, which in turn had a considerable effect on their status and significance, as the subjects have traditionally been considered marginal. The analysis highlighted the impact that various government policies had on the subjects and on the teachers’ lives and experiences, as well as the influence it had on their beliefs and ideals.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an investigation of Roman pottery from the Maltese islands from the 1st century BC to the mid-4th century AD, and how pottery can help assess Malta's economic role in the wider central Mediterranean region. The archipelago's locally produced vessels, its range of ceramic exports, and the quantification of the types of amphorae, fine, and cooking wares the islands imported, were studied and the data were used to compare with the pottery available from the small islands of Pantelleria, Lampedusa and the Kerkennah isles. The aim is to revisit the theme of the economic role of the Maltese islands and other similar-sized islands in the region by moving away from the tradition of unilateral and monographic narratives, which more often than not, omit the wealth of information that can be garnered from pottery. In the first instance, a detailed study of three complete and new ceramic assemblages, including amphorae, fine, cooking and coarse wares, was undertaken. The opportunity to quantify identifiable imports and compare them with local products - the first of its kind for fine, cooking and coarse wares - provided valuable proxy data for comparing Malta with neighbouring islands and centres, and demonstrated what proportion of ceramic vessels were locally supplied, and how these changed over time. These data were also fed into a series of network analyses, which plotted the common pottery links shared between small-island and mainland sites in the region. The analyses were interpreted in conjunction with a critique of existing pottery quantification methods, and the potential acceptance for utilising all known pottery data irrespective of the quality and quantity of the published data available. Most importantly, the import trends obtained from this study were incorporated into the existing narrative of how small islands and their local industries featured in the central Mediterranean's regional economy, highlighting the types of archaeologically visible industries that existed; how these developed symbiotically alongside other larger supply networks; and what effect this might have had on the integration of small islands in the Roman Mediterranean.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed at describing how the nursing profession in Malta changed between 1964 and 1996 emerging as a profession a result of circumstances and changes within and without. Change appears to have been imposed from outside the profession but Maltese nurses did not react to changes whether it was to their benefit or not. Meanwhile, the cumulative effect of various factors such as demographical changes, educational status and political decisions initiated the process of professionalisation of nursing in Malta. Source materials included archival sources and oral history interviews with twenty four interviewees consisting of nurses and other persons who were influential during the time, including politicians. These were analysed in order to produce a narrative of professionalisation of nursing in Malta. This is the first indepth study on the subject. The chosen period under study begins in 1964, the year Malta gained independence and ends in 1996, the year when the post of Nursing Director was established, thus allowing nurses a relative autonomy. Nurses were initially led by the Sisters of Charity who supervised them. Changes in the demographics of nursing, the type of preparation needed for it and the management system together with political decisions that often followed similar ones taken abroad, affected Maltese nurses. The official opening of the St Luke's School for Nurses and the introduction of nurse education at tertiary level were significant markers in the process of professionalisation. The thesis presents an insight into how Maltese nurses did not show much eagerness to reach professionalisation but were still propelled towards it by changes occurring extrinsically and then intrinsically. This is perhaps unique since nurses in other countries had nurse leaders who actively worked to reach professionalisation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the macro-economic history of Cyprus and Malta in the inter-war period. It constructs the first detailed estimates of output at aggregate and sector levels, enabling the analysis of economic growth and the sector structure of the islands‟ economies. It evaluates their performance within the context of economic change on Europe‟s South Eastern periphery and, specifically, in light of the experience of British colonial rule. The thesis argues, first, that economic growth was slow in wider European comparison and as sluggish as in neighbouring countries. It was so despite the two islands' being far less exposed to the political upheavals of the First World War than most other economies in South Eastern Europe. Second, the proximate reasons for their comparatively weak growth performance differed: Cyprus experienced a prolonged agricultural crisis, but participated in the post-depression recovery through the growth in international demand for the output of its copper mining industry. Malta‟s growth was slower than Cyprus due to the combination of declining British military expenditure and the population increasing faster than previously. These differences notwithstanding, the islands were ultimately affected by common problems. Their small overall size had a negative effect on their performance as global protectionism increased and restricted export opportunities. In addition, the colonial governments remained committed to balanced budgets and non-intervention in the economy, limiting their ability to combat the effects of the great depression. As a result, the deteriorating economic situation increased the political tension between the islanders and the colonial governments. The reluctance to mount an effective policy response to the great depression acted as a catalyst to political polarization, leading to violence and the suspension of the islands‟ constitutions.

Full textAbstract:
Located approximately in the middle of the central Mediterranean channel, the Maltese Archipelago was touched by the historical events that effected the political, economic and cultural environment of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. The islands were close to the major maritime routes throughout history and they were often on the border between clashing military, political, religious, and cultural entities. For these reasons, the islands were presumed to have been strategically and economically important, and, thus, frequented by ships. An underwater archaeological survey around the archipelago revealed the scarcity of submerged cultural remains, especially pertaining to shipping and navigation. Preliminary findings elucidate a story that contrasts with the picture presented by modern history and historiography. In this sense, a comparison of the underwater archaeological data with the information gathered through a detailed study of Maltese maritime history clearly shows that the islands were attributed an exaggerated importance in historical texts, due to political and religious trends that are rooted in the period during which the islands were under the control of the Order of Saint John. An objective investigation of the historical and archaeological material provides a more balanced picture, and places the islands in a Mediterranean-wide historical framework from the first colonization of the archipelago eight thousands years ago to the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
In 1806, the British protectorate of Malta was engulfed in political scandal when accusations of ‘despotism’, ‘tyranny’ and ‘torture’, were made against the island’s Civil Commissioner, Sir Alexander Ball. This episode, alongside other contemporary colonial controversies, has recently attracted attention as a starting point for histories charting British attempts to construct a coherent imperial legal system across the first half of the nineteenth century. Rather than viewing the events at Malta in 1806 as the beginnings of a nineteenth-century story, this thesis however argues for the need to understand them as the culmination of a longer eighteenth-century saga. Applying a biographical lens, this thesis traces the Mediterranean career of William Eton, the minor colonial official who was chiefly responsible for the accusations made at Malta. As this thesis argues, ostensibly marginal figures such as Eton make particularly useful subjects for such an approach due to the fact that their life stories do not fit neatly into existing historical narratives, and thus cut across and connect supposedly distinct historical processes. Through Eton, this thesis connects the political scandal at Malta in 1806 to the intellectual and cultural circles of the North-German Enlightenment, to London networks of metropolitan political radicalism in the 1790s, as well as to the secret diplomacy, espionage, and foreign policy endeavours of the British and Russian empires in the Mediterranean in the late-eighteenth century. By piecing together the fragmentary traces of Eton’s transient career, with his diverse networks and multi-layered sociability, as well as his many endeavours to succeed, this thesis therefore provides a clear insight into just how interconnected British and Mediterranean trade was with diplomacy, politics, and the social and intellectual currents of European life during the ‘Age of Revolutions,’ as well as the lasting impacts these connections had on shaping British imperial governance at Malta.

AbstractThis chapter analyzes literary advice culture from a transnational-comparative perspective. It sheds light on the reception of the American poetics of creative writing in contemporary France by examining the specific case of Outils du roman: Avec Malt Olbren sur les pistes et exercices du creative writing à l’américaine (2016, Tools of the Novel. Exploring American Creative Writing with Malt Olbren) by the experimental prose-writer François Bon. This text represents a broader dynamic in which French authors of literary advice resort to a repertoire of American writing techniques in an attempt to revive French literature. To conceptualize this process of transfer, I use Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of “minor literature.” This notion conveys how literary advice in France must constantly position itself vis-à-vis its American counterpart, but also how it appropriates and transforms this same body of ideas and techniques. More generally, this chapter makes a case for an increased consideration of supranational transfers in the domain of literary advice when studying processes of local literary change.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores works that engage with the art and science of taxidermy and the construction of dioramas for museums of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. While many artists have rejected taxidermy, given its association with cruelty toward animals, some have reclaimed the practice with the purpose of drawing attention to histories of animal objectification or rethinking human/animal relations. Recent recourses to taxidermy among Latin American artists have provided an opportunity to question of the exhibition practices of natural history museums, while exploring alternative ways of thinking about ecology and the environment. The projects I discuss in this chapter by Daniel Malva (Brazil), Adriana Bustos (Argentina), Rodrigo Arteaga (Chile), Walmor Corrêa (Brazil), and Pablo La Padula (Argentina) remediate, recycle or reuse taxidermy animals within new forms of diorama that construct a critical dialogue with Eurocentric conceptions of nature. They create “afterlives” for taxidermy animals that are held in tension between nature and culture or science and popular myth; they also demonstrate how taxidermy may—paradoxically—be deployed to restore animal agency and to create narratives that are less anthropocentric.

AbstractThis study presents the evaluation results of the “ATANA” research program, which focuses on a platform that integrates the creation and management of narratives associated with cultural tourism applications. Considering the objectives of this study and the target audience, the proposed method could be beneficial to museums and cultural institutions by providing interactive tours and enhancing the overall visitor experience. Additionally, it can be advantageous for cultural tourism stakeholders and local businesses in the surrounding areas as it may attract more tourists and increase footfall. The platform leverages augmented reality and narrative techniques within an ambient-intelligence environment that encompasses a museum and its surrounding landmarks. The case study pertains to the Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology (MAET), an institution with a continuous presence for 25 years, represented through a network of museums on the same theme located in Ancient Olympia and Athens, and an exhibition in which the organisation has participated in Malta. The methodology employed leverages the principles of ambient intelligence, enabling tourists to traverse the historic centre of Athens or the archaeological site of the Olympia, and to explore ancient Greek technological inventions through a mobile application supporting augmented reality. The proposed approach also supported the participation of MAET in an exhibition in Malta by projecting a variety of 3D inventions presented in MAET museums through augmented reality.

Abstract This chapter assesses the social protection policies enacted by the Maltese government to support Maltese citizens living abroad. First, the current status of the Maltese diaspora and their engagement with the homeland is contextualized, and key infrastructure and policies outlined. In the Maltese legal system, there is no domestic law granting the right to consular or diplomatic protection, however this is offered as a matter of practice based on respect for the fundamental rights of the individual. The strength of historic ties with the destination countries of Maltese emigrants is mainly reflected in the number of Reciprocal Agreements signed between Malta and partner countries. An overview of these formal treaties and their assured benefits is provided. Thereafter, five areas of concern for the social security needs of Maltese diaspora are addressed: unemployment, healthcare, pensions, family-related benefits, and economic hardship. The chapter concludes by acknowledging the communication initiatives between the Maltese government and its citizens abroad; however, it recognises that there is still a long way to go in terms of ensuring democratic participation of citizens in elections. Throughout, the evidence has been compiled primarily as a result of consultation with primary source material, as well as interviews with a range of experts within relevant Maltese governmental bodies.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID - 19 pandemic that swept the world in 2020 and the reactions of state authorities to it are unparalleled events in modern history. In order to protect public health, states have limited a number of fundamental human rights that individuals have in accordance with national constitutions and international conventions. The focus of this paper is the right of access to abortion in the Member States of the European Union. In Europe, the situation with regard to the recognition of women's right to abortion is quite clear. All member states of the European Union, with the exception of Poland and Malta, recognize the rather liberal right of a woman to have an abortion in a certain period of time after conception. However, Malta and Poland, as members of the European Union, since abortion is seen as a service, must not hinder the travel of women abroad to have an abortion, nor restrict information on the provision of abortion services in other countries. In 2020, a pandemic highlighted all the weaknesses of this regime by preventing women from traveling to more liberal countries to perform abortions, thus calling into question their right to choose and protect their sexual and reproductive rights. This is not only the case in Poland and Malta, but also in countries that recognize the right to abortion but make it conditional on certain non-medical conditions, such as compulsory counselling; and the mandatory time period between applying for and performing an abortion; in situations present in certain countries where the problem of a woman exercising the right to abortion is a large number of doctors who do not provide this service based on their right to conscience. The paper is divided into three parts. The aim of the first part of the paper is to consider all the legal difficulties that women face in accessing abortion during the COVID -19 pandemic, restrictions that affect the protection of their dignity, right to life, privacy and right to equality. In the second part of the paper particular attention will be paid to the illiberal tendencies present in this period in some countries of Central and Eastern Europe, especially Poland. In the third part of the paper, emphasis will be put on the situation in Malta where there is a complete ban on abortion even in the case when the life of a pregnant woman is in danger.

The fortress and its garden: a view from the seaThe Fortress was built from 1554, on the ruins of an ancient convent, at the behest of Philip of Austria, and it was completed in about 55 years under the direction of Giulio Cesare Falco, knight of the Order of Malta and Captain General against the Turks. The maine structure, called Forte a Mare, was joined with the Opera a Corno, a mighty rampart with the function of enclosure of the intermediate island, separated from the other island in 1598 by the construction of the Angevin canal: here were arranged the lodgings of the troops and garrisons. Castello and Forte, were named by the Spaniards Isla Fortalera que abre el Puerto Grande, because of its particular position to protect the port. The complex was entrusted to the Germans in 1715, then conquered by the French Revolutionaries and, in 1815, re-annexed to the Kingdom of Naples and destined to lazaretto. A period of decline follows until the end of the 19th century when Brindisi became a first class naval base and the fort became a garrison of the Royal Navy, destined, during the Great War, to recover torpedoes and detonators The recovery of the complex, starting in the 1980s, allowed the conservation of the structures but was never included in a real valorisation program. With this intervention in progress, a first visit is expected through the visit from the walkways through a circular route from the Castle to the whole Opera in Corno: the itinerary will allow you to retrace the history of the Fortress and enjoy a unique view from the high towards the sea, also through the passage in a curtain of Mediterranean scrub that has colonized the walls over the centuries, creating a veritable hanging garden on the sea. The aim is to lead the visitor to the rediscovery a forgotten place that is closely connected to the coastal landscape, for which it is a privileged point of view also in relation to the city and the port.

Full textAbstract:
Investigación sobre el desarrollo y evolución de un fragmento histórico de una ciudad hispanoamericana, el subdistrito de Analco de la ciudad de Guadalajara, México, de 1542 a 1900.
Su importancia radica en que fue la principal zona productiva y comercial, constituyo grandes accesos, nodos y calles de la ciudad, sus elementos fueron componentes de la estructura a escala territorial de la ciudad, y fue la forma urbanística que soporto el crecimiento urbano exponencial de la ciudad durante el siglo XIX, para gran parte de la población, el proletariado y la clase indígena. Todos estos aspectos formaron parte importante en la construcción de la estructura de la malla actual del fragmento, formada a partir de trozos, trazas y tramas, en 3 momentos y con 3 valores.
Encontrar el significado atrás de las formas urbanas, es un aporte a la cultura de la ciudad. Esta malla no es igualitaria, es una retícula con tres cosas muy distintas, es diversa en la potencia de ciertos elementos de arquitectura y urbanización.
Investigación en la línea del estudio de la historia de la forma de la ciudad, primordialmente estudio la ciudad como estructura espacial y en segundo término como producto de aspectos sociales y económicos. A través de un enfoque en 4 condicionantes, se estudian y analizan características que despliegan una estructura y constituyen una identidad propia. Research on the development and evolution of a fragment of Latin American city, Analco district of the city of Guadalajara, Mexico, from 1542 to 1900.
Its importance lies in that it was the main productive and commercial area, constitute large accesses, nodes and city streets, it was constituted by elements that were components of the structure to territorial scale of the city, Was the urban form that stand the exponential urban growth of the city during the nineteenth century, much of the population, the proletariat and the indigenous class. All these aspects form an important part in building the structure of the current mesh fragment formed from pieces, traces and plots in 3 times and 3 values.
Finding the meaning behind these urban forms, is a contribution to the culture of the city. This mesh is not equal, is a grid with three very different things, is diverse in power of certain elements of architecture and urbanization.
Research line study of the history of the form of the city, primarily study the city as spatial structure and secondly as a product of social and economic aspects. Through a focus on four conditions are studied and analyzed features that display a structure and constitute an identity.

Full textAbstract:
The tower in the tower. Recovery and 3D survey for virtual visits to the Torre Matta in OtrantoOtranto is one of the biggest ancient settlements in the Salento (Puglia), in the easternmost part of the Italian peninsula. This location has always affected the city’s history, which has a stratified system of defence. As a result of the Turkish invasion of 1480, the city was completely destroyed. During the counter-offensive of 1481 the city was reconquered by the Aragonese, who are credited with the reconstruction of the city and its defences, building high walls with circular towers (still visible and well conserved), which housed artillery pieces on the various floors of the casemates. Around the mid sixteenth century the existing defensive structures were enriched with bastions including the imposing pentagonal structure that incorporates the circular tower of the late fifteenth century, the so-called Torre Matta, facing the harbour. As part of recent recovery measures, the enormous room inside the bastion was completely emptied. This entailed removing all the accumulated material which, over the years, had come to fill the entire space. This material obscured the external wall of the fifteenth century tower enclosed within the bastion, of which, at the beginning of the work, only the stone corbels and the blind arches at the top were visible. The material had also prevented access via the only original entrance, on the south-east side, which was on the level of the moat. The stratified deposits to be removed were about 18 m deep, and the operation served to bring to light the entire room and the tower, making it possible for the first time to appreciate the relationship between the walls. To record the geometry of the individual architectural features, a 3D laser scan was performed, integrated with direct surveys. A three-dimensional model was created in order to enable virtual visits and disseminate knowledge of the monument.

Objetivos: Presentación de caso clínico de paciente con trastorno bipolar e infección por VIH, en el que se instaura tratamiento con palmitato de paliperidona de administración trimestral (PDP3M). Revisión bibliográfica del uso de palmitato de paliperidona en pacientes VIH+ Material y métodos: Caso clínico: Varón de 58 años que hace seguimiento en consultas de psiquiatría desde 2009. Antecedentes: - Trastorno bipolar en seguimiento en consultas de psiquiatría, con cinco ingresos previos desde 2014 en fase maniaca o depresiva, con presencia de síntomas psicóticos. - VIH en estadio A3 diagnosticado en 1994. Buen estado viro-inmunológico. En tratamiento con Triumeq 1cp/día. - Cirrosis compensada VHC, G1a. - Uso de sustancias: Consumo activo de tabaco. Consumo esporádico de alcohol. - Historia de consumo de cocaína, anfetaminas y heroína por vía parenteral. Abstinente desde hace 25 años. Mala adherencia al tratamiento, tanto psiquiátrico como antirretroviral, provocada por dichas descompensaciones. Resultados: Desde la introducción de PDP3M se ha logrado una mayor estabilidad psicopatológica así como una mayor adherencia al tratamiento antirretroviral. Según el “Documento de consenso sobre las alteraciones psiquiátricas y psicológicas en adultos y niños con infección por VIH” el tratamiento antipsicótico de elección es la paliperidona por su favorable perfil de interacciones, eficacia y tolerabilidad. Dado que el Trastorno Mental Grave no diagnosticado o inadecuadamente tratado, puede conllevar a una baja calidad de vida, una mala adherencia al tratamiento antirretroviral y una aceleración en la progresión del VIH, es fundamental el screening psicopatológico y una apropiada elección y adherencia al tratamiento psicofarmacológico. Conclusiones: La bibliografía recomienda el uso de paliperidona como fármaco de elección en pacientes VIH+ que presentan sintomatología psicótica. La adherencia al tratamiento es mayor en el tratamiento con PDP3M que en su forma de administración oral. Se requieren más estudios que evalúen el tratamiento antipsicótico en este grupo poblacional.

Full textAbstract:
Ocurre muy a menudo que el tema de los proyectos de investigación artística es el mismo que el de proyectos de investigación en ciencias sociales y humanas. Este es el caso de proyectos relacionados con la memoria y la historia, por ejemplo, en los que los resultados de la investigación se muestran en una exposición. Pero también el de muchos proyectos relacionados con la economía, el género, la comunicación o la política. En muchas ocasiones, visitando exposiciones de investigación artística, o viendo ‘exposiciones’ en el Journal of Artistic Research, uno acaba preguntándose dónde está el arte en esos proyectos, puesto que tal vez los podrían haber realizado historiadores, antropólogos o comunicólogos y haber exhibido sus resultados en un museo de historia, un museo de etnología o un centro cultural, en lugar de un centro artístico. Sin duda, normalmente son auténticas investigaciones, pero ¿dónde está el arte? Una respuesta satisfactoria al problema de dónde se encuentra el arte en la investigación artística hay que buscarla en la diferencia entre una presentación o display informativo y un auténtico dispositivo para la reflexión. Los científicos sociales producen teoría, información y conocimiento fáctico. Los artistas no producen principalmente conocimiento fáctico, sino que crean dispositivos para la generación de conocimientos. Los primeros producen teoría; éstos últimos producen artefactos estéticos. Si se borra completamente esta distinción, el riesgo es tener mala ciencia y/o mal arte, o incluso no tener ni una ni otro. Para construir una argumentación filosófica adecuada a la intuición que acabamos de formular, puede recurrirse a las tesis de Deleuze acerca de los perceptos como el tipo de ideas que los artistas crean, a diferencia de los científicos que crean funciones y de los filósofos que crean conceptos. En la investigación artística, el arte estaría en la presencia de perceptos. http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/ANIAV.2017.4847

Enfatiza-se o caráter documental desses edifícios, que integram o itinerário histórico e paisagístico da cidade, com relações com o urbano que prevalecem pertinentes. Presents the morphological type of the urban gallery inserted in the context of Florianópolis, capital of the state of Santa Catarina, in it’s modernist period. Analyzes the impact of internal and external galleries set on the ground floor of buildings, as well as the relationship between the buildings in the pedestrian scale.
In Florianópolis, the galleries began to be built from the 1940s powered by urban and modernizing state interventions, a way to reflect an innovative image for a city with slow development.
We present seven buildings as a case study, forming an itinerary with galleries that merge the traditional urban fabric, offering renovation to the dynamics of the city, creating interface between the public and the private and producing new relationships between architecture and urban by the use of citizens. It emphasizes the documental aspect of these buildings, which are a part of the historic and scenic route of the city, with urban relations that prevail relevant.

El tratamiento con clozapina se encuentra reservado para aquellos pacientes con trastornos psicóticos especialmente graves y con mala respuesta a tratamientos habituales. Por otro lado, se ha hablado de su eficacia para prevenir conductas suicidas (1) así como acción para el control del consumo de tóxicos (2). OBJETIVOS: Estudiar la presencia de patología dual en paciente con trastorno mental grave (TMG) Analizar la respuesta clínica de los mismos tras el inicio del tratamiento con clozapina MÉTODO: Recogemos una muestra de los 31 pacientes que reciben tratamiento con clozapina en el último año de nuestra área de referencia (compuesta por unas 64.000 personas mayores de 16 años). Se realiza una revisión de la historia clínica de todos los pacientes que se encuentran sometidos a este tratamiento. Diagnósticos de la muestra : Esquizofrenia 25 (80%), trastorno de ideas delirantes (13%), Trastorno Esquizoafectivo (6%). RESULTADOS: La muestra compuesta por 31 pacientes: 9 mujeres (29%), 22 hombres (71%). Recibieron diagnóstico de patología dual un 32% no habiendo ningún caso entre mujeres y representado en 45% de los hombres. Además de clozapina se encuentran con tratamiento inyectable de larga duración el 55%. El análisis del número de ingresos y consumo de tóxicos antes y después del inicio con clozapina muestra diferencias estadísticamente significativas. El número escaso de pacientes no permite extraer datos definitivos sobre la autolisis.. CONCLUSIONES Los pacientes TMG presentan mejor control en el consumo de tóxicos tras el inicio de tratamiento con clozapina. La clínica psicótica mejora como releja la reducción drástica del número de ingreso que presentan estos pacientes ya que la mayoría de ellos no han presentado ingresos en los 5 últimos años.
