Abstract:

The artist discusses his Master of Fine Arts thesis exhibition “the emotional plague” held at the Reese Museum in Johnson City, Tennessee from March 2nd through March 27th, 2020 in which he examines a number of literary and invented narrative subjects influenced by science fiction, Surrealism and the current political climate in an attempt to reconcile the social and the personal through the creative act. Largely improvisational in their conception, the paintings and drawings in this exhibition reflect ideas derived from writers, thinkers and artists including Wilhelm Reich, J.G. Ballard, W.S.

Abstract:

This thesis expands upon the notion that Thucydides’ plague narrative in his History of the Peloponnesian War punctuates his argument for the unique greatness of the Peloponnesian War. Through the plague, Thucydides displays the collapse of Greek society’s standards and practices. He does this by describing a plague which does not conform to 5th century BCE Greek medical ideas. Balance, human art, and divine intervention all fail in their attempts to restore the health of the individual and society. Thucydides portrays the plague as a narrative aggressor whose intent is to topple Athens and it

Abstract:

This dissertation catalogues and examines Albert Camus's thematic repetitiveness as seen in his fiction and in how this repetitiveness relates to the world view presented in the so-called guillotine passage in his novel The Plague: that the world consists of scourges, victims, and an elusive third domain. A scourge can be an aggressor. It causes suffering and even death. The plague and other infirmities, both physical and mental, are aggressors. They are indiscriminate, merciless, and oftentimes deadly. Tyrants, too, are aggressors, some of which cling to the arbitrary, while others have a con

La peste è una malattia infettiva che, a partire dal Neolitico, ha contribuito a plasmare la storia dell'umanità molte volte in passato.

È quindi importante continuare a studiarla perché l'analisi delle epidemie del passato può darci informazioni sulla patogenicità, la selettività e le modalità di trasmissione di questa riemergente e importante malattia infettiva.

Abstract:

Plague is often thought of as an historic disease; however it has been classified as re-emerging. Many disciplines have conducted research independently on these historic outbreaks, with the aim of better understanding the disease and its impact. Epidemiological models designed to show the spread of plague in the past have been created using modern data on transmission as a framework. This thesis uses and argues for a multidisciplinary approach in plague analysis with a foundation in the historic record.

This thesis discusses in detail four Italian vernacular plague tracts written by doctors in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. These doctors used the popular genre of plague tracts to promote their views on how to improve the physical and spiritual well-being of the people in their communities. The plague tracts illustrate their concerns about the expertise and status of doctors, apprehensions about the behaviour of communities during plague epidemics, and the ever-present fears that the plague was both a symptom of and a catalyst for immoral behaviour.

Plague is a classic zoonosis caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and is subject to the International Health Regulations, 1969. In the last two millennia, plague has become widespread, with three pandemics occurring in the 6th, 14th and 20th centuries. Currently, plague outbreaks and epidemics still occur worldwide. This study attempts to develop formal work methods and procedures for plague surveillance and control by environmental health practitioners as a strategy to ensure that field data can be integrated within the municipal, provincial and national spheres of government.

This thesis investigates how health officials sought to preserve or recover good health during plague epidemics in Mantua, from 1463-1577. Scholarship on health boards in Italy has focused primarily on larger cities such as Milan, Florence and Venice, while many smaller cities and states which formed part of the wider network of interdependent health offices have yet to receive significant attention. This study attempts to address this imbalance by focussing on Mantua, a hitherto neglected area in the heart of northern Italy. Historians have shown by the sixteenth century health offices had wi

Rates of sediment accumulation dated by tephra provide a record of erosion in Skaftártunga, South Iceland. The scale of enquiry is that of individual landholdings (5–10

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was first discovered in 1981 and consequently changed United States history.

In response to a need for education, the theatre community took it upon itself to raise awareness about the disease. Artists such as Robert Chesley and Larry Kramer created pieces of theatre that helped society deal with AIDS. This thesis explores the AIDS theatre canon while focusing on two major works: Ro

This visual separation of the city from the plague sick (and the plague dead) is most profoundly registered on the border of the broadsheet,

Abstract:

Aphanomyces spp. are water moulds, eukaryotic fungus-like organisms, belonging to the class Oomycota. This genus contains primary pathogens of plants and animals as well as opportunistic and saprotrophic species. One of the animal parasites (A. astaci) is the causal agent of the crayfish plague, a disease listed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). It is believed that A. astaci was first introduced into Italy from the US in the late 19th century and rapidly spread in Europe causing the decline of native crayfish.
