  • Standing Advisory Committee for Medical Research in the British Caribbean
    1* PAN AMERICAN HEALTH FOURTH MEETING ORGANIZATION 14-18 JUNE 1965 ADVISORY COMMITTEE WASHINGTON, D.C. ON MEDICAL RESEARCH REPORT ON THE STANDING ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH IN THE BRITISH CARIBBEAN Ref: RES 4/1 15 April 1965 PAN AMERICAN HEALTH ORGANIZATION Pan American Sanitary Bureau, Regional Office of the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION WASHINGTON, D.C. RES 4/1 Report on THE STANDING ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH IN THE BRITISH CARIBBEAN (SAC)* Origin and Development After World War I, it became the policy of the British Government to decentralize research as far as possible, and to encourage territorial governments to share with the United Kingdom in the responsibility for planning, administering and financing research. With this object regional Medical Research Councils were set up in East and West Africa. At that time all the territories concerned were colonies. The East African Council represented Kenya, Tanganyika and Uganda, the West African Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sierra Leone and Gambia. All these countries are now independent, and the West African Council has ceased to exist, but the East African one continues as an inter-territorial body responsible to a Council of Ministers. In the Caribbean region conditions were different; there was a much larger number of separate governmental units, all very smallcompared with those of Africa, and, with few exceptions, poor. It was felt that, at least in the early stages, it would not be reasonable to expect these territories to finance research themselves out of their slender resources. Therefore it seemed advisable as a first step to establish a committee to advise the British Government on the needs for medical research in the region, and it was hoped that later it would develop into an autonomous council with executive powers, like the councils in Africa.

    NEW GEOGRAPHIES OF EUROPE Edited by THILO LANG AND FRANZISKA GÖRMAR REGIONAL AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT IN TIMES OF POLARISATION Re-Thinking Spatial Policies in Europe New Geographies of Europe Series Editors Sebastian Henn Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena Jena, Germany Ray Hudson Durham University Durham, UK Thilo Lang Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography University of Leipzig Leipzig, Germany Judit Timár Hungarian Academy of Sciences Budapest, Hungary Tis series explores the production and reshaping of space from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. By drawing on con- temporary research from across the social sciences, it ofers novel insights into ongoing spatial developments within and between the various regions of Europe. It also seeks to introduce new geographies at the edges of the European Union and the interplay with bordering areas at the Mediterranean, African and eastern Asian interfaces of the EU. As a result, this series acts as an important forum for themes of pan-European interest and beyond. Te New Geographies of Europe series welcomes proposals for monographs and edited volumes taking a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to spatial phenomena in Europe. Contributions are especially welcome where the focus is upon novel spatial phenomena, path-dependent processes of socio-economic change or policy responses at various levels throughout Europe. Suggestions for topics also include the relationship between the state and citizens, the idea of fragile democracies, the economics of regional separation,

  • Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Fire in the Tropical World*
    Proceedings: 6th Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference 1967 Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Fire in the Tropical World* ROBERT B. BATCHELDER Department of Geograpby Boston University F IRE HAS a long history of occurrence in the tropics, and its effects upon the physical and cultural environment have been profound. For various reasons, the frequency of occur­ rence of accidental fires prior to man's use of fire is believed to have been low, and the area subject to devastation limited. It is known that the areal distribution of humid tropical forests during the early Pleistocene was much greater than at present. Combustibility of such forests must have been very low because of the prevailing per­ humid forest microclimate, and fires once ignited would have had difficulty in spreading. It may be assumed therefore, that widespread burning would occur largely in geographic areas supporting grasses and open dry forest where the occurrence of an ecological dry period of sufficient duration and intensity would permit dessi- • This paper presents part of a more complete investigation into tropical fire sponsored by the U.

It must be remembered, however, that Pleistocene grass and brush lands were much less extensive than at present and probably occurred as enclaves in the extensive dense forest.

    B. Richardson Depression riots and the calling of the 1897 West India Royal Commission Questions why the West India Royal Commission of 1897 was considered necessary when serious distress already existed in the 1880s. Author argues that riots caught the government's attention much more readily than statistical data. Even minor disturbances could have distracted London from its preoccupation with the newer, more important parts of the Empire.

RICHARDSON DEPRESSION RIOTS AND THE CALLING OF THE 1897 WEST INDIA ROYAL COMMISSION Within the vastness of primary archival material that the British generated in describing, measuring, and administering their Caribbean colonies, few documents are so useful as those associated with Royal Commissions of Inquiry. The commissions themselves, of course, were aperiodic, problem- oriented phenomena, and they provided particularly important documen- tary records of the region in the period immediately prior to and following emancipation. Especially in the mid- to late-nineteenth century in the British Caribbean, when planters and freedmen were coming to grips with new social and economie arrangements in an environment clouded with old animosities, a number of commissions dealt with such issues as sugar cane production, labor immigration, financial issues, and social disturbances (Williams 1970:535-37). Commissioners were usually, though not always, sent from Britain to assess local problems. These problems or issues, fur- ther, were usually confined to a particular event, theme, or island, although the commissions on rare occasion were asked to survey the entire region.

  • Portugal in the Great War: the African Theatre of Operations (1914- 1918)
    Portugal in the Great War: the African Theatre of Operations (1914- 1918) Nuno Lemos Pires1 https://academiamilitar.academia.edu/NunoPires At the onset of the Great War, none of the colonial powers were prepared to do battle in Africa. None had stated their intentions to do so and there were no indications that one of them would take the step of attacking its neighbours. The War in Africa has always been considered a secondary theatre of operations by all conflicting nations but, as well shall see, not by the political discourse of the time. This discourse was important, especially in Portugal, but the transition from policy to strategic action was almost the opposite of what was said, as we shall demonstrate in the following chapters. It is both difficult and deeply simple to understand the opposing interests of the different nations in Africa. It is difficult because they are all quite different from one another. It is also deeply simple because some interests have always been clear and self-evident. But we will return to our initial statement. When war broke out in Europe and in the rest of the World, none of the colonial powers were prepared to fight one another. The forces, the policy, the security forces, the traditions, the strategic practices were focused on domestic conflict, that is, on disturbances of the public order, local and regional upheaval and insurgency by groups or movements (Fendall, 2014: 15). Therefore, when the war began, the warning signs of this lack of preparation were immediately visible. Let us elaborate. First, each colonial power had more than one policy.

  • View the Enlightenment As a Catalyst for Beneficial Change in the Region
    UNA REVOLUCION, NI MAS NI MENOS: THE ROLE OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE SUPREME JUNTAS IN QUITO, 1765-1822 Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Beau James Brammer, B.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Master’s Examination Committee: Kenneth Andrien, Adviser Stephanie Smith Alan Gallay Copyright by Beau James Brammer 2010 Abstract This thesis examines the role the European Enlightenment played in the political sphere during the late colonial era in the Audiencia of Quito. Until the eighteenth century, Creole elites controlled the local economic and governmental sectors. With the ascension of the Bourbon dynasty in 1700, however, these elites of Iberian descent began to lose their power as new European ideas, emerging from the Enlightenment, led to a process of consolidating and centralizing power into the hands of Peninsular Spanish officials. Known as the Bourbon Reforms, these measures led to Creole disillusionment, as they began losing power at the local level. Beginning in the 1770s and 1780s, however, Enlightenment ideas of “nationalism” and “rationality” arrived in the Andean capital, making their way to the disgruntled Creoles. As the situation deteriorated, elites began to incorporate these new concepts into their rhetoric, presenting a possible response to the Reforms. When Napoleon invaded Spain in 1808, the Creoles expelled the Spanish government in Quito, creating an autonomous movement, the Junta of 1809, using these Enlightenment principles as their justification. I argue, however, that while these ‘modern’ principles gave the Creoles an outlet for their grievances, it is their inability to find a common ground on how their government should interpret these new ideas which ultimately lead to the Junta’s failure.

  • By Obianuju Ugwu-Oju CLINOTHEMS of the CRETACEOUS BERBICE
    CLINOTHEMS OF THE CRETACEOUS BERBICE CANYON, OFFSHORE GUYANA by Obianuju Ugwu-Oju A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date ____________________________ Signed ____________________________ Obianuju Ugwu-Oju Signed ____________________________ Dr. Lesli Wood Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date ____________________________ Signed ____________________________ Dr. M. Stephen Enders Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The Berbice Canyon of offshore Guyana evolved in the late Cretaceous in proximity to a margin that was separating from the African margin in response to the opening of the northern South Atlantic Ocean. The Berbice would be considered a shelf-incised canyon in the nomenclature of Harris and Whiteway, 2011. This study examines the nature of the canyon morphology, fill phases and fill architecture within the Berbice Canyon using ~7000 km2 of 3D seismic time and depth data, as well as chronostratigraphic data from Horseshoe-01 well drilled adjacent to the canyon fill. The Berbice displays composite canyon development with multiple phases of cut and fill. There are six primary incisional surfaces exhibiting a maximum width of 33km, a maximum relief of 1250 m and a composite maximum relief of 2650 m when decompaction is factored. The western side of the canyon system is primarily modified through destructional activities such as scalloping and side wall failures while the eastern side is primarily modified through constructional progradational activities. There are clinothems deposited within the canyon between incisional surfaces I3 and I4, primarily on the eastern side.
