  • Raftakis 2019.Pdf
    MORTALITY CHANGE IN HERMOUPOLIS, GREECE (1859-1940) Michail Raftakis Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in accordance with the requirements of the Newcastle University. School of History, Classics and Archaeology September 2019 Abstract This thesis examines mortality decline from 1859 to 1940 in the city of Hermoupolis, on the Greek island of Syros. A demographic approach is employed to understand the mechanisms of mortality decline at both local and national levels. This study produces important new insights into Greek and Mediterranean urban historical demography and is the first comprehensive study of urban mortality in Greece, utilizing the largest and one of the longest time-series yet calculated from civil registration and census data. Standard historical demographic methods were employed in this study along with the technique of nominal record linkage. A series of abridged life tables was constructed for the very first time for a Greek urban settlement, enabling the calculation of age- specific mortality rates and life expectancy. Cause-specific mortality analysis for the years 1916–1940 provided a deeper insight into the epidemiological profile of the city. Hermoupolis experienced much higher mortality levels than the national average. The findings presented here suggest that early childhood mortality started to decline rapidly as a result of mass immunisations from the late nineteenth century onwards, with declines in early adulthood and infancy following. This thesis has found that the second stage of Omran’s epidemiological transition theory was still ongoing in the 1930s, with high prevalence of infectious diseases, especially of tuberculosis among young adults and diarrhoeal diseases among infants and young children.

  • TAF6 CATALOGUE.Pdf
    Dear all, Welcome to the 6th Thessaloniki Animation Festival! It has definitely been a hard period for everyone and we are very grateful that we have managed to pull through. In times like these, I feel that the world needs more art...and I believe that animation is a very unique and powerful medium, connecting people and speaking directly to their hearts. TAF’s mission has always been to bring fresh animation films for the Thessaloniki audience to enjoy, screened in great venues of the city, honouring artists from all over the world for their inspiration and technique. This year, however, our top priority is to remain safe during the global health crisis, therefore we are stepping up our game by going exclusively online, reaching out to international audiences. We are also very happy to introduce the very first Balkan Animation Forum (BAF), bringing artists from around the Balkan Region together, to present their work and creative ideas. TAF initially began as a project among friends, artists and animators, who were seeking to share their love and passion for animation. We founded this festival eager to acquaint the audience of Thessaloniki with this specific art form and make it an annual celebration. True to ourselves, six years later, those same friends -plus a couple more we made along the way- are here making this festival bigger, better and TAF-er every year! Best Regards, Dimitris Savvaidis 2 Dear all, While Vardaris (Βαρδάρης), a wind of change, makes its way through Thessaloniki, lets us foresee that a new season is coming.
