  • “Those Were the Difficult Years…”∗
    UDC 343.261-051(=135.1)(497.11)"1916/1918"(093.3) 930.2:94(=135.1)(497)"1916/1918"(093.3) Original scientific work Panopoulou Kalliopi Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki Department of Physical Education and Sports' Science, Serres [email protected] “Those Were the Difficult Years…”∗ Oral accounts of Vlachophones from their captivity in Požarevac, Serbia Considering that the oral accounts of the people who experienced the events at a difficult period in time is the most important of all the other re- search material, I am attempting, with this article, to present a few phases of the captivity of the Vlachophones in Požarevac in 1916. The main ob- jective is to depict the climate of the era throughout the time frame from 1916 -- the commencement of their captivity outside Greece – and their re- turn in 1918, through the personal and collective experiences of ordinary people. It is an effort to highlight the value of the oral culture, incorporating the voice of the unseen protagonists into the historical data. It describes the way they reached this specific area, the two years they spent there, and the four phases of their return. Key words: Oral history, Collective memory, Vlachs, Captivity, Serres This announcement is the product of an on-the-spot study of the Vla- chophones of Serres, and more specifically refers to the Vlachophones of Irakleia (Tzoumagias), Petritsi, Vyroneia, and Poroion. It is founded mainly on oral ac- counts of first-generation individuals who witnessed the events of the captivity. The chief objective of this article is to depict the climate of the period from 1916 – the commencement of their captivity outside Greece – and their return in 1918, through the personal and collective experiences of ordinary people.

  • TUBERCULOSIS in GREECE an Experiment in the Relief and Rehabilitation of a Country by J
    TUBERCULOSIS IN GREECE An Experiment in the Relief and Rehabilitation of a Country By J. B. McDOUGALL, C.B.E., M.D., F.R.C.P. (Ed.), F.R.S.E.; Late Consultant in Tuberculosis, Greece, UNRRA INTRODUCTION In Greece, we follow the traditions of truly great men in all branches of science, and in none more than in the science of medicine. Charles Singer has rightly said - "Without Herophilus, we should have had no Harvey, and the rise of physiology might have been delayed for centuries. Had Galen's works not survived, Vesalius would have never reconstructed anatomy, and surgery too might have stayed behind with her laggard sister, Medicine. The Hippo- cratic collection was the necessary and acknowledged basis for the work of the greatest of modern clinical observers, Sydenham, and the teaching of Hippocrates and his school is still the substantial basis of instruction in the wards of a modern hospital." When we consider the paucity of the raw material with which the Father of Medicine had to work-the absence of the precise scientific method, a population no larger than that of a small town in England, the opposition of religious doctrines and dogma which concerned themselves largely with the healing art, and a natural tendency to speculate on theory rather than to face the practical problems involved-it is indeed remarkable that we have been left a heritage in clinical medicine which has never been excelled. Nearly 2,000 years elapsed before any really vital advances were made on the fundamentals as laid down by the Hippocratic School.

  • Areas “Affected” by Malaria in Greece 2019 Season, May 2019
    1 Areas “affected” by malaria in Greece 2019 season, May 2019 The “Working Group (WG) for the designation of areas affected by vector-borne diseases” of the National Committee for the Prevention and Control of Tropical Diseases of the Ministry of Health has convened and decided upon which areas should be designated as “affected”, following the recording of an introduced P.vivax malaria case (1st generation of transmission) in 2019. The WG of experts has carefully examined the following data: the total epidemiological data concerning malaria in Greece since 2009, the number and characteristics of all cases reported to the National Public Health Organization (N.P.H.O.) up to 24th May 2019, the characteristics of the population to which they correspond, and the geomorphological characteristics of the corresponding areas, the available entomological data for the years 2011-2019, especially for the area with the introduced case, and the literature concerning the flight range of mosquito vectors, especially Anopheles sacharovi, which is considered to be the main malaria vector in our country. According to the suggestion of European experts, an “affected area” is defined as falling within a radius of 2-6 km around the probable place of exposure of the locally acquired cases. In Greece, an affected area is usually defined by a radius of 6 km around the probable place of exposure. However, if this defined circle includes sections of large urban centres or cities (that cannot be easily divided) or if a smaller radius is deemed adequate (e.g. based on entomological data, history of cases in an area, geomorphology, etc.), the WG - following risk assessment – decides upon the exact designation of the affected area.

The aim of the research is to identify the threat, its awareness and to ensure the protection of residents. Activities that can lead to a Major Accident (MA), installation process of new units – establishments and responsibilities of investors and the state, are indicated in European Directives, called SEVESO. Employers have responsibility for safety within the industrial establishment; the state is responsible for the perimeter. So governments are responsible for the methods determining the Protection Zones (PZ), the expected impacts of a MA per zone and the Major Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP). In Greece these arrangements are not a result of institutionally entrenched methodological choices. For the first time, new SEVESO installations are related to Land Use Planning in the Directive SEVESO II of 1996, without referring to the existing proximity of corresponding activities to the urban fabric. Western Thessaloniki is the territory in danger. It is established the fact that the parameter of industrial risk is absent from the urban planning of the area. The urban paradox of residents’ coexistence to the risk (threat) is probably caused by the diachronic vicinity of urban tissue with industries, without any relative preoccupation, despite occasional incidents.
