  • 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.

    WORKSHOP: Around The World In 30 Instruments Educator’s Guide www.4shillingsshort.com [email protected] AROUND THE WORLD IN 30 INSTRUMENTS A MULTI-CULTURAL EDUCATIONAL CONCERT for ALL AGES Four Shillings Short are the husband-wife duo of Aodh Og O’Tuama, from Cork, Ireland and Christy Martin, from San Diego, California. We have been touring in the United States and Ireland since 1997. We are multi-instrumentalists and vocalists who play a variety of musical styles on over 30 instruments from around the World. Around the World in 30 Instruments is a multi-cultural educational concert presenting Traditional music from Ireland, Scotland, England, Medieval & Renaissance Europe, the Americas and India on a variety of musical instruments including hammered & mountain dulcimer, mandolin, mandola, bouzouki, Medieval and Renaissance woodwinds, recorders, tinwhistles, banjo, North Indian Sitar, Medieval Psaltery, the Andean Charango, Irish Bodhran, African Doumbek, Spoons and vocals. Our program lasts 1 to 2 hours and is tailored to fit the audience and specific music educational curriculum where appropriate. We have performed for libraries, schools & museums all around the country and have presented in individual classrooms, full school assemblies, auditoriums and community rooms as well as smaller more intimate settings. During the program we introduce each instrument, talk about its history, introduce musical concepts and follow with a demonstration in the form of a song or an instrumental piece. Our main objective is to create an opportunity to expand people’s understanding of music through direct expe- rience of traditional folk and world music. ABOUT THE MUSICIANS: Aodh Og O’Tuama grew up in a family of poets, musicians and writers.

  • A Methodology for Assessing Ground Borne Noise And
    A Methodology for Assessing Ground Borne Noise and Vibration Transfer Functions “Tunnel wall-Soil surface” for Metropolitan Rail Networks using the TBM Muck Train as a linear source: Measurements Campaign in the extension of Athens Metro Line 3 towards Piraeus Vassiliki Zafiropoulou Dr. Researcher Laboratory of Transportation Environmental Acoustics (L.T.E.A.), Faculty of the Civil Engineering, University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece Konstantinos Vogiatzis Associate Professor, Laboratory of Transportation Environmental Acoustics (L.T.E.A.), Faculty of the Civil Engineering, University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece. Haralampos Mouzakis Assistant Professor, National Technical University of Athens, Greece. Summary Attiko Metro S.A., in view of the further development of the Athens Metro network, has fully initiated the new extension of 7.6 km, for line 3 “Haidari to Piraeus Dimotiko Theatre” towards “University of Piraeus” (forestation), connecting the major Piraeus Port with “Eleftherios Venizelos” International Airport. During the operation of this major urban subway rail transit system, vibrations are expected to be generated when transmitted through the soil and cause vibrations in nearby buildings. In urban areas, these vibrations are a consequence of the vehicle forces acting from the wheels onto the track in local defects. The transmission of ground-borne vibrations from subway rail transit systems in a building is mainly governed by the transfer function (TF) of vibration diffusion from the tunnel wall or invert towards the soil surface in the façade of the given protected building. Therefore at the early stages of a vibration assessment, it is necessary to complete a rigorous and detailed analysis in the basis of a detailed finite element calculation.

  • VINICIO CAPOSSELA from Tefteri: a Settling of Scores
    VINICIO CAPOSSELA From Tefteri: A Settling of Scores (non- fiction) Translated from the Italian by Elettra Pauletto Athens, March 2012 The word “crisis” comes from the Greek kríno, which means to sep- arate, sort, divide. Crisis is a concept that lends itself well to rebetiko— a type of music born of separation—and to Greece, from which Europe is pulling away, driven by the disdain that lies at the root of all rejection. People often speak of Greece with language that evokes tragedy, which, as a genre, was invented there. The word “tragedy” comes from the Greek tragudi, or song, and at its root is tragos, which means goat. Tragodia, song of the goat. Once the cultural mother of Europe, Greece has become a scapegoat for her sins. Europa, daughter to a king of Crete, seduced by Zeus. Europa of the “wide eyes,” land of the west, ever facing the setting sun. Since ancient times, Greek creations have been permeated with a sense of universality. Taken together, this body of work tells the story of man, the anthropos. And it tells the story of man and destiny, of what is happening to Westerners in this moment of “crisis,” of choices. Let’s travel there, a small tool in hand— a thyrsus, perhaps— and accompanied by music born of catastrophe. Greeks still use the word Katastrofis to describe the Greco- Turkish war of 1922, the destruction of Smyrna, and the exodus of the Greeks from Asia Minor. These million and a half refugees were the ones who, following the treaty of Lausanne, returned destitute to a motherland that no longer wanted them; brought back with them the music and customs of other places; and gathered in suburban neighborhoods, changing the social fabric of 1920s Athens (then dubbed the “Paris of the Eastern Mediterranean” by the young Greek state, which wanted to westernize Greek culture).

  • Registration Certificate
    1 The following information has been supplied by the Greek Aliens Bureau: It is obligatory for all EU nationals to apply for a “Registration Certificate” (Veveosi Engrafis - Βεβαίωση Εγγραφής) after they have spent 3 months in Greece (Directive 2004/38/EC).This requirement also applies to UK nationals during the transition period. This certificate is open- dated. You only need to renew it if your circumstances change e.g. if you had registered as unemployed and you have now found employment. Below we outline some of the required documents for the most common cases. Please refer to the local Police Authorities for information on the regulations for freelancers, domestic employment and students.
