Perinatal mortality necropsy findings 1957-1966

The 243 perinatal postmortem examinations carried out at St. Luke's Hospital Malta during the ten year period 1957-1966 are analysed and classified according to the International classification introduced by Butler and Bonham (1963). The series is compared with that of Butler and Bonham and explanations are offered for some of the divergent findings. Congenital malformations which accounted for 15.2% of all perinatal deaths, are analysed in some detail. Finally, figures indicate that in the more recent years, the number of perinatal deaths has decreased, whereas the number of necropsies has increased.peer-reviewe

Overview of the weather modification research in India

A Rain and Cloud Physics Research (RCPR) Centre was set up in 1955 at the National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi for undertaking scientific studies on Cloud Physics and Rainmaking. The RCPR Centre conducted a long series of ground based salt seeding experiments in north India during the southwest monsoon seasons (June-Sept.) of 1957-1966. The results of these experiments showed on the average, an increase of about 20 percent in rainfall on seeded days

Kwame Nkrumah and Pan African Consciousness: 1957 – 1966

Kwame Nkrumah was a foremost Pan African leader who brought Pan Africanism from the Diaspora to the mother continent after hosting the first All African Peoples Conference (AAPC) in Accra in December, 1958; which took far reaching decisions on African redemption. He had inspiration from Dr. J. E. K. Aggrey, Marcus Garvey, WEB DuBois, George Padmore, etc. on Pan Africa tradition. He demonstrated this during the fifth Pan African Congress in Manchester in 1945 where his paper Declaration to the colonial peoples of the world was approved by the delegates to that conference and this he pursued vigorously when his country attained independence in 1957. It was in this perspective that his influence came to bear on the formation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963 now the African Union (AU) as well as other regional bodies e.g. the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in 1975 three years after his death. It was also from this perspective that Nkrumah brought Africans both at home and the Diaspora (through their leaders) e.g. Malcolm X, Elijah Muhammed, Muhammed Ali and Kwame Ture (formerly Stockley Carmichael) together. Keywords: Nkrumah, Kwame, Padmore, Garvey, Pan-African, and Consciousnes

Beira Central Station, Mozambique 1957–1966

[Excerto] Este livro constitui uma atualização do relatório da Tarefa 1 – recolha de dados, inventário e contextualização, elaborado pelo Autor em setembro de 2020 no âmbito da iniciativa Keeping It Modern Grant (KIM) da Getty Foundation de Los Angeles, EUA. Antes do início do projeto KIM, existia já uma quantidade significativa de dados recolhidos pelo Autor em pesquisas arquivísticas e bibliográficas, em entrevistas com arquitetos e seus familiares e em observações e registos fotográficos in situ. Um inventário sob a forma de uma base de dados permitia organizar e entrecruzar todas essas informações, apoiando a interpretação de desenhos técnicos e a proposição de sínteses parciais em conferências e publicações.[Excerpt]This book is an update of the Task 1 report –data collection, inventory and contextualization, prepared by the Author in September 2020 as part of the Keeping It Modern Grant (KIM) initiative of the Getty Foundation in Los Angeles, USA.

‘Nuclear prospects’: the siting and construction of Sizewell A power station 1957-1966

This paper examines the siting and construction of a Magnox nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast. The station was initially welcomed by local politicians as a solution to unemployment but was criticised by an organised group of local communist activists who predicted how the restriction zone would restrict future development. Oral history interviews provide insights into conditions on the construction site and the social effects on the nearby town. Archive material reveals the spatial and development restrictions imposed with the building of the power station, which remains on the shoreline a monument to the ‘atomic age’. This material is contextualised in the longer economic and social history of a town that moved from the shadow of nineteenth century paternalistic industry into the glare of the nuclear construction program and became an early example of the eclipsing of local democracy by the centralised nuclear state
