Universities and Professions in the Early Modern Period
This article brings together old and new ideas and information to provide a different perspective than has so far prevailed upon the relationship between the universities and the professions in the early modern period. It focuses not only upon the direct impact of the so-called educational revolution upon the learned professions but also upon the indirect and less easy to quantify implications of that phenomenon. Special attention is paid to the transference of teaching methods from the universities to the learned professions and to the importance of the patronage system in linking universities and professions. Examples are drawn from a wealth of manuscript sources

Which Wage Dispersion Matters to Firms' Performance?
Research on wage dispersion and firm performance focuses on intra-firm and inter firm effects irrespective of workersâ profession. We extend the analysis by considering dispersion within professions, within and across firms and within professions economy-wide. We find that the intra-firm dispersion of wages, which research so far has focused on, has limited effects on productivity compared to the economy-wide wage dispersion within the professions. As Swedish firms have differentiated wages among employees during the last 10-15 years also the economy-wide dispersion within professions has increased thus contributing considerably to the strong performance of the Swedish economy in the late 1990's.-
A review of the One Health concept : increasing awareness and collaboration between the Maltese medical and veterinary professionals
The One World, One Health concept was initiated
in 2004 by the Wildlife Conservation Society with the
aim of establishing an interdisciplinary and crosssectoral
approach to preventing epidemic or epizootic
diseases and to maintain ecosystem integrity. This
concept has gained importance nowadays due to the
increase in emerging and re-emerging diseases most of
which are zoonotic in nature. Collaboration between the
Maltese medical and veterinary professions is necessary
to diagnose and control these diseases. A number of
points are made questioning the current state of
collaboration between these professions, with the aim of
increasing the trust and communication between the said
professions thus ensuring the best possible defence
against diseases which can be a threat to both the human
and animal population on the Maltese islandspeer-reviewe
