British art show 7: in the days of the comet

Exhibit: Karin Ruggaber’s wall-based Relief #90 presents an arrangement of tile-like forms resembling finds from an archaeological dig. Made from an amalgam of natural and man-made materials – shredded tree bark, concrete and plaster – each component part is cast using a process that produces unpredictable outcomes. Assembled on the wall, the individual parts engage with and activate empty space, while sometimes repeating, copying or mirroring each other. As Ruggaber comments, the work is ‘a kind of tableau, and in this sense it contains and plays with the elements of scenery, such as a focal point, background and foreground.’ Karin Ruggaber's Relief No 90 is an array of small painted sculptures, or sculpted paintings, each with its imprecise suggestion of a form – palettes, clogs, violins, crescent moons – hints from the real world and with the real world carried in their surfaces, from tree bark to pebble and moss. Dancing across the wall, they invoke small objects in rhythm and yet at the same time the turning world itself, the ground beneath one's feet; as beautifully ordered as the words in a sonnet

Tracing Mobile Inventors – The Causality between Inventor Mobility and Inventor Productivity

This paper analyzes the causality between inventor productivity and inventor mobility. The results show that the level of education has no influence on inventor productivity. Making use of external sources of knowledge, on the contrary, has a significant effect on productivity. Finally, firm size has a positive impact on productivity. Firm size also influences inventor mobility, although negatively. Whereas existing research implicitly assumes causality to point in one direction, this study ex-ante allows for a simultaneous relationship. To deal with the expected endogeneity problem, instrumental variables techniques will be employed. Results show that mobile inventors are more than four times as productive as non-movers. Whereas mobility increases productivity, an increase in productivity decreases the number of moves

Smoking behaviour in pregnant Maltese females

The smoking behaviour of a randomly selected group of pregnant Maltese females attending the Antenatal clinic at Karin Grech Hospital, Malta was studied during the first four months of 1988. The group was also screened with regard to educational attainment, occupation and attitudes to smoking. It was found out that 45.4%, used to smoke before getting pregnant while 22.6% still smoked during their current pregnancy. The reasons for and the duration of the smoking habit are among the findings that are discussed.peer-reviewe
