Folklore
Malta and Gozo possess a rich legacy
of folklore. They stand half-way on
the land ridge that once joined Sicily to
Africa, and their geographical position has
influenced their history and traditions.
Besides reflecting the usages and ways of
thought of the present, Maltese folklore
preserves the soul of the past, embodying
the mode of life and the beliefs and
practices of preceding centuries. This
national heritage of lore and tradition is
the product of simple, psychological
reactions to the historical environments
and to the various culture contacts which
our people have experienced in the past. At
different times and by various routes,
many people have come to these islands
and dominated them for varying periods.
Each ruling group - Punic, Roman, Arab,
Norman, Swabian, Angevin, Aragonese,
Castilian, the Knights of St John of
Jerusalem and, lastly, the English -
brought its own lore, language and way of
life in its wake. Most of these left their
imprint on local tradition and, in their
turn, underwent changes in the process of
adaptation to the conditions of the country
and subsequent adjustment to the
traditional pattern of Maltese life and
thought. The result has been an extremely
variegated form of folk-culture constituting
a distinctive element of Malta's national
identity.peer-reviewe
Samuel B. Guze Oral History
An interview of the Washington University Medical Center Desegregation History Project, conducted by Edwin W. McCleskey and associates, 1990. Approximate Length: 49 minutes.
Samuel Guze discusses his experience with segregation and desegregation of Barnes Hospital, Renard Hospital, as well as its psychiatric service and unit. He guesses the psychiatric service desegregated the Barnes Hospital psychiatric unit in October 1953.
He describes the desegregation of Washington University School of Medicine. He says the Executive Faculty gave the admissions committee discretion in flexible criteria for admission for those with disadvantaged educational background. Roy Vagelos of biochemistry was a key player on the executive faculty along with John Herweg, who headed the admissions committee starting in the early 1960s.
Guze recalled that the first African American medical student admitted had difficulty and the second had no difficulty, but the Executive Faculty wanted more African Americans admitted and numbers did not start to go up significantly until about 1968. Guze says this was due to the hiring of Robert Lee, Assistant Dean for Minority Affairs.
Guze discusses the parallel but related desegregation of the St. Louis City Hospital and health care systems. He notes that the segregated city healthcare system included two large general hospitals, Homer G. Phillips Hospital for Blacks and the older St. Louis City Hospital No. 1 for whites. He explains that there was one psychiatric unit at the Malcolm Bliss Center for whites and a separate psychiatric unit for Blacks run by Black psychiatrists at Homer G. Phillips. Guze recalls the teaching arrangement with Homer G. Phillips was less complete and depended on personal relationships in each service. Guze notes that desegregation of both facilities led the city to evaluate whether the city needed two large general hospital complexes.
A group of Black physicians approached Guze in the 1970s about an affiliation, but Guze insisted on conditions that Homer G. Phillips was not prepared to meet then, including the right to appoint medical staff

Graph Theory Approach to Transportation Systems Design and Optimization
The main aim of the paper is to present graph theory parameters and algorithms as tool to analyze and to optimise transportation systems. To realize these goals the 0-1 knapsack problem solution by SPEA algorithm, methods and procedures for finding the minimal spanning tree in graphs and digraphs, domination parameters problems accurate to analyse the transportation systems are introduced and described. Possibility of application of graph theory algorithms and parameters to analyze exemplary transportation system are shown
