Coastal land use in the Maltese islands: a description and appraisal
No full textThe area of the Maltese Islands is 316 km , and with an official coastal length of 180 km(^2) possess a high ratio of coastal length to area. The physical properties of the coast include a highly indented and largely accessible coastline having a low sloping profile, on the north, east and south-east littoral of Malta, presenting inlets, bays and deep harbours. Most of the recreational, industrial and coastal residential areas are situated around these areas together with a wide range of fortifications and military defensive structures built as part of the coastal defensive network of Malta over the last five centuries. In contrast, the other parts of the coast, including Gozo, consists of a largely inaccessible coastline made up of cliffs and boulder scree slopes with the few indentations marking sandy beaches. These areas have a high aesthetic quality. The rapid pace of development over last half-century has witnessed an economic transformation from an economy based on British military spending to one based on the development of coastal areas for marine-related services, tourism and residential and second-home development. Coastal land use conflicts have intensified with economic development and as people have sought to make a more use of the coast. This thesis is concerned with the evaluation of the coastal land use in the Maltese Islands. A historical overview of the coast is first presented, then a methodology for the mapping, surveying and estimation of the land uses along the coastal zone of the Maltese Islands is developed. This is based on a number of coastal field surveys that the author participated in between 1989 and 1998. The coastal zone was divided into sixteen segments and mapping is covered by sixteen land uses. The main results were that coastal development was centred in areas where a high natural coastal indentation and good physical accessibility of the coast were present, these, in turn, gave rise to land use conflict. In addition, civil engineering works and modifications such as rock-cutting, jetties, breakwaters and, in densely populated areas, promenades, intensified land use conflict. A notable difference in the type of coastal development processes to the north (tourism) and south (industry) of the Great Fault is evident. The thesis also includes the part played by the Malta Environment and Planning Authority in influencing coastal land uses, the main land use modifications proposed in the European Union accession talks and a brief assessment of the land use situation in selected localities in 2003
Excavations at Tas-Silg, Malta : a preliminary report on the 1996-1998 campaigns conducted by the Department of Classics and Archaeology of the University of Malta
No full textThe area known as Tas-Silg is situated in the south-eastern part of the island of Malta, close to
Marsaxlokk harbour. In reality the place name refers to the small church
dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows (hence Tas-Silg) situated at the point where the narrow ·
road from Zejtun forks out in two directions: to Delimara and Xrobb il-Ghagin due south-east
and to Marsaxlokk village due south-west. A British-period fort occupying the highest point
of the elongated hill further south along· the first road also carries the same place name. The
lower and more compact hill on which the excavations have been conducted is called 'Ta'
Berikka' , but since it is so close to the above-mentioned church (only 50 m to the north) the
tradition of calling it Tas-Silg is now well established and there is no sense in changing it.
The site has a commanding view of the Marsaxlokk harbour to the south and overlooks two
other bays, Marsascala and St Thomas's bay, to the north-east. On all sides the slope is broken
up by man-made terraced fields
There is no doubt that the topography of the site must have been a determining factor in its
choice for the establishment of a religious centre in the Temple period of Maltese pehistory
(3000--2500 BC), though one must keep in mind that close to Tas-Silg there are three other
prehistoric temple sites. each one with a completely different topography. The Temple people
were quite introverted in their cultural isolation and do not seem to have been much interested
in seafaring and in the outside world. The situation changed radically in the following age, the
Bronze Age. when the island was occupied by people who set up villages on naturally defensible hilltops, occasionally fortifying them with artificial ramparts. The Tas-Silg hill
with its temple ruins was occupied by these people, but it is not as yet clear for what purpose.
The scenario changed again in historical times when the central and western Mediterranean
started to be parcelled out among the commercial powers originating in the eastern
Mediterranean. The Greeks do not seem to have even tried 10 colonize Malta as they did in
neighbouring Sicily. The Phoenicians, however, did occupy the island, apparently through a
slow process of peaceful penetration and eventual political and cultural assimi lation. It was in
this period that the ruins of the megalithic temple were transformed into a Phoenician extraurban
shrine dedicated to Astarte, which in time expanded into a full y-fledged sanctuary with
an international reputation. The last chapter in the millennia- long history of the site was
written when the colonnaded courtyard in front of the old temple was transformed into an
early Christian church. Any use made of the site in the following Arab period is, once again,
poorly understood.peer-reviewe
Virtual reality supports perspective taking in cultural heritage interpretation
No full textOur research proves that virtual reality (VR) technology can be used to encourage users to adopt an alternative point of view through a virtual embodiment. Our results extend previous studies showing that emotional responses are evoked in virtual environments (Meuleman and Rudrauf, 2018) and arouse the sense of empathy (Ventura et al., 2020). To this end, we built a virtual museum, where different avatars can interact with experimental subjects to discuss emotional and value-driven interpretations related to artworks, aiming at bootstrapping user's interpretation-reflection loops (IRL) (Daga et al., 2022). IRL consists in encouraging the user to (a) provide a point of view, (b) to know about another point of view, and (c) to possibly take a different perspective. In line with recent literature, our results are based on the analysis of dialogue, and on the psychophysiological response of the users, showing that a VR-driven methodology can both develop a sense of embodiment, and maximize the human capacity to take another's point of view. Results also confirm that the use of immersive VR can be a valid tool to promote empathy through an embodied experience
Virtual embodiment increases male sensitivity to catcalling experiences
No full textWomen are disproportionately subjected to the widespread social problem of street harassment. This study focuses on catcalling, a specific form of harassment characterized by unsolicited verbal or gestural comments often centered on physical appearance. To investigate the emotional and cognitive impact of this experience, we employ an immersive virtual reality (VR) paradigm wherein male participants embody a female avatar to experience street harassment firsthand. Participants’ emotional responses were assessed through both explicit self-reports, guided by Ekman’s emotion model, and implicit measures derived from a semantic analysis of their verbal reactions. Our findings reveal two primary outcomes: first, the experience elicited heightened feelings of anger and disgust, emotions frequently associated with moral disapproval; second, a significant correlation emerged between the intensity of these emotions and the subjective sense of virtual embodiment. This research also introduces an AI-driven method for simulating cognitive and neural patterns associated with the experience. These results underscore the potential of VR as a tool for promoting social safety, with significant applications for clinical and educational interventions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dallo chignon ai capelli sciolti. Stereotipie delle bibliotecarie tra primo e secondo Novecento
No full textThe essay focuses on the main stereotypes that have characterized the way of representing the figure of the librarian starting from classic American cinema. Hair gathered in a chignon, shirt buttoned at the neck, glasses, are elements that make the surly, solitary, shy and rude librarians easily recognizable who find their climax in the figure of Miss Anderson in Citizen Kane. In the second half of the twentieth century, however, a radical change took place in the stereotypical representation of this figure and the chignon was replaced by loose hair and the character of the harsh woman gave way to that of the sexy icon
Instagram tra realismo e messinscena
No full textL'articolo esplora l'idea che le pratiche post-fotografiche legate ad instagram occupano uno spazio intermedio tra quello dell'occhio meccanico (che nell'era fotografica tendeva a rappresentare oggettivamente la realtà) e quello della messa in scena del sé nel quale gli hashtag costituiscono i mezzi fondamentali attraverso i quali promuovere la propria immagine sul palcoscenico dei social media.The article explores the idea that post-photographic practices related to instagram occupy an intermediate space between that of the mechanical eye (which in the photographic era tended to objectively represent reality) and that of the staging of the self in which hashtags are the fundamental means by which to promote their image on the social media stage
Occurrence of Paraleucilla magna Klautau et al., 2004 (Porifera: Calcarea) in Malta.
No full textThe calcareous sponge Paraleucilla magna, first recorded from the Mediterranean in 2001 (southern Tyrrhenian, southern Adriatic and northwest Ionian coasts of Italy), is recorded from Malta (Central Mediterranean) where it was found forming part of the fouling community on small, surface markerbuoys around a fish-farm in Marsaxlokk Bay
Hepatitis C : an emerging concern
No full textHepatitis C has surfaced worldwide as a formidable concern to public health. Recent developments have sharpened methods of serological detectability, epidemiological study and patient treatment. In the light of the global situation, this article briefly presents known local epidemiology about hepatitis C derived from routine data and personal communication from some key workers. The occurrence of a serious, potentially progressive, transmissible condition in a young population will incur high-costs to patients, contacts and care services. The article concludes by highlighting the areas offering greatest scope to check this condition through prevention and patient management.peer-reviewe
