Unlike Mazagão, which represents the long-lasting Portuguese new settlement in North Africa (1514-1769), the Portuguese urban experience mainly opted for the occupation of existing Muslim cities in the region. In fact, during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, five coastal cities were seized and undertook an occupational praxis that implied a surface downsizing by new curtain walls, called atalho, and a revision of the street layout. In a territory where fortified perimeters often acted as borders, the former Islamic matrix implied not only a re-dimensioning of the urban space, but also a will of erasing the previously built footprint. Military architecture and urban morphology were to become coherent with the European culture, at a time when urban concepts and practices were being renewed through the hygienist and rationalist spirit inherent to the winds of early modernity. Historical cartography and recent fieldwork allow retrospective keys to the reading of these ...

RESUMO À medida que a pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 alcança a escala planetária, multiplicam-se as respostas políticas de combate à doença Covid-19. Contudo, não só persiste a falta de evidência sobre os processos de tomada de decisão e os resultados obtidos - incluindo os colaterais - como também a análise de políticas não tem sido capaz de ultrapassar reportes descritivos que pouco acrescentam à compreensão teórica da gestão política dessa doença. Partindo do caso português, este ensaio visa contribuir para corrigir essas lacunas, em concreto: colaborar para a melhoria das respostas políticas e para a consolidação do debate teórico a respeito da tomada de decisão política em contexto de crises sanitárias. A reflexão desenvolve-se em torno da necessidade de clarificar os objetivos de gestão dos contágios (se é erradicar, gerir, ignorar ou se há incapacidade na gestão das cadeias de transmissão), sobre a qualidade da monitorização e limites da comparação internacional (as diferenças de metodologias e a importância dos rastreios) e sobre aspectos de como viver com a Covid-19 e a procura de normalidade (desafios no acesso à vacinação e relações com desigualdades sociais). A reflexão termina com a indicação de como o caso português ilustra as principais teorias de análise dos ciclos das políticas públicas.

Background with rationaleThe volume of Fraud and Computer Misuse victimisation in the UK is estimated to be nearly equivalent to all other crime types combined. Alongside this, the Victims' Charter establishes enhanced rights for vulnerable victims, a category which includes repeat victims, placing a responsibility on criminal justice agencies to assess vulnerability and respond accordingly. However, identifying repeat victimisation is challenging and the relationship between reported repeat victimisation and vulnerability requires empirical scrutiny.
Main aimThis presentation draws on PhD research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and conducted in collaboration with the Southern Wales Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU), to profile victims of fraud and computer misuse in Wales. It presents the methodological challenges and lessons learnt from linking administrative crime records to identify and profile repeat victims of fraud and computer misuse across the four Welsh police forces.
Methods/ApproachThis research utilised a sample of all incidents reported within the Welsh police force areas over a period of two years (1st October 2014 to 30th September 2016). A mixture of exact and probabilistic matching was used to match records relating to the same victim, leveraging R's RecordLinkage package in conjunction with Tidyverse. A variety of descriptive and inferential statistics were used to summarise key relationships within the resulting linked dataset.
Results & ConclusionLinking crime records presents considerable methodological challenges related to data quality and the availability and accessibility of linkage tools. These difficulties impair the assessment of vulnerability which is demanded of criminal justice agencies. Despite their limitations however, crime records can be used to provide new insights into the nature of repeat victimisation and the characteristics of victims who report being repeatedly victimised.

This article considers the role of self-portraiture within the work of British artist Donald Rodney (1961–98). The text investigates the ways in which Rodney used the self-portrait, not to visualize himself, but to animate issues associated with the dominant framings of black men as delinquent, sexually deviant, and a menace to society. The work of Rasheed Araeen is discussed, with particular relevance to his influential use of self-portraiture. The author also discusses mainstream media's construction of the black male deviant with respect to aspects of the newspaper coverage of the "rioting" that took place in Rodney's home town, Birmingham, in the mid-1980s.

<i>This paper aims to question the military capability concept, as a core element of the
strategic military planning process, in order to determine its validity or need for expansion.
Thus, based on a deductive approach and qualitative research, we argue that the strategic
planning process is a conundrum so dependent on capabilities that it is necessary to analyse
this concept per se and, if necessary, expand it on a time and threat basis. Otherwise,
the more ambiguous the concept, the more subjective the planning process output and,
consequently, the greater likelihood of the Armed Forces not being prepared to face the wide
range of future challenges. It concludes by suggesting that the military capability concept
should be expanded and more integrated and the strategic defence planning process
adapted accordingly.</i>

The concept of medicalization is hugely influential, and empirical studies have demonstrated that medicalization has largely been achieved not only through the work of medical professionals or scientists but also increasingly through the efforts of patients or citizens seeking to legitimize their distress through defining it as a "medical" problem. In this article, I argue that the concept of medicalization is still fundamentally important to the sub-discipline of medical sociology, but that there is a need to revisit and critique its conceptualization. I draw on reflexive arguments within the literature that we, as sociologists, have tended to reproduce the assumptions of the medical profession about what counts as medical knowledge and practice and on literature that explores the complex and plural ways in which people seek to make sense of their illnesses. I argue that there have been few attempts to engage with the question of how "making things medical" occurs in a global context of medical pluralism. By revisiting Conrad's approach to defining medicalization, I argue for a separation between empirical observations of the dominance of biomedical knowledge, from theoretical observations about medical knowledge and definitions. I argue for a "knowledge-based" approach to medicalization by opening up the definition of "making things medical" to include all forms of medical knowledge in a global society. The concept of medicalization can then be replaced with medicalizations (plural). To argue this, I take two steps: first, I draw on hermeneutic philosophy to argue that there is a stable definition of medicine on which to base an argument that apparently diverse forms of medical practice can be grouped together and used within the concept of medicalization; second, I argue that medicalization is not unproblematically linked to medical social control. The "success" or not of different attempts to define things as medical problems in part depends on the social and political context. This new approach allows sociologists to make sense theoretically of differences we see in comparative empirical research between whether "diseases" are acknowledged in different national or cultural context. Finally, I provide the readers with guidance on the operationalization of this concept in empirical study. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

The first attempts to apply geophysical methods to archaeological sites in Portugal date from the mid-sixties of the last century. Since then, geophysical methods have been used more and more frequently to help on archaeological site recognition, delineating buried structures, and help on excavating strategies. The first geophysical methods used in Portugal were geoelectrical methods followed by magnetic methods; today those two methods are still used; however, georadar and electrical resistivity tomography have also been used on a routine basis whenever the local conditions allow their use. Four archaeological sites will be described as examples on the use of geophysical methods in Archaeology. Two of them are from roman times (the Roman Villa of Tourega, in central Portugal and the Roman town of Troia, in the west coast of Portugal), one is from Neolithic times (a burial mound in central Portugal); the last one is a recent archaeological site (eighteenth century) and has to do with the location of a crypt known to exist in the garden of the Portuguese Legislature in Lisbon. Only electrical resistivity tomography and georadar were used. The sites were chosen because in all of them there were already previously excavated areas or there were plans for future excavation. When choosing those sites the idea was to be able to compare the interpretations of the geophysical data with the results of the excavations.
