The South Carolina State Library publishes quick demographic brochures for each district in South Carolina for incoming legislature. Each brochure highlights demographics across population, employment, and education.

We have been here before. In 430 BCE, a plague struck Athens, killing as much as 25% of the population. In 1347 CE, the bubonic plague afflicted western Europe for 4 years, killing as much as 50% of the population. The plague of Athens led to a collapse of their religion, cultural norms and democracy. In contrast, the bubonic plague led eventually to the Renaissance, a growth of art, science and humanism. As we contend with the COVID-19 global pandemic, will we become Athens or Florence?

A Florence, "Libertà" est utilisée de façon omniprésente dans la diplomatique, la littérature mémorielle ou la rhétorique humaniste, comme un emblème de la ville, doté de fonctions complexes et présent au sein de stratégies extrêmement hétérogènes. L'objet de cette étude n'est pas de rendre compte de la totalité des fonctions jouées par la " libertas/libertà " dans l'horizon mental des Florentins, mais d'examiner la façon dont la tradition s'élabore chez trois acteurs de premier plan de cette mémoire florentine de la liberté : Leonardo Bruni, Machiavel et Francesco Guicciardini. L'objet est ainsi d'analyser la façon dont opère la valeur traditionnelle de la liberté dans la réflexion politique menée à Florence à deux moments de son histoire, le gouvernement des Albizzi en premier lieu, et le gouvernement des guerres d'Italie ensuite, de 1494 à 1530.

El presente estudio ofrece un acercamiento al entorno de cultura escrita en el que se desenvolvió la enfermera británica Florence Nightingale durante toda su vida, que mostró una pasión creciente por la escritura. Se comunicó a través de cartas con personas de las más altas esferas de la sociedad victoriana (políticos, intelectuales y científicos), además de mantener una estrecha relación con su familia. Compuso y publicó numerosas obras para el ámbito sanitario y utilizó sistemáticamente el poder omnímodo de la prensa para difundir su obra. Contó con la ayuda inestimable de amigos poderosos e influyentes y en la actualidad su legado escrito se encuentra muy disperso por instituciones de distintos países, siendo en la actualidad una parte de él digitalizado y disponible en internet, con lo que su difusión y estudio permite un mejor conocimiento de la personalidad de la ilustre enfermera británica. Su figura traspasó los límites de la práctica enfermera y circuló por buena parte de Europa la imagen de mujer luchadora e incansable por los derechos de la mujer, apareciendo con frecuencia en la prensa decimonónica de España con rasgos de heroína internacional y modelo a seguir. La escritura en todas sus manifestaciones había jugado un papel determinante en la configuración de la imagen de Florence Nightingale. ; This study offers an approach to the environment of written culture in which Florence Nightingale developed throughout her life, showing a true passion for writing.

Love is one of the most important experiences in women's lives. It has been deconstructed by feminism in its romantic and universal facets. Love still engenders damages as well as new kinds of fulfilment and support for women. This thesis claims the importance of love as a political tool, analysing its manifestations in the stories of a group of migrant women squatters in Florence, Italy. This ethnography identifies both old patterns of subjugation disguised as love that women suffer from their partners, as well as new patterns men's power in love takes within the migratory experience. However, this research shows also positive manifestations of love and emotions between empowered women who find the strength to free themselves from their partners' subjugation, and establish a women-only squat. This investigation therefore manages to demonstrate why love is important in connection to migration, a current fundamental geopolitical topic, and how the practice of squatting enables the women I interviewed to fight different layers of stereotypes targeting both migrant women and Muslim women. "Sisterhood", communal maternal practices and new forms of female multicultural cohabitation, despite the precarious and illegal aspects of living in a squat, emerge as the rich findings of my investigation. ; El amor es una de las experiencias más importantes en las vidas de las mujeres. El Feminismo lo ha deconstruido en sus facetas románticas y universales. Así, el amor engendra tanto perjuicios, como nuevas formas de plenitud y respaldo para las mujeres. Esta tesis aborda la importancia del amor como arma política, analizando sus manifestaciones en historias de un grupo de okupas mujeres (Florencia, Italia). Esta etnografía identifica viejos patrones de subordinación, disfrazados de amor, sufridos por las mujeres a cargo de sus parejas, así como nuevas muestras de poder masculino en el amor en contexto migratorio. Sin embargo, esta investigación desvela manifestaciones positivas del amor y emociones que empoderan a las mujeres, quienes encuentran fortaleza suficiente para liberarse de la opresión de sus parejas y establecerse como okupas, sólo mujeres. Por ello, esta investigación demuestra por qué el amor adquiere importancia en relación con la migración, un tema fundamental y actual de carácter geopolítico, y cómo la práctica okupa posibilita luchar contra diferentes estereotipos a las entrevistadas, tanto musulmanas como migrantes en general. Prácticas maternales comunitarias, "hermandades" y nuevas formas femeninas de cohabitación colectiva, aún con precariedad e ilegalidad en la ocupación, son hallazgos muy relevantes de mi investigación. ; Máster Erasmus Mundus en Estudios de las Mujeres y de Género, GEMMA.

In 2020, the Florence School of Regulation (FSR) published a comprehensive study peer reviewing major analyses in the area of energy decarbonisation with the aim of giving a coherent interpretation of their findings.[1] These data were the basis for further investigation of some key metrics for assessing the cost-effectiveness of different decarbonisation options with a view to informing targeted policy on this issue at the level of the European Union (EU). Just over one year on, much has changed, both in the world of energy and more widely. This short follow-up to the original and more comprehensive cost effectiveness study aims to take stock and frame developments in the past months in the context of EU energy policy, and to reassert some of the key messages from the 2020 publication that remain relevant. In so doing, the authors have updated key cost and capacity information according to some of the latest relevant publications, and have reflected on some of the challenges and opportunities presented by wider developments. The purpose of the study is not to propose a specific answer or trajectory regarding the balance of policies to decarbonise the energy sector. Instead, the aim is to highlight some key information relevant to policymakers charting the next energy sector decarbonisation steps.

En el presente artículo se refiere la trayectoria de la Enfermería Militar Española desde el siglo XV hasta inicios del XX, resaltando el auge que tuvo durante el siglo XVIII en el seno del Real Colegio de Cirugía de la Armada de Cádiz, en el que por primera vez en la historia se unificaron los estudios de Medicina y Cirugía en una misma titulación. Se continúa con las innovaciones de las ciencias médicas durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX —en especial en las que se inspiró Florence Nightingale para iniciar su revolución en la Enfermería—, los avatares de los enfermeros militares españoles en el convulso siglo XIX y los avances normativos experimentados tras la Revolución de 1868. Se prosigue con un recuerdo a las Hijas de la Caridad de San Vicente de Paul que llegaron a los hospitales militares en 1870, en una época en la que las infecciones —en especial la tuberculosis— causaban una elevada mortalidad en la población castrense. Se ultima con un homenaje a la enfermería militar y unas conclusiones a modo de reflexiones. ; This article refers to the trajectory of the Spanish Military Nursing from the fifteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century, highlighting the boom that had during the eighteenth century within the Royal College of Surgery of the Cadiz Navy, in which for the first time in history the studies of Medicine and Surgery were unified in the same degree. The innovations of the medical sciences continue during the second half of the nineteenth century — especially those inspired by Florence Nightingale to start her revolution in Nursing—, the avatars of Spanish military nurses in the convulsive 19th century, and the regulatory advances experienced after the 1868 Revolution. A memory continues to be followed by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul who arrived at military hospitals in 1870 at a time when infections, especially tuberculosis, caused high mortality in the military population. It is finalized with a tribute to military nursing and conclusions as reflections. ; Este artigo refere-se à trajetória da Enfermagem Militar Espanhola do século XV ao início do século XX, destacando o boom que teve durante o século XVIII dentro do Colégio Real de Cirurgia da Marinha de Cádiz, no qual pela primeira vez na história os estudos de Medicina e Cirurgia foram unificados no mesmo grau.

The Confederate Graves Survey Archive of the Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans consists of surveys of cemetaries throughout Texas, and portions of Oklahoma and New Mexico. The surveys document the interment of Confederate States of America military veterans. United States of America (Union) veterans, as well as able-bodied men at the time of the Civil War, are also documented. 13 boxes entitled "Grave Surveys" contain grave surveys listed county-by-county, 3 boxes of "Unit Files" list surveyed individuals by their military unit. Finally, 17 boxes contain "Veteran Files" that document each veteran by name in "last name, first name, middle initial" format. An index that cross-references each of the collection series (Grave Surveys, Unit Files, and Veteran Files) is included, as are institutions to surveyors on how and what to document while conducting surveys. ; Grave Survey Results: 1 Marked Confederate, 0 Marked Union, 80 Able Bodied Men, 25 I.D. Confederate, 0 I.D. Union, 26 Total Confederate, 0 Total Union, 26 Non-Veteran, 81 Total Graves Surveyed, 26 Total Veterans.

Introduction In every human community, certain built forms are physical expressions of ways in which people think about their lives together. These forms express beliefs that people share about the world around them; what they expect from each other; what they hope to achieve; the standards to which they hold others responsible and the standards for which they are willing to be responsible themselves; and what they want their peers in certain endeavors and the community at large to believe about them. While homes may make these kinds of statements about individuals, the buildings that will be examined in this study are public buildings. That is, they are intended for use by people who go there regularly or periodically for purposes that they have in common - as opposed to residential buildings, which meet the private needs of individuals or families. These buildings may have occasional use for a larger number of people: a stadium or an opera house, for example. Or they may be institutions central to the way people establish and maintain a community, such as workplaces, hospitals, government facilities, and schools. Public buildings reveal a kind of consensus about what is acceptable in a building to the people who use it. Therefore, these structures - their architecture and, to an even greater extent, their interiors - are a tangible record of who the people were and what was important to them. They are also a record of how such buildings come to be built - who envisions them, who actually designs and builds them, and why. Studying a category of these kinds of public-use built environments - for instance, workplaces - is a layered inquiry that can illuminate not only building and builders, but also the society that desired the outcome and supported the effort to achieve it. In particular, examining processes and technologies as well as materials can reveal aspects of cultural systems, as Joan Vastokas observes, cultural ways - including moral and aesthetic values, art forms, social and ritual performances, as ...
