Mălăiești Roman Fort is one of those forts abandoned by the Roman Army at the beginning of Hadrian’s reign. This reference site has only a very short term occupation between 102 and 118 AD. The research results presented here are based on the processing of the latest geophysical surveys of the site. The measurements were carried out with a 5-probe fluxgate gradiometer. The interpretation of the results was carried out in a comparative way with the research results of the last century (C. Zagoriț’ plan) and also with the results of the recent excavations. The results of the surveys contribute to a better understanding of the internal planning of the Mălăieşti fort. Mainly it is about the structure and configuration of the earthen wall along with the double defense trench system. Our results confirm a part of the visual observations made by C. Zagoriț before World War Two. Based on the dimensions of the fort (160 × 180 m) and on the number (24) and size of the barracks, it can be concluded that either a cohors milliaria peditata or an ala quingenaria, at full strength, was quartered at Mălăieşti.

The issue of migration bridges the divide between short-term and long-term explanations of Brexit.Short-term explanations stress the drift toward a referendum in British politics, the opportunistic miscalculation by a playboy prime minister, and the manipulation of the referendum vote by a grotesquely biased press and some of the same conspiratorial forces which secured Trump’s election. Longer-term explanations point to historical differences between the UK and (the rest of) Europe; the fact that the UK escaped defeat and occupation in World War Two; the distinctive legal system shared by England, Wales, and Northern Ireland (though not Scotland); and the UK’s majoritarian political culture. This chapter discusses in a comparative context. The contribution of a migration crisis to the UK’s EU membership and constitutional .

Disease Mortality

The principal reported causes of death have changed dramatically since the 1860s, though changes in categorization of causes and improved diagnosis make it difficult to be precise about timings. Diseases particularly affecting children such as measles and whooping cough largely disappeared as killers by the 1950s. Deaths particularly linked to unclean environments and poor sanitary infrastructure also declined, though some can kill babies and the elderly even today. Pulmonary tuberculosis and bronchitis were eventually largely controlled. Reported cancer, stroke, and heart disease mortality showed upward trends well into the second half of the twentieth century, though some of this was linked to diagnostic improvement. Both fell in the last decades of our period, but Scotland still had among the highest rates in Western Europe. Deaths from accidents and drowning saw significant falls since World War Two but, especially in the past 25 years, suicide, and alcohol and drug-related deaths rose.
