Ottomans during the global crises of cholera and plague: the view from iraq and the gulf / Bolaños, Isacar A   Journal Article
Bolaños, Isacar A Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The cholera and plague pandemics of the 19th and early 20h centuries shaped Ottoman state-building and expansionist efforts in Iraq and the Gulf in significant ways. For Ottoman officials, these pandemics brought attention to the possible role of Qajar and British subjects in spreading cholera and plague, as well as the relationship between Iraq's ecology and recurring outbreaks. These developments paved the way for the expansion of Ottoman health institutions, such as quarantines, and the emergence of new conceptions of public health in the region. Specifically, quarantines proved instrumental not only to the delineation of the Ottoman–Qajar border, but also to defining an emerging Ottoman role in shaping Gulf affairs. Moreover, the Ottomans’ use of quarantines and simultaneous efforts to develop sanitary policies informed by local ecological realities signal a localized and ad hoc approach to disease prevention that has been overlooked. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that environmental factors operating on global and regional scales were just as important as geopolitical factors in shaping Ottoman rule in Iraq and the Gulf during the late Ottoman period.

Kuni, Chanchal Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Disaster Management is the discipline of dealing with and avoiding risks. It is a discipline that involves preparing for disaster before it occurs, disaster response (e.g. emergency evacuation, quarantine, mass decontamination, etc.), as well as supporting, and rebuilding society after natural or human-made disasters have occurred. In general, any disaster management is the continuous process by which all individuals, groups, and communities manage hazards in an effort to avoid or ameliorate the impact of disasters resulting from the hazard. Disaster and emergencies appears to be as inevitable as taxes; so too is our on-going effort to cope with them. The ability to cope lies" deep in our primordial past, which has taught us that "organising" is the most efficient and effective means to survive. Sometime due to major accident and leakage the situation become worst for the nearby peoples.

Sterilization and disinfection machines: sanitation and public health in the late Ottoman Empire / Adak, Ufuk   Journal Article
Adak, Ufuk Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article focuses on sanitation technology, particularly sterilization ( etüv makinesi ), and disinfection machines ( pulverizatör ) used at quarantine stations, hospitals, and also mounted on ships and trains to prevent the spread of contagious diseases in the late Ottoman Empire. As a result of the contemporary developments in sanitation technology, the scientific discussions held at the international sanitary and hygiene conferences, and the health inspectors’ reports, the sterilization and disinfection machines became the main tools of Ottoman sanitary reform efforts to protect public health in the late Ottoman Empire. Despite controversies including a dispute between the French Consulate and the Ottoman officials about who owned the patent rights to the machine and the logistical problems related to their distribution, the sterilization and disinfection machines were extensively used against epidemics in the Empire. This article traces how the Ottomans implemented this sanitation technology, first by importing, later ‘re-inventing’, and finally adopting it throughout the Empire in the late nineteenth century.
