The Australian mortality decline: all-cause mortality 1788-1990

This review describes the Australian decline in all-cause mortality, 1788-1990, and compares this with declines in Europe and North America. The period until the 1870s shows characteristic 'crisis mortality', attributable to epidemics of infectious disease. A decline in overall mortality is evident from 1880. A precipitous fall occurs in infant mortality from 1900, similar to that in European countries. Infant mortality continues downward during this century (except during the 1930s), with periods of accelerated decline during the 1940s (antibiotics) and early 1970s. Maternal mortality remains high until a precipitous fall in 1937 coinciding with the arrival of sulphonamide. Excess mortality due to the 1919 influenza epidemic is evident. Artefactual falls in mortality occur in 1930, and for men during the war of 1939-1945. Stagnation in overall mortality decline during the 1930s and 1945-1970 is evident for adult males, and during 1960-1970 for adult females. A decline in mortality is registered in both sexes from 1970, particularly in middle and older age groups, with narrowing of the sex differential. The mortality decline in Australia is broadly similar to those of the United Kingdom and several European countries, although an Australian advantage during last century and the first part of this century may have been due to less industrialisation, lower population density and better nutrition. Australia shows no war-related interruptions in the mortality decline. Australian mortality patterns from 1970 are also similar to those observed in North America and European countries (including the United Kingdom, but excluding Eastern Europe).

Encomenda, uso e coleccionismo de ourivesaria no século XVIII: a Mantearia da Casa de Aveiro em 1752

Neste artigo procuramos analisar a Mantearia da Casa de Aveiro em 1752. Através do inventário mandado realizar pelo 8.º Duque de Aveiro, logo no seu primeiro ano à frente da casa, permite‑se reflectir sobre a importação de obras de luxo dos grandes centros produtores da Europa para Portugal, ao longo do século XVIII: Augsburgo, Roma, Londres e Paris. As obras em prata pertencentes ao Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, tomadas pela Casa Real na sequência do “processo dos Távoras” em 1759, apenas foram encomendadas após a realização deste inventário. Todavia podemos aferir a grande importância da Mantearia dos Duques de Aveiro, pela importância das obras de aparato, de que destacamos o conjunto de centros de mesa, e pelo coleccionismo de ourivesaria antiga, nomeadamente do período da renascença, que gozou de grande prestígio no Portugal de setecentos.
