Abstract: In an edition devoted to capturing the atmosphere of
interdisciplinarity at Tal-Qroqq, it would be a shame not to first
delve into where this term – discipline – comes from.
Our contemporary meaning has its roots firmly set in several Old
French and Latin terms like: discere (to learn, acquire knowledge),
discipere (to grasp intellectually, analyse thoroughly), discipulus (a
follower or student), and disciplina (training or self-punishment for
the sake of learning). And so, what emerges from these concepts and
uses is the sense that acquiring knowledge requires labour. [excerpt]2025-05-01T00:00:00ZNot lost for words : interpreting in actionhttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/1364492025-06-13T09:35:42Z2025-05-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Not lost for words : interpreting in action

Abstract: On any given day, over 300
million individuals worldwide
menstruate and rely on menstrual
products to collect or absorb their
monthly fluid. The vast majority
use disposable menstrual products.
This widespread use of singleuse menstrual products raises
significant concerns: it contributes
to environmental degradation and
pollution due to their plastic content,
poses potential health risks from
exposure to harmful chemicals, and
exacerbates period poverty because of
the ongoing costs of these products.2025-05-01T00:00:00Z
