Volte Face – Contemporay Medal: the Study of a Collection of Contemporary Medals
This article aims to describe the study carried out of the acquis of contemporary medals of the Volte Face-Contemporary Medal, the former research unit of the Research and Studies Centre in Fine Arts (CIEBA) at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon. They researched on the history of the Volte Face – Contemporary Medals group and the experimental work developed in the study of medallic art. This experimental path led to the appearance of medals with different shapes and sizes, craft in materials of different origins, namely organic (wood, honeycombs, parts of animals), synthetic (plastic, acrylic, wood panels) and inorganic (ceramic and metal), whose characteristics have revealed themselves as a challenge for the acquis conservation and packaging.

1 Can we prevent dementia?
Dr Mukadam completed her Medical Sciences undergraduate degree at Cambridge University with an intercalated BA in Experimental Psychology. She then studied Clinical Medicine at the University of Oxford and trained in general medicine and surgery at Oxford and Newcastle.She completed her psychiatric training on the Royal Free Psychiatric Training rotation and obtained her CCT in Old Age Psychiatry in 2013. Dr Mukadam obtained a doctoral research training fellowship from the NIHR to design and test an intervention to encourage South Asian people to seek help earlier for dementia.During her PhD, Dr Mukadam has collaborated on a number of studies, continuing her interest in inequalities related to ethnicity and expanding her research interests to include the epidemiology of dementia. Dr Mukadam’s postdoctoral work is focused on using inter-ethnic epidemiology to find new ways of preventing and treating dementia.AbstractThere is growing interest in dementia prevention and a number of risk factors have been identified that contribute to developing dementia. In theory tackling all of these risk factors could prevent up to 40% of dementia cases which would reduce the disease burden and in turn reduce social and economic costs of dementia. However, the evidence for how to tackle risk factors and the effectiveness of interventions is mixed. In addition, the relative importance of different risk factors varies by country and within countries, by demographics. By examining all the evidence and its applicability to different settings, we ask ‘can we truly prevent dementia?’
