Funding An Escape: The Purchase Of Karl Wolfskehls Library By Salman Schocken And His Help For Franzisca Baruch, Tomke Hinrichs Jan 2015

Funding An Escape: The Purchase Of Karl Wolfskehls Library By Salman Schocken And His Help For Franzisca Baruch, Tomke Hinrichs

Tomke Hinrichs

Salman Schocken (1877–1959) was the owner of a multicorparate enterprise and a “businessman with art in his soul” as Felix Rosenblüth (1887–1978) said. His manner to handle money and his success in different fields of publishing and collecting rare books made it possible, that he could help other people in times of need. This article deals with two specific cases of funding an escape and helping to save people’s life during the growing power of the National Socialists in 1930s. The way in which he has helped and what was needed of him will be discussed in this paper. The …

Cutting Out Worry: Popularizing Psychosurgery In America, Antonietta Louise Iannaccone Dec 2014

Cutting Out Worry: Popularizing Psychosurgery In America, Antonietta Louise Iannaccone

Antonietta Louise Iannaccone

Contemporary Americans think of the lobotomy as an utterly primitive and brutal form of psychosurgery. The film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, especially, popularized the image of it as a violent form of suppression and mind control. But when it was first introduced, the procedure was considered compassionate, effective, and so delicate it was compared to “cutting through butter.” The therapeutic effect was described as “cutting out worry.” Between 1936 and 1978 it is estimated that 40,000 psychiatric patients received lobotomies in the United States; the procedure was not only tolerated, it was popular. How did it ever gain …


Argument Map: Loewi's Argument That Neuro-Transmission Works With Chemical Signals Instead Of Eletrical (Short Version), Michael Hoffmann Dec 2014

Argument Map: Loewi's Argument That Neuro-Transmission Works With Chemical Signals Instead Of Eletrical (Short Version), Michael Hoffmann

Michael H.G. Hoffmann

This argument shows how the hypothesis that muscles are probably stimulated exclusively by chemical signals and not by electrical ones can be justified by Loewi's experimentum crucis.


Argument Map: Devoloping Scientific Hypotheses And Experimental Designs In Form Of An Argumentation. Loewi's Crucial Experiment On Chemical Neurotransmission, Michael Hoffmann Nov 2014

Argument Map: Devoloping Scientific Hypotheses And Experimental Designs In Form Of An Argumentation. Loewi's Crucial Experiment On Chemical Neurotransmission, Michael Hoffmann

Michael H.G. Hoffmann

This argument map presents Paul Loewi’s crucial experiment in which he showed that neural transmissions of signals are chemical in nature, not electrical, in form of an argumentation. The map can be used in science education to show how the formulation of hypotheses should be related to a corresponding determination of experimental designs.

The Myth Of The Early Aviation Patent Hold-Up – How A U.S. Government Monopsony Commandeered Pioneer Airplane Patents, Ron D. Katznelson, John Howells Mar 2014

The Myth Of The Early Aviation Patent Hold-Up – How A U.S. Government Monopsony Commandeered Pioneer Airplane Patents, Ron D. Katznelson, John Howells

Ron D. Katznelson

The prevailing historical accounts of the formation of the U.S. aircraft “patent pool” in 1917 assume the U.S. Government necessarily intervened to alleviate a patent hold-up among private aircraft manufacturers. We show these accounts to be inconsistent with the historical facts. We show that despite the existence of basic aircraft patents, aircraft manufacturers faced no patent barriers in the market dominated by Government demand. We show that the notion of the aircraft patent hold-up is a myth created by Government officials and used to persuade Congress to authorize eminent domain condemnation of basic aircraft patents. Government officials used the threat …


Performing The Union: The Prüm Decision And The European Dream, Barbara Prainsack, Victor Toom Jan 2013

Performing The Union: The Prüm Decision And The European Dream, Barbara Prainsack, Victor Toom

victor toom

In 2005, seven European countries signed the so-called Prüm Treaty to increase transnational collaboration in combating international crime, terrorism and illegal immigration. Three years later, the Treaty was adopted into EU law. EU member countries were now obliged to have systems in place to allow authorities of other member states access to nationally held data on DNA, fingerprints, and vehicles by August 2011. In this paper, we discuss the conditions of possibility for the Prüm network to emerge, and argue that rather than a linear ascent towards technological and political convergence and harmonisation, the (hi)story of Prüm is heterogeneous and …

Hornos Cerámicos Islámicos En El Tossal De Les Basses (Alicante, España). Islamic Pottery Kilns In The Tossal De Les Basses (Alicante, Spain)., Pablo Rosser Phd., Seila Aixa Soler Pre Phd

pablo rosser

Resumen En el Tossal de les Basses (Alicante), y para final de época islámica (en los siglos XII-XIII), se documenta un asentamiento, con algunos enterramientos, así como dos hornos cerámicos con sus testares. Se trataría de una pequeña alquería dedicada, básicamente, a la fabricación de distintas producciones cerámicas que distribuirían a través de la medina Laqant. Hemos podido, además, documentar un horno, con distintas reparaciones, y la rotura definitiva del mismo. Termina, de esta manera, un dilatado ciclo de producción cerámica en la zona que se viene documentando –por los análisis de pastas- desde época neolítica, si bien por ahora …

Высшее Образование И Наука В России (1890- 1900 Годы): Традиционные «Места Знания», Leonid G. Berlyavskiy

Leonid G. Berlyavskiy

The "revisionist" point of view quite often meets recently on pages of the special literature - in a counterbalance to the former scheme of immemorial opposition of liberal intelligency and the inert bureaucracy, anxious is exclusive preserving of social order both the satisfied stagnancy and darkness of the lowest classes. Last point of view canonised in numerous Soviet works (even with the necessary reservations on liberal incompleteness and potential adoptive «bourgeois intelligency») itself goes back to images of antiautocratic publicism of the beginning of the XX-th century. At the same time this confrontational picture - adjusted for subjectivity of participants …

Роль И Функции Наркомпроса, Leonid G. Berlyavskiy

Leonid G. Berlyavskiy

During the Civil war were designated considerable number of the points of view on problems of interaction of the power and a science, therefore it is represented too to general stated in the late eighties XX cent., at the very beginning of development of a new most extensive material on science stories, a conclusion that in the first decade after 1917 the basis of mutual relations of ideology and science in the USSR was the idea of a "proletarian" science by A.A.Bogdanov. Thus the doctrine of "proletarian science" was developed not only by the leaders of "Proletkult", but also almost …

“The World Must Know What Happened, And Never Forget,” Dwight David Eisenhower, Control Of Masturbation, Missiles, Weapons, And The Holocaust-How Control Of Difference In One Region Can Affect The Whole World, James T. Struck Jan 2011

“The World Must Know What Happened, And Never Forget,” Dwight David Eisenhower, Control Of Masturbation, Missiles, Weapons, And The Holocaust-How Control Of Difference In One Region Can Affect The Whole World, James T. Struck

James T Struck

The world must know what happened here and never forget was Eisenhower's gift to us on seeing the Nazi death camps. Such a policy of telling the world about something can be wonderful to let us understand the world better and horrible in bringing more parties into an action without need. Still, National Socialists stated that they imitated US disability and prison experimentation in Illinois. Telling the whole world about the Holocaust includes telling the whole world about US disability discrimination. Control of masturbation led to sterilization policies throughout the US and expanded into control of difference within National Socialist …

The Historical Sociology Of Muslim Societies Khaldunian Applications, Syed Farid Alatas Jan 2007

The Historical Sociology Of Muslim Societies Khaldunian Applications, Syed Farid Alatas

farid alatas

This article argues that the theoretical perspective on the rise and decline of states developed by 'Abd al-Rahman Ibn Khaldiin (723-808 AH/1332-1406 AD) should not be confined to historical interest but is of relevance for the study of various aspects of the history of Muslim societies. The reasons for the relative neglect or mar- ginalization of Ibn Khaldun as a source of theory to be applied to definite historical empirical situations is partly due to the predominance of Eurocentrism in the social sciences. The manner in which Eurocentrism has defined Khaldunian studies is dis- cussed, but the main focus of …

Leonid G. Berlyavskiy

The Stalin scientific policy of second half 30th years was orientated on formation of the Soviet science as an element of mobilisation social and economic model that assumed: strengthening of command control system by scientific activity, nationalisation of all without an exception of elements of system of the organisation of science, priority of the texnocratic approach, applied science over fundamental, high degree of submission to control to machinery of state is social-humanities, Marxism as scientific methodology, the statement of scientific monopolism, science vulgarization - its simplification on purpose to make accessible to broad masses, admissibility of intervention of political management …

Ibn Khaldun And Contemporary Sociology, Syed Farid Alatas Jan 2006

Ibn Khaldun And Contemporary Sociology, Syed Farid Alatas

farid alatas

This review is focused on a central question: why should a social thinker like Ibn Khaldu¯ n be excluded from the serious study of the history of sociology, sociological theory or historical sociology? A quick review of contemporary histories of social thought and social theory will reveal that very little attention is given to non-western precursors of sociology or non-western social thinkers who were contemporaneous with the European founders of the discipline. Nineteenth- and early 20th-century western sociologists, on the other hand, were more aware of the role of non-western thought in the development of western sociology as a discipline. …
