No full textLa duplice prex del carme 13 di Sidonio Apollinare. Wiener Studien|Wiener Studien 133 133|
No full textThis paper focuses on Sidonius Apollinaris’s poem 13, which consists of 40 verses (10 elegiacs followed by 20 Phalaecian hendecasyllables). The polymetric composition which is addressed to the emperor Majorian, asks for a tax remission in both sections and it is generally dated back to December 458 CE or soon after. In the first part our study aims to support the emendation hic triones proposed by Stefania Santelia instead of the manuscript reading histriones (l. 19), which is emended to Geryones or Geryonen by most editors. In the second part one suggests that the metre changes because the two distinct pleas were composed at different times. It seems most likely that the first part, in elegiac couplets, was written close in time to Majorian’s Panegyric and the second, in hendecasyllables, in 461 CE (here, oddly enough, there is no reference to Majorian’s expedition against Geiseric while, on the contrary, the poet promises to celebrate his victories over the Salian Franks). Probably the first petition had not been accepted by Majorian and when the emperor returned to Gaul from his Vandal campaign, Sidonius composed a new poem in Phalaecian hendecasyllables preceded by the one in elegiacs, which was still unpublished at that time
Die Rettung der Cretinen – Kontexte der Medikalisierung von Kindern mit geistiger Differenz und der Implementierung eines neuen stationären Versorgungselements. Schwerpunkt: Medikalisierte Kindheiten. Die neue Sorge um das Kind vom ausgehenden 19. bis ins späte 20. Jahrhundert
No full textIn 1841 the first institute for cretin children was founded at the Abendberg near Interlaken in Switzerland. Medicine and education working together were to better, if not even cure these little patients. The enormous feedback Guggenbühl’s initiative received as well as the terminological variety to mark mental differences indicate the ambitions to reach a categorizationof intellectual impairment. This development took place within a significantly new atmosphereof charity and humanism being fundamental especially for the protagonists of the movement for so-called “idiots’ institutes” (doctors and educators). At the same time, different attitudestowards mentally impaired children can be outlined as well. This is exemplified by doctors first of all being interested in medical research, but is also been demonstrated by arguments within the communal society. Thus, the “idiots’ institutes” were highly ambivalent: on the one hand they intended to help disabled or impaired children to give them a chance for their future lives within the society – or if unsuccessful, at least shelter and asylum –, on the other hand the hospitalization of such children gave the opportunity to separate and exclude them from social participation

No full textError analysis for regularized multidimensional sampling expansions. ETNA - Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis
No full textAs it is known, the convergence rate of the multidimensional Whittaker-Kotelnikov-Shannon (WKS) sampling series is slow due to the slow decay of the sinc function. In this paper, we incorporate a convergence factor from the Bernstein space into the multidimensional WKS sampling series to establish regularized sampling and a corresponding improved convergence rate. The convergence rate of this regularized series depends on the decay of the convergence factor. Various bounds for the truncation of the regularized sampling series are investigated depending on the convergence factor. Furthermore, we estimate two types of perturbation errors associated with this series. Some numerical experiments are presented
Der Kampf mit den Autoritäten – Cornelis Bontekoe (1647–1685) und Steven Blankaart (1650–1702) als Gegner der etablierten Medizin. Schwerpunkt: Alternative und komplementäre Heilmethoden in der Neuzeit Konzepte sexueller Gesundheit vom Mittelalter bis zum 21. Jahrhundert
No full textCornelis Bontekoe and Steven Blankaart belonged to a new generation of physicians in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century. Using the theories of Cartesianism, they consciously developed a critical attitude towards the authorities of the past. Primarily, it was their ambition to present medical science in a completely new way and to make it accessible to all people, including the interested layman. With that, an innovative vision on the human body and its functions was born. The organism becomes a machine whose life is determined by the activity of the cardiac muscle and great blood circulation. Chemical processes happen in the cardiac veins whose analysis had remained secret to the ancient authorities.In this paper, the work of Bontekoe and Blankaart is analysed by comparing the background of two problems: What was the attitude of the two authors towards the ancient and contemporary authorities and how could the dynamic of their new developed science possibly sweep away even their beloved Cartesian ideas? With which metaphors did the two authors shape a new form of the medical narration which could represent the changes of their science

No full textIn the course of the fighting at the fronts of World War I, the introduction of new projectilesled to an unanticipated number of head injuries, catching the military leadershipand casualty medical support unprepared. Since the military saw the frequency of facialinjuries as an imminent danger to its forces, it determined that specialists were neededto treat facial injuries quickly and effectively.Maxillofacial doctors were confronted with a new situation. On the one hand, due todisfigurements, it became necessary to address psychological issues in treatments, andon the other hand, military leaders demanded treatment methods that would make thelargest number of soldiers fit for battle as quickly as possible. From this point on, medicalactivity was viewed as a quantifiable resource by the military and was actively integratedin warfare.The main question is: How did the injured soldiers deal with disfigurements? A reviewof existing patient files reveals different approaches soldiers took to come to termswith their facial injuries. There were patients whose complete resignation culminated insuicide and others who drafted self-confident designs for living; Franz Zamecnik’s reaction,presented in this essay, is an example of the latter.The soldiers’ and doctors’ perspectives must be assessed against the background ofinstitutional medicine and the military
