Project INTELHYB
The project “Intelhyb” is supported by an ERC Advanced Grant allowing exceptional, ground-breaking, high-risk research that opens new directions in the research field of the Erich Schmid Institute of the Austrian Academy of Science. Intelhyb will focus on the design of ground-breaking tailored metallic materials based on intelligent hybrid structures allowing property as well as function optimization. Project aim is the combination of two characteristics: being highly ductile whilst keeping their strength. The result enables metallic materials to be used in further applications like light-weight structures and biomedical materials as implants or stents. Their improved thermal stability and creep resistance of high-temperature alloys allows the use in turbine engines or power plants for energy conversion. Furthermore, as the formed component does not shrink when cooling down, metallic materials find its way into high performance functional applications like biosensors, MEMS/NEMS devices and low-loss transformers

Der heilende Herrscher. Al-Fārābis Fuṣūl Muntaza‛a („Ausgewählte Aphorismen“) im Spannungsfeld von Philosophie, Medizin und Religion. Schwerpunkt: Medizin und Religion
Al-Fārābi is a central figure of political philosophy within the Arabic-Islamic context.Remarkably, the analogy between medicine and politics, the ideal ruler and physician appears repeatedly in his writings, particularly in Fuṣūl Muntaza‛a (“Selected Aphorisms”). The exact relation between medicine, politics and religion in this text has hardly been analysed so far. This article contributes to closing this gap. After a short introduction to al-Fārābi’s biography the article offers an overview of the basic contents and the structure of the “Selected Aphorisms”. The main part analyses the analogies between medicine and politics, the physician and the ruler with a special focus on the Islamic context of the “Selected Aphorisms”. The paper shows that al-Fārābi depicts the ideal ruler as the guardian of the highest virtues and the guarantee of the state’s happiness. He deliberately uses the basic concepts of Galenic medicine for drafting a short vademecum of and for the ideal ruler within his specific historical andreligious context
Post-World War I Children’s Healthcare in Slovenia as Experienced by Angela Boškin, the First Slovenian Nurse. Schwerpunkt: Medikalisierte Kindheiten. Die neue Sorge um das Kind vom ausgehenden 19. bis ins späte 20. Jahrhundert
This paper addresses children’s healthcare in the first post-World War I decade in the area of present-day Slovenia. During a time when school physicians were returning from military service and paediatricians were becoming more active, the first Slovenian home care nurse Angela Boškin played a significant role in caring for infants and mothers as well as in organising and developing the home care service. By analysing her work, this paper will attempt to reconstruct the demanding post-war social conditions which required healthcare improvements for all children.Boškin’s work is distinguished by two key achievements: the establishment of the first Slovenian counselling service for mothers and infants in Jesenice in 1919 which Boškin achieved in cooperation with physicians, thereby laying the foundation for the social and healthcare work of home care nurses. In 1922, she established a children’s shelter in collaboration with Dr. Matija Ambrožič in a rundown and overcrowded orphanage on Bohoričeva Street in Ljubljana that developed into the first childcare institution (Zavod za socialno higiensko zaščito dece), where she worked as the first professionally qualified nurse
