„die Kranckheit zum Leibes= und Seelen=Besten überstehen“. Das Medizin- und Therapiekonzept des pietistischen Arztes Johann Samuel Carl (1677–1757). Schwerpunkt: Medizin und Religion
No full textSince at least his attendance of the medical schools at Halle and Strasbourg Johann Samuel Carl had turned to the religious movement of pietism. From 1708 to 1736 he lived and worked in Hessian communities (Büdingen, Berleburg) being influenced by the radical pietisticdoctrine of beliefs. Besides his medical practice within these congregations, Carl published several works containing the ideas of his medical and therapeutic concept during this time.It becomes apparent that all his aspects are based on the religious opinion of radical pietism. This is true for both the meaning of disease in general and an individual aspect in special.In order to commonly work on the recovery of health a special kind of doctor-patient relationship based on informed consent was required. Concerning the therapeutic management, Carl demanded expectative and non-invasive methods, the medication in particular should predominantly refer to simplicia being available in the surrounding areas.The ambivalence of Carl’s concept becomes obvious in the context of medical and scientific discussions of that time. Some elements of this opinion are progressive whereas others seem to be precluding further advance due to contemporary standards

No full textRadkersburg was first mentioned in writing in 1182, while the documentation of its settlement and establishment as a town dates back to 1299. Nearly 120 years later, in 1421, the Hospital of the Holy Spirit was also mentioned for the first time, though this charitable institution may be significantly older. In 1542, its inhabitants were allowed to move into the Augustinian Monastery that had been abandoned during the Reformation, but fires in the years 1595 and 1607 burned the building down to its foundations. Sources from 1595 distinguish between the town hospital and the so-called Grieß hospital in the town’s castle keep below St. Peter’s Church (today Gornja Radgona, Slovenia). This protestant institution of the “griesser”, the inhabitants of the suburbs, was taken over by the city council after they had left and their institution declined. The actual town or public hospital was used by the Capuchins who initiated a new, quiet phase of re-conversion in Radkersburg. Based on a source from the first half of the 18th century, the following investigates to what extent the hospital in Radkersburg was characteristic of the Duchy of Styria and principally served as an old-age home. Although there is no evidence of source materials of the city’s secular foundation charters in the Styrian State Archives in Graz and important questions thereby remain unanswered, the instruction for the hospital master (July 8th 1781), a comprehensive list of those who applied to be submitted to the hospital (104 applicants) as well as further archival sources help to determine the group of people who were primarily taken care of until 1920

No full textIn this essay, the drug is moved from different perspectives to the center of considerations. Drug studies on children in institutional care, different motivations and objectives as well as the interactions of different actors are being shown. The drug is the object of investigation, but also the source of effects on medically, institutionally and economically acting agents and thus the central actor. Children in institutional care were a readily available study population. So they could be tested on the antibody-inducing effect of vaccines. Studies with neuroleptics and sexual drive depressant drugs had no medically indicated target, but were rather “door openers” for the use of these preparations. With these drugs, a better traceability of the “inmates” should be achieved. This served to stabilize the “total institution” children’s home, and thus could be called a “social medication”

No full textThe EU project "SpdTuM" is supported by an ERC Starting 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. The decrease of weight and the increase of efficiency of magnetic components are essential for the reduction of CO2-emission and an improvement of their performance. Nanostructuring can dramatically improve the magnetic properties of soft and hard magnetic materials, hence opening up entirely new possibilities for the development of novel magnets. Nanocomposite magnets, for example, have been the focus of research since two decades. One of the remaining key challenges is to synthesize bulk nanostructured magnets of a reasonable size. In this project, this challenge is explicitly addressed and the potential to fabricate bulk nanostructured magnets by severe plastic deformation (SPD) as an innovative processing route is evaluated. The aim of the project is not only to synthesize different nanostructured magnets by SPD, but also to tailor their microstructure to attain the desired magnetic properties. It has been shown by the applicant that the magnetic properties of SPD processed nanocrystalline materials can be modified in wide range by decomposition of metastable solid solutions. By using different immiscible systems, decomposition mechanisms and annealing treatments, unique nanostructures can be obtained and the magnetic properties can be optimized. Through the choice of different magnetic starting materials, such as soft, hard and antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic powders, different types of hard magnetic nanocomposites will also be obtained. Fine tuning of the microstructure and resulting magnetic properties through adjustments in the composition, SPD processing parameters and annealing treatments is planned. The project systematically addresses the entire process from the synthesis to the in-depth microstructural characterization by electron microscopy and atom probe tomography. In combination with simultaneous measurements of magnetic properties, the newly developed knowledge will be used to improve the performance of SPD processed nanostructured magnet
