Zwischen Orient und Europa. Orientalismus in der deutsch-jüdischen Kultur im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Eine Einleitung
No full textDer Band hinterfragt den Nutzen des Begriffs „Orientalismus“ zur Erforschung der vielfältigen deutsch-jüdischen kulturellen Beziehungen im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Dabei wird Orientalismus einerseits als postkolonialer Diskurs verstanden, der Identitätskonflikte und Sprachprobleme der jüdischen Diaspora in den Blick nimmt, andererseits als philologische Wissenschaft vom Orient.
Die Beiträge behandeln folgende Fragen: In welchem Maße wurden deutsche Juden vom zeitgenössischen wissenschaftlichen Diskurs über den „Orient“ und den „Orientalen“ beeinflusst bzw. gestalteten ihn mit? Wie tief verinnerlichten Juden die stereotypen Bilder ihrer Umgebung und inwiefern konnten die deutsch-jüdischen Orientalisten diese Vorurteile und deren philosophische Legitimierung wissenschaftlich widerlegen? Wie veränderte sich das Bild des Orients, als viele emigrierte deutsche Juden sich in Palästina mit dem „wahren“ Orient konfrontiert sahen
Una filosofia dell'essere umano dalle fonti dell'ebraismo. Studi in onore di Irene Kajon
No full textCon questa pubblicazione intendiamo rendere un piccolo, riconoscente, omaggio alla figura di Irene Kajon, in occasione del suo settantesimo compleanno. Riconoscente non soltanto perché il suo insegnamento e la sua guida hanno svolto un ruolo decisivo nel nostro percorso di formazione e di ricerca ; ma anche e soprattutto per il contributo profondo e significativo che la sua attività scientifica ha offerto al dibattito filosofico nazionale e internazionale. Prendono dunque la parola, in queste pagine, diverse personalità che hanno accompagnato il lavoro di Kajon lungo il corso degli anni, che hanno collaborato con lei e che ne hanno condiviso gli interessi. I saggi qui raccolti spaziano su alcuni degli ambiti che hanno coinvolto i suoi studi, e abbiamo voluto ricondurli sotto un titolo che – facendo eco alla nota opera di Hermann Cohen – abbraccia i due campi disciplinari forse principali in cui si sono inquadrate le sue ricerche : l’antropologia filosofica e la storia della filosofia ebraica. Nel titolo stesso, abbiamo preferito l’espressione ‘essere umano’ – anziché il non neutrale ‘uomo’ – sia per attenzione alle questioni di genere, sia perché rende manifesto, anche per contrasto, il problema del difficile nesso tra antropologia e ontologia
Study of the ATLAS MDT spectrometer using high energy CERN combined test beam data
No full textn 2004, a combined system test was performed in the H8 beam line at the CERN SPS with a setup reproducing the geometry of sectors of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer, formed by three stations of Monitored Drift Tubes (MDT). The full ATLAS analysis chain was used to obtain the results presented in this paper. The basic design performances of the Muon Spectrometer were verified. The stability of MDT calibration constants, the alignment system using optical devices and high energy tracks, as well as the intrinsic sagitta resolution of the Muon Spectrometer were studied and found to agree with expectations. The reconstruction of muon tracks using the combined information from both the Inner Detector and the Muon Spectrometer are also presented

No full textA Jewish Professor at Sapienza. New Studies on Jacob Mantino (1490-1549) and the History of Jewish Scholarship in Modern European Universities
No full textIn 2021 Sapienza University of Rome funded a research project on Jacob Mantino (Tortosa?,
c. 1490 - Damascus, 1549).1
As part of this project, on 29-30 May 2023 we organized an International
Conference in the Department of Philosophy entitled: Jacob Mantino. Translator, Physician and First
Jewish Teacher at Sapienza. The conference aimed at deepening knowledge of a little-known aspect of
the Italian Renaissance, focusing on Mantino’s biographical and intellectual activity. This topic is of
particular interest in the history of Sapienza University, because Mantino was the first Jewish scholar
to be appointed as professor at the Roman Studium, in the year 1539, under the pontificate of Paul III.
And he was also one of the very few Jewish scholars to teach at a European University before the 19th
century – an extraordinary fact, made possible by the new climate of the Renaissance.
The essays collected here develop the presentations given at the Rome conference, shedding new
light on Mantino’s multifaceted life. They discuss the historical context within which Mantino acted; the
history of the Roman Studium (the forerunner of Sapienza) in the 16th century; the relationship Pope
Paul III had with the Jews; Mantino’s intellectual activity under the papacies of Leo X, Clemente VII and
Paul III, and in the cities of Venice, Bologna, and Rome. They all try to expand on the pioneering essay
by David Kaufmann,2
which is still the only comprehensive biography of this highly-respected Renais-
sance rabbi, physician, collector of rare books and manuscripts, scholar and translator
Aging studies on atlas muon spectrometer Drift Tubes
No full textThe Atlas muon spectrometer relies on Monitored Drift Tubes (MDTs) for track reconstruction in most regions. Expected count rates due to photons reach up to 1500 Hz/cm for the innermost MDTs. For a gas gain of 2 . 10(4) this corresponds to an overall accumulated charge of up to 0.6 C/cm which the MDTs must be able to withstand in 10 years of LHC operation without a degradation in their performance. With the main MDT parameters and the design frozen and chamber production well under way the focus of present aging studies is on testing final Atlas chambers instead of using small, dedicated setups under very well controlled conditions as in the past. This paper summarizes the results of such a study performed at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility GIF, that aims to emulate LHC background conditions. One of the main goals was to evaluate the principle of gas recirculation and a prototype of the Atlas circulation system
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
