Margaret Strauss Berman Family Collection 1898-2005
No full textThe papers contained in this collection document part of the lives of several family members of Margaret Strauss Berman. In addition to biographical summaries written by herself, held in Series I, there are photographs, correspondence, newspaper articles, book pages, a diary and further personal documents related to different parts of Margaret Strauss Berman's family.Series II is mainly composed of copies of Ludwig Strauss's papers including personal documents along with newspaper articles on him. Further documents related to the family of Margaret Strauss Berman's mother are held in Series III. Included are papers and photographs of Siegmund Weinberger, Isidor Behr and Alma and Jacob Simon together with a diary of Aron Weiler.Margaret Berman, June 2005Margaret Strauss Berman was born as a daughter of Flora Behr and Karl Strauss in Speyer, Germany in 1922. In later years the family moved to Neustadt an der Weinstraβe, where Karl Strauss taught mathematics and physics at the local school. After 1935 he had to leave school because of a new Nazi legal measure. In 1938, when Margaret was no longer allowed to attend school, her parents sent her to Newark, New Jersey. In the very same year her father Karl Strauss was arrested during the Kristallnacht and sent to Dachau. After his release the family moved to Mannheim. In 1941, they were deported to Gurs and in 1942 to Auschwitz, where they perished.Margaret Strauss Berman's paternal grandparents Klara and Ludwig Strauss lived in Bad Dürkheim. Her grandfather, a teacher at a Jewish school, was president of the Jewish community in the Palatinate, president of the synagogue in his hometown and the conductor of a local chorus. He also was the head of the local Democratic Party and a member of the city council but in 1933 he was forced to renounce his public offices at the instigation of the regional Gauleiter. After Kristallnacht he and his wife Klara moved to Mannheim from where they were deported to Gurs, where they died in 1942.Erna Behr, a sister of Margaret Strauss Berman's mother, was married to Sigmund Weinberger. He had a medical practice in Heidelberg for 30 years, before he immigrated to the United States. One of Margaret Strauss Berman's other relatives, Alma Behr, married Jacob Simon who was wounded in World War I. The couple lived in Homburg until they immigrated to New York. Alma's brother, Isidor Behr, also served in World War I. He perished with his wife and three children in Auschwitz.In the United States Margaret Strauss Berman became a microbiologist. She married and had three children: Charles, Eve and Anne Berman.ProcesseddigitizedBerman, Margaret (nee Strauss), 1922- ; Strauss, Karl, b 1883 ; Simon, Jakob ; Behr famil
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Del pensamiento a la acción: Semblanza de Natalio Berman B., médico, político y escritor
No full textNatalio Berman B. diputado, médico, salubrista y escritor. Inmigró desde la Rusia Zarista a Chile a la edad de 8 años, integrándose rápidamente en la sociedad. Fue líder de asociaciones juveniles israelitas y sionistas en la época en que se formaba la comunidad en el país y posteriormente fue uno de los 3 primeros parlamentarios judíos en Chile, en representación del partido socialista. Se unió al partido comunista, renunciando el año 1952 por motivos ideológicos. De origen humilde, con una vida corta y marcada de los acontecimientos que relatan la historia universal del Siglo XX, su lucha fue la justicia social y su sello el “inconformismo”. Amigo personal de los presidentes Pedro Aguirre Cerda y Gabriel Gózales Videla; camarada de quien sería posteriormente presidente Salvador Allende y del Premio Nobel de Literatura Pablo Neruda. Su brillante carrera se vio mutilada por su precoz fallecimiento a la edad de 48 años, en 1957. Durante la época militar que vivió el país su legado fue olvidado, siendo rescatado a través de un proceso de investigación familiar y de historiadores de la política chilena. El Objetivo del presente manuscrito es revisar la semblanza de este gran personaje a partir de sus escritos autobiográficos, políticos y filosóficos
Calculating the Galois Group of Y′===AY+++B,Y′===AY Completely Reducible
No full textAbstractWe consider a special case of the problem of computing the Galois group of a system of linear ordinary differential equations Y′=MY, M∈C (x)n×n. We assume that C is a computable, characteristic-zero, algebraically closed constant field with a factorization algorithm. There exists a decision procedure, due to Compoint and Singer, to compute the group in case the system is completely reducible. Berman and Singer (1999, J. Pure Appl. Algebr., 139, 3–23) address the case in which M= [yjsco5390x.gif M 1 * 0 M 2 ], Y′=MiY completely reducible for i= 1, 2. Their article shows how to reduce that case to the case of an inhomogeneous system Y′=AY+B, A∈C (x)n×n, B∈C (x)n, Y′=AY completely reducible. Their article further presents a decision procedure to reduce this inhomogeneous case to the case of the associated homogeneous system Y′=AY. The latter reduction involves using a cyclic-vector algorithm to find an equivalent inhomogeneous scalar equation L(y) =b,L∈C(x)[ D ], b∈C (x), then computing a certain set of factorizations of L in C(x)[D ]; this set is very large and difficult to compute in general. In this article, we give a new and more efficient algorithm to reduce the case of a system Y′=AY+B,Y′=AY completely reducible, to that of the associated homogeneous systemY′=AY. The new method’s improved efficiency comes from replacing the large set of factorizations required by the Berman–Singer method with a single block-diagonal decomposition of the coefficient matrix satisfying certain properties
Bohemian finds of stove tiles with the signature "HANS BERMAN"
No full textThe article looks at one phenomenon of material culture of 16th century in Europe - stove tiles produced by Hans Berman workshops in central Germany. The finds of renaissance stove tiles with the signature and the date - "HANS BERMAN 155X" or "HANS BERMAN 1562" are known from the area of today's Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Sweden (south), the island part of Denmark and Latvia (Riga). From Bohemia and Moravia these stove tiles were not yet published. In 2007 in collection of Regional Museum in Teplice two complexes of fragments of stove tiles with signature HANS BERMAN 155X were detected. Later similar fragments have been found on the other Bohemian sites. Most of them are located in northern Bohemia (Bílina, Krupka, Prosetice, Teplice), and two sites in eastern part of the country (Dvůr Králové nad Labem, Pecka). Frontal parts of these stove tiles are decorated with 6 various reliefs - "Adam and Eve and the Tree of Life", "Crucifixion of Jesus Christ", portraits - "elector Maurice of Saxony", "August of Saxony", an "unknown nobleman" and "Architecture - church window". It has been newly shown, that production of Hans Berman workshop was in 16th century also distributed to the Bohemia

Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe
