La questione dell’arte tra filosofia dei valori e Kulturkritik: su alcuni scritti di Jonas Cohn editi nei primi anni della Grande Guerra (1914-1916),
No full textDomenico Spinosa, The Question of Art between Philosophy of Values and Kulturkritik. On some Writings by Jonas Cohn published in the early Years of the Great War
(1914-1916)
This contribution proposal intends to reconstruct and then examine the reflections that Jonas Cohn elaborates in both the aesthetic spheres in the crucial time
span that goes from 1914 to 1916. As is well known, the Great War represents a
situation exceptional that causes a sort of interruption and traumatic bewilderment destined to profoundly change the neo-Kantian philosophical context and to
initiate from within it processes of revision of predominant themes and directions
already consolidated over time towards a considerable arrangement of new orientations. In this scenario, Cohn takes a position by recovering the theme dear to
him of aesthetics (in fact in 1901 – it is worth remembering – he was the author
of an Allgemeine Ästhetik which remains – it can be peacefully affirmed – the first
systematic work on the theme of the school of Baden) also and above all related to
issues related to the religious. Also for Cohn the foundational plane of reference
on which he argues these positions is that of the “critique of culture” to which the
author will also dedicate an important monograph as early as 1914. This will also
be an opportunity for the author to return to rethinking the notion of value in the
light of the changed historical-epochal situation that sanctions the decline of the
belle époque
Sui limiti della dimostrazione puramente logica del valore estetico nell’Allgemeine Ästhetik (1901) di Jonas Cohn
No full textWindelband’s and Rickert’s disciple, Jonas Cohn (1869-1947), published Allgemeine Ästhetik in 1901. This work has the merit of being essentially the only systematic investigation in the field of aesthetics undertaken by an exponent of the Baden Neo-Kantian school. With its highly rigorous character, on the one hand this work fine-tunes the results of several of Cohn’s previous studies (1894-1900) investigating the problem of beauty and art from a psycho-physiological point of view (openly confronting the composite
currents of art psychology active in his time). On the other hand, Cohn contributes the
problematic perspective of a “normative aesthetics” founding its premises and aims on
the typical principles of the critical philosophy of values. The present contribution strives
to account for the range of the question as it is presented in Cohn’s 1901 volume – where necessary also by drawing attention to some of his writings immediately following it
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
Search for the rare decay D+ -> D(0)e(+)nu(e)
No full textKolcu, Onur Buğra (Arel Author)Using a data set with an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb(-1) collected at root s = 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage rings, we search for the rare decay D+ -> D(0)e(+)nu(e). No signal events are observed. We set the upper limit on the branching fraction for D+ -> D(0)e(+)nu(e) to be 1.0 x 10(-4) at the 90% confidence level
Honoring Dr. Herbert Cohn
No full textOn March 28, Mae Gelb of Scranton, Pennsylvania, celebrated her 100th birthday with close friends and family, including her nephew, Herbert E. Cohn, MD, Anthony Narducci Professor and Vice Chair of Surgery, Jefferson. Mrs. Gelb\u27s life has been nearly as healthy as it is long. Aside from giving birth, her only experience as an inpatient was when, in October 1993, at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, she underwent a major operation performed by then-Samuel D. Gross Professor and Chair of Surgery Francis E. Rosato, MD, with moral support from Dr. Cohn. So many physicians I know have been taught by Herb. Although I didn’t have cancer, I felt quite ill, Mrs. Gelb recalls. My doctor in Scranton – who Herb had once taught – contacted Herb, who said, \u27Get her down to Jefferson by ambulance tomorrow morning!\u27 I was frightened out of my wits, but Herb was waiting for me when the ambulance arrived, and I had my surgery almost immediately. Herb observed as Dr. Rosato performed the procedure. Both of them were wonderful. In January 1994, Mrs. Gelb was able to resume her active schedule of charitable and civic work. She has made generous donations to organizations ranging from Hadassah to Jefferson, through the Gelb Foundation, founded by her late husband, attorney Morris B. Gelb. Morris emigrated from Hungary to the United States in 1912, when he was 8 years old, Mrs. Gelb says. Although his family was poor, he worked hard and graduated in 1929 from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He couldn\u27t wait to pay back the world for his good fortune. Now overseen by Mrs. Gelb\u27s daughters and sons-in-law, Sondra and Morey Myers and Beverly and Jerry Klein, the Gelb Foundation donated generously to the Department of Surgery\u27s Herbert E. Cohn, MD, Residents\u27 Library for the purchase of computers and educational materials, as well as to the Jefferson Breast Care Center, out of gratitude for the care Mrs. Gelb received as well as family pride in Dr. Cohn. So many physicians I know have been taught by Herb, and so many people I know have been helped by him, Mrs. Gelb declares. He’s a fine, charming man with a big heart!
