Can we Consider as Being „Miraculous” the Solutions Suggested by the Laureates of Nobel Prize in Order to Stop the World Economical Crisis
No full textToday we are in a global economic crisis. It is not an economic crisis because of scale, for the worst case there was a recession of a few percent of GDP, but rather because it was consistently induced. The best strategies have been proposed so far are essentially neo-Keynesian, as private demand fell, public expenditure can change aggregate demand to provide a stimulus to the economy. At best, this can provide the necessary infrastructure for positive externalities through network effects, at worst, will only serve as a delay tactic, leading to a greater crisis in the near future. Nobel prizes were created by scientist and businessman Alfred Nobel (1833 - 1896), inventor (1867), which, in his will asked that his immense wealth income are offered each year „awards as the which, in the previous year, brought the greatest service of humanity”. Thus, by the will left by Alfred Nobel, Nobel prizes are awarded to institutions: - Swedish Royal Academy of Science: Nobel Prize in Physics, Chemistry Nobel Prize Nobel Prize in Economics; - Carolina Institute in Stockholm: Nobel Prize for Medicine; - Swedish Academy: Nobel Prize for Literature; - Committee composed of five persons of Parliament of Norway: Nobel Peace Prize Nobel prizes are awarded, so in 1901, except for economics, established in 1968 by the Central Bank of Sweden to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the founding of this institution. More specifically, Nobel Prizes have been awarded since December 10, 1901, after their author's death. They consist of: a medal, a diploma and a sum of money, which at first was worth U.S. 1,000,000. Nobel Prize in cash value increased slightly since 1950, according to the Foundation website. Should mention that The Nobel Foundation has awarded prizes during World War or during World War II. Given these great discoveries of illustrious researchers could find solutions to global economic crisis. If so intense study should find practical solutions and not pure theory which seem to be medalists. Are they able to implement scientifically proven theory?global economic crisis, Nobel Prize, Elinor Ostrom, recesssion
The emblematic statement of the Nobel Peace Prize. Jean Monnet/Robert Schuman Paper Series Vol. 13 No. 1, January 2013
No full textFrom the Introduction. On October 12th the Nobel Committee announced that the annual Nobel Peace Prize would be awarded to the European Union for, “promoting peace, democracy and human rights over six decades”.1 This was a bit of good news for the EU who had produced nothing but bad press with the Euro Crisis, the bailouts of struggling countries like Greece, and protests in the southern member states of Spain, Portugal, and Italy. At such a momentous occasion the EU’s next challenge was to figure out who would be the rightful head of the EU to accept the award. The EU has made their decision by opting to send its top three officials Jose Manuel Barroso the President of the European Commission, Herman Van Rompuy the President of the European Council, and Martin Schulz the President of the European Parliament2 as a sign that the EU is not headed by one person but instead is an supranational economic and political bloc that seeks to unify the European continent. Their symbolic acceptance of the award is in response to what Geir Lundestad, the Secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, called, “an accumulated record.”3 This record has ushered the EU into the international spotlight as a beacon for countries in the EU’s periphery to want to join the bloc

Nobel Laureate Anthony J Leggett: A scientometric portrait
No full textThis paper attempts to analyse the publication productivity of Anthony J. Leggett, the 2003 Nobel Prize winner in physics. His contributions peaked in 1987, 1994, and 1998 with 10 papers each. He had 194 publications during 1964 - 2004 in domains like Superfluid 3He (65), Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (36), Dissipative Quantum Systems (24), Atomic Alkali Gases (18), and Miscellaneous (51)which were analysed for authorship pattern with his 70 collaborators. Most active collaborators with Anthony J Leggett were: A. Garg with six papers and A. O. MCaldeira, D. M. Ginsberg, D. J. Vanharlingen , F. Sols, S.Takagi and D. A. Wollman with five papers each. His productivity coefficient was 0.60 which clearly indicates that his productivity
increased after 50 percentile age. The highest degree of collaboration (1) for Anthony J. Leggett was found during 1964, 1971 and 1983. Journals have been the most preferred channel of communication, where as many as 139 papers out of 194 have been published. The core journals publishing his papers were: Phys. Rev. Leu. (42), Phys. Rev. B (9), J. Low Temp. Phys. (8),Phys. Rev. A (7), Ann. Phys. (6), Foundations of physics (6), J. Phys.(5), Prog. Theor: Phys. (5), and Rev. Mod. Phys. (5).Publication density was 3.02 and publication concentration was 3.59
The search for a formula to make an awkward candidate compatible - the case of Albert Einstein and his Nobel prize
No full textBased in part on my book "Einstein's Nobel Prize. A Glimpse Behind Closed Doors" (2006), the presentation revisits the complicated history of Einstein's road to become a Nobel Laureate. Newer research on the conflict between Einstein and some German physicists like Philipp Lenard has shown that it was not only ideology and anti-semitism that were the sources of attacks on him, especially after the successful solar eclipse experiment 1919. It is found that some older German colleagues felt themselves slighted and de-pedistalized by the relativity theorist's fame and popularity. Jealousy was a further source of antagonism and stigmatization of Albert Einstein as a "publicity-seeking Jew". As for the Nobel Physics Committee there is no evidence that its members were swayed by anti-semitic influences when they chose to dismiss relativity theory as unproven. Their problem was that nominations of Einstein for a prize continually increased so that in the end the Nobel institution needed him more than he needed its recognition. Ultimately a change of the guard in part of the Physics Committee opened the way for a diferent solution, i.e., awarding Einstein aprize for his work on the photoelectric effect. The presentation traces the various conflicts involved in a process extending frm 1910 to 1922 and how Einstein when he finally received word of the award did not respond or acknowledge "the telegram" for many weeks. The situation is compared with the one that arose when Bob Dylan recently recieved a Nobel prize and was silent for some time before acknowledging the award. Some remarks are also devoted to the boundaries between and within disciplines or fields relevant for Nobel prizes and how epistemic "boundaries" change over time, most recently with Dylan's songs now accorded the status of world literature

The Nobel Peace Prize from a Romanian perspective – the interwar period
No full textThe Nobel Prizes are widely regarded as the ultimate achievement by researchers, writers and politicians. Due to its uniqueness and the values it stands for, the Nobel Peace Prize seems increasingly important in the modern world. To this point, no Romanian citizen was awarded this prize, but how many of them were nominated and how close were those nominated to winning this prize? Based on the archives of the Nobel Institute, this paper presents the Romanian nominees during the interwar period, their image and their activity as it appears in the nomination letters. The documents show that the name of some Romanians appears in the letters of nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, their works and ideas being of a real interest. Those who nominated them tried to influence the decisions of the Nobel Committee in favor of their candidate. The results were not positive, but Romanians, the nominees as the nominators, were among those keeping pace with the events, the politics and the peace movements in Europe during a troubled time
