Creating a new heart : Marcus Ehrenpreis on jewry and judaism
No full textThis dissertation represents the first attempt to take account of the entire Swedish œuvre of Marcus Ehrenpreis and view it as a single, coherent statement, recognizing the very fundamental confrontation taking place between traditional and modern ways of viewing reality and its possible resolution. A reading of his work reveals that the one constant in his life in letters was the struggle to reconcile the apparent logical antithesis of universalism and particularism, which this dissertation sees as one with resonance for all ethnic minorities. In the Chapter One, a general orientation in the modern Jewish world is provided, including the traditional worlds of Orthodoxy and Hasidism into which he was born; the trend toward the political emancipation of the Jews in Western and Central Europe and the subsequent waves of assimilation among young Jews; the exacerbation of antisemitic tendencies in both Eastern and Western Europe; the emergence of Jewish nationalism, commonly known as Zionism; and the renaissance of Jewish culture which crystallized around these events. Chapter Two offers a social and intellectual biography of Ehrenpreis, providing the reader with the relevant information about his youth, organizational efforts, education, and career as rabbi and author, while Chapter Three posits a perspective from which to approach his work, by describing the generational unit to which he belonged and how the concerns of his youth and early adulthood, shared by other Jewish intellectuals born around the same time as he, shaped the problems with which he grappled throughout his life. The generational perspective also allows the fundamental differences between his own generation and the generations before and after his to emerge in bold relief. It is hoped that in employing this perspective, it becomes clear that the accumulated work of Ehrenpreis can be seen as an integrated whole, which came to full expression during his thirty-five years in Sweden. In Chapter Four, Ehrenpreis' definitions of Jewish religion and Jewish culture and the difference between them are explicated, before proceeding to investigate the way in which he thought the essence of these ideas best be mediated - primarily from the pulpit in his sermons and the intellectual periodical in his writings. The latter in particular he found to be an essential tool for disseminating Jewish culture in Sweden, both to Swedish Jewry and the general Swedish public. Chapters Five and Six deal with what Ehrenpreis considered the two major expressions of Jewish culture, literature and historical knowledge, and the roles they played in the formation of a substantive understanding of Jewish culture in the modern world. For him, literature was the bearer of ethics and values and the forum within which these could be transvaluated and made germane to modern man. In his historical writings, he wished to counteract tendencies from within and without the Jewish world which either consigned the Jewish people to the past tense, or overemphasized the role of traumas and catastrophes in its history at the expense of an ongoing, positive and creative Jewish cultural evolution. Chapter Seven concludes the close reading of Ehrenpreis ' Swedish authorship by concentrating on his wartime writings. In referring to the legacy of the Hebrew prophets, the essential cultural values of Jewish tradition as he perceived them emerge: The ideas of social justice, minority rights, and the goal of perpetual peace between nations. He emphasizes their significance for the development of the democratic tradition in Europe as well as their function as the pillars on which the identity of Jews in the modern world could rest. The dissertation closes with a summary of its conclusions.digitalisering@um

No full textAn historical perspective of healthcare disparity and infectious disease in the Native American population
No full textThe incidence and severity of COVID-19 infections have been disproportionately high in Native American populations. Native Americans are a high-risk group for COVID-19 because of a variety of healthcare disparities. Historically, these populations suffered excessively during previous epidemics in the United States (US). Several epidemics occurred when disease-naïve indigenous peoples were exposed to European settlers with herd immunity. Native American populations had four times higher mortality in the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic. Deaths from H1N1 infections were higher in Native Americans and most cases and deaths from the Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) occurred in Native Americans. Other infectious diseases, including HIV, hepatitis A and hepatitis C are more also common. Diabetes, alcoholism and cardiovascular diseases, all risk factors for severity and mortality in COVID-19 infection, are also more common in this group. Addressing the root causes of enhanced risk in Native American populations will improve outcomes from COVID-19 and future pandemics
A conjecture by Leon Ehrenpreis about zeroes of exponential polynomials
No full textThis text is submitted for a volume dedicated to the memory of Leon Ehenpreis (1930-2010).International audienceLeon Ehrenpreis proposed in his 1970 monograph Fourier Analysis in sev- eral complex variables the following conjecture : the zeroes of an exponential polynomial PM 0 bk(z)ei kz, bk 2 Q[X], k 2 Q\R are well separated with respect to the Paley-Wiener weight. Such a conjecture remains essentially open (besides some very peculiar situations). But it motivated various analytic developments carried by C.A. Berenstein and the author, in relation with the problem of deciding whether an ideal generated by Fourier transforms of di erential delayed operators in n variables with algebraic constant coe cients, as well as algebraic delays, is closed or not in the Paley-Wiener algebra b E(Rn). In this survey, I present various analytic approaches to such a question, involving either the Schanuel-Ax formal conjecture, or D-modules technics based on the use of Bernstein-Sato relations for several functions. Nevertheless, such methods fail to take into account the intrinsic rigidity which arises from arithmetic hypothesis : this is the reason why I also focus on the fact that Gevrey arithmetic methods that where introduced by Y. Andr e to revisit the Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem, could also be understood as an indication for rigidity constraints for example in Ritt's factorisation theorem of exponential sums in one variable. The objective of this survey is to present the state of the art with respect to L. Ehrenpreis's conjecture, as well as to suggest how methods from transcendental number theory could be combined with analytic ideas, in order precisely to take into account such rigidity constraints inherent to arithmetics
