No full textAltmann tells the story of the Jewish community in Nikolsburg starting in 1370. He focuses specifically on the history of the Altmann family, especially Siegfried Altmann's grandparents. The second part of the manuscript deals with stories of Rabbi Mordechai Benet (1753-1829) as told to the author by his grand-aunt.See also archival collection.Altmann was born in Nikolsburg (Maehren) in 1887 and died in 1963 in New York. He was the director of the Institute for the Blind "Hohe Warte" in Vienna.see archival collection AR 1788Benet, MordechaiWalter, BrunoNikolsburg (Moravia)digitize
Stolen Art and Sovereign Immunity: The Case of Altmann v. Austria
No full textPart I of this Article will briefly recount the principal facts of Altmann v. Republic ofAustria. Parts II through IV will then address the principal arguments that Austria has raised against the application of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, namely: 1. That the FSIA would have an impermissible retroactive effect if it were to be applied to Altmann\u27s claims arising from operative facts that occurred before both the effective date of the FSIA and the 1952 Tate Letter; 2. That the conduct of the Nazi regime and its agencies and instrumentalities in World War II, including Austria, in no way would have defeated the expectations of these state parties that they would receive immunity from prosecution in foreign courts; 3. That application of the FSIA in Altmann will open the door to subjective, inconsistent, and unpredictable applications of the FSIA in future cases
Fashion Culture: Fashion Metropolis Berlin
No full textBerlin was a fashion capital in the 1920s, with hundreds of thriving clothing manufacturers, most of them Jewish, before it was decimated by the Nazis. Author Uwe Westphal shares this history in a discussion with FIT historian Keren Ben-Horin and journalist Jennifer Altmann, whose grandfather ran one of Berlin’s fashion houses.Organized in partnership with the Museum at Eldridge Street
Network propagation of rare variants in Alzheimer's disease reveals tissue-specific hub genes and communities
No full textState-of-the-art rare variant association testing methods aggregate the contribution of rare variants in biologically relevant genomic regions to boost statistical power. However, testing single genes separately does not consider the complex interaction landscape of genes, nor the downstream effects of non-synonymous variants on protein structure and function. Here we present the NETwork Propagation-based Assessment of Genetic Events (NETPAGE), an integrative approach aimed at investigating the biological pathways through which rare variation results in complex disease phenotypes. We applied NETPAGE to sporadic, late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), using whole-genome sequencing from the AD Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort, as well as whole-exome sequencing from the AD Sequencing Project (ADSP). NETPAGE is based on network propagation, a framework that models information flow on a graph and simulates the percolation of genetic variation through tissue-specific gene interaction networks. The result of network propagation is a set of smoothed gene scores that can be tested for association with disease status through sparse regression. The application of NETPAGE to AD enabled the identification of a set of connected genes whose smoothed variation profile was robustly associated to case-control status, based on gene interactions in the hippocampus. Additionally, smoothed scores significantly correlated with risk of conversion to AD in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) subjects. Lastly, we investigated tissue-specific transcriptional dysregulation of the core genes in two independent RNA-seq datasets, as well as significant enrichments in terms of gene sets with known connections to AD. We present a framework that enables enhanced genetic association testing for a wide range of traits, diseases, and sample sizes
Primate Life Histories and Socioecology
No full textWe know a great deal about roles the environment plays in shaping survival, reproductive success, and even social systems among primates. But how do primate life histories affect social systems and vice versa? Do baboons' patterns of growth, for example, help to structure their societies? Does fission-fusion sociality interact with predator pressure to influence the timing of maturation in chimpanzees? Exploring these issues and many others, the contributors to Primate Life Histories and Socioecology provide the first systematic attempt to understand relationships among primate life histories, ecology, and social behavior conjointly. Topics covered include how primate life histories interact with rates of evolution, predator pressure, and diverse social structures; how the slow maturation of primates affects the behavior of both young and adult caregivers; and reciprocal relationships between large brains and increased social and behavioral complexity. The first collection of its kind, this book will interest a wide range of researchers, from anthropologists and evolutionary biologists to psychologists and ecologists.

Economics in Persian-period biblical texts : their interactions with economic developments in the Persian period and earlier biblical traditions
No full textLarge-scale economic change such as the rise of coinage occurred during the Persian-dominated centuries (6th –4th centuries BCE) in the Eastern Mediterranean and ancient Near East. How do the biblical texts of the time respond to such developments?
In this study, Peter Altmann lays out foundational economic conceptions from the ancient Near East and earlier biblical traditions in order to show how Persian-period biblical texts build on these traditions to address the challenges of their day. Economic issues are central to the way that Ezra and Nehemiah approach the topics of temple building and of Judean self-understanding. Economic terminology and considerations also appear in Second Isaiah and the “Holiness Code.” Following significant interaction with the material culture and extra-biblical texts, the author devotes special attention to the ascendancy of economics and its theological and identity implications as structuring metaphors for divine action and human community in the Persian period.
