    The internationally renowned author of numerous novels, essays, and articles, Georg Hermann, was born as Georg Borchardt in Berlin-Friedenau on October 7, 1871, the youngest of six children in a well-established Jewish family. Later in life he used his father’s first name Hermann as his surname when writing. Contrary to the expectations for a young man from a reputable family, Hermann did not pursue the Abitur exam in a Gymnasium (secondary school), but instead received a one-year certificate in 1890, leaving school to become an apprentice salesman at a tie company. From 1896 until 1899 he worked in the Statistical Office of Berlin, at the same time attending literature and art history lectures at the University of Berlin. Afterwards he worked as a freelance writer and art critic.His first book, 'Spielkinder', was published in 1896, but he did not become well-known until 1906, with the publication of 'Jettchen Gebert', followed by its sequel, 'Henriette Jacoby'. These novels told the story of the life of a young woman living in Jewish Berlin during the Biedermeier period of the 1820s and 1830s. Politically active, Georg Hermann was also a member of the Central-Verein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens.Having become known for his pacifist tendencies through his writing, and because of his Jewish heritage, Georg Hermann and his family fled to Holland shortly after the burning of the Reichstag in 1933. Although the rest of his family was saved from the Nazis after their occupation of Holland in 1943, Georg Hermann was sent to the Dutch concentration camp of Westerbork. On November 16, 1943 he was transported to Auschwitz and either died during transport or shortly after his arrival.Digital ImageRecord added to DigiTool. Aleph record suppressed. J.

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia, Florianópolis, 2010O tema desta dissertação é o valor intrínseco e sua aplicabilidade no contexto da bioética ambiental. Discute-se, sobretudo, as concepções de valor intrínseco apresentadas por Ronald Dworkin, Peter Singer e Holmes Rolston III. Tais autores possuem concepções de valor intrínseco diversas e delas realizam diferentes usos e aplicações, o que origina o problema desta pesquisa, levando-nos a questionar se tais concepções de valor intrínseco realmente são suficientes para se propor uma teoria bioética ambiental. A hipótese considerada é a de que dependendo do conceito e do uso da expressão "valor intrínseco", a concepção adotada pelos filósofos não é suficientemente adequada para fundamentar ou, pelo menos, apoiar a construção de uma proposta de ética ambiental que garanta individualmente igual proteção às mais diversas formas de vida. Assim, o objetivo consiste em analisar diversos usos e aplicações de concepções de valor intrínseco na ética prática e, mais especificamente, verificar os limites dessas concepções na sua aplicação no contexto de teorias bioéticas. A partir disso, aponta-se para uma concepção de "valor inerente" para a qual uma ética ambiental genuína deve voltar-se, sem descartar as contribuições de Dworkin, Singer e Rolston III. Para tanto, defende-se a importância de superar uma visão representacionista de mundo, segundo a qual os seres humanos são concebidos enquanto entidades separadas do restante do mundo natural, substituindo-a por uma concepção de natureza que entende os seres humanos como parte do mundo natural, que, por sua vez, é continuamente construído pela interação mente e mundo

    This paper identifies some of the decisive aspects of Georg Trakl’s poetry, taking as the starting point the author’s awareness about God’s death, from Nietzsche’s approach. Emphasis is placed on melancholy, support of the creation, testimony and acknowledgement of failure and grief of mankind, from which the author was able to express his discouragement upon the downfall and decline of the West.Se identificaron algunos aspectos determinantes de la obra poética de Georg Trakl, tomando como punto de partida la conciencia del escritor acerca de la muerte de Dios, desde la perspectiva de Nietzsche. Se hizo un énfasis sobre la melancolía, soporte de la creación, testimonio y reconocimiento del errar y el duelo del hombre, a partir de la cual el autor pudo expresar el desconsuelo por la ruina y el ocaso de Occidente

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) Competency and Educational Needs: Results of an AI Survey of Members of the European Society of Pediatric Endoscopic Surgeons (ESPES)

    No full text
    Background: Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are set to revolutionize healthcare, particularly in fields like endoscopic surgery that heavily rely on digital imaging. However, to effectively integrate these technologies and drive future innovations, pediatric surgeons need specialized AI/ML skills. This survey evaluated the current level of readiness and educational needs regarding AI/ML among members of the European Society of Pediatric Endoscopic Surgeons (ESPES). Methods: A structured survey was distributed via LimeSurvey to ESPES members via email before and during the 2024 Annual Conference. Responses were collected over four weeks with voluntary, anonymous participation. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: A total of 125 responses were received. Two-thirds (65%) of respondents rated their AI/ML understanding as basic, with only 6% reporting advanced knowledge. Most respondents (86%) had no formal AI/ML training. Some respondents (31%) used AI/ML tools in their practice, mainly for diagnostic imaging, surgical planning, and predictive analytics; 42% of the respondents used these tools weekly. The majority (95%) expressed interest in further AI/ML training, preferring online courses, workshops, and hands-on sessions. Concerns about AI/ML in pediatric surgery were high (85%), especially regarding data bias (98%). Half of respondents (51%) expect AI/ML to play a significant role in advancing robotic surgery, oncology, and minimally invasive techniques. A strong majority (84%) felt that the ESPES should lead AI education in pediatric surgery. Conclusions: This survey presents the ESPES with a unique opportunity to develop a competency map of its membership’s AI/ML skills and develop targeted educational programs, thus positioning the society to take the lead in AI education and the advancement of AI solutions in pediatric endosurgery
