Between the time the first Nobel Prize was awarded in 1901 and 1933, a total of 31 were awarded to German scientists and politicians. To name just a few, Wilhelm Röntgen (1901), Max Planck (1918), Albert Einstein (1921) and Werner Heisenberg (1932) for Physics, Emil Fischer (1902), Fritz Haber (1918), Walther Nernst (1920) and Hans Fischer (1930) for chemistry, Emil von Behring (1901), Robert Koch (1905) and Otto Warburg (1931) for medicine, Theodor Mommsen (1902), Gerhart Hauptmann (1912) and Thomas Mann (1929) for literature and Gustav Stresemann for peace. The UK and France received 17 and 15 respectively, whilst the US picked up just 6 during that same period. How could German universities rise to such dominance during the 19th and early 20th century from very humble beginnings? That is what we will look at in this episode.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

On this episode of Reaganism, Reagan Institute Director of the Center for Civics, Education, and Opportunity Daniel M. Rothschild is joined by Dr. Samuel Gregg who serves as the Friedrich Hayek Chair in Economics and Economic History at the American Institute for Economic Research. They discuss the current state of free markets in America, emphasizing the critical choices facing the nation in the upcoming election. They explore the intertwining of economic, moral, and cultural dimensions in shaping public policy and the role of civil society. Dr. Gregg highlights the importance of historical figures like Wilhelm Röpke in understanding the foundations of economic freedom and critiques the welfare state while advocating for a revival of civil society to address genuine needs. The discussion also touches on the responsibilities of businesses in society and the need for a long-term perspective in political and economic discourse.

  We've had more guest mixes than usual the last 6 months and that is a great thing because it means we all get to hear some amazing music and amazing mixes like this one.  This new mix comes from Matthew Ramolo, who records as Khôra. There is a new Khôra album that just dropped in April called "Gestures of Perception" and is described this way - "The album weaves ritualized instrumentals with alien textures and resonant melodies, inviting listeners to transcend into uncommon consciousness." You can find the new album here - https://khora.bandcamp.com/album/gestures-of-perception-3 I was unfamiliar with the music of Khôra, but one listen to the new album and I was all in for a guest set. This mix is so very propulsive, it draws you in and drives you forward with layer upon layer of rhythmic intensity.  Here's what Matthew says about this mix: "This assemblage of material was selected primarily on the basis of substantiating the sonic and conceptual universes that my most recent Khôra release is in lineage with. The vast majority of the pieces presented are percussive or propulsive, but also circular in nature and in one respect I was seeking a fundamental rhythmic presence or energy among my troves of collected music that could be traced across various artists and presented as a single typology or modality that tenders itself in various guises through a cast of contemporary and historical voices. Functionally, the mix pursues a particular genealogy of percussive music across various genres, cultures, histories, technologies, and interpretations which initiates a kind of meditative dancing. Within the outline of this non-linear genealogy, ancient ritualistic and tribal tendencies flower within the unconscious regimes of the body even as the mind and body are provoked to find new appreciations and applications for these emboldening forms of musical intelligence which persist through time but are mutated, conditioned, and understood by the nuances of the listener and their temporal circumstances." Thanks to Matthew for putting together this unique journey. His album is out on the Marionette label and you can find more of their fine releases here - https://marionettelabel.bandcamp.com/   Cheers!   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00 Khôra - Flux and Hieroglyph (Gestures Of Perception 2024) 06:45 Cyclopean - Fingers (Cyclopean 2013) 12:21 The Dwarfs of East Agouza - Resinance (Bes 2019) 15:12 The Comet Is Coming - Journey Through The Asteroid Belt (Channel The Spirits 2016) 20:30 Muslimgauze - Caste the First Stone - (Salaam Alekum, Bastard 2020) 24:44 Love-Songs & Ulf Schütte - Dumpfes hämmerndes Dröhnen (Spannende Musik 2021) 29:29 Various - Radio Delhi #1 (Radio India: The Eternal Dream Of Sound 2004) 32:04 Uwalmassa - Belit (Malar 2022) 36:00 Kilchhofer - Karon ( The Book Room 2018) 39:28 De Leon - A2 (De Leon 2018) 44:44 Khôra - In Petrified Light (Gestures Of Perception 2024) 49:50 Joyfultalk - Kill Scene (Plurality Trip 2018) 53:42 Jon Iverson Meets Prins Emanuel, Golden Ivy & Inre Kretsen Grupp - Drum Steel (Jon Iverson Meets Prins Emanuel, Golden Ivy & Inre Kretsen Grupp 2023) 58:21 D.K. - Going Into Trance (The Goddess Is Dancing 2019) 1:04:15 Antonio Zepeda - Danzando en El Templo Mayor (Templo Mayor 1982) 1:07:30 23 Skidoo - Coup De Grace (Urban Gamelan 1984) 1:09:07 Holden - Blackpool Late 80s (The Inheritors 2013) 1:17:24 Autechre - known (1) (Oversteps 2010) 1:22:00 Stephan Micus - Passing Cloud (The Garden Of Mirrors 1997) 1:27:07 Tomaga - Idioma (Intimate Immensity 2021) 1:31:10 Shabaka - Ital Is Vital (Afrikan Culture 2022) 1:35:35 Roberto Musci - Claudia, Wilhelm R, and Me (The Loa Of Music 1984) 1:38:38 Khôra - Golden Femur (Gestures Of Perception 2024)

La découverte des rayons X est attribuée à un physicien allemand, Wilhelm Röntgen (1845 – 1923). En 1895, alors qu'il travaille sur les rayonnements émis par un tube de Crookes, il s'aperçoit qu'un flacon contenant du platinocyanure de baryum émet une fluorescence lorsque le tube est sous tension. En utilisant une plaque imbibée de ce produit chimique et en plaçant divers objets entre le tube et la plaque, Röntgen constate qu'une ombre des objets se reproduit sur la plaque avec une opacité qui varie selon la matière dont il est constitué.En plaçant une main entre le tube de Crooks et la plaque, il obtient le premier cliché radiographique de l'histoire.Les expériences de Röntgen sont rapidement reproduites par les chercheurs du monde entier et de premiers usages médicaux, autres que radiographiques, voient le jour. C'est ainsi qu'en juillet 1896, quelques mois après la découverte des rayons X par le physicien allemand, qu'un médecin lyonnais, Victor Despeignes, utilise ces rayons pour traiter un patient qu'il croyait atteint d'un cancer de l'estomac : c'est la première radiothérapie de l'histoire.Mon invité du jour, Nicolas Foray, est radiobiologiste, directeur de l'Unité U1296 « Radiations : Défense, Santé Environnement » de l'INSERM. En 2021, il a publié un livre aux Editions Glyphe qui retrace la biographie de ce pionnier lyonnais : "Victor Despeignes ou le premier traitement du cancer par rayons X". Il y détaille les expériences de Victor Despeignes qui, malgré une erreur de diagnostic et un rejet, par ses pairs, des résultats qu'il obtint, peut être considéré comme le premier radiothérapeute de l'histoire.Retrouvez le site internet et les réseaux sociaux de l'Apothicast sur https://linktr.ee/apothicast !

For this episode of Acton Line, Dylan Pahman, the editor of the Journal of Markets and Morality and a research fellow here at Acton, speaks with Alexander Salter. Salter is the author of the recent article "Free Enterprise and the Common Good,“ published at the Heritage Foundation. The article has generated a lot of buzz, particularly online, where the Salter's ideas have been the subject of much debate. Before delving into specific questions about the article and its reception, we start with some definitions to clear the air: What is common-good capitalism? What is the common good? And what is the difference between the "science" of economics and the "art" of political economy? They then explore how the author's article has been perceived within the context of the Heritage Foundation's recent changes, as well as how their ideas diverge from those of other national conservative economic proposals. They also discuss the influence of Roman Catholic social thought on the author's ideas, and the ways in which the Swiss German ordoliberal economist Wilhelm Röpke has shaped their thinking. Finally, we look at the concept of industrial policy and how it fits into the author's vision of common-good capitalism.Subscribe to our podcastsApply Now for Acton University 2023Free Enterprise and the Common Good: Economic Science and Political–Economic Art as Complements | The Heritage FoundationPhoto Credit: ASSOCIATED PRESS Hosted on Acast.

Ninety years ago today, Wilhelm Röpke confronted an audience in Frankfurt am Main about where Hitler was leading Germany.

One of America's success stories is its economy. For over a century, it has been the envy of the world. The opportunity it generates has inspired millions of people to want to become American.Today, however, America's economy is at a crossroads. Many have lost confidence in the country's commitment to economic liberty. Across the political spectrum, many want the government to play an even greater role in the economy via protectionism, industrial policy, stakeholder capitalism, or even quasi-socialist policies. Numerous American political and business leaders are embracing these ideas, and traditional defenders of markets have struggled to respond to these challenges in fresh ways. Then there is a resurgent China bent on eclipsing the United States's place in the world. At stake is not only the future of the world's biggest economy, but the economic liberty that remains central to America's identity as a nation.But managed decline and creeping statism do not have to be America's only choices, let alone its destiny. In his new book The Next American Economy: Nation, State, and Markets in an Uncertain World (2022), Samuel Gregg insists that there is an alternative. And that is a vibrant market economy grounded on entrepreneurship, competition, and trade openness, but embedded in what America's founding generation envisaged as the United States's future: a dynamic Commercial Republic that takes freedom, commerce, and the common good of all Americans seriously, and allows America as a sovereign-nation to pursue and defend its interests in a dangerous world without compromising its belief in the power of economic freedom.Samuel Gregg is Distinguished Fellow in Political Economy at the American Institute for Economic Research, and an Affiliate Scholar at the Acton Institute. The author of 17 books—including the prize-winning The Commercial Society (Rowman &Littlefield), Wilhelm Röpke's Political Economy (Edward Elgar), Becoming Europe (Encounter), the prize-winning Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization (Regnery), and most recently, The Next American Economy: Nation, State, and Markets in an Uncertain World (Encounter), as well as over 400 articles and opinion-pieces—he writes regularly on political economy, finance, American conservatism, Western civilization, and natural law theory.

Am 10. Februar 1923 verstarb in München einer der großen Revolutionäre auf dem Gebiet der Wissenschaft: Conrad Wilhelm Röntgen. 1895 war ihm die Entdeckung der „X-Strahlen“, wie er sie nannte, mit der ersten Aufnahme, die die Hand seiner Frau durchleuchtete, gelungen. Diese epochemachende Veränderung der medizinischen Diagnostik brachte ihm den ersten Nobelpreis für Physik im Jahre 1901 ein. Wir bringen in der heutigen Folge den Nachruf aus dem Berliner Tageblatt vom 12. Februar, den der Leiter der Röntgen-Abteilung des Virchow-Krankenhauses in Berlin und Pionier der Röntgenologie Max Levy-Dorn verfasste. Er verweist neben dem Beitrag zur Wissenschaft auch auf den wohltätigen Sinn Röntgens, da dieser auf eine Patentanmeldung der Röntgenstrahlen verzichtet hatte, um die Erfindung möglichst schnell den Patienten zu Gute kommen zu lassen. Die Tatsache, dass die Gefahren, die von der Strahlung ausgehen, nicht genügend bekannt waren, nahm dem Verfasser des Nachrufs wenige Jahre später das Leben. Paula Leu liest.

In unserer Sendung „Vorträge und Veranstaltungen“ dokumentieren wir die Freiheitsfeier des Liberalen Instituts. Sie fand am 30. November in Zürich statt. Wir bringen Ansprachen und Vorträge anlässlich der diesjährigen Verleihung des Wilhelm-Röpke-Preises an den Journalisten Dominik Feusi. Das Institut wurde 1979 als Stiftung gegründet und setzt sich seitdem für freiheitliche Ideen und Themen ein. Es verleiht seit 2010 jedes Jahr im Dezember den Wilhelm-Röpke-Preis. In diesem Jahr erhielt den Preis der Journalist Dominik Feusi für seinen Einsatz „für Freiheit, Subsidiarität, Privateigentum und Markt“. Feusi schreibt unter anderem regelmäßig für das Onlinemagazin „Nebelspalter“.

Brave New World - Reflections on Humanity by Aldous Huxley Huxley is often called one of the brightest minds of the last century, and I gladly agree. His probably best known book is "Brave New World" about society in the year 2540. In the future peace and freedom have finally become reality (or does it only seem so?). The painful experiences of a long war have produced a particular form of community that constantly disperses and primitively distracts itself with sex, consumption, and a new drug within a caste system (sound familiar?). The world is run by a single government, procreation takes care of breeding centers for humanity. Encouraged to promiscuity, marriage and family were abolished, people are "bred" in constant quantity. Yes, distraction, that seek today also the most! No matter whether cell phone, face book, television or cinema, we can be sprinkled so gladly, only not think, gladly still a few beers (if I already hear the belittlement (*chen), I drink NO alcohol), drugs are there now at each corner (also intoxicating means are TABU for me). This brave new world of Aldous Huxley I can highly recommend to everyone as reading, the way of life presented here is exactly the opposite of Buddha's teachings, enlightenment. In Huxley's utopia, people enjoy themselves to the bitter end and are distracted from reality. Isn't this kind of distraction too similar to the way people will live in 2020, have Aldous Huxley's visions of the future perhaps already arrived today? And do we really want to live like this, distracted, drugged up and remote-controlled? Constantly on the lookout for the next kick? A bit more brutal, a bit more perverted, more sugar, more drinks, stronger drugs, further, higher, harder, more boom? I for one don't want that! I don't like this brave new world in 2020, I find it artificial, alien, harmful. I like the way of the Buddha, the attitude of the holy man impresses me. Yes, everyone should be happy in his own way, I don't see the brave new world of Huxley as utopian at all. Many have already accepted this world as their new home. I, for one, do not want to go there. According to the historical Buddha, emptiness is form and form is emptiness. Art is the governor of utopia - Max Frisch - Swiss architect and writer - 1911 to 1991 Progress is only the realization of utopias - Oscar Wilde - Irish writer - 1854 to 1900 Socialism is not a utopia but a tragedy, that is the point today - Wilhelm Röpke - German economics professor - 1899 to 1966 Copyright: https://shaolin-rainer.de (Please also download my app "Buddha-Blog English" from the Apple and Android stores) Please rate us on Apple, Google, or Spotify podcast to help us promote the show

On Episode 10 of the Stroke Alert Podcast, host Dr. Negar Asdaghi highlights two articles from the November 2021 issue of Stroke: “Biomarkers of Coagulation and Inflammation in COVID-19–Associated Ischemic Stroke” and “Treatment-Associated Stroke in Patients Undergoing Endovascular Therapy in the ARUBA Trial.” She also interviews Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston about “Ischemic Benefit and Hemorrhage Risk of Ticagrelor-Aspirin Versus Aspirin in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack.” Dr. Negar Asdaghi: 1) What is the net ischemic benefit derived from combination of ticagrelor and aspirin treatment in patients with mild ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack? 2) Is the ischemic stroke in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 associated with the rise in biomarkers of inflammation and coagulopathy? 3) What are the characteristics associated with periprocedural stroke in patients treated endovascularly for an unruptured AVM? We'll discuss these topics and much more at today's podcast. Stay with us. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Welcome back to the Stroke Alert Podcast. My name is Negar Asdaghi. I'm an Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and your host for the monthly Stroke Alert Podcast. For the November 2021 issue of Stroke, we have a large selection of topics, from peanut consumption reducing the risk of ischemic stroke, and the decline in the rate of progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients on a Mediterranean diet, to how the efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy diminishes in patients with more pervious thrombus composition, which I encourage you to review in addition to our podcast today. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Later in the podcast, I have the distinct honor of interviewing Dr. Claiborne Johnston from Dell Medical School at UT Austin on his latest work with data from the THALES trial to clarify the net ischemic benefits derived from a combination of ticagrelor and aspirin therapy in comparison with the risks of hemorrhage associated with this treatment in patients with mild and moderate stroke and TIA. But first with these two articles. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        COVID-19–associated ischemic stroke, or CAIS, is a new term that, unfortunately, stroke physicians need to be familiar with. While acute ischemic stroke can occur in parallel from, say, traditional causes of stroke in patients infected with coronavirus, ischemic stroke and other thrombotic events, such as myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and acute limb thrombosis, can occur in the setting of overt hyperinflammation and subsequent coagulopathy that is observed in patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 illness. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Elevated D-dimer, although quite non-specific, has emerged as a marker of COVID-19–associated coagulopathy, but whether an elevated D-dimer in isolation or in combination with various other inflammatory and coagulation markers is associated with development of acute in-hospital ischemic stroke in those hospitalized with COVID is not known. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        So, in the current issue of the journal, in the article titled "Biomarkers of Coagulation and Inflammation in COVID-19–Associated Ischemic Stroke,” Dr. Charles Esenwa from the Department of Neurology at Montefiore Medical Center and colleagues did an interesting analysis of over 5,000 patients with COVID-19 who were admitted to one of the Montefiore Health System hospitals between March 1, 2020 and May 8, 2020. This was a retrospective analysis, so they had to work with the available biomarkers for each patient and use a machine learning cluster analysis of these biomarkers to divide the patients basically based on five biomarkers to four clusters. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        The following five biomarkers were chosen by this machine learning cluster analysis. These included CRP, D-dimer, LDH, white BC, and PTT. So, they had to come up with some arbitrary rules to exclude biomarkers that were either missing in over 30% of their population, and they also excluded those patients that were hospitalized for a long period of time, and they chose a 30-day hospitalization and over. And they also only used the first reading for each biomarker. Again, these were arbitrary rules that were set forth by the authors, and they found some alarming findings. When they clustered patients based on similarities in these biomarkers, they came up with predicted models for combined thrombotic events and acute ischemic stroke. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        For example, in the cluster where the patients had the highest mean values for CRP, D-dimer, LDH, and white BC, and a relatively low PTT, these patients had the highest prevalence of acute ischemic stroke. They had the highest prevalence of in-hospital strokes and severe strokes and highest percentage of total thrombotic events. In contrast, the cluster with the lowest mean of all of these five biomarkers had no cases of in-hospital acute ischemic strokes; they had the lowest prevalence of composite, all thrombotic events, and patients had the least severe complications. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        So, they also tested the effects of biomarkers individually for prediction of acute ischemic stroke. And it turns out that when they used a lone marker, only D-dimer again was associated with acute ischemic stroke. Very interestingly, D-dimer was specifically elevated in those COVID-19 patients in whom the stroke was ultimately classified as cryptogenic. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        So, what does that mean? That means that it's more likely that a stroke had occurred in the setting of severe COVID-19 hyperinflammatory response, and less likely associated with other classical causes of stroke. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        So, what did we learn overall from this study? Well, hospitalized COVID-19 patients with a combination of high CRP, D-dimer, LDH, and white BC, and slight reduction in their PTT, had a 4.5-fold increase in the risk of in-hospital mortality and a fivefold increase in the risk of in-hospital stroke as compared to the COVID-19 patients with the lowest mean values for all the five biomarkers mentioned above. So, important information to keep in mind as we treat hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and we await more prospective data on this topic. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Arteriovenous malformations, or AVMs, are congenital vascular lesions that are associated with long-term excess mortality and morbidity, essentially almost all related to their risk of intracerebral hemorrhage. Roughly half the patients with brain AVMs present with intracerebral hemorrhage, resulting in a first-ever hemorrhage rate of about 0.5 per 100,000 person years. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Annual risk of hemorrhage is estimated at 1 to 4% for all comers with AVMs, but varies significantly, and can be as low as 0.9% in patients with unruptured, superficially located brain AVMs with superficial drainage, but may be as high as over 34% in patients with ruptured, deeply seated brain AVMs with deep venous drainage. So, treatment would entirely be dependent on the type of presentations and characteristics of each patient with an AVM. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Whether unruptured AVMs should be managed clinically or treated either endovascularly or surgically is the subject of the ARUBA trial that is a randomized trial of unruptured brain AVMs. The enrollment of ARUBA was halted by the study's DSMB board, but medical management was found to be superior to treatment arm for the primary outcome of symptomatic stroke and death. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Since then, there's been a lot of focus in the literature and comparison of outcomes between treated and untreated patients with unruptured AVMs, but less has been published on characteristics of patients who suffered from periprocedural stroke, an important part of the primary outcome of ARUBA. So, in the current issue of the journal, we have the study titled “Treatment-Associated Stroke in Patients Undergoing Endovascular Therapy in the ARUBA Trial.” Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Dr. Joshua Burks and colleagues from the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Miami and colleagues evaluated 64 patients with unruptured AVMs enrolled in the ARUBA trial who underwent endovascular treatment as part of the trial and looked at the characteristics of those who suffered a perioperative stroke, defined as a stroke recorded at or within 48 hours of intervention, as this would represent a direct procedure-related complication rather than sequelae of, say, treated or partially treated AVM itself. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        All patients who initiated endovascular intervention, including attempted interventions in cases where therapy was aborted secondary to technical or anatomical limitations, were included regardless of randomization or subsequent withdrawal from the study beyond 48 hours following the intervention. So, what they found was that 16% of interventions resulted in stroke, 11% hemorrhagic, and 5% ischemic strokes. And they had no perioperative mortality, which is good news. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        In univariate analysis, they found many factors that were more commonly seen in patients that suffered from perioperative stroke as compared to those who did not have a stroke perioperatively. Those factors included, for instance, female sex. Over half of these patients were female. Close to half were enrolled in France. And over 40% of those who suffered a stroke in the perioperative timeframe had Spetzler-Martin grade two AVMs. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        When they accounted for all confounding variables, they found that endovascularly treated unruptured AVMs that are supplied by the posterior cerebral artery cortical feeders and those with Spetzler-Martin grade two and three had a higher perioperative stroke risk as compared to their counterparts without these characteristics. Interestingly, there are also significant geographical disparities in the risk of stroke in that patients treated in the United States or Germany had a significantly lower stroke risk than patients treated in other countries. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        So, what did we learn from this study? There are patients and lesion characteristics that increase the risk of stroke associated with endovascular treatment of unruptured AVMs. The current study suggests that AVMs with cortical arterial feeders from posterior cerebral artery and those with grade two and three Spetzler-Martin were associated with a higher risk of procedural and periprocedural stroke. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        And very importantly, as with every surgical intervention, the risk of a procedure is operator-dependent, as well as center-dependent. And these are important factors to keep in mind as technology evolves and more treatments become available to decide whether to keep or to refer patients with unruptured AVMs to a more experienced center. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Patients with mild ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack are at high risk of having recurrent ischemic events, especially in the immediate aftermath of their symptom onset. Early diagnosis and initiation of secondary preventive measures, such as antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapies, in the appropriate setting considerably reduce this recurrent risk. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Multiple randomized trials have shown that as compared to treatment with a single antiplatelet agent, dual antiplatelet treatment is more effective in reducing the risk of stroke and other major vascular events in the TIA mild stroke population, a benefit that comes with an expected increase in the risk of hemorrhage. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        THALES trial is one of the latest trials to determine the efficacy of dual, which is combination of ticagrelor and aspirin, versus mono-antiplatelet therapy, that is aspirin alone, in eligible patients with non-cardioembolic acute ischemic stroke and TIA. Now, it's important to keep in mind that the primary outcome of THALES is a composite of stroke or death, which included both ischemic and hemorrhagic events. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Now, it's important to understand that while in the setting of a clinical trial, combining the risks associated with dual antiplatelet therapy, which is hemorrhage, and the potential treatment benefit, that is reduction of recurrent ischemic events, is appropriate as part of the outcome selection. In routine practice, this type of primary outcome can obscure the actual trade-offs between the benefits of dual antiplatelet treatment and its inherent hemorrhagic risk. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        So, in this issue of the journal, in the study titled "Ischemic Benefit and Hemorrhage Risk of Ticagrelor-Aspirin Versus Aspirin in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack," the THALES investigators led by Dr. Claiborne Johnston sought to separate the ischemic benefits of combination of ticagrelor and aspirin therapy from its hemorrhagic risks in patients enrolled in the trial. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        I'm joined today by Professor Johnston to discuss the findings of this paper. Dr. Johnston absolutely needs no introduction to the stroke community and our readership. He's a Professor of Neurology at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin. He's a leader in the field of cerebrovascular disorders, has served as the primary investigator of multiple randomized trials and large prospective studies to evaluate the preventive treatment outcomes in TIA and mild stroke, and has pioneered the development and validation of predictive models for recurrent stroke in this population. He's authored over 700 peer-reviewed manuscripts, has won several awards for research and teaching, and is recognized for his leadership in the field of medicine and healthcare. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Good morning, Clay. We're delighted that you could join us on the podcast. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           Well, thank you. It's wonderful to be here. Thank you for having me. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Thank you. So, THALES is an exciting new addition to the most recent trials of dual antiplatelet therapy that studied mostly the role of clopidogrel and aspirin combination therapy. Can you please start us off by telling us why did we need a new trial in a very similar patient population? Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           Well, the primary reason was, yes, clopidogrel works in combination with aspirin in the setting, but clopidogrel is actually a prodrug. It requires conversion in the liver to its active form. And polymorphisms in CYP2C19 and Cyt P450 pathways are really common and associated with an inability or limited ability to convert that prodrug into its active form. So, there are a number of people who may not benefit much, if at all, from clopidogrel. So, it's kind of surprising that it works as well as it does. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           Ticagrelor doesn't have that problem. It's not a prodrug. It acts directly on the P2Y12 inhibitor. And so, the hope was that we would have a more consistent and pronounced effect on risk reduction in patients after TIA and mild to moderate strokes. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Primary efficacy outcome in THALES was different from the primary efficacy outcome chosen for the POINT trial, that was major ischemic events and death from ischemic vascular events, and that of the CHANCE trial, that was a combination of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes in 90 days. Can you please tell us about the thought process behind choosing this particular primary efficacy outcome in THALES? Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           Yeah, so this was encouraged by the regulatory authorities. And so the primary efficacy outcome in THALES is all stroke, hemorrhagic and ischemic, and all death, hemorrhagic and ischemic. And we teased apart just the ischemic etiologies in POINT. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           The rationale was that we were including all the major outcomes that the drug could impact. The problem is that people forget that it includes hemorrhagic events, and then they weigh that efficacy outcome against the safety outcome. And so there's confusion. There's sort of double-counting of safety elements in doing that comparison. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Okay, great. And now, before we hear about how you disentangled the two safety and efficacy outcomes, can you please remind our listeners about the primary results of THALES, which was published obviously a few months ago? Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           Yeah, sure. So, it showed that the combination of ticagrelor and aspirin works. It reduced the stroke and death by about 17% over the 30-day period of treatment. So robust effect. There were some increased hemorrhages, and looking at severe hemorrhage as defined by the GUSTO definition, there was almost a fourfold increase, but it was tiny in absolute terms of 0.4% increase. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Okay. So, now it's very important, as you mentioned, this disentangling of recurrent ischemic, again, safety from efficacy outcomes. Your current study that is published in the November issue of Stroke clarified these results. And we're excited to hear about those results. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           That's right. So, there were two problems with the way people have interpreted the results of the THALES trial. One is this entanglement of safety events and both efficacy outcome and the safety outcome. The other was the use of relative risks as opposed to absolute risks, because a high relative risk for a rare event is less important than a small relative risk for a more difference between more common events. And so we wanted to deal with both of those issues. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           So, we defined new outcomes that were not entangled. So, we defined major ischemic events, similar to what we had done in POINT, and then we defined major hemorrhage as being basically irreversible hemorrhage, and compared outcomes in the two groups. And what we found was that when we did it that way, for every 1,000 patients treated, we avoided 12 major ischemic events and produced three major hemorrhages. So, about a four-to-one ratio of ischemic benefit to hemorrhage risk. And that was true at various cutpoints for disability. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           So, if we said, "Okay, yes, you had an event, and are you disabled at last follow-up at 30 days?" Then if we said that, there was also a four-to-one difference in disabling events, ischemic versus hemorrhagic. And if we said a two or greater, so moderate disability or worse, it was the same ratio, four-to-one. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Okay, so four-to-one ratio of benefit. That's an important number to keep in mind. Also reassuring to see that this net clinical benefit or net clinical impact of the combination of therapy was practically the same across all the pre-specified subgroups in the trial. Were you at all surprised by the subgroup analysis? Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           Well you know if you do enough subgroup analyses, you're going to find differences, right? And thankfully, we have the looking at interaction terms to keep us honest, but even so, you look at 20 and you're going to have some significant interaction terms, as well. But yeah, it was reassuring that the effects were so consistent across groups. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           I think there's been a tendency to over-interpret results from subgroup analyses. We don't have any evidence to suggest that we should be doing that here. I'm sure we can pick out groups that do better, and we've done that actually. The group with atherosclerosis does particularly well, but is that a chance event or is that real? I think we just have to be super-cautious about subgroup analyses. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        So, absolutely. One of the subgroups that I'm personally very interested in is just the time subgroup. So, all of the patients in THALES were enrolled within the first 24 hours, and the subgroup analysis did not show that there were any differences in terms of the net benefit between those that were enrolled earlier, within the first 12 hours, and those that were enrolled later, between 12 and 24 hours. But in routine clinical practice, we often see patients with TIA and mild stroke actually presented to us later than that timeframe entirely. Should we be giving them dual antiplatelet treatment? Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           That's a great question. So, we did an analysis in POINT where we modeled out, would we still have an important significant net benefit if we had started the trial later? And we didn't start the trial later, right? So, this was just pretending like anybody who had an event early on was not in the study in starting at a later timepoint and modeling that out. And basically what we found was that for out to three days, there was still a benefit. And, in fact, if you look at that data and look at those tables, you could even say, even out to five days. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           I would say it's not unreasonable to do that given that the risks are so small and they're going to be even later with later treatment. But I would say, too, that even though we're not seeing greater impact within that first 24 hours versus 12 to 24, it just makes sense with event rates being as great as they are early on that if you don't treat with a preventive medication before an event occurs, it doesn't work. So, it just makes sense that as much as possible we ought to treat people as early as possible after their events. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Very important findings and things to keep in mind. I want to ask you about the top two takeaway messages from the study. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           One is that there's a favorable benefit-to-risk ratio for ticagrelor/aspirin in mild to moderate actually ischemic stroke and high-risk TIA from THALES. So that would be number one. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           And then number two is watch your endpoints carefully. Think carefully, too, about whether balancing safety to efficacy events really makes sense and also whether focusing on relative risks really makes sense. I would encourage us, even though our journals tend to push us towards relative risks and we're more familiar with those, I'd encourage us to get more comfortable with using absolute risks in the way we look at data, but also in the way we talk to patients about their impact. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Fair enough. I remember a few years ago, you visited us here at the University of Miami to deliver the annual Cerebrovascular Scheinberg Lecture. And you had mentioned that the idea of dual antiplatelet therapy treatment of patients with TIA mild stroke had come to you many years back when you were still in training, but it took many years for that idea to turn into reality, into randomized trials, and now translated into clinical practice. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        At the time, if you recall, this was right before you went to Europe to present the primary results of POINT at the European conference. And the trial results were not publicly available, so you were sworn to secrecy. You couldn't tell us about the results. It's been a few years since then. You've already completed yet another trial on this topic. Can I ask what's next for you and your team as it pertains to acute treatment of patients with TIA and mild stroke? Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           Well, there are a few things. So, CHANCE-2 is a really interesting trial. My role in that was peripheral, just really advisory, but it's an exciting trial. So, basically it's looking at people with those CYP2C19 polymorphisms that I mentioned before, people who don't rapidly and readily convert clopidogrel to its active form, and randomizing them to clopidogrel versus ticagrelor. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           So, it's going to give us some head-to-head data on the two drugs and the people who may benefit the most from ticagrelor. And that is complete, and that will be published in the next few months. So, I that's going to be an important trial in people's thinking about how best to approach these patients. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           The second is, you know, we're not done. We still have a 5% risk of events, even in those three dual antiplatelet therapy. And so we need more agents. And we need to think about secondary prevention extending to other groups as well, just as you said, longer periods of time, more severe strokes, people after thrombolysis/thrombectomy. Those are big groups of patients at extreme risk for secondary events, and we have no agents and no data right now. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           I would be concerned about dual antiplatelet therapy in those patients, just given what we've seen about the risks of hemorrhage in the existing groups, which are again manageable and shouldn't change people's decision about treatment. But for the groups I just mentioned, risks of hemorrhage start to get greater. And so one worries about whether dual antiplatelet therapy's the right thing or whether other agents make more sense. So, yeah, we're interested in looking at other agents, some novel, for those other indications as well. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Professor Johnston, thank you for your time, and we look forward to covering more of your research in the future. Dr. S. Claiborne Johnston:           Well, thank you. It's been a pleasure. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Thank you. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        And this concludes our podcast for the November 2021 issue of Stroke. Please be sure to check out the November table of contents for a full list of publications, including two important topical review articles, one on thrombus composition after thrombectomy, and one on pearls and pitfalls of perfusion imaging in acute ischemic stroke, as advanced neuroimaging continues to play a critical role in decision-making for acute stroke therapies. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Now, speaking of advanced neuroimaging and the immense role that neuroimaging plays in our day-to-day practice, let's take a moment as we end our November podcast to remember how the concept of medical imaging first began over 120 years ago with the discovery of X-ray by German professor of physics Wilhelm Röntgen. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        On Friday, November 8, 1895, while experimenting with electricity, Röntgen accidentally discovered a new kind of rays that he referred to as X-rays. He soon realized that X-rays were capable of passing through most substances, including the soft tissues of the body, but left bones and metals visible. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        One of his earliest photographic plates of his experiments was a film of his wife Bertha's hand with her wedding ring clearly visible. This was the first time that the inside of human body was seen without performing surgery. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        From Röntgen's first X-ray image to the advanced neuroimaging that we review today on our portable devices, I can't help but wonder, what will your accidental discovery on a Friday fall afternoon in November do to advance the field of science and stroke 100 years from now, as we continue to stay alert with Stroke Alert.

Mitschnitt vom 28. September 2021 aus dem Seniorenklub, Münzenbergsaal Berlin Als "Boten des Unglücks" bezeichnete der Flüchtling Bertolt Brecht sich und seinesgleichen, denn Geflüchtete zeigen die planetarischen Konflikte auf - von pandemischer Armut und globaler Ungleichheit über ausufernde Kriege bis hin zur Klimakatastrophe. Am Beispiel der Türkei wird das dargestellt und diskutiert. Die Veranstaltung schlägt einen Bogen von den Flüchtlingen während der Nazidiktatur, von denen gerade die politisch Verfolgten oft zurückkehrten, zu denjenigen aus unseren Tagen. Nach 1933 gingen etliche Intellektuelle und Spezialisten in die türkische Republik. Während Ernst Reuter, Wilhelm Röpcke oder Clemens Holzmeister bei der Modernisierung halfen, waren die allgemeinen Einwanderungs- und Transitquoten so niedrig, dass die Auflösung des Rückstaus von Flüchtlingen 200 Jahre gedauert hätte. Durch das Anwerbungsabkommen mit der Türkei entwickelte sich vor 60 Jahren, kurz nach dem Mauerbau, Westberlin zur drittgrößten türkischen Stadt und die Weichen zum Einwanderungsland Deutschland wurden gestellt. Heute kommen hochgebildete Türken ins deutsche Exil während - nach Angaben der UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe - die Türkei zur gleichen Zeit weltweit das Land ist, in dem die meisten Vertriebenen und Geflohenen leben. Dafür bezahlt die EU den türkischen Staat, der Oppositionelle einsperrt oder zur Flucht zwingt. Über die Remigranten früherer Tage verfasste der Historiker Prof. Mario Keßler etliche Publikationen. Dr. Achim Engelberg erzählt in seinem aktuellen Buch "An den Rändern Europas" auch von der Flucht in die und aus der Türkei, darunter die Geschichte seines Vaters, des Historikers Ernst Engelberg.

La Rechazaron por Ser Mujer y Revolucionó El Mundo de La Ciencia | La Historia de Marie Curie ¿Quién fue Marie Curie y cuáles fueron sus aportes a la humanidad? En 1891, una joven polaca apasionada por la ciencia decide emigrar a Paris para poder estudiar en la universidad debido a que en su país las mujeres tenían prohibido acceder a educación superior. 20 Años más tarde, se convirtió en la primera persona en recibir dos Premios Nobel en distintas especialidades, tras revolucionar el mundo con importantes descubrimientos en los campos de la física y la química… ¿Cómo lo logró? La protagonista de esta historia es Maria Salomea Skłodowska, más conocida como Marie Curie, quien nació el 7 de noviembre de 1867 en Varsovia, Polonia, un territorio que en aquella época era administrado por el Imperio Ruso. Maria fue la quinta y la menor de las hijas del matrimonio de Władysław Skłodowski, un profesor de enseñanza media de Física y Matemáticas; y Bronisława Boguska, una pianista, cantante y maestra de música. LA HISTORIA DE MARIE CURIE, LA MUJER QUE REVOLUCIONÓ EL MUNDO DE LA CIENCIA: 00:00 - ¿Quién fue Marie Curie? 01:00 - Infancia y adolescencia de Marie Curie 05:42 - Emigrando a París en busca de oportunidades 10:32 - Las investigaciones de Marie Curie sobre sustancias radioactivas 14:32 - El descubrimiento del Polonio y el Radio 18:51 - Logros y retos de Marie Curie 22:26 - La primera persona en recibir dos Premios Nobel en distintas especialidades 26:10 - Marie Curie en la Primera Guerra Mundial 30:19 - Muerte, legado y aportes de Marie Curie En 1885, Maria se disponía a estudiar ciencias en un instituto de educación superior, pero esto no le fue posible porque el Imperio Ruso años atrás había prohibido que las mujeres fueran a la universidad. Al no poder acceder a educación superior formal, encontró la solución en la denominada “Universidad Flotante”. Mientras estudiaba allí, se propuso junto con su hermana Bronisława ir a París para ingresar a la Universidad de La Sorbona. Para finales de 1891, la joven Maria ya había juntado lo suficiente, así que emprendió su viaje a la capital francesa. En 1893, obtuvo su título de Licenciatura en Física. Luego, inició sus estudios de Licenciatura en Matemáticas. En 1894, logró obtener su segundo título e inició su carrera científica. Durante ese mismo año, conoció a Pierre Curie, un físico e instructor de la Escuela Superior de Física y de Química Industriales de París (ESPCI). Él se convertiría en una de las personas más importantes en su carrera y en su vida. El interés que ambos tenían por la ciencia los unió y se volvieron amigos rápidamente. Poco a poco comenzaron a trabajar juntos y terminaron enamorándose. La pareja contrajo matrimonio el 26 de julio 1895. El siguiente reto profesional que se propuso Marie fue conseguir un doctorado en ciencias. Para hacerlo, tenía que elegir el tema de su tesis. La inspiración le llegaría a partir de dos acontecimientos de la época: el descubrimiento de los Rayos X por Wilhelm Röntgen y la observación de Henri Becquerel de que los minerales que tenían uranio emitían unos rayos de naturaleza desconocida. A través de sus experimentos notó que la magnitud de los rayos producidos por los minerales que contenían uranio no se correlacionaba directamente con la presencia del uranio, por lo que probablemente estaban presentes otros elementos aún no determinados. También, planteó la hipótesis de que dicha radiación no era el resultado de una interacción de las moléculas, sino que provenía del propio átomo, refutando así la antigua suposición de que los átomos eran indivisibles. Luego de moler y procesar toneladas de pechblenda con la ayuda de su esposo, al fin hallaron lo que estaban buscando. Se trataba de un elemento aún no conocido al que llamaron “Polonio”, en honor al país natal de Marie. Este nuevo elemento fue presentado en julio de 1898. El 26 de diciembre de 1898, anunciaro

Savaşlar, tarih boyunca insanlığa keder ve yıkım getirmiştir. Ancak insanların ve ülkelerin maddi ve manevi sınırlarının test edildiği böylesi kriz dönemleri, bilimsel atılımların da hız kazanmasına yol açmış, kan naklinden rekonstrüktif cerrahiye, protezlerden yeni nesil tedavilere kadar bugün kullandığımız bir çok teknoloji savaş dönemlerinde filizlenmiştir. Bilim alanında güçlü olan ülkeler, savaşlarda daha uzun süre ayakta kalabilmiş ve geliştirdikleri teknolojilerle savaşlardan daha az hasarla çıkabilmişlerdir. Radyolojinin temelleri ve ilk röntgen hakkında hepimiz bilgi sahibi olsak da, savaşlardaki ilk kullanımının bu topraklarda gerçekleştiğini bilmeyenlerimiz veya Dr. Esad Feyzi'yi tanımayanlarımız vardır sanıyorum. Bu yazımızda, Türkiye'de Radyolojinin kuruluşunda önemli bir rol oynayan Dr. Esad Feyzi'den ve “Radyolojiyi Savaş Meydanına Taşıyan Savaş”tan bahsedeceğiz. İlk Röntgen İlk röntgen görüntüsü Wilhelm Röntgen, 27 Mart 1845'da Prusya'da doğar. Zürih Politeknik Üniversitesinde eğitim alır ve makine mühendisi olarak mezun olur. 1890'larda bir çok araştırmacı gibi “Crookes tüpü” ile çalışmalar yapar. Tüpün siyah bir karton ile kaplı olduğunda bile 2 metre uzaktaki bir baryum platinosiyanid sarılı kağıtta parlamaya yol açtığını fark ederek, “X ışını” adını verdiği yeni bir ışını tanımlar. O an farkında olmasa da, Tıp dahil olmak üzere bir çok bilim dalında çığır açacak bir buluşa imza atmıştır. 28 Aralık 1895'de bu önemli keşfini resmi olarak duyurur. Deneyler sırasında parmaklarının yoğun radyasyona maruz kalmasına bağlı olarak parmaklarını kaybeder. Yabancı Cisimler Cihazı X ışınlarının keşfinden sadece birkaç ay sonra, Osmanlı Devleti'nde de Röntgen cihazı yapılarak kullanılmaya başlanır. 1896 yılında “La Semaine Médicale” adlı Fransız tıp dergisinde X ışınları üzerine hazırlanan detaylı yazıyı okuyan tıbbiye son sınıf öğrencisi Esad Feyzi ve Rıfat Osman, büyük bir heyecan duyar ve Mekteb-i Tıbbiye-i Askeriye-i Şahane fizik laboratuvarında, Crookes Gazlı Katod Işını Tüpü ve Ruhmkorft Bobini ile laboratuvarda yaptıkları pilleri kullanarak “Yabancı Cisimler Cihazı” olarak adlandırdıkları basit bir Röntgen Cihazı yaparlar. O dönemde Askeri Tıbbiye Mektebi'nin adli tıp ve halk sağlığı analizlerinin yapıldığı Kimya Laboratuvarında talebe asistanı olarak görev yapan Prof. Dr. Akil Muhtar Özden bu olaya bizzat şahitlik eder. Prof. Dr. Akil Muhtar Özden'den iki sınıf büyük olan Esad Feyzi, Fizik laboratuvarında talebe asistanı olarak görev yapmaktadır. Bir gün heyecanla Kimya laboratuvarına gelir ve hocalarına “Aman Efendim, Fizik Laboratuvarında iyi bir Crookes tüpü ile güzel bir Rhumkoff bobini duruyor. Sizde kuvvetli bir elektrik pili bataryası var. Müsaade ederseniz bu reyonu (ışını) burada yapalım” der. Teklifi hemen kabul edilir. Kimya laboratuvarının küçük bir odasında cihaz hazırlanır. İşlemler bittiğinde denenir ve başarıyla görüntü elde edilebildiği görülünce dünyalar bu genç tıbbiyelilerin olur. X ışınlarının keşfinden sadece birkaç ay sonra İstanbul'da ilk tıbbi radyolojik görüntülemeyi, 22 yaşında bir Tıbbiyeli başarmıştır. Osmanlı-Yunan Savaşı Aradan bir yıl geçer. Türk-Yunan sınırında ciddi bir gerilim vardır. Ocak 1897'den itibaren Girit Adası'nın Yunanistan tarafından işgal edilmesi ile gerilen ilişkiler, sınır ihlalleri ve saldırıların artması ile kopma noktasına gelmiştir. Osmanlı Devleti, öncelikle Yunanistan'a sert bir nota verir ve 27 Şubat 1897'de bölgede donanmaları olan Avrupa ülkelerini hakemlik yapmaları konusunda ikaz eder. Türk Ordusunun 1877-1878 Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı'ndaki mağlubiyeti, büyük zararlara ve kayıplara yol açmıştır. Bu nedenle ülke ve dünya kamuoyunda, Rus destekli Yunan Ordusu karşısında, Osmanlı Ordusunun kazanma şansının olmadığı görüşü hakimdir. Bu nedenle, Osmanlı'nın tepkisinin savaşma boyutuna ulaşmayacağı düşünülür. Ancak beklenen olmaz, Osmanlı'nın diplomatik çabaları sonuçsuz kalınca,

Aux premières heures de la Grande Guerre, Marie Curie souhaite tout de suite s'engager auprès des soldats blessés. Elle a une idée qui va révolutionner leur prise en charge : faire venir l'hôpital directement sur le front.Pour assurer sa mission, elle peut compter sur le soutien de sa fille Irène Joliot-Curie. A l'occasion de l'anniversaire de sa naissance, le 12 septembre 1897, Chasseurs de science revient cette aventure familiale au bord d'un véhicule médical sortit tout droit du cerveau brillant de Marie Curie.Pour aller plus loin :La biographie de Marie CurieLa biographie d'Irène Joliot-CurieL'étonnante photo capturée par Röntgen en 1895Voir Acast.com/privacy pour les informations sur la vie privée et l'opt-out.Transcription du podcast :Bienvenue à tous dans Chasseurs de Science un podcast produit par Futura. Je suis Julie votre guide temporelle. Dans ce nouvel épisode, nous prendrons la route aux côtés de deux femmes extraordinaires pour veiller au chevet des soldats de la première guerre mondiale . Si ce podcast vous plaît, n'hésitez pas à nous soutenir en le partageant sur les réseaux sociaux et en nous laissant une note sur les plateformes de diffusion.Septembre 1914, la bataille de la Marne fait rage. Les Allemands et les Français, qui sont soutenus par les Anglais, se déchirent sur une ligne de front de plus de 200 kilomètres. Dans l'hôpital de campagne situé en retrait du champ de bataille, la situation est préoccupante. Beaucoup de soldats blessés décèdent lors du trajet entre le front et l'hôpital, ou bien sous le scalpel des chirurgiens qui n'arrivent pas à trouver les balles à retirer. C'est une des femmes de science les plus illustres du XXe siècle, Marie Curie, qui va proposer une solution à cette situation cauchemardesque. En effet, elle a compris une chose essentielle. Pour limiter le nombre de morts, c'est l'hôpital qui doit venir aux blessés, pas l'inverse.Avec ce nouvel épisode de Chasseurs de Science, montez côté passager dans un véhicule hors du commun : une petite Curie. Vous aurez comme compagnes de voyage deux femmes tout aussi extraordinaires. Marie Curie et sa jeune fille, Irène, vont sillonner la France meurtrie par la guerre pour améliorer les soins prodigués aux soldats.À Paris, Marie Curie vient tout juste d'investir le nouveau bâtiment de l'Institut du Radium alors que la Première Guerre Mondiale est proclamée. Haute de ses deux prix Nobel, le premier obtenu en 1903 avec son mari Pierre et Henri Becquerel pour la découverte des radiations, et le deuxième obtenu cette fois-ci seule en 1911, pour ses travaux sur le radium et le polonium, elle souhaite tout de suite se mobiliser auprès des blessés. Selon elle, toute la ligne de soin est à repenser. On doit pouvoir vérifier l'état du blessé avant de le transporter à l'hôpital ou bien le soigner sur place si son état est trop préoccupant. Un examen médical, la radiographie, est essentiel à ses yeux. Grâce à elle, les médecins pourront voir les balles à travers les chairs sans opérer.Mais la radiologie n'en est qu'à ses débuts. Les rayons X ont été découverts il y a à peine 20 ans par Wilhelm Röntgen, un Allemand. Seule une centaine de médecins en France maîtrisent cette technique et tous les hôpitaux n'ont pas le matériel nécessaire pour la pratiquer. C'est bien dérisoire face au nombre de gueules cassées à soigner. Marie Curie soumet alors une idée à l'armée : des unités radiographiques mobiles capables d'aller au plus près des soldats blessés. Son projet se heurte d'abord à la réticence de l'institution, mais finit par être approuvé.Georges Massiot, un ingénieur à la tête d'une usine de fabrication d'équipement radiologique, conçoit une voiture laboratoire de radiologie. Il s'agit d'un véhicule Peugeot 10HP qui comporte tout le nécessaire pour prendre en charge les blessés comme un lit d'examen pliable ou encore une tente pour protéger des intempéries. À l'intérieur, il y a aussi un appareil de Röntgen, qui est alimenté par une dynamo couplée au moteur du véhicule, qui sert à réaliser des radiographies.Cette voiture, qui porte le numéro 1, est la première conçue à but radiographique pour l'armée. Dix-sept autres suivront, toutes validées par Madame Curie en personne et le docteur Béclère, le directeur du service radiologique des armées. Ces voitures d'un nouveau genre seront baptisées “Petites Curies” par les soldats.Peu après, Marie Curie est enfin prête à partir pour le front à bord d'une voiture radiologique. Sa première destination est le champ de la bataille de la Marne, en 1914. Après son arrivée, l'hôpital dans lequel elle officie enregistre un nombre de décès particulièrement faible. Là-bas, les soldats sont pris en charge aux abords du front et selon les résultats des radiographies réalisées dans le véhicule, il est décidé de les opérer sur place ou de les envoyer vers un hôpital mieux équipé. Celle qui avait la réputation d'être froide et dure se révèle particulièrement attentive auprès de ses patients. « Vous verrez c'est comme une photographie » les rassurent-elle.Sa deuxième fille, Eve, écrit des années plus tard dans une biographie consacrée à sa mère. « Elle a ce qui peut leur être doux : un joli timbre de voix, des mains légères, beaucoup de patience et un respect immense et religieux de la vie humaine ».En 1915, la fille aînée de Marie, Irène, souhaite aussi l'aider. âgée d'à peine 17 ans et un diplôme d'infirmière tout juste en poche, la jeune femme use de tous les arguments pour que sa mère accepte qu'elle parte avec elle dans une petite Curie. Elle finit par obtenir gain de cause.Sur le front, la jeune Irène peine tout d'abord à s'imposer auprès des médecins de guerre. Mais grâce aux radiographies réalisés dans le camion, elle parvient à identifier les éclats de shrapnel, les balles perdues et les fractures avec efficacité sans pareil. Son expertise permet de faciliter les opérations chirurgicales et elle gagne finalement le respect de ses collègues masculins.Cette année-là, Marie Curie et sa fille feront onze déplacements à travers toute la France, jusqu'à la frontière belge. En 1916, l'implication de Marie Curie est totale, elle passe son permis spécialement pour se mettre au volant d'une Petite Curie, et menait elle-même, en compagnie de sa fille, ses missions sur le front. Durant les dernières heures de la Grande Guerre, en 1918, ce sont plus de 50 voitures radiologiques qui sillonnent la France, vers les tranchées mais aussi dans les campagnes privées d'infrastructures médicales ; 155 postes semi-fixes sont aussi construits.De son côté, Marie Curie est revenue à Paris et continue de s'investir pour le développement de la radiologie. À l'institut du Radium, des infirmières, prises en charge par Irène, mais aussi des médecins ou des soldats, se succèdent pour être formés aux techniques de radiographie. Désormais, aucun médecin n'envisage de se passer d'une radio pour effectuer un diagnostic ou opérer un patient. À la fin de cette aventure, une nouvelle profession voit le jour : celle des manipulateurs en radiologie. Pendant six mois, 150 jeunes premières femmes sont formées aux mathématiques, à l'anatomie mais aussi aux bases théorique de l'électricité et du fonctionnement des rayons X. Dans son livre, La Radiologie et la Guerre, Marie Curie livre sa vision de cette nouvelle discipline : « Le manipulateur est l'aide qui fait fonctionner les appareils pour le médecin radiologiste ; c'est lui qui entretient l'appareillage en bon état, développe les plaques, manipule le porte-ampoule, répare les défauts de l'installation électrique. Son rôle est en principe, celui d'un ingénieur technicien ; quand il a été affecté à un poste mobile, il doit comme le médecin être particulièrement actif, habile et débrouillard. »Voilà comment Marie Curie et sa fille Irène, qui elle aussi obtiendra un prix Nobel de chimie pour la découverte de la radioactivité induite, ont favorisé l'essor de la radiologie moderne. Durant la première guerre mondiale, plus d'un million de clichés radiologiques ont été faits, dont un millier par Marie Curie elle-même. Et dire que tout avait commencé par de simples images aux rayons X de la main de l'épouse de Wilhelm Röntgen, en 1895.Merci d'avoir écouté cet épisode de Chasseurs de Science, si vous appréciez notre travail n'hésitez pas à nous laisser un commentaire et cinq étoiles sur les plateformes de diffusion pour nous soutenir et améliorer notre visibilité.

Eine Umfrage unter katholischen Orden hat 1.400 Missbrauchsfälle ergeben. "Mir war schon klar, dass ein Großteil der Missbrauchsfälle im katholischen Bereich im Bereich der Ordensgemeinschaften stattfinden", so Johannes-Wilhelm Rörig. Er geht von weiteren Opfern sexuellen Missbrauchs aus.

“I have discovered something interesting, but I do not know whether or not my observations are correct.” With these words, Wilhelm Röntgen introduced the world to an invisible power, a power which would in turn be used to both harm and heal. This week, we take a tour of the wide world of radiation, starting with a primer on what radiation actually is and how it works, courtesy of Dr. Timothy Jorgensen, Associate Professor of Radiation Medicine and Director of the Health Physics and Radiation Protection Graduate Program, Georgetown University. Then we discuss the nitty gritty on what radiation does to you on a cellular level. We follow that up with a stroll through some of the major moments in the history of radiation - from X-rays to atomic bombs and from radioluminescent paint to cancer treatments. Finally we wrap things up by chatting about the many amazing medical applications of radiation therapy and how you can assess the risk/benefit of that X-ray or mammogram. To read Dr. Jorgensen’s incredible book Strange Glow: The Story of Radiation, check out his website or head to our website for our full list of sources.

Angesichts des Missbrauchsfalls in Bergisch Gladbach hat Rörig, die Ministerpräsidenten aller Bundesländer dazu aufgefordert, das Thema zur Chefsache zu machen. "Jede Landesregierung sollte sich selbst ins Stammbuch schreiben, wenn sie nicht das Maximale tut, um diese abscheulichen Verbrechen zu verhindern, dann setzt sie sich im Ergebnis der Duldung dieser scheußlichen Verbrechen aus," so Rörig.

Today, technology has granted us ways of looking into our bodies that we could not have imagined before. Wilhelm Röntgen’s discovery of the X-ray in 1895 was the beginning of modern medical imaging. But before the X-ray, there was photographic imaging to study human anatomy. We take a trip back in time with consultant orthopaedic surgeon Dr Rajesh Singh to look at how imaging in anatomy has evolved.

Yet despite its great success in diminishing poverty and growing wealth in countries such as the United States, many remain very unsure of the market economy’s social benefits. Others question its moral foundations. Defenses of the free market which extend beyond appeals to utility continue to be hard to find. In this episode, Ari Hoffman speaks with Sam Gregg, who discusses the moral and economic case for market economies. He and his students read key texts that articulate moral and economic defenses of free market economies, including Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, Michael Novak's The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism, and Wilhelm Röpke’s A Humane Economy.   As these texts are examined, some of the questions posed for discussion are: What is meant by self-interest? How does it differ from greed? What is the historical record of the market economy vis- à-vis wealth and poverty? Is there something distinctive about American capitalism? What are the justifications for state intervention into the market economy? Dr. Samuel Gregg is Director of Research at the Acton Institute.

Der Missbrauchsbeauftragte der Bundesregierung, Johannes-Wilhelm Rörig, hält die Aufarbeitung der Missbrauchsfälle für nicht abgeschlossen. "Im Missbrauchsskandal, bezogen auf die katholische Kirche, sind wir in der Situation, dass die unabhängige Aufarbeitung sich immer noch in der Anfangsphase befindet, sagte er im Interview und betont: "ein Abwarten ist aus meiner Sicht zehn Jahre nach dem Missbrauchsskandal für Betroffene nicht mehr zumutbar."

Liberalismus und Neoliberalismus hatten schon mal bessere Zeiten – beide Begriffe sind in Verruf geraten und werden heute häufig abwertend verwendet. Doch wie kam es dazu? Und lassen sich all die verschiedenen liberalistischen Spielarten überhaupt zu einer Denkrichtung vereinen? In dieser Folge von Suhrkamp espresso stellen wir vier Bücher zum Thema Liberalismus vor. In »Globalisten« beschreibt der Historiker Quinn Slobodian die Entwicklung des Welthandelssystems im 20. Jahrhundert. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die politische Einflussnahme der Neoliberalen und die sogenannte »Genfer Schule«, eine Gruppe von Ökonomen um Friedrich von Hayek und Wilhelm Röpke. Jan-Werner Müller entwirft und beantwortet in »Furcht und Freiheit« Fragen nach den Grenzen zwischen Liberalismus und Neoliberalismus und formuliert einen Entwurf zu einem neuen, anderen Liberalismus. In »Der Ruf der Horde« erzählt Mario Vargas Llosa seine Geschichte als politischer Schriftsteller, eng verknüpft mit der Geschichte des Liberalismus und liberaler Denker von Adam Smith bis in die Gegenwart. Jens Biskys »Berlin. Biographie einer großen Stadt«, 2019 erschienen bei Rowohlt Berlin, erzählt von der Großstadt als Ort, an dem liberale Ideen gelebt werden. Alle Bücher der Folge im Überblick:

Samuel Gregg discusses the anti-Keynsian fusionist everyone should know: Wilhelm Röpke.

Los primeros afectados por la radiación fueron precisamente los científicos implicados en su investigación. Tales son los casos de Wilhelm Röntgen, que en 1895 produjo radiación electromagnética en las longitudes de onda correspondiente a los hoy llamados “rayos X”; Madame Curie, que en 1998 descubrió el radio; los operarios de los rayos X en la Primera Guerra Mundial y otros muchos mártires que, sin saberlo, se adentraron en caminos peligrosos y nocivos para su salud. Junto al escritor Javier Sierra y el doctor en Toxicología clínica Tomás Camacho, conoceremos las historias de estas personas, verdaderas “cobayas humanas”.

In just the first week of the release of Kanye West's new explicitly Christian record "Jesus is King," it's outsold his previous album "Ye," projected to sell 225-275k copies. In addition to comments regarding his conversion to Christianity, he's dominated cultural conversation with increasingly conservative opinions, addressing everything from the importance of communities, to local churches and even in a recent interview, condemning abortion. Andrew T. Walker from ERLC comes on to the show to break down reactions to Kanye's conversion, new artistic direction and cultural influence. On the second segment, Bulgarian economist Stefan Kolev explains the relevance of the 20th century German economist Wilhelm Röpke, and lays out how Röpke's thoughts on community are applicable in our digital age.

En 1895, Wilhelm Röntgen a découvert un rayon qu’il ne cherchait pas : le rayon X. Le physicien allemand tentait plutôt de percer les secrets d’une étrange ampoule qui émettait une lumière verdâtre. Durant ses tests, il a observé que des rayons provenant de l’ampoule réussissaient à passer à travers le corps humain. C’est ainsi qu’il a découvert, par hasard, une technique qui allait permettre des avancées médicales majeures. Avec : Elkahna Talbi (narratrice)

Echoing the narrative style of Director Quentin Tarantino, Professor Lawrence H. White delivers an overview of the economic intellectual debates of the 20th century in his book 'Clash of Economic Ideas.' These debates are framed through the lenses of individuals such as Irving Fisher, Rexford Tugwell, Wilhelm Röpke, Ludwig Erhard, George Stigler, Ronald Coase, John Maynard Keynes, F. A. Hayek, and others. What results is a non-linear and captivating historical narrative that offers a refreshing perspective from the roaring twenties and the Great Depression to the Great Inflation and fiscal policy issues of today.

Neoliberalism: we all hate it, but what does it mean? Dan talks to intellectual historian Quinn Slobodian about his book Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism, which tells the story of neoliberalism's Geneva School—including Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, and Wilhelm Röpke—and their vision for a new imperial order establishing rules to protect the market from political interference. It's a movement that begins with nostalgia for the bygone Habsburg Empire, moves on to fights against the decolonized world's efforts to create a New International Economic Order, and that plays a key role in forming the European Economic Community and the WTO.

In this episode, Shawn Ritenour answers the question, “Who is Wilhelm Röpke?” A German economist, Röpke contributed to the theoretical structure and political vision of the Austrian school, warning of the dangers of political consolidation and underscoring the connection between culture and economic systems. Röpke opposed collectivism and centralization of power in all of its forms. In his own words, he became a “fervent hater of war, of brutal and stupid national pride, of the greed for domination and of every collective outrage against ethics.” He warned against Keynesian full-employment policies and he developed a theory of repressed inflation. He argued that inflation was merely a Keynesian means of transferring wealth. The Who Is? podcast is available on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, and via RSS.

On this episode of Radio Free Acton, Dylan Pahman, Research Fellow and Managing Editor of the Journal of Markets and Morality at Acton, speaks with Sam Gregg, Director of Research at Acton, about the prolific economists Wilhelm Röpke and John Maynard Keynes, who they are, what they did, and why we should care.

Returning to the podcast is David Henderson of Stanford University's Hoover Institution and the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey California. Our topic for today is the German Economic Miracle. David wrote an article on it for the Concise Encyclopedia of Economics. The article begins as follows: "After World War II the German economy lay in shambles. The war, along with Hitler’s scorched-earth policy, had destroyed 20 percent of all housing. Food production per capita in 1947 was only 51 percent of its level in 1938, and the official food ration set by the occupying powers varied between 1,040 and 1,550 calories per day. Industrial output in 1947 was only one-third its 1938 level. Moreover, a large percentage of Germany’s working-age men were dead. At the time, observers thought that West Germany would have to be the biggest client of the U.S. welfare state; yet, twenty years later its economy was envied by most of the world. And less than ten years after the war people already were talking about the German economic miracle. What caused the so-called miracle? The two main factors were currency reform and the elimination of price controls, both of which happened over a period of weeks in 1948. A further factor was the reduction of marginal tax rates later in 1948 and in 1949." We discuss the West German economy, before and after WWII, and contrast it with the East German economy. We also discuss some of the interesting figures who played roles along the way: Ludwig Erhard, Wilhelm Röpke, Konrad Adenauer, and Walter Heller. We wrap up by discussing the Concise Encyclopedia of Economics itself, which David created and has edited since its first publication in 1993.  

Raios X - cienciadopovo.com A primeira imagem de Raio-X data de 1895, quando o alemão, Wilhelm Röntgen, demonstrou seu uso na mão de sua esposa, Anna Bertha, expondo para o mundo, a aplicação prática de seu descobrimento. Hoje, o uso dos raio-x está muito difundido. Nos hospitais são imprescindíveis, na segurança de aeroportos, também. Na inspeção de construções, no uso para fins militares são largamente utilizados. Os raios X são, assim como, a luz visível, as estações de rádio e o sinal do WiFi de seu vizinho, ondas e radiações eletromagnéticas. O que poucos sabem é que a invenção de Röntgen está sendo usada, também, para inspecionar o céu, explorar o universo. Foi justamente com a ajuda de Raios X que o homem conseguiu visualizar os buracos negros pela primeira vez. Por isto, quando você receber sua radiografia, pense em toda a caminhada, o conhecimento e a tecnologia que estão por trás desta simples chapa.

In 1895, Wilhelm Röntgen was an honored and admired physics professor. But reputation aside, Röntgen was 50 years old - and at that age, it is rare for a scientist to make a significant contribution to his or her field.

NEXT EPSIODE FEB 24   Accidental Inventions   Crisps George Crum   George Crum (born George Speck;[1] c. 1828 – July 22, 1914)[2] was a mixed-race African/Native American trapper and guide in the Adirondacks, who became renowned for his culinary skills after becoming a cook and restaurant owner in Saratoga Springs, New York. By 1860 he owned Crum's House, a popular lakeside restaurant in nearby Malta.               Hotel chef George Crum enjoyed a wonderful knack for cooking. From his kitchen at Moon's Lake House near Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Mr. Crum could "take anything edible and transform it into a dish fit for a king." That skill came in handy – the upscale Lake House attracted customers who were used to being treated like kings. In 1853, a cranky guest complained about Crum's fried potatoes. They were too thick, he said. Too soggy and bland. The patron demanded a new batch. Crum did not take this well. He decided to play a trick on the diner. The chef sliced a potato paper-thin, fried it until a fork could shatter the thing, and then purposefully over-salted his new creation. The persnickety guest will hate this, he thought. But the plan backfired. The guy loved it! He ordered a second serving.   The first potato chip factory was built in 1895 by William Tappenden in Cleveland, OH. He funded the remodeling of his barn into a factory with the profits he made by delivering potato chips to grocery stores. It takes 1,000 pounds of potatoes to make 350 pounds of potato chips. Pringles are made from mashed potatoes that have been dehydrated and reconstituted into a dough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbbsbE2mQuA   Super glue   Harry Coover   Super Glue, also known as cyanoacrylate, was originally discovered in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover, who by the way died last month on March 26th, 2011.  Coover was attempting to make clear plastic gun sights to be put on guns used by Allied soldiers in WWII.  One particular formulation he came up with didn’t work well for gun sights, but worked fantastically as an extremely quick bonding adhesive.     X RAYS   The first X-ray device was discovered accidentally by the German scientist Wilhelm Roentgen (1845-1923) in 1895. He found that a cathode-ray tube emitted invisible rays that could penetrate paper and wood. The rays caused a screen of fluorescent material several yards away to glow. Roentgen used his device to examine the bone structure of the human hand.      First x ray photo                                                         Wilhelm Röntgen   Upon their discovery in 1895, X-rays were advertised as the new scientific wonder and were seized upon by entertainers. Circus patrons could view their own skeletons and were given pictures of their own bony hands wearing silhouetted jewelry. Many people were fascinated by this discovery. Some people, however, feared that it would allow strangers to look through walls and doors and eliminate privacy.HOW X RAYS WORK SHORT VIDEo X Rays Work - YouTube   MICROWAVE       In 1945, the American engineer, Percy Spencer was carrying out maintenance work on a live radar set. Whilst working within close proximity to the radar equipment, he felt a tingling sensation throughout his body and noticed that a chocolate bar in his pocket had completely melted. After some investigation he determined that it was the microwaves being emitted by the magnetron tube in the radar set which had caused the chocolate to get warm enough to melt. Percy Spencer experimented further by directing the magnetron tube at kernels of corn. Activating the gun resulted in just what he was hoping – the first microwave popcorn. Percy Spencer then went on to build a metal box with an opening on one side and the magnetron tube poking through into another side of it. He used this box to heat his lunches and a variety of other foods he was curious enough to try out. There’s  a story of an occasion where he heated a whole egg in the device which unfortunately resulted in the egg exploding in his colleague’s face. This incident led to the addition of a door to close the box and prevent any further such incidents.    Did you know however that the first microwave ovens were already commercially available way back in 1947? These early appliances known then as RadaRanges cost around $5000 US, weighed approximately 650kg and stood 1.6m tall! TO THIS                KELLOGS CORN FLAKES   If you've never been aroused by the sight of a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes, then you're probably completely normal and have nothing to worry about. At least according to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, that is   KELLOGGS BROTHERS    Dr john Kellogg  with his younger brother Keith Kellogg   In the young United States, one of the most ardent anti-masturbaters was a Michigan physician named John Harvey Kellogg. The good doctor was a bit uncomfortable about sex, thinking it detrimental to physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. He personally abstained from it, and never consummated his marriage (and may have actually spent his honeymoon working on one of his anti-sex books). He and his wife kept separate bedrooms and adopted all of their children.   Enter Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. Kellogg was the superintendent of Battle Creek Sanitarium,  This is where Corn Flakes come in. Amongst the various measures that Kellogg resorted to in order to curb passions he relied most heavily upon the vegetarian diet,   Will Keith Kellogg, had accidentally created after toasting some stale cooked wheat. Kellogg believed that this product, that they called “Corn Flakesâ€* acted as an anaphrodisiac, greatly decreasing the sex drives of those who consumed it.  while John held firm in his anti-sweet beliefs. The result was Will’s formation of the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company in 1906, which went on to become the multi-billion dollar Kellogg Company John Harvey Kellogg spent the rest of his life practicing medicine, treating such notable figures as President William Howard Taft, aviator Amelia Earhart, Nobel prize-winning playwright George Bernard Shaw, founder of Ford Motor Company Henry Ford, and inventor Thomas Edison. Following Freud’s studies in human sexuality, and other studies in human sexual psychology in the first half of the twentieth century, it appears that Kellogg dropped his obsession with the evils of sex, focusing mainly on establishing healthy eating habits with his patients. He died in 1943 at the age of 91.  

Spretigt hår som står åt alla håll och en smått överdimensionerad skalle. Glasögon och virrig blick. Bilden av geniet är idag formad av Einstein, men redan före hans tid fanns många föreställningar kring hur en genial vetenskapsman skulle se ut och bete sig, och vad begreppet geni egentligen innebar. Vetenskapsradion Historia uppmärksammar det historiska geniet i samband med årets Nobelfestligheter. - Under 1800-talet betraktades geniet som en mentalsjuk person, berättar idéhistorikern Tobias Dahlkvist som studerat hur huvudmätningar och öronformer en gång användes för att kartlägga genialitet. Gustav Källstrand har nyligen disputerat på en avhandling om mediebilden av det tidiga Nobelpriset och menar att priset hjälpte till att forma vår bild av genier. - De tidiga pristagarna gav upphov till nationalistisk yra i de länder där de bodde, och i tidningarna porträtteras de som populära genier, berättar han. Men det var inte alla pristagare som kunde leva upp till idealbilderna - Wilhelm Röntgen ansågs för tråkig medan andra pristagare var alltför solbrända. I programmet uppmärksammas också vår egen tids televiserade Nobelbanketter - där pristagarna förväntas skåla och mingla med en politisk och ekonomisk elit. Vad Nobelsändningarna egentligen berättar om samspelet mellan genier, vetenskap och omvärlden har intresserat medieforskaren Hillevi Ganetz. Programledare är Tobias Svanelid.

The market economy as a field of liberty, spontaneity, and free coordination cannot thrive in a social system that is the very opposite, writes Wilhelm Röpke (1899-1966).This audio Mises Daily is narrated by Harold Fritsche.

"Den tredje vägen", "det tyska undret" och "det civila samhället". Många begrepp kan kopplas till Wilhelm Röpke, men själv är han mer okänd. Röpke levde i flera olika länder, men talade ändå sig varm om byns gemenskap som grunden för ett gott samhälle. Han förespråkade marknadsekonomi och fri rörlighet, men var samtidigt kritisk mot viss kapitalism och såg samband mellan ekonomi och sociologi. I det här avsnittet av Idésherpa guidar Anita Lignell Du Rietz, fil.dr. i nationalekonomi och forskare vid Centrum för näringslivshistoria, dig till Röpke.

The 4th Photo History Intersession looks at two rather dramatically opposed technical applications of photography: The first X-Ray image, made by Wilhelm Röntgen in 1896 and the first auroral (northern lights) photograph made by Martin Brendel in 1892. (left) First X-Ray image by Wilhelm Röntgen – 1896 & (right) First auroral (northern lights) photograph by … Continue reading Photo History Intersession – January 05 →
