Alula Taibel has been an Italian zoologist of Austrian- Yemenite origin. After having served the Italian Army, he graduated in Natural Sciences at Bologna University in 1925. He was later director of the Poultry Station at Rovigo and scientific director of the Turin Zoological Garden. As to our knowledge no overview of his scientific work has never been published, a synthesis is here presented together with an almost complete list of his papers. Taibel has been one of the major experts on the Galliformes of the Cracidae family and therefore his papers on them are of particular relevance for ornithologists.

As If

This chapter focuses on how Goethe’s writing thought about, and to a point negotiated, the discontinuities it tracked between the visual arts, poetic writing, and the natural sciences. Even a modest set of Goethe’s works offers art history and criticism alongside his novels, drama, lyric, epic, autobiographical and aphoristic writings. What is more, his literary and critical achievements find some of their most expressive, corresponding interfaces in the scientific work to which the poet gave a large part of his life—as if he had undertaken to triangulate a map of creativity and method which late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century thinkers had worked hard to differentiate. Goethe’s effort to reflect on his encyclopedic writings critically evoked a kind of theory that would be nearly universal, and yet stay integral to distinctive kinds of understanding, practice, or analysis.

Работа  посвящена  памяти  ушедшего из  жизни  выдающегося  ученого  и  психолога,  профессора   Г. А. Балла. Приводятся основные темы, содержание и результаты научных дискуссий между Г. А. Баллом  и автором статьи на протяжении последних нескольких лет. Автор рассматривает категорию добра в  контексте  соотношения  трёх  основных,  «вечных»  ценностей  (истины,  добра,  красоты),  принятого  в  философии. Склонность человеческого мозга к образованию позитивных иллюзий, выявленная нейронаукой в  последние десятилетия, позволяет более чётко разграничить «истинное» и «неистинное» добро. Показано,  как применение разработанной автором двусистемной и многоуровневой «Личностно-ориентированной  концепции счастья» (ЛОКС) в сочетании с проведенными экспериментальными исследованиями позволило  существенно  продвинуться  в  изучении  проблем  добра  и  зла,  альтруизма  и  эгоизма,  жизни  и  смерти,  представлявших  средоточие  интереса  для  Г.  А.  Балла.  Также  открываются  новые  возможности  для  сближения   двух   основных   –   естественнонаучного   и   гуманитарного   –   направлений   в   современной  психологии The  manuscript  is  dedicated to  the  memory  of  Professor  G.  A.  Ball  – the outstanding  scientist  and  psychologist. We represent the main topics, the content and the results of scientific discussions with G. A. Ball in the  recent years. The author regards the category of good in the context of interrelationship between three main, eternal  values (truth, good and beauty) which is widely accepted in philosophy. The proneness of human mind for positive  illusions, discovered by neuroscience in the last decades, enables to separate between true and not true good. The  author demonstrates the possibilities of his dual system and multilevel «Person-Oriented Conception» of Happiness  as well as the main results of his experimental explorations. Their implementation enabled us to move forward  significantly in studying the problems of good and evil, of altruism and egoism, of life and death. All of these themes  represented the focus of G. A. Ball’s interest in his scientific work. There also open new possibilities for the  rapprochement between the natural sciences and the humanistic approaches in modern psychology

In memory of Cesare Conci (Rovereto, April 26th, 1920 – Milano, May 11th, 2011) The biography and scientific activities of Prof. Cesare Conci are here summarized. Prof. Conci was the curator of invertebrate zoology of our museum from 1957 to 1964; then he became the Director of the same institution until 1981. He was primarily an entomologist, but he also had a very deep knowledge of natural sciences and contributed to the advancement of Italian speleology and biogeography. He was a skilful researcher both in the lab and in the field, and supported information sharing and collaboration as productive working strategies. Prof. Conci also promoted the scientific associationism that strongly contributed to the diffusion and progress of naturalistic knowledge in the second half of the 20th century. A list of taxa described by Prof. Conci, as well as one of taxa dedicated to him, and honouring his scientific work, are provided. Finally, all Conci’s publications are reported.

The physicist Damian Kreichgauer entered the German Missionary Order Societas Verbi Divini (SVD) in 1892. From 1895 onwards, he taught natural sciences to future missionaries at the Order's seminary St Gabriel (Austria). In 1902, he published a book called Die Äquatorfrage in der Geologie (The Question of the Equator in Geology) with the Order's publishing outlet, in which he advocated the idea of a mobilistic Earth, where the Earth's crust as a whole moved with respect to the fluid core and the Earth's rotational axis. The main evidence for this idea he found in the changing of climate zones during geological epochs. Due to a small database, which was basically restricted to European plate localities, Kreichgauer did not notice discrepancies between polar wander on different continents. Nevertheless, the book was later cited and discussed as one of his precursors by Alfred Wegener in his book on the origin of continents and oceans. Kreichgauer also introduced his ideas to parallel the events of the biblical Genesis with geological epochs. He later expanded this ‘concordance theory’ in a separate book Das Sechstagewerk (The Work of the Six Days). He eventually abandoned scientific work, possibly due to censorship wielded by the Superior of his Order, unlike his contemporary, the Jesuit Erich Wasmann, a respected entomologist, who defended evolutionary ideas despite adverse Church politics and censorship.

Abstract. Early detection of vascular damage in atherosclerosis and accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk factors are the basis for appropriate treatment strategies in cardiovascular medicine. The current review focuses on non-invasive ultrasound-based methods for imaging of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction is an accepted early manifestation of atherosclerosis. The most widely used technique to study endothelial function is non-invasive, flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery under high-resolution ultrasound imaging. Although an increased intima-media thickness value is associated with future cardiovascular events in several large population studies, systematic use is not recommended in clinical practice for risk assessment of individual persons. Carotid plaque analysis with grey-scale median, 3-D ultrasound or contrast-enhanced ultrasound are promising techniques for further scientific work in prevention and therapy of generalized atherosclerosis.

Complex Mechanisms

Based on an analysis of John Exner’s peer-reviewed published work from 1959 to 2007, plus a brief comment for an editorial in Rorschachiana, the author draws a comprehensive picture of the scientific work of this outstanding personality. The article is divided into three sections: (1) the experimental studies on the Rorschach, (2) the clinical studies using the Rorschach, and (3) Exner’s “testament,” which we draw from the last paper he saw published before his death (Exner, 2001/2002). The experimental studies were aimed at better understanding the nature of the test, in particular the respective roles of perception and projection in the response process. These fundamental studies led to a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms involved in the Rorschach responses and introduced some hypotheses about the intentions of the author of the test. The latter were subsequently confirmed by the preparatory sketches and documents of Hermann Rorschach, which today can be seen at the H. Rorschach Archives and Museum in Bern (Switzerland). Exner’s research has evidenced the notion that the Rorschach is a perceptive-cognitive-projective test.
