120Th Anniversary

Leopold Jan Binental (1886–1944) was a musicologist and journalist, and an indefatigable promoter of Frederic Chopin’s compositions and researcher into his life story in the inter-war period. He wrote and published a great deal in professional periodicals as well as in the national and foreign popular press, mainly in France and Germany. Until 1939, he was a regular music critic for "Kurier Warszawski". He was thought to be a competent and respected Chopinologist, and his reputation in Europe was confirmed by the monograph Chopin published in Warsaw (1930 and 1937) and in Paris (1934) and the album Chopin. On the 120th anniversary of his birth. Documents and mementoes (Warsaw 1930 and Leipzig 1932) presenting Chopin’s mementoes, prints, drawings, handwritten musical notes and letters. He initiated and co-organised famous exhibitions about Chopin in the National Museum in Warsaw (1932) and the Polish Library in Paris (1932 and 1937). He was Executive Secretary on the Management Board of the Fryderyk Chopin National Institute created in 1934. Binental amassed a private collection of Chopin’s manuscripts and mementoes which is highly regarded in musicological circles. He also collected works of art; his collection comprised ancient, Middle Eastern and modern European ceramics, medieval sculpture and tapestries, goldsmithery and Judaica. After the outbreak of war in autumn 1939, Binental took certain steps to secure his collections. Three chests with ceramics and works of art were deposited in the National Museum in Warsaw. However, it is not known what happened to the collection of Chopin’s objects. At the beginning of 1940, Binental and his wife managed to leave Poland and reach France, where his daughter lived. In 1944 he was arrested by Gestapo and sent to Auschwitz from which he did not return. After the war, at the request of his daughter Krystyna, some of the works of art deposited in the collections of the National Museum were found. With her approval, they are currently to be found in public collections in Poland, although the fate of his Chopin collection remains unknown. Every now and then, some proof appears on the world antiquarian market that the collection has not been damaged, despite remaining missing.

The year 1947–1948 has been one of limited activity. The presence of rebel bands continues to restrict movement in parts of mainland Greece and the Peloponnese; and the financial policy of the Greek Government has allowed little progress to be made this year in reconstituting the museums. The ban which the Ministry of Education imposed on excavation in Greece has not been withdrawn, though there are signs of a more liberal interpretation of it. On the other hand, the foreign archaeological institutions in Greece have intensified their activities within the limits imposed by present conditions; they have been happily strengthened by the founding on 10th May 1948 of a Swedish Institute in Athens.The Kerameikos Museum is now opened by appointment for students. The principal sculptures of the National Museum have been unpacked in preparation for replacement; an exhibition of early Greek sculptures and works of art was formally opened in the new year; it includes the Delphi charioteer and the new kouros from Anavysos. Additions to Mrs. Stathatou's private collection include a Late Geometric amphora and stamped gold head-band which were found in a grave in the Mesogaia, a small archaic bronze steer's head, and a grave relief of the later fifth century B.C.

This book considers the history of aesthetics by taking into account not only theories of the arts but also the rich fabric of practices relating to the world of performing bodies onstage and the music that sounded alongside them and was made by them—the works of art, music, and theater that were conspicuously about art-objecthood. The introduction sketches the broader fashion for animated statues described in the book, asking what readers can hope to gain from a detailed account of this historical phenomenon that was situated at (or near) the emergence of modern aesthetic thought, as well as the birth of a musical canon.

The orthostats from the North-West Palace of Ashurnasirpal II (883–859 BC) at Nimrud are among the most outstanding works of art from the Ancient Near East. Today they are to be found in museums all over the world and are looked at every day by thousands of visitors. Numerous books and articles have been written about their style, their meaning and their reconstruction. Thus one would think that nothing could have escaped the eye of observers. Nevertheless, some details have been largely overlooked by researchers. Among these is the incised decoration on the edges of the garments of some of the figures depicted, showing a wide range of simple geometric and floral designs as well as complex mythical and narrative scenes. It thus forms a valuable part of the repertoire of Neo-Assyrian artistic motifs and can help us understand the essence and meaning of Neo-Assyrian political art. The evidence of these incised decorations is not only of importance for the history of art but is also fundamental to the understanding of the significance of the clothes and of the figures wearing them, forming an integral and essential part of the mythical symbolic character of the figures.

Introduction: The world has experienced an outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The middle east countries were hit like the rest of the world with this pandemic. Hypothesis: In-hospital mortality has been reported in many countries, but similar reports from middle eastern countries have not been well described. Methods: In this retrospective, multicentre cohort study, we included all adult hospitalized in the intensive care Unit with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in the two main hospitals in Oman, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital SQUH and Royal Hospital RH between the period of 1 st of March to May 30 th , 2020. Demographic, clinical presentation, treatment and outcome, were extracted from electronic medical records and compared between survivors and non-survivors. We used univariable and multivariable logistic regression methods to explore the risk factors associated with in-hospital death. Findings: 153 patients admitted in ICU ,60 from SQUH and 93 from RH were included in this study, of whom 131 (85.6%) were discharged and 22 (14.3%) died in hospital. The mean age of the patients was 49.56±15.20. Males were accounted 126 (83.4%) and females were 25 (16.6%). Nearly 40% of them were Omani citizens and rest of 60% were residents of Oman. Those who have history of coronary artery disease found to have higher in hospital mortality rate OR= 4.09, 95% C.I 1.57-10.6) in which mortality in patients on aspirin was (31.8% in non-survival group vs 10.8% in survival group, p=0.047), clopedogril (18.2% vs 2.3%, p=0.009) and statin (31.8% vs 10.6%, p=0.016)At presentation, non-survivals were found to have significantly higher troponin with the risk of 7.07 (C.I. 2.09-23.92. p=0.002). In fact, patients with high sensitivity troponin rise >100 ng/L were more likely to die 5.83 times than the group with troponin <100 ng/L. Conclusion: History of coronary artery disease and rise of high sensitivity troponin during admission found to be strongly associated with in-hospital mortality. Rise of high sensitivity troponin of greater than >100ng/L was independent risk factors for death of COVID-19. Identifying these risk factors could help to assess the prognosis of these patients at early stage.

The number of migration museums is growing all over the world. These new museums seek to actively shape debates about immigration, and they often rely on immigrants’ personal stories to engage museum visitors and immigrant communities in dialogue. The article uses the case study of France’s National Museum of the History of Immigration in Paris and its collection of personal stories (The Gallery of Gifts) to explore this new form of story-activism and our concepts of hospitality. Drawing on Hélène du Mazaubrun’s, Jacques Derrida’s, Joan Stavo-Debauge’s and Paul Ricoeur’s ideas about gifting, hospitality, and recognition, I examine some challenging politico-ethical questions prompted by these immigrant story exhibitions.

The article provides an experience of reflexive reading of the autobiographical book of the Ural “peasant – worker” Agrippina Korevanova “My Life”, published in 1936 by the Moscow publishing house “History of Plants”, using the method of analyzing the narrative through ‘four readings’, focusing attention step by step on the plot and the reader’s reaction, the narrator’s I and the voices of Others, on cultural contexts and social structures. Press responses, Korevanova’s correspondence with publishers and other archival materials are used as context. A special place in this large hypertext is occupied by the revised work within the educational student project of the Ural Federal University, published in 2020 under the title “Her Life”. It focuses on the relevance of trauma talk and Agrippina’s purely personal life story, which gives a basis for polemical discussion. The peculiarity of the narrative, which at one time “did not give in” to such venerable editors as A. Tikhonov and M. Gorky, and which modern publishers are trying to eliminate, is the lack of coherence and consistency. According to the author of the article, this characteristic incoherence highlights the desire inherent in the construction of the text to combine the passive role of the heroine with her inexhaustible activity. The main and most interesting topic seems to be writing and, more broadly, mastery of the word. Korevanova struggled to enter the world of literature and it is in this field that the rejection of her auto heroine and her own are most dramatic: unrequited requests for help in “writing” (preserved in her archival fund), and difficult relations with the local writing community, and, finally, the multiple edits and shortenings that haunt the work today as well as in 1930s.

This paper discusses the history of the fall of the Prophet Adam AS to the world which was allegedly a prophetic pioneering of human civilization. The writing focuses on tracing the causes of the decline of the Prophet Adam, whether the decline of the Prophet Adam was caused by a mistake he made, namely eating khuldi fruit, or indeed God's will he was sent down to earth even without making mistakes. Sources of data obtained through observation in several books and verses as well as the interpretation of the Qur'an related to the themes discussed. In analyzing the themes discussed, this paper uses several commentators' thoughts, including al-Tabari (838-923 M), al-Qurtubi (1214-1273 M), and M. Quraish Shihab. The writings show that the story of the Prophet Adam AS is a cycle of life in the history of human civilization until the end of time. Humans must reflect on the life story of Adam, that human glory lies in knowledge and obedience to God's commands. While the fall of man is when he forgets the teachings of God and low morality. As mentioned by Ibn Khaldun, every civilization has the same pattern and cycle, namely; pioneering, building, setbacks, destruction.

In the world history of art, various graphic techniques for making and printing works of art have had their own names: etching, woodcut, linocut, lithography, etc. The new definitions of the 21st century sound quite reasonable: “Flowinggraphics” and “Fluid Fusion”, based on technological and chemical discoveries work with acrylic paints. The purpose of my article is to acquaint the art community with new techniques and terms.
