He founded a “Ministry for People’s Englightenment”, re-opened the University of Dorpat (in 1802), planned to restore the University of Wilna and made preparations for the foundation of new universities in Kazan, Charkov, St. Petersburg, Kiev, Tobol’sk, and Ustiug-Velikii. One of the mediating personalities involved in the negotiations about German professors for Russia was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Proposed by Goethe, the chemist Ludwig Schnaubert and the philosopher Johann Baptist Schad were appointed professors at the University of Charkov in 1804.

We investigated the relationship between the characteristics of the written sentence of the MMSE and the cognitive and affective status of elderly patients. Methods: The characteristics of the sentence were compared to the total MMSE score, sociodemographic characteristics, tests evaluating cognition and affective status, and diagnoses. Results: The number of words was significantly associated with the degree of cognitive impairment, whereas the emotional polarity of sentences and concerns about health were associated with depression. Conclusions: Characteristics of the MMSE sentence may provide important additional information regarding both cognition and affect when assessing older people.

The losses of metal are least on leaving around 12 t of steel in the intermediate ladle. The mass of the transition sections of mixed composition in the bar billet is 2.5 times the mass of the steel left in the ladle.
