Recent historical research has reconstructed the
roads leading to the Nobel Prize for the trained urologists
Werner Forssmann (1904–1979) in 1956 and Charles Huggins
(1901–1997) in 1966. However, the story of urology
and the Nobel Prize does not start and end with the laureates.
Taking James Israel (1848–1926), Félix Guyon
(1831–1920), and Peter J Freyer (1852–1921) as examples,
this paper shows that pioneers in urology were in fact runners-up
for the award much earlier.
The study is based on an analysis of original
fles in the Nobel Prize archive in Stockholm, scientifc
publications of the early twentieth century, and secondary
literature.
We argue that Israel’s, Guyon’s, and
Freyer’s candidacies refect not only scientifc trends and
controversies in urology at the turn of twentieth century,
but that the development of the specialty itself was refected
in nominations of physicians working on problems of the
genito-urinary system.

Dr. Kary Mullis
passed away. In the scientific
world, his name was
already mythical because
his human and scientific
history really contained
the archetype of genius
and recklessness.
We will not remember
his fundamental scientific
discovery here, we
are writing in an experimental
biology journal in
2019, it would be useless.
We will only remember
that his discovery, the
Polymerase Chain
Reaction (PCR), was the
conception of a method;
it was therefore the
applying of the scientific
knowledge already available
at the time.

Abstract: h-index retrieved by citation indexes (Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science) is used to measure the scientific performance and the research impact studies based on the number of publications and citations of a scientist. It also is easily available and may be used for performance measures of scientists, and for recruitment decisions. The aim of this study is to investigate the difference between the outputs and results from these three citation databases namely Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science based upon the h-index of a group of highly cited researchers (Nobel Prize winner scientist). The purposive sampling method was adopted to collect the required data. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the h-index between three citation indexes of Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science; the Google scholar h-index was more than the h-index in two other databases. It was also concluded that there is a significant positive relationship betwee...

Previous research has attempted to understand why countries with relatively favorable conditions and high estimated average IQs (such as Finland and Japan) have a relatively low per capita number of scientific Nobel prizes. In the present study, we examine whether there is a relationship between national schizophrenia and left-handedness prevalence, on the one hand, and per capita scientific and literary achievement, on the other hand, in countries with IQ estimates of at least 90. We found that per capita science and literature Nobel prizes and scientific publications are strongly negatively associated with schizophrenia and strongly positively correlated with left-handedness. There also was a very pronounced negative correlation between schizophrenia rate and left-handedness rate. These results suggest that genius can be regarded as a combination of very high IQ, aspects of high-functioning autism (specifically low empathy) plus relatively low impulse control, consistent with observations of intellectually outstanding individuals, and the fact that schizophrenia appears to constitute the opposite pole of these aspects of autism spectrum. We posit differences in androgen levels as a possible underlying explanation for these findings.

The Quit India speech is a speech made by Mahatma Gandhi on August 8, 1942, on the eve of the Quit India movement. He called for determined, but passive resistance that signified the certitude that Gandhi foresaw for the movement is best described by his call to Do or Die. His speech was issued at the Gowalia Tank Maidan in Bombay (now Mumbai), since renamed August Kranti Maidan (August Revolution Ground). However, almost the entire Congress leadership, and not merely at the national level, was put into confinement less than twenty-four hours after Gandhi's speech, and the greater number of the Congress leaders were to spend the rest of the war in jail. Many years later, Martin Luther King, Jr., would mimic Gandhi in his "I Have A Dream" speech that promoted nonviolence and equality of races. Gandhi made this speech to help India gain Independence.

Malala Yousafzai, 17 anni, pakistana, è stata insignita del premio Nobel per la pace per la sua lotta a favore del diritto all’istruzione di tutti i bambini e le bambine, insieme all’indiano Kailash Satyarthi, 60 anni, impegnato contro il lavoro minorile. Raccontando la storia di questa giovane, che non ha esitato a sfidare la morte pur di affermare ciò in cui crede, ci chiediamo quale messaggio consegna, in particolare alle giovani generazioni. E quali semi di speranza riesce a spargere in un mondo dove i diritti, troppo spesso, soccombono di fronte alle esigenze delle agende politiche?

George Hoyot Whipple (1878-1976) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1934, along with Minot and Murphy for their studies in pernicious anemia. Whipple's name has been given to the bacterial disease which he describes in 1907 that we know today as Whipple's disease or intestinal lipodystrophy. He gave the name of thalasemia to the Mediterranean anemia of Cooley, and made diverse contributions to hematology and general pathology. He worked with William Welch in the Department of Pathology at Johns Hopkins Hospital and later became director of the University of Rochester. He died in 1976 at the age of 98.

Mo Yan's 2012 Nobel Prize for Literature quickly turned into the most controversial international literary prize of recent memory. The controversy took place largely in English, and largely on the American internet, where as much as Mo Yan was honored as being an important literary voice from a country whose contemporary cultural products are often neglected, he was criticized for supporting the Chinese Communist Party and its government. Defenders have pointed out that the politics in his fiction are neither as simple nor as straightforward as his party membership might otherwise indicate, but critics have said he writes a "daft hilarity" in a "diseased language," calling his works in translation "superior to the original in their aesthetic unity and sureness." Taking a detailed look at the controversy and debate, I examine the theoretical assumptions and stakes at work in the reading of Mo Yan and his Nobel, with attention to their ideological underpinnings, followed with a discussion on the importance of considering translation and the relationship between literary reading and politics. I close with a look toward a broadly applicable model of internationalist reading I call translational.

The mass of the electron can be solved for exactly in terms of the other constants pf the 4th Order 7D Dimensional polynomial.
The denominator of the expression is the difference of two very small numbers, yet the mass comes out exactly correctly - better than NIST & CODATA.

Edouard d'Araille's 'Editor's Note' to the Nobel Prize Collection edition of 'Lover's Gift and Crossing' presents a general introduction to the life and work of Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, who was the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. First, it provides a brief biography of Tagore, from his roots in Bengal, his studies in England and his initial publications, all the way through to his literary fame, his winning of the Nobel Prize and international respect as a world poet. The essay also discusses his poetic work in general and the book that it introduces in particular - 'Lover's Gift and Crossing'. Several observations are made about the themes and meanings with this two-part work of poetry. This essay is not for seasoned scholars of Rabindranath Tagore but it will provide a helpful introduction for those who are not familiar with his visionary, lyrical and mystic poetry which he published both in Indian (Bengali) and English. Tagore is a figure who will be of interest to readers of Kahlil Gibran, William Blake and John Donne, among others, particularly due to the metaphysical and mystical nature of his verse. Several suggestions are made as to the ways in which the 'romance' of 'Lover's Gift and Crossing' can be interpreted. The essay also includes the ''Acknowledgements' section and a colour portrait (painting) of Tagore. Extracted from Vol. I of the 'Nobel Prize Collection' (2017) published by Living Time Books (Publishing)

La neurona ha pasado por diferentes enfoques para conocer mejor su funcionamiento, tanto en forma individual como en forma colectiva.
Muchos nombres de investigadores a lo largo del tiempo, que han contribuído a develar su funcionamiento, han sido elegidos como premios Nobel, resaltando que no han sido pocos, de modo que la rica mena de la neurobiología del sistema nervioso es algo a lo cual apenas nos estamos asomando. El enfoque sobre estructura y función, sobre membrana, organitos, núcleo, ionóforos, bombas metabólicas, comportamiento eléctrico oscilante y autoregenerante, permite un enfoque integral, para derivar en otras funciones derivadas de la complejidad del ensamblamiento neural, de donde en últimas, tendrá su correlato funcional la conciencia y la pléyade de funciones mentales superiores.

Compared to their male counterparts, disproportionately fewer female students go on to take advanced or elective science at the secondary school level. Consequently, disproportionately fewer women pursue university degrees or careers in mathematics, science and engineering. Although more female students are taking elective secondary school math and science courses, these disproportions remain significant. Based on a comprehensive survey of research and field reports, this paper outlines and evaluates the theory and methodology behind attempts -- particularly those emphasizing reading and writing skills -- to meet the specific needs of female students and asserts that addressing gender inequity is a “win-win” for teachers who desire to enhance education for all students.

Este libro, LUIS FEDERICO LELOIR. HISTORIA DE UNA INVESTIGACION NOBEL, en una versión anterior, recibió el Premio de Historia de la Ciencia del CONICET.
Es una invitación a recorrer las investigaciones y la vida de quien, como pocos, hizo ciencia de la mejor calidad en quizás no el mejor de los mundos posibles.
Se trata, sobre todo, de una historia conceptual que muestra cómo se inicia y se desarrolla un personalísimo estilo de pensamiento científico que mereció el mayor de los reconocimientos por parte de la comunidad científica.
En suma, es una historia que permite comprender los avatares de una investigación Nobel, y no sólo ofrecer información acerca de lo ocurrido.
Las fuentes documentales de las que se disponía -la totalidad de los artículos que publicara Leloir- eran las ideales para captarlo. Al contrario de los libros de texto, en los que el pensamiento científico se muestra cristalizado, inmóvil, sin vacilaciones -producto de exhibir el punto de acuerdo al que llega la comunidad científica en ese preciso momento-, en esa sucesión de artículos se desenvolvía -vivo- con sus dudas, los caminos que se abren, las elecciones en las vías de investigación.
A semejanza de la literatura contemporánea, en la cual la narración explicita la teoría literaria que le da estructura -haciendo partícipe al lector del entramado constructivo que anteriormente permanecía invisible a sus ojos-, el libro de César Lorenzano discute la pertinencia de las diferentes epistemologías para el análisis de artículos científicos, diferente al usual análisis de libros de texto.
Al hacerlo, desarrolla caminos poco transitados por la historiografía y la epistemología de la ciencia:
i. el período en el que se investiga dentro de marcos teóricos ya constituidos -la ciencia normal de Kuhn-
ii. la ciencia de artículos
En sus análisis, las notables investigaciones de Leloir constituyen los mejores ejemplos de ambos caminos.

"Transfiguration is what allows you to crawl out from under the chaos and fly above it. That's how I can still do what I do and write the songs I sing and just keep on moving."-Bob Dylan For Bob Dylan, whose poetics of transfiguration and unmasking Timothy Hampton limns from the innermost geist of artistic "composition," the writing of a song can be said to take place "at the intersection of lyric, music, and performance" as well as through an achieved compression of language saturated with living tensions, stances, and idioms of American cultural history. Hampton, commanding a richly comparative knowledge of world poetic traditions along with a supple understanding of postwar musical genres and songs, situates Bob Dylan's Poetics: How the Songs Work at this musical /poetic interface of voice and form across shifting decades, masks, styles, mores, and modes. Even as he tracks Dylan's career of song-making across a 43-album trajectory that "just keep[s] on moving," the lyrics are read as tied to a shifting prosody and myriad song forms that "work as compositions, as structures, as systems of signs that create meaning and elicit emotion," as Hampton avers of this interpretation-centered approach. "Tangled Up in Blue" is here read, rather amazingly as crafted into Petrarchan stanzaic form and phrasal nuance, as "in effect, a condensed musical sonnet sequence"; "She Belongs to Me" becomes a lover's homage of Rimbaud-drenched visionary imagination, whereby the artist-heroine "remakes reality" in a feat of absolute modernity that turns the male lover (or jealous listener) into "a walking antique."...
