The Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz

چکیده
It is rather uncommon to maintain a research institute for art history abroad. First of all, because culture and art can be distinguished by their national identity and therefore they are regarded as an achievement of a particular nation. The second and probably more important reason is that every nation needs to set up its own appropriate institutions, like museums, archives, libraries, universities and so on. All those institutions, once founded, still today are supported in order to preserve the ensemble of national cultural heritage and to extend the knowledge in this field by promoting scholarly research. However, the case of the Kunsthistorisches Institut is different: it is a German institution in Italy, it was founded primarily by German scholars, its financing is based on German public money and its staff consists predominantly of German scholars; and this will remain unchanged, even in the era of globalisation, international cooperation and borderless communication in supranational networks. This situation becomes even more curious if one takes into account, that there are other German research institutes in Italy, like the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome, the art historical sister institution of the Florentine Institute, or the German Historical Institute and the German Archaeological Institute, both in Rome. How can this particular situation be explained?

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease resulting from the occurrence of intermingled episodes of neuro-inflammation and degeneration. The temporal and spatial patterns in which these events occur are not well understood as well as the molecular substrates underlying it. Myelin loss and gain, as well as axonal damage are considered crucial events influencing the course of the disease but t...

In this study, genetic diversity of two different populations of Hamra goat breed of Morocco was investigated in 60 different samples (including 30 from Beni Arouss and 30 from Rommani) using fifteen microsatellite markers. A total of 145 alleles were detected with average number per locus of 8.67 and 8.07 in Beni Arouss and Rommani goats, respectively. The Shannon’s information index ranged fr...
متن کاملP 46: The Role of Kv7-Channels in the Pathophysiology of Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune CNS-disease characterized by inflammatory neurodegenerative events occurring with de- and remyelination. Recent evidence show that demyelinated neurons are less excitable than myelinated ones while at early stages of remyelination these neurons seem to be hyperexcitable. The latter is a transitory condition that, very likely, leads to impaired neuronal networ...
