Peter Kapitza

Peter Kapitza was a legendary figure both in Rutherford’s Cambridge of the 1920s and 1930s and subsequently in Moscow to the end of his long life and the legends serve to illustrate his colourful personality. In his scientific work he showed great versatility and brought the skills of an engineer and mathematician to bear on important problems in physics and technology in an entirely original way. He also had broad cultural and social interests and his original ideas on scientific education and organization have had a profound influence, particularly on the development of Soviet physics.

Michael Faraday

Michael Faraday, self-taught and without any particular scientific knowledge, from an errand boy of the humblest origins became one of the greatest Englishmen of all time. With simple determination and extraordinary intuition he arrived at the scientific discoveries upon which most of the technology of the twentieth century is based. His life and works had a profound influence upon contemporary thought, inspiring and supplementing the work of other great intellects, such as Clerk Maxwell and Albert Einstein. John Meurig Thomas, continuing the tradition of the spreading of scientific knowledge of which Michael Faraday is such a shining example, has the gift of illustrating the history and scientific work of this natural philosopher with a style, at once simple and precisely accurate, that makes it accessible to all. Faraday's fascinating and richly detailed story is accompanied by a series of drawings, photographs and letters, material that is largely original.

AbstractThis article introduces the November 2005 issue of MRS Bulletin on the life and works of Arthur Robert von Hippel, who pioneered the interdisciplinary approach to materials research. This issue of MRS Bulletin celebrates his long life, his large volume of work, and the overall impact he had on materials research as practiced today. This introductory article summarizes the start and progression of the various fields presented in this issue, and how many were inspired directly by von Hippel's work and ways, and how new fields continue to emerge based on the same foundations of interdisciplinarity. The articles in this issue cover research areas in which von Hippel was involved, namely, ferroelectrics and magnetism; fields that thrived on an interdisciplinary approach that von Hippel represented, such as semiconductors; and areas that reflect his own vision about materials research and interests later in life, including molecular design and biomaterials. Before the scientific work is presented, the issue begins with a personal sketch of von Hippel, contributed by his son Frank N. von Hippel.

Long Life

Allen Goodrich Shenstone died at the age of 86 on 16 February 1980 in Princeton, where he had dwelt and worked for the greater part of his life. In spite of the distraction of World War I, during which he served with distinction in the Royal Engineers in France, by the early 1930s he had produced so much high-class work and enough novel interpretation and concept to be recognized as one of the leaders in research on atomic spectra. Though his scientific work was again interrupted by notable service in Canada and Britain in World War II, he remained active in comprehensive observation and analyses to the end of his long life. He was one of the great spectroscopists of this century, his peers—allowing for some overlap in time—including Alfred Fowler, W. F. Meggers, F. Paschen, H. N. Russell and M. A. Catalan. Shenstone was born in Toronto and, though he spent most of his working life and retirement in the United States, he proudly remained a Canadian and British national. All who knew him would agree that precision, integrity and loyalty characterized the life pattern and work of this fine man and scientist. The biographer’s task has been much facilitated by the existence of copious autobiographical notes left by Allen Shenstone and of a remarkable diary by an ancestor to be referred to immediately.

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.

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.

Peningkatan suhu tubuh  menyebabkan rasa tidak nyaman, gelisah pada anak, sehingga waktu untuk istirahat menjadi terganggu.Tatalaksana pada anak dengan demam dapat dilakukan dengan metode farmakologi dan non farmakologi. Tepid water spongingmerupakan tatalaksana non farmakologi. Konservasi adalah serangkaian sistem agar tubuh manusia mampu menjalankan fungsi, beradaptasi untuk melangsungkan kehidupan. Perawat mempunyai peran untuk membantu anak dalam mengatasi gangguan termoregulasi. Karya ilmiah ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektifitas penurunan suhu tubuh menggunakan tepid water sponging dengan pendekatanl konservasi Levine di ruang rawat infeksi. Efektifitas diukur dalam pemberian asuhan keperawatan berdasarkan proses keperawatan yang terdapat dalam model konservasi Levine yaitu: pengkajian, menentukan trophicognosis, menentukan hipotesis, intervensi dan evaluasi. Terdapat lima kasus yang dibahas. Hasil penerapan model konservasi Levine mampu meningkatkan kemampuan anak dalam mempertahankan fungsi tubuh dan beradaptasi terhadap perubahan. Kombinasi tepid water sponging dan terapi farmakologi mampu mengatasi demam dengan cepat dibanding terapi farmakologi.   Kata kunci: termoregulasi, tepid water sponging, teori model konservasi Levine   REDUCTION OF BODY TEMPERATURE USING TEPID WATER SPONGINGWITH THE LEVINE CONSERVATION APPROACH   ABSTRACT Increased body temperature causes discomfort, anxiety in children, so that the time to rest becomes disturbed. Management of children with fever can be done by pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. Tepid water sponging is a non-pharmacological treatment. Conservation is a series of systems so that the human body is able to function, adapt to life. Nurses have a role to help children overcome thermoregulation disorders. This scientific work aims to determine the effectiveness of decreasing body temperature using tepid water sponging with the approach of Levine conservation in the infectious care room. Effectiveness is measured in the provision of nursing care based on the nursing process contained in the Levine conservation model, namely: assessment, determining trophicognosis, determining hypotheses, intervention and evaluation. There are five cases discussed. The results of the application of the Levine conservation model are able to improve the ability of children to maintain body functions and adapt to changes. The combination of tepid water sponging and pharmacological therapy is able to overcome fever quickly compared to pharmacological therapy.   Keywords: thermoregulation, tepid water sponging, Levine conservation model theory
