We are pleased to host our participants, both established investiga- tors and young promising researchers, from more than 70 countries, and hope that your stay in Rome is exciting and re- warding. The first International Symposium on ATHEROSCLEROSIS was held in 1965, some 40 years ago. Well in the twenty-first century, it is exciting to note the dramatic changes in the perception of the field within the last decade alone and to ex- plore the explosion in the field of atherosclerosis prevention and treatment. The ISA2006 will cover the traditional in- terests of atherosclerosis specialists, such as lipid/lipoprotein, lipid lowering drugs, diets, and clotting mechanisms as related to lipids, but will also expand the focus to new and exciting areas, which may potentially affect the development of atherosclerosis and ultimately improve patient care. Themes will include obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, AIDS, rheumatoid arthritis, as well as novel diagnostic technologies for arterial disease determination and biochemical traits affecting atherosclerosis development and outcomes. -

ISTHMUS OF SUEZ. 369 crediton Mougel Bey. A similar machinehad formerly been em- ployed at Tonlon, and there was considerable analogy between it and the plan adopted at Rochester. Mr. RENDEL, V.P., said, that such a system would undoubtedly answer, even withcaissons of verylarge dimensions, ifadequate means were adopted for steadying them. Mr. HUGHES,in answer to questions, said, that the thickness of thecylinders was 1; inch:-thatthe average nnrnber ofbuckets passed throughthe locks per hour, was twenty-five full,weighing about 2 cwt.each, and twenty-five empty,but that depended, of course, on the depth from which they had to be pwsed :-and that the timbers of the old foundations were all sound, except those of beech.

ABOUTfifteen years ago, when the means uf transit from the Medi- terranean to India were under consideration, and the route by way of the River Euphrates to the Persian Gulf found nlany advacates, theAuthor, with otherEngineers, was consulted as to tlte expe- diency of adopting that route, or the one at present used, through Egypt and the Red Sea. In order to ellable him to arrive at a just conclusion, a mass of evidence was placed in his hands, including, among other infolma- tion incidentalto the main question, muchthat reltted to the internal navigation of Egypt, both in its ancient and present state, to the formation of the country between the Red Sea and the RTile, and also to that between the lied Sea and the Mediterranean. -

In 2016, two books by renowned scholars appeared, offering a general overview Tof the subject addressed to both specialists and a larger audience.2 Previous recent studies had focused on specific historical aspects, such as the presence of messianic trends in the caliphate’s conception and the extent of the caliph’s authority.3 The abolition of the Ottoman caliphate in 1924 has also been a subject of analysis.4 That abolition—not the first one to happen in the history of Islam, as we shall see—caused special commotion among different sectors of the Islamic community, including Egyptian intellectuals who were re-thinking the place of Islam in the modern world, and Indian Muslims under British colonial rule.5 The abolition had less of an impact in the former North African Ottoman * We want to express our deep gratitude to Antoine Borrut and Matthew Gordon for their invaluable help in editing this dossier. -

Jacobus Palaeologus in Constantinople, 1554-5 and 1573
Jacobus Palaeologus in Constantinople, 1554-5 and 1573 Martin Rothkegel Th eologische Hochschule Elstal 1. Jacobus Palaeologus: Admirer of Islam and Radical Antitrinitarian The religious reform debates that disunited Western Christia- nity in the 16th century left a lasting imprint on Western civilization. Besides the traditional Roman Catholic Church, Protestantism with its various factions emerged as an alternative form of Western Ch- ristianity. The religious debates unleashed by the sixteenth-century Reformers demonstrably fuelled, in one way or another, many of the subsequent developments of the early modern West including the rise of capitalism, the Dutch and English early Enlightenment, and the pursuit of civil emancipation in seventeenth-century England and eighteenth-century North America. Religious diversity turned out to be an enriching resource for Western societies that enlarged the pool of possible solutions in situations when new challenges demanded new ways of thinking and acting. Special credit for contributing to the genesis of modernity goes to the Antitrinitarian thinkers of the 16th century who radically challenged one of the central dogmatic traditions of the Christian 977 OSMANLI ó STANBULU IV religion, the doctrine of Trinity. Although they were relatively small in number and formed larger communities only in Poland and Transylvania, the Antitrinitarians, stigmatized and persecuted by the Protestants as much as by the Roman Catholics, anticipated key concepts of the Enlightenment and of modern political thou- ght. The seminal implications of 16-17th century Antitrinitarian thought may explain the somehow disproportional attention that Antitrinitarianism, and especially its Socinian variety, has received from historians.1 While the celebrated Italian Fausto Sozzini (1539-1604) and his disciples often have been claimed as direct ancestors of moder- nity, this obviously is not the case with Jacobus Palaeologus. -
“These Were Hard Times for Skanderbeg, but He Had an Ally, the Hungarian Hunyadi” Episodes in Albanian–Hungarian Historical Contacts
ACTA BALCANO-HUNGARICA 1. 1 “These were hard times for Skanderbeg, but he had an ally, the Hungarian Hunyadi” Episodes in Albanian–Hungarian Historical Contacts It is of inestimable significance for Albanian studies in Hungary that the Hungarian Academy of Sciences has had the opportunity to produce and publish Edited by the present book which constitutes a Krisztián Csaplár-Degovics major contribution towards enabling this book to serve as a kind of third volume of Illyrisch-Albanische Forschungen (1916). Although there has been no organized Albanian research in Hungary, the chapters in this book clearly demonstrate that researchers well versed in the various historical periods have engaged in a joint investigation of the Albanian–Hungarian past. The studies reveal new research findings, many of which will cause a sensation in the world of Albanian studies. The book is a distillation of con tem- porary Hungarian work on Albanian Episodes in Albanian–Hungarian Historical Contacts studies and also a salute by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Hungarian ISBN 978-963-416-184-4 Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade to the joint Albanian–Hungarian and Austro–Hungarian past. 9 789634 161844 albán1.indd 1 7/30/2019 2:05:25 PM “These were hard times for Skanderbeg, but he had an ally, the Hungarian Hunyadi” Episodes in Albanian–Hungarian Historical Contacts Acta Balcano-Hungarica 1. ※ Series managing editors: Pál Fodor and Antal Molnár Series editor: Krisztián Csaplár-Degovics Hungarian Academy of Sciences Research Centre for the Humanities -

Race beyond the Plantation: Slavery and Freedom in Colonial Santo Domingo Richard Turits [email protected] Program in Agrarian Studies, Yale University October 14, 2005 Work-in-progress (please do not distribute without author's permission). In recent decades, scholars have fully discredited the notion common in the early and mid- twentieth century that the history of race and slavery in Latin America was both fundamentally different from and relatively benign compared with that of the United States.1 Yet the idea that race and slavery were the same phenomena across time, space, and mode of production (namely, plantation, cattle, gold mining, or urban artisan economies) is also untenable.2 One key feature of slavery that did vary significantly across the Americas from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century was the potential for slaves to gain their freedom through legal manumission or by running away. In the Greater Spanish Caribbean, the relative feasibility of slaves' self-purchase, escape, and gratuitous manumission led to far larger free populations of African descent than those that formed in the British colonies and eventually the United States. Indeed, in Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Caribbean Colombia, free people of color constituted the plurality or even majority of society at certain points (a feature that also characterized large regions, and ultimately all, of Brazil). -
Berlin - Wikipedia
Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory. -
Bosnian Muslim Reformists Between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina
Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Harun Buljina All rights reserved ABSTRACT Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina This dissertation is a study of the early 20th-century Pan-Islamist reform movement in Bosnia-Herzegovina, tracing its origins and trans-imperial development with a focus on the years 1901-1914. Its central figure is the theologian and print entrepreneur Mehmed Džemaludin Čaušević (1870-1938), who returned to his Austro-Hungarian-occupied home province from extended studies in the Ottoman lands at the start of this period with an ambitious agenda of communal reform. Čaušević’s project centered on tying his native land and its Muslim inhabitants to the wider “Islamic World”—a novel geo-cultural construct he portrayed as a viable model for communal modernization. Over the subsequent decade, he and his followers founded a printing press, standardized the writing of Bosnian in a modified Arabic script, organized the country’s Ulema, and linked these initiatives together in a string of successful Arabic-script, Ulema-led, and theologically modernist print publications. By 1914, Čaušević’s supporters even brought him to a position of institutional power as Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Reis-ul-Ulema (A: raʾīs al-ʿulamāʾ), the country’s highest Islamic religious authority and a figure of regional influence between two empires.
