Anders Fredrik Regnell Médico, botânico e doador Bo S. Lindberg Abstract Lindberg, B. S. 2019. Anders Fredrik Regnell. Médico, botânico e doador. 244 pp. Uppsala. Anders Fredrik Regnell was the largest private donor to Uppsala University of his time, but he was born in great poverty by an anonymous servant girl in Stockholm 1807. He spent his first years as a fosterling, but at the age of six, his father brought him to Uppsala, where he was given the opportunity to study. At the university, he studied botany for a few years, before entering medical school. After graduation and training as a doctor, he moved to Caldas in Brazil, which had a better climate for his weak lungs. Regnell was regarded as a very skilled doctor and ran a lucrative practice. He invested his profits in plantations and he also became known as the money-lender of the district, lending money at an interest rate of up to 20%. As he was a bachelor without offspring, he soon began to donate his fortune to medical and botanical institutions in Sweden. When he passed away, his entire estate went to Uppsala University. His main interest, however, was botany. From his arrival in Caldas in 1840, and up to his death in 1884, he collected plants. Many botanists visited him and stayed in his house for years. These plants are now exhibited in the Regnell herbarium at the Museum of Natural History in Stockholm. The herbarium holds more than 400 000 specimens and is one of the largest collections of South American plants in the world. Regnell was considered a peculiar man by those around him and he had few friends. His confidant was Isak Gustaf Clason, a classmate from Uppsala. They never met in person after Regnell left Sweden, but they regularly exchanged letters up to Clason´s death in 1880. These letters were donated to the University library in Uppsala and have been used for this book. © Bo S.

  • Anders Adolf Retzius
    Anders Adolf Retzius Anders Adolf Retzius (* 13. Oktober 1796 in Lund; † 18. April 1860 in Stockholm) war ein schwedischer Anatom und Anthropologe. Inhaltsverzeichnis Leben Wirken Beiträge zur Anatomie Beiträge zur Anthropologie Beiträge zur Kraniometrie Mitglied wissenschaftlicher Gesellschaften Eponyme Anatomie Auszeichnungen Werke (Auswahl) Anders Retzius Einzelnachweise Literatur Weblinks Leben Schon in seiner Kindheit wurde Retzius von seinem Vater Anders Jahan Retzius (1742–1821) mit der Naturgeschichte vertraut gemacht, insbesondere mit der Zoologie. Während seines Medizinstudiums in Lund und Kopenhagen stand er unter dem Einfluss des Anatomen Arvid Henrik Florman (1761–1840), der ihn in die Methoden der Präparation einführte. Im Jahre 1816 verbrachte Retzius ein Studienjahr in Kopenhagen und befreundete sich mit dem Anatomen Ludwig Levin Jacobson (1783–1843), dem Physiker Hans Christian Ørsted (1777–1851) und dem Zoologen Johan Christopher Hagemann Reinhardt (1776–1845). Nach seiner Rückkehr nach Lund beendete er dort sein Medizinstudium. 1817 erhielt er das Medizin licentiat und wurde 1818 zum kirurgie magister ernannt. 1819 legte er seine Dissertation über die Anatomie der Knorpelfische (Katzenhai) vor (Observationes in anatomiam chondropterygium praecipue Squali et rajae generum). Retzius diente als Militärarzt, zuerst in Schonen, später in Jämtland. 1823, vier Jahre nach seinem Doktorat, wurde Retzius Professor für Veterinärmedizin am Veterinär-Institut in Stockholm, wo er ein Anatomisches Museum gründete. Seit 1824 war er Lehrer der Anatomie am Karolinska-Institut, 1824 stellvertretender Professor (1830 zugleich Inspektor), das er als ordentlicher Professor der Anatomie von 1840 bis zu seinem Tode am 18. April 1860 leitete. Anders Retzius heiratete 1835; seine zweite Frau, die Mutter von Magnus Gustaf Retzius (1842–1919), war Emilia Sofia Wahlberg, eine Schwester des Botanikers und Entomologen Peter Fredrik Wahlberg (1800–1877).

  • Carl Peter Thunberg and Japanese Natural History
    ISSN: 2186-8476, ISSN: 2186-8468 Print Vol. 2 No. 2, June 2013 CARL PETER THUNBERG AND JAPANESE NATURAL HISTORY Bertil Nordenstam Department of Phanerogamic Botany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Box 50007, SE-10405 Stockholm, SWEDEN. 1 [email protected] ABSTRACT Carl Peter Thunberg (1743-1828) was the most famous of Linnaeus’s pupils and became known as the `Linnaeus of Japan`. However, he was a zoologist almost as much as a botanist and should be remembered also for his lasting contributions to zoology, especially entomology. He published about 160 zoological papers, 90 of which dealt with insects, and he described more than 1,500 new species of insects. One of his first scientific papers dealt with the new grasshopper genus Pneumora from South Africa. Thunberg’s insect collections amount to 36,000 specimens and are largely intact as today. He was also the author of several mammals, such as the Brown Hyaena, and a number of reptiles and fishes, including several new species from Japan. Keywords: Thunberg, Japanese natural history, Entomology, Linnaean disciple, Taxonomy, History of science INTRODUCTION We tend to think of Linnaeus and many of his foremost pupils as botanists. Linnaeus has been famed as ‘ Princeps botanicorum’ , and his perhaps most successful disciple, Carl Peter Thunberg (1743—1828; Fig. 1), has been named the ‘Father of South African Botany’ and also the ‘Linnaeus of Japan’. However, most of the Linnaean apostles, like Linnaeus himself, were medical doctors and zoologists as well – in fact they are better labeled as naturalists, or natural history scientists. Their academic positions were not in botany, but rather in medicine and botany, and similar combinations.

  • Elias Magnus Fries Och Carl Adolph Agardh Om Vetenskaplig Metodik Och Möjligheten Att Konstruera Ett Naturligt System Inom Botaniken
    Elias Magnus Fries och Carl Adolph Agardh om vetenskaplig metodik och möjligheten att konstruera ett naturligt system inom botaniken Lunds universitet Magnus Krook Språk- och litteraturcentrum Magisteruppsats LATM04 Lund 2014 Handledare: Professor Arne Jönsson Abstract Kring sekelskiftet 1800 dominerades den svenska botaniska forskningen av Carl von Linnés vetenskapliga gärning som hos hans omedelbara efterföljare stelnat i ortodoxi och brist på kreativitet. Den från Tyskland emanerande romantiska naturfilosofin med Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling som förgrundsgestalt gav efterhand avtryck även inom den svenska naturvetenskapen. Botanikerna Carl Adolph Agardh (1785-1859) och Elias Magnus Fries (1794-1878) var båda djupt påverkade av den romantiska filosofin i sina vetenskapliga arbeten. En av romantikens centrala idéer var att det bakom de olika naturalstrens mångfald fanns en enhet för naturforskaren att upptäcka, och både Agardh och Fries omfattade denna tanke fullt ut. Agardh var huvudsakligen specialiserad på alger, Fries ägnade sig åt svampar och lavar. Linné hade åstadkommit ett artificiellt system för växterna som fått stor spridning, men hans ouppfyllda mål var att upprätta ett naturligt system. Agardh och Fries tog vid där Linné slutade. Med utgångspunkt från den romantiska filosofin angriper de växtvärldens systematisering från var sin ände. Fries börjar med de högst utvecklade växterna och arbetar sig nedåt. Genom en strikt logisk metod delar han in växtvärlden i allt mindre enheter. Agardh avvisar däremot logikens användning inom biologin. Han utgår från de lägst utvecklade växterna och arbetar sig uppåt, en process där de empiriska erfarenheterna bit för bit fogas samman till en helhet. Agardh och Fries företrädde utvecklingstankar som stod i stark motsättning till den moderna evolutionsteorin.

  • 350 Years of Useful Research LU INNOVATION | LUND UNIVERSITY Innovations and Discoveries from Lund Lund University Is an Innovative University
    350 years of useful research LU INNOVATION | LUND UNIVERSITY Innovations and discoveries from Lund Lund University is an innovative university. For over 300 years, researchers from Lund have made discoveries and created innovations that have been of great signi­ fi­­­­­­cance for wider society. Here is a sample selection of discoveries from Lund through the ages: 1707 | HEALING WATER Professor of Medicine and Provincial Doctor Johan Jacob Döbelius discovered and developed the Ramlösa healing spring at the start of the eighteenth century. According to Döbelius, the water from the spring, which was rich in minerals, cured both scurvy and vertigo as well as gout and shaky joints. 1770 | NEW ORGANIC ACIDS By releasing organic acids, scientist Anders Jahan Retzius and apothecary Carl Wilhelm Scheele managed to produce tartaric acid in crystalline form. The new method led to their subsequent discovery of other polyatomic organic acids, such as citric acid and malic acid. 1801 | FIRST SWEDISH VACCINATION At the turn of the 19th century, Professor of Medicine Eberhard Zacharias Munck af Rosenschöld carried out the first smallpox vaccination in Sweden. The discovery was not his own, however, but borrowed from Edward Jenner, who carried out the first experimental vaccination in England as early as 1790. 1813 | SWEDISH MASSAGE AND GYMNASTICS Per Henrik Ling developed a system for massage and muscle stretching. Today the technique is known as Swedish or classical massage and is one of the most common forms of massage in the Western world. Ling later moved to Stockholm where he founded the Royal Central Institute for Gymnastics, now the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences.

  • CW Scheele, from Pharmacist's Apprentice to Man of Science
    ambix, vol. 55, No. 1, March 2008, 29–49 Stepping through Science’s Door: C. W. Scheele, from Pharmacist’s Apprentice to Man of Science1 HJALMAR FORS Division of History of Science and Technology, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm This reinterpretation of Carl Wilhelm Scheele’s (1742–86) early life and career analyses the social interplay between Scheele and other chemists who were active in eighteenth-century Sweden. It is argued that Scheele, a rather lowly journeyman working in peripheral pharmacies, had to work hard and traverse several geographical and social boundaries to gain a foothold in the scientifi c community. Eventually, Scheele’s skilful analysis of the mineral magnesia nigra would establish him as one of the pivotal Swedish chemists. However, this happened only after Scheele had managed to prove himself as a knowledgeable chemist who did not threaten the authority of certain socially superior colleagues. When Scheele had gained a place in the scien- tifi c community, the exchange logic of the eighteenth-century republic of letters permitted him to trade experimental results for other kinds of resources. Hence, he gained in both social status, economic prosperity and scientifi c prominence in a relatively short time. Carl Wilhelm Scheele has been, and still is, the object of much admiration. In biographical texts he is often portrayed as the perfect scientifi c hero: humble begin- nings, miraculous discovery, worldwide fame, and an early death caused by long hours spent working over poisonous substances in a drafty chemical laboratory. The legacy of his short life is said to be the discovery of a great number of chemical 1 This paper is based on chapter 6 in the author’s doctoral thesis Mutual Favours: The Social and Scientifi c Practice of Eighteenth-century Swedish chemistry, Institutionen för idé- och lärdomshistoria: skrifter 30 (Uppsala: Uppsala University, 2003).

Triarhou 1,2 1Graduate Program in Neuroscience and Education and 2Laboratory of Theoretical and Applied Neuroscience, University of Macedonia, Thessalonica, Greece Conflict of Interest: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest. Correspondence: L.C. Triarhou, University of Macedonia, Egnatia 156, Thessalonica 54636, Greece. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Anders Retzius (1796–1860), a renowned Swedish scientist, left important contributions to human and animal anatomy. He was the first to discover, in 1856, two small bulges as part of the medial segment of the hippocampal tail. These convolutions were named “gyri Andreae Retzii” by his son, Gustaf Retzius (1842–1919), in honor of their discoverer, his father. The gyri of Anders Retzius consist of a CA1 subfield and the subiculum. These areas feature marked connections with the entorhinal cortex and other hippocampal subfields. Only assumptions can be made at present regarding the physiological role of the gyri of Anders Retzius, in conjunction with the involvement of the CA1 hippocampal field in neuropathological conditions. Keywords Anders Adolf Retzius (1796–1860) · Magnus Gustaf Retzius (1842–1919) · CA1 hippocampal field · Subiculum · Entorhinal cortex connections · Place cells 2 Introduction Born in Lund, Sweden, the anatomist and anthropologist Anders Adolf Retzius (1796–1860) was initiated into zoology by his father, Anders Jahan Retzius (1742–1821), a professor of natural history at the University of Lund. Anders A. Retzius obtained his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Lund in 1819 and was appointed professor of anatomy at the Karolinska Institute at the age of 28 years [1, 2].

Bysten H som stod på golvet var så tung att ingen orkade flytta på den – än mindre sätta undan den på en hylla, där den förresten inte skulle ha fått plats. Hans forskningsrapporter var i folioformat: vackra, javisst, men också högfärdigt och överdrivet medvetna om sin egen betydelse. Inte heller hans rykte var det bästa: maktlysten, oresonlig, intrigant, kanske till och med rasist. Mest påminde han mig om en dinosaurie; respektingivande men urmodig och dömd att dö ut. Jag närmade mig honom försiktigt och avvaktande; nyfiken, men hela tiden beredd att backa ur. För att han skulle bli mer mänsklig kallade jag honom vid förnamn: Gustaf. I sin tid var han professor Gustaf Retzius, beundrad och hatad; i vår tid ville man utplåna hans namn från det Karolinska Institut som han älskade, och be om ursäkt för vad han hållit på med.
