  • THE "VIA FRANCIGENA" and the ITALIAN ROUTES to SANTIAGO by Paolo CAUCCI VON SAUCKEN (Italy) 1988
    THE "VIA FRANCIGENA" AND THE ITALIAN ROUTES TO SANTIAGO by Paolo CAUCCI VON SAUCKEN (Italy) 1988 http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paolo_Caucci_von_Saucken#Studi_ispanici The relationship between Italy and Santiago de Compostela dates back avery long way. Suffice it to point out that four of the 22 miracles described in Book II of the "Liber Sancti Jacobi" expressly concern Italian pilgrims. This shows that there was an interest in Santiago in the first half of the 12th century, and that specific links existed. Moreover, the frequent contacts between the Bishopric in Santiago de Compostela and Rome, many of which existed as a result of the pilgrims that went to one or other, are recorded in "Historia Compostellana", which also bears witness to the existence of Italian brotherhoods of former pilgrims as far back as 1120. It records that, on the occasion of a trip he made to Rome, to obtain the rank of Archbishopric for the bishopric in Santiago de Compostela, Bishop Porto was accompanied and supported by, " ceteri quam plures Ecclesiae beati jacobi confratres, qui Beatum jacobum-olim adierant, et seipsos ipsi apostoli subjugaverant. Propterea ecclesiam Beati jacobi usquequaque diligebant et eius Episcopum." Further proof of the strong links between Italy and Santiago, in the time of Gelmirez is provided by the fact that the sole relic of the apostle from Santiago cathedral was sent, after lengthy, voluminous correspondence, to Italy, there it prompted the establishment of a major centre of worship of St. James in Pistoia. Furthermore, as research into Italian involvement in pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela progresses, new information testifying to the existence of increasingly complex, intricate relations is constantly emerging.

  • 3D Imaging for Deciphering the Pathology of a Global Pandemic
    COVID19 - 3D imaging for deciphering the pathology of a global pandemic Danny D. Jonigk1,2 and Maximilian Ackermann3,4 1 Institute of Pathology, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany, 2 Member of the German Center for Lung Research (DZL), Biomedical Research in Endstage and Obstructive Lung Disease Hannover (BREATH), 3 Institute of Pathology and Department of Molecular Pathology, Helios University Clinic Wuppertal, University of Witten/Herdecke, Wuppertal, Germany, 4 Institute of Functional and Clinical Anatomy, University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Mainz, Germany, [email protected]; [email protected] However, while COVID-19 typically begins as an infection of the upper aerodigestive tract, it may progress to other visceral organs, including the lungs, the heart, the kidneys and the brain, with corresponding, albeit non-uniform clinical presentations. Pulmonary involvement therefore presents the leading manifestation of COVID-19 and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), its more severe form. COVID-19 ARDS shares common histological hallmarks with other infectious / non-infectious ARDS, like diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) with edema, hemorrhage and intra-alveolar fibrin deposition. .SARS-CoV-2 leads to angiocentric inflammation, endothelial damage, platelet activation, elevated D-dimer and fibrinogen, thrombosis and anomalous vascular architecture, suggesting microangiopathy. This manifests with alterations of the laminar blood flow and vasoconstriction and is apparently the result of a special form of vascularization, the so-called intussusceptive neoangiogenesis, which is thought to act as an aberrant reaction-to-injury mechanism. We are using multi-scale phase contrast x-ray tomography, microCT, microvascular corrosion casting, and molecular analyses as a tool to unravel the pathophysiology of COVID-19 in different organ samples of patients succumbed to COVID-19.

  • Ancient Genomes Provide Insights Into Family Structure and the Heredity of Social Status in the Early Bronze Age of Southeastern Europe A
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ancient genomes provide insights into family structure and the heredity of social status in the early Bronze Age of southeastern Europe A. Žegarac1,2, L. Winkelbach2, J. Blöcher2, Y. Diekmann2, M. Krečković Gavrilović1, M. Porčić1, B. Stojković3, L. Milašinović4, M. Schreiber5, D. Wegmann6,7, K. R. Veeramah8, S. Stefanović1,9 & J. Burger2* Twenty-four palaeogenomes from Mokrin, a major Early Bronze Age necropolis in southeastern Europe, were sequenced to analyse kinship between individuals and to better understand prehistoric social organization. 15 investigated individuals were involved in genetic relationships of varying degrees. The Mokrin sample resembles a genetically unstructured population, suggesting that the community’s social hierarchies were not accompanied by strict marriage barriers. We fnd evidence for female exogamy but no indications for strict patrilocality. Individual status diferences at Mokrin, as indicated by grave goods, support the inference that females could inherit status, but could not transmit status to all their sons. We further show that sons had the possibility to acquire status during their lifetimes, but not necessarily to inherit it. Taken together, these fndings suggest that Southeastern Europe in the Early Bronze Age had a signifcantly diferent family and social structure than Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age societies of Central Europe. Kinship studies in the reconstruction of prehistoric social structure. An understanding of the social organization of past societies is crucial to understanding recent human evolution, and several generations of archaeologists and anthropologists have worked to develop a suite of methods, both scientifc and conceptual, for detecting social conditions in the archaeological record 1–4.

Sacred Spaces as Sound Spaces in the Early Modern Period International and interdisciplinary conference Conference venues: German Historical Institute in Rome (12 December, 13 December morning) Biblioteca Vallicelliana (11 December afternoon) Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (13 December afternoon) S. Maria in Vallicella (11 December evening) Apostolic Palace (14 December morning) Concept and scientific organisation: Prof. Dr. Klaus Pietschmann and Dr. Tobias C. Weißmann (Research Project “CANTORIA – Music and Sacred Architecture”, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz) | German Historical Institute in Rome, Department of Music History Beginning in 15th century Italy, the polychoral musical performance practice and new compositio- nal developments in church music required the modification of venerable churches and the inte- gration of music spaces in new sacred buildings. This multifaceted change correlated with the rite and mass piety and enduringly affected the experience of liturgy and music. The most distinctive impact of this progress is epitomised by the installation of singer balconies and organ galleries on which top-class music ensembles and organists often performed and which served as stages for musical excellence. The permanent display of music advanced to become a core segment of sacred architecture while the potential of these spaces to promote identification becomes evident in numerous graffiti, as the singer pulpit in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican exemplifies. The conference explores the complex interdependencies between architecture, acoustics, musi- cal performance practice and rite in the interdisciplinary discourse between musicology, art and architecture history.
