The "Revival" of Abram Leon: The "Jewish Question" and the American New Left

The Jewish Question: A Marxist Interpretation, by Abram Leon, was the most influential book among critics of Zionism during the New Left era. It was first published in 1946 but did not receive significant public attention in the next two decades. However, during the late 1960s and early 1970s, it became a bestseller in terms of theoretical Marxist literature. Focusing on its re-publication in the United States in 1971, this article explores why the book's popularity transformed, almost overnight. Its main argument is that although current research deals mostly with Leon’s theoretical importance, the book’s revival in the 1960s and 1970s should be explained from a social and political perspective. Leon’s claims against Zionism, which had been developed in the late 1930s, lost their relevance after the Second World War as a result of the establishment of the state of Israel as well as the crisis of the global Left in the 1950s. They gained new importance only under new conditions: the rise of the New Left’s interest in the Middle-East conflict, the struggle between the anti- and pro-Zionist Jews of the New Left following the Six-Day War, and internal debates among the anti- and pro-Zionist Jews themselves. The "revival" of Abram Leon therefore reveals the ideological, organizational and social ties between the Old and the New Left, as well as the general interaction between ideology and social and political conditions

La contribución de la ALFIN a la Ciencia Abierta

O campo de atuação da Ciência Aberta traduz-se num processo colaborativo, transparente, de disseminação, criação e de transferência de conhecimento, acessível à investigação e assente nos princípios do acesso aberto. Os diferentes agentes do processo de investigação, munidos de um conjunto de competências de literacia da informação, adquirem a aptidão, em ambientes de informação impressa ou digital, e tendo por base o seu próprio pensamento crítico e reflexivo, de transformar a informação em novo conhecimento. Este artigo explora a integração dos conceitos da Ciência Aberta na literacia da informação. Apresenta-se uma reflexão teórica que evidencia os contributos da literacia da informação em contexto académico e na dinâmica da produção de ciência. Conclui-se que a literacia da informação se assume como uma ferramenta de aprendizagem essencial para o desenvolvimento da Ciência Aberta, potenciando o entendimento crítico dos conteúdos, a par do desenvolvimento e do progresso da investigação.The scope of Open Science translates into a collaborative, transparent process of dissemination, creation, and transfer of knowledge, accessible to research and based on the principles of open access.

Data from: Hydrodynamic regime determines the feeding success of larval fish through the modulation of strike kinematics

Larval fishes experience extreme mortality rates, with 99% of a cohort perishing within days after starting to actively feed. While recent evidence suggests that hydrodynamic factors contribute to constraining larval feeding during early ontogeny, feeding is a complex process that involves numerous interacting behavioural and biomechanical components. How these components change throughout ontogeny and how they contribute to feeding remain unclear. Using 339 observations of larval feeding attempts, we quantified the effects of morphological and behavioural traits on feeding success of Sparus aurata larvae during early ontogeny. Feeding success was determined using high-speed videography, under both natural and increased water viscosity treatments. Successful strikes were characterized by Reynolds numbers that were an order of magnitude higher than those of failed strikes. The pattern of increasing strike success with increasing age was driven by the ontogeny of traits that facilitate the transition to higher Reynolds numbers. Hence, the physical growth of a larva plays an important role in its transition to a hydrodynamic regime of higher Reynolds numbers, in which suction feeding is more effective
