The democratic origins of the term "group analysis": Karl Mannheim's "third way" for psychoanalysis and social science.

It is well known that Foulkes acknowledged Karl Mannheim as the first to use the term ‘group analysis’. However, Mannheim’s work is otherwise not well known. This article examines the foundations of Mannheim’s sociological interest in groups using the Frankfurt School (1929–1933) as a start point through to the brief correspondence of 1945 between Mannheim and Foulkes (previously unpublished). It is argued that there is close conjunction between Mannheim’s and Foulkes’s revision of clinical psychoanalysis along sociological lines. Current renderings of the Frankfurt School tradition pay almost exclusive attention to the American connection (Herbert Marcuse, Eric Fromm, Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer) overlooking the contribution of the English connection through the work of Mannheim and Foulkes

C1-Substituted N-Alkyl Tetrahydroisoquinoline Derivatives through V-Catalyzed Oxidative Coupling

In the THIQ of it:N-Alkyl tetrahydroisoquinolines are oxidatively coupled with a variety of nucleophiles in the presence of m-CPBA and [VO(acac)2]. This method has been applied to the synthesis of the opioid methopholine

Metathesis at an Implausible Site: A Formal Total Synthesis of Rhizoxin D

The new approach to the anticancer agent rhizoxin D described herein does not cohere with the conventional logic of metathesis, according to which macrocycles are best closed at a disubstituted olefinic site; rather, the trisubstituted C11−C12 alkene flanked by an allylic ‐OH group served as the pivot point for synthesis. This motif was attained in good yield and excellent selectivity by a sequence of alkyne metathesis, trans‐hydrostannation and cross coupling. Because the exact same substructure is prominently featured in numerous other natural products, the underpinning strategy, though unusual, might bear more general relevance

Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences: The Role of Financial Studies

Starting from 1969, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has become responsible for selecting Nobel laureates in Economic Sciences. In these 50 years 81 academics have been awarded with the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences; in this framework, the Royal Swedish Academy gave prizes to pure economists, finance experts and scholars investigating topics in between economics and finance. This paper first explains and describes quick facts about this important Prize and its origin, then analyses awarded fields and literature research done about this special topic. The core part of the paper investigates the choices of the Royal Swedish Academy, with a special focus on the financial theories awarded, in order to highlight the contributions of the academics awarded with the Nobel Prize to the development of the most accredited financial theories and practices
