IVAN STOJKOVIĆ FROM DUBROVNIK AS A READER OF ST. JEROME’S WORKS.

Ivan Stojković (oko 1395.–1443.) zauzima važno mjesto u povijesti Crkve, Pariškog sveučilišta i u hrvatskom narodu. S reputacijom izvrsnog diplomata, svestranog znanstvenika i strastvenog ljubitelja knjige, učeni dubrovački dominikanac utirao je putove europskim crkvenim i političkim integracijama u osvit modernog vremena. Prvi je od katoličkih mislilaca napisao traktat o Crkvi, raspravu o odvijanju ekumenskih sabora i biblijsku hermeneutiku, raspravu o pričesti pod obje prilike. Osobito je zanimanje pokazao za djela Jeronima iz Stridona, kojeg su svećenici glagoljaši smatrali »najslavnijim Hrvatom«, a hvarski dominikanac Vinko Pribojević »prvom slavom Dalmacije«, čija djela Stojković najčešće navodi u svojim brojnim spisima. U Jeronimovim spisima učeni Dubrovčanin nalazi argumente za svoje poimanje Petrova prvenstva i primata rimskih biskupa. Stojković u svojim diplomatskim misijama, izvješćima, koncilskim govorima i predstavkama uporno podsjeća na poraznu činjenicu da je »corpus christianorum« razdijeljen te preporučuje opći koncil kao jedinu moguću zajedničku tribinu koja će u slobodnoj raspravi združiti predstavnike kršćanskog Istoka i Zapada i spasiti se od moralnog rasapa i fizičkog uništenja.In the history of the Church, as well in the history of the University of Paris and Croatian people Ivan Stojković (ca. 1395-1443) was a rather prominent person. As extraordinary diplomat, multidisciplinary scientist and admirer of book this learned Dominican trod down paths of European ecclesiastical and political alliances and in a way anticipated coming of the early modern age. He was the first among catholic scholars who has written a tractate about the Church, an essay about ecumenical synods and a Biblical hermeneutics. In his work Stojković showed a particular interest in the works of St. Jerome of Stridon, who was among Slavic priests considered as »the most famous Croat«. Moreover, Dominican Vinko Pribojević called him »the first glory of Dalmatia«, and Stojković in his compositions quoted him many times. The probable reason why Stojković cited St. Jerome is the fact that Stojković in the saint’s works found support for his argumentations about the primacy of the St. Peter and the bishops of Rome. In his diplomatic missions, reports and speeches thoroughly maintained that corpus christianorum was divided and suggested an ecumenical synod where the representatives of the Christian East and West will discuss possibilities of the moral collapse and physical destruction of the Christian world

Study of small distorsions in Bi12MO20 oxides by simple exafs transmission technics

International audienceIn some Bi12 [A+xα B+yβ]O20 sillenite type phases the interatomic distances between oxygen and A or B cations located in tetrahedral sites of the lattice can be determined by EXAFS despite difficult recording conditions due to relatively low concentrations of A and B species in presence of strong absorbing bismuth

Functional MRI comparison of passive and active movement: possible inhibitory role of supplementary motor area:

Recent studies have hypothesized that the supplementary motor area plays a role in motor inhibition. To study this possible role, we used functional MRI study to compare conditions, which require various level of inhibition of motor patterns. Seventeen healthy participants were scanned while executing – actively or passively – rhythmic opening/closing movements of their right hand, with and without congruent visual information. The contrast passive>active movement in the visual guidance condition which requires inhibition in order ‘not’ to perform the movement, yields to significant activation of areas commonly involved in the inhibitory brain circuitry among which, notably, controlateral supplementary motor area
