A CRITICAL NOTE BY ABELE DE BLASIO (1902) ON THE ARCHAEO-ANTHROPOLOGICAL CONJECTURES OF LUIGI PALMIERI (1872)

This paper offers a description and explanation of a criticism written by Abel De Blasio in 1902 on the archaeological and anthropological conjectures that Luigi Palmieri had made in the past. In a note presented in 1872 at the Academy of Sciences of Naples, regarding some ancient tombs discovered by chance near the Observatory on Mount Vesuvius, Palmieri presented interpreta- tive observations that were unacceptable for specialists in anthropological studies and funerary archaeology

JOSEPH FRANK (1771-1842) AND PROFESSIONAL EVALUATION OF THE PHYSICIAN

U radu se nastoji analizirati i komentirati knjižicu koju je napisao i objavio krajem osamnaestog stoljeća Joseph Frank, sin još poznatijeg Johanna Petera Franka. U tom djelu autor preuzima zadatak educirati javnost da pažljivo važe stručno medicinsko osoblje, da izabere najprikladnije i najsposobnije za zaštitu zdravlja građana. Lik liječnika on razmatra pod različitim kutovima gledanja: od izvanjskoga prema fizičkome, od moralnih do intelektualnih kvaliteta, od ponašanje prema drugima prema ponašanju prema liječnicima – od kirurga i brijača do farmaceuta. Vrlo važno posljednje poglavlje posvećeno je stavu liječnika prema pacijentima. Frankova se knjiga uklapa u žanr medicinske literature osamnaestog stoljeća koji je imao očitu svrhu edukacije liječnika i pacijenata o pravilnom obavljanju međusobnih uloga u interesu zdravlja pojedinca i zaštite fizičke i mentalne dobrobiti populacija.The paper aims to analyze and comment on a booklet written and published at the end of the eighteenth century by Joseph Frank , son of the even more famous Johann Peter Frank. In this work the author takes on the task of educating the public to weigh carefully the medical professional to choose the most suitable and capable to safeguard the health of citizens. The figure of the doctor is considered under different viewing angles : from the exterior to the physical, the moral qualities to those intellectual , behavior toward others than toward physicians - surgeons and barbers to pharmacists . A full-bodied final chapter is devoted to the attitude of the doctor towards patients . Frank ‘s book fits into that genre of eighteenth-century medical literature that had the obvious purpose of educating physicians and patients on the correct performance of reciprocal roles in the interest of the health of the individual and the protection of physical and mental wellbeing of the population

MITS: the Multi-Imaging Transient Spectrograph for SOXS

The Son Of X-Shooter (SOXS) is a medium resolution spectrograph R~4500 proposed for the ESO 3.6 m NTT. We present the optical design of the UV-VIS arm of SOXS which employs high efficiency ion-etched gratings used in first order (m=1) as the main dispersers. The spectral band is split into four channels which are directed to individual gratings, and imaged simultaneously by a single three-element catadioptric camera. The expected throughput of our design is >60% including contingency. The SOXS collaboration expects first light in early 2021. This paper is one of several papers presented in these proceedings describing the full SOXS instrument

Optical design of the SOXS spectrograph for ESO NTT

An overview of the optical design for the SOXS spectrograph is presented. SOXS (Son Of X-Shooter) is the new wideband, medium resolution (R>4500) spectrograph for the ESO 3.58m NTT telescope expected to start observations in 2021 at La Silla. The spectroscopic capabilities of SOXS are assured by two different arms. The UV-VIS (350-850 nm) arm is based on a novel concept that adopts the use of 4 ion-etched high efficiency transmission gratings. The NIR (800- 2000 nm) arm adopts the '4C' design (Collimator Correction of Camera Chromatism) successfully applied in X-Shooter. Other optical sub-systems are the imaging Acquisition Camera, the Calibration Unit and a pre-slit Common Path. We describe the optical design of the five sub-systems and report their performance in terms of spectral format, throughput and optical quality. This work is part of a series of contributions describing the SOXS design and properties as it is about to face the Final Design Review.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures, published in SPIE Proceedings 1070
