This monograph seeks to show the level of involvement of the German academic world with Nazi postulates. Reading the articles, we can deduce that renowned scientists participated in the policies of the Third Reich, fully integrated within Nazi ideology, which resulted in the death and forced displacement of millions of people. This active and often even enthusiastic participation should motivate a deeper reflection on how educated minds of exceptional scientific value were abducted by the Nazi postulates, warning us against the resurgence of totalitarian and far-right movements in the world and thus redoubling our efforts to combat them from the very first moment.
这本专著试图表明德国学术界与纳粹假设的参与程度。阅读这些文章,我们可以推断出著名的科学家参与了第三帝国的政策,完全融入纳粹意识形态,导致数百万人死亡和被迫流离失所。这种积极的、甚至往往是热情的参与,应该激发我们更深入地思考,具有特殊科学价值的受过教育的头脑是如何被纳粹的假设绑架的,这提醒我们警惕极权主义和极右翼运动在世界上的死潮,从而从一开始就加倍努力与它们作斗争。

Exploring Nazism and its relationship with science and scientists is undoubtedly one of the most interesting research lines for historians studying Germany, scientists, and the elites. Indeed, for a long time «Nazi science» was considered the work of a minority of sages on the edge of madness and perversion, committed to political atrocities, without it affecting the rest of the German scientific landscape. But these assertions were brought down by numerous studies. On the one hand, only a negligible part of scientists refused to work for Nazi Germany: less than 1 % of university graduates resigned after the Machtergreifung , meaning that 99 % of university professors continued working in Nazified institutions. Anthropologists, physicians, historians, sociologists, linguists, and geographers benefited from research programmes that turned their disciplines into «legitimising sciences», i.e., «combatant sciences». The more or less certified commitment of many prominent scientific figures, such as the psychiatrist Johann Asperger or the physicist Werner Heisenberg, is not that surprising when we contextualise it with the broader history of elites. The scientific field was no exception in 1930s Germany: 1990s social history proved that the elites’ adherence to the National Socialist party and the Nazi racial determinism was connected to the great appeal of Nazi ideology’s appeasing belief system, but also to the existence of elitist organisations that allowed these specific circles to find a place for entre-soi socialisation and self-preservation. This is one of the great paradoxes of 1990s historiography. After mercilessly but fairly responding to the problems in Hannah Arendt’s work regarding Nazi «totalitarianism», social historiography tended to quietly confirm that National Socialism came to power by following the electoral strategy of a popular party, but with the support of extremely well-educated militant elites. That is how the party adapted to the most significant characteristic of totalitarian regimes. In the eyes of German philosophy, this structure was considered an unprecedented alliance between the masses and the elite. Deep down, how else can we define institutions such as the SS, the Ahnenerbe, or the Sicherheitsdienst? Or the Volkswissenschaftliche Arbeitskreis (“Population Ethnoscience Work Circle”), which grouped university specialists and SS officers to study the populations of some Eastern European territories with the aim to legitimise their conquest? Nazi science is not just a collection of skulls from exterminated Jewish citizens, nor is it a group of experts condemning entire populations like the Krymchak – a Jewish ethnic group from the Caucasus –, or indulgent speeches at university ceremonies, or inhumane medical experiments like submerging Soviet officers into freezing water in concentration camps.

对于研究德国的历史学家、科学家和精英来说,探索纳粹主义及其与科学和科学家的关系无疑是最有趣的研究路线之一。事实上,在很长一段时间里,《纳粹科学》被认为是少数处于疯狂和变态边缘的先贤的作品,他们犯下了政治暴行,而这并没有影响到德国科学界的其他领域。但这些断言被大量研究推翻了。一方面,只有微不足道的一部分科学家拒绝为纳粹德国工作:不到1 % 的大学毕业生在Machtergreifung之后辞职,这意味着99 % 一些大学教授继续在纳粹主义机构工作。人类学家、医生、历史学家、社会学家、语言学家和地理学家受益于将其学科转变为“合法科学”(即“战斗科学”)的研究计划。当我们将其与更广泛的精英历史联系起来时,许多著名科学人物,如精神病学家约翰·阿斯伯格或物理学家维尔纳·海森堡,或多或少都有着公认的承诺,这并不奇怪。科学领域在20世纪30年代的德国也不例外:20世纪90年代的社会历史证明,精英们对国家社会党和纳粹种族决定论的坚持与纳粹意识形态的绥靖信仰体系的巨大吸引力有关,但也要归功于精英组织的存在,这些组织让这些特定的圈子找到了一个进入社会和自我保护的地方。这是20世纪90年代史学的一大悖论。在无情但公平地回应了汉娜·阿伦特作品中关于纳粹“极权主义”的问题后,社会史学倾向于悄悄地证实,国家社会主义是通过遵循一个受欢迎政党的选举策略上台的,但得到了受过良好教育的激进精英的支持。这就是该党如何适应极权主义政权最重要的特点。在德国哲学的眼中,这种结构被认为是大众和精英之间前所未有的联盟。在内心深处,我们还能如何定义党卫军、阿赫内尔贝或西西里人等机构?还是Volkswissenschaftliche Arbeitskreis(“人口-民族科学工作圈”),该组织将大学专家和党卫军官员聚集在一起,研究一些东欧领土的人口,以使他们的征服合法化?纳粹科学不仅仅是从被灭绝的犹太公民身上收集头骨,也不是像来自高加索的犹太民族Krymchak那样谴责整个人口的专家小组 –, 或者在大学典礼上发表放纵的演讲,或者在集中营将苏联军官浸入冰冷的水中等不人道的医学实验。纳粹科学相当于日常的接受,相当于对顺从的缓慢而彻底的渗透,以及对意识形态的承诺,这种意识形态渗透到一切被装饰成充满希望的乌托邦的东西中,这是一种让人上瘾的巨大毒素,文化精英对此特别敏感。

El gran aumento de la poblacion mundial previsto para este siglo obligara a incrementar la produccion agricola de forma proporcional para asegurar la alimentacion. Sin embargo, actualmente la sociedad demanda nuevos metodos de produccion mas sostenibles y respetuosos con el medio ambiente. Para poder obtener este incremento sostenible es necesario hacer uso de las nuevas herramientas biotecnologicas, como la edicion genica o la biologia sintetica, y del conocimiento generado por los investigadores durante anos. El microbioma del suelo esta emergiendo como una poderosa herramienta biotecnologica. Estos microorganismos beneficiosos promueven el crecimiento vegetal a traves del aporte de nutrientes, produccion de hormonas o metabolitos secundarios. Por ello, el uso de estos microrganismos ayudara a incrementar la produccion agricola de forma sostenible.
世界人口预计将在本世纪大幅增长,这将迫使农业生产按比例增加,以确保粮食供应。然而,目前社会需要新的、更可持续的、尊重环境的生产方法。为了实现这一可持续增长,有必要利用新的生物技术工具,如基因编辑或合成生物学,以及研究人员多年来产生的知识。土壤微生物群正在成为一种强大的生物技术工具。这些有益的微生物通过提供营养、产生激素或次生代谢物来促进植物生长。因此,使用这些微生物将有助于以可持续的方式增加农业生产。

The extraordinary biodiversity of Earth is currently threatened by the destruction of natural habitats, climate change, invasive species, and overexploitation. More and more, ecologists are starting to recognise that preserving the maximum number of species is insufficient. If we want to preserve functional ecosystems for the future and continue to enjoy their benefits, we must also protect phylogenetic and functional diversity. But to do this, it is not enough to delimit protected areas, we must also learn to combine the exploitation of resources with the preservation of key elements of biodiversity that guarantee the stability and functioning of ecosystems.
地球非凡的生物多样性目前正受到自然栖息地破坏、气候变化、物种入侵和过度开发的威胁。越来越多的生态学家开始认识到,仅仅保护最大数量的物种是不够的。如果我们想为未来保护功能性生态系统并继续享受其好处,我们还必须保护系统发育和功能多样性。但要做到这一点,仅仅划定保护区是不够的,我们还必须学会将资源开发与保护生物多样性的关键要素结合起来,以保证生态系统的稳定性和功能。

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria currently represent one of the main public health problems and recent predictions indicate that they will soon become the world’s leading cause of death. The ill-fated journey from the introduction of antibiotics into clinical practice to the current threat of a post-antibiotic era has run its course in just a few decades. Thus, the evolution of antibiotic resistance is probably the most spectacular example of evolution of a biological system innovation that we have had the opportunity to observe in real time. This text discusses some of the evolutionary and molecular keys that have allowed bacteria to go down this path.
耐抗生素细菌目前是主要的公共卫生问题之一,最近的预测表明,它们将很快成为世界上主要的死亡原因。从将抗生素引入临床实践到目前的后抗生素时代的威胁,这段命运多舛的旅程在短短几十年里就走完了。因此,抗生素耐药性的进化可能是我们有机会实时观察到的生物系统创新进化中最引人注目的例子。本文讨论了一些进化和分子的关键,使细菌沿着这条路走下去。

The 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine caused the worst human-caused release of radioactive material in history. Initial forecasts considered that the area affected by radioactive contamination would be devoid of life for millennia. Three decades later, the biodiversity of the area has completely recovered and all the large mammals of Eastern Europe, as well as over 200 bird species, now live in Chernobyl. The mechanisms that allow organisms to live in this area are still the subject of study and controversy. There is currently no scientific consensus on the medium- and long-term impact of radiation on the nature of the area. Thus, basic research is required in Chernobyl to understand the effects that radioactive contamination had on biodiversity there. The area is also an excellent natural laboratory for studying eco-evolutionary processes in response to human activity.
1986年乌克兰切尔诺贝利核电站的事故造成了历史上最严重的人为放射性物质泄漏。最初的预测认为,受放射性污染影响的地区将在数千年内没有生命。三十年后,该地区的生物多样性已经完全恢复,东欧的所有大型哺乳动物以及200多种鸟类现在都生活在切尔诺贝利。生物在这一区域生存的机制仍然是研究和争议的主题。关于辐射对该地区的中长期影响,目前尚无科学共识。因此,需要在切尔诺贝利进行基础研究,以了解放射性污染对那里生物多样性的影响。该地区也是研究人类活动下的生态进化过程的绝佳自然实验室。

Una visión evolutiva del síndrome supracondilar. Sobre atavismos y la aparición de los primeros tetrápodos 髁上综合征的进化观点。关于返祖和第一批四足动物的出现

Understanding the evolution and function of structures in the past is key to understanding current biodiversity. This paper shows how an evolutionary perspective can help us to understand supracondylar syndrome. This pathology is caused by compression of the median nerve and/or the brachial artery in the arm and affects a significant percentage of the human population. We propose that this neuropathy is an atavism (the reappearance of an ancestral characteristic that had been lost along our evolutionary lineage) of the entepicondylar foramen: a channel present at the lower end of the humerus through which the brachial artery and the median nerve pass in some mammals. The origin of the foramen has been identified in the first tetrapods, and we propose that its original function could be linked to the evolutionary innovation of the cervical brachial plexus as well as the subsequent evolution of the entepicondylar foramen in amniotes – a group of terrestrial vertebrates that encompasses current reptiles and amphibians – and that it may be vestigial. 
了解过去结构的演化和功能是了解当前生物多样性的关键。本文展示了如何从进化的角度来帮助我们理解髁上综合征。这种病理是由压迫正中神经和/或臂动脉引起的,影响很大比例的人群。我们认为这种神经病变是髁外孔的返祖现象(在我们的进化谱系中失去的祖先特征的重现):在一些哺乳动物中,肱动脉和正中神经通过肱骨下端的一个通道。孔的起源已经在第一批四足动物中被确定,我们提出它的原始功能可能与颈臂丛的进化创新以及羊膜动物(一组陆生脊椎动物,包括现在的爬行动物和两栖动物)的后髁外孔的进化有关,并且它可能是退化的。

The origin of the foramen has been identified in the first tetrapods, and we propose that its original function could be linked to the evolutionary innovation of the cervical brachial plexus as well as the subsequent evolution of the entepicondylar foramen in amniotes – a group of terrestrial vertebrates that encompasses current reptiles and amphibians – and that it may be vestigial. ","PeriodicalId":41648,"journal":{"name":"Metode Science Studies Journal","volume":"151 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71305687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When asked about cancer, most would first think of it as a devastating disease. Some might add that lifestyle (e.g., smoking) or environmental pollution has something to do with it, but also that it tends to occur in old people. Cancer is indeed one of the most common causes of death in humans, and its incidence increases with age. Yet, focusing on our own species, we tend to overlook something very elementary: cancer is not unique to humans. In fact, it is a phenomenon that unifies diverse branches of the tree of life. Exploring the diversity of ways in which different organisms cope with it can lend us novel insights on cancer. In turn, by acknowledging cancer as a selective pressure, we can better understand the evolution of the biodiversity that surrounds us.
当被问及癌症时,大多数人首先想到的是一种毁灭性的疾病。有些人可能会补充说,生活方式(如吸烟)或环境污染与此有关,但它也往往发生在老年人身上。癌症确实是人类最常见的死亡原因之一,其发病率随着年龄的增长而增加。然而,当我们把注意力集中在我们自己的物种上时,我们往往会忽略一些非常基本的东西:癌症并不是人类独有的。事实上,这是一种将生命之树的不同分支统一起来的现象。探索不同生物体应对癌症的方式的多样性,可以让我们对癌症有新的认识。反过来,通过承认癌症是一种选择压力,我们可以更好地理解我们周围生物多样性的进化。
