Yet, much of the insight to be gained from seeing American Jewry as constitutively entangled in many ways with other Jewries has not yet been realized. Transnational American Jewish studies are still in their infancy. This issue of PaRDeS presents current research on the multiple entanglements of American with Central European, especially German-speaking Jewries in the 19th and 20th centuries. The articles reflect the wide range of topics that can benefit from a transnational understanding of the American Jewish experience as shaped by its foreign entanglements.}, language = {en} } @misc{HermanussenSchefflerMartinetal.2021, author = {Hermanussen, Michael and Scheffler, Christiane and Martin, Lidia and Groth, Detlef and Waxmonsky, James G. and Swanson, James and Nowak-Szczepanska, Natalia and Gomula, Aleksandra and Apanasewicz, Anna and Konarski, Jan M. and Malina, Robert M. and Bartkowiak, Sylwia and Lebedeva, Lidia and Suchomlinov, Andrej and Konstantinov, Vsevolod and Blum, Werner and Limony, Yehuda and Chakraborty, Raja and Kirchengast, Sylvia and Tutkuviene, Janina and Jakimaviciene, Egle Marija and Cepuliene, Ramune and Franken, Daniel and Navazo, B{\´a}rbara and Moelyo, Annang G. and Satake, Takashi and Koziel, Slawomir}, title = {Growth, Nutrition and Economy}, series = {Human Biology and Public Health}, volume = {2021}, journal = {Human Biology and Public Health}, number = {1}, editor = {Scheffler, Christiane and Koziel, Slawomir and Hermanussen, Michael and Bogin, Barry}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2748-9957}, doi = {10.52905/hbph.v1.1}, pages = {1 -- 13}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Twenty-three scientists met at Krobielowice, Poland to discuss the role of growth, nutrition and economy on body size. Contrasting prevailing concepts, re-analyses of studies in Indonesian and Guatemalan school children with high prevalence of stunting failed to provide evidence for an association between nutritional status and body height. Direct effects of parental education on growth that were not transmitted via nutrition were shown in Indian datasets using network analysis and novel statistical methods (St. Nicolas House Analysis) that translate correlation matrices into network graphs. Data on Polish children suggest significant impact of socioeconomic sensitivity on child growth, with no effect of maternal money satisfaction. Height and maturation tempo affect the position of a child among its peers. Correlations also exist between mood disorders and height. Secular changes in height and weight varied across decades independent of population size. Historic and recent Russian data showed that height of persons whose fathers performed manual work were on average four cm shorter than persons whose fathers were high-degree specialists. Body height, menarcheal age, and body proportions are sensitive to socioeconomic variables. Additional topics included delayed motherhood and its associations with newborn size; geographic and socioeconomic indicators related to low birth weight, prematurity and stillbirth rate; data on anthropometric history of Brazil, 1850-1950; the impact of central nervous system stimulants on the growth of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; and pituitary development and growth hormone secretion. Final discussions debated on reverse causality interfering between social position, and adolescent growth and developmental tempo.}, language = {en} } @misc{SchwarzBuffonEtteetal.2015, author = {Schwarz, Ingo and Buffon, Giuseppe and Ette, Ottmar and Garrido, Elisa and Heyd, Thomas and Lundberg, Karin and Werner, Petra}, title = {HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz}, series = {HIN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, volume = {XVI}, journal = {HIN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, number = {30}, editor = {Ette, Ottmar and Knobloch, Eberhard}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1617-5239}, doi = {10.18443/hinvol16iss302015}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-86895}, pages = {101}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Ingo Schwarz: „Uebrigens verbleibe ich mit besonderer Werthsch{\"a}tzung Euer gn{\"a}diger K{\"o}nig".
