Children aged about four suddenly become capable of recognising that an object can be described differently depending on how it is viewed. This apparently simple skill requires cognitive changes that are not far enough advanced until then. A project carried out by the Department of Psychology at the University of Salzburg with support from the FWF (Austrian Science Fund) reached this finding. |

Scientific 'objectivity' is moulded by contemporaneous general conditions. That is the central finding of a research project conducted by the Department of Anthropology of the Museum of Natural History in Vienna. In the scope of this work, the fate of 440 Jews abused as research objects in September 1939 was documented and analysed. As the project shows, the anthropological study conducted at the time was meant as the proof for the 'racial' differentness of Jews. With this finding, the project aided by the Austrian Science Fund contributes a critical angle to look at the history of science. |

Diabetes results from a permanently increased blood sugar level due to the fact that the pancreas does not produce enough insulin for sugar utilisation. Exact knowledge of sugar production is of special value for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Sponsored by the Austrian Science Fund, Prof. Michael Roden from the Department of Internal Medicine III, University of Vienna, has developed a method which makes it easier to determine glucose production and in particular endogenous glucose production and allows these measurements to be performed on living humans. Animal experiments will thus no longer be necessary for drug testing in the future. |
