901. A Human Paradox: The Nazi Legacy of Pernkopf's Anatomy Atlas (2021) (1:03:00)

Main contributors:
Beckman, Emily, Hartsock, Jane A.
Summary:
Lecture delivered by Emily S. Beckman, DMH (Director and Assistant Professor, Medical Humanities and Health Studies, IUPUI) and Jane A. Hartsock, JD, MA (Director of Clinical Ethics, Indiana University Health) on March 19, 2021. This event was sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society, IU School of Medicine History of Medicine Student Interest Group, IUPUI Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program, and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library. Eduard Pernkopf’s Atlas of Topographical and Applied Human Anatomy is a four-volume anatomical atlas published between 1937 and 1963, and it is generally believed to be the most comprehensive, detailed, and accurate anatomy textbook ever created. However, a 1997 investigation into “Pernkopf’s Atlas” raised troubling questions regarding the author’s connection to the Nazi regime and the still unresolved issue of whether its illustrations relied on Jewish or other political prisoners, including those executed in Nazi concentration camps. Following this investigation, the book was removed from both anatomy classrooms and library bookshelves. Having encountered a first edition copy at the Ruth Lilly Medical Library, these authors were given a unique opportunity to engage with the text through the respective humanities lenses of history, ethics, and narrative. In this talk, Beckman and Hartsock recount the difficult and somewhat opaque provenance of this book, engage the ethical questions surrounding both its creation and its use, and ultimately propose a pedagogical methodology for its continued use in medical education.

905. A Kuhnian Perspective on Publication Biases and Low Inter-Rater Reliability (1:35:31)

Date:

Main contributors:
Carole J. Lee
Summary:
The incentives, review processes, and norms of peer review provide the foundation for sustaining the piecemeal contribution and critique of knowledge in scientific communities. However, a growing industry of empirical research challenges the normative well-functioning of expert peer review. Inter-rater reliability rates for expert reviewers is low enough to be considered “poor” by psychometric standards. Moreover, publication biases skew the results of meta-analyses and suppress the communication of results that should inform the design of future studies. Rather than adopt a normatively pessimistic interpretation of these results, I suggest that a Kuhnian perspective about the flexibility with which shared evaluative criteria can be interpreted and applied can reframe these results in ways that construe them as normatively appropriate while suggesting new empirical and normative questions. Although this Kuhnian perspective does not ameliorate problematic secondary consequences of low inter-rater reliability rates and publication biases (such as the “luck of the reviewer draw” and skewed meta-analyses), I suggest that modifications to discipline-wide communication structures can be adopted to address these concerns.

Main contributors:
Pouyan Shahidi
Summary:
Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna) (980-1037 CE), the renowned physician-philosopher and polymath, lived a life of nonstop writing and constant traveling. Organizing his scholarly works was a task initiated by his disciples, continued by medieval biobibliographers, and grappled with by modern historians of philosophy and science. In my doctoral project I am interested in two of his many fields of scholarship as well as the interaction between the two—namely celestial natural philosophy (celestial physics), and mathematical astronomy. Like my fellow medieval and modern historians of Ibn Sīnā’s corpora, I found his wanderlust and prolificacy a complicating factor in tracing his authorship in time and space. In this talk, I show how I resolved this complication by visualizing Ibn Sīnā life journey on a multilayered map, and how, using the vector data that I produced in the process, I ran a geospatial analysis to detect the time and place where he was most active in writing on the two abovementioned fields of knowledge. I will outline the workflow behind my digital humanity project including data collection, thinking about taxonomy for data organization, choice of platform, building a geodatabase with multiple layers, data visualization and analysis using a number of ArcGIS desktop and online platforms.

Summary:
We are conducting a population-based case-control study in the City of Philadelphia to investigate how the nature and whereabouts of adolescents’ daily activities relate to the likelihood of being shot in an assault. Each subject is interviewed using portable, computerized mapping technology, to create a dynamic graphic that provides a minute-by-minute record of how, when, where, and with whom the subject spent time over the course of the past 24 hours as he or she walked or otherwise traveled from location to location and activity to activity. Afterward, characteristics of streets, buildings, and neighborhood populations are linked into each subjects’ space-time activity path. The ultimate goal is to inform communities of place-based risk factors and to identify opportunities to make communities safer. Implications of the methodologic approaches to this innovative space-time analysis will be presented.
