Biography_Lind_ENG.pdf Biography: James Lind 1 Storytelling Teaching Model: wiki.science-stories.org © 2012, S@TM Research Group Biography: James Lind (1716-1794) James Lind was a Scottish physician. He was a pioneer of naval hygiene in the Royal Navy. He developed the theory that citrus fruits cured scurvy . Besides his publications on scurvy (A Treatise on the Scurvy, 1753) Lind published essays on fevers and infections (1763), on diseases incidental to Europeans in hot climates (1768), on jail distemper (1773), and on the most effectual means of preserving the health of seamen (1779). His recommendations contained a number of important and innovative ideas concerning hygiene, nutrition, the importance of fire and fumigation in combating infection, and on the destruction of clothing and bedding in order to prevent the spread of typhus. He wrote: ...almost all diseases are easier prevented than removed”. James Lind was born on October 4, 1716, in Edinburgh, Scotland. His parents were Margaret (nee Smelum) and James Lind, a prosperous merchant. Like all young, well-placed Briton received a good basic education (he was graduated from high school in Edinburgh) and in the 1731 began his medical studies. He was a student (apprentice) of physician-surgeon George Langlands. After completing his training in 1739 he set off south and joined the British Royal Navy (as an assistant surgeon - surgeon's mate),. The next nine years he spent voyaging in the Mediterranean, off West Africa, and in the West Indies .and in 1747, he was promoted. This was due to the start the service on the HMS "Salisbury", on board of which Lind conducted the first in the history of medicine, controlled medical experiment. He carried out experiments to discover the cause of scurvy, the symptoms of which included loose teeth, bleeding gums and haemorrhages. In a war (this war was on the Austrian Succession) weeklong cruises caused mass illness of sailors from scurvy. James Lind divided sick sailors into six groups and give each a definite diet containing one of the specifics at that time considered to be useful for scurvy (cider, beer, vitriol, sea water, pasta with garlic and mustard, Barley's water and citrus). Sailors receiving citrus fruits quickly return to health after a week of experiment, some of them could return to service. In 1750 James Lind was elected a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (Edinburgh) and seven years later became its treasurer. He also became a member of the Philosophical and Medical Society of Edinburgh. But his important scientific findings he published in 1753 in his classic work A Treatise on the Scurvy and dedicated it to Lord Anson, the First Lord of the Admiralty, who as a commodore had sailed round the world in 1740 and knew all about the ravages of this disease. Unfortunately, this work was by the medical community ignored. Lind was not the discoverer of the beneficial effect of citruses. Already in 1601, the British East India Company, and specifically Cpt. James Lancaster has provided his sailors with oranges and lemons, so the crew escaped scurvy. In the seventeenth century the Dutch founded citrus orchards along the ocean route around Africa and conducted horticultural experiments on the board ships. After the publication of Lind's many of doctors on the Royal Navy board tried to fight scurvy with citrus juice, a breakthrough was one very long, twenty-three week trip to India. In 1794, Captain of HMS "Suffolk", Peter Rainier, 2 Biography: James Lind Storytelling Teaching Model: wiki.science-stories.org under the pressure of Admiral Alan Gardner, ordered to give each seaman daily 2/3 ounces of lemon juice mixed with grog. The decision was salutary, there was not an epidemic of scurvy. But, only a year after the death of James Lind, in 1795, the Admiralty decided to introduce this preventive measure for all ships. Thanks to that, the scurvy ceased to be a problem in the Royal Navy. Shortly after the end of the experiment on board HMS "Salisbury" James Lind ended up serving in the Navy and returned to Scotland, where he began his studies at the University of Edinburgh for the degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD). Due to his excellent education and many years of practice, this degree has been given to him already in 1748. His versatility shows e.g. on the thesis, which is concerned with... venereal diseases. After graduation he began medical practice in Edinburgh. He married Isobel Dickie and had two sons - John and James. Both instilled in his two passions - sea and medicine. The elder son, John (1751-1794) followed in his father's footsteps, became a doctor and in 1783 succeeded him as the chief medical of Haslar Hospital. The younger son, James (1752-1823), like his father, began his career in the Navy. He served at sea for many years, rising to the rank of captain. He commanded HMS "Centurion" has played a significant role in the Battle of Vizagapatam in 1804, for which James Lind Jr. was knighted. In 1758, James Lind was appointed as the chief physician of Royal Naval Hospital Haslar in Gosport on the south of England. In this hospital patients were treated with typhoid fever including. Lind has introduced stringent hygiene requirements on the top floor of the hospital, the sick sailors were bathed, lice deprived and sheets were disinfected and changed. These actions led to the situation in which typhus disappeared from that floor but raged on floors below, where the hygiene measures were not implemented. These observations of Lind led to the introduction of compulsory shaving, bathing and regular change of bed linen and clothing in the Royal Navy. As a result, the British sailors not often suffered from typhoid fever, giving the British Navy a significant advantage over their main opponents - the French. The sailors were sent to the Haslar hospital with many tropical diseases. This allowed of James Lind for the observation of symptoms of these diseases and their treatment. W 1768, Lind published an essay on diseases of Europeans in hot climates (An Essay on Diseases Incidental to Europeans in Hot Climates), which was the main source of information on tropical medicine for 50 years. The versatility of Lind was due to his skills of observation, reasoning and binding in many fields of science. In 1759, Lind discovered that the water obtained from a vapour of heated sea water was fresh and was suitable for drinking. He also proposed the use of solar energy for water distillation. Unfortunately, the technology at that time did not allow for effective distillation of useful scale. It was not until the introduction of a new kind of stoves in 1810 allowed for the implementation of this, from the point of view of navigation, a momentous discovery. In 1783 Lind became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and retired. He died on 13 July 1794, at the age of 78, two years before his wife, and was buried in Porchester Church. Deservedly, he is widely regarded as the first modern clinical investigator.

Even with the concern about the adequacy of one’s diet in terms of vitamins, proteins, starch, fruit and carbohydrates, nutrition must be understood beyond eating as a necessity. The roots of trophology, as a science, lie in historic scientific and sociological accomplishments. Initially, the key experiments to verify the links among consumption, energy, and work were conducted within the context of the sociological turmoil of the Industrial Revolution, a time when humans were seen as a resource or, perhaps, more precisely, as living machines. The consequences of industrialization with its new innovations during the late 18th and early 19th century in Europe and North America, such as the mechanization of textile manufacturing, forced countries to employ more workers to manage the increased workload The challenge of converting raw material and supplies into new goods was coupled with that of providing suitable nourishment for the rising number of workers. Hermann von Helmholtz (1821 – 1894) The groundwork for determining the mathematical relationship between raw materials and products and between food consumption and workload was laid by Hermann von Helmholtz (Helmholtz, 1915)1 in 1847 in his formulation of the law of the conservation of energy—the belief that every physical force stood in equilibrium with an equivalent counter-force In terms of physiology, the laws of energy conservation and energy conversion stand next to the ex- periments of Max Rubner who measured the energy converted from food into heat and mechanical work (Rubner, 1902). Several other scientists worked on a theory of nutrition and work to enhance human performance in industry and the military. Of equal importance was prevalence and cause of diseases and the need for cures, which had not yet been assimilated into a theory of trophology. The two most common deficiency diseases were beriberi (a word derived from the language of Polynesian natives meaning “I can’t move, I can’t move”) and scurvy, an illness well known to seamen. It took researchers until 1912 to uncover the nutritional component the vitamin—the “vital amin”—the lack of which was the cause of both diseases. Max Rubner (1854 – 1932) Consumption The well-known adage “No army can march on an empty stomach” illustrates the equilibrium between food consumption and work, but not, necessarily, the work typical for a soldier. Ancient sources written by Roman quartermasters around 100 AD reveal that Ro- man legionnaires lived on an average ration of some 850 grams of grain per day, complemented by meat, vegetables, and fruit (Roth 1995). The figures for the amount of food transported by the Macedonian troops of Alexander II, in his 13-year campaign against the Persian Empire four centuries earlier, equate to compa- rable rations (Hanson 1999, pp. 165 ff.). The accounts originating in the civilian life of Egyp- tian workers in Mesopotamia show a monthly ration of three bar of grain, resulting in an average of 700 grams of flour per worker per day (Huber 2006, pp. 303 – 330). Considering their work was possibly not as strenuous as that of the Macedonian or Roman infantry soldier, the figures, covering a time span from 1000 BC to 100 AD produce a reliable average of the daily nour- ishment requirement. The records all show that grain and meat were the basis of the daily diet of the workers. Historical Background: Nutrition 1 Storytelling Teaching Model: http://science-story-telling.eu 2 Historical Background: Nutrition Storytelling Teaching Model: http://science-story-telling.eu Work and Feeding the Poor Benjamin Thompson (1753 – 1814), known as Count Rumford after 1792, 1 was an American-born British officer who had fought on the British side during the American War of Independence. After gathering both political and military experience in England’s struggle with its renegade colonies, he returned to England in 1782.2 Put on half-pay, he soon left England to search for a new position among the armies of Europe and did so in Bavaria, where the Prince-elector hired him to conduct reforms on both the military and the social system of his country. Thompson took his leave from the British Army, was granted knighthood for his ser- vices to the British crown, and took up his new post in Munich on March 11, 1784. From 1784 to 1788, he worked on the reform pro- gram in Bavaria. He made an extensive investigation of the military and social systems of the two dominating countries in central Europe, Austria and Prussia, and compared the conditions and costs of the armed forces in these countries to those in Bavaria. In late 1788, he presented a reform program to the Elector of Bavaria. He stressed three particular aims to guide the reforms: 1. to end the discrimination and exclusion of the soldier as a professional, 2. to increase the number of troops hired and raise the wages paid to every soldier without raising the annual budget of the Bavarian Army, and 3. to permit the armed forces to serve in a civilian capacity in peacetime. The second and third aims, especially, led to Thompson’s major contribution in terms of feeding the masses. Since he proposed not to increase the budget of the Bavarian army while increasing the number of troops and their wages, he had to find a means to re- duce costs. The first measure was to lower the costs of the soldiers’ uniforms by employing Munich’s beggars in the recently founded militärisches Arbeitshaus (mili- tary workhouse). His plan also tackled the beggar prob- lem by educating the beggars and encouraging them to become independent and make a living.3 1 Thompson’s title Count Rumford refers to the American town in New Hampshire where he married his first wife. The town is called Concord today (see Bouton 1857). 2 Thompson served as Under-Secretary of State for the Colo- nies until 1781 and as Colonel of the King’s American Dra- goons until this regiment was withdrawn to England. 3 Rumford accounted that 7% of the inhabitants of Munich made a living from begging in the streets even though a large number of those beggars were obviously sane and able to work (see Möhl 1903, p.33). Attached to the workhouse was a soup kitchen, which soon became the key facility of the workhouse. Thompson figured out that he could prepare a meal for all the workers that would cost less than any individual would spend to nourish himself. The workers received a free lunch in the soup kitchen consisting of 20 ounces of soup. Thompson developed and published various recipes to prepare as much as 1200 portions of soup at one time, which became known as “Rumford soup.” Initially, it was a mixture of pearl barley, peas, salt, vinegar, and water, but later it was refined with the ad- dition of potatoes and sliced bread.4 Even though it provided a sound basis of carbohy- drates (from the potatoes and the barley) and protein (from the peas), there was, however, some criticism about the Rumford soup. While it had a highly filling effect on the consumers, it did not nourish them well – at least not the adults. Today’s calculations indicate that the first version of Rumford soup provided 570 calories, and the second version, with the substitution of pota- toes for some of the pearl barley, provided only 420 calories.5 Considering, by modern standards, that the 4 The publication of the recipe included the cost for the fuel used in the kitchen and the wages of the cook and the clerks who served the soup to the recipients (Thompson 1804, pp. 274 & 276). 5 Families were encouraged to bring their children to the military workhouse, where they could attend school and Figure 1: Original recipe of Rumford Soup No. 2. The first refinement made was to substitute parts of the barley with potatoes. The soup became considerably cheaper by the use of potatoes. Historical Background: Nutrition 3 Storytelling Teaching Model: http://science-story-telling.eu adult daily intake should be approximately 2000 calo- ries, it is evident that the Rumford soups were efficient only in feeding someone at a low cost but not in meet- ing the daily nutritional requirement, especially for a solid day’s work in the military workhouse. In this re- spect, it failed to fulfill Rumford’s plan to nourish his workers. Welfare organizations, however, adopted the Rumford soup recipe and used it to support homeless people and those unable to work during the Napoleon wars.6 Balancing Input and Output Santorio Santorio (1561 – 1636) was an Italian physi- cian who published his treatise Ars de statica medicina in 1614. The book deals mainly with research on hu- man metabolism and was, in part, based on experi- ments Santorio conducted on himself. On the opening page of his book, one finds an illustration of the ex- help with minor tasks if they wanted to do so (see Redlich 1971, pp. 184 – 216). 6 Today, a broad variety of “Rumford’s soups” exist whose recipes may not have much in common with the soups originally devised by Thompson for use in the soup kitch- ens of the workhouses. perimental setup used. It shows Santorio sitting on a scale (a so-called weighing chair) and a table with cut- lery and dishes next to him. Over a period of some 30 years, he documented the weight of what he ate and drank (ingesta), as well as the excrement (excreta), and accounted for the difference between those two as in- sensible perspiration (Toellner 2000, p. 2371). He found out that the “weight” of the insensible perspiration–2.5 pounds per day on average–was greater than one of his excrements. Santorio accounted for a number of factors such as illness, age, physical activity, nourishment, and sleep, which could increase or decrease the insensible perspiration. Additionally, he invented measurement devices to determine pulse and body temperature. His findings are the first results from a long-term study on human metabolism. Energy in Combustion Whereas Santorio concentrated on the weight of the nourishment he consumed, French scientist Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier (1743 – 1794) focused on heat and combustion.7 The definition of heat was still driven by the ideas of the phlogiston theory. Although this theory was subsequently abandoned in Lavoisier’s time, Lavoisier, himself, contributed a major part to this sci- entific revolution. He strongly believed in the fact that mass was conserved in chemical reactions, an idea originating from the scientific endeavors of the Enlightenment. The idea of mass conservation was the key to one of his most important findings in chemistry, namely, oxidation. Lavoisier realized that when a metal became rusty, the mass of the calcified metal (“calx”, usually weighed in powdered form) had a greater weight than the origi- nal piece of metal. Lavoisier also found that the process could be reversed, that is, when the calx was reduced to the metal by heating, its weight decreased. The phlogis- ton theory could not explain these changes of masses because heat, according to prevailing ideas, was an im- ponderable (weightless) element. Lavoisier developed the idea that the composition of air might be the key to the changes in mass and aligned his experiments with this theory. The theory of combustion could not be further de- veloped until Lavoisier and Priestley, a British chemist, combined their respective scientific findings. The two respected one another mutually even though they had different opinions on the nature of combustion. 7 The Encyclopedia Britannica honors Lavoisier’s accom- plishments by calling him “Father of Modern Nutrition,” online version http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/332700/Antoi ne-Laurent-Lavoisier, dated March 21, 2012 Figure 2: Santorio Santorio in his weighing chair http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/332700/Antoine-Laurent-Lavoisier http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/332700/Antoine-Laurent-Lavoisier 4 Historical Background: Nutrition Storytelling Teaching Model: http://science-story-telling.eu Priestley’s views were strongly related to the phlogiston theory, but he controlled his experimental environment better than Lavoisier. Priestley was keenly aware that the air produced during an experiment was different from normal air.8 Lavoisier repeated the experiment of heating common red precipitate of mercury in the same manner as Priestley but paid closer attention to the gas produced in the process. Following his analysis, he found the difference between the experimental gas and fresh air, isolating the element involved in the calcifica- tion process and called it oxygen, referring to the Greek words for “making something sharp” (freely interpreted as “acid producer because of the sour taste of acids). Although Priestley had conducted the same experi- ment, he had not identified oxygen as an element; in- stead, he characterized the gas produced as “de- phlogistated air,” strictly following the phlogiston the- ory. Lavoisier used his newly found knowledge to in- clude oxygen as part of a chemical reaction and was able to extend his theory to the effects of calcination and combustion. Energy in Food Today, the word calorie is synonymous with energy. Many products in modern supermarkets identify the contained energy in kilocalories and the amount of car- 8 Experiment conducted by Joseph Black in 1750 in which he discovered carbon dioxide. bohydrates, fat, and protein in a diagram printed on the product’s packing.9 The etymology of the word “caloric” goes back to the time of Lavoisier and the phlogiston theory when heat was considered to be an imponderable chemical element inherent in every body. The idea of heat as an element has been abandoned, but the word energy still reflects this very notion. It is an expression originating from the Greek language meaning “inherently affect- ing,”10 which was introduced by William Rankine in 1853. Rankine defined energy as “a power to change in opposition to resistance.” He, furthermore, distin- guished between “actual or sensible” energy (e.g., en- ergy of movement) and “potential or latent” energy Rankine, 1853, pp. 109–117). Mid–nineteenth-century science was intensely oc- cupied with the necessity of workers acquiring energy for their work in factories. After von Helmholtz’s publi- cation on the conservation of the “living force,” 11 it seemed obvious working men had to convert their food into mechanical work and that these two sides of an equation, yet entirely unknown, should, nonetheless, be equal. The energy could seemingly be provided by any kind of food because some types of food were appar- ently able to substitute for one another. This was most convenient if one looked upon nourishment as a fuel that had to be converted into work, as the transforma- tion process was now nothing more than the energy gain of a chemical reaction, independent of the nour- ishment in its physical form. In this way, the physiology could be understood by means of analytical chemistry. The German physiologist and hygienist, Max Rub- ner, worked in the domain of thermodynamics for sev- eral decades and eventually presented experimental re- sults by which he intended to prove the validity of the physical law of energy conservation for human or ani- mal subjects. He defined heat as a measure for the in- tensity of life processes. To support his idea, Rubner designed an experi- mental setup to control the products of the energy con- version processes in an animal’s body. The animal calo- rimeter shown in the picture above was an isolated chamber into which a single dog was placed. This chamber was equipped with measurement devices for pressure and temperature and also for the proportions of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the chamber. The 9 In 1860, Max Rubner declared that one calorie is the amount of energy needed to heat up one gram of water from 4 to 5 degrees centigrade (see Ziegler 1922, pp. 520 – 526). 10 Duden, Fremdwörter, Eintrag Energie 11 The term “living force” was then still used synonymously with today’s “energy.” Figure 3: Lavoisier experimenting to determine the compo sition of water. Photograph. Encyclopædia Britannica Onl - ine Historical Background: Nutrition 5 Storytelling Teaching Model: http://science-story-telling.eu chamber offered little space for movement so that the dog could not waste his energy in floundering. The idea was that all the energy given to the animal by the food supply had to be turned into heat since conversion into mechanical work would not be possible. Rubner con- cluded that the entire energy contained in the food was eventually converted into heat (diet-induced ther- mogenesis).12 After the amount of energy stored in the carbohy- drates, fat, and proteins had been determined, Rubner made efforts to distinguish between the ability of the human body to convert its energy into heat and me- chanical work. The idea was to identify the substance which was least converted into heat because that would mean that the rest of the energy could be converted into mechanical work. He identified proteins as the sub- stance where the heat-to-energy ratio was least favor- able in terms of producing work from food. If one was a follower of the general idea of the industrial age with the human body at the intersection of energy, cost, and workload, this was very convenient. The major source ve- 12 Elizabeth Neswald, private communication for proteins was meat, which was expensive compared to grain or potatoes, the latter being the major sources for carbohydrates (Rubner, 1902). Since workers should convert their food into work, it seemed obvious that meat was not necessary for a balanced diet. Conse- quently, meat, an expensive commodity, should be given as brain food only to persons who did intellectual work. If one takes into account that at times the human body does not need energy for converting it into me- chanical work, one would come to an alternate conclu- sion. The history of Liebig’s meat extract shows that meat is not the perfect brain food, as such. In the mid1800s, chemistry professor Justus von Liebig be- came well known among the community of chemists. Most of the experiments he conducted were in the area of the new organic chemistry, a branch which scientists thought could not be studied outside of living organ- isms.13 Investigators in organic chemistry were trying to determine the composition of almost any organic substance. Liebig invented an apparatus, called the fi bulb device, with which he could determine the amount of carbon in any organic substance. He was, however, best known for his work on the physiology of animals and also on agricultural chemis- try. Liebig’s key assumption was that, in principle, the process of fat generation during digestion could be demonstrated entirely by means of laboratory chemis- try. Although heavily debated during his lifetime, the assumption turned out to be correct; hence, Liebig was 13 Friedrich Wöhler changed this in experiments between 1824 and 1828 when he synthesized the organic substances oxanic acid and carbamide.

Von Liebig is positioned between the Meat Extract, a precursor to today’s instant soups, and the five-bulb device (formerly called Kali-Apparat, Potassium Apparatus), by which the amount of carbon within an un- known substance could be determined. 6 Historical Background: Nutrition Storytelling Teaching Model: http://science-story-telling.eu the first scientist who successfully linked chemistry, physiology, and medicine. His important contribution to the world of nutri- tion, Liebig’s meat extract, was a byproduct of his at- tempt to help a friend overcome a serious illness. In 1853, Emma Muspratt, daughter of an English friend of Liebig’s, suffered severely from typhoid fever during her stay in Munich, where Liebig had held a professor- ship since 1852. She was unable to eat, and her bowels were incapable of processing solid food. Liebig knew that there was no standard method to nourish someone suffering from typhoid fever and determined that the only way to nourish the patient would be by introduc- ing a meat extract into her body. The extract was made by grinding chicken meat which was then placed into an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid. After 12 hours, Liebig filtered the remains of the meat from the liquid that contained the protein almost intact. He then neutralized the acid and had Emma Muspratt drink it. She recovered within a short period of time (Judel 2003, pp. 6–15). Because the production of the extract was highly elaborate, the meat extract could not be turned into a commercial success. It was, however, produced and sold by the Munich pharmacist von Pettenkofer as a remedy for sick persons who were unable to eat. Physical and Physiological Calorific Value Knowing about the existence of oxygen was not suffi- cient for explaining the reasons for food components being combusted within the body, at least not until An- toine Lavoisier was able to design experiments in which he concluded that some form of combustion must take place within the human body. The development of heat in chemical processes was the key point of interest to the French scientists Simon Laplace and Antoine Lavoisier. They invented the ice- calorimeter, a sophisticated device to determine the quantity of heat developed by an animal, or which was found latent in solid bodies (Laplace & Lavoisier 1780, p. 355). The heat was used to melt down ice, and the amount of water originating from the process was, in turn, equivalent to the amount of heat originating from the chemical reaction. Together with his assistant, Armand Séguin, Lavois- ier also conducted experiments on how inhaled air is changed by combustion during physical work. He de- vised an experimental setup where a test person would inhale atmospheric air by means of a full-face mask during the measurements. This mask was especially de- vised to lead the exhaled air into a flask containing al- kali liquid. The carbon dioxide in the flask initiated a chemical reaction in which an indissoluble alkali car- bonate was generated. The exhaled air could be ob- served in the flask as bubbles, and the alkali carbon di- oxide precipitated during the process and accumulated on the flask’s bottom. The experiment was conducted in two different ways, first, with a person at rest and, second, with a per- son at work. Lavoisier already assumed that the pur- pose of the human respiration process was to produce heat rather than to supply oxygen for the body. Conse- quently, he compared the output of the exhaled gases to the inhaled gases, in addition to the person’s tempera- ture. The final conclusion from the experiments with Séguin was that animals combusted organic material by means of the inhaled oxygen. Calorimeters, in general, measure the heat devel- oped by chemical reactions. Laplace and Lavoisier had already documented that animals turn organic sub- stances into heat. The next step was to determine how much heat could be developed by any substance, the heat being measured in calorimeters by burning the substance in question to ashes. The heat that is devel- oped in addition to the heat supplied to the reaction is the physical calorific value. Figure 6: Ice-calorimeter in the design of Laplace and Lavois- ier (1780). Ice was filled into the partition wall to isolate the chamber from the laboratory environment and also into the main chamber (with the basket). The target containing or d veloping heat was placed in the basket and melted the ice. The amount of drained water was equivalent to the heat develope in the reaction. e- d Historical Background: Nutrition 7 Storytelling Teaching Model: http://science-story-telling.eu The calorimeter in the style of Hopkins (see Fig. 7) determines the amount of energy released through a chemical reaction by pouring the reacting liquids into a common reaction chamber. Two thermometers are used to monitor the alteration of temperature during the reaction. The physical calorific value is not entirely relevant as far as matters of the human metabolism are con- cerned. The calorific value of any nourishment varies for every species that consumes it; hence, the relevant value here is the physiological calorific value. It can be roughly determined by burning the excrement of the animal or human in question and comparing this value with the physical calorific value of the food consumed. The difference will then be the physiological calorific value. It has to be noted, though, that the physiological calorific value cannot be regarded to be an exact value. It varies not only from species to species but is, more or less, a personal value of the animal (or human) who is being tested. Nutrition for Prevention of Deficiency Diseases One of the oldest diseases known to seafarers is scurvy, today known to be caused by lack of Vitamin C. The oldest reports about sailors who suffered from this defi- ciency disease date back to the days of antiquity in Egypt. It was well known that men aboard trading ships became sick, but the reason was unknown. Due to the necessity of having to operate as a viable unit, ships had large amounts of zwieback and brined meat onboard because these could be stored over a longer period of time. These products, which would deliver a good basis for the energy needed every day, could be supple- mented with fish or cheese; however, with the latter be- ing prone to spoil within a short time, a substitute was needed when these had been consumed. A cure for scurvy was not found until the 18th cen- tury when a Scottish physician named James Lind (1736 – 1812) found a treatment to overcome this sick- ness (Lind 1753, pp. 192–196). He conducted an ex- periment on a dozen persons who were apparently af- fected by scurvy and showed most of the already well- known documented symptoms. He divided the patients into six pairs and gave them each a specific diet in order to test the effects of nutrition and also of hygiene. After 14 days, Lind was able to conclude that the only group who had overcome all of the scurvy symptoms was the one who had oranges and lemons on their specific menu. He left it to the experience of others to confirm the efficacy of these fruits, meaning he was well aware of having found a cure but not of determining the rea- son for the high effectiveness of the cure. The research on beriberi, a deficiency disease caused by lack of Vitamin B1, was even more successful. It began with different assumptions about the possible causes of the illness and was founded on wrong conclu- sions on why it can be cured. The principal scientist in- vestigating beriberi was the Dutch Christiaan Eijkman (1858 – 1930) who had the chance to explore the cause and cure of beriberi in what today is called a large-scale study. After advanced training in Germany, where Koch had recently identified bacteria as the cause of tuberculosis and cholera, Eijkman was convinced that beriberi was caused by generic germs, as well, and tried to prove it in a carefully controlled study (Allchin 1996). The state of Java, where Eijkman conducted his experiments, had, at that time, some 280,000 prisoners. Eijkman ordered a diet of rice for these prisoners: one of polished rice, one of unpolished rice, or a mixture of both. He then recorded the incidences of beriberi among the various groups of prisoners (Eijkman 1897, pp. 187 – 194). Other factors concerning hygiene which could have caused illnesses, such as ventilation or per- meability of floors to water, had been ruled out. Eijkman concluded that the prisoners who lived on the polished-rice diet were much more affected by beri- beri than the others. From an older study, he had de- Figure 7: Calorimeter, Nevil Monroe Hopkins, Experimental Electrochemistry (1905). This calorimeter was used to meas- ure the heat developed during the reaction of two liquids. The drain container D is also the reaction chamber into which the second liquid from storage container G is con- veyed. Two thermometers, I and J, are introduced into the reaction chamber and the insulating wall to control the heat developed by the chemical reaction. 8 Historical Background: Nutrition Storytelling Teaching Model: http://science-story-telling.eu termined that the white rice contained the germ that caused beriberi and that the red coating, which was re- moved by polishing the rice, provided an antitoxin. This point is crucial to understanding why successful experiments can still lead to wrong conclusions. Since then, it has been shown that beriberi is a deficiency dis- ease resulting from a permanent lack of an essential nu- trient and not one caused by an active, infection- causing germ. Casimir Funk was probably the first researcher who was able to coalesce all of the effects of deficiency dis- eases into a constructive theory (Funk 1912, pp. 341– 368). He accounted for scurvy, beriberi, and many other diseases as those which break out if “an unvaryin diet is partaken of for long periods” because of the “de- ficiency in a substance which is necessary for the me- tabolism” (Funk 1912, p. 341). Funk stated that all but one of the diseases covered in his 1912 paper could be cured simply by adding a new class of organic sub- stances, which he called vitamins (short form for vital amin, referring to the chemical structure of the new substance), to one’s diet. He distinguished the vitamins already discovered by contemporary researchers by stating which disease each cures; for example, today’s vitamin C would have been the “scurvy vitamin” and vitamin B1 the “beriberi vitamin.” Funk also illustrated the method and the amount of the beriberi vitamin that could be precipitated from an aqueous solution, as well as the chemical formula for the vitamin. g He also gave an illustration of its curative effects by administering a dose of the beriberi vitamin to birds suffering from beriberi. A minute dose of 40 milligrams was sufficient to cure a pigeon in a very short time, and it also prevented the reappearance of beriberi for a time span of seven to twelve days even when the pigeon was placed on a polished-rice diet again. Two things seemed to be obvious from this experiment: first, the vitamin as a curative agent seemed to have activated the curative process, and second, the body is able to store and utilize the vitamin efficiently.

Liner HMS "Salisbury" under full sail riped waters of the Gulf of Biscay. Captain George Edgcumbe stood on the bridge and smiled at the memory of the battle less than a week before. Fleet Sir George Anson, the French broke convoy numbering 30 ships, escorted by a squad- ron of Admiral the Marquis de La Jonquiere. "Salisbury" had a large share in the victory, its fifty guns rumbled in the Battle of Cape Finisterre. The quiet creak behind his back escaped him from this bliss. The captain turned and looked questioningly at Stewart, who just wanted to knock on the open door frame. - Sir, the doctor wants to see you. - I'm not sick, I did not call the doctor - joked cap- tain - Sir, the matter is probably serious... - Ask him! After a while, about thirty years old, slim, fair-haired man came to the bridge. - Naval surgeon James Lind, Sir! – in accordance with the rules reported to and fell silent. The cap- tain frowned and asked with concern: - Does God forbid something happened to our wounded, dear James? - No, Sir, all the wounded recovering. Welfare re- quires only three, the rest does not have to lie. - So, what's the point? - Scurvy, Sir. Suffer from it a few dozen of sailors, soon not only will not be able to guide the cannons, but who will work on the sails?... We are in the sea since 2 April, it is almost seven weeks. Captain sadly looked down and sighed quietly. - That is what I feared. You know, dear James, that scurvy killed more British sailors than the Spaniards and the French over the past 200 years? You're a doctor, so you know ... They must somehow survive another two weeks, we will finish patrol and return to Ports- mouth. We will probably not shoot from the can- nons for the time being, the French should not oc- cur, unless they had enough - he smiled at the memory of winning the battle... - Captain, I have a request. It is well known that scurvy does not attack at the land. I think that scurvy is the result of putrefaction of the body, which can be aided by acids. On land that does not work. If I knew which alleviates the symptoms of scurvy, maybe I could help these poor... - Sit down, please. You know that nothing will help them out to go ashore, said the captain - what you want to do? - I have an idea. I have twelve patients with severe conditions, all have rotting gums, patches, they are tired, barely walk. I will put them in a cabin and give everyone the same diet: for breakfast - gruel sweetened with sugar and soggy biscuits, for lunch- mutton broth, and a light dessert, such as boiled biscuit with sugar, and for dinner - groats, sago, or rice with raisins and wine. Then divide them into six groups. - That is after two? - Said the captain, giving to understand that and listens and understands. - Yes, Sir! - Lind confirmed. He took out from his pocket a sheet of written paper and with enthusi- asm continued. – Due to which I have already mentioned, I will enrich their diet with acids. Two gets extra quart of cider1 per day. Two more will have to take three times a day for twenty five drops of vitriol2. The next two will get two tablespoons of vinegar three times a day. Two patients in the most serious in the worst condition will get a half a mug of sea water. Two sailors will get an additional two 2 Story: James Lind and the story on scurvy Storytelling Teaching Model: wiki.science-stories.org oranges and one lemon per day and the last two with each meal gets a spoonful of acute paste of gar- lic and mustard and a few tablespoons of Barley’s3 water. - I see that you have prepared for this conversation. When do you want to start, young man? - Quietly asked the captain. -So, you agree, Sir? - James Lind with disbelief look on Captain Edgcumbe. He jumped to his feet and shouted enthusiastically – Even just! -Slowly, Sir James. Remember that a ship is also the crew, without her the boat and her fifty guns are just a pile of scrap metal, wood, ropes and canvas not worth a pound of straw. Your principle of "pri- mum non nocere" here will be checked for sure; suffering from scurvy probably can not hurt, and as you can help - why not try it? - The captain smiled and added - Fly to that unfortunates, and may you succeeded! Six days later, Captain James George Edgcumbe called Lind to his cabin. - How is the situation developing on the frontline fighting with scurvy? Are you as effective as our fleet, dear James?- With a smile, asked the captain. - Unfortunately, no, Sir, said Lind - but some suc- cess can be seen. In two sailors who drank cider there was a slight improvement, but they are still weak and lie. In the other there is no improvement, but ... - here paused slightly and looked at the spark in his eye - In eating citrus was a miracle! - It is probably a miracle that they live. The miracle would be if they could return to the sails. - Said the captain, doubtfully - Well? - One of them returned to service today, the second is ready to the light work on board! - Triumphantly said Lind - it seems to me that the oranges and lemons can help fight this nightmare of merchant navy. - So give citrus fruits to all patients, James. I finally will have a three hundred and fifty men to the end of the cruise, not a hundred so far. - But, Sir, there is no longer one orange or lemon on the board, -Lind said sadly - Well that it was enough though for a week for these two... - Dear James! - Captain stood up and surrounded him with his arm – We will finish patrol and if the wind is favorable we will reach Portsmouth in a few days. The sailors will rest a few days, we will repair the sails and replace the deck. And in the next cruise we will take more oranges and lemons….! Something to drink? Lind smiled and said - If there is no orange juice, it remains for us only cider! Cheers!!! 1 (from Wikipedia), cider, or apple pie (French cidre, Ang cider) - an alcoholic drink, fermented juice of ripe apples (without sugar), the appearance – from turbid to the clear, about 2-7% content of alcohol. Cider is characterized by a fresh aroma and slightly sour-sweet, refreshing taste of apples, good thirst quencher. Produced by the fermentation of apple grape in a manner similar to the production technique of top-fermented beer. It is especially popular in Great Britain, northern France, Belgium, Ireland and Lithuania. 2vitriol (glass oil,) concentrated solution of sulfuric acid. Clear liquid with a yellowish color (glassy look) and an oily consistency. Historically, this name also meant hydrated divalent metal sulfates, e.g. dihydrate iron sulfate, (II) FeSO4 • 7H2O - (Roman Vitriol, Vitriol viride, Vitriol Goslariense) or pen- tahydrate copper sulfate (II) CuSO4 • 5H2O - (Vitriol co- eruleum) 3 Barley water - is a traditional British drink of boiled barley or coarse barley with fruit juice (lemon or orange) and honey. Ingredients: 3/4 cup of barley or pearl barley Finely grated zest and juice of 2 lemons 1/2 cup of honey 6 cups of water Preparation: Place barley in a sieve and rinse in cold water until water runs clear. Place barley in a saucepan with the grated lemon zest and pour six glasses of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, then strain the mixture into heatproof dish. Discard the barley. Add honey to a bowl and mix. Pour the lemon juice and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Pour into bottles and store Additional historical facts The story Described here really happened. James Lind con- ducted the first controlled clinical test (medical research), and published his findings in 1753 (A Treatise of the Scurvy - The Treaty of scurvy). Unfortunately, this work was by the medi- cal community ignored. James Lind was not the discoverer of the beneficial effect of citrus, as already in 1601 the British East India Company, and specifically Cpt. James Lancaster has provided its sailors with oranges and lemons, so the crew avoided scurvy. In the seventeenth century the Dutch found- ed citrus orchards along the oceanic route around Africa and conducted horticultural experiments on board of ships.

The course, which was first offered in 2003, begins in April each year at the start of the summer semester. It consists of two semesters with lectures and seminars of around 20 hours per week and a third semester dedicated principally to researching and writing a masterʼs thesis. MIDE begins with courses that provide a solid foundation in modern theories of development economics, macroeconomics and international trade and finance. It then offers a wide range of optional courses focusing on policy and management issues in key economic sectors, including environmental and resource econom- ics, financial institutions and regional integration. Throughout the programme, MIDE strives to achieve a balance between theoretical debates and practical application. Graduates of the programme will be well equipped to work for governmental or non-governmental institutions involved in devel- opment cooperation as well as for international companies that operate in developing countries. In developing countries, graduates will be ideally suited for positions in government departments, banks, consulting organisations, multinational companies, cham- bers of commerce or educational institutions such as universities. Students are expected to have already acquired basic academic knowledge and skills in economics in their undergraduate courses. The programme is accredited.

Approximately one fourth of the population of 120,000 are students, enjoying the international flair and the cultural diversity of the youthful city, rich in tradition, and located in the middle of Germany. The MSc Development Economics offers the great advantage of drawing from long-standing research and teaching experience of two faculties, both deeply committed to development issues: In the Faculty of Business and Economics, 6 professors focus on development economics. In the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development another 5 professors work on development issues, and together they constitute by far the largest and internationally most visible concentration of development researchers in Germany. These groups not only work at the forefront of cutting-edge development research, but they also are part of international research and policy networks and regularly advise governments, aid agencies, and international organizations such as the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme on key development issues. Some of the subjects our faculty are conducting research and offering classes in include development aid, gender and development, global health, food security, rural sociology, poverty, inequality, behavioural development economics, trade, demography, resources and environment – and many more. So you will have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge on a plethora of topics pertinent to issues of globalization and development. COURSE FOCUS____ Development Economics, Quantitative Economics, Agricultural Economics Understanding economic development is one of the key chal- lenges of our lifetime. We live in a world of tremendous inequality in the distribution of income and wealth; People live in extreme poverty, poor health and insufficient educational opportunities are a daily reality for the many. Yet recent decades have also shown that economic development and poverty reduction are possible. EC O NO M IC S CI EN CE S/ B US IN ES S AD M IN IS TR AT IO N/ P O LI TI CA L EC O NO M IC S 2424 Economic Sciences/ Business Administration/ Political Economics MSc Development Economics COURSE FOCUS____ The challenge for development economics is to understand the driv- ers of successful economic development in some parts of the world as well as to analyse the conditions responsible for stagnation and regress in others. This includes macroeconomic issues such as trade, capital flows, migration and aid, as well as microeconomic issues such as poorly functioning labour, land, technologies, inputs, or credit and insurance markets; cross-cutting issues such as gender inequality, health, environment, or conflict are also critical to understand. Among the key features of the study programme are: • Compulsory courses in macro and micro development issues, econometrics, and rural development, • Specialization in quantitative or agricultural economics and profile courses to choose from a wide array of development relevant subjects, • Opportunities for hands-on experience within our many research projects. TARGET GROUP____ Applicants with a sound knowledge of economics (especially economic theory and quantitative methods), an excellent command of English, and a keen interest in issues of development economics. COURSE LANGUAGE____ English ENTRY REQUIREMENTS____ • Bachelorʼs degree (or comparable) in economics or a closely related field with at least one third of overall subjects of the program taken in strictly economic courses (business administration courses do not satisfy this requirement!). • An equivalent of at least 12 ECTS (or 7% of overall course units, typically at least 2-3 courses) in mathematics or statistics. • Verification of English language proficiency at the level of TOEFL ibT 95 points or IELTS 7. Other equivalent certificates as listed on our website are accepted. Students who have completed their undergrad- uate degree exclusively in English are exempt from this requirement (upon verification). • Demonstrated interest and experience in development economics issues. • Please check our website for further details. 25 Economic Sciences/ Business Administration/ Political Economics MSc Development Economics DEGREE AWARDED____ MSc Development Economics This degree will open up excellent career perspectives in a wide array of fields: • Governments and aid agencies working on development issues; • International organizations such as the World Bank, organizations of the UN system (e.g. ILO, FAO, UNIDO, UNDP, UNICEF, UNESCO, etc.), the OECD, EU, or regional development banks; • Policy research institutions as well as national and international development policy think tanks; • International business in multinational companies; • Excellent Ph.D. opportunities in Göttingen or other national and international programmes.

Located on the Elbe River, Dresden is close to Germanyʼs borders with the Czech Republic and Poland. The city is famous for its reconstructed old town and home to numerous historic buildings, but also modern shopping, entertainment, and recreational opportunities that include green floodplains of the Elbe River and surrounding hills, many of which are covered by vineyards. Nearby attractions include the national park of “Saxon Switzerland”, but also the lignite mining region of Lusatia, where coal phaseout created the unique opportunity to convert former open pit mines into Germanyʼs largest lake district. The regionʼs multiple experiences with environmental, social, political, and economic transformations, and a large cluster of aca- demic teaching and research institutions (“DRESDEN-concept”) make it an ideal place to study, research, and experience sustain- ability transformations not only in theory but also in real life. COURSE FOCUS____ The doctoral programme Resource Nexus for Sustainability Trans- formations (NEXtra) is typically a 42-month full time postgraduate research-based training programme that is jointly offered by three partner institutions in Dresden. The programme focuses on sustainability transformations that are based on an integrative Resource Nexus perspective. It aims at advancing the understanding and management of environmental resources (including primary resources such as water, soil, atmo- sphere, raw materials, land, biodiversity, and secondary resources such as food, energy, or waste), including interlinkages between them. NEXtra addresses the accessibility, protection, distribution and exploitation of environmental resources, and the potential syn- ergies and trade-offs arising from their utilization and management. In the context of NEXtra, “sustainability” relates to resolving conflicts and trade-offs between environmental, social, and economic objec- tives taking into consideration the planetary boundaries as well as intra- and intergenerational justice. Above all, the program aims to contribute to the UNʼs Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 44 Development Cooperation PHD Programme “Resource Nexus for Sustainability Transformations” (NEXtra) COURSE FOCUS____ The programme is explicitly inter- and transdisciplinary; students from the target groups below should therefore have an interest to think beyond disciplinary boundaries and adopt a Resource Nexus perspective. NEXtra supports participants in advancing their careers by qualifying them to become experts who combine a strong disciplinary knowl- edge with multi- and transdisciplinary sustainability assessment and management approaches. Candidates will be advised not only by their supervisors, but career counselling will also be incorporated into at least one of the NEXtra workshops each year. Participants also have access to the career service offers of the programme partners and have the unique opportunity to be connected to the United Nations system. TARGET GROUP____ Young scientists from developing and emerging countries (see DAC- List of ODA Recipients by OECD) who have acquired at least two years of professional experience, e.g., in government, industry, administra- tion, consultancies, international agencies, and academia. Candidates should be driven by the passion to advance sustainable development in their home countries and beyond by combining disciplinary expertise with a Resource Nexus perspective that aims at the integrated assessment and management of environmental resources. While environmental sustainability is at the heart of the programme, it is open to university graduates from the following discipline groups: • Natural sciences (including but not limited to environmental bio- and geo-sciences) • Humanities and social sciences (including but not limited to political sciences, economics, law) • Engineering sciences • Medicine and health-related sciences • Education sciences COURSE LANGUAGE____ English ENTRY REQUIREMENTS____ Masterʼs degree or equivalent with a grade of good or better DEGREE AWARDED____ Doctoral degree (the type of doctoral degree depends on the faculty in which the student is enrolled) COURSE BEGINS____ 1st of April COURSE DURATION____ 42 months 45 DURATION OF GERMAN LANGUAGE COURSE PRIOR TO BEGINNING OF PROGRAMME____ 2 months APPLICATION DEADLINE____ Online application, 31st March (for intakes on 1st April of the following year) FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT____ NEXtra Programme Coordinator United Nations University – Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources Ammonstr. 74 01067 Dresden Germany Phone: +49 (0) 351 8921 9374 Email: nextra@unu.edu Website: flores.unu.edu/en/research/projects/ resource-nexus-for-sustainability- transformations-nextra.html#outline Development Cooperation PHD Programme “Resource Nexus for Sustainability Transformations” (NEXtra) http://flores.unu.edu/en/research/projects/resource-nexus-for-sustainability-transformations-nextra.html#outline http://flores.unu.edu/en/research/projects/resource-nexus-for-sustainability-transformations-nextra.html#outline http://flores.unu.edu/en/research/projects/resource-nexus-for-sustainability-transformations-nextra.html#outline 46 Technische Universität Dresden LOCATION____ Technische Universität Dresden is one of only eleven German universities distinguished as a “University of Excellence” since 2012.

The TU Dresden has about 37,000 students and almost 4,200 permanent employees (excluding the Faculty of Medicine), including 419 professors, making it one of the largest universities in Germany today. Having been committed to sciences and engineering before the reunification of Germany, TU Dresden is now a multidisciplinary university, offering humanities and social sciences as well as medicine. There are very few universities in Germany that can match this broad scientific spectrum. The TU Dresden is one of only eleven German universities distinguished as an “Excellence University”. The local citizens (more than 500,000 inhabitants) and visitors from all over the world have always considered Dresden a unique city. This is especially reflected in Dresdenʼs townscape, which boasts world-renowned architecture and extensive villa-style residential districts. An endless variety of events in the arts and culture as well as a charming location in the Elbe valley are factors contributing to the excellent quality of life in Dresden. The city itself owes its standing not only to its unrivalled cultural institutions, but also to its modern industrial facilities. Moreover, the numerous fundamental and applied research institutes that work together closely with the university justify Dresdenʼs reputation as the City of Sciences. COURSE FOCUS____ The Masterʼs course presents the possibility of an interdisciplin- ary education; focusing mainly on the worldʼs leading textile machinery manufacturers in Germany and the processing of textile high performance materials for technical applications. The objective is a graduate who understands the field of exper- tise in its complexity, is acquainted with highly innovative fields of research, and can apply his/her acquired specialised knowl- edge in a future professional occupation in research, industry, teaching or international cooperation. The graduate is qualified for technical executive functions in the textile and clothing industry, especially in companies developing technical textiles and textile products (machinery and automobile construction, membrane development, architecture, medical products, etc.), 50 Engineering and Related Sciences Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology COURSE FOCUS____ as well as in research institutions and educational services. However, graduates also work in classical textile and clothing industries. The course forms an important basis for the fields of technical applica- tions. The main focus of the subject-specific modules is on innovative textile machine developments and resource-efficient technologies for the manufacture of new technical, textile-based products. These include the study areas of nonwovens for medical and hygienic applications, textile recycling, filter materials, geotextiles, lightweight construction, personal and property protection, and smart textiles. The programme offers students a professional university degree in Mechanical Engineering, Textile Engineering, Textile Technology, Development of Textil-based Products, Ready-Making Technology for Textile Products, Textile Chemistry or Textile Finishing, Textile Recycling Technologies and the opportunity for an interdisciplinary university education resulting in a Masterʼs degree, which with an excellent result qualifies them to enter a PhD programme. The curriculum also allows an individual in-depth study and setting of priorities within the framework of the module “Research Internship” and the elective modules. The elective area includes specific content on complex textile con- structions, design of technical textiles, machines and technologies for the production and finishing of technical textiles, functionaliza- tion and boundary layer design of textile surfaces, textile finishing, fiber-based implants and biomaterials, tissue engineering, 2D/ 3D CAE technologies for the development of textile constructions and textile products, machines and technologies for the production of nonwovens and for textile recycling, design, construction and adjust- ment of textile and finishing machines, and textile management. The course of studies is research-oriented with extremely high practical relevance. The content of teaching emphasises ongoing research projects, especially in the Masterʼs thesis. The modules Mathematics, Computer Applications in Mechanical Engineering, Technical Mechanics, Machine Elements/Design, and Mechanisms and Ergonomics/Management impart the mathematical, scientific, business as well as engineering-relevant basics for textile and clothing technology. For the Masterʼs thesis, the student works independently with scientific methods on demanding, industry relevant tasks from current research of the subjects and/or their applications. The results are presented and discussed in a colloquium. With the successful completion of the programme, the graduate acquires an academic degree and is thereby qualified for PhD study worldwide. 51 Engineering and Related Sciences Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology COURSE FOCUS____ The course is divided into modules and requires four semesters of study. It consists of 12 compulsory modules. The modules are offered during the first three semesters and the first six weeks of the fourth semester. The remainder of the fourth semester is scheduled for the Masterʼs thesis (four months) as well as the colloquium. The curriculum and the objectives of the course, forms of lecturing and studying, requirements, suitability, frequency, required work as well as duration of each module can be found in the module description. The appropriate distribution of the modules over the individual semesters can be taken from the study plan. Following this plan guarantees course completion within the time limit of two years. Credits document the average extent of studentsʼ work as well as the individual progress of their studies. One credit equals 30 hours of work. Usually there are 60 credits assigned to each year of studies, i.e., 30 per semester. Including the Masterʼs thesis and the colloquium, 120 credits can be acquired in total. The modules add up to 100 credits. The Masterʼs thesis is worth 19 credits, and 1 credit is awarded for the colloquium. In principle, credits for the modules are only awarded if the module examination is passed. The module descriptions explain in detail how many credits can be earned for one module and under which conditions this is possible. The programme is characterised by very good relations between teaching staff and students. The excellent infrastructure with modern machinery and installations as well as testing facility of the entire process chain is almost unique in Germany and world- wide in this field. Financial sponsoring for attending national and international conferences and exhibitions is offered to the students.

Being Germanyʼs northernmost city, Denmark is right across the border. Flens- burg is an open-minded and tolerant city, with a rich cultural diversity. Everything is in walking distance, easily accessible and straightforward. The origins of the university date back to 1946. Today Euro- pa-Universität Flensburg is a small, young university with approximately 6,000 students. It is innovative and international, offering programmes in different fields of education science and management. The compact campus and the size of the university allow students direct and easy personal contact to both lecturers and administrative staff. The campus, which the university has shared with the Flensburg University of Applied Sciences since 2002, offers all the facilities expected of a modern university, including student accommodation. The Sustainable Energy and Development Master (SEDev) is managed by the Department of Energy and Development. Part of the Interdisciplinary Institute for Environmental, Social and Human Studies, is has interdisciplinarity and out-of-the-box thinking in its genes. The SEDev Master follows a long tradition of development-oriented energy studies that date back into the 1980s. Run in cooperation between the University and the Flensburg University of Applied Sciences, the Sustainable Energy Master with its three specialisations “Transition”, “Development” and “Engineering” makes use of the rich research environment and expertise at the heart of the energy transition, which has been pioneered in this region. With its association to the new Centre for Research in Sustainability and Transformation, CREST, SEDev has a strong and broad scientific basis to a wealth of active researchers. EN GI NE ER IN G AN D RE LA TE D SC IE NC ES 55 Engineering and Related Sciences Master of Engineering in “Sustainable Energy and Development” (SEDev) (formerly EEM) COURSE FOCUS____ Meeting the challenges of climate change and energy poverty by energy transformation is in the focus of the Sustainable Energy and Development Master programme. At SEDev, we address universal access to affordable, reliable and renewable energy systems primarily in countries of the Global South. Our mission is to help enabling sustainable social and economic development through higher education. Sustainable energy systems for social and economic development are therefore the focus of the 24-month Master programme. The course of studies leads to the degree of a Master of Engineering while students learn modern engineering, innovative manage- ment and important social skills. Graduates of the SEDev contribute to sustainable social and economic development by initiating, planning and managing the transformation of energy systems in societies. They provide equitable solutions for modern energy services, and empower communities to engage in decision-making and change processes. Their professional skills help supporting and guiding companies, governments and NGOs worldwide. Problem-based learning techniques are applied to meet the challenges of increasing complexity and the constantly advancing technologies. This results in highly efficient learning directed toward real world application of the learning outcomes. A preparation semester in autumn will supplement the studentsʼ qualification within economics, research methods, and academic writing. A German language course is offered accompanying the course, compulsory for DAAD scholarship holders. The programme successively combines two important areas of sustainable energy: the integration of renewable energy sources in complex systems; and the implementation of sustainable energy systems with stakeholders in communities, regions, and countries. Energy systems modelling and energy planning embrace engineering aspects of the transition towards sustain- able energy systems; while economics, project management, financial and market analysis explore the economic facets of making this transition happen. 56 COURSE FOCUS____ Core modules in each of the two main semesters combine mandatory lectures and seminars with programme-specific teaching, a good selection of elective courses, and a project unit. The first semester in spring features a core module “Analysis and Complexity of Energy Systems”, where programming and systems modelling are combined with renewable energy technologies, typically in regional areas or in mini-grids. This is combined with a module on applied geo-in- formatics for energy planning. Another module prepares students for managing diversity in international development cooperation, and for the cooperation with international organisations. The second semester has a core module “Sustainable and Just Energy System Solutions”, that combines several areas of social science and economics with project work in the field of energy justice and climate action while emphasising the implementation of sustainable energy projects. Further modules provide knowledge, methods and skills for energy market analysis and project management. An international community energy project with partner organisations abroad is the focus of a five-week, project-oriented field research under real world conditions. During this excursion, students apply and hone their skills acquired during the first three semesters, and expose them to a real-life problem. In cooperation with rural communities, students deepen their methodological competencies in consultancy work and in planning sustainable energy systems. The last five months of the programme are assigned to the Master thesis, typically in combination with an internship in a company, an international organisation, or a research institution. The Master thesis is closely oriented towards the requirements of the labour market, and may provide an excellent basis for future careers of SEDev-graduates.

Its cultur- ally important history and active intellectual climate contribute very much to the attraction of the city. To this day, the term “Bauhaus” stands for experimentation, openness and creativity. Bauhaus-University Weimar offers a unique study profile, combining structural engineering with architecture, the arts, and modern media topics. Programmes offered follow bachelor, master, and doctoral tracks. COURSE FOCUS____ The Masterʼs degree programme Natural Hazards and Risks in Structural Engineering is an intensive, supervised, research-ori- ented and application-based advanced course of study. It builds on the expertise and methodical skills in several fundamental areas of engineering gained in a first-level degree programme or through practical professional experience. By providing students with advanced, scientifically-based, interdisciplinary knowledge, skills and methods, they are able to take on demanding engineering tasks in the areas of planning, construction and the realisation of structures under specific impact conditions. They are also able to carry out site or structure-specific risk analyses using modern tools for gauging the threat of natural hazards. In addition to strengthening their theoretical and scientific competence, candidates are able to develop skills in modelling, numerical simulation and application of performance-based design and detection methods, fieldwork and laboratory investigation. In order to structure and reflect the complexity of the chain reactions inherent to natural hazards, this programme explores in detail various engineering disciplines and engineering-related areas of the natural sciences, social sciences and economics. It examines the central role that civil & structural engineering plays in mitigating the impact of natural disasters and focuses on the engineering methods that we can use to assess and possibly reduce the vulnerability of buildings and structures. Using international projects as models, the programme highlights the demands on engineering technology at both the regional and global level. The elective compulsory modules expand on lines of development that systematically prepare graduates for future careers or higher research positions.

COURSE FOCUS____ The M.Sc. course Tropical and International Forestry* provides advanced study in management and conservation of tropical and subtropical forests. It especially focuses on the ecologically and economically sound management of forest resources and tree- based land use systems. The targeted ecosystems and manage- ment systems include natural forests under full protection, close to nature forestry, plantation forestry, agroforestry systems and trees outside the forest. The programme is for students interested in pursuing an interna- tional career in forestry, nature conservation, ecosystem research or rural development. The M.Sc. course is a two-year programme with a modular structure. The first two semesters consist of lectures and course work. The modules address topics such as Tropical Silviculture and Forest Ecology, Tropical Soil Science, Forest Resources Assessment, Bioclimatology, International Forest Policy and Economy, and Project Planning and Evaluation. Elective modules can be chosen either from the Faculty of Forest Sciences or from other faculties and Masterʼs courses, such as Agribusiness or Biodiversity and Ecology. This helps students to specialise and develop an individual profile. In the third semester a studentsʼ project is conducted, which includes field studies abroad and uses an interdisciplinary approach. The fourth semester consists of the preparation of the Masterʼs thesis, which is based on studentsʼ own supervised research. * The M.Sc. study track Tropical and International Forestry (TIF) is part of the M.Sc. study programme Forest and Ecosystem Sciences (FES).

TropHEE 96 ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE – MEG Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg LOCATION____ Freiburg “Green City” Freiburg earned this name and reputation due to its high environ- mental standards, innovative research and development, and its general attitude toward the environment. With extensive use of solar energy and other renewable sources, the city attracts researchers and environmental organizations from around the world. But Freiburg is green not only because of its policies and politics. No other city of comparable size (230,000 inhabitants) has such a diversity of landscapes, ranging from the mountains of the Black Forest to Mediterranean-type vegetation in the Rhine Valley. One of Germany´s most beautiful cities, Freiburg is a traditional, yet also youthful and dynamic University town. Its location near the French and Swiss border makes it a great base for exploring Europe. COURSE FOCUS____ Sustainable development and accordingly sustainability in the manifold relationships between humans and the environment have become integral rules of conduct in politics and society. This is also true in economics, where for many companies a commit- ment to the principles of sustainability has become a central strategic competitive advantage. One of the major challenges to the implementation of the overall concept of sustainable development concerns effective governance processes between various stakeholders The M.Sc. Programme ʼEnvironmental Governanceʼ (MEG) addresses this special need. Since its establishment in 2005, it has been training academics in the broader field of Environmental Governance, understood as new modes of social co-ordination among market, state, and civil society actors. With that, the MEG aims to fill the gap between technically oriented environmental management programs and purely disciplinary environmental politics programs. MEG is exceptional in its highly interdisciplinary approach: at its core it is social-scientific, but it provides students with basic ʼscientific literacyʼ in the more technical aspects of pressing environmental challenges. The MEG program is designed as a two-year (4 semesters), full- time program (120 ECTS). Teaching is partly organized in three- week block modules, partly in a semester structure, comprising core and elective modules aiming at: Realizing – The development of a sound knowledge base of the most pressing environmental issues facing the planet and their underlying societal causes; NA TU RA L AN D EN VI RO NM EN TA L SC IE NC ES 97 COURSE FOCUS____ Understanding – The reflection on human-environment interac- tions from a wide spectrum of disciplines and approaches. Managing – The provision of methodological knowledge and skills for the context-sensitive design and management of environmen- tal governance processes. The programme does not limit itself to a special regional context but focuses on environmental governance processes in a representative, worldwide perspective from the local to interna- tional level. Lecturers present and discuss case studies from a German and European context, but also include studies from other regional contexts. TARGET GROUP____ The programme targets students from various disciplines who aspire to become leaders in the complex field of sustainable development i.e. ʼSustainability Designersʼ with innovative ideas about environmental governance arrangements that go beyond the traditional functional, structural, and territorial boundaries; and ʼSustainability Managersʼ who embrace and understand these ideas, and are capable of finding ways to implement them in a context-sensitive manner. Practitioners and students with a background in engineering or the natural sciences are welcome. However, they have to show high motivation and willingness to concentrate mainly on social science theories and concepts during their two years of study. COURSE LANGUAGE____ English ENTRY REQUIREMENTS____ • B.Sc. degree or equivalent awarded with a grade well above aver- age in political sciences, sociology, law, economics, ethnology, international cooperation, development studies, nature conser- vation, environmental management, land use planning, natural resource management, agricultural or forest science, geography or other related fields • English language certificate: TOEFL (100 iBT) or IELTS (Band 7.0).

Established in 1457, the University of Freiburg is one of Germanyʼs oldest univer- sities. Today, it is amongst the nationʼs leading research and teaching institutions. The University of Freiburg hosts over 26,000 students from over 100 different countries. Situated in the heart of Europe, with close proximity to Switzerland and France, Freiburg has a lively international flair. The city is renowned for its approach to healthy urban living and is home to ʼVaubanʼ – the greenest suburb in Europe, which serves as a best-prac- tice model for our program. With approximately 230,000 inhabitants, Freiburg has a friendly size, offering the safe surroundings of a smaller city and, at the same time, excelling in terms of culture, shopping, and infrastructure. Freiburg is surrounded by the Black Forest and wine-growing regions of the Rhine Valley and receives the most hours of sunshine per year in Germany, which makes it a very attractive city for tourism and leisure activities. COURSE FOCUS____ Overview: This is an internationally oriented interdisciplinary program, offering students a broad and comprehensive training in the field of urban health. The MSc GUH imparts scientific foundations that are relevant for the analysis of urban health including social determinants of health and risk factors, for the investigation of (cost-) effectiveness of possible solutions and the prevention of health risks in large cities, particularly in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICʼs). To achieve this objective, the program focuses both on practical interventions and on operational/implementation research. The unique aspect of this program is its emphasis on urban health and the demographic, physical, social, cultural, psychological and political determinants thereof. The inclusion of “Sustainable Cities and Communities” as one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the increasing number of job vacancies, and the formation of special departments focusing on urban health issues in institutions like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Society for Inter- national Cooperation (GiZ) underline the importance of the “urban” specialization offered by our program. Didactical Concept: The program includes different teaching approaches such as role-play, group-work, topic-oriented discussions, presentations of homework and material prepared by students for semi- nars, workshops and conferences. These activities intend to deepen the reflection of the material as well as strengthen communication skills, teamwork, interdisciplinary and intercultural competence – soft skills that are highly critical for future professional settings. M ED IC IN E/ PU BL IC H EA LT H 122 COURSE FOCUS____ There are also several excursions where students get a first-hand experience in the field, including a trip to Geneva in Switzerland, during which they visit the headquarters of international health organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations (UN). Here, students have the opportunity to interact with staff members of these leading global health insti- tutions and learn about the nature of their jobs and employment opportunities. In addition, there are other excursions and field visits, e.g. to Universityʼs Ecological Research Area to investigate bio-diversity, to the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute in Basel, the water treatment plant in Forchheim, a mental health centre, a refugee centre and to one of the healthiest municipalities in Europe, the district of Vauban.

The city of Frankfurt with the nearest interna- tional airport is 90 km away. Besides the marvellous scenery and many historic attractions, Heidelberg is renowned as an important centre for teaching and research in Germany. The University of Heidelberg is the oldest university in Germany, founded in 1386. Today, roughly 30,000 students are enrolled with a high proportion of international students (ca. 18 per cent). COURSE FOCUS____ International/Global Health It focuses on poverty-related health problems in low- and middle-income countries. It includes the promotion of health, prevention of disease and related interventions. Studies of health systems, health economics and financing, health policy, and management of health services are central. A cursory view of diverse aspects of health in many low- and middle-income countries shows a need for improved health policy, more efficient organisation and management at all levels of health systems, and sustainable financing. In order to make health services accessible to the people who need them most, reforms are urgently needed both at the policy-making level and on the delivery side. The MScIH was developed with these factors in mind. Teaching Approach Participatory teaching and learning methods are the underlying didactic concepts of the course. Participants are expected to take an active part throughout the course, e.g., small group work, individual study time and assignments, presentations based on their own working experience, case studies and group discussion. Structure The course has three distinct parts, each accounting for 20 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System). In this system, credit points are given on the basis of Student Investment Time, i.e., how much time a student “invests” in a given topic (including lecture time, group work and individual learning time). The three parts of the MScIH are: 1. A three-month core module, providing a basic overview on essential topics in International Health. 2. Advanced modules (short courses), offering more in-depth learning on selected topics. 3. A thesis module, allowing for guided individual research work with a personally flexible choice, including final exams. M ED IC IN E/ PU BL IC H EA LT H 125 Medicine/Public Health Master of Science in International Health (Heidelberg) COURSE FOCUS____ The course covers the diverse aspects of International Health and may be taken either as part-time study within the tropEd network or as a full-time one-year programme in Heidelberg (for details please see: www.troped.org). DAAD scholarships are available for the full-time programme. Scholarships are also available through KAAD and the course is eli- gible for the awards of the CSLA programme of the Open Society. Quality Assurance The programme is accredited at the national level. All taught parts (Core Course, Advanced Modules) are additionally accredited in the tropEd network. An international standard is further ensured by faculty members of other Institutes of Public/Global Health acting as facilitators, thesis supervisors and external examiners. A maximum of 25 course participants are accepted into the programme, which guarantees intensive personal contact with facilitators and academic supervisors throughout the programme. TARGET GROUP____ The MScIH is intended for public health-related academic professionals of all backgrounds, including nurses and physicians, with at least two yearsʼ work experience in public health. Its focus is to provide course participants with a solid foundation in public health principles, focusing on low- and middle-income countries and competencies with the tools and methods necessary to initi- ate programmes that can improve health services in an efficient, sustainable and equitable way. Career Perspective Graduates are expected to take up policy, planning, management or teaching positions in, for example, international organisations, ministries of health, national health programmes, non-govern- mental organisations and universities.

VORWORT 148 TEXTILMASCHINEN UND TEXTILE HOCHLEISTUNSGWERKSTOFFTECHNIK (ALTER NAME: TEXTIL- UND KONFEKTIONSTECHNIK) Technische Universität Dresden STANDORT____ Die Technische Universität Dresden geht auf die 1828 gegründete Technische Bildungsanstalt Dresden zurück; sie gehört damit zu den ältesten technisch-akademischen Bildungsanstalten Deutschlands. Mit rund 37.000 Studierenden, rund 4.200 fest angestellten Mitarbei- tern (ohne Medizinische Fakultät) – darunter 419 Professoren – sowie fast 2.000 Drittmittelbeschäftigten (ohne Medizinische Fakultät) ist sie heute eine der größten Universitäten Deutschlands. Bis zur Wieder- vereinigung wissenschaftlich von den Natur- und Ingenieurwissen- schaften geprägt, entwickelte sie sich durch die Hinzugründung neuer Fakultäten auf den Gebieten der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften und der Medizin zu einer Volluniversität. Mit insgesamt 14 Fakultäten bietet sie heute ein wissenschaftliches Spektrum, dessen Breite nur wenige andere Hochschulen in Deutschland aufzuweisen haben. Die TU Dresden ist eine der elf Exzellenzuniversitäten Deutschlands. Die Dresdner (über 500.000 Einwohner) und die Besucher aus aller Welt haben Dresden immer für eine einzigartige Stadt gehalten. Dies reflektiert sich im Stadtbild von Dresden, mit Wohnbezirken weltbe- rühmter Architektur und umfangreichen Villenvierteln. Die unendliche Vielzahl von Ereignissen der Kunst und Kultur sowie die wundervolle Lage der Stadt im Elbetal sind Faktoren, die zur ausgezeichneten Lebensqualität in Dresden beitragen. Die Stadt selbst verdankt ihre hervorragende Stellung in Deutschland aber nicht nur ihrer kulturellen Vielfalt, sondern auch ihren modernen Industrieansiedelungen sowie den zahlreichen grundlagen- und anwendungsorientierten Forschungsinstituten, die in enger Kooperation mit der Universität zusammenarbeiten und die den Ruf Dresdens als Stadt der Wissen- schaften nachdrücklich verdeutlichen. STUDIEN - SCHWERPUNKTE____ Der Masterkurs eröffnet die Möglichkeit einer interdisziplinären Ausbildung, die sich auf den in Deutschland weltweit führenden Textilmaschinenbau und die Herstellung und Verarbeitung textiler Hochleistungswerkstoffe für technische Einsatzgebiete schwerpunkt- mäßig konzentriert.

Die klassische Textil- und Konfektionsindustrie gehört aber nach wie vor zum Einsatzgebiet der Absolventen. Diese bildet eine wichtige Basis für technische Anwendungsfelder. Der Schwerpunkt der fachspezifischen Module liegt auf innovativen Textilmaschinenentwicklungen und ressourceneffizienten Technolo- gien zur Herstellung neuer technischer, textilbasierter Produkte. Dazu gehören die Studienbereiche Vliesstoffe für medizinische und hygie- nische Anwendungen, Textilrecycling, Filtermaterialien, Geotextilien, Leichtbau, Personen- und Objektschutz sowie Smart Textiles. Der Studiengang eröffnet Studierenden mit einem ersten berufsqua- lifizierenden Hochschulabschluss aus den Bereichen Maschinenbau, Textilmaschinenbau, Textiltechnik, Textiltechnologie, Entwicklung textilbasierter Produkte, Konfektionstechnologien für textile Produkte, Textilchemie und Textilveredlung, Textilrecycling die Möglichkeit zu einer interdisziplinären universitären Ausbildung mit einem Master-Abschluss, der bei hervorragenden Leistungen zur Promotion befähigt. Das Curriculum ermöglicht zudem eine individuelle Vertiefung und Schwerpunktsetzung im Rahmen des Moduls “Forschungspraktikum” und der Wahlmodule. Der Wahlpflichtbereich umfasst spezifische Inhalte zu komplexen Textilkonstruktionen, Design von Technischen Textilien, Maschinen und Technologien zur Herstellung und Konfektionierung von Technischen Textilien, Funktionalisierung und Grenzschichtdesign von Textiloberflächen, Textilveredlung, faserbasierte Implantate und Biomaterialien, Tissue Engineering, 2D/ 3D-CAE Technologien zur Entwicklung von Textilkonstruktionen und textilen Produkten, Maschinen und Technologien zur Herstellung von Vliesstoffen und für das Textilrecycling, Auslegung, Konstruktion und Einstellung von Textil- und Konfektionsmaschinen sowie Textilmanagement. Der Studiengang ist forschungsorientiert mit einem extrem hohen Praxisbezug. Die von der Forschung geprägten Lehrinhalte und die auf die Forschung ausgerichteten Master-Arbeiten tragen dem im Besonderen Rechnung. Ingenieurwissenschaften und verwandte Disziplinen Textilmaschinen und Textile Hochleistunsgwerkstofftechnik (alter Name: Textil- und Konfektionstechnik) 150 STUDIEN - SCHWERPUNKTE____ Die Module Mathematik für Ingenieure, Computeranwendungen im Maschinenwesen, Technische Mechanik, Konstruktionslehre/Maschi- nenelemente, Getriebetechnik und Arbeitswissenschaft/Betriebswirt- schaftslehre erweitern und vertiefen die mathematisch-ingenieurwis- senschaftlichen sowie betriebswirt- und arbeitswissenschaftlichen Kenntnisse der Studierenden als wichtige Voraussetzung für das Fachgebiet. Im Rahmen der Master-Arbeit bearbeitet der Studierende anspruchs- volle, industrierelevante Aufgabenstellungen aus der aktuellen For- schung des Fachgebietes und/oder deren Anwendungen selbständig und nach wissenschaftlichen Methoden. In Form eines Kolloquiums werden die Ergebnisse dargestellt und diskutiert. Durch den erfolgreichen Abschluss des Studiums erwirbt der Absolvent einen akademischen Grad, der weltweit zur Promotion berechtigt. Das Masterstudium ist modular aufgebaut und umfasst vier Semester. Es besteht aus 12 Modulen. Das Lehrangebot ist auf die ersten drei Semester und die ersten sechs Wochen zu Beginn des vierten Semesters verteilt. Das vierte Semester ist darüber hinaus über einen Zeitraum von vier Monaten für die Anfertigung der Master-Arbeit vorgesehen sowie für das Kolloquium. Inhalte und Qualifikationsziele, Lehr- und Lernformen, Voraussetzun- gen, Verwendbarkeit, Häufigkeit, Arbeitsaufwand sowie Dauer der einzelnen Module sind den Modulbeschreibungen zu entnehmen. Die sachgerechte Aufteilung der Module auf die einzelnen Semester, deren Beachtung den Abschluss des Studiums in der Regelstudienzeit ermöglicht (zwei Jahre), sowie Art und Umfang der Lehrveranstaltun- gen sind dem Studienablaufplan zu entnehmen. Leistungspunkte dokumentieren die durchschnittliche Arbeitsbelas- tung der Studierenden sowie ihren individuellen Studienfortschritt. Ein Leistungspunkt entspricht einer Arbeitsbelastung von 30 Stunden. In der Regel werden pro Studienjahr 60 Leistungspunkte vergeben, d. h. 30 pro Semester. Inklusive der Master-Arbeit und des Kolloquiums können insgesamt 120 Leistungspunkte erworben werden. Die Module ergeben dabei 100 Leistungspunkte. Für die Master-Arbeit werden 19 Leistungspunkte und für das Kolloquium wird ein Leistungspunkt vergeben. Leistungspunkte werden grundsätzlich modulweise und nur dann vergeben, wenn die Modulprüfung bestanden wurde. In den Modulbeschreibungen ist geregelt, wie viele Leistungspunkte durch ein Modul jeweils erworben werden können und unter welchen Voraussetzungen dies im Einzelnen möglich ist.
