Fachleute aus Wissenschaft und Praxis diskutieren über aktuelle Herausforderungen

Das Verständnis des Menschen in der gegenwärtigen Medizin angesichts aktueller Herausforderungen steht im Mittelpunkt des interdisziplinären Symposiums „Blickpunkt Mensch – Medizin – Begegnung“, das am 20. September 2017 am Universitätszentrum Theologie (UZT) der Uni Graz eröffnet wurde. „Das Besondere dieser Veranstaltung ist, dass sie die reflektierte Medizin mit der spirituellen Tradition zusammenbringt und aufzeigt, wie man gemeinsam Zukunftswege gestalten kann“, unterstrich Dekan Reinhold Esterbauer bei der Begrüßung der TeilnehmerInnen.

Der erste Tag des Symposiums widmet sich am UZT unter dem Thema „Medizin und Menschenbild“ Fragen wie etwa: Ist das „bio-psycho-soziale Modell“ seinem Anspruch gerecht geworden, die Medizin zu einer ganzheitlichen Sicht zurückzuführen? Oder: Wie viel vom Menschen ist angesichts des zunehmenden Einsatzes von Robotern im Gesundheitswesen technisch ersetzbar?

Am 21. September stehen im Franziskanerkloster Graz das franziskanische Menschenbild und Praxisorte im Fokus. Die franziskanische Tradition bemüht sich, kranke und an den Rand gedrängte Menschen ehrfurchtsvoll zu achten, ihnen liebevoll zu begegnen und durch medizinische Behandlung zu heilen. Der Studientag geht unter anderem der Frage nach, wie pflegerische Spiritualität in den Ordensspitälern heute spürbar gemacht werden kann.

Das Symposium wird von der Katholisch-Theologischen Fakultät und dem Institut für Moraltheologie der Uni Graz, der Franziskanerprovinz Austria, dem Krankenhaus der Elisabethinen Graz und der Universitätsklinik für Anästhesiologie und Intensivmedizin der Med Uni Graz veranstaltet.

Jurassic Sounds: Biologist reconstructs insect songs from 165 million years ago

It was apparently not just the roars of the dinosaurs that made up the soundscape of the animal world during the Jurassic period. Crickets and grasshoppers communicated through a variety of songs and high-pitched sounds, as Thorin Jonsson from the Institute of Biology at the University of Graz discovered together with colleagues from the universities of Lincoln, Bristol (UK), Beijing (China) and Tempe (USA). The findings on what are so far the oldest traces of sound on Earth have just been published in the journal PNAS.

Rescue and risks: Researchers have surveyed public perceptions of AI

The use of artificial intelligence has had to be made transparent since 2 August 2026. The EU’s AI Act, which has been in force since then, also sets out how risky an application is and which security measures apply as a result. However, the assessment of risks by the legislation differs in some cases significantly from the perceptions of the Austrian public. This is the finding of a representative study carried out by data scientist Stefan Thalmann from the University of Graz and his team.

The Healing Sea: Researchers discover new approaches to treating chronic inflammation in sponges

Chronic inflammation plays a key role in many diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases to tissue damage following injuries or infections. “Normally, the body is able to resolve inflammation on its own. If this process becomes unbalanced, immune cells remain permanently active and continue to drive negative changes in the tissue,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz.
