Black-tailed Godwits (Limosa limosa) have been declining for decades in The Netherlands and so far this has not been slowed by conservation measures. A new form of agri-environment scheme was tried out in 2003-2005 at 6 sites where a ‘grassland mosaic’ (200-300 ha) was created by collectives of farmers through a diverse use of fields including postponed and staggered mowing, (early) grazing, creating ‘refuge strips’ during mowing, and active nest protection. We measured breeding success of godwits in each of the experimental sites and nearby, paired controls. Breeding success was higher (0.28 chicks fledged / pair) in mosaics than in controls, but due to lower agricultural nest losses only. Chick survival was 11 % in both mosaics and controls. The amount of late-mown and other grassland suitable for chicks hardly differed between treatments during the fledging period, mainly due to rainfall delaying postponed mowing in all sites. Chick survival was however positively correlated with site variation in the amount of high grass (>18 cm). Breeding success was high enough to compensate for adult mortality (ca. 0.6) in only one mosaic site. Chick survival was lower than in previous Godwit studies, indicating that additional loss factors have increased. Predation (50-80 % of chicks, mostly by birds) is a candidate, but changes in the suitability of late-mown grassland (insect abundance and sward density in grass monocultures) may also play a role. Consequently a higher management investment is needed to achieve a self-sustaining population.
No other country is influenced in its political, social and cultural structures by both western and eastern mentality such as Lebanon, and hardly any other country has such a pivotal function. In this mediator function it can be compared with a literary work, that merits its role in world literature as hardly any other piece of literature in regard to the co-operation of Orient and Occident. I am thinking of the collection of "A Thousand and One Nights", or with its original title "Alf Laila wa-Laila".
"Ich soll nicht zu mir selbst kommen" : Werther, Goethe und die Formung des Subjekts in der Moderne
(2006)
Die Leiden des jungen Werther: Sie gehen aus einem neuen Reflexions- uns Ausgleichungsbedürfnis hervor, aus der Suche nach einem konsistenten Ich. Werther erlebt die kognitiven und affektiven Veränderungen, die die Moderne heraufführt, und aus diesen Erfahrungen geht sein Verlangen nach Einheit hervor (...). Die Suche nach dem einheitlichen, festen, verläßlichen Ich hält den Briefroman zusammen, und die Gattungswahl korrespondiert mit der Fragestellung, denn das Medium des Briefes hat im 18. Jahrhundert seine rasante Ausbreitung erfahren, weil ein historischneuer Individualitätstyp aufgetreten ist und das Bedürfnis nach einem entsprechenden anthropologischen Diskurs vorhanden war. Die übergreifende Frage nach der Identität verbindet auch die scheinbar so verschiedenen Themen im ‚Werther’: Natur, Liebe und Gesellschaft.
