The paper discusses the request of the Jewish Middle/ Middle-East-European immigrants for images, impressions, feelings and memories from their native lands, which Aaron Lebedeff masterfully captured in his American-Jewish musicals. The paper focuses on multiculturalism and multilingualism in overlapping regions of extended cultural areas, particularly in territories along the borders of Middle/Middle-East-European states, which don’t form any abrupt cultural barriers. Using the example of a in our time in Jewish milieus worldwide frequently played quadrilingual song from Aaron Lebedeff about Romania (with the German translation of the complete version from 1925), the paper conveys the role of Yiddish as a major dialect of the German as a worldwide carrier of this language as well.
The stories about the Vaser Valley in the northern Romanian Forest Carpathians have not only fascinated the population of the region, but also famous writers who have always tried to collect the stories and tales from the historical region of the Vaser Valley. The best-known author of this region, who turned his lifelong work into this spectacular project, is the German-speaking ethnologist and writer, of Romanian origin, Anton-Joseph Ilk. His book Die mythische Welt des Wassertales includes a remarkable collection of legends and tales from this region, presented in their orally transmitted stories. The main themes of the stories naturally include customs and traditions, whereby certain values and principles were passed on not only to he children and grandchildren, but also to all succeeding generations.
The Bucharest author Oscar Walter Cisek (1897-1966) does not write about the interests of the German minority in Romania to which he himself belongs, but describes the life of the Romanian, Turkish and Tartar population in the first half of the twentieth century. The aim of the present article is to determine foreign-cultural signs in the German versions of the novella Die Tatarin (1928/29) and to analyse how an internal linguistic cultural transfer is achieved. From the evaluation of the reviews to the novella Die Tatarin appeared in the German press between 1929-1930 arise three aspects of ”otherness”: the exotic space, the foreign culture and the oriental woman. The present article analyses especially the representation of the foreign culture in Cisek’s novella.
Two methods (new miniaturized method according to TNV 757741 and standard method were compared. The new method was found comparable with several advantages. The older method can be replaced by the new one without problems or both of them can be used for the same purpose.
The neutron sensitivity of the C6D6 detector setup used at n_TOF facility for capture measurements has been studied by means of detailed GEANT4 simulations. A realistic software replica of the entire n_TOF experimental hall, including the neutron beam line, sample, detector supports and the walls of the experimental area has been implemented in the simulations. The simulations have been analyzed in the same manner as experimental data, in particular by applying the Pulse Height Weighting Technique. The simulations have been validated against a measurement of the neutron background performed with a natC sample, showing an excellent agreement above 1 keV. At lower energies, an additional component in the measured natC yield has been discovered, which prevents the use of natC data for neutron background estimates at neutron energies below a few hundred eV. The origin and time structure of the neutron background have been derived from the simulations. Examples of the neutron background for two different samples are demonstrating the important role of accurate simulations of the neutron background in capture cross-section measurements.
The neutron capture cross section of 58Ni was measured at the neutron time of flight facility n_TOF at CERN, from 27 meV to 400 keV neutron energy. Special care has been taken to identify all the possible sources of background, with the so-called neutron background obtained for the first time using high-precision GEANT4 simulations. The energy range up to 122 keV was treated as the resolved resonance region, where 51 resonances were identified and analyzed by a multilevel R-matrix code SAMMY. Above 122 keV the code SESH was used in analyzing the unresolved resonance region of the capture yield. Maxwellian averaged cross sections were calculated in the temperature range of kT = 5 – 100 keV, and their astrophysical implications were investigated.
Man kann eine literarische Konzeption oder ein literarisches Milieu auch durch seine Bereitschaft zu Theoriebildung und Programmatik kennzeichnen. In der Wiener Kultur um 1900 ist die Anzahl literaturästhetischer und kunstkritischer Arbeiten beträchtlich; die bereits genannten repräsentativen Autoren wie auch zahlreiche halb vergessene Kritiker haben daran teil. Allein auch hier fällt ein bezeichnender Umstand ins Auge. Mustert man die kritischen Schriften der wichtigsten, Bewegung und Milieu wirklich prägenden Schriftsteller, ist die Tatsache nicht zu übersehen, daß die größte Aufmerksamkeit Fragen der Drarnentheorie sowie der Poetik lyrischer Dichtung und kleiner Prosaformen gilt.
Für eine Theorie großer Erzählgattungen ist dagegen kein ausgeprägtes Interesse zu erkennen. Zwischen Kraus oder Hofmannsthal und der folgenden Generation liegt eine poetologische Zeitenscheide. Um den Dingen gerecht zu werden, ist es erforderlich, zwischen einem programmatischen bzw. poetologischen Diskurs und gelegentlichen kritischen Äußerungen über Lektüre zu unterscheiden.
A publicação deste polêmico artigo é uma homenagem de Lua Nova aos oitenta anos de História e Consciência de Classe, de Georg Lukács. Seu autor faz um resgate do jovem Lukács, identificando os pressupostos e idéias que tornam esse livro de 1923 não tanto filosoficamente, mas politicamente, um feito revolucionário, em sintonia com o ''Evento de 1917'' na Rússia. Zizek entende que é justamente seu teor político, o qual aponta para uma crítica radical dos regimes liberal-democráticos predominantes no Ocidente, que o mantém atual, nesse sentido ultrapassando os limites auto-impostos dos autores da Dialética do esclarecimento.
Die literaturwissenschaftliche Germanistik in der Slowakei ist eine relativ junge Disziplin. Ihre Entfaltung ist seit einigen Jahrzehnten an mehreren germanistischen Zentren sowohl an Universitäten als auch im Rahmen der Slowakischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu registrieren. Dieses qualitative Anwachsen vor und nach der Wende ist mit einigen Namen verknüpft. Der vorliegende Beitrag setzt sich zum Ziel, einige Aspekte der germanistischen Komparatistik nach 1990 zu beleucht
Theodor Storm (1817 – 1888) gehört zu den bedeutendsten Repräsentanten des poetischen Realismus in Deutschland. Er schrieb zahlreiche Novellen und Erzählungen sowie ästhetisch wertvolle Gedichte. Die bisherigen literarhistorischen Arbeiten betonen seine eindeutige Verankerung im deutschen Kulturraum, obwohl Storm aus der Stadt Husum (heute Bundesland Schleswig-Holstein) stammte, die bis zur Mitte der 60er Jahre des 19. Jahrhunderts ein Teil des Königreichs Dänemark war. Nach mehreren Kriegen, in denen Preußen und Österreich gegen Dänemark kämpften, wurde Schleswig zur preußischen Provinz und nach 1871 Teil des Deutschen Reichs. Diese Region prägte den jungen Storm wesentlich: Hier lebten Dänen neben Deutschen. Es handelte sich um diverse Formen der dänisch-deutschen Zweisprachigkeit und Biliterarität, was letztendlich zu einem regen interkulturellen Transfer führte.
Die slowakische Übersetzung des Kleinen Katechismus Doktor Martin Luthers erschien 1581 (im Weiteren: Bartfelder Katechismus 1581) in der ostslowakischen Stadt Bardejov/Bartfeld in der Verlagsdruckerei von David Guttgesell. Es handelt sich um das erste gedruckte slowakische Buch, das als ein wertvolles Zeugnis des kulturellen und geistigen Erbes der Slowaken betrachtet wird. Es ist umso wertvoller, als dass von der gesamten Auflage bloß ein einziges, beschädigtes Exemplar erhalten wurde, welches in der Slowakischen Nationalen Bibliothek in Martin aufbewahrt wird...
In this paper I tried to demonstrate that the British films depicting football hooliganism could be viewed as glorifying violence. A considerably great number of scenes and a great amount of time devoted to the presentation of violence, together with the unpunished, painless and heroic aspects of such presentations are just one side of the glorifying coin. The other side is occupied with the deeper meaning of particular scenes or the general overtones of the films which seem to develop a tendency to present a hooligan firm as a family-like community that offers happiness and produces a strong feeling of belonging and solidarity that adds spice to the boring working or middle class life. Violent confrontations are depicted as a source of pleasurable emotional arousal that surpass other forms of enjoyment. Moreover, confronting other hooligans helps hooligans to construct hard masculine identity based on physical prowess. Finally, being a good fighter is a fast track to earning a reputation that provides hooligans with a sense of power and importance. Real hooligans starring in the films, thus potentially encouraging viewers to become “wannabe warriors”, is also of great importance. However, the way the audiences react to the on-screen presentation of violence with all its aspects is a topic for much broader research.
Acrostilicus Hubbard, 1896 and Pachystilicus Casey, 1905 are North American genera known from only one and two species, respectively, and have never been a subject of a modern revision. In fact, Acrostilicus was not even properly described as its author provided only a sketchy diagnosis of the genus and species. Here, we provide a redescription of the genus Acrostilicus and its species and illustrate the habitus and male genital features. For the first time, we also redescribe Pachystilicus and its two species, and provide their differential diagnoses. Additionally, we tested the phylogenetic position of both genera. They were scored into a morphological matrix supplemented with molecular data and the analyses were run using Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods. A total of 119 morphological characters and 4859 bp of nuclear (28S, TP, Wg, CADA, CADC, ArgK) and mitochondrial (COI) sequences were analysed for 46 taxa. The results confirmed that both Acrostilicus and Pachystilicus are members of the subtribe Stilicina, but at the same time challenged the monophyly of the subtribe in its current composition. Additionally, we provided further evidence for non-monophyly of the subtribe Medonina and discussed the biology of Acrostilicus and Pachystilicus.
The myrmecophilous Paederinae rove beetle genus Megastilicus Casey, 1889 from North America is reviewed based on museum specimens. Prior to this study, the genus was monotypic with one species Megastilicus formicarius Casey, 1889 described. Here, we provide a redescription of the genus and the type species, designate a lectotype, and provide pictures of habitus and illustrations of the aedeagus and genital segments. Additionally, we describe a new species for the genus, Megastilicus iowaensis sp. nov., include an identification key to the two species and present the distribution map of both of them, including new state records. We discuss the assignment of the genus to the subtribe Stilicina based on morphological features.
In this article I reanalyze sibilant inventories of Slavic languages by taking into consideration acoustic, perceptive and phonological evidence. The main goal of this study is to show that perception is an important factor which determines the shape of sibilant inventories. The improvement of perceptual contrast essentially contributes to creating new sibilant inventories by (i) changing the place of articulation of the existing phonemes (ii) merging sibilants that are perceptually very close or (iii) deleting them. It has also been shown that the symbol š traditionally used in Slavic linguistics corresponds to two sounds in the IPA systemsystem: it stands for a postalveolar sibilant (ʃ) in some Slavic languages, as e.g. Bulgarian, Czech, Slovak, some Serbian and Croatian dialects, whereas in others like Polish, Russian, Lower Sorbian it functions as a retroflex (s). This discrepancy is motivated by the fact that ʃ is not optimal in terms of maintaining sufficient perceptual contrast to other sibilants such as s and ç. If ʃ occurs together with s and sj there is a considerable perceptual distance between them but if it occurs with ç in an inventory, the distance is much smaller. Therefore, the strategy most languages follow is the change from a postalveolar to a retroflex sibilant.
This paper evaluates trills [r] and their palatalized counterparts [rj] from the point of view of markedness. It is argued that [r]s are unmarked sounds in comparison to [rj]s which follows from the examination of the following parameters: (a) frequency of occurrence, (b) articulatory and aerodynamic characteristics, (c) perceptual features, (d) emergence in the process of language acquisition, (e) stability from a diachronic point of view, (f) phonotactic distribution, and (g) implications. Several markedness aspects of [r]s and [rj] are analyzed on the basis of Slavic languages which offer excellent material for the evaluation of trills. Their phonetic characteristics incorporated into phonetically grounded constraints are employed for a phonological OT-analysis of r-palatalization in two selected languages: Polish and Czech.
In this paper it is argued that several typologically unrelated languages share the tendency to avoid voiced sibilant affricates. This tendency is explained by appealing to the phonetic properties of the sounds, and in particular to their aerodynamic characteristics. On the basis of experimental evidence it is shown that conflicting air pressure requirements for maintaining voicing and frication are responsible for the avoidance of voiced affricates. In particular, the air pressure released from the stop phase of the affricate is too high to maintain voicing which in consequence leads to a devoicing of the frication part.
This summary provides an overview of how new therapies or new aspects of established therapies relate to the latest findings. Neoadjuvant therapy, local therapy, new aspects of systemic therapy, and prognostic and predictive factors are presented. In the neoadjuvant setting, the association between pathological complete response (pCR) and prognosis is still of interest as is the identification of new molecular predictors for new therapies such as CDK4/6 inhibitors. As regards surgical treatment, the target is still to reduce the aggressiveness of surgery. To achieve this, a better understanding particularly of ductal carcinoma in situ is required. With regard to systemic therapy, more data on the best combinations and therapy sequences for existing therapies is available. Finally, the use of prognostic and predictive factors may help to avoid overtreatment and ensure that patients only receive therapies which have been shown to be effective for their specific condition and have fewer side effects.
In dieser Übersichtsarbeit wird dargestellt, wie neue Therapien oder neue Aspekte etablierter Therapien in Zusammenhang mit neuesten, aktuellen Erkenntnissen stehen. Neoadjuvanz, Lokaltherapie, neue Aspekte der Systemtherapie und Prognose- sowie Prädiktivfaktoren werden beleuchtet. In der Neoadjuvanz ist nach wie vor der Zusammenhang zwischen pCR und Prognose von Interesse, ebenso wie neue molekulare Prädiktoren für neue Therapien wie CDK4/6-Inhibitoren zu identifizieren. Bei der operativen Behandlung wird weiter nach einer Reduktion der Aggressivität gestrebt. Insbesondere das duktale Carcinoma in situ muss dafür noch besser verstanden werden. Bei den Systemtherapien wächst die Datenlage zum Verständnis der besten Kombinationen und Therapieabläufe für bestehende Therapieverfahren. Letztendlich muss mithilfe von Prognose- und Prädiktivfaktoren vermieden werden, dass Übertherapien stattfinden und nur die Patientin spezifische Therapien erhält, welche bei dieser individuellen Patientin eine nachgewiesene Wirksamkeit mit wenig Nebenwirkungen haben.
Nach der zuletzt publizierten Liste (DUCHAC 1999) waren aus dem Gebiet der Tschechischen Republik 28 Arten der Afterskorpione bekannt. Einige Arten (Mundochthonius styriacus, Apocheiridium ferum) sind auf dieser Liste angeführt, ohne dass bisher nahere Informationen über ihr Vorkommen und Fundumstande publiziert waren. In der Zeit von der Bearbeitung dieser Liste bis zu ihrer Publizierung determinierte der erste der Autoren dieses Beitrags weitere drei für das Gebiet der Tschechischen Republik neue Arten (Microbisium suecicum, Anthrenochernes stellae, Chernes vicinus) und eine Art, die in der Tschechischen Republik nach mehr als hundert Jahren wieder gefunden wurde (Roncus "lubricus"). Der zweite der Autoren bemerkte eine neue Lokalität der Art Syarinus strandi. Es ist notwendig zu betonen, dass einige interessante Funde direkt im Stadtgebiet Prags gemacht worden sind, einige fast im Stadtzentrum.
We discuss the potential of light-nuclei measurements in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies for the search of the hypothetical QCD critical end-point. A previous proposal based on neutron density fluctuations has brought appealing experimental evidences of a maximum in the ratio of the number of tritons times protons, divided over deuterons square, O tpd. However these results are difficult to reconcile with the state-of-the-art statistical thermal model predictions. Based on the idea that the QCD critical point can lead to a substantial attraction among nucleons, we propose new light-nuclei multiplicity ratios involving He in which the maximum would be more noticeable. We argue that the experimental extraction is feasible by presenting these ratios formed from actual measurements of total and differential yields at low and high collision energies from FOPI and ALICE experiments, respectively. We also illustrate the possible behavior of these ratios at intermediate energies applying a semiclassical method based on flucton paths using the preliminary NA49 and STAR data for O tpd as input.
Sprache als ein Bestandteil des biologisch-kognitiven Einklangs angeborener menschlicher Fähigkeiten wird in kognitiv-linguistischer Leseart nicht als ein vom Menschen unabhängiges, abstraktes sowie autonomes System betrachtet. Sprache ist mit Bedeutung demzufolge als Verknüpfung von verschiedenen Wissensaspekten in der menschlichen Kognition verankert. Die bestimmten Spielarten der kognitiven Linguistik, die Sprache als Teil der menschlichen Kognition begreift, versuchen, besonders den Einfluss der menschlichen Wahrnehmungsprozesse auf Sprache und sprachliche Strukturen zu analysieren...
V německých gramatikách i speciálních studiích se často uvádějí prefigovaná slovesa, jako einschlafen, ausziehen aj., jako příklad sloves dokonavých (perfektivních, telických). Na druhé straně atributivním prézentním participiím (Partizip I) z nich tvořeným (einschlafende, ausziehende) se přisuzuje vid pouze nedokonavý. Na základě korpusového výzkumu se v této studii dokazuje, že prézentní atributivní participia mají v německých textech i význam dokonavý, i když se tento význam uplatňuje poměrně zřídka.
Grčke i semitske riječi u latinskome tekstu Ivanova evanđelja izražavaju specifične biblijske pojmove, gotovo potpuno nepoznate većini engleskog stanovništva do evangelizacije tijekom sedmoga stoljeća. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja ispitati na koje su sve načine one prevedene na staroengleski i srednjoengleski jezik te objasniti razloge takva prevođenja ondje gdje je to moguće. Komparativnom metodom istražit ćemo utjecaj porijekla riječi na njihov oblik i značenje i pokušati rasvijetliti kognitivne razlike u doživljaju biblijskih pojmova među autorima prijevoda i njihovih suvremenika, do kojih je došlo uslijed relativno dugoga razdoblja proteklog između triju prijevoda.
U radu se prvi put objavljuje jedina zasad pronađena inačica glagoljičke pasionske pjesme, koju smo nazvali Ja, Marija, glasom zovu, zapisane u Berčićevu kodeksu br. 5 s kraja 15. st. Donosi se latinička transkripcija teksta te njegove osnovne književnopovijesne, grafijsko-ortografske i jezično-stilske značajke.
U radu se analizira sintaktička funkcija participa u hrvatskome jeziku 15./16. st. jer su se otprilike u to vrijeme u sintaktičkom ustrojstvu (staro)hrvatskoga jezika događale vrlo krupne jezične promjene, koje su posljedica “departicipijalizacije” participa, tj. preobrazbe naslijeđenih participnih oblika u glagolske priloge.
U radu se analizira poglavlje Sprichwörter – Prirečja iz Kristijanovićeva Anhanga, aneksnog rječnika dodanog njegovoj Grammatik der kroatischen Mundart. Prirečja sadrže kajkavsku paremiološku građu s njemačkim ekvivalentima koja se analizira s obzirom na njezine izvore i leksikografsku obradbu. Pokazuje se da osim poslovica rječnik sadrži i frazeme i kolokvijalne izraze. Posebna se pozornost posvećuje semantičkoj analizi poslovica i naznačuje na koji se aspekt ljudskog života pouka i poruka odnose.
U radu se raspravlja o prefiksu ne- u kajkavskome književnom jeziku. Proučavaju se rječotvorbeni procesi u kojima sudjeluje, tvorbeni načini u kojima se javlja te se ispituje njegova frekventnost u tvorbi pojedinih vrsta riječi. Istražuju se i rječotvorbene i semantičke veze tvorenica s predmetkom ne- i riječi koje su ih motivirale.
U radu se analiziraju pravi tvorbeni mocijski parnjaci u kajkavskome književnom jeziku. Utvrđuju se sufiksi produktivni u mocijskoj tvorbi u književnoj kajkavštini, njihova učestalost i korelativni parnjaci u kojima se javljaju. Rezultati se uspoređuju s osobitostima mocijske tvorbe u hrvatskome standardnom jeziku.
Interkulturelle Kompetenz
(2006)
Die Kommunikation zwischen den Menschen wird durch die Beherrschung der Sprache des Anderen ermöglicht und erleichtert. Ob sich aber die Partner wirklich verstehen, im Sinne wechselseitige Wünsche, Erwartungen, Ziele und vor allem ihre Wertvorstellungen, Normen und Verhaltensregeln so aufnehmen und interpretieren zu können, wie der Partner selbst es sieht und versteht, wird keine Garantie geleistet.
U ovome radu autor će, na osnovu vlastitih istraživanja, pokušati dati sumaran prikaz akcenatskih svojstava govora otoka Iža, smještenog u zadarskom arhipelagu. Namjera mu je smjestiti iški govor i akcenatski sustav među drugim čakavskim otočkim govorima, dati fonetski i fonološki opis pojedinih akcenata i potkrijepiti ih primjerima koje je čuo od iških govornika i, konačno, pokušati utvrditi fonološki status čakavskog akuta u iškome govoru. Budući da su istraživanja bila ograničenoga karaktera, ovaj rad nije zamišljen kao konačan opis, već kao polažišna točka za buduća istraživanja koja je potrebno izvršiti na osnovu kojih će se moći napraviti što iscrpniji i potpuniji opis iškoga govora i akcenatskoga sustava.
Die Geometrie und ihre Sprache im 16. Jahrhundert am Beispiel der deutschen volkssprachlichen Werke
(2013)
Der mathematischen Wissenschaft Geometrie kam schon in der Antike eine wichtige Stelle zuteil. Die Pythagoreer (6. Jahrhundert v. Chr.) erklärten sie zu einer der vier grundlegenden Disziplinen: Arithmetik, Astronomie, Harmonielehre (Musik) und Geometrie (mathemata). Grammatik, Rhetorik, Dialektik und die vier genannten Disziplinen galten als der weltliche Wissensstoff und wurden im Mittelalter als die sieben Freien Künste (Septem artes liberales) bezeichnet und an den ersten Universitäten gelehrt. (Vgl. Taegert 2008: 13−14). "Wissenschaftssprache war im Mittelalter Latein, so dass Mathematik in lateinischer Sprache gelehrt und notiert wurde. Die Beschäftigung mit ihr war naturgemäß auf einen sehr eng umgrenzten Personenkreis beschränkt. Alltagsrelevante praktische Anwendungen der Mathematik standen hier, wie beispielweise bei der sogenannten "Klostermathematik", nicht im Vordergrund, vielmehr wurde diese Wissenschaft als eine den Geist und das schließende Denken schulende Tätigkeit angesehen." (Schuppener 2003: 40)...
The article focuses on suffixoids based on titles of nobility and ecclesiastical titles. As an example, the study analyzes a total of 14 suffixoids with regard to the relation between the base word and the suffixoid. For this purpose, the author created a corpus of 200 tokens from online sources covering a 10-year period. The study presents suffixoids as active word-formation elements used as a result of linguistic expressivity and creativity. Moreover, it suggests an increasing tendency towards their use. This linguistic study can be seen as a new impetus to further investigations, especially in the field of translation studies – e.g. in the comparison of German and Czech with regard to this topic, which remains an uncharted field with no accurate studies yet available.
Recombinant DNA technology is an essential area of life engineering. The main aim of research in this field is to experimentally explore the possibilities of repairing damaged human DNA, healing or enhancing future human bodies. Based on ethnographic research in a Czech biochemical laboratory, the article explores biotechnological corporealities and their specific ontology through dealings with bio-objects, the bodywork of scientists. Using the complementary concepts of utopia and heterotopia, the text addresses the situation of bodies and bio-objects in a laboratory. Embodied utopias are analyzed as material semiotic phenomena that are embodied by scientists in their visions and emotions and that are related to potential bodies and to future, not-yet-actualized embodiments. As a counterpart to this, the text explores embodied heterotopias, which are always the other spaces, like biotechnological bio-objects that are simulated in computers or stored in special solutions.
Nakon uvodnih napomena o gornjomeđimurskome naselju Dragoslavec Breg (s osobitim osvrtom na povijest njegova imena, neslužbeni etnik i kretanje broja stanovnika), u radu se na osnovi terenskim i arhivskim istraživanjem prikupljene građe analizira antroponimijski sustav toga naselja. Pokazuju se značajke osobnih imena (njihova službena i neslužbena uporaba te učestalost), prezimena njegovih stanovnika (učestalost, podrijetlo, značenje i tvorbena struktura) kao i njihovi obiteljski nadimci (motivacija i tvorbene značajke).
V prispevku je predstavljeno slovensko narečno besedje za pomen ‘sinova žena’ v Slovenskem lingvističnem atlasu (SLA) v primerjavi s kajkavskim narečnim besedjem za ta pomen, zbranim za Hrvaški jezikovni atlas (HJA). Narečno gradivo, zbrano za ta dva temeljna nacionalna dialektološka projekta je namreč zanimivo tudi za raziskovanje slovensko-hrvaškega jezikovnega stika, saj zlasti v Pomurju in Medžimurju, v Posotelju, Beli krajini, na Kostelskem in v Gorskem kotarju ter v Istri jezika in njuna obmejna narečja bolj postopoma prehajajo eden v drugega in imajo zato mnoge skupne značilnosti tako na fonološki in morfološki kot tudi na leksikalni ravnini. Na primeru narečnega gradiva za vprašanji SLA-V614 snaha in HJA-V548 snaha, nevjesta je skupaj z morfonološko analizo in kartografskim prikazom prostorske razširjenosti narečnih leksemov predstavljen tudi način komentiranja narečnega gradiva v SLA.
We performed a survey of grassland communities in the Ukrainian Carpathians with the aim of: (1) syntaxonomically classifying the meso- and subxerophilous grassland vegetation; (2) analysing the main gradients in their species composition; (3) estimating the effect of selected environmental factors on grassland species composition; (4) assessing the species richness of vascular plants and bryophytes in relation to the measured environmental variables. We collected 46 phytosociological relevés during the growing seasons of 2010 and 2011. Species composition and species richness were studied at two spatial scales (1 m² and 16 m²) in relation to soil parameters (soil depth, pH (KCl), content of P, K, Mg, N and C), management regime (mowing, grazing, ploughing in the past and burning), and other factors (altitude, litter cover, open soil, inclination, solar radiation and animal excrement). Seven grassland types were distinguished belonging to 3 classes and 4 alliances, namely the Nardetea strictae including the Violion caninae (mesic pastures at altitudes of 400–600 m mostly on moderate slopes) and the Nardo strictae-Agrostion tenuis (grasslands on moderate slopes at altitudes of 700–900 m usually managed by mowing and grazing the aftermath); the Molinio-Arrhenatheretea, including the Arrhenatherion elatioris (submontane grasslands originated mostly on former fields after their abandonment in the past) and the Cynosurion cristati (intensive pastures); and the Festuco-Brometea including the Cirsio-Brachypodion pinnati (abandoned grasslands dominated by Brachypodium pinnatum and Inula salicina). Detrended correspondence analysis indicated that the major compositional turnover was related to altitude and soil reaction. A canonical correspondence analysis confirmed that altitude had the strongest effect on species composition in the analysed dataset, followed by management treatments (former ploughing, grazing intensity). For vascular plant species richness, regression tree analysis identified grazing intensity as the most important predictor at the 1 m² scale. At the 16 m² scale, soil humus content was evaluated as the most important predictor of vascular plant species richness, followed by litter cover and grazing intensity. The number of bryophytes was not determined by the studied environmental factors at either of the two spatial scales. Although the number of analysed relevés in this study was limited, our results significantly contribute to the understanding of submontane grasslands in the Ukrainian Carpathians.
A long-term systematic survey of grassland communities was performed in the Biele Karpaty Mts. in Slovakia. The main aims of the research were i) syntaxonomical classification of meso- and subxerophilous grassland vegetation, ii) analysis of the main gradients in species composition, iii) evaluation of the effect of environmental factors on species composition of grasslands. The data set included 342 phytosociological relevés of grasslands recorded between 1991 and 1999. For the classification of relevés to associations, the expert system for identification of grassland vegetation of Slovakia was used. The main environmental gradients of species composition were analysed by detrended correspondence analysis (DCA). For the ecological interpretation of ordination axes Ellenberg indicator values were used. The relationship between species composition and environmental factors (geology, pedology, climate, topography, management) was analysed by canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). The expert system identified (according to association definitions) 220 phytosociological relevés (64% of the whole data set). Grassland communities were classified within seven associations belonging to four alliances and three classes: Festuco-Brometea: Bromion erecti and Cirsio-Brachypodion pinnati; Molinio- Arrhenatheretea: Arrhenatherion; Nardetea strictae: Violion caninae. The results of the DCA support our assumption that the main environmental gradient in species compositions of grasslands is related to moisture and soil reaction (content of CaCO3 in the soil). The results of the direct gradient analysis (CCA) show that all 23 environmental variables explained 16.15% of the variability of the species data. The most important factors affecting the data variation were precipitation and geological bedrock.
U radu se analizira uloga deiktičkih obilježivača (markera) u generičkom strukturiranju diskursa. Najprije se podsjeća da u postojećim tipologijama žanrova diskursa prisutnost deiktičkih obilježivača i drugih tragova subjektivnosti predstavlja važan kriterij za razgraničenje žanrova koji koegzistiraju u određenom društveno-povijesnom okviru unutar određenog tipa diskursa i za deskripciju uvjeta njihove diversifikacije. Zatim se, na primjeru diskursa medijske informacije na čije generičko strukturiranje utječu različite strategije objektivizacije, nastoji pokazati da primjena tog kriterija dobiva svoj puni smisao tek u kombinaciji s kriterijima koji se odnose na tekstualna i situacijska obilježja relevantna za generičko strukturiranje diskursa, a to su, s jedne strane, komunikacijski ciljevi sudionika u interakciji i specifične diskurzivne aktivnosti koje oblikuju relacijski profil tekstualnih struktura i, s druge strane, složenost interakcijskog okvira i stupanj heterogenosti deiktičkih i polifonijskih struktura.
U radu se analizira uloga jednog tipa referencijalnih izraza – anaforičkih izraza – u diskurzivnom oblikovanju odabranog medijsko-znanstvenog događaja (“uskrsnuće” bakterije Deinococcus radiodurans). Predlaže se transverzalna analiza anaforičkih izraza utemeljena na modularnom pristupu kompleksnosti organizacije diskursa i na dinamičnoj koncepciji anaforičke referencije, shvaćene kao segment šireg procesa konceptualnog strukturiranja svijeta diskursa i usuglašavanja mentalnih predodžbi sudionika u interakciji.
Die gesellschaftliche Wende 1989 hatte u. a. einen grundsätzlichen Umbau der bisherigen Verlagslandschaft in der Slowakei zur Folge. Wenn die Lage davor und danach verglichen wird, erscheinen markante Unterschiede, die neben anderen herausgegebenen Büchern auch die Übersetzungen aus der deutschsprachigen Literatur betreffen.
Am 16. April 2019 starb unser hervorragender Kollege und Freund, Literaturwissenschaftler, Hochschulpädagoge und Literaturübersetzer, Dr. habil. Milan Žitný, PhD. Der Absolvent des Studiums der Germanistik und Nordistik an der Philosophischen Fakultät der Comenius-Universität Bratislava begann seine wissenschaftliche Laufbahn als Mitarbeiter des Instituts für Weltsprachen und Literatur an der Slowakischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Hier promovierte er mit einer Dissertation über junge nonkonformistische DDR-Lyrik.
Predmet ovog rada su kajkavizmi u Tkonskom zborniku – glagoljskom rukopisu koji je početkom 16. stoljeća pisan na frankopanskim posjedima. Utvrđeno je da su u tom rukopisu prisutni kajkavizmi na svim razinama: fonološkoj, morfološkoj, leksičkoj i sintaktičkoj. Najviše je kajkavizama na leksičkoj razini, a oni se mogu podijeliti u dvije skupine: 1. zajednički čakavsko- kajkavski sloj, npr. betegь, gdo, nigdar, hiniti, hud, kaštigati, lotar itd.; 2. kajkavski sloj, npr. fajtati, gorup, nekoteri, pokrivača, škoda, špotati, tanac itd. Prva je kategorija leksema interpolirana u gotovo svim dijelovima CTk, a druga je najčešća u Cvetu od kreposti i Muci. Tkonski zbornik čuva jedno ogromno leksičko bogatstvo, a pri usporedbi pojedinih leksema s onima u hrvatskoglagoljskim misalima i brevijarima, zaključeno je da su neki od njih potvrđeni i ranije, npr. betegь, kaštigati, praviti, gorup, tanac itd. To je potvrda o kontinuitetu hrvatskoglagoljske književnosti. Interpolacija kajkavizama nije ujednačena u svim dijelovima zbornika, kajkavske su intervencije najčešće u Cvetu od kreposti (f. 67 – 85) i u Muci Spasitelja našega (f. 109 – 161). Na temelju provedenog istraživanja može se zaključiti da je Tkonski zbornik rukopis sastavljen iz različitih dijelova, koji nisu nastali u istom razdoblju, ni na istom mjestu. Budući da kajkavizme u pojedinim dijelovima nalazimo na svim razinama (Cvet od kreposti i Muka), može se pretpostaviti da su oni nastali u sjevernom području, tj. bliže kajkavskom.
Cilj je ovoga rada opis zamjeničke deklinacije u jednom hrvatskoglagoljskom rukopisu, Akademijinu brevijaru iz 14. stoljeća, i potom usporedba sa stanjem u kanonskim starocrkvenoslavenskim rukopisima, zatim u hrvatskoglagoljskim fragmentima i liturgijskim rukopisima, u zbornicima, i na koncu u tiskanim brevijarima. Nadalje se na temelju proučene i izložene građe pokušava odgovoriti na pitanje postoji li razlika, i u kojoj mjeri, kod zamjeničkih oblika između prvoga (Psaltira) i drugoga dijela brevijara (Komunala), kao što je to već ustanovljeno za neke jezične razine, odnosno koliko je u drugome dijelu prisutan utjecaj narodnoga piščeva govora.
Die Arbeit enthält Untersuchungsergebnisse über die Unkrautvegetation in Südost-Slowenien, die nach unseren Feststellungen relativ gut entwickelt ist. Die Bestände wurden in 5 Assoziationen und eine Basalgesellschaft unterteilt. Allerdings war festzustellen, dass die Vielfalt bei den niedrigen Syntaxa gering ist, was auf den Rückgang extremer Standorte (Ausgleich des trophischen Nievaus) zurückzuführen ist. Vor allem wurden Typische Subassoziationen gefunden.
Při vyjadřování a popisu emocí zaujímají frazémy mezi jazykovými prostředky ojedinělé postavení. Ĉlánek nastiňuje dŧvody k tomuto tvrzení: Prostřednictvím frazémŧ jsou emoce vyjadřovány jednak díky silné expresivní sloţce frazeologického významu, jednak i díky samotnému (expresivnímu) uţití frazému v textu. Některé frazémy rovněţ mohou emoce oznaĉovat (popisovat, tematizovat), resp. k nim svým významem odkazovat (sich die Augen ausweinen können → smutek, zoufalství). Pro ilustraci výše uvedených úvah byla vybrána formálně i sémanticky omezená skupina frazémŧ – verbální frazémy obsahující somatické substantivum. Zvláštní roli tzv. somatických frazémŧ v problematice verbální artikulace a popisu emocí lze vysvětlit jejich frazeologickou aktivitou, vysokou symboliĉností některých somatických komponentŧ (Herz) a především tím, jak odráţejí úzkou interakci mezi emocemi a tělesnými stavy (einen Kloß im Hals haben), resp. jak verbalizují nonverbální projevy mimiky a gestiky (den Kopf hängen lassen).
Im vorliegenden Aufsatz werden vor dem Hintergrund der bisherigen germanistischen und bohemistischen Phraseologieforschung und in Anlehnung an die Herangehensweise von PIIRAINEN (2001) bzw. DOBROVOĽSKIJ/PIIRAINEN (2009) einige Phraseme benannt, die eine Art verstärktes Potenzial für eine geschlechtsbedingte Restriktion aufweisen. Die Überlegungen zu der Auswahl dieser Phraseme, ihrer phraseographischen Verarbeitung, der Ermittlung erforderlicher Angaben zur Geschlechtsmarkierung und einem eventuellen interlingualen phraseologischen Vergleich werden an verbalen Phrasemen mit Substantivkomponenten aus dem semantischen Bereich der Somatismen illustriert.
The spitting spider Scytodes fusca Walckenaer, 1837 is recorded for the first time in Central Europe from both Germany and Slovakia. The species was found in two localities, within the Botanical Garden in Bratislava (Slovakia), specifically from a heated greenhouse with high humidity, and the "Tropical Islands", a tropical holiday resort in Krausnick (Germany). It seems that this Pantropical species has probably been introduced here along with imported plants. A description of diagnostic characters, as well as figures, is given.
Carinostoma elegans new to the Slovakian harvestmen fauna (Opiliones, Dyspnoi, Nemastomatidae)
(2014)
A new genus and species of small harvestman was found for the first time in Slovakia – Carinostoma elegans (Sorensen, 1894). One male and two females were collected in the Mlyňany arboretum of the Slovak Academy of Science (western Slovakia). Descriptions and photographs of both sexes of C. elegans are provided. Additional comments, and a map of distribution of all species of this genus, are provided.
Die bisherige mangelhafte Berücksichtigung der substantivierten Infinitive in zweisprachigen Wörterbüchern Deutsch-Tschechisch kontrastiert mit deren oft hoher Vorkommenshäufigkeit sowie mit den Anforderungen, die an moderne Übersetzungswörterbücher seitens ihrer Benutzer gestellt werden, u. a. auch im Bereich der Darstellung der Kollokabilität und Erfassung der Synonymie bzw. Wortbildungskonkurrenz. Die Aufnahme und Darstellung der Infinitivkonvertate im entstehenden Großen Akademischen Wörterbuch Deutsch-Tschechisch wird in diesem Beitrag aus einer Corpus-Driven-Position behandelt.

Introduction: This study reports about antenatal characteristics of Roma minority population. The study was designed to investigate data about health behaviours known to be associated with reproductive outcomes of Roma women that have very good living conditions and relatively high resource availability.
Methods: A retrospective study included 204 Roma and 408 non-Roma hospitalised singleton births that occurred in the Maternity Ward of the General Hospital Virovitica in the period from 1991 to 2010. Data about women’s age, marital status, smoking, reproductive health (abortions, delivery), antenatal care, perinatal complications and gestational age were taken from hospital records and analysed.
Results: Roma women were averagely more than three years younger than non-Roma women, only 10.8% were married. Smoking was more frequent. The average number of births of Roma and non-Roma women was similar, averagely two children per woman. The rate of induced abortions in the Roma women was higher, while the frequency of spontaneous abortions was equal. Inadequate antenatal care of Roma women was associated with two times higher incidence of perinatal complications. A higher frequency of deliveries at home without professional assistance in Roma pregnancy resulted in lower perinatal outcomes. It was confirmed that Roma mothers give birth earlier (38+6 vs. 39+4 weeks) and have a higher incidence of premature births (9.3% vs. 2.2%).
Conclusions: In the comparison of antenatal parameters between the two researched groups, poorer prenatal outcomes in the Roma population were found, despite full integration and considerable improvement in living standards of this ethnic Roma population.
The Hultschin (Hlučín) region - now part of the Czech Republic - was annexed to the former Czechoslovakia in 1920. Throughout the centuries, its turbulent history has been shaped by various conflicting power interests, which have influenced the co-existence of the Czech and German communities which historically lived alongside each other. The Polish and Jewish communities had a relatively minor influence over the culture of this polylingual region, but the large German minority played a significant role. The influence of German language, culture and customs was not only visible in the political and economic life of the local population; it was also reflected in the various clubs and associations that were active in the region.
Smutek jako jedna ze základních emocí podstatně ovlivňuje ţivot jedince. Emoce pŧsobí na budoucí jednání ĉlověka ve spoleĉnosti a mají vliv na vnímání okolního světa a jeho utváření. Někdo, kdo je smutný, hodnotí své okolí spíše kriticky a toto negativní nazírání světa se pak odráţí v jeho postojích. Jedním z autorŧ, který reflektuje ve svém díle smutné záţitky z dětství, je rakouský spisovatel Thomas Bernhard. Ve svém románu "Ein Kind" líĉí emocionální izolaci a traumatické záţitky nechtěného dítěte.
Man könnte fast von einer Euphorie der kurzen Formen sprechen. Auch wenn das Aufkommen der Kurzprosa im weitesten Sinn sicher ein Phänomen der modernen Literatur immer noch bleibt, erreichte diese Form doch in der Deutschschweizer Literatur eine besondere Ausprägung. Ihre Entwicklung ist hier mit einer eigenen, aber auf keinen Fall geschlossenen Tradition verbunden, die sich im ungleich starken Maß von den Gattungen Roman und Lyrik unterscheidet.
Setkání se smrtí je jedním z témat, která jsou těsně spjata s literární tvorbou od jejich počátků. V sedmdesátých letech 20. století sděluje řada švýcarských spisovatelů otevřeně své privátní zážitky v autobiografických dílech, ve kterých nemá zůstat nic zatajeno, tedy ani hrůza nemoci a smrti.
Na konci osmdesátých a na počátku devadesátých let se hlásí o slovo mladá, zcela jinak orientovaná generace autorů. Pro jejich literaturu není typickým znakem jen odraz vnitřního světa, nýbrž i pokus spojit osobní život s veřejným zájmem. Jedním z představitelů této generace je Thomas Hürlimann. Švýcarská společnost a podmínky demokracie mu poskytují témata, která zpracovává ve stále nových variacích. V románu "Der grosse Kater" se prolínají dvě roviny. Veřejná, ve které jsou odhaleny praktiky politických šíbrů, a soukromá, která líčí bezmocnost rodiny, jež je nucena bezmocně přihlížet umírání dítěte. Obě roviny se setkávají ve styčném bodě, kterým je smrt. Smrt ovlivňuje rozhodující měrou životní osudy protagonistů a určuje jejich budoucí směřování.
Postmoderne Merkmale in der Schweizer Literatur am Beispiel Zoë Jennys Roman 'Das Blütenstaubzimmer'
(2009)
Postmodernì literatura se vyznačuje pluralitou moņnostì, charakteristickou pro dìla vznikajìcì na přelomu 21. stoletì. Jejich autoři usilujì o originalitu a individualitu své tvorby, coņ platì i pro ńvýcarské spisovatele. Představitelka nejmladńì generace spisovatelů Zoe Jenny lìčì v autobiograficky zabarvené románové prvotině 'Das Blütrenstaubzimmer' bolestné zránì mladé hrdinky. Do jejìho literárnìho ztvárněnì se promìtajì jednotlivé znaky postmodernì literatury, z nichņ některé jsou podrobněji analyzovány.
Das Hultschiner Ländchen ist heute ein Teil der Tschechischen Republik, in dem seit Jahrhunderten die mährischen/tschechischen, deutschen und polnischen sprachlichen und kulturellen Bevölkerungsgruppen zusammenlebten, wobei der deutsche Aspekt eine bestimmende Rolle spielte. In dieser Region wurde der vielseitig begabte Max Ring geboren, der als Arzt, Schriftsteller, Dramatiker und Journalist in Oberschlesien und vor allem in Berlin tätig war. In seinem autobiografischen Werk 'Erinnerungen' schildert Ring seine Kinderjahre im national und religiös liberalen Milieu des Heimatdorfes und die sozialen Verhältnisse im industriellen Oberschlesien genauso wie das Leben der Boheme in den Berliner literarischen Gesellschaften.
The early 20th century is associated with many terrible events in Europe's wartime history. The loss of historical awareness and the attempt to reconcile oneself with the wartime past is the subject of many novels. The theme of alienation and deracination as a result of the horrors of war is treated by W. G. Sebald in his novel 'Austerlitz'. The hero of the novel, having experienced the horrors of the Holocaust, is condemned to a lifetime of remembering, which uncovers terrible secrets that were never meant to be revealed.
During the last two decades of the 20th century writers gradually returned to traditional narrative methods, though their works were creatively enriched by the incorporation of new tendencies. The results of these efforts show traces of literary postmodernism. One of the representatives of German-language postmodern literature is Sten Nadolny, whose oeuvre is typified by its openness to the plurality and diversity of the world. His novel "Ein Gott der Frechheit" revives ancient gods and mythological figures, revealing the mysteries of old legends; this is viewed as a background to the self-destructive disorientation of contemporary society.
Hlučín (formerly Hultschin) is now part of the Czech Republic, though the influence of the German language can be observed in the region's folk culture. Important names include August Scholtis, born in Bolatice, as well as other figures such as Hermann Janosch, Alfons Hayduk, Karl-Ernst Schellhammer, Richard Kühnau, Georg Hyckel, Ferdinand Minsberg and Elfrieda Moser-Rath. The oral folk tradition in the region has mostly been passed down via folk songs, fairy-tales, legends and other narratives. These genres reflect various themes, related primarily to local personalities, castles and manor houses or events in specific villages.
For cold (neutronless) fission we consider an analytical model of quantum tunneling with dissipation through a barrier U(q) evaluated with a M3Y nucleon-nucleon force. We calculate the tunneling spectrum, i.e., the fission rate as a function of the total kinetic energy of the fragments. The theoretical results are compared with the experimental data obtained for the fine structure of two cold fission modes of 252Cf: 148Ba+104Mo and 146Ba+106Mo. Taking into account the dissipative coupling of the potential function U(q) and of the momentum p with all the other neglected coordinates, we obtain a remarkable agreement with the experimental data. We conclude that the cold fission process is a spontaneous decay with a spectrum determined by the shape of the barrier and an amplitude depending on the strength of the dissipative coupling.
In the present research a pronunciation training, which was implemented within the scope of the seminar "Reading skills II", is being discussed. Turkish students in their first year, studying German Language Teaching at Uludağ University participated in this research. After a theoretical grounding, the conception of the pronunciation training and how it was implemented in the seminar will be introduced. The aim of this study is to examine, how the detected phonetic problems of the students can be eliminated through a targeted pronunciation training and how it can be perceived by the students. Orientated on the Qualitative Evaluation by Kuckartz et al. (2007) the analysis has been carried out. Therefore a questionnaire and a group-interview have been applied. Considering the evaluated results, possible perspectives for the specific field of research and teaching practice have been presented.
Im Bereich des Deutschen als Fremdsprache bietet etwa das Goethe-Institut Prüfungen auf allen Niveaus (A1-C2) an und entwickelt entsprechende Vorbereitungsmaterialien. Dazu gehören neben Modellprüfungen auch Wortlisten A1, A2 und B1 (vgl. z. B. Goethe-Institut 2016). Zur Arbeit mit den Wortlisten im DaF-Unterricht liegen nach Auskunft des Informationszentrums für Fremdsprachenforschung der Philipps-Universität Marburg vom 01.12.2017 weder wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen noch Praxisberichte vor. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit soll versucht werden, zum Beheben dieses Desiderats beizutragen. Der Untersuchungsfokus liegt dabei auf den Erfahrungen der DaF-Studierenden mit dem Einsatz der Wortliste im Unterricht sowie ihren persönlichen Speicherstrategien beim Vokabellernen.
A recent report showed PINK1 transcript levels to be up- or down-regulated by the gain or loss of Ataxin-2 function, respectively, in human blood, in a human neural cell line and in mouse tissues. These observations may have profound implications for the regulation of cell growth and may be medically exploited for the treatment of cancer and neural atrophy...
Ataxin-2 (human gene symbol ATXN2) acts during stress responses, modulating mRNA translation and nutrient metabolism. Ataxin-2 knockout mice exhibit progressive obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. Conversely, the progressive ATXN2 gain of function due to the fact of polyglutamine (polyQ) expansions leads to a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative process named spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) with early adipose tissue loss and late muscle atrophy. We tried to understand lipid dysregulation in a SCA2 patient brain and in an authentic mouse model. Thin layer chromatography of a patient cerebellum was compared to the lipid metabolome of Atxn2-CAG100-Knockin (KIN) mouse spinocerebellar tissue. The human pathology caused deficits of sulfatide, galactosylceramide, cholesterol, C22/24-sphingomyelin, and gangliosides GM1a/GD1b despite quite normal levels of C18-sphingomyelin. Cerebellum and spinal cord from the KIN mouse showed a consistent decrease of various ceramides with a significant elevation of sphingosine in the more severely affected spinal cord. Deficiency of C24/26-sphingomyelins contrasted with excess C18/20-sphingomyelin. Spinocerebellar expression profiling revealed consistent reductions of CERS protein isoforms, Sptlc2 and Smpd3, but upregulation of Cers2 mRNA, as prominent anomalies in the ceramide–sphingosine metabolism. Reduction of Asah2 mRNA correlated to deficient S1P levels. In addition, downregulations for the elongase Elovl1, Elovl4, Elovl5 mRNAs and ELOVL4 protein explain the deficit of very long-chain sphingomyelin. Reduced ASMase protein levels correlated to the accumulation of long-chain sphingomyelin. Overall, a deficit of myelin lipids was prominent in SCA2 nervous tissue at prefinal stage and not compensated by transcriptional adaptation of several metabolic enzymes. Myelination is controlled by mTORC1 signals; thus, our human and murine observations are in agreement with the known role of ATXN2 yeast, nematode, and mouse orthologs as mTORC1 inhibitors and autophagy promoters.
Alfred Döblin ist einer der erfolgreichen Schriftsteller, der die Eigenschaften der Literatur und Medizinwelt in seinen Werken vereint. Problematische Beziehungen des Menschen mit sich selbst und mit seiner Umgebung, seine Zerrissenheit in der Groβstadt, seelische Krankheiten prägen seine literarischen Werke und seine literarische Kreativität steht unter dem Einfluss seiner medizinischen Kenntnisse und insbesondere unter den seelischen Motiven. Aus diesem Grunde besteht immer die Möglichkeit, in seinen Werken diesen medizinischen Einflüssen häufig zu begegnen.
Döblin stellt in der Erzählung "Die Ermordung einer Butterblume" die Erlebnisse des Herrn Michael Fischer bei einem Waldspaziergang dar. Die Komplexität der Figur wird durch den Erzähler und seine Erzählweise konkretisiert. Denn die Konstruktion des Textes ist ebenso wichtig wie der Inhalt. Deswegen führt die Konstruktion des Textes dazu, den gesamten Text durch den Erzähler und die wechselnden Erzählperspektiven aufzuklären. Außer der wichtigen Funktion des Erzählers wird die Erzählung auch mit der außerordentlichen Figur in Betracht gezogen. Die Figur ist in einer Auseinandersetzung mit sich selbst und hat seelische Probleme. Seine seelischen Probleme werden durch den Erzähler und seine Erzählweise untersucht und aufgeklärt. Die Einflüsse dieser seelischen Probleme werden durch die Verfolgung des Erzählers gefunden und die Spuren/Motive werden durch die Einstellung des Erzählers gegenüber der erzählten Welt gelöst.
Türkiye'de 1998 yılından bu yana üniversitelerde lisans düzeyinde uygulanmakta olan Çift Anadal Programları, şartları sağlayabilen öğrencilere iki ayrı anadaldan aynı zamanda mezun olma şansı tanımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, bu programları bütün yönleri ile Almanca Öğretmenliği bölümlerinin gözünden incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Buna yönelik olarak veri toplamak için bir anket geliştirilmiş ve bu anket Türkiye'deki altı üniversitenin Almanca Öğretmenliği Programı öğrencisi olan 513 kişi üzerinde uygulanmıştır. Anket sonuçlarına göre çift anadala katılımcıların ilgisi beklenilenin çok üstündedir. Katılımcılar özellikle ileride atanma şanslarını çift diploma sayesinde artırmak için çift anadal yapmak istediklerini belirtmişlerdir. Ayrıca katılımcıların büyük bir çoğunluğu İngilizce Öğretmenliği bölümünde çift anadal yapmak isterken bu seçimin başlıca nedenleri olarak katılımcıların İngilizce dil bilgilerinin iyi olması ve bu bölümün atanma oranlarının yüksek olması bulunmuştur. Katılımcılar, çift anadal sayesinde disiplinlerarası çalışma becerilerinin gelişmesine ve çift anadalın hem mesleki hem de bilişsel birçok faydası olduğuna da işaret etmişlerdir. Bununla beraber çift anadal yapmak katılımcılar tarafından stresli, zaman açısından ve iş yükü bakımından zor bir program olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre çift anadalın daha da geliştirilmesi ve sorunlarının ortadan kaldırılmasına yönelik bazı öneriler verilmiştir.
Der XIV. Internationale Türkische Germanistik-Kongress fand im Zeitraum vom 25. bis zum 27. Oktober 2018 unter dem Motto "Ex Oriente Lux: Orient in der deutschen Sprache, Literatur und Kultur" an der Atatürk Universität in Erzurum statt. Der Kongress wurde vom dortigen Institut für Deutsche Sprache und Literatur in Kooperation mit dem Türkischen Germanistenverband (GERDER) organisiert. [...] Auf dem Kongress wurden die Beiträge in fünf Parallelsitzungen zu den Fachbereichen Literaturwissenschaft, Sprachdidaktik (DaF), Linguistik und Translationswissenschaft vorgetragen.
Obwohl der Antisemitismus als Begriff im Jahre 1860 zum ersten Mal von dem österreichischen jüdischen Wissenschaftler Moritz Steinschneider benutzt und 1879 von Wilhelm Marr verbreitet wurde, beruht das Phänomen des Antisemitismus auf Tausenden von Jahren. Diese Feindseligkeit tauchte von Zeit zu Zeit mit zunehmender Stärke auf. Obwohl unter den Ursachen dieser Kräftigung die Auswirkung sozialer, wirtschaftlicher und politischer Faktoren ist, kann die Rolle der Literatur nicht bestritten werden. Ebenso gibt es literarische Werke gegen den Antisemitismus. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, den Einfluss des Antisemitismus auf die Literatur zu bestimmen, die in Frankreich und Deutschland am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts und zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts entstanden ist. Man wird gleichzeitig versuchen, den Einfluss der Literatur auf den Antisemitismus zu bestimmen. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, wurde vor allem die Geschichte des Antisemitismus und die Entstehung des Antisemitismus-Konzeptes in Europa erforscht. Danach wurden die zwei Ereignisse, die den Antisemitismus am meisten in der Neuzeit anheizten, der Dreyfus-Fall und die Dolchstoßlegende, im literarischen Hintergrund erforscht. Eine reziproke Beziehung zwischen Literatur und Antisemitismus wurde in der Studie des Dokuments gefunden. Demnach entstehen gleichzeitig literarische Werke infolge der Judenfeindlichkeit, während die Judenfeindlichkeit infolge der Literatur entsteht. Einige dieser literarischen Werke - wie das berühmte Werk von Emile Zola, "J'accuse" - sind gegen die Judenfeindlichkeit entstanden. Es wird festgestellt, dass die Reaktion der beiden Gesellschaften auf Antisemitismus in dieser Hinsicht anders ist, wenn der politische Hintergrund berücksichtigt wird. Darüber hinaus kann man nach den Ergebnissen der durchgeführten Forschung feststellen, dass die Macht der literarischen Werke auch einer der Faktoren ist, der die Kräftigung oder den Rückgang des Phänomens Antisemitismus beeinflusst. Daher wird der Einfluss der Literatur auf die Gesellschaft betont.
Selizitapia gen. nov. (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Flatidae) from tapia woodlands of Madagascar
(2021)
A new monotypic genus of flatid planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Flatidae), Selizitapia gen. nov., is described for Selizitapia pennyi gen. et sp. nov. (type species) from the island of Madagascar. Habitus, male and female external and internal genital structures of the new species are illustrated and compared with similar taxa. Selizitapia pennyi gen. et sp. nov. is endemic to Madagascar where it is known to date only from one locality in the Central Plateau and is associated with tapia woodland formation.
Bujurquina is the most widely distributed and species-rich genus of cichlids in the western Amazon of South America. In this study we describe a new species from Peru from a hypothesized reverse flowing river system. Prior to the origin of the modern Amazon River at 4.5 Ma, this river system had its headwaters on the Iquitos arch, one of several main structural arches (swells) in the Amazon. Prior to the origin of the modern Amazon these arches formed topographic barriers of drainage basins in lowland Amazonia. For our analyses we use morphological and molecular data, analyzed through multivariate statistics and molecular phylogenies, respectivelly. For all valid species in the genus (except B. cordemadi and B. pardus) we additionally for the first time provide photographs of live specimens. Based on DNA phylogeny and coloration patterns we demonstrate that Bujurquina is divided into two main clades and based on this we provide a dichotomous key for all the species.
Crenicichla is the largest and most widely distributed genus of Neotropical cichlids. The Crenicichla mandelburgeri species complex from the Middle Paraná departs from the ancestral and predominant ecomorphology of the large genus and shows parallel evolution of ecomorphs both within the complex and also to the unrelated C. missioneira species complex from the Uruguay River. Here, we formally describe a new species pair from the C. mandelburgeri species complex that has evolved a parallel morphological and ecological dichotomy to another species pair and also to species in the unrelated C. missioneira species complex. The new species pair is endemic to a single tributary (the Piray Guazú) of the Middle Paraná River where it is sympatric and partly syntopic. Mitochondrial DNA phylogeny shows the two new species as distantly related within the C. mandelburgeri species complex, each with a sister species in the Iguazú rather than in the neighbouring Paraná River tributaries. Nuclear DNA analyses demonstrate their sister-group relationship, which is however complicated by the reticulated origin of one of the new species. We present determination keys for all the currently formally described species of the C. mandelburgeri species complex including the new species described here.
The interdependence of selective cues during development of regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in the thymus and their suppressive function remains incompletely understood. Here, we analyzed this interdependence by taking advantage of highly dynamic changes in expression of microRNA 181 family members miR-181a-1 and miR-181b-1 (miR-181a/b-1) during late T-cell development with very high levels of expression during thymocyte selection, followed by massive down-regulation in the periphery. Loss of miR-181a/b-1 resulted in inefficient de novo generation of Treg cells in the thymus but simultaneously permitted homeostatic expansion in the periphery in the absence of competition. Modulation of T-cell receptor (TCR) signal strength in vivo indicated that miR-181a/b-1 controlled Treg-cell formation via establishing adequate signaling thresholds. Unexpectedly, miR-181a/b-1–deficient Treg cells displayed elevated suppressive capacity in vivo, in line with elevated levels of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated 4 (CTLA-4) protein, but not mRNA, in thymic and peripheral Treg cells. Therefore, we propose that intrathymic miR-181a/b-1 controls development of Treg cells and imposes a developmental legacy on their peripheral function.
B-cell development and function depend on stage-specific signaling through the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR). Signaling and intracellular trafficking of the BCR are connected, but the molecular mechanisms of this link are incompletely understood. Here, we investigated the role of the endosomal adaptor protein and member of the LAMTOR/Ragulator complex LAMTOR2 (p14) in B-cell development. Efficient conditional deletion of LAMTOR2 at the pre-B1 stage using mb1-Cre mice resulted in complete developmental arrest. Deletion of LAMTOR2 using Cd19-Cre mice permitted analysis of residual B cells at later developmental stages, revealing that LAMTOR2 was critical for the generation and activation of mature B lymphocytes. Loss of LAMTOR2 resulted in aberrant BCR signaling due to delayed receptor internalization and endosomal trafficking. In conclusion, we identify LAMTOR2 as critical regulator of BCR trafficking and signaling that is essential for early B-cell development in mice.
The article consists in a comparative reading of three novels: Um rio chamado tempo by Mia Couto, Le pain des corbeaux by Lhoussain Azergui and Paw królowej by Dorota Masłowska. In spite of the difference of the historical circumstances of Mozambique, Morocco and Poland, these three books meet at an intersecting point: the emergence of an intelligentsia that uses literacy and writing as an instrument to deconstruct the post-colonial concept of nation and to operate a trans-colonial renegotiation of identity. By the notion of trans-colonial, I understand the opposition against new kinds of symbolic violence that emerged after the end of the colonial period; here this new form of oppression is related to the concept of national unity – an artificial construct that leaves no place for a dualism or pluralism of cultural reality (two shores of the Zambezi river, Arab and Berber dualism in Morocco, "small homelands" in Poland).
The young heroes of the novels grasp the pen in order to break through the falseness or the taboos created by the fathers, establishing, at the same time, the relation of solidarity with the world of the grandfathers. The act of writing becomes an actualization of the ancestral universe of magic. The settlement of accounts with the parental generation concerns the vision of nation built upon the resistance against the colonizer (it also refers to the Polish cultural formation, based on the tradition of uprisings and resistance against the Russians).
This article aims to reveal the hitherto unknown circumstances of the creation of the opera "King Roger" ["Król Roger", premiere 1926] by the Polish composer Karol Szymanowski (1882-1932). As will be shown, this opera, with its oriental color, owes its genesis to the concluding of what we call "an emotional pact", referring to the 1918 meetings in Elizavetgrad, and then in Odessa on the Black Sea, between the composer and his cousin, the prose writer and poet Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz (1894-1980). Their Odessa stay, in particular, fostered the crystallization of their conception of beauty, and allowed namely the Dionysian element to emerge. At the same time, Odessa was where the creators were able to share the secret of their homosexuality, a place which functioned as a substitute for the Orient and an escape from the nightmare of World War I - all elements that found a wonderful expression in the libretto and the music of "King Roger".
Ubiquitin ligases and beyond
(2012)
First paragraph (this article has no abstract): In a review published in 2004 [1] and that still repays reading today, Cecile Pickart traced the evolution of research on ubiquitination from its origins in the proteasomal degradation of proteins through the revelation that it has a central role in cell cycle regulation and the recognition of regulatory roles for ubiquitin in intracellular membrane transport, cell signalling, transcription, translation, and DNA repair.
Die kontrastive und didaktisch orientierte Sprichwortforschung ist bisher [...] stark vernachlässigt worden. Dieses Desiderat ist durch jüngste Untersuchungen, die empirischlinguistische, korpusbasierte, kontrastive und didaktische Gesichtspunkte einbezogen haben, deutlich zu Tage getreten ist (vgl. v.a. P. Ďurčo: Sprichwörter in der Gegenwartssprache, Trnava, 2005). Es gibt bisher keine statistisch relevanten empirischen Untersuchungen zum aktuellen Gebrauch und zur gegenwärtigen Kenntnis von Sprichwörtern bei den Sprachbenutzern. Und es sind folgerichtig bisher keine spezialisierten Sprichwortkorpora erstellt worden. Es fehlen ebenso moderne ein- bzw. zweisprachige Sprichwortlexika, die ausschließlich auf der Basis umfangreicher Korpusanalysen erstellt worden wären. Ungelöst scheint nach wie vor die Problematik einer theoretisch und funktional begründeten parömiologischen Äquivalenz zwischen verschiedenen Sprachen. Offen ist nicht zuletzt die Frage der kontrastiven Klassifikation und Differenzierung von Sprichwörtern aus linguistischer Sicht.
In diesem Beitrag geht es um den Versuch, die erste Bestandsaufnahme der lexikografischen Produktion der allgemeinen deutsch-slowakischen Wörterbücher vorzulegen, jedoch ohne Anspruch auf eine tiefere linguistische Analyse der lexikografischen Konzepte und des bearbeiteten Materials in den einzelnen Lexika. Die speziellen Wörterbücher und Fachwörterbücher werden Untersuchungsgegenstand einer Folgestudie sein. Die gesamte Produktion kann man aus Sicht des Mediums zunächst in Printwörterbücher und digitale Wörterbücher teilen.
Der zwanzigjährige Weg, den die Germanistik in der Slowakei nach der Wende zurückgelegt hat, spiegelt sich in quantitativen und qualitativen Veränderungen, Erfolgen und Positiva in der breitesten und allgemeinsten Auffassung (der deutschen Sprache und der Arbeit im Bereich Germanistik tätiger Fachleute) wider. Beeinflusst von politischen, gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Veränderungen in der Slowakei sowie von Internationalisierungs- und Globalisierungstendenzen haben die deutsche Sprache und die Germanistik in der Slowakei Bedeutung erworben. Dies hatte eine massenhafte Vermittlung der deutschen Sprache auf allen Bildungsebenen (von Kindergärten bis zu Universitäten und Betrieben), die Gründung von germanistischen Instituten, Erweiterung von Studiengängen und Entwicklung der wissenschaftlichen und Forschungstätigkeit im Bereich der deutschen Sprache zur Folge. Zu einem in der Slowakei etablierten Forschungsbereich ist auch die deutsche Fachsprache geworden.
Der Beitrag präsentiert die Problematik der Possessivität in zwei typologisch diversen Sprachsystemen. Die Autoren analysieren die Ausdrucksweisen und die Spezifika der Kategorie der Possessivität in der deutschen Sprache (als einem Repräsentanten der germanischen Sprachgruppe) und in der slowakischen Sprache (als einem Repräsentanten der slawischen Sprachgruppe und zugleich der Muttersprache der Autoren). Es werden die vielseitigen semantischen und strukturellen Aspekte in beiden Sprachen beschrieben, wobei die konfrontative und kontrastive Betrachtung von Bedeutung ist. Es wurden die Konstruktionen beider Sprachen ausgewählt, die nach der von den Autoren angenommenen Begriffsbestimmung der Possessivität als possessiv zu betrachten sind. Die präsentierte Problematik kann für weitere Analysen und Untersuchungen sowohl im Bereich der Sprachwissenschaft als auch für die Erweiterung der interlingualen Kompetenz in beiden Sprachsystemen inspirierend und hilfreich sein.
U članku se analiziraju pojedina značenja perceptivnih glagola vidjeti i gledati u hrvatskome jeziku te njihova vidska obilježja. Glagol vidjeti u značenjima fizičke percepcije funkcionira u rečenici kao svršeni i kao nesvršeni glagol. Glagol gledati u značenju fizičke percepcije u rečenici funkcionira kao prototipni nesvršeni glagol, dok njegov svršeni parnjak pogledati funkcionira kao prototipni i kao neprototipni svršeni glagol, ovisno o značenju.
Opisuje se i analizira tvorba etnika i ktetika u kajkavskom narječju. Raščlamba se temelji na podatcima prikupljenima terenskim istraživanjima posljednjih gotovo pedeset godina u Upitnicima za Hrvatski jezični atlas (HJA), koji se izrađuje u Institutu za hrvatski jezik i jezikoslovlje, te na podatcima iz dijalektnih rječnika.
Muška osobna imena u promini
(2011)
U članku se prikazuje razvoj miljevačkoga prezimenskoga sustava od prvih prezimena zabilježenih u matičnim knjigama potkraj 17. stoljeća do prezimena koja se javljaju tek potkraj 19. stoljeća. Utvrđuje se koja su prezimena u međuvremenu ugašena, tj. koja su nestala zbog izumiranja loze ili zamjene novim prezimenom, najčešće dotadašnjim obiteljskim nadimkom. Analiziraju se motivacijsko-strukturna svojstva današnjih miljevačkih prezimena i njihovo jezično podrijetlo.
