... This year's Scientific Symposium of the University Library is already number six in the row. It was again prepared and organised like some of the previous conferences together with our North American partners. This means that a continuous specialists’ discussion and a professional partnership have been already installed. All librarians and information managers are invited to learn more about the results of this cooperation every year when it's time for the next Symposium during Frankfurt Book Fair. ...
Was charakterisiert Universität? Welchen Leitbildern folgten – und folgen – Hochschulreformen? Unter diesen zentralen Fragestellungen den bundesrepublikanischen Diskurs im Spannungsfeld von universitärem Selbstverständnis und gesellschaftspolitischen Anforderungen näher zu beleuchten, seine Entwicklung zu dokumentieren und zu deuten, war Anliegen der Tagung „Zwischen Idee und Zweckorientierung. Vorbilder und Motive von Hochschulreformen seit 1945“.[1] Die im Rahmen des Forschungskollegs „Wissenskultur und gesellschaftlicher Wandel“ von den Teilprojekten Soziologie und Neuere Geschichte an der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt vom 2. bis zum 4. März 2006 ausgerichtete Veranstaltung wurde von der Fritz Thyssen Stiftung für Wissenschaftsförderung unterstützt. ...
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".
The paper will provide a brief background to the history of the organization and cooperative efforts of African studies librarians in the United States including their efforts at international cooperation. Particular emphasis will be placed on the current opportunities for improved cooperation as digitization activities increase. Examples will include the DISA and Aluka initiatives and well as the Timbuktu manuscript digitization project at the Center for Research Libraries. Particular emphasis will placed on the possibilities for German-North American cooperation in the area of digital projects of historical photographs given the extensive collections held at Northwestern and Frankfurt.
Research on a variety of structurally different languages suggests that information is assigned to grammatical form in way of preferred representations of arguments. These preferences can be captured by four interacting constraints which are based on the analysis of spoken and written discourse. These constraints represent measurable discourse preferences: pragmatically unmarked utterances seem to follow them blindly and widely. Consequently, the preferences motivating these constraints seem to represent the default structuring of discourse in immediate relation to elementary grammatical form. Discourse is no longer viewed as acting upon grammatical form, but as being ‘grammatical’ itself.
Die Podiumsdiskussion fand als öffentliche Abendveranstaltung im Rahmen des sozialwissenschaftlichen Workshops "Krise der 'Arbeitsgesellschaft' - Transformation zur 'Grundeinkommensgesellschaft'? Diskurse, Deutungsmuster und Habitusformen im Wandel" statt, der vom 14. bis 15. Juli 2006 an der Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt am Main abgehalten wurde. Veranstalter war das soziologische Forschungsprojekt "Praxis als Erzeugungsquelle von Wissen" (Leiter: Prof. Dr. Ulrich Oevermann) im Forschungskolleg und Sonderforschungsbereich 435 "Wissenskultur und gesellschaftlicher Wandel" der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main. Initiiert und organisiert wurde der Workshop von Manuel Franzmann mit Unterstützung zahlreicher Kollegen und Förderer.
Bewahren und Erschließen : die deutschsprachige jüdische Presse und das Projekt Compact Memory
(2006)
Jüdische Zeitschriften stellen für die Erforschung des jüdischen Kultur-erbes eine unverzichtbare Quelle dar. Vollständige Ausgaben der Periodika sind auf Grund des schlechten Erhaltungszustandes und der Zerstörungen durch Krieg und Nationalsozialismus nur noch in wenigen Bibliotheken vorhanden, so dass ihre Nutzung schwierig ist. Compact Memory bietet als Datenbank weltweit freien Online-Zugang zu den Zeit-schriften in digitalisierter Form an und stellt ein wichtiges Hilfsmittel für die Erforschung der modernen mitteleuropäisch-jüdischen Geschichte dar. 118 verschiedene Titel mit insgesamt circa 700.000 Seiten, welche die unterschiedlichsten Strömungen des Judentums repräsentieren, sind als Grafiken bzw. als Volltext zugänglich, außerdem kann in einer Suchmaske gezielt recherchiert werden. Mit der Aufnahme in das UNESCO Archives Portal hat Compact Memory internationale Anerkennung erlangt.
U. S. library resources on South Asia that were built around the limited needs of a handful of Sanskritics before World War II have made a long journey during the past half century. Since the inception of the Library of Congress Cooperative South Asia Acquisition Program (formerly called "PL-480" program), in 1962, libraries have built significant collections with financial support from governmental agencies and philanthropic foundations, to support teaching and research in all areas of social sciences and humanities. These collections have been supplemented by efforts to build retrospective collections and to microfilm rare materials in British and South Asian libraries and archives. Today, in cooperation with South Asian libraries, several projects are underway to preserve and digitize rapidly deteriorating materials so that these riches can be shared with the global scholarly community through electronic means.
The paper presents an overview about some of the international relevant projects of digital resources in Germany. Online presentations of primary sources, e.g. photographic material, and bibliographic tools supporting research, such as cross searching, will be presented as potential partners of resource sharing with North America. Not only the possibility of cooperation will be sketched, but also necessary preliminary work and some obstacles will be outlined. This report is accompanied by a short characterization of African studies in Germany and the status quo of Open Access-initiatives.
Meeting Abstract : 27. Deutscher Krebskongress. Berlin, 22.-26.03.2006.
Docetaxel, Adriamycin, Cyclophosphamide (TAC) is considered today as one treatment option for patients with node-positive primary breast cancer. However, treatment is associated with anaemia grade 1-4 (2-4) in up to 95% (36%) of patients. We prospectively investigated the use of a primary prophylaxis with Darbepoetin alfa once every 3 weeks in 35 patients receiving six to eight cycles of TAC as neoadjuvant treatment for breast cancer. Darbepoetin treatment started on day 1 of a TAC cycle if haemoglobin (Hb) was ≤ 14.0 g/dl. Dosage was adapted to 9 µg/kg if Hb was ≤ 13.0 g/dl on day 21 of the previous cycle, to 4.5 µg/kg if Hb was between 13.0 and 14.0 g/dl and was discontinued if Hb increased to ≥ 14 g/dl. The primary aim was to prevent Hb levels ≤ 12 g/dl before surgery. During 112 (50.2%) and 93 (41.7%) of 223 cycles, 4.5 µg/kg and 9 µg/kg Darbepoetin were given, respectively. Dosage was decreased from 9 to 4.5 µg/kg in 21 (60%) patients and 28 (12.4%) cycles. Treatment was discontinued due to Hb > 14.0 g/dl in 12 (34.3%) patients and 13 (5.4%) cycles. Hb level on day 21 of the last cycle was ≤ 12.0 g/dl in 4 (11.4%) patients. Eighteen (51.4%) patients during 36 (16.1%) cycles showed Hb levels ≤ 12 g/dl throughout treatment. No NCI-CTC grade 2 to 4 anaemia was observed. Symptoms of fatigue (FACT-AN) decreased slightly throughout treatment. Anaemia during TAC chemotherapy can be avoided by a single injection of Darbepoetin alfa every 3 weeks.
The enhancing importance of digital documents has effected activities on how to deal with them. One line came from the more general field of "scientific publishing", which was handled in detail by DINI (Deutsche Initiative für Netzwerkinformation). But for this initiative long- time archiving was only one field of many and was not their primary focus. DINI first of all concentrated on the elaboration of effective and standardized methods and tools for publishing and related services on the basis of open access policy via the use of institutional repositories. The second line of projects came from the more general view of maintaining cultural heritage also in a digital world. Especially under the patronage of the Ministry of Education and Research important projects were being financed. Strategic solutions including archives, libraries, and museums are discussed and elaborated within NESTOR, where more technical solutions based on the term of practicability are developed within KOPAL. KOPAL brought together the industry (IBM) with a public- funded technical center (GWDG) and two libraries (DNB and SUB Göttingen). Within this project a general software implementation, which took into consideration all necessary international standards, could be finished last month and has been now for about two weeks. Based on early results within NESTOR it seemed important too, to strengthen all activities by giving them a legal basis. Therefore when the law changed concerning the German National Library from June 22nd this year (DNBG), the library was authorized with all the necessary instruments to collect digital documents in "non-physical" form as well. With this law at the moment Germany is in the rare position of being one of the few countries where the collection of network publications is part of the whole legal deposit strategy.
Siegfried Kracauer hat bereits 1947 in seinem Buch „Von Caligari bis Hitler“ davon gesprochen, dass sich der Film spiegelbildlich zur Gesellschaft, aus der er stammt, verhalte. Insofern waren Film und Gesellschaft also immer schon voneinander ent-grenzt: Was im Film gezeigt wird ist ein Reflex dessen, was in der sozialen Wirklichkeit geschehen ist oder gerade geschieht. Das gilt für den Zeichentrickfilm ebenso wie für den Dokumentarfilm, für das Melodram genauso wie für den Horrorfilm. Es ist allein eine Frage des Abstraktionsgrades. Film ist damit wie jede Kunstgattung lso ein Seismograph gesellschaftlicher Phänomene und darüber hinaus ein Medium, das mit seinen Bildern abstrakte Phänomene der Wirklichkeit bildhaft zu konkretisieren in der Lage ist. Dies, seine prinzipiell hohe Verfügbarkeit durch zahlreiche Medien und seine vermeintliche Trivialität, macht ihn zu einer Kunstform, die nicht nur auf Diskurse reagiert, sondern an ihnen teilnimmt, sie sogar initiiert und selbst Gegenstand von Diskursen wird, die seinen Kunstwerk-Charakter manchmal vergessen lassen.
Die in den beiden letzten Jahren abgeschlossenen Nationallizenzen haben Tatsachen geschaffen, die den Start zu einer Umstrukturierung der überregionalen Informationsversorgung erleichtern: - Versorgungslücken wurden geschlossen. - Die Durchdringung der Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen mit elektronischer Fachinformation wurde vergleichbaren Ländern angeglichen. - Wissenschaftler, Studierende und wissenschaftlich interessierte Privatpersonen haben deutschlandweit kostenlosen Zugang zu einem fachlich breit gestreuten Angebot an retrospektiven Datenbanken, digitalen Textsammlungen und elektronischen Zeitschriften.
In our presentation we will outline the verb system of Lelemi and concentrate on certain “focal” aspects which are of primary interest to us. Lelemi has two TAMP paradigms: one constituting the so-called “simple tenses”, the other the so-called “relative tenses” (Allan 1973), although not every “simple tense” has a counterpart in the “relative tenses”. The simple paradigm is formed by subject prefixes (prefixed pronouns for 1st or 2nd person and noun class pronouns for 3rd persons) and the verb form whereas the relative paradigm is build up by the obligatory use of an external subject noun, an invariable verb prefix, and the verb form. While the simple paradigm is used in quite a lot of syntactic environments the relative paradigm only shows up in relative clauses with the subject being the head as well as in subject and sentence focus constructions including questions concerning the subject. We will show some interesting interactions between the grammatical expression of focus and the verb system and sketch the grammaticalisation path of the morpheme nà.
