U ovome se radu na temelju terenskog istraživanja obrađuje toponimija danas gotovo posve napuštenoga sela Dubljani u Popovu u istočnoj Hercegovini. U mjesnoj su toponimiji najzastupljeniji toponimi antroponimnoga postanja s pomoću kojih se upoznajemo s negdašnjim i današnjim imovinsko-pravnim ustrojem srednjovjekovnog Huma, toponim Satùlija (‘Sanctus Elias’) spomen je na davne romansko-hrvatske dodire, a na primjeru toponima Sačìvišće upoznajemo se s veoma složenom dijalektnom slikom istočne Hercegovine.
Buli is an Oti-Volta tone language spoken in Northern Ghana. This paper outlines the basic features of its tonal system and explores whether and in which way pitch respectively phonemic tone is approached as a means to indicate the pragmatic category of focus. Pursued are cases with focus-related surface tone changes as well as cases where pitch could help to disambiguate between broad and narrow foci. It is argued that focus is not consistently encoded by pitch or tone. Parallel findings for the closely related languages Kopen o (phonetic symbol)nni and Dagbani suggest that the apparent lack of significant prosodic focus signals in Buli might pertain to a larger group of tonal languages of the Gur family.

Twenty-two species of Strymon are known from the vicinity of Cacaulandia in Rondonia, Brazil, of which 14 are new species. These belong to 5 species groups: the "oreala" group [Strymon megarus (Godart)]; the "ziba" group [Strymon ziba (Hewitson), Strymon thulia (Hewitson), Strymon spinatus new species, Strymon latamaculus new species, Strymon pallidulus new species, Stlymon tholus new species]; "valentina" group [Strymon rotundum new species]; "crossoea" group [Strymon crossoea (Hewitson), Strymon crambusa (Hewitson), Stlymon germana new species, Strymon novasignum new species, Strymon clavus new species, Strymon implexus new species, Strymon inmirum new species, Strymon incanus new species, Strymon faunalia (Hewitson), Strymon halos new species, Strymon conspergus new species, Strymon bazochii (Godart), Strymon diagonalis new species]; and "eurytulus" group [Strymon bubastus (Stoll)]. Tentative subgroups of species are suggested for the "crossoea" group as they occur in Rondonia. A neotype is designated for Tmolus basilides and the name synonymized with Strymon megarus. The "basilides" group of Johnson et al. (1990) is renamed the "ziba" group. Based on lectotype designations and superficial and genital differences, S. ziba and S. thu.lia are elevated to specific status.
The species of Gigantombra and Angulopis encountered in the Caca ulandia area of central Rondonia, Brazil, are reviewed. These include ten species (all new) of Gigantombra (G. microserrata, G. dl:vergens, G. quadramacula, G. ampla, G. fuscafascia, G. silva, G. rondonia, G. obscura, G. pelplexa, G. pUlpura) and one new species of Angulo pis (A. tenuis). Thecla sangala Hewitson (1868) is recognized as having priority over Theela autoelea Hewitson (1863-1878 [1877]), new synonym. Rondonia continues to appear as a center ofthecline endemism and to provide abundant examples of sibling species diversity.
Thirty four species of Zethus are enumerated from Venezuela, providing known and new locality records. Six new species are described: Z. rubioi and Z. vincenti in the subgenus Zethusculus, Z. carpenteri and Z. milleri in the subgenus Zethoides, and Z. bolivarensis and Z. yepezi in the nominate subgenus. A key to the species of Venezuela is provided. The distribution patterns of Zethus are discussed.
In this article we examine and "exapt" Wurzel's concept of superstable markers in an innovative manner. We develop an extended view of superstability through a critical discussion of Wurzel's original definition and the status of marker-superstability versus allomorphy in Natural Morphology: As we understand it, superstability is - above and beyond a step towards uniformity - mainly a symptom for the weakening of the category affected (cf. 1.,2. and 4.). This view is exemplified in four short case studies on superstability in different grammatical categories of four Germanic languages: genitive case in Mainland Scandinavian and English (3.1), plural formation in Dutch (3.2), second person singular ending -st in German (3.3), and ablaut generalisation in Luxembourgish (3.4).
Let’s not forget that 1492, one of the first landmarks of Modernity, was both the year of the conquest of the Americas and of the fall or of the Reconquista of Granada, both of inner and outer ethnic cleansing of the nation state; that the national state was a colonial state and is now a securitarian state, that colonialism was the very form of Western Modernity, that the French Revolution itself was colonial, that the leader of the first Black revolutionary independence movement, Toussaint Louverture (Haiti), died in a French prison though inspired by the French Revolution. - No-one has access to reason as whole: there is no such thing as the whole of Reason, or Reason as a whole, or the Totality of reason. Reason is patched up of disconnected bits and pieces that reside at different addresses.
The Road to God Knows Where
(2010)
Gott, Tod, Leid, Drogen, Liebe, Wahnsinn – all das sind Motive, die in den Texten Nick Caves immer wieder erscheinen. Ihnen verdankt er sein düsteres, depressives Image, das ihn seit dreißig Jahren in allen Rollen begleitet, die er nicht nur als Musiker, sondern auch als Schauspieler und selbst als Schriftsteller in der Musik- und Filmlandschaft spielt. Musikalisch-stilistisch setzt Cave Ende der 1970er Jahre mit seiner Band The Boys Next Door, die sich später in The Birthday Party umbenennen, in der frühen Punkszene an. Mit zusätzlichen Elementen aus Rock und Blues und seiner einzigartigen Stimme hat er mit seiner 1984 gegründeten, bis heute bestehenden Band The Bad Seeds – benannt nach dem Film THE BAD SEED von Mervin LeRoy (1956) über ein Kind, das mordet – seine ganz eigene Richtung gefunden.
Giulio Camillo (1480 - 1544) was as well-known in his era as Bill Gates is now. Just like Gates he cherished a vision of a universal Storage and Retrieval System, and just like Microsoft Windows, his ‘Theatre of the Memory’ was, despite constant revision, never completed. Camillo’s legendary Theatre of Memory remained only a fragment, its benefits only an option for the future. When it was finished, the user - so he predicted - would have access to the knowledge of the whole universe. On account of his promising invention, Camillo’s contemporaries called him ‘the divine’. For others, like Erasmus or the Parisian scholars, he was just a ‘quack’, but also this only shows that his reception was as strong as is the case with the computer gurus of our days. Still, Camillo was forgotten immediately after his death. No trace is left of his spectacular databank - except a short treatise which he dictated on his deathbed and which was formulated in the future tense: ‘L’Idea del Theatro’ (1550). ...
The phylogenetic relationships of the species of Padunielia are analyzed based on characters of larvae, pupae, and adults (mainly male genitalia). The genus is monophyletic and most closely related to Psychomyia, and Metalype in the subfamily Psychomyiinae. Nine species groups are suggested. Eight species, including six new to science, are reported from the People's Republic of China for the first time.
The Nearctic members of the genus Oetophorus Foerster are revised. There are four species, 0. pleuralis (Cresson), and 0. obscurus, O. clavatus, and O. maculatus, new species. The name Oetophorus stretchii (Cresson) is placed in synonymy with the name Oetophol'us pleuralis (Cresson). Relationships of the genus with others in the tribe Perilissini and relationships of the species included in the genus are briefly discussed.
This paper proposes a new sound rule for Proto-Slavic, according to which *g (from PIE *g, *gw, *gh, and *gwh) was lost before *m. This development was posterior to Winter’s law and the merger of voiced and aspirated stop in Slavic. The operation of the rule is illustrated by new etymologies of four Slavic words: *ama, *jama ‘hole, pit’, *těmę ‘sinciput’, *mąžь ‘husband, man’, and *remy ‘leather belt’.
This monograph describes the overall language situation in Luxembourg, a highly multilingual country in Western Europe, from a language policy and planning perspective. The first part discusses the social and historical contexts, including major societal changes and uncertainties about the future, which are bound up with Europeanisation and the accelerated processes of globalisation. It also deconstructs the notions of Luxembourgish as a 'minority language' and French as the 'language of prestige', and describes a two-pronged language ideology that allows for either monolingual identification with Luxembourgish or trilingual identification with the languages recognised by the language law of 1984 (Luxembourgish / German / French). The second part discusses the trilingual school-system, a system in which large numbers of romanophone students are forced to go through a German-language literacy programme. The third part provides an overview of language spread in the areas of the media and literary writing. The fourth part examines language purism and tensions concerning the standardisation of Luxembourgish, as well as the debates about language requirements for citizenship. The discussion shows how language policy scholarship needs to be approached from a multidimensional perspective, that is, by taking into account dynamics on the global, regional and local levels in addition to those at the state level.
Live fast, Love Hard, Die Young – es scheint fast so, als könnte dieses auf das Leben Jimi Hendrix' sicherlich zutreffende Leitmotiv auch dem vorliegenden Film metaphorisch vorangestellt werden. Denn der in zwei Abschnitte unterteilte Film erzählt in den ersten 22 Minuten in Interviewausschnitten aus Gesprächen mit diversen Zeitgenossen und ehemaligen Bandmitgliedern der Jimi Hendrix Experience (Mitch Mitchell und Noel Redding) den musikalischen Werdegang Hendrix’ bis zu seinem legendären Auftritt auf dem Monterey Pop Festival 1967 in rasanter Geschwindigkeit. Nur kurzer Stücke zu verschiedenen Themen werden hintereinandergeschnitten. Dabei erkennt man erst allmählich, dass die chronologische Reihenfolge der Themen auf das Festival hin zielt. Der zweite und längere Abschnitt des Films zeigt den gesamten Auftritt von Jimi Hendrix auf dem Monterey-Festival.
Articulatory token-to-token variability not only depends on linguistic aspects like the phoneme inventory of a given language but also on speaker specific morphological and motor constraints. As has been noted previously (Perkell (1997), Mooshammer et al. (2004)) , speakers with coronally high "domeshaped" palates exhibit more articulatory variability than speakers with coronally low "flat" palates. One explanation for that is based on perception oriented control by the speaker. The influence of articulatory variation on the cross sectional area and consequently on the acoustics should be greater for flat palates than for domeshaped ones. This should force speakers with flat palates to place their tongue very precisely whereas speakers with domeshaped palates might tolerate a greater variability. A second explanation could be a greater amount of lateral linguo-palatal contact for flat palates holding the tongue in position. In this study both hypotheses were tested.
Human impacts on the landscape have increased the penalties for Black-tailed Godwits laying their eggs too late, especially in the very intensive agricultural landscapes of The Netherlands. Thus, godwits have experienced a dramatic change of their fitness landscape, because the advance in mowing date made late clutches worthless destroying either eggs or chicks. To determine the driving forces of the recent population decline we study the individual variation in timing of breeding with respect to reproductive success in a population unaffected by mowing. Our results show that even in a low intensity agricultural area it is very important for godwits to breed early in the season.
Material of the domestic fowl of appropriate ages, ranging from twelve hours' incubation to the adult bird, was prepared for the purpose of studying the production and development of the germ cells. The primordial germ cells arise in the extra-embryonic region anterior to the head fold in the region of the zone of junction during the primitive-streak stage. These germ cells migrate, through the blood stream, to the region of the future gonad, where they develop into the definitive germ plasm. There is no widespread degeneration of the primordial germ cells after their arrival in the gonadal region, nor is there any widespread transformation of somatic cells into definitive germ cells.
Dass der britische Musikmanager Malcolm McLaren als Schöpfer der Sex Pistols gilt, einer der ersten Punk-Rock-Bands der Musikgeschichte, hängt wohl maßgeblich mit seiner übertrieben egozentrischen Selbstinszenierung zusammen. Sie findet ihren Höhepunkt in dem von McLaren angestoßenen Film THE GREAT ROCK‘N‘ROLL SWINDLE, der nicht die Band, sondern den Manager in den Mittelpunkt stellt. McLaren hatte Jahre zuvor schon einmal versucht, mit dem für provokante Low-Budget-Produktionen bekannten amerikanischen Regisseur Russ Meyer einen Film mit Musik der Sex Pistols zu drehen; der Film WHO KILLED BAMBI? scheiterte aber, als die Produktionsfirma 20th Century Fox Gelder verwehrte.
Die in THE FILTH AND THE FURY geschilderten Ereignisse um die Sex Pistols und die Punkszene im London der späten 1970er Jahre gehören mittlerweile zu den Standards der Popgeschichte – von ihrer Performance der Nummer 1-Single God Save the Queen (The Fascist Regime) auf einem Boot auf der Themse parallel zu den pompösen Feierlichkeiten des Krönungsjubiläum 1977, bis hin zum Tod der „No Future“-Ikone Sid Vicious und seiner Freundin Nancy Spungen in New York. Der Poptheoretiker Greil Marcus hat in seinem Buch Lipstick Traces detailliert die Verbindungen zwischen Punk und avantgardistischer Aktionskunst erläutert, und Jon Savage verfasste mit England´s Dreaming eine epische soziokulturelle Chronologie der Szene.
The purpose of this study of early social-cognitive development was to assess the very young child's behaviorally expressed knowledge of people's visual-attentional acts and abilities. Boys and girls (N = 60) 1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, and 3 years of age were tested in their homes with their mothers' help. Three sorts of tasks were used: 1. Percept production. The child's task was to produce a visual percept in the other. Examples include pointing to objects ("productive pointing") and a wide variety of object-showing problems. 2. Percept deprivation. The opposite, exemplified by a variety of object-hiding problems. 3. Percept diagnosis. The child's task was to determine what the other was already visually attending to, either by looking where his or her finger was pointed ("receptive pointing") or where his eyes were directed. It was found that the majority of l-year-olds produced and comprehended pointing, and would sometimes hold out a toy to show it, but did little else. The 3-year-olds were at ceiling on virtually all tasks. At 1 1/2 years, children usually showed a picture by holding it flat so that both they and the other could see it. From 2 on, they usually turned it toward the other in the adult fashion. Very few children of any age showed egocentrically - i.e., orienting the picture so only they could see it. By age 2, the children solved what were presumably novel showing problems for them: e.g., successfully showing to another a picture pasted on the inside bottom of a hollow cube. Hiding ability emerged later than showing ability but seemed well established by age 3. The role of the other's eyes in seeing appeared to be quite well understood at least by age 2-2 1/2. As examples, children of this age took the other's hands away from her or his eyes before trying to show her something, and could usually tell where she was looking from her eye orientation alone. These age trends presumably reflect important developments in the area of social interaction and communication, as well as with respect to cognition about percepts.
Dr. Nonfin (1931) in his book on the "Biology of the Amphibia", while discussing the inter-relationships of Pelobatidae, divides the family into Megophrynae, Pelobatinae and Sooglossinao und points out that among these three "the most primitive genus in the sub-family is the wide spread Megopluys or Megalophrys (including Leptobrachium)". ...
The concert for Bangladesh
(2010)
Hungersnöte, unzählige Millionen Kriegsopfer, Massenobdachlosigkeit und Flüchtlingswellen in zweistelliger Millionenhöhe - so präsentierten sich 1971 die Folgen des Krieges in Bangladesch. Weltweit berichtete die Presse von den dramatischen Elendszuständen. Eine Fülle von Hilfsorganisationen rief die Bevölkerung der Industriestaaten zur Hilfe auf. In diesem Kontext entstand auch ein Impuls, der den Gestus innergesellschaftlicher Opposition und eines allgemeinen Protestes gegen die moralischen und politischen Handlungsideale der westlichen Gesellschaften, der so typisch für die Rockmusik der späten 1960er und frühen 1970er zu sein schien, mit der Zuwendung zu den Zuständen in den Ländern der Dritten Welt verband. Der in den 1970ern so wichtige Nord-Süd-Konflikt war in der Rockmusikkultur angekommen. Das Concert for Bangladesh ging als erstes großes Wohltätigkeitskonzert in die Popgeschichte ein, wurde zum Vorbild vieler weiterer Großveranstaltungen (darunter die beiden Mammutveranstaltungen Live Aid, 1985, und Live 8, 2005). Angeleitet von dem Wunsch, die Situation der Bangladeschflüchtlinge zu verbessern, wandte sich der indische Musiker Radi Shankar an seinen Freund, den Ex-Beatle George Harrison. Dieser komponierte daraufhin die Benefiz-Single Bangla Desh und organisierte gemeinsam mit Shankar innerhalb von fünf Wochen zwei Konzerte, deren Erlöse der Flüchtlingshilfe zugute kommen sollten. Die beiden Konzerte, die am Mittag und Abend des 1. August 1971 im New Yorker Madison Square Garden vor insgesamt 40.000 Zuschauern stattfanden, wurden sowohl für ein Livealbum mitgeschnitten als auch gefilmt. Der Konzertfilm, der im Folgejahr erschien, enthielt im Gegensatz zu dem Album nicht die gesamte Setlist der Konzerte, dokumentiert dafür aber in einigen Szenen Phasen der Vorbereitung der beiden Shows.
The family Cimicidae consists of 6 subfamilies, 23 genera, and 91 species. Nineteen new species names, one new species, and one new genus have been proposed since the monograph by Usinger was published in 1966. A checklist includes the world cimicid fauna with sinonymy. A selected bibliography is concerned with cimicids as potential disease vectors; the bibliography is a comprehensive treatment of the cimicid literature of the Americas and islands of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
New data on the distribution were the reported: Buksendya river (153º15’E, 59º12’N), Yama valley (152º59’E, 60º00’N) and Nayakhan river (158º15’E, 62º33’N), mostly single birds in late summer, autumn or early winter. Resident breeding pairs regularly occur only in the Chelomdzha and further to the west – in Inya and Ulbeya valleys, and upper heads of the Kava valley (Fig. 1). New observations in the Inya valley (July-August 1999) and in the Chelomdzha valley (July 2003) have proved that the Blakiston’s Fish Owl dwells in lush flood-plain woods along the middle and lower streams of both of these valleys. Currently, the Blakiston’s Fish Owl steadily occurs within the limits of Kava-Chelomdza forestry of the Magadansky State Reserve (Tarkhov & Potapov 1986), and, most likely, the Chelomdzha valley forms currently the north-eastern limit of the species range. In the Chelomdzha valley the regular duet singing of the Blakiston’s Fish Owl begins from early February. Usually the birds display in the evenings, 20-40 min after sunset. The longevity of evening vocalizations increases from 3-5 min in first week of February to 30-50 min in mid-March. The intervals between strophes vary from 14-55 s, 27 s on average (n = 48). The chicks hatched between 2nd and 5th of May. Daytime hours the parents spend nearby the nest in the crowns of larches. During intense chick’s growth the parents visit the nest 4-5 times in a night. Search for food and hunting takes from 40-60 min. According to photo documents, the parents feed the chicks with sculpins and graylings (18–30 cm in length). The parents spend midnight hours nearby the nest. Becoming 50 days old the chicks leave the nest and roams around supervised by the parents.
The avifauna of the island of Flores and its satellite islands from Komodo to Alor is reviewed, combining historical data with recent observations. Recent surveys have added substantially to the data base, especially of the resident forest species, and endangered and endemic taxa, as well as adding a number of migrant and maritime species to the island list. Of particular interest are the rare forest endemics Wallace's Hanging-parrot Loriculus flosculus, the almost unknown Flores Scopsowl Otus alfredi, Flores Monarch Monarcha sacerdotum and Flores Crow Corvus florensis. An appeal is made for further surveys over the eastern part of the island and the eastern island chain.
The birds of Billiton Island
(1937)
A population of wild Rattus rattus living in the roofs of the laboratory buildings was studied by supplying food every evening and watching the behaviour of the animals at the feeding place. Some observations were also made on caged animals. The rats were predominantly of the black rattus variety but white-bellied greys appeared now and then. In breeding tests the grey colour behaved as though determined by a single recessive gene. The study covered two periods of approximately 9 months each, separated by an interval of 3 months during which a reduced quantity of food was provided and the rat population underwent a major decline. During the two periods of richer feeding the population first increased and then stabilized at a level where the animals remained in good condition and there was no starvation. In the first 9-month period, stabilization was achieved by emigration of young adults who colonized neighbouring buildings. Towards the end of the second period, stabilization was achieved by limitation of breeding. The rats accepted a wide variety of foods, including meat, and a number of instances of predation were seen. Small vertebrates as well as insects were killed and eaten. Small pieces of food were usually eaten in situ but large bits were taken up to the nests in the roof. Such differential treatment in relation to size may be a factor of some importance in the evolution of hoarding. The rats visiting the feeding place formed a unit with a definite social structure. A single dominant male and never more than one, was always present and in certain circumstances a linear male hierarchy was formed. There were usually two or three mutually tolerant top ranking females who were subordinate to the top male but dominant to all other members of the group. Within the group attacks were directed downwards in the social scale. An attacked subordinate either fled or appeased and serious fights therefore did not develop. The most essential component of the appease. ment appeared to be a mouth to mouth contact which may be derived from the infantile pattern of 'mouth suckling'. Appeasement permitted superior rats to maintain their status without the necessity of carrying attacks on subordinates to the point where actual hurt was inflicted. A group territory round the feeding place was defended against interlopers. Both sexes took part in chasing out intruders but since males showed inhibition in attacking females, the exclusion of strange females was due principally to the activities of the home females. The point at which pursuit of an intruder stopped was regarded as the territorial boundary. This was also the limit beyond which a group member would not allow himself to be chased but it was not a prison wall. When agonistic tendencies were not aroused the animals no longer always I turned back at the boundary and foraging beyond its limits allowed them to become familiar with an area larger than the territory. Although intruders were normally driven out, it was occasionally possible for a particularly determined animal of either sex to force its way in and ultimately become a member of the group. The patterns of behaviour seen are described, particularly those concerned with hostile encounters and with mating. Scent marking with urine drip trails was not seen but adults of both sexes marked by rubbing the cheeks and ventral surface on branches. The circumstances in which tooth gnashing was heard suggest that this behaviour is not a form of threat but a response to unfamiliar auditory or visual stimuli. There was some evidence that it functioned as an alarm signal within the group. Pilo-erection and a gait or posture with the hind legs much extended ('stegosauring') are considered to function as threats. Pilo-erection occurred in situations where there was little to suggest conflict and is considered to represent a form of threat which has undergone emancipation. Various forms of displacement and ambivalent behaviour were seen. Rapid vibration of the tail occurred in thwarting situations, either during mating or when a defeated opponent suddenly vanished. There was no evidence that it acted as a signal. The common form of amicable behaviour was social grooming. Another amicable action was sitting together with the bodies in contact. Animals reared in cages remained shy and wary and even hand reared young developed the usual alarm responses to movement and noises. Females had their first litters at ages of 3 to 5 months. For first litters gestation periods were 21 to 22 days but in females that were simultaneously lactating they ranged from 23 to 29 days. Eight was the commonest litter number and ten the highest recorded. At birth the tail is very much shorter than the body but has outstripped it by the time the youngster emerges from the nest. This was found to be the result of a period of extremely rapid tail growth immediately preceding emergence. In Rattus norvegicus the peak in tail growth rate was found to be later and less striking. The difference is interpreted as related to the importance of the tail in climbing in the more arboreal R. rattus. During the second week of life an edge response (retreat from a declivity) and a clinging response made their appearance: these have the function of preventing accidental falls from a nest situated above ground level. Mouth suckling was seen only during a period of a few days towards the end of lactation. Play developed within a few days of emergence from the nest: locomotor and fighting play were the common types. Older animals occasionally joined in play with the young. In problem solving tests, first solutions were not insightful but once a solution had been found, the successful technique was at once adopted and subsequently perfected. There was no evidence of learning by imitation but the rats did learn from each other's behaviour that food could be obtained at a certain location and thus the solution of a problem by one rat accelerated its independent solution by others. The reasons for the differences between the behaviour of the free living population and the caged animals studied by other authors are discussed.
Background: The interferon-inducible immunity-related GTPases (IRG proteins/p47 GTPases) are a distinctive family of GTPases that function as powerful cell-autonomous resistance factors. The IRG protein, Irga6 (IIGP1), participates in the disruption of the vacuolar membrane surrounding the intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, through which it communicates with its cellular hosts. Some aspects of the protein's behaviour have suggested a dynamin-like molecular mode of action, in that the energy released by GTP hydrolysis is transduced into mechanical work that results in deformation and ultimately rupture of the vacuolar membrane. Results: Irga6 forms GTP-dependent oligomers in vitro and thereby activates hydrolysis of the GTP substrate. In this study we define the catalytic G-domain interface by mutagenesis and present a structural model, of how GTP hydrolysis is activated in Irga6 complexes, based on the substrate-twinning reaction mechanism of the signal recognition particle (SRP) and its receptor (SRalpha). In conformity with this model, we show that the bound nucleotide is part of the catalytic interface and that the 3'hydroxyl of the GTP ribose bound to each subunit is essential for trans-activation of hydrolysis of the GTP bound to the other subunit. We show that both positive and negative regulatory interactions between IRG proteins occur via the catalytic interface. Furthermore, mutations that disrupt the catalytic interface also prevent Irga6 from accumulating on the parasitophorous vacuole membrane of T. gondii, showing that GTP-dependent Irga6 activation is an essential component of the resistance mechanism. Conclusions: The catalytic interface of Irga6 defined in the present experiments can probably be used as a paradigm for the nucleotide-dependent interactions of all members of the large family of IRG GTPases, both activating and regulatory. Understanding the activation mechanism of Irga6 will help to explain the mechanism by which IRG proteins exercise their resistance function. We find no support from sequence or G-domain structure for the idea that IRG proteins and the SRP GTPases have a common phylogenetic origin. It therefore seems probable, if surprising, that the substrate-assisted catalytic mechanism has been independently evolved in the two protein families.
Das von Klaus Scherpe geleitete DFG-Projekt zur Kulturgeschichte des Fremden in der deutschen Kolonialzeit hat neben literarischen auch medizinhistorische und ethnologische Texte in den Blick genommen, soweit sie zeittypische Wahrnehmungsmuster und Darstellungstechniken markierten. Ein anschauliches Beispiel dafür sind die Expeditionsberichte des frühen Leo Frobenius. Über eine ideologiekritische Perspektive hinaus - die dem Rassisten allerdings angemessen bleibt - sind die rhetorischen und medialen Mittel zu erkunden, mit denen der bekannteste Vertreter der wilhelminischen Völkerkunde Bilder vom schwarzen Menschen lancierte. Von Interesse ist desweiteren, wie sich das so triviale wie publikumswirksame Konzept des Ethnologen als Unterhaltungsliteraten zum wissenschaftlichen Ansatz verhielt (Kulturkreis-Lehre) und wie zu "Heart of Darkness", einer topographisch benachbarten, da ebenfalls am Kongo angesiedelten Erzählung, die freilich zur Weltliteratur zählt.
"Von all dem, was ich über Kunst gesagt habe, fand ich nur spannend, was sich auf Warhol, Pop-Art und den Hyperrealismus bezog", eröffnet Jean Baudrillard 1990 ein Gespräch mit Françoise Gaillard. Das Verhältnis von Baudrillards Philosophie zur Kunst stand nun, anlässlich seines 75. Geburtstags, auf der Karlsruher ZKM-Tagung "Baudrillard und die Künste" (16.-18.7.2004) erneut auf dem Prüfstand. Zwanzig internationale Redner beschäftigten sich mit seinen Theorien, seinen Fotografien und der immer noch von Missverständnissen geprägten Baudrillard-Rezeption.
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit sind die vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg auf dem Gelände des Flottenkastells Alteburg in Köln-Marienburg gefundenen gestempelten Sigillaten, die im Römisch-Germanischen Museum (vormals Museum Wallraf-Richartz) in Köln inventansiert wurden. Obwohl das Fundmaterial durch einen Bombenangriff im Zweiten Weltkrieg stark in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wurde, sind von den 590 in den Inventarbüchern verzeichneten Töpferstempeln heute noch 245 erhalten. Weitere 165 Inventarbucheinträge sowie sieben durch Bleistiftzeichnungen erhaltene Stempelfaksimiles erlauben sichere Rückschlüsse auf Lesung sowie gegebenenfalls Herkunft und Datierung der heute verschollenen Stücke. Bedingt durch die Grabungsmethoden im 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhundert und aufgrund der Kriegsschäden im Bereich der Grabungsdokumentation können die Stempel heute in der Regel weder einzelnen Befunden noch Phasen zugeordnet werden, sondern müssen als Gesamtheit betrachtet werden. Trotz der folglich sehr eingeschränkten Auswertungsmöglichkeiten in Bezug auf die Geschichte des Flottenkastells dürfen die Stempel der Altgrabungen allein schon auf grund ihrer Menge nicht vernachlässigt werden: Neben den 1906 von Hagen veröffentlichten 62 Stempeln sind weitere 379 Stücke aus neueren Grabungen bekannt, so daß die hier vorgelegten 417 verwertbaren Stempel bzw. Inventarbucheinträge der Altgrabungen fast die Hälfte des bekannten Materials stellen. Ein Hauptanliegen der Arbeit ist die Darstellung, Töpferzuordnung, Herkunftsbestimmung und vor allem die möglichst gen aue zeitliche Einordnung der Sigillatastempel, die in erster Linie auf dem Vergleich mit Parallelfunden an datierten Fundplätzen beruht. Darüber hinaus sollen bei einer Auswertung des Gesamtmaterials Aussagen zur zeitlichen Verteilung der gestempelten Sigillata, zu den Anteilen verschiedener Produktionszentren und zur Häufigkeit einzelner Töpfer getroffen werden. Ein Vergleich mit der gestempelten glatten Sigillata weiterer Militärstarionen in Niedergermanien (Asciburgium, Neuss, Vechten) sollldären, ob die Zusammensetzung des Stempelmaterials den Spektren anderer vergleichbarer Fundplätze entspricht.
Stečaj je interdisciplinarno područje na kojemu se susreću prije svega ekonomisti i pravnici, odnosno u širemu smislu ekonomski i pravni sustavi razmišljanja i izražavanja. Štoviše, Wood upravo stečajni zakon smatra konačnim testom je li pravosuđe uopće pravedno. U ovome se radu analiziraju nesuglasice oko temeljnih naziva koji se upotrebljavaju u stečajnome pravu. Te je nazive potrebno analizirati, razjasniti, i predložiti rješenje kako bi postigli suglasje oko naziva koji se ne bi redefinirali pri svakoj izmjeni Stečajnog zakona. U trenutku kad se brojni zakoni izmjenjuju zbog usklađivanja s propisima Europske unije, a ti zakoni definiraju naše društvo i odnose, važno je razlučiti pojmove u stečajnome postupku. Budući da je hrvatski Stečajni zakon 1990-ih “prepisan” iz njemačkog izvornika, učinjen je ne samo legislativni već i kulturni i jezični prijenos. Usmjerenost na njemački uzor dovela je do toga da su uz pravna rješenja nekritički prevedeni i temeljni nazivi stečajnoga postupka te je zaboravljeno kako valja pozitivno diskriminirati materinski jezik i, kad god je to moguće, koristiti se uobičajenim hrvatskim riječima, osobito nazivima. U radu se prikazuje sukob temeljnih naziva stečajnog postupka i daju argumenti za uporabu osnovne leksičke jedinice na ovom području – naziva stečaj.

Wo hat der Bengel nur das Wort wieder aufgeschnappt? Wenn er schon seine Programmierübungen für den Deutschunterricht nicht machen will, dann soll er doch 'Beyond Dark Castle' spielen oder sich durch Datennetze hacken, wie jeder anständige Junge in seinem Alter. Aber Sohnemann muß natürlich wieder aus der Reihe tanzen! Gedichte lesen! Jetzt haben wir die Bescherung: "Papa, was sind denn eigentlich 'Wipfel'?" ...
Die Reihe soll zukünftig in unregelmäßiger Folge über Fortschritte in der taxonomischen Forschung und über nomenklatorische Änderungen informieren, sofern Farn- und Samenpflanzen der deutschen Flora betroffen sind. Sie knüpft an die ähnlich strukturierten "Literaturberichte. Floristik und Systematik" in der Zeitschrift "Botanik und Naturschutz in Hessen" an, die von Heft 1 (1987) bis zu Heft 17 (2004) erschienen sind.
The following changes in nomenclature of some species of Amblyeems Thunberg, 1815, are proposed: A) Elevated to new taxonomic status- A. insuturatus (pic, 1902) from (Spennophagus subflavidus var.insuturatus); A. luteolineatus (pic, 1929) from (Spennophagus luteonotatus var .luteolineatus);A. paulonotatus (pic, 1906) from (Spennophagus luteonotatus var.paulonotatus). B) New synonymy-A. dispar(Sharp, 1885)(=Spermophagus longissimus Pic, 1902; =S. earyoborifonnis Pic, 1910; =S. guyanensis Pic, 1917; S.pieeosuturalis Pic, 1927; =S. earaeasensis Pic, 1954); A. gounellei (pic. 1902)(=S. eurtus Pic, 1911; =S. basipennis Pic, 1936); A. insuturatus (pic, 1902)(=A. woleotti Kingsolver, 1970;A.jatayensis (Pic, 1902)(=S.jatayensis var. bieolorieeps Pic, 1955; =S.jatayensis var. hahnelli Pic, 1955; A. IIwltimaculatus (pic, 1902)( =S. minasensis Pic, 1918); A. perfectus (Sharp, 1885)(=S. maeulatopygus Pic, 1927); A. reticulatus (Jekel, 1855)(=S. rufotestaeeus Pic, 1912);A.luteolineatus (pic, 1929)(=S. multisignatus Pic, 1954). C). Lectotype/s and paralectotype/s are designated for: S. luteonotatus Pic, 1902; S. multimaeulatus Pic, 1902; S. maeulatopygus Pic, 1927; S. subflavidus Pic, 1902; S. trisignatus Sharp, 1885; S.jatayensis Pic, 1902; S. longissimus Pic, 1902; S. earyoborifonnis Pic, 1910; S. dispar Sharp, 1885; S. subflavidusvar. insuturatus Pic, 1902. For all species listed in this paper, we provide a bibliography, label data on type material, sex of types and their repository.
In drei Fließgewässern der Stadt Meile im südöstlichen Landkreis Osnabrück wurden bei Untersuchungen in den Jahren 1993 und 1994 insgesamt 20 Süßwassermolluskenarten festgestellt. Eine Gesamtartenliste mit Angaben zur Häufigkeit der einzelnen Arten wird vorgelegt. Die Ergebnisse werden mit ähnlichen Untersuchungen verglichen und die Erfassungsmethodik wird diskutiert. Die betrachteten Gewässerabschnitte weisen eine weitgehend ähnliche Artenzusammensetzung mit verschmutzungstoleranten Organismen auf. Die regelmäßigen Gewässerunterhaltungsmaßnahmen sowie die ungenügende Wasserqualität beeinträchtigen die Lebensräume der Süßwassermollusken.
Conclusions Le Colpomenia simlosa que les auteurs américains appellent typica ne mérite pas ce nom, car il ne correspond pas à la plante méditerranéenne. La plante récemment immigrée sur les côtes atlantiques d' Europe, ou var. peregrina Nob., diffère du type méditerranéen par son thalle moins sinueux, pIns mince et plus souple, par ses sores moins limités, largement étendus, ses sporanges moins hauts; les cryptes pilifères y naissent par un processus différent de celui que MITCHELL a décrit. Elle paraît voisine de celle que les auteurs américains appellent var. typica; elle n'est vraisemblahlement pas originaire cles mers plus chaudes que les nôtres et il est possible qu'elle soit originaire de la côte pacifique de l'Amérique septentrionale; ceci nous laisse mieux comprendre sa naturalisation chez nous. Les zoospores des sporanges pluriloculaires (les seuls connus) du Colpomenia de la Méditerranée, et de sa variété peregrina, germent sans copulation. Elles fournissent un protonéma monosiphonié, simple ou ramifié qui, par le cloisonnement localisé de certaines cellules, engendre un glomérule d'abord mûriforme; en uniformisant sa surface, celui-ci devient vite un Colpomenia d'abord massif. Un même protonéma produit un seul, ou plusieurs, ou de nombreux Colpomenia. Les jeunes individus ainsi obtenus en culture n'ont. pu être conservés assez longtemps pour fructifier. Mais de vieux protonémas de la var. peregrina produisirent des sporanges pluriloculaires (interpétés ici comme des amorces gleglomérules aussitôt évoluées en sporanges) dont les zoospores fournirent des protonémas très ramifiés de seconde génération. Bien que restés en culture durant plusieurs mois, ces derniers n'ont produit ni glomérules ni sporanges; cette longue stérilité pourrait expliquer, au moins en partie, les irrégularités de la présence du Colpomenia dans la nature. Si l'on s'en rapporte aux dessins de KUCKUCK, publiés par OLTMANNS, les zoospores du Phyllitis et du Scytosiphon fournissent un protonéma qui rappelle celui du Colpomenia ; ceci confirme l'interprétation de BORNET, de FALKENBERG et de KJELLMAN qui rapprochaient ces trois genres dans un même groupe.
