This project come out from our need to harness voices in Africa and Latin America, giving these voices an opportunity to converse, argue, synthesize, agree, and share ideas on the craft of writing, on life, on being and on thinking for the benefit of all. It was also an opportunity to create literary friendships and contacts between these two great regions. Generally, Latin America and Africa still have a lot of stories to share among themselves and with the rest of the world. There are still very strong untapped storytelling traditions in these continents. The stories in this volume are selected from an amazing range of entries to a call for contributions to an anthology on experimentation. It is hoped this robust selection will serve a wide variety of tastes in both Spanish and English, and that the book will open dialogue and the sharing of ideas between the two regions and the whole world. This is an invaluable contribution on many fronts.
In 2005, a United Nations study reported that half of the world's languages (estimated at 6,000) would disappear by the end of this century. A third of these endangered languages are in Africa where, according to the same study, nearly 250 languages have disappeared in the last century. Language is the heart, identity, storage system for the collective and unique memory and experience of every culture, people, including their natural habitat. Loss of language means loss of the ability to retain and pass on not just a belief system but also invaluable knowledge to future generations. This English-Lekongho/Lekongho-English Dictionary is a modest first attempt to minimize the envisaged sad phenomenon of language loss. Nkongho-Mbo people speak Lekongho, one of the five variants of the Mbo language of the Mbo ethnic group of Cameroon, with their ancestral home in the Kupe Muanenguba Administrative Area of the South-west Region. With this book, the authors' fervent hope is that there will no longer surface any justification to continue to refrain from speaking Lekongho on a daily basis. This effort will help to regionalize, nationalize and internationalize the Lekongho language since Nkongho people are spread all over the country, Africa and the world.
Der Architekt, Hochschullehrer, Juror und Kritiker Max Bächer traf 1973 auf Albert Speer, den Architekten, NS-Rüstungsminister und verurteilten Kriegsverbrecher. Das bisher unveröffentlichte Protokoll dieser Begegnung ist für Frederike Lausch der Ausgangspunkt, Max Bächers intensive Beschäftigung mit der Architektur im Faschismus zu analysieren. Bächer hielt ab 1971 mehrere Vorträge zur Architektur der NS-Zeit, in denen er auch vor den Gefahren gegenwärtiger faschistischer Tendenzen warnte. Das Gespräch mit Albert Speer mündete in eine scharf formulierte Abrechnung, nachdem dieser 1978 seine Entwürfe ohne Selbstkritik als Bildband veröffentlicht hatte. Als Speers Buch Mitte der 1980er Jahre erneut debattiert wird, fordert Bächer eine ideologiefreie Diskussionskultur ein.
Am Fachbereich Medizin und dem Klinikum der Johann Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität Frankfurt existierten bereits seit 2002 mehrere einzelne medizindidaktische Kurse. Diese Aktivitäten wurden 2011 strukturiert, ein umfassendes Kursangebot, das das breite Spektrum an Themen rund um die Lehre abdeckt, wurde aufgebaut und unter dem Dach der Frankfurter Arbeitsstelle für Medizindidaktik (FAM) am Fachbereich institutionalisiert. Folgende Faktoren waren für die erfolgreiche Umsetzung ausschlaggebend: vorhandene Programme in anderen Bundesländern (v.a. Baden-Württemberg, Nordrhein-Westfalen) mit entsprechenden Vorgaben, die Unterstützung der Studiendekane, die Verankerung der Teilnahme an medizindidaktischen Kursen in der Habilitationsordnung sowie eine kritische Masse von an der Lehre interessierten Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern. Kernelemente des Angebots sind ein Basiskurs für alle neu eingestellten wissenschaftlichen Angestellten mit Lehrverpflichtung und ein modularer Aufbau des Programms, der individuellen Präferenzen bzw. Erfordernissen entgegen kommt. Gleichwohl die Teilnahme am Kursprogramm überwiegend verpflichtend erfolgt, zeigt sich eine hohe Zufriedenheit und ein nachhaltiger Wissenszuwachs bei den Kursteilnehmerinnen und Kursteilnehmern.
Objective: Due to the prohibition of face-to-face courses during the Corona pandemic, the seminar "Written Examinations" of the Frankfurter Arbeitsstelle für Medizindidaktik (FAM) was converted into an asynchronous online seminar. This pilot project investigated how such a format is accepted and evaluated by the participants. Methodology: A forum-based online format with group and individual tasks was chosen, which was didactically designed according to the problem-oriented design by Reinmann and Mandl. Results: The seminar was attended by 14 people, 13 of whom took part in the evaluation. The overall evaluation was, with one exception, a grade of 2 (and better). The three items "practical relevance", "subjective learning success" and the question of recommendation also received very high approval ratings. The weekly workload reported by the participants was very heterogeneous (mean=2.4 hours; SD=1.1). For some participants, the use of the learning platform was not intuitive and group collaboration was somewhat faltering.Conclusion: The experiences made show that courses on medical didactics can be implemented online and are gladly accepted by the participants. Based on the experience gained, online seminars or blended learning formats will certainly continue to be part of the FAM course program in the future.
Electric stimulation of the auditory nerve via cochlear implants has made the treatment of sensory deafness possible. Advanced signal processing and stimulation paradigms have led to continuously improved results in speech understanding. Consequently, indication criteria have been extended to patients with profound and severe-to-profound hearing loss and limited speech understanding with conventional acoustic amplification.
Outside this group, a considerable number of patients presents with rather wellpreserved, low frequency hearing of 30-60 dB up to 1 kHz, but severe loss in the mid to high frequency range of more than 60-70 dB. Monosyllabic word scores in these patients do not generally exceed 35%, due to missing consonant information. But, even increasing the audibility of these high frequencies by acoustic amplification still has very limited efficiency for discriminating speech, and therefore, these patients obtain only minor benefit from conventional hearing aids. On the other hand, standard cochlear implantation would carry a high risk of causing complete hearing loss. This situation has led to considering a combination of both modes of stimulation for these patients who are on the borderline between hearing aids and cochlear implant.
In our present model, the surviving low frequency region of the cochlea could still be stimulated acoustically-combined with additional electrical stimulation of the impaired mid and high frequency region of the cochlea.
Several questions still have to be answered with regard to combined electric and acoustic stimulation (EAS). The possible interaction of electric and acoustic stimuli on the different levels off the auditory system is a major issue. Animal experiments clearly demonstrate that tuning properties of auditory neurons, in response to acute acoustic stimulation, are essentially preserved in the presence of electric stimulation even at high levels of electric stimulation, and that chronic electric stimulation of tie intact inner ear does not have a significant effect on the compound action potentials (CAP) thresholds or inner ear function.
In a previous report, we were able to show that this combined F.A.S of the auditory system is possible in humans, and that it has a synergistic effect on speech understanding. Further major issues regard the surgical feasibility and reproducibility of cochlear implantation with the preservation of residual hearing.
Encouraged by our findings, a clinical study was initiated on the application of EAS. So far, seven adults have been included in this study. In addition, one child has been implanted outside the study.

This book explores the emergent character of social orders in Sudan and South Sudan. It provides vivid insights into multitudes of ordering practices and their complex negotiation. Recurring patterns of exclusion and ongoing struggles to reconfigure disadvantaged positions are investigated as are shifting borders, changing alliances and relationships with land and language. The book takes a careful and close look at institutional arrangements that shape everyday life in the Sudans, probing how social forms have persisted or changed. It proposes reading the post-colonial history of the Sudans as a continuous struggle to find institutional orders valid for all citizens. The separation of Sudan and South Sudan in 2011 has not solved this dilemma. Exclusionary and exploitative practices endure and inhibit the rule of law, distributive justice, political participation and functioning infrastructure. Analyses of historical records and recent ethnographic data assembled here show that orders do not result directly from intended courses of action, planning and orchestration but from contingently emerging patterns. The studies included look beyond dominant elites caught in violent fights for powers, cycles of civil war and fragile peace agreements to explore a broad range of social formations, some of which may have the potential to glue people and things together in peaceful co-existence, while others give way to new violence.
Am 17. Dezember 1893 erscheint in Neapel eine Sonderausgabe der neapolitanischen Zeitschrift "La tavola rotonda", die dem Werk und der Persönlichkeit Gabriele d'Annunzios gewidmet ist. Außer zwei Aufsätzen französischer Rezensenten, die die Beziehung des Autors zur Kultur ihres Landes erörtern, bringt der Band die ziemlich freie Übersetzung des ersten dem italienischen Dichter gewidmeten Aufsatzes Hofmannsthals, der wenige Monate zuvor in der "Frankfurter Zeitung" veröffentlicht worden war.
Das allein würde kaum Aufmerksamkeit erregen, wäre nicht D'Annunzio selbst der Verfasser dieser Übersetzung, wie die im Archiv des Vittoriale erhaltene handschriftliche Kopie des Textes beweist. Der Fund ist umso merkwürdiger, wenn man beachtet, daß die Deutschkenntnisse, über die D'Annunzio verfügte, auf ein reines Schuldeutsch beschränkt waren, und daß er in der Regel französische Übersetzungen den deutschen Originalen vorzog. Es ist deswegen anzunehmen, daß er einen unbekannten Übersetzer um Hilfe gebeten hat, und die Vermutung liegt nahe, daß er sich außerdem persönlich mit Hofmannsthal darüber verständigt hat.
Die Arbeitshypothese, daß die beiden Schriftsteller zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung des deutschen Originaltextes wie auch zum Zeitpunkt der italienischen Fassung, miteinander in Kontakt standen, läßt sich gut begründen: Die erste Begegnung zwischen den Autoren wird allgemein auf das Jahr 1893 datiert, wie aus einem im Sommer 1893 geschriebenen Brief Hofmannsthals an Felix SaIten hervorgeht.
Busfahrt mit Rilke

Gedicht über Rainer Maria Rilke von Luca Buonaguidi
Case description: A patient with a Barrett oesophageal carcinoma and a resection of the oesophagus with gastric pull-up developed swallowing disorders 6 years and 2 months after the operation. Within 1 year and 7 months two recurrences of the tumor at the anastomosis were found and treated with combined chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy respectively. 7 years and 9 months after the operation local tumor masses and destruction were present with no ability to orally drink or eat (full feeding by jejunal PEG tube): quality of life was poor, as saliva and mucus were very viscous (pulling filaments) and could not be swallowed and had to be spat out throughout the day and night resulting in short periods of sleep (awaking from the necessity to spit out). In total the situation was interpreted more as a problem related to a feeling of choking (with food or fluid) in the sense of a functional dysphagia rather than as a swallowing disorder from a structural stenosis.
At that time acetylcysteine (2 times 200 mg per day, given via the PEG tube) and irradiation with water-filtered infrared-A (wIRA), a special form of heat radiation, of the ventral part of the neck and the thorax were added to the therapy. Within 1 day with acetylcysteine saliva and mucus became less viscous. Within 2 days with wIRA (one day with 4 to 5 hours with irradiation with wIRA at home) salivation decreased markedly and quality of life clearly improved: For the first time the patient slept without interruption and without the need for sleep-inducing medication. After 5 days with wIRA the patient could eat his first soft dumpling although drinking of fluids was still not possible. After 2½ weeks with wIRA the patient could eat his first minced schnitzel (escalope).
Following the commencement of wIRA (with typically approximately 90–150 minutes irradiation with wIRA per day) the patient had 8 months with good quality of life with only small amounts of liquid saliva and mucus and without the necessity to spit out. During this period the patient was able to sleep during the night.
Discussion: The main physiological effects of water-filtered infrared-A (wIRA) are: wIRA increases tissue temperature, tissue oxygen partial pressure and tissue perfusion markedly.
The five main clinical effects of wIRA are: wIRA decreases pain, inflammation and exudation/hypersecretion, and promotes infection defense and regeneration, all in a cross-indication manner. Therefore there is a wide range of indications for wIRA.
The effects of wIRA are based on both its thermal effects (relying on transfer of heat energy) and thermic effects (temperature-dependent effects, occurring together with temperature changes) as well as on non-thermal and temperature-independent effects like direct effects on cells, cell structures or cell substances.
Conclusion: Besides in a variety of other indications for wIRA, in cases of swallowing disorders (functional dysphagia) and hypersalivation or hypersecretion of mucus the use of wIRA should be considered as part of the treatment regime for improving a patient’s quality of life.
Vorwort zur Sektion der Gastherausgeberin Andrea Gremels
Background: There is general consensus that the organizational and administrative aspects of academic study programs exert an important influence on teaching and learning. Despite this, no comprehensive framework currently exists to describe the conditions that affect the quality of teaching and learning in medical education. The aim of this paper is to systematically and comprehensively identify these factors to offer academic administrators and decision makers interested in improving teaching a theory-based and, to an extent, empirically founded framework on the basis of which improvements in teaching quality can be identified and implemented.
Method: Primarily, the issue was addressed by combining a theory-driven deductive approach with an experience based, “best evidence” one during the course of two workshops held by the GMA Committee on Personnel and Organizational Development in Academic Teaching (POiL) in Munich (2013) and Frankfurt (2014). Two models describing the conditions relevant to teaching and learning (Euler/Hahn and Rindermann) were critically appraised and synthesized into a new third model. Practical examples of teaching strategies that promote or hinder learning were compiled and added to the categories of this model and, to the extent possible, supported with empirical evidence.
Based on this, a checklist with recommendations for optimizing general academic conditions was formulated.
Results: The Frankfurt Model of conditions to ensure Quality in Teaching and Learning covers six categories: organizational structure/medical school culture, regulatory frameworks, curricular requirements, time constraints, material and personnel resources, and qualification of teaching staff. These categories have been supplemented by the interests, motives and abilities of the actual teachers and students in this particular setting. The categories of this model provide the structure for a checklist in which recommendations for optimizing teaching are given.
Conclusions: The checklist derived from the Frankfurt Model for ensuring quality in teaching and learning can be used for quality assurance and to improve the conditions under which teaching and learning take place in medical schools.
