The Peace of Venice (1177), which ended the nearly twenty-year-long schism between Pope Alexander III and his opponents supported by Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, has long been the subject of controversy among scholars, who focused initially on the concrete provisions of the treaty and more recently on the symbolic acts that affirmed it. This paper uses Alexandrian sources to concentrate on peace itself as the pope's most important political goal: the biography of Alexander written by his cardinal Boso, the frescoes in the Lateran Palace painted after the victory, and other statements made by the pope himself and his supporters reveal his primary goal to be the restoration of unity and peace. This thinking may have been rooted in the Christian ethic of peace as well as in the enduring ideal of cooperation between pope and emperor. It offers an explanation for the pope's willingness to compromise in Venice, often viewed with astonishment today, expressed through the choice of location, the staging, as well as personnel and material decisions. Alexander did not aim to supercede the emperor, nor to achieve victory on specific issues in detail; instead, his goal throughout the schism seems to have been a return to peace and cooperation.

Prepositional form and function in Irish, as in other Modern Celtic languages, are topics of much significance. In Modern Irish numerous simple prepositions not only form compounds with possessive forms of personal pronouns but additionally marshal an impressive array of 'conjugated' forms corresponding to the various grammatical persons. Prepositions also play a crucial role in indicating aspect and are involved in passive/ reflexive roles with the verbal noun. This paper offers an overview of the functioning of a selection of important prepositions in the language and provides examples by way of illustration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Weitzman, M.L. (2014. Can negotiating a uniform carbon price help to internalize the global warming externality? J. Assoc. Environ. Resour. Econ. 1: 29–49) proposed that focusing international climate negotiations on a uniform common commitment (such as a uniform carbon price) is more effective than negotiations on individual commitments (as in the Paris agreement) in achieving ambitious climate action. We put this hypothesis to an experimental test by simulating international negotiations on climate change in collaboration with Model United Nations associations. This novel experimental format combines some of the advantages of lab and field experiments. Our results offer support for Weitzman's hypothesis and indicate that negotiating a common commitment on a uniform carbon price may yield higher emission reductions in the long run and more participation than individual commitments à la Paris.

This article is about differentiating the notion of cultural contact. Not every journey serves the exchange between different cultures when the travellers take on the role of an observer who does not or rarely interact with the observed, but rather projects his or her ideas and needs into them. Looking at the German authors Ernst Jünger and Edzard Schaper, the paper shows how this 'asymmetrical' cultural contact is realised in diaristic writings of both authors and what relationship of 'sentimental' observer and 'naïve' observed becomes visible in the process.

This paper outlines a philosophical approach to emotional abilities. It sets out by charting different dimensions of emotional abilities, emphasising the distinction between the ability of an agent to develop an emotional repertoire and the ability to appropriately adapt specific emotions to specific situations. The paper elucidates this latter ability by focusing on two distinct varieties of it. First, there is a more active, explicit modulation of emotions. Second, there is also an implicit mode of emotion modulation that is habitualised. This implicit mode will then be characterised more precisely by means of a phenomenological differentiation between feeling and emotion and by means of the concept of an affective position-taking (Stellungnahme) towards one's own bodily affectedness. Only the implicit mode can appear on its own, while the explicit mode aims to be habitualised and thus to transition into the implicit mode. By means of the implicit mode, emotionally competent agents can adapt elastically to the situation. The concept of emotional change of aspect is explained by way of an example. Finally, further consequences for a philosophical approach to emotional abilities are formulated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper is an overview of the musicological research project „Towards a global history of music", which was carried out between 2013 and 2017 on the basis of a Balzan Prize for Musicology (2012), with the assistance of international music research institutes and their specialists. A main outcome of the project are three collective volumes of papers, published in 2018, 2019 and 2021, respectively. The project has viewed the variety of musical experiences around the world as a historical unfolding, to be explored via a „long path" through both geography and history. It has queried the enlightenment idea of a fundamental unity of all music (universalism), and the often fragile status of musical-cultural identities on the regional or national levels. It has sought to join methodologies of ethnomusicology and historical research, and has observed that the concepts of music and historiography themselves are less than universal. To the discourses of globalisation and modernisation, the project has added the alternative of transculturality, allowing for more neutral or participatory interpretations of cultural encounter. Summarising this research, tensions between nation and migration, regionalism and adaptation, ‚radial' and ‚imposed' globality are shown. The paper proposes to expand such studies into non-scientific practice and to find new institutional bases, which would benefit further global understanding and sharing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper develops out of a specific event. In 2020, the town of Münsingen in the Swabian Alps commissioned its authors to write a historical report on the Italian Fascist Monterosa Division, focusing on its function and role in the German occupation of Italy from 1944 to 1945. The issue to be clarified was the extent to which the division was involved in war crimes during this period. The background to the request was a monument erected in 1986 in the Ehrenhain, Münsingen's „grove of honour", by the division's veterans' association (Associazione degli appartenenti alla divisione Monterosa). This monument has since led to repeated controversy and heated debate over its Fascist symbolism and the division's involvement in anti-partisan warfare in Italy. Our paper focuses on the experience of officers in the Fascist regime, the division's operations against partisans and at the front, its crimes, and the attempts of the veterans' association in the post-war period to gain official recognition in both Germany and Italy. The Monterosa Mountain Division was created in 1943/1944 by Benito Mussolini's Repubblica sociale italiana (RSI) as one of four military divisions to join front-line combat with the German Army in Italy. Largely composed of young conscripts from Northern Italy, its older non-commissioned officers had extensive war experience from the Italian occupation of Greece and the Balkans, and from the Eastern Front. Its commander, General Mario Carloni, was a hardliner, an energetic, ruthless, and politicised Fascist officer who after the collapse of the Italian state in 1943 chose to continue fighting for Mussolini's side and to support the German occupation of Italy. German instructors trained the Monterosa Division in Münsingen. In late August 1944, it was sent to Italy and assigned to coastal defense duties on the east coast of Liguria, an area almost completely controlled by partisans. The division thus became involved in anti-partisan actions and began to take hostages, shoot civilians and prisoners of war, and destroy village houses. In 1951, a division association was founded, with former General Carloni as its honorary president. Until 2001, it tried in vain to gain recognition from the Associazione Nazionale Alpini (ANA), the most important veterans' and reservists' association of Italian mountain troops. In Germany, on the other hand, the former Monterosa soldiers found faster access to veterans' associations. The first visit by former division members to Münsingen took place as early as 1952. In the 1970s, these visits became increasingly regular and were given official sanction. During the 1980s, the division association's connections further expanded and ultimately resulted in the erection of a memorial to the fallen. In Germany, of all places, the RSI veterans received the recognition that was so difficult for them to obtain in their home country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

P.Lund I 4, first published in 1935, contains lines from an unknown comedy, doubtfully attributed to Menander in the ed.pr.; P. Carlsb. inv. 50, published in 1977, preserves verses from a comedy possibly by Menander or Apollodorus of Carystus. According to my re-examination, the two fragments belong to the same bookroll. In this paper I will discuss this joint, together with a new reconstruction of the comedy scene preserved by P.Lund I 4 and some new readings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The discussion about the further shaping of the open access transformation has gained new momentum through the „Council Conclusions on High-Quality, Transparent, Open, Trustworthy and Equitable Scholarly Publishing" by the EU Science Ministries from May 2023. The necessity of non-profit, scholarly open access publication models is emphasized. Against this background and further debates on the topic, „Theses on the Future of Community-Driven Open Access Publishing" (German: „Thesen zur Zukunft des wissenschaftsgeleiteten Open-Access-Publizierens") were developed as a contribution to the discussion at the satellite conference „Community-Driven Open Access Publishing" (German: „Wissenschaftsgeleitetes Open-Access-Publizieren") organized by the Berlin School of Library and Information Science of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin on September 26, 2023. The event accompanied the Open Access Days 2023, held at the Freie Universität Berlin. This paper presents the theses and describes their genesis and discussion process. The ten theses are meant to incite the further development of the open access transformation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ever-growing number of scientific publications forces researchers to spend a lot of time finding the resources relevant to their academic work. Discovery platforms provide support by aggregating research data, publications, and other research resources and supporting their discoverability through recommender systems (RS). However, the use of such technologies can lead to certain biases in the selection of resources that are useful for research and can affect the choice of topics to work on, the arguments used, and ultimately the innovation potential of research. These effects are not yet well understood, and there is a lack of concrete recommendations and best practices for the development of RS for scientific discovery platforms. In this paper, guidelines for the application of RS in scientific discovery platforms are formulated, about a possible application in the Open Data Navigator, an open data discovery platform being developed as part of the Swiss project Connectome. The concept of serendipity – the phenomenon of making unexpected but valuable discoveries – is proposed as a touchstone for the usefulness of RS. The recommended guidelines aim to ensure the possibility of experiencing serendipity in a virtual environment as one of the prerequisites for innovative research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The adoption of an e-first or e-preferred strategy in academic libraries has become increasingly important due to digital advances in scholarly communication. This paper analyses the opportunities and challenges of an e-preferred strategy for academic libraries, particularly in electronic monographs (e-books). The diversity of the e-book market in terms of platforms, licensing models and DRM is considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The German Society for Information and Knowledge (DGI) invites its members to the regular general meeting on November 8, 2024. At the meeting, a new board will be elected and the annual budget plan will be discussed and approved. DGI is also organizing a theme day where the working groups AKTS and IuG will present their work results and seek exchange with business, science, and administration. Training and further education opportunities on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will also be offered. DGI mourns the loss of long-time member Dr. Robert Fugmann, who passed away at the age of 97. The German Society for Information Science and Information Practice (DGI) offers various services related to legal aspects, knowledge management, and information literacy. In 2023, the focus of the Information Literacy and Education (IKB) working group was on the anniversary symposium of DGI. Discussions on topics such as fake news and information literacy took place. DGI also plans to update a position paper on the topic of Artificial Intelligence and Education. Events to promote information literacy were held, and collaboration with other organizations was maintained. The FaMI conference in 2024 will be hosted by the Joseph-DuMont Vocational College in Cologne. Approximately 30 vocational school teachers for media and information services met for professional exchange and further education. The program included topics such as project work and podcast production. Excursions to various institutions provided insights into the practice and possible work environments of the apprentices. It was emphasized that the field of information and documentation services needs to be strengthened nationwide. [Extracted from the article]
