POP - with this motto, the present volume reaches out to a dazzling dimension of everyday culture and approaches it in a series of detailed studies. Subjects include the goa techno scene, Internet memes, fan fiction, Game of Thrones, dumpster diving, and veganism. The contributions are by students and are based on undergraduate papers that emerged from a two-semester seminar that combined an introduction to the concepts of British cultural studies with an ethnographic fieldwork exercise. A methodological paper by J. Bonz on ethnographic fieldwork, which also emerged from the seminar, complements the studies. The student articles are framed by three contributions from renowned popular culture researchers: S. Egger writes about Beyoncé Knowles from the point of view of aesthetic social critique, C. Bareither about communalizing emotional practices, and M. Tauschek gives an overview of popular culture research in the discourse of European Ethnology in conversation with S. Mauler. As a special extra, the volume includes a stretch of 29 photographs by B. Ludewig on the topic of contemporary avant-garde festivals.

The rebirth of Ancient Greek in Europe was promoted by Humanist education and ideas to such an extent that we can consider the Greek language as a formative element of Humanist culture. Next to Latin, the default common language, a Humanist has to know and use Greek, because he is not, cannot and will not be a barbarian: barbaros ou pelomai, as Julius Caesar Scaliger claimed in his verses in 1600. Wreaths (stephanoi) have been the symbols of the cult of Muses from ancient times. After the love for Greek Muses had been revived by Renaissance Humanist poets and scholars, it has remained with us both in poetic activity and in scholarship. The Hellenostephanos volume presents a collection of papers by scholars who study Humanist Greek, aspiring towards another revival of Hellenism, and trying to avoid being barbarians. The volume includes papers by Christian Gastgeber, Gita Bērziņa, Janika Päll, Charalampos Minaoglou, Erkki Sironen, Kaspar Kolk, Tua Korhonen, Johanna Akujärvi, Bartosz Awianowicz, Jean-Marie Flamand, Walther Ludwig, Alessandra Lukinovich, Martin Steinrück, Tomas Veteikis, Grigory Vorobyev, Vlado Rezar, Pieta van Beek, and Antoine Haaker.

This volume contains the proceedings of an international conference on the diplomatics of medieval papal documents held in 2019 at the German Historical Institute in Paris. From the pontificate of Alexander III (1159-1181) at the latest, direct appeals to the Roman curia, permitted even to lay people, reinforced the pope’s jurisdictional primacy and contributed to the proliferation and wide distribution of papal acts, which numbered some 30,000 by the end of the twelfth century. The papers deal with a number of topics touching on papal history, including new techniques for the analysis of papal acts and regional variations in their issuance. Particular attention is paid to France, whose papal charters the German Historical Institute in Paris is analyzing in the Gallia Pontificia.

“Gefangen in Mauthausen” (Imprisoned in Mauthausen) is volume three of a ”major European project on the history of the survivors” (Carlo Moos). It deals with the everyday life of the concentration camp inmates and their attempts to make use of what opportunities for survival even the terror system offered. Their death or survival depended largely on what racist, national, political or occupational tags the SS had assigned to them and on the circumstances and the date of their arrival in the camp. The twenty-one papers in this volume present a new assessment of the inmates’ worlds of living and show how diverse the “prisoner society” was when seen through the microscope of oral history., "Gefangen in Mauthausen" ist Band 3 eines "europäischen Großprojekts zur Geschichte der Überlebenden" (Carlo Moos) und handelt vom Alltag der Häftlinge und ihren Versuchen, selbst im Terrorsystem sich bietende Überlebenschancen zu nutzen. Ihr Tod oder Überleben hing stark davon ab, in welche rassistischen, nationalen, politischen oder beruflichen Kategorien sie von der SS eingeordnet wurden und unter welchen Bedingungen und wann sie ins KZ gekommen waren. Die 21 Beiträge dieses Buches präsentieren eine Neueinschätzung der Lebenswelten der Häftlinge und zeigen, wie vielfältig die "Häftlingsgesellschaft" gewesen ist, wenn man die mikroskopische Sicht der Oral History einnimmt.

Auf ihrer vierten Jahrestagung in Vechta befaßte sich die Gesellschaft für Didaktik des Sachunterrichts mit dem Thema „ Studieren für den Sachunterricht — Barrieren überwinden". Dieser Band enthält eine Auswahl der Tagungsbeiträge: einen Blick auf die Lehrerbildung aus der jeweiligen Sicht eines für die Planung zuständigen Ministerialbeamten und eines Hochschullehrers, unterschiedliche Anforderungen des Grundschulcurriculums an die Lehrerausbildung im Ausland (Dänemark, USA), Theorie und Praxis als korrespondierende Bezugspunkte forschenden Lernens im Studium. Ferner werden die Anforderungen verschiedener Aufgabenbereiche und Inhalte an das Studium für den Sachunterricht aufgezeigt, wie didaktisches Laboratorium, regionale Sachunterrichtssammlung, technische Bildung, „ Rasse" und Diskriminierung, Umwelterziehung und chemische Inhalte.; At its fourth annual conference in Vechta, the Gesellschaft für Didaktik des Sachunterrichts (Society for the Didactics of Science Teaching) focussed on the topic "Studying for Science Teaching - Overcoming Barriers". This volume contains a selection of the conference papers: a view of teacher training from the respective perspectives of a ministry official responsible for planning and a university lecturer, different requirements of the primary school curriculum for teacher training abroad (Denmark, USA), theory and practice as corresponding points of reference for research-based learning in the degree programme. Furthermore, the requirements of different areas of responsibility and content for the study programme in subject teaching are shown, such as didactic laboratory, regional subject teaching collection, technical education, "race" and discrimination, environmental education and chemical content.

The sixth volume of the "Communications" of the German-Russian Historical Commission includes papers presented at the 2012 Hamburg Colloquium. Presented bilingually – as always – the fifteen essays by prominent German and Russian historians and cultural scholars examine a broad range of cultural interactions between Germany and Russia.

Although the forum of the cooperative dispute has been known to some legal systems for more than two centuries, the institute is still very challenging for jurisprudence and doctrine today. This paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of the institute as well as to the fundamental question whether it is advisable to include such a place of jurisdiction in the law of international jurisdiction. Therefore, a comprehensive legal comparison between English, French, Austrian and European law is made in the first part. In the second part, there is a comprehensive analysis of the jurisdictional interests involved. In the third part, the discussion is supplemented by a practical facet, the debate on so-called "human rights claims" against corporations., Obwohl der Gerichtsstand der Streitgenossenschaft manchen Rechtsordnungen schon seit mehr als zwei Jahrhunderten bekannt ist, stellt das Institut auch heute noch Rechtsprechung und Lehre vor große Herausforderungen. Die vorliegende Arbeit möchte einen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis des Instituts sowie zur grundlegenden Frage leisten, ob es sich empfiehlt, einen solchen Gerichtsstand überhaupt in das Recht der internationalen Zuständigkeit aufzunehmen. Dazu wird in einem ersten Teil ein umfangreicher Rechtsvergleich zwischen dem englischen, französischen, österreichischen und dem europäischen Recht vorgenommen. Im zweiten Teil erfolgt eine umfassende Analyse der involvierten Zuständigkeitsinteressen. Im dritten Teil wird die Diskussion um eine praktische Facette, die Debatte um die sogenannten «Menschenrechtsklagen» gegen Unternehmen, ergänzt.

The volume "Space. Power. Inklusion." brings together selected papers from the 35th Annual Conference of Inclusion Researchers (IFO), which was hosted by the University of Innsbruck in cooperation with KPH Edith Stein from February 23-25, 2022. Under the impression of the global crises intensifying due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference focused on the importance of social spaces and powerful social orders for inclusion research. In this context, exclusion can be understood as the expropriation of spaces and their hegemonic occupation; inclusion, on the other hand, as their appropriation, radical democratization, and liberation. The contributions show how exclusive or inclusive spaces can be theoretically conceived, empirically investigated, and practically developed in current research projects., Der Band „Raum. Macht. Inklusion.“ versammelt ausgewählte Vorträge der 35. Jahrestagung der Inklusionsforscher*innen (IFO), die vom 23. bis 25. Februar 2022 durch die Universität Innsbruck in Kooperation mit der KPH Edith Stein ausgerichtet worden ist. Unter dem Eindruck der sich durch die COVID-19-Pandemie verschärfenden globalen Krisen, richtete die Tagung den Blick auf die Bedeutung gesellschaftlicher Räume und machtvoller sozialer Ordnungen für die Inklusionsforschung. Exklusion kann in diesem Zusammenhang als Enteignung von Räumen und deren hegemoniale Besetzung verstanden werden; Inklusion hingegen als deren Aneignung, radikale Demokratisierung und Befreiung. Die Beiträge zeigen auf, wie exklusive oder inklusive Räume in aktuellen Forschungsvorhaben theoretisch konzipiert, empirisch untersucht und praktisch weiterentwickelt werden können.

The late 1960s can be described as a time of democratic awakening and social upheaval, also regarding discussions on education. Taking this period of critique and questioning as a starting point, the work proceeds to examine knowledge movements. Knowledge circulation and knowledge transformation processes between political and educational practice as well as educational theory are analysed on the basis of 9 biographical narratives of people who were active in educational or political practice projects around 1968. The first theoretical part of this thesis outlines the historical context and introduces the state of research on '1968 and pedagogy'. Subsequently, the thesis introduces its knowledge-historical theoretical approaches, from which the concept of knowledge movements developed for this thesis emerges. The first part of the thesis concludes with the presentation of the methodical and methodological premises, explains theoretically the applied procedure of an integrative coupling of discourses and biographies and shows the form of practical application in the work. The second part of the thesis includes the presentation of the empirical results and along inductively identified thematic strands, various aspects of new perspectives that can be considered as (co-)inspired/stimulated by the critical-alternative pedagogical milieu that are examined in greater detail. The third part of the paper presents the results and links them back to the theoretical premises. Thus, it is shown how knowledge of the discursive space of the critical-alternative pedagogical milieu changed through its discursive entanglements with the established educational science and how the established educational science entered a communicative process of opening through the confrontation with the new forms of knowledge. For educational science, the results and documented processes can thus can thus serve as a sample for contemplation and be referred to introspectively in the context of today's processes of theory formation or research. Disciplinary continuities and discontinuities were shown and hence it is possible to revise/identify trends or demarcations via the knowledge-historical findings of the work., Die späten 1960er Jahre können als eine Zeit des demokratischen Aufbruchs und des gesellschaftlichen Umschwungs, auch bezogen auf die Thematisierungen von Bildung und Erziehung, bezeichnet werden. Diesem Zeitraum der Kritik und des Infragestellens als Ausgangspunkt nehmend, knüpft die Arbeit an, um Wissensbewegungen zu untersuchen. So werden, anhand von 9 biographischen Erzählungen mit Personen, die um 1968 in pädagogischen oder politischen Praxisprojekten aktiv waren, Wissenszirkulations- und Wissentransformationsprozesse zwischen politischer und pädagogischer Praxis sowie erziehungswissenschaftlicher Theorie analysiert. Im ersten theoretischen Teil der Arbeit wird einführend zunächst der historische Kontext umrissen und der Forschungsstand zu ‚1968 und Pädagogik‘ vorgestellt. Anschließend führt die Arbeit in ihre wissensgeschichtlichen theoretischen Zugänge ein, aus denen das für diese Arbeit entworfene Konzept von Wissensbewegungen hervorgeht. Der erste Teil der Arbeit schließt mit der Vorstellung der methodologischen und methodischen Prämissen, erläutert theoretisch das angewendete Verfahren einer integrativen Kopplung von Diskursen und Biographien und zeigt die Form der praktischen Anwendung in der Arbeit auf. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit umfasst die Darstellung der empirischen Ergebnisse und entlang von induktiv identifizierten Themensträngen werden verschiedene Aspekte neuer Perspektiven, die als durch das kritisch-alternative pädagogische Milieu mit angeregt betrachtet werden können, näher in den Blick genommen. Im dritten Teil der Arbeit werden die Ergebnisse vorgestellt und an die theoretischen Prämissen rückgekoppelt. So wird dort aufgezeigt, wie Wissen des Diskursraums des kritisch-alternativen pädagogischen Milieus sich durch seine diskursiven Verschränkungen mit der etablierten Erziehungswissenschaft veränderte und sich auch die etablierte Erziehungswissenschaft über die Auseinandersetzung mit den neuen Wissensformen in einem kommunikativen Prozess der Öffnung begab. Für die Erziehungswissenschaft können die Ergebnisse und dokumentierten Prozesse somit eine Kontemplationsfolie bieten, um sich im Kontext heutiger Prozesse der Theoriebildung oder der Forschung selbstreflexiv auf diese zu beziehen. Disziplinäre Kontinuitäten und Diskontinuitäten konnten sichtbar gemacht werden und so ist es möglich über die wissensgeschichtlichen Erkenntnisse der Arbeit Trends oder Abgrenzungen gegenzulesen.

The use of new examination and treatment methods (NUB) in the inpatient sector remains a contro-versial topic of health policy discussions even after the introduction of an early benefit assessment for certain medical devices of high-risk class. Policy makers must balance access to innovative technologies, risks and benefits of the technologies, and the ability and resilience of the statutory health insur-ance systems to finance those. Weaker approval criteria for medical devices compared to pharmaceu-ticals require consequent evaluation of (clinical) effectiveness and safety when it comes to the diffu-sion of medical devices in standard care. The overall aim of the study is to investigate the importance of scientific evidence for the adoption and diffusion of NUB in German hospitals. Using a new systematic, criteria-based approach, 27 health care relevant NUB have been identified for further analyses. For these, the development of evidence regarding efficacy and safety as well as the development of the case numbers in hospitals was ana-lyzed longitudinally (2005–2017). Publications were systematically identified, selected, and evaluated to create an overview of evidence available at different point of times. Other factors such as changes in financing schemes and safety alerts have been considered in the analysis. In addition, the utilization and research activities of German hospitals have been identified and analyzed descriptively. A relationship between diffusion and evidence development can be assumed for about half of the included methods. For the remaining methods, either the body of evidence is too sparse, the case numbers are too small to infer a relationship, or the case number and evidence development show opposite directions. In the sample, it takes up to ten years after marketing authorization until the first results of a randomized clinical trial are published. A robust body of evidence is only available for the majority of technologies after several years of use or does not emerge at all during the observation period. With regard to financing schemes, the study confirms that temporary payments for NUB have been paid for several years without evidence of benefit of the corresponding technologies. The need to submit annual NUB applications for funding does not appear to be a barrier to rapid diffusion. Despite various differences between technologies, case numbers in hospitals participating in studies (usually large hospitals or university hospitals) were generally higher compared to the remaining hos-pitals; in particular in the first years of NUB utilization. At the same time, however, some hospitals use new methods based on high-risk medicines infrequently, which in turn raise questions about patient safety and quality of care in these hospitals. Overall, the trade-off between promoting innovation and ensuring evidence-based care remains a fundamental challenge. Considering all methodological limitations, the results support the impetus to question the existing regulatory framework for NUB and to focus on systematic evidence generation. It is essential to find a common solution that focuses on the efficacy/effectiveness and safety of the technologies for patients, but also provides a framework for systematic evidence generation.
