This paper looks at political celebrations in the German Empire and uses photographic examples to show how imperial celebrations were part of colonial life culture and a means of distancing oneself from the African/non-white ‘other’. The birthday celebration of the German Kaiser Wilhelm II served to maintain white imperial identity through an artificial separation from the colonised, even though coloniser and colonised shared many intimate spaces. This paper will use visual sources from the colonial period to analyse issues of whiteness in the German and Cameroonian contexts, showing how white imperialists were willing to go to great lengths to maintain their supposed whiteness. It will also present an idea that allows for a connection between white cultural elitism and colonial domination. I will discuss the images according to the approaches of Whiteness Studies in combination with Panofsky’s method of image analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes a possible change in stereotypical images of age in advertising since the turn of the millennium. The work examines whether a more positive image of people over the age of 50 can be identified over time. For this purpose, 2,041 portrayals of people in the advertisements of ten selected magazine titles from the years 2000 and 2020 are analyzed as part of a quantitative image content analysis. With an intersectional perspective, the study examines the extent to which advertising double standard aging (Sontag, 1979) exists. Furthermore, the article examines the quantitative occurrence of so-called best agers in advertising since the turn of the millennium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article addresses the question of the extent to which ambiguous images with cultural potential play a role in culture-related learning processes. It is assumed that images with multiple interpretations can have a high potential in the culture-related learning field, which leads learners to express their feelings and emotions more strongly. The concepts of interpretation learning by Ingeborg Schüßler, the concept of emotion learning by Rolf Arnold, and the theory of expansive learning by Klaus Holzkamp with his subject position serve as the theoretical basis for concretizing the concept of culture-related learning in this work. This work is also based on the cultural studies approach of discursive cultural studies by Claus Altmayer, in which "culture" is no longer defined objectively, but as a negotiation of meanings. This work attempts to find answers to the following questions based on an empirical investigation of German teachers in Egypt and Egyptian German as a Foreign Language learners: To what extent can images initiate the culture-related learning process? What potentials do images have on the different levels within culture-related learning processes? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Robert Alt (1905–1978) published a pictorial atlas on the history of schools and education in two volumes in 1960 and 1965. Before his death, he was able to conceive a third volume, which was to concentrate on the formation of a socialist education system from the October Revolution of 1917 onwards, but was unable to complete it. Posthumously, the manuscript was continued, completed and revised, but it has not been published to date. The article is dedicated to the Bilderatlas as a socialist pictorial space and exemplarily addresses the question of which images constitute a socialist conception of education. On the one hand, the authors draw attention to the Bilderatlas's collection and project, and on the other hand, they show which important topics need to be brought to light for a visual history of education with a view to the post-Soviet space.

The present dissertation examines the possibilities of automatic video image analysis for monitoring and evaluating the behavior and health of pigs in the farrowing area. The hypothesis is made that object detection models can support animal keepers and employees in animal monitoring. Two new algorithms have been developed to automatically capture the behavior and body posture of sows before farrowing, as well as the core body temperature of piglets. The accuracy of the algorithms varies, but they demonstrate the potential and limitations of automatic monitoring and evaluation of pigs in the farrowing area. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract: Pulmonary opacities are among the most common findings that general practitioners and internists have to interpret in everyday life. Conventional chest x-rays are still important, but computed tomograms often provide additional information. Patient history, clinical examination but also additionally collected laboratory findings are important prerequisites for the interpretation of imaging studies. Likewise, radiological patterns should be recognized and correctly described. The density, distribution to one or both sides, basal or apical, unifocal or multifocal, also the involvement of the interstitial tissue, bronchioles, the alveolar space and pleura can provide decisive differential diagnostic information. Space-occupying or shrinking processes may be suspected on behalf of the course of pleural lines. Tumours may be differentiated from shrinking lung volume as seen in atelectasis by shift of the mediastinum or the shape of pleural lines. Occasionally control images can support the interpretation of the radiological results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Economic developments are often accompanied by narratives, which correspond to popular or generally understandable as well as easily reproducible descriptions, images and interpretations. In debates about European integration, the sovereign debt crisis, and solutions to the Corona crisis – the latter of which has rekindled concerns about the public finances of thrifty states – the narrative of Europe as a "transfer union" plays a major role. Unilateral payments from economically strong to economically weaker countries are assumed. An evaluation of all plenary minutes of the German Bundestag shows that this narrative has spread since the introduction of the Euro. Its peak has been reached with the European sovereign debt crisis of 2010/11. However, this is a distorted picture, which identifies Germany as the loser of European integration. The advantages to all member States deriving from currently discussed – or already implemented – measures to stabilize the EU can be explained by means of more appropriate descriptions of Europe as a "stability union" or "risk community".

Special rheumatological cases are illustrated using various examples. On the one hand we present differential diagnoses and causes of a "Baker's cyst", on the other hand a case of involvement of the cervical spine in rheumatoid arthritis. Usually, the medical history and precise clinical examination will lead us in the right diagnostic direction. Further clarifications such as laboratory analyses or imaging procedures are used in a targeted manner, taking into account the clinic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Photography can be used for a wide variety of social functions. The hermeneutic method of image cluster analysis presented deals with a comparatively new social use and understanding of photography: as digital montage forming intricate compilations. At the methodological heart of this approach is the 1. figurative analysis of the compositional principles of particular image compilations, i.e., their expressive meaning. This ideographic perspective is expanded and supplemented by 2. investigating the structure of the mediated field of perception and action of each image cluster, as well as the styles of observing and knowing that they predicate. Methodologically speaking, the approach relies on an assumption that far from being an invention of technological media, the "game" (WITTGENSTEIN) which is constitutive of iconic image clusters, complete with relationships of similarity and difference, has its anthropological basis and primary social expression in people's body language and in minor social distinctions. According to this hypothesis, in recent image clusters photography is no longer necessarily understood as depicting or documenting occurrences in the lifeworld, but is instead consolidated as a collectively shared means of expression which can be repeatedly recombined to form new figures of expression—in other words, it achieves a decidedly idiomatic quality.

The text explores what specific requirements digital long-term archiving implies on image data. Not every digital image is worthy of being archived in situ, simply because its format is classified as 'worthy of archiving'. Rather, it is about qualitative characteristics, which can be measured in order to verify the required archive quality beyond doubt, transparently and comprehensibly. This in the present as well as in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The general objective of the project is the development of an efficient sorting system based on hyperspectral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for the detection and separation of impurities by pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA)- containing plant-derived contaminations in cultural plants, e.g. medicinal and aromatic plants. PAs are livertoxic secondary metabolites that protect plants from predators and have drawn more attention in recent years after harmful concentrations were found in medicinal teas. By now, the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) has published strict PA limit values because medicinal plants can be contaminated with PA-containing weeds such as various types of ragwort, groundsel, common viper's head, field forget-menot, common dog's tongue, water-east or borage and thus, potentially endanger people with medicinal or aromatic teas (BFARM, 2016). Four to five PA-containing plants e.g of Senecio vulgaris per hectare are sufficient to contaminate one ton of the drug by exceeding the critical value of maximum uptake of 0,007 µg PA/kg body weight per day published by HMPC. The planned process will analyze fresh and dried plant material on a flat-conveyer using hyperspectral NIR spectroscopy to detect impurities in the crop. After identification, contaminants should be removed by a sorting technique, e.g. using compressed air pulses. Similar systems have already been established in plastic waste sorting and quality control, for example for grapes (FREUND et al., 2015). The aim is to achieve a high throughput of up to 1.5 t/h with such an automated sorting technology, the health risks posed by PA-contaminated medicinal plant products could be reduced ecologically and economically efficient for cultivation and processing of medicinal plants. This would also mean safeguarding high-quality and competitive plant-derived drug production in Germany. First results show that a classification of target plant species and contaminating groundsel using NIR spectroscopy succeeds for various medicinal plants. To be able to carry out such image analyses in real-time, the amount of data to be processed will be reduced to the decisive factors using multifactorial data analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on the analysis of a photographically staged internship scenario of a student teacher at a primary school. The large format picture illustrates an interview in the journal didacta in which innovation in teacher training is being discussed. The implementation of such innovation will play an important role in the context of the quality initiative in teacher training. By means of documentary image interpretation, the socio-conjunctive knowledge of teacher training contained in the interview is identified, which in turn constitutes and shapes the public image of the profession. It is strikingly traditional and contains contradictions that not only refer to the complexity of teaching and learning but can also be read as a common perception of the teaching profession.
