The article paints a vivid picture of late-eighteenth-century Breslau and places the Jewish writer Esther Gad, who was married to local tradesman Samuel Bernard in 1791, in the city's sociable life. Mentioning Gad's many contacts to writers and philosophers such as Christian Garve, Jean Paul, and Elisa von der Recke, the article singles out Esther Gad's friendship with Rahel Levin Varnhagen, who visited Breslau in 1794 and described her impressions of the city in letters to her family.

The article "Queer Identities in German as a Foreign Language Teaching: A Survey of Indian Teachers" examines the willingness of Indian German as a Foreign Language (DaF) teachers to address queer identities in the classroom. The author conducted group discussions with 18 teachers and analyzed the content qualitatively. It was found that DaF teaching in India often favors heteronormative identities and rarely or never addresses other sexual identities. The teachers reflect the heteronormative society and bring their own prejudices into the classroom. It is emphasized that non-heterosexual identities should also have a place in the classroom.

Since the oldest times, humans have been dealing with the phenomenon of time, as the experience of time is a fundamental element both of human existence and of the sciences, of art, of religion, indeed of culture anyway. However, there is no common idea of what time is. The conception of time varies according to the society-specific mode of perception. To trace down the connection between time and society, the purpose of this study is to analyse different types of time (boss time, cyclical time, linear time, accelerating time) in the societal context and to investigate in how far they follow any ›natural structure‹ given in the world or in how far they are intellectual constructs becoming manifest by different ideas of time. In this context, also aspects of the subjective experience of time and possibilities of time-related acting are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Can we still save the world? Probably everybody has asked themselves this question at some point. But when we concentrate so much on the negative side of things that we lose sight of positive developments, it becomes a problem. My diploma thesis and project originated from the experience that to try and save the world can be a frustrating matter. It is a search for serenity in social and ecological commitment. I recorded the outcome of this search in an experimentally designed book. This learning paper gives an insight into the project and describes how design, social and ecologial commitment and serenity can benefit from one another. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The medical councils (Ärztekammern) develop the contents of the further training regulations with the support of the specialist society. The hospitals with the training supervisors have to implement these contents for the trainees in continuing education and confirm the acquisition of competence for the individual tasks. Surveys of young surgeons in recent years have shown that many participants do not receive structured continuing education, so that there is general dissatisfaction. Therefore, the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV) is required to provide assistance to its members to improve continuing education in the departments. For example, the DGAV organizes more than 100 surgical courses annually on all topics of visceral surgery, anatomy, skills courses and revision courses with the Further Education and Advanced Training Quality Center (WeiFoQ). This year a continuing education curriculum was developed over the 6‑year continuing education period, so that a structured continuing education is achievable. The contents of the continuing education regulations are included in this continuing education curriculum with explanations, video clips, and graphics, thus providing quick information on each individual surgical clinical picture. A digital surgical catalog provides a quick overview of the status of personal continuing education. It is planned to set up an interface to the eLogbook of the medical councils., (© 2023.
