Die Leibniz-Wolffsche Tradition hat im Bereich der Geschichte der Philosophie an Bedeutung gewonnen.[1] Zu dieser Tradition zählen neben den Namensgebern, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz und Christian Wolff, die Vertreter der deutschen Schulmetaphysik des 18. Jahrhunderts und die Leibnizianer wie Moses Mendelssohn oder Johann August Eberhard.[2] Zu der deutschen Schulmetaphysik des 18. Jahrhunderts gehören neben Wolff die „Wolffianer“, bspw. Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, Johann Christoph Gottsched, Georg Friedrich Meier oder Hermann Samuel Reimarus, während Leibniz und (zumeist) auch Mendelssohn nicht zur deutschen Schulmetaphysik gezählt werden (Heimsoeth, 1967, Krijnen, 2017, Wundt, 1964).[3]Indes ist Leibniz auch für Wolff und die Wolffianer eine Schlüsselfigur gewesen. [1] Seit dem Ende des zweiten Weltkriegs hat die Erforschung der Leibniz-Wolffschen Tradition in den 1960er und den 1970er Jahren einen ersten Höhepunkt erreicht (vgl. bspw. Arndt, 1971, Bissinger, 1970, École, 1973, 1979). In dieser Einleitung werden vor allem Arbeiten erwähnt, die nach der Jahrtausendwende erschienen sind, um auf diese Weise das aktuelle Interesse an der Leibniz-Wolffschen Tradition zu verdeutlichen. [2] Von der deutschen Schulmetaphysik des 18. Jahrhunderts ist die deutsche Schulmetaphysik des 17. Jahrhunderts zu unterscheiden. Zur deutschen Schulmetaphysik des 17. Jahrhunderts siehe Wundt (1939). [3] Gideon Stiening zählt Mendelssohn jedoch zur deutschen Schulmetaphysik (Stiening, 2014, S. 55).

The analysis of battery materials regarding their microstructure provides key insights on their performance in the target application, e.g., in terms of electrical conductivity, durability, or resistance to destructive exothermic reactions upon damage. Typically, high resolution scans on a large fields-of-view are required for this purpose, which implies rapidly increasing dataset sizes. This work introduces a big data analytics approach integrating segmentation and quantification techniques, which are scaling with large high-resolution computed tomography data, in order to generate rich computed tomography data. Subsequent visualizations support the final decision making. Representative results of this method are demonstrated on a commercially available 18650 cylindrical lithium-ion battery cell.

Furnace and Fugue is a digital edition of Michael Maier’s (1568-1622) opus magnum, the emblem book Atalanta fugiens (1617/18) in which Latin and German texts are paired with images and musical fugues in an enigmatic way to engage users of the book in deep meditation on alchemical subjects. The digital edition of the text itself, including an English translation based on a 17th century manuscript, is accompanied by a number of scholarly essays. A main feature is the MEI player, which includes a piano roll visualisation that allows users to experience the musicological makeup of Atalanta fugiens even without a background in music theory. The edition is a beautifully designed “haute couture” edition, intended to provide an example for the future of digital scholarly publishing. The project has used digital editing effectively to enable the multimedia experience that Michael Maier had likely envisioned for Atalanta fugiens. but which was previously inaccessible to most users of the book.

In our paper we introduce our model “Structures of Language and Music” and report about a case study in Iceland. We show how language und music education partly draw from similar concepts in either discipline and how these concepts may be combined for a deeper understanding of language and music learning both in natural as well as in instructed settings. Looking at data collected in a focus group discussion at the University of Iceland and by observations in Icelandic music and foreign language classrooms in an inclusive school in Reykjavík we show in this paper how music and language learning can inspire each other. By understanding the relationship between music and language learning from a more theoretical approach suggested by our model and its reception by specialists from the music and modern languages departments of the University of Iceland as well as its application to classroom practice, we suggest that our model can make a contribution to language and music education as well as teacher education

ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to present the LITTERA corpus, an English-Spanish literary parallel speech corpus created for the purpose of language learning, and to sketch out a few pedagogical applications for the study of English phonology by Spanish-speaking language learners. It is composed of 25 literary texts that have been aligned with the Spanish translation and are accompanied by audio from the corresponding audiobooks. In this article, we will detail its conception, composition and features at length, as well as provide a few examples of how LITTERA can be applied in language learning, particularly within the realm of oral comprehension and speech production.

Conclusions. | (Abstract) The Article analyses whether and how integration considerations are encapsulated into EU secondary legislation establishing the conditions under which EU citizens and third country nationals can reside in a Member State (acts relating to immigration policy, to asylum policy, and to free movement of citizens of the Union), taking due account of the case-law of the Court of Justice. The aim is to compare the different legal regimes under this particular perspective, in order to evaluate whether the regime applicable to EU citizens can be understood as ontologically different from the regime established for third country nationals or rather as a variation of the same regime.

The European Union has developed a foreign policy on arms, to tackle the accumulation of small arms and light weapons in third countries and prevent it. The policy has been outlined by a 2005 Strategy and has been implemented over the years by an array of actions, taken at the international, regional, bilateral or national level. The aim of this paper is to sketch these actions, in order to offer a better understanding of this policy and of its implementation. Keywords: European Union, arms trade, international law, proliferation, small arms and light weapons L’Unione europea ha sviluppato una politica estera in materia di armi, per contrastare e prevenire l’accumulazione di armi leggere e di piccolo carico nei paesi terzi. Delineata in una Strategia del 2005, è stata attuata nel corso degli anni attraverso una pluralità di azioni. Il presente contributo intende descrivere sinteticamente tali azioni, distinguendole a seconda del piano (internazionale, regionale, bilaterale o nazionale) in cui si svolgono, per metterne in luce la varietà e offrire una valutazione della loro efficacia. Parole chiave: Unione europea, traffico di armi, diritto internazionale, proliferazione, armi leggere e di piccolo calibro

This article argues in favor of online archives of recorded poetry. While poetry has always been recited, the possibility of recording the voices of poets provides poetry with a new medium. Sound-recording technologies have existed for over a century and the recordings accumulated are numerous and extremely heterogeneous, both in terms of carriers and sources. But too little has been made, at least in France, of these vast resources some of which will be lost if they are not soon digitized. This disregard has had historical and generic consequences. It has distorted the recent history of the genre and restrictedour view of the poem. The paper begins by considering how sound recordings modify our conception of what a poem is. In the United States, where the revival of the poetry reading dates back to the mid-1950s, the creation of online archives of poetry from the 2000s has been changing how poetry is researched, taught and encountered. North-American scholars have suggested some of the uses to be made of recorded poetry but European scholars are beginning and must continue to contribute other approaches based on their own poetic and scholarly traditions. The bulk of the article presents and contextualizes some of these uses. It ends by briefly presenting Archives sonores de la poésie,a scholarly project begun in 2017 for an online archive of French and francophone poetry.

Michel Houellebecqs Roman Soumission und Boualem Sansals 2084 (beide 2015) zeichnen mit ihren pseudo-islam(ist)ischen Staaten, welche die westliche ‚Zivilisation‘ überschreiben, antimoderne Alternativgesellschaften. Ausgehend von der Sprach- und Schriftkonzeption der Aufklärung und Derridas kritischer Rousseau-Lektüre soll gezeigt werden, wie beide Romane den Verlust einer ‚zivilisierten‘ Zeichenhaftigkeit ideologisch unterschiedlich verorten und so unterschiedliche Szenarien der westlichen Moderne entwerfen. Während Sansals totalitäre Dystopie den Verlust aufgeklärter Schriftkultur beklagt, setzt Houellebecq der überkommenen Moderne eine utopische Reduktion auf das Somatische entgegen.

Perseus Digital Library is a well-established Digital Humanities project providing a library of out-of-copyright editions of canonical world literature with a focus on the Classical languages while expanding its scope beyond its original field. Apart from being a text collection, Perseus also provides a plethora of tools for the analysis of its text material and builds upon a sound base of methodological grounding. The digital library is made up of one main collection (Greek and Roman materials) and several smaller sub-collections spanning a range of other subjects. Data acquisition is achieved semi-automatically. The contents of the library consist of out-of-print text editions, dictionaries and commentaries being enriched by the supply of digital tools for analysis. Perseus Digital Library is reviewed as a whole but a special focus of the review lies on the Greek and Roman sub-collection and sub-projects.

Its numerous functions, described in these pages, are essential tools for the management and exploitation of many different types of historical sources. Data organized through Zotero, exportable to every kind of support, can be finally structured and organized to be published, shared and used online as bibliographical references.

Un sistema di urban landscape spaces (spazi del paesaggio urbano) può rappresentare un nuovo sistema di infrastrutture in grado di assorbire e limitare le alluvioni nelle stagioni delle piogge. Tale sistema sarà composto da elementi paesaggistici e spaziali riferiti a diverse scale e riconducibili a tre livelli: la micro scala (edificio e sito), la media scala (blocco e distretto) e la macro scala (regione e metropoli). Per costruire tale sistema, specialmente su media scala, è fondamentale determinare la quantità, la distribuzione spaziale, l’area di servizio e il volume dell’acqua raccolta in questi landscape spaces. Il volume di acqua piovana e il tempo di raccolta sono due premesse di base. Il volume dell’acqua piovana conduce alla quantità e all’estensione degli spazi aperti. Il tempo di raccolta deriva dalla velocità e dall’estensione dei percorsi di deflusso dell’acqua piovana, mentre la velocità è determinata dalla morfologia, dall’altitudine e dalla resistenza superficiale. La distanza è determinata dalla posizione degli spazi aperti all’interno della rete stradale urbana. Analisi basate su sistemi GIS e DEM dovrebbero essere integrate per valutare l’area di servizio e il volume da dedicare alla raccolta delle acque di ogni spazio aperto. Questo approccio tecnico è applicato nella valutazione degli spazi aperti del vecchio quartiere di Nanjing, e alla valutazione della distribuzione degli spazi aperti esistenti nel distretto di Qinglong, Nanjing.

O bacharelismo, além de fenômeno político e social, tem raízes históricas ainda em solo português. Isto porque o Brasil não herdou somente a cultura e os costumes de Portugal: também a educação ministrada em seus moldes, através dos padres jesuítas, e a forma de organização do Estado contribuíram para a relevância do papel de bacharel na sociedade brasileira. Assim, far-se-á uma sucinta alocução à estruturação do aparelho estatal português-brasileiro, onde o direito passa a ter papel determinante, para num segundo momento analisar a conjuntura e a implantação dos cursos jurídicos no Brasil. Por fim, cabe estabelecer um liame entre os assuntos anteriores e o bacharel em direito, a fim de compreender sua relevância na escala social.

The paper is an evaluation of EU regional policy. It asks whether cohesion programmes contribute to the reduction of differences. In the first part of the study the results of three different methodological approaches are briefly examined to analyse effects. The answer to the question is not at all unambiguous, which is why the second half of the paper attempts to find those factors which may cause the regional policy of the EU to fail to achieve its desired objectives. According to the literature review these factors are (1) the crowding out effect, (2) the existence of rent-seeking and moral hazard, (3) the counterbalancing effect of national policies, (4) a concentration of economic activities (mainly industries representing high added value), and (5) the short time frame. Finally the study establishes those preconditions which, when present, can be considered necessary and sufficient for the redistributed funds to initiate growth.

The critical issues of the most widespread categorical diagnostic models, such as the ICD and the DSM, elicit some reflections: Clinicians must interface with the way psychopathology is considered and how the psychopathology model influences the diagnostic phase and the indication/contraindication to treatment. Recent research has emphasized the importance of embedding the signs and symptoms with neurobiological functioning and a developmental perspective. Recent classification systems [i.e., the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood - DC: 0-5TM and the Research Domain Criteria - RdoC (Insel et al., 2010)] aim to identify criteria that are useful to the clinician and that overcome the limitations of traditional models. The article outlines the main points of the most up-to-date models of psychopathology, particularly how they integrate different components of the person's functioning with the developmental and neurobiological levels and the environment. These radical changes make clinicians reflect on how to use psychodiagnostic instruments: Testing was born when different models of psychopathology prevailed. The authors emphasize the importance of using more consciously existing tests, referring to a more current view of psychopathology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The availability of water will be a critical issue in the future and a better monitoring of water resources is a priority. The calculation of low flow characteristics constitutes a basic requirement of water resources assessment. According to the French water law, the Mean Monthly Annual Minimum discharges (MMAM) is used to summarize and to assess low flow. In fact, other indices can also be used to manage water resources during drought period and a broad range of different low flow indicators are available. This paper intends to review the variety of low flow definitions, indicators and regulatory thresholds.
