Die Lippische Landesbibliothek Detmold verfügt über eine bedeutende Musiksammlung, in der die Aufführungsmaterialien des Hoftheaters (1825-1875) und die dazugehörigen Theaterakten eine herausragende Stellung einnehmen. Der Beitrag beschreibt den Bestand und erläutert die seit 2014 erprobte kontextuelle Tiefenerschließung mit den neuen Datenstandards MEI und TEI. Die Herausforderung für diese neue Form der Erschließung liegt in der Verbindung inhaltlicher Quellenbeschreibungen innerhalb der Metadaten mit Incipits und aufbereiteten Digitalisaten und in der Verknüpfung der Erfassung unterschiedlicher Quellentypen (Aufführungsmaterialien und Akten). The Lippische Landesbibliothek Detmold owns an important musical collection which features performance materials of the court theatre (1825-1875) and corresponding theatre files. The article describes the collections and explains the contextual deeper indexing with the new data standards MEI and TEI that has been tested since 2014. The challenge for this new way of indexing is connecting contents of source descriptions within the metadata with processed digital contents using incipits, and linking the recording of different source types (performance materials and files).

Abstract: An assessment of the functional and structural biodiversity in arable soils, considering the impact of different tillage systems, is needed in the interest of conserving biodiversity and the ecosystem services provided by organisms. Thus, a survey of the scientific literature published over the past six decades was conducted. We concentrated on data from agro-ecosystems in Germany as they cover a wide range of different soils representative for temperate regions. The state of knowledge was analyzed with regard to the impact of conventional, conservation and no-tillage management on lumbricids, collembolans, mites, enchytraeids, nematodes and microbiota. Interaction effects between tillage intensity and parameters characterizing the respective system (e.g., soil texture and crop) were considered. Besides the abundance and biomass of soil organisms, species richness and individual densities of taxonomical and functional units, enzyme activities, various quotients indicating microbial-driven soil processes and infestation rates of soil-borne pathogens were included in the analysis. The integrating analysis of the datasets indicates that soil biota responds specifically to tillage systems. Whereas abundances and species diversity of lumbricids increased significantly, individual density and species diversity of collembolans decreased significantly when tillage intensity was reduced. Tillage-driven impacts on lumbricids and collembolans differed depending on soil texture, whereas those on nematodes and microbial communities varied depending on soil depth. Functional groups within certain taxa show differing tillage-induced impacts. Linking several datasets on various indicator organisms clearly show that the decision on which tillage system should be applied must be taken for each individual case considering local soil characteristics.

According to the dividend discount model (DDM), a long run relationship should exist between stock prices and dividends. In this study, in order to test the validity of the DDM on the French, German, Japanese, UK and US stock markets from 1973 to 2002, cointegration tests corrected for skewness and excess kurtosis are implemented. As dividends distribution may be affected by stock repurchases strategies, the test is adjusted by taking earnings into account. It is found that the speculative bubble hypothesis cannot be rejected.
