Spin-orbit interaction and structure inversion asymmetry in combination with magnetic ordering is a promising route to novel materials with highly mobile spin-polarized carriers at the surface. Spin-resolved measurements of the photoemission current from the Si-terminated surface of the antiferromagnet TbRh2Si2 and their analysis within an ab initio one-step theory unveil an unusual triple winding of the electron spin along the fourfold-symmetric constant energy contours of the surface states. A two-band k⋅p model is presented that yields the triple winding as a cubic Rashba effect. The curious in-plane spin-momentum locking is remarkably robust and remains intact across a paramagnetic-antiferromagnetic transition in spite of spin-orbit interaction on Rh atoms being considerably weaker than the out-of-plane exchange field due to the Tb 4f moments., This work was supported by the German Research Foundation (Grants No. KR-3831/5-1, No. LA655/20-1, GRK1621, Fermi-NESt No. ANR-16-CE92-0018, and SFB1143, project-id 247310070) and the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities (Grant Nos.

Purpose: Physical therapists play an important role in the pediatric intensive care setting. The purpose of this study was to describe current cardiopulmonary physical therapy (CPT) practices in a pediatric cardiac critical care unit (CCCU) and a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), as well as to determine the feasibility of obtaining clinically relevant outcome measures in this setting. Methods: We obtained reasons for admission, CPT treatment patterns, and availability of chest X-rays interpretation via a retrospective chart review of children who received CPT while in the PICU and CCCU (n=111). Results: Congenital cardiac conditions (34.2%) and primary respiratory deterioration (27.9%) were the most common reasons for admission; 50% of the children had associated diagnoses (e.g., developmental delay). Manual hyperinflation with expiratory vibration was the most common CPT treatment. Chest X-ray interpretation was available in 72% of the charts. Conclusions: Manual hyperinflation with expiratory vibration was used across diagnostic groups in the CCCU and PICU; its effectiveness therefore requires further study. Chest X-ray is an important clinical outcome and therefore needs to be recorded in a standardized manner to be useful for future clinical research studies.

After Willy Brandt’s Ostpolitik, West Germans began to accept the more permanent division of the country and rediscovered the regional fundaments of their federal political system. A catalyst for this process was provided by a massive regionalization of the daily press in the aftermath of the recession in 1973. That regionalization entailed the delineation of new regional distribution and advertising areas, the launch of new editions, the growth of regularly and irregularly published alternative papers and a stronger emphasis on regional news. In the 1970s regionalization cut across all segments of the market and across party affiliations and affected established papers, the irregular alternative press and even television and broadcasting. It propelled the West German daily press to its height point in German history, with more than 25 million copies per day in 1982. The new regional focus of the daily press increased public awareness of regional protests, regional identity politics and regional scandals during the chancellorship of Helmut Schmidt (1974–82) to such an extent that the article concludes that the 1970s were not only a ‘global’ decade, but also a regional decade. The history of the regional press that is presented in the article for the first time facilitates a new view of regional changes in economic prosperity, criticism of the federal state and the emergence of regional consumer markets between 1974 and 1982. The analysis provides a cornerstone for a more detailed media history of the Bonn Republic and a new understanding of the 1970s.

On 7 November 1968, the political activist Beate Klarsfeld entered the stage of a CDU party convention in Berlin, slapped the West German chancellor Kurt-Georg Kiesinger in the face and cried ‘Nazi, Nazi’. During the Third Reich, Kiesinger had worked in one of the propaganda departments of the Auswärtiges Amt (Foreign Office). The history of the German foreign office received additional attention in 1968 due to the fact that the then vice-chancellor and foreign secretary of the Grand Coalition, Willy Brandt, was a former resistance fighter, who had been stripped of his citizenship by the Auswärtiges Amt in 1938. Despite numerous scandals about the post-war careers of former Nazi diplomats in the 1950s and 60s, the Auswärtiges Amt escaped closer scrutiny until 2005, when the then foreign secretary Joschka Fischer set up a historical inquiry commission. In his memoirs, Fischer has argued that his decision was influenced by the events of 1968.

U ovom radu problematika ljudskih prava izložena je u tri osnovna dela. Prvi deo zahvata u istorijsku dimenziju ovog pitanja. Dnigi deo obuhvata liberalno političku filozofiju ljudskih prava. Treći deo rada odnosi se na aktuelnu dimenziju ovog pitanja naročito dominantnu u drugoj polovini ovog veka.

Politische Freiheit beinhaltet mehr als Befreiung von Unfreiheit. Diesem Grundgedanken folgend erörtern die Beiträge in diesem interdisziplinären Band die Voraussetzungen, Implikationen und Gefährdungen politischer Freiheit. In Auseinandersetzung mit Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Martin Heidegger, Karl Jaspers, Immanuel Kant, Georg Lukács, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre und anderen werden Themenkomplexe wie die Beziehung zwischen Freiheit und Freundschaft, das Verhältnis von Kapitalismus und Demokratie sowie Zugehörigkeit, Subjektkonstruktion und Machtverhältnisse ebenso untersucht wie das Verhältnis von nationalen Erinnerungsgemeinschaften und dem geschichtlichen Bewusstsein Europas.

Anlässlich Ossietzkys 70. Todestages hat sich die Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg noch einmal mit der Namensgebung auseinandergesetzt. In einer Vortragsveranstaltung nimmt Gerhard Kraiker, Zeitzeuge des Namensstreits und Mitherausgeber der Schriften Ossietzkys, mit seinen Ausführungen nicht nur einen Rückblick vor. Er überrascht auch mit seiner Überlegung, den Namen der Universität von den kommenden Generationen hinterfragen zu lassen und zur Disposition zu stellen. Gunilla Budde berichtet von ihren Geschichtsstudenten, die nach der heutigen Bedeutung Ossietzkys befragt worden waren und beleuchtet zugleich auch Wertungen, die Historiker zu Ossietzky noch vor nicht allzu langer Zeit abgegeben haben.

Anläßlich des 100. Geburtstages von Carl von Ossietzky veranstaltete die Universität Oldenburg ein Symposion, bei dem Historiker, Politik- und Literaturwissenschaftler Forschungsergebnisse zum Leben und Werk Ossietzkys sowie zu seinem politisch-kulturellen Umfeld austauschten. Ein Schwerpunkt des Symposions war die Nobelpreiskampagne für Ossietzky, zu der in diesem Band auch Beiträge der Zeitzeugen Willy Brandt und Finn Lie, der letzte Besucher Ossietzkys vor seinem Tod, aufgenommen sind. - Ossietzky, Carl von
