Biological richness of a large urban cemetery in Berlin. Results of a multi-taxon approach.

2016

Abstract Background Urban green spaces can harbor a considerable species richness of plants and animals. A few studies on single species groups indicate important habitat functions of cemeteries, but this land use type is clearly understudied compared to parks. Such data are important as they (i) illustrate habitat functions of a specific, but ubiquitous urban land-use type and (ii) may serve as a basis for management approaches. New information We sampled different groups of plants and animals in the Weißensee Jewish Cemetery in Berlin (WJC) which is one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Europe. With a total of 608 species of plants and animals, this first multi-taxon survey revealed a c…

Psychological distress and psychiatric disorders in primary health care patients in East and West Germany 1 year after the fall of the Berlin Wall

1999

The reunification of Germany confronted citizens in East and West Germany with many changes in their lives. These changes may be considered as critical life events. Especially for those in East Germany, life circumstances drastically changed, and individuals were increasingly required to adopt and develop coping capabilities. In addition to new opportunities and freedom, there was threatening uncertainty about the future. Theories of life events and stress postulate that threat events have an impact on human well-being. It was expected that there would be an increased rate of psychiatric morbidity after unification, especially in the eastern part of Germany.An international study by the WHO…

History of education and the struggle for intellectual liberation in post-Soviet Baltic space after the fall of the Berlin Wall

2014

This study on a “new” history of education is written from the perspective of a participant in the process of discarding Soviet intellectual and physical boundaries. The fall of the Berlin Wall has, over the past two decades, become a continuous process in post-Soviet societies, when the now liberated historians of education were faced with a new challenge, namely integration into the newly opened world. The only allowed theory, Marxism-Leninism, reduced historians of education to superficial methodology and its trivialisation. However, the collapse of the USSR did not immediately result in new theoretical concepts, because historians were busy discovering fresh facts in newly accessed arch…

Deine Sonia: A Reading from a Burned Letter by Reinhard Bölling, Translated by D. E. Rowe

2018

It was in January 1990. Finally, just two months after the Berlin Wall had fallen, I had the opportunity to spend a few days at the Mittag-Leffler Institute in Djursholm, a small town just northeast of Stockholm. The palatial villa that today houses the Institute is the former home of Gosta Mittag-Leffler (1846–1927), and on entering its doorway I felt as if I had taken a step back into the world in which he lived. For me, the Institute’s single greatest attraction lay in its archival holdings, and particularly the extensive correspondence that linked Mittag-Leffler with many of the era’s leading mathematicians. A former student of Karl Weierstrass (1815–1897), Mittag-Leffler sought to pres…

Celebrations were an important element in the functioning of royal and princely courts in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They added splendor to the residences in which they were held and demonstrated the status of rulers: well-directed festivities spoke of their organisers’ political status. Such events not only took place in the closed courtyards of palaces, but also in the open air, which guaranteed a larger audience and made it possible to invite the media. Such events were also observed by foreign diplomats, who described them in their reports. This type of information can be found in the correspondence of Philip Plantamour, secretary of the English Ambassador Georg…

Pilsētas upuri. Lielpilsētas atveidojums eiropas literatūra XIX gadsimta beigās - XX gadsimta sākumā

2018

Bakalaura darbā tiek apskatīts globālās pilsētas aspekts un tās spēcīgā ietekmi uz iedzīvotājiem un atsevišķiem indivīdiem, balstoties uz Alfrēda Deblīna romāna “Berlīne. Aleksanderplatca” un Fjodora Dostojevska romāna “Noziegums un sods”. Darba mērķis ir pierādīt, ka iepriekš minētie aspekti ir savstarpēji saistīti un apstiprina darba hipotēzi, ka globālai pilsētas ir nenovēršamas sekas uz cilvēka likteni. Šajā darbā uzsvars tiek likts ne tikai uz šo aspektu īpatnībām, bet arī uz to funkcionalitāti. Bakalaura darbs apstiprina pieņēmumu tam, ka cilvēks ir kļuvis par pilsētas upuri. To apliecina bakalaura darbā aplūkotie Deblīna un Dostojevska romāni.
