A high-quality annually laminated sequence from Lake Belau, Northern Germany: Revised chronology and ist implications for palynological and tephrochr…
2012
International audience; The annually laminated record of Lake Belau offers an exceptional opportunity to investigate with high temporal resolution Holocene environmental change, aspects of climate history and human impact on the landscape. A new chronology based on varve counts, 14C-datings and heavy metal history has been established, covering the last 9400 years. Based on multiple varve counting on two core sequences, the easily countable laminated section spans about 7850 varve years (modelled age range c. 9430 to 1630 cal. BP). Not all of the record is of the same quality but approximately 69% of the varves sequence is classified to be of high quality and only c. 5% of low quality. The …
Can football heal the wounds of the past? The image of Poland in the German media on the occasion of the European football championship
2016
In 2012, Poland and Ukraine organized the European football championship. In Germany, where football has a prominent place in the media, the newspapers seized the occasion to shed a new light on Poland. Indeed, when the articles concerned Poland, the main topic in the German press always seemed to be the diplomatic relationships, which are scarred by the history and never-ending political controversies. This article shows how a major sporting event can trigger an opportunity for the general press to present a well-known geographic space beyond traditional points of views and clichés.
La crise des réfugiés de 2014/2015 sur la base de la résilience sociolinguistique. Une analyse qualitative et comparative entre l’Allemagne et la Fra…
2016
International audience; This article presents preliminary findings of a second enlarged exploratory study embedded in a comprehensive research project in the field of sociolinguistics. Our theoretical approach is based on the resilience concept which we adapted to the field of sociolinguistic. This approach allows us to explore at the same time the co-evolution and co-adaption of interlocutors and language especially by facing a crisis. This analysis shows that especially in Germany the ongoing refugee crisis exacerbates heavily political tensions. The increasing use of « Counter speech » in order to respond to « Hate speech » leads to an « evolutionary and adaptive spiral » in Germany, whe…
Uwarunkowania doktryny obronnej Niemiec i Polski na przykładzie polskiego i niemieckiego kontyngentu wojskowego w wojnie w Afganistanie
2018
Celem artykułu jest ukazanie różnic w podejściu do zagadnienia misji wojskowych przez polskie i niemieckie władze, co pozwoliło na zaobserwowanie znaczących różnic w prowadzeniu polityki zagranicznej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem bezpieczeństwa, przez oba państwa. W artykule szczególna uwaga poświęcona została zagadnieniu realizacji zobowiązań sojuszniczych wobec NATO i Stanów Zjednoczonych w obliczu konfliktu w Afganistanie.
Extensive Evaluation of a Diffusion Denuder Technique for the Quantification of Atmospheric Stable and Radioactive Molecular Iodine
2010
In this paper we present the evaluation and optimization of a new approach for the quantification of gaseous molecular iodine (I(2)) for laboratory- and field-based studies and its novel application for the measurement of radioactive molecular iodine. alpha-Cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) in combination with (129)I(-) is shown to be an effective denuder coating for the sampling of gaseous I(2) by the formation of an inclusion complex. The entrapped (127)I(2) together with the (129)I(-) spike in the coating is then released and derivatized to 4-iodo-N,N-dimethylaniline (4-I-DMA) for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The (127)I(2) collected can be differentiated from the (129)I(-…
An improved high yield method to obtain microsatellite genotypes from red deer antlers up to 200 years old.
2013
Analysis of DNA from older samples, such as museum specimen, is a promising approach to studying genetics of populations and ecological processes across several generations. Here, we present a method for extracting high quality nuclear DNA for microsatellite analysis from antlers of red deer (Cervus elaphus). The genotyping of individuals was based on nine microsatellite loci. Because the amount of DNA found in antlers was high, we could reduce the amount of sample and chemicals used and shorten the decalcification time in comparison to other methods. Using these methods, we obtained genotypes from antlers up to 200 years old.
Grzech, wina i przebaczenie Refleksje na podstawie stanowiska Kościoła Ewangelickiego w Niemczech (EKD)
2022
Czym jest grzech, wina i przebaczenie? Te kwestie zostały poruszone w opublikowanym w 2020 r. dokumencie Kościoła Ewangelickiego w Niemczech z perspektywy protestanckiej antropologii. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest podjęcie refleksji wokół najważniejszych idei tego dokumentu EKD, jakie wyznaczają jego poszczególne części: (1) grzech oraz fenomen grzeszenia; (2) zagubiony człowiek i odpowiedź Biblii; (3) miejsca doświadczenia winy, przebaczenia oraz pojednania. Refleksje te dotykają niewątpliwie podstawowego przesłania Reformacji, jakim jest usprawiedliwienie grzesznika. Wiele z tych przemyśleń może być bardzo pouczające w kontekście toczących się obecnie dyskusji na temat przebaczenia i po…
The accumulation of proline in needles of damaged spruces
1985
Im Rahmen einer vergleichenden physiologischen und cytologischen Charakterisierung geschadigter und schadsymptomfreier Fichten am naturlichen Standort wurden im Spatsommer und Herbst 1984 erste Untersuchungen zum Wasserhaushalt der Baume durchgefuhrt. Messungen des Gesamtwasserpotentials, des osmotischen Potentials, des Gehaltes an verschiedenen Kohlenhydraten und an der freien Aminosaure Prolin deuten auf Veranderungen im Wasserhaushalt geschadigter Fichten. Besonders signifikante Ergebnisse waren beim Prolin zu verzeichnen. Wahrend bei den symptomfreien Fichten der Prolingehalt der Nadeln ungeachtet des Standortes und der Witterungsverhaltnisse konstant niedrig lag, trat bei Schadigung ei…
Possible association of sudden infant death with partial complement C4 deficiency revealed by post-mortem DNA typing of HLA class II and III genes
1989
Based on evidence of an increased rate of respiratory infections in sudden infant death (SID) infants as well as the observation of familial occurrence, we analysed in a retrospective study class II and class II genes of the major histocompatibility complex in 40 cases of SID by Southern blot analysis of DNA obtained post mortem from tissue samples. In 24 cases, the parents were interviewed and confirmatory human lymphocyte antigen (HLA) and DNA typing was carried out. Using HLA-DR beta and -DQ beta probes, no evidence of an abnormal HLA-DR frequency distribution in SID infants was detected (P = 0.97). Using DNA probes for the tandemly arranged complement C4 and steroid 21-hydroxylase genes…
Phenolic Compounds in Needles of Norway Spruce Trees in Relation to Novel Forest Decline I. Studies on Trees from a Site in the Northern Black Forest
1992
Summary Contents of selected phenolic compounds in needles of Norway spruce trees (Picea abies) from the Black Forest were measured using a HPLC-technique elaborated for serial studies in forest decline research. Measurements on needles that were harvested on several dates during two growing seasons gave no hint of seasonal variations in the concentrations of the studied phenolic compounds. Values for picein demonstrate an average decrease in the needles of severely damaged trees compared with the still undamaged ones, but the results are impaired by strong individual variations among the single trees. p-Hydroxyacetophenone was found in only very low amounts showing no constant differences …
