Variabilité de la température entre 1951 et 2014 en Allemagne associée à l’évolution de la floraison des pommiers.
2018
Apple tree bloom onset in Germany has advanced by 2 days/decade in 1951-2014 and by 3 days/decade in 1988-2014, behaving similarly in respect to its evolution since 1951 and its sensitivity to temperature to other species’ phenological spring phases. The evolution however was not linear; by conducting a split moving-window dissimilarity analysis (SMWDA) we were able to detect the “break-period” 1987-1989 which coincides with a breakpoint that has been identified in the phases of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). We observed distinct spatial patterns with apple bloom advancing from southwest to northeast and, most interestingly, a longitudinal gradient in the trend of apple bloom onset r…

Quo vadis nanomedicine?
2015
The interdisciplinary workshop ‘Quo Vadis Nanomedicine?’ was held on 10–11 April 2014 at the University of Exeter (Exeter, UK), coorganized by the Schumpeter-Research Group ‘Innovations in Nanomedicine’, funded by the VolkswagenStiftung at Exeter University, and the Sonderforschungsbereich (STB; collaborative research centre) 1066 ‘Nanodimensional Polymer Therapeutics for Tumor Therapy’, funded by the German Research Council (DFG) at the Johannes Gutenberg-University (Mainz, Germany). This international workshop brought together scientists, philosophers and social scientists in order to reflect, discuss and rethink the practices, concepts, methods, models and metaphors, as well as the medi…
Validation of Semantic Analyses of Unstructured Medical Data for Research Purposes
2019
BACKGROUND: In secondary data there are often unstructured free texts. The aim of this study was to validate a text mining system to extract unstructured medical data for research purposes. METHODS: From a radiological department, 1,000 out of 7,102 CT findings were randomly selected. These were manually divided into defined groups by 2 physicians. For automated tagging and reporting, the text analysis software Averbis Extraction Platform (AEP) was used. Special features of the system are a morphological analysis for the decomposition of compound words as well as the recognition of noun phrases, abbreviations and negated statements. Based on the extracted standardized keywords, findings rep…
Sakrament pokuty i pojednania w katechezie niemieckiej
2016
Na temat sakramentu pokuty i pojednania można prowadzić rozważania na różnych płaszczyznach (teologicznej, pedagogicznej, psychologicznej, społecznej). W obecnym artykule podjęto problem przygotowania do korzystania z sakramentu pokuty i pojednania, które dokonuje się w ramach „katechezy niemieckiej”. Termin ten jest szeroki i obejmuje przygotowanie do sakramentu pokuty w Niemczech, w Austrii, Szwajcarii czy Luksemburgu, czyli w krajach niemieckojęzycznych. Kontekstem tej wypowiedzi jest pogłębiający się kryzys wiary w społeczeństwie wielokulturowym, kryzys funkcjonowania Kościoła (ogólnie instytucji i wspólnot religijnych), kryzys znajomości, rozumienia i korzystania z sakramentów, a także…
Problem konfesyjnego nauczania religii w Niemczech
2016
Z punktu widzenia wychowania religijnego zagadnienie konfesyjności jest bardzo istotne. Według Dyrektorium ogólnego o katechizacji: „Charakter wyznaniowy nauczania religii w szkole, prowadzonego przez Kościół zgodnie ze sposobami i formami ustalonymi w poszczególnych krajach, jest więc nieodzowną gwarancją daną rodzinom i uczniom, którzy wybierają takie nauczanie”. Współcześnie niewielu Niemców zajmuje problem różnic wyznaniowych pomiędzy chrześcijanami, choć ciągle wielu identyfikuje się z chrześcijaństwem, z jego zwyczajami czy przykazaniami. Wychowanie religijne opiera się na konfesyjności, na konkretnym odniesieniu do wspólnoty wierzących, zarówno w znaczeniu osobowym (świadectwo nauczy…
A Specific Radioimmunoassay for the Determination of Low Quantities of Indole-3-acetic Acid in Spruce Needles of Healthy and Damaged Trees
1988
Summary The aim of the present investigation was to develop a radioimmunoassay for the quantification of indole-3-acetic acid in needles of Picea abies in damaged and phenotypically healthy trees. Phenols, lipophilic substances or compounds with cross-reactivity had to be separated from the extracts in several purification steps. Measurements were carried out between May and October 1986 on trees from two spruce plantations. Marked differences were found in IAA content in needles of healthy and damaged trees. In most cases the needles of the damaged trees contain lower endogenous IAA levels. The auxin levels also depended on the age of the tree, the year of needle formation, and the vegetat…
Nascita e sviluppi del concetto antropologico di cultura nei paesi di lingua tedesca
2022
Austrian and German anthropological traditions are considered in view of the influence they had on global anthropology. The chapter is built round the centrality of the anthropological notion of culture and cultural dynamics. The particularistic and relativist notion of culture is in fact believed to have emerged from in Germany from the XVIII century, where intellectuals have juxtaposed the term Kultur to Zivilisation. Within German anthropology, universalistic perspectives on culture have continued through the Nineteenth Century, as in the evolutionary approach of Gustav Klemm and Johann Jakob Bachofen. A different form of cultural universalism was introduced by Adolf Bastian with his the…
Children's exploration of the concepts of home and belonging: Capturing views from five European countries.
2021
Understanding one's sense of belonging is a central part of identity formation and self-awareness; feeling safe somewhere, with specific people is identified as a basic human need. This paper explores the ideas of children from three age groups in five different European as they discussed the concepts of ‘home’ and ‘belonging’. Findings showed that the children's ideas could be organised into six interrelated aspects: Spatiality, Materiality, Multiplicity, Social Relations, Affect, and Dislocation. Whilst there were differences in the ways that the children conceptualised home across the classes, even the youngest children were able to describe their ideas using metaphors and abstract conce…
Prawicowy ekstremizm jako zagrożenie dla demokratycznych standardów w Niemczech
2020
Right-wing extremism in Germany is hardly a new phenomenon, but it has been changing in recent years. Right-wing extremists are becoming morę aggressive and the number of violent crimes they commit is increasing. Right-wing extremists are predominantly against immigration to Germany and Islamization. They are demanding substantial changes in the asylum law and glorifying German national values. Formal and informal groups of right-wing extremists take advantage of the fears of Islamie terror- ism, and they support hostility towards immigrants - primarily Muslims. The stronghold of the right-wing extremism is in the Eastern States of the German Federal Republic. In the paper, the Author is ru…
