Through the analysis of the predetermined verbal forms of the Povest 'vremennych let (11th-12th centuries), this book sheds light on the aspectual meanings of verbs with prefix, in order to verify the degree of evolution of the Slavic-oriental aspectual system in the most ancient phase of its attestation. The study on prefixes and the ways in which they interact with the actional characteristics of the starting verbs allows us to identify the consequences of prefixing at the lexical, actional and aspectual level. Terminative verbs with prefix acquire the resultative value ("protoperfective") and are subjected, in part, to secondary suffixation, a phenomenon that will contribute to the grammaticalization of the aspectual category in Russian and other Slavic languages.

In der Abhandlung wird erstmals eine Gattungsgeschichte des deutschen Briefromans von den Anfängen im 18. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart präsentiert und als eine Geschichte der Subjektivation beschrieben. Mediale, gesellschaftspolitische und kulturelle Transformationen wirkten wie Katalysatoren auf die Form und Gestalt der Briefromane ein, was insbesondere an den E-Mail- und Facebook- Romanen im 21. Jahrhundert deutlich wird. Briefe, E-Mails, Foreneinträge, Posts und ähnliches geben zugleich als »Egodokumente« Aufschluss über die Konstitution des schreibenden Ichs, dessen Probleme, Gedanken und Gefühle. Die Äußerungen eines Ichs in einem Briefroman werden als Substrat genereller Probleme und Bedürfnisse eines Subjekts zu einer bestimmten Zeit interpretiert und die Transformationen der jeweiligen Subjektkonstruktionen untersucht. Zurückgegriffen wird dabei auf Butlers Begriff der »Subjektivation « und Reckwitz’ »Theorie der Subjektkulturen«. Subjektivation wird in der Abhandlung darüber hinaus als Ziel im bildungsorientierten Deutschunterricht aufgefasst. Es wird ein Modell für einen subjektivationsorientierten Deutschunterricht entworfen, das Persönlichkeitsentwicklung und Identitätsfindung mit dem literarischen Lernen verbindet.

Der gegenwärtige Klimawandel ist menschengemacht. Bei allem Erschrecken darüber birgt diese Erkenntnis jedoch den Ansatz zur Bewältigung der Krise: Was von Menschen gemacht ist, kann der Mensch auch ändern. Die Ursachen des Klimawandels sind eng verknüpft mit dem Ressourcenverbrauch einer einseitig wachstumsorientierten Wirtschaftsweise und der ihr korrespondierenden gesellschaftlichen Mentalität. Sie fordern uns heraus, die Strukturen, die unserer Rechtsordnung zu Grunde liegen, neu zu denken."Climate Justice" lässt sich aus verschiedenen Perspektiven angehen. In unserer Gesellschaft dominiert eine anthropozentrische Sichtweise, der sich in verschiedenen Spielarten physiozentrische Positionen entgegen stellen. Vorliegender Band vereint Vorträge, die im Jahr 2022 auf einer Sommerakademie der Juristenfakultät der Universität Leipzig zum Thema "Ökologische Transformation von Gesellschaft und Recht" in Halle/Saale gehalten wurden und die die Stärken und Schwächen dieser Sichtweisen diskutieren. Die mit dem Thema der Tagung benannte Herausforderung wird aus wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher, juristischer und (rechts-)philosophischer Sicht angegangen. Die Vorträge finden ihre Ergänzung durch weiterführende Beiträge, die wichtige Aspekte unseres Verhaltens zu Klima und Umwelt und der Lösung von Problemen in diesem Zusammenhang mit ebenso interdisziplinärer Herangehensweise vertiefen.

This open access volume contains a selection of papers presented at three different IAG Symposia held in 2022: GGHS2022 – Gravity, Geoid, and Height Systems 2022, Austin, TX, United States of America, September 12 – 14, 2022; IAG Commission 4 – Positioning and Applications, Potsdam, Germany, September 5 – 8, 2022; and REFAG2022 – Reference Frames for Applications in Geosciences, Thessaloniki, Greece, October 17 – 20, 2022. Two of these three conferences were planned for 2020 or 2021, but had to be postponed due to the COVID19 pandemic. They therefore became an important opportunity for the global geodesy community to rebuild professional networks and to resume face-to-face interaction. Scientists from around the world were delighted to once again gather together to present their research progress and findings, and discuss scientific issues.

This interdisciplinary study explores the controversially discussed question of whether and how geographical and cultural knowledge from the Arab-Islamic world was utilised by European mapmakers. The contextual analysis of cartographic representations – from diagrammatic maps of the three known continents and the seven climes to detailed world maps and Portolan charts – as well as accompanying source texts from the 10th to the beginning of the 15th century demonstrates the complex dynamics of the transmission of knowledge, which was neither linear nor continuous. Following the spatial turn, maps are understood as hybrid, socio-cultural cultural sources that conceptualise space and transmit cultural world views, which were used to pursue a variety of interests.

The essay seeks to emphasize how post-World War II Italian pedagogy was renewed by opening it up to considering the educational potential of social contexts, thereby managing to connect with the most vital currents in the international debate, which were interested in deepening the school/society nexus. It grasps in Vico an extraordinary precursor of themes explored and clarified in recent times. With this choice it wants to indicate the existence of a carsic current in national reflection of great importance, to be studied, deepened and claimed in order to escape the risks of foreignness that so many of today's pedagogical studies manifest. He points out in the research of the so-called "School of Florence" the design of some very fruitful trajectories in the field of social and community pedagogy, grasping in this its specific contribution to the renewal of Italian pedagogy.

It is beyond dispute that both China and the European Union stand to gain from promoting low-carbon development through the dissemination of clean and renewable energy sources, as this inevitably leads to increased environmental protection. The depletion of fossil fuel resources and the accompanying changes in the global energy mix make Europe and China not only competitors in the global economic race, but also nolens volens partners. Their pragmatic partnership is characterized, on the one hand, by the need to take action to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and, on the other, by the desire to minimize the negative environmental impact of their use. Hence, the existing and emerging cooperation between the two actors, while challenging for a number of reasons, is not only an attempt to set up channels to exchange vital information, but also an exercise in setting the standards under which further cooperation will be forged.

Wie sind die Menschenrechte heute angemessen zu verstehen? Sich ausschließlich auf ihren rechtlichen Gehalt oder ethisch-moralischen Anspruch zu konzentrieren, genügt dafür offenbar nicht. Notwendig ist es vielmehr, die Dimension des Politischen, die diesen Rechten eigen ist, systematisch in den Blick zu nehmen: Erst im Feld der sozialen Praxis und in den historisch bezeugten Erfahrungen handelnder Individuen wird ein moralisch-rechtlicher Anspruch konkret greifbar. Am Beispiel des zeitgenössischen Umgangs mit dem Erbe des französischen Kolonialkrieges in Algerien setzt Daniel Bogner Theorie und Praxis, Normativität und Geschichte konsequent miteinander in Beziehung. Ergebnis ist ein neues Verständnis der Menschenrechte - jenseits der Sackgassen einer rein historischen oder exklusiv geltungstheoretischen Perspektive.

From the monarchical terror of the Middle Ages to the mangled Europe of the Twenty-first Century, A People's History of Modern Europe tracks the history of the continent through the deeds of those whom mainstream history tries to forget. Europe provided the perfect conditions for a great number of political revolutions from below. The German peasant wars of Thomas Müntzer, the bourgeoisie revolutions of the eighteenth century through to the rise of the industrial worker in England and the turbulent journey of the Russian Soviets, the role of the European working class throughout the Cold War, students in 1968 and through to the present day, where we continue to fight to forge an alternative to the barbaric economic system. With sections focusing on the role of women, this history sweeps away the tired platitudes of the privileged which our current understanding is based upon, and provides an opportunity to see our history differently.

This monograph focuses on development of inorganic nanomaterials for removal of metallic species from the aqueous environment. General synthetic methods to prepare such materials are lacking. This book investigates problems of controlled synthesis of these materials and the effect of their morphological characteristics on their sorption capacity. This book is of interest to researchers and scientists working with inorganic synthesis and properties of sorption materials.

The argumentative point of departure of this scholarly book is the common conviction of specialists in the field of education in South Africa that the national education system is not at a satisfactory level – in both the academic and the public discourse. Such allegations are made and, frequently, stronger adjectives than ‘non-satisfactory’ are used. Results of international test series in which South Africa has participated, such as the 2015 TIMSS tests, confirm the negative verdicts found in the (public and scholarly) discourse. This book aims to argue that although the lack of performance could be attributed to a multiplicity of factors, one factor that can make a difference in the achievement levels obtained by learners in schools is leadership. The book demonstrates that a particular problem of both the scholarly and the public discourse on education in South Africa is an overtone of defeatism or resignation, blaming all ills in the education system and educational institutions on historical legacies and/or contextual factors (such as socio-economic deprivation in the catchment areas of schools) or poor resources and infrastructure. This collected work was inspired by a recently published spate of articles on top-performing schools (including top-performing schools in rural communities), in which it was demonstrated that good leadership can overcome such contextual and other challenges. The book unpacks the issue of leadership in South African schools from a variety of perspectives, thus contributing to the development of the scholarly discourse on Educational Leadership in South Africa. The target audience of the book is scholars of Educational Leadership. The research reported in the chapters draw on a wide range of methodologies, including empirical (survey) research (questionnaires and interviews), critical literature surveys, and the comparative method.

F. Scott Fitzgerald once said: »Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy.« In the 1990s, nobody fell deeper than O.J. Simpson. Once considered a national treasure, the athlete was accused of brutally slaying his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman on June 12, 1994. Within days, the media and public developed an unprecedented obsession with the story, turning a murder investigation and trial into a sensationalized reality show. Tatjana Neubauer examines the mediatization, deliberate manipulation, and the simplification of popular criminal trials for profit on television. She demonstrates that TV conflated legal proceedings into entertainment programming by commodifying events, people, and places.

A remembrance of a figure who set the standard in Italy: Alberto Magnaghi. A complex but dutiful remembrance of an intellectual who had an impact on those who study the territory and who deals with the difficult but fascinating subject of ecoterritorialism. A memory, also, of an important human relationship.

Sind die bisher eingesetzten Früherkennungssysteme für die Gestaltung beruflicher Bildungsprozesse und für die Berufsbildgestaltung geeignet? Wie muss ein Früherkennungsinstrumentarium gestaltet sein, um langfristig Qualifikationsbedarf erkennen zu können? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen analysiert der Autor die vorhandenen Früherkennungsverfahren, um deren Eignung für die Identifizierung von Qualifikationsbedarf und die Gestaltung beruflicher Bildungsprozesse zu prüfen.
