Working Paper 45: Strategic anti-corruption communications: Guidance for behaviour change interventions
Full text linkThis Working Paper is intended to guide practitioners who are seeking to complement conventional anti-corruption measures by adopting a behavioural communications approach.
It aims to connect a typology of anti-corruption messages with behavioural change theories, and discuss their impact.
Subsequently, it suggests practical implications for designing anti-corruption communication as part of behaviour change interventions. This includes outlining how to develop a robust Theory of Change as a means to enhance the success of such efforts.
The guidance is based on a review of seven key topically pertinent studies that have been recently published.
This publication is prepared as guidance for the USAID Indonesia Integrity Initiative (USAID INTEGRITAS)
Les réfugiés afghans face aux «visas imaginaires» suisses
Full text linkA l’instar d’autres pays d’Europe, la Suisse a exprimé son effroi quand les Talibans ont repris le pouvoir en Afghanistan. Mais les civils afghans fuyant les violences n’ont été accueillis que par une porte entrouverte.
Als die Taliban in Afghanistan wieder die Macht übernahmen, brachte die Schweiz wie andere europäische Länder ihr Entsetzen zum Ausdruck. Doch wurden die Menschen, die vor der Gewalt aus Afghanistan in die Schweiz flohen, nur halbherzig empfangen
Caspar Bauhin’s life (1560–1624) – Academic career, achievements as a botanist and his herbarium
Full text linkCaspar Bauhin was born 1560 in Basel as a refugee child from a distinguished Protestant family which escaped persecution of the Huguenots in France. He studied medicine and botany at the University in Basel, in Italy and France and became the first professor for medical Anatomy and Botany in Basel. He is the founder of one of the first Botanical Gardens north of the Alps, and the first to offer regularly botanical excursions and courses in systematics and taxonomy for medical students. In his many publications, C. Bauhin aimed to give a systematic overview of all c. 5600 plant species known at the time, based on meticulous comparison and descriptions by himself, renaming them by distinguishing clearly between genus and species and by adding the synonyms of other authors. Thereby Caspar Bauhin was paving the way for botany as an independent scientific discipline and for Linnaeus, who heavily relied on him for the further development of botanical systematics and nomenclature more than a century later. His herbarium, which today is kept at the University of Basel, served him as working tool and included more than 4000 species, which he collected himself or through exchange with a wide net of correspondents. Not the least of Bauhin’s achievements is the publication in 1622 of one of the first comprehensive local floras, which until today is used as a reference for floristic changes in the surroundings of Basel
Ampelographic (grapevine) collection in 230-year-old Herbarium Wolnyanum (Sremski Karlovci, Serbia)
Full text linkThe herbarium collections in Southeast Europe were mostly founded in the 19th century or later. However, the oldest collection in Serbia dates back to the 18th century. It was founded in the Habsburg Monarchy as a school herbarium in the first Serbian gymnasium in Sremski Karlovci, where it is still kept today. The founder was Andreas Wolny (1759–1827), first professor of geology, mineralogy, botany and zoology (and various other subjects), and soon after professor and director of the gymnasium. He worked and lived in Sremski Karlovci in the period from 1793 to 1816
Citizenship, Time and Crisis
Full text linkCitizenship is a specific form of social and political closure, thus defining, in a dialectic relation, the changing “shape” of both political subjects and forms of government/statehood. Looking at citizenship as an institution of political subjectivity and statehood, I would like to raise two questions concerning its relation to (historical) time. How does the dual function of citizenship as a form of social closure and a tool for self emancipation change in times of crisis? What is the relationship between citizenship and moments of historical ruptures, be it wars, revolutions, or times of political transformation? Does citizenship contribute to shaping the temporal dimension of statehood on the one hand and of moments of collective or individual self-emancipation? Citizenship is simultaneously a discursive and a material structure. The hypothesis I want to bring forward is that it shapes our understanding of historical time according to these dimensions.Citizenship is a specific form of social and political closure, thus defining, in a dialectic relation, the changing “shape” of both political subjects and forms of government/statehood.

Method and Subject: Advances Using Digital Methods in Global History
Full text linkResearch activities in the social sciences and humanities have traditionally conceived digital outputs in terms of databases and websites. Practically, most of these are still implemented using SQL, table-based, data structures and synchronic web technologies. However, the constant evolution of software means that browser functionality and security arrangements are constantly changing. As a result, few digital research outputs, except published literature, remain accessible for more than a few years. Recent progress with research data infrastructures is described, which has the potential to improve the sustainability of research investments. This article presents new standards-based annotation techniques, developed in the biodiversity community, which have been applied to global history research questions. Open repository software platforms supporting this ‘scientific treatment’ approach can now generate technology-independent data resources – supporting long-term reuse by the global community. Promoting institutional change to adopt these developments is discussed, so that costs of data stewardship can be made forecast-able.Research activities in the social sciences and humanities have traditionally conceived digital outputs in terms of databases and websites.

Die Freie Strasse – Ein Weg durch 2000 Jahre Basler Geschichte: Vorbericht zu den laufenden Grabungen am Marktplatz und der Freien Strasse
Full text linkDie neuen Ausgrabungen am Marktplatz, in der Freien Strasse und ihren Nebengassen erbrachten viele neue Erkenntnisse zur Basler Stadtgeschichte in einem zentralen, archäologisch bisher nur vage bekannten Gebiet. Im wissenschaftlichen Bericht werden die vorläufigen Ergebnisse erstmals zusammengestellt. Während im oberen Teil der Freien Strasse eine römische Strasse am Hangfuss nachgewiesen ist, dürfte in der unteren Hälfte der mittelalterliche Strassenbau und die angrenzende Besiedlung im 9./10. Jahrhundert eingesetzt und sich kontinuierlich entwickelt haben. Mehrere übereinanderliegende Strassenkörper und Reste von Gebäuden konnten freigelegt werden.
Das Inventar aus einem Haus, das gegen Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts am Marktplatz abbrannte, gewährt einen faszinierenden Einblick in den spätmittelalterlichen Alltag. Objekte aus früheren Grabungen wie im Spiegelhof (UMIS) und beim Amt für Umwelt und Energie (AUE) unterstreichen den gewerblichen Kontext der neuen Entdeckungen. Ein Katalog mit ausgewählten Funden, die ab 18. Mai 2024 im Museum Kleines Klingental ausgestellt werden, ergänzt den Bericht
