Zwanzig Jahre Irakkrieg: Ein Land auf der Suche nach dem Staat
Full text linkWas sind die Grundlagen eines politischen Systems? Nach dem Sturz von Saddam Hussein sollte die Teilung der Macht zwischen Schia und Sunna dem Irak Frieden und Demokratie garantieren. Doch seither dominieren Krieg und Terror.
Quels sont les fondements d’un système politique? Après la chute de Saddam Hussein, le partage du pouvoir entre sunnites et chiites devait garantir à l’Irak la paix et la démocratie. Mais c’est la guerre et la terreur qui l’emportent
The collection of letters addressed to D.F.L. von Schlechtendal in the University herbarium in Halle (Saale), Germany (HAL)
Full text linkD.F.L. von Schlechtendal (1794–1866) was one of the most important botanists of the 19th century. From 1833 to 1866 he was professor of botany at the University Halle-Wittenberg, where his collection of some 70 000 plant specimens is kept. Schlechtendal described more than 1600 new taxa, including 78 genera, mostly from the New World. Schlechtendal’s dense network of scientific contacts is documented by his correspondence, comprising some 5600 letters he received from about 500 persons, including many famous contemporary botanists, natural scientists, travelers and plant collectors. The letters mostly refer to publications and scientific questions concerning the journals ,Linnaea’ and ,Botanische Zeitung’ edited by Schlechtendal. In particular, the letters of scientists dealing with African, Central and South American, and Australian plants are an important source of taxonomic information. The letters are mostly written in the old German Kurrent script, the ink is fading and the paper is disintegrating. We therefore have started to transliterate all letters (54 % completed), index and digitize them and make them available online. Here we explain their importance, highlighting letters dealing with the plants from Humboldt’s and Bonpland’s travels and from the correspondence with R.A. Philippi(Chile, 1808–1904) and H. Christ (Switzerland, 1833–1933)
The genomic uses of a 200 year-old herbarium – Pitfalls and potentials
Full text linkMajor herbaria, such as the one hosted by the botanical garden of Geneva (G) have played a central role in the development of plant systematics over the last 200 years. Today, advances in high throughput sequencing technologies (HTS) together with the development of targeted capture, where DNA extracts are enriched for preselected loci using hybridization probes prior to sequencing, have considerably improved the use of herbaria as a source of genetic data, opening new avenues in the study of plant biodiversity
Islam et démocratie
No full textDie Bezeichnungen, welche der Westen zu den islamischen Ländern pflegen kann, ist unter anderem geprägt von den politischen Systemen in diesen Ländern. Der Autor zeigt auf, wie in vielen islamischen Ländern - ausgehend von europäischen Vorbildern - versucht wurde, demokratische Systeme aufzubauen und stellt dar, warum sie oftmals scheitern
