Goodbye Bismarck? : the foreign policy of contemporary Germany
No full textThis essay examines the foreign policy discourse in contemporary Germany. In reviewing a growing body of publications by German academics and foreign policy analysts, it identifies five schools of thought based on different worldviews, assumptions about international politics, and policy recommendations. These schools of thought are then related to, first, actual preferences held by German policymakers and the public more generally and, second, to a small set of grand strategies that Germany could pursue in the future. It argues that the spectrum of likely choices is narrow, with the two most probable-the strategies of "Wider West" and "Carolingian Europe"---continuing the multilateral and integrationist orientation of the old Federal Republic. These findings are contrasted with diverging assessments in the non-German professional literature.Finally, the essay sketches avenues for future research by suggesting ways for broadening the study of country-specific grand strategies, developing and testing inclusive typologies of more abstract foreign policy strategies, and refining the analytical tools in examining foreign policy discourses in general
Missa composita a Ludovico van Beethoven, Op. 123 ; Messe solennelle à quatre parties Solo et Choeur, par Louis van Beethoven, arrangée pour le Pianof. par G. Rink

No full textIn this study a first analysis is presented which extracts large-angle particle production rates from data taken by the HARP experiment. The analysis is carried out for nine different settings in order to compare the results in view of their dependence on the beam momentum and the target material. To achieve this goal, a fully-featured simulation for the relevant subdetector, the TPC, has been developed. This simulation was then used to unfold the measured momentum and angular distributions of secondaries. The unfolding scheme has been validated with simulated data. Due to the lack of particle identification at the time of this study, the results are not analysed in view of the best parameters for the target station of a Neutrino Factory. Nevertheless, the ratios and trends of the results presented here should already be reliable and have to be confirmed by future analyses. In addition, a comprehensive description of the HARP trigger and data acquisition system is given
REMODELING IN THE ACTIN CORE OF THE AUDITORY HAIR CELL STEREOCILIA AS A NOVEL COMPONENT OF TEMPORARY NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS
No full textThe rigid, paracrystalline actin core of auditory hair cell stereocilia is extremely stable and after initial formation must persist for the life of the cell to preserve hearing in mammals. In healthy hair cells, turnover of actin molecules occurs only in a small region near the tips of stereocilia, while the actin filaments of the shaft are stable. For decades damage to the actin core of stereocilia from acoustic trauma has only been attributed to cases of permanent noise-induced hearing loss. Here, we show that repairable actin core damage occurs in temporary noise-induced hearing loss from moderate acoustic trauma.
We have found that moderate noise exposure causing a temporary hearing loss results in damage to the stereocilia actin core in the form of small, submicron breaks in the filamentous actin (F-actin) at the base of the stereocilia, and displacement of the stereocilia from its anchoring rootlet. The same damages were recapitulated in vitro after mechanical overstimulation of stereocilia bundles by fluid-jet. Despite the well-established stable nature of the F-actin within stereocilia, 24 hours after the damage we observed complete repair of this damage in vitro and only partial repair in vivo, indicating slower in vivo recovery. The mechanism of this repair appears to involve actin remodeling in the upper portion of the rootlet located within the stereocilia shaft.
Our results suggest that repairable damage to the F-actin at the base of stereocilia is a novel component of temporary noise-induced hearing loss. We believe that restoration of hearing thresholds after moderate noise exposure includes the repair of this damage. Although the exact mechanism of this repair is unknown, this is the first evidence for actin cytoskeleton repair in the stereocilia of auditory hair cells which have to maintain their structure and mechanosensitivity throughout the life of an organism
Medical Expertise, Patient Expertise, and Surrogate Decision Making: The Importance of Co-deliberation in Medical Decision-Making
No full textIn biomedicine, there are many cases where a patient is incapacitated and unable to make their medical decisions. Often, these patients have no declared decision-maker. This thesis explores solutions which promote these patients’ ability to receive beneficent care and have a respect for their autonomy by proposing a requirement for co-deliberation between a medical professional (medical expert) and someone who knows the patient well (patient expert). This thesis studies a case and applies three solutions: one where each expert has full authority and a final solution where the two experts co-deliberate. Co-deliberation is a conversation between the two experts to promote the best care for the patient while protecting the patient, whom has no declared/authorized decision maker

Dissens in Nordvietnam: Die 'Anti-Partei-Affäre' und der Krieg (1963-1967)
No full textThe paper analyses internal debates within the North Vietnamese leadership in the 1960s commonly known as the "revisionist/anti-Party affair". It argues that by launching a campaign against dissident Party members who favored a reunification of the country by peaceful means, Party chief Le Duan managed to push through his more militant line and thus paved the way for the war against South Vietnam and the United States. The paper emphasizes that the strugglebetween different factions in North Vietnam before the outbreak of the war hada major domestic dimension although it was closely connected to the Sino-Soviet split. It draws on hitherto untapped East German sources held in theGerman Federal National Archives, the Political Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Archives of the Ministry of State Security
