Murmuration for violin trio
No full textThis short work for three violins takes its inspiration from the mesmerising sight of a flock of migrating starlings in flight. A murmuration consists of thousands of birds, creating ever-changing patterns as the birds swoop, soar and change direction in a mass of connected movement. Premiered at the Nelson Centre for Performing Arts 9 February 2019. This piece is dedicated to its premiere performers Helene Pohl, Nikki Chooi and Alexander Pavlovskyhttps://www.music.org.nz
Gerhart Pohl and Hauptmann, ... Carl Hauptmann
No full textThe following text presents a little‑known fact from the history of Silesian‑German literature: the relationship between the writers Gerhart Pohl and Carl Hauptmann. Pohl (1902–1966) – first and foremost a prose writer, but also a playwright, publisher, reader, columnist and prominent member of writers’ associations – is known in literary circles primarily as an acquaintance, biographer and a kind of “guardian of memory” of the other Hauptmann brother, the Nobel Prize winner Gerhart. A closer examination of the sources, however, reveals Carl Hauptmann’s significant role in Pohl’s literary legacy and biography, as well as the great esteem in which Pohl held Carl Hauptmann. Firstly – Gerhart Pohl mentions the novel “Einhart der Lächler” as one of the main inspirations for taking the literary path. Secondly – Pohl’s first meeting with Carl Hauptmann takes place more than a decade earlier than Pohl’s meeting with Gerhart Hauptmann. Finally – Pohl considers Carl Hauptmann to be a precursor of Expressionism, as well as the author of the greatest German‑language book of the Rübezahl. The source material for the following analysis are Gerhart Pohl’s texts about Carl Hauptmann from his journalistic and occasional texts and essays
Luehea microphylla Pohl 1833
No full text<p> <i>Luehea microphylla</i> Pohl (1833: 129).</p> <p> Type:— BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Minas Novas, “Habitat inter arbores ad margines fluviorum ad Rio S.Francisco, Capitanae Minas Novas. Legi florentem mense Octobri 1819”, <i>Pohl s.n.</i> (lectotype [as ‘holotype’], first-step designated by Cunha (1985: 10); <b>second-step lectotype, designated here</b>, W! [W0071087]). Minas Gerais: Minas Novas, <i>Pohl s.n.</i> (syntype remaining W! [W0071386]). [= <i>Luehea candicans</i> Mart.]</p> <p> Pohl’s original collection is kept in W where he worked and lived (Stafleu & Cowan 1976 –1988: 315), and where we found only two specimens reported by the author to the name <i>L. microphylla</i> and collected by him in Brazil (B. Wallnöfer, pers. comm.). These two specimens are syntypes of <i>L. microphylla</i>, and the previous typification of Cunha (1985) needs to be corrected (Art. 9.2 of the ICN), since it represents the first-step lectotype of <i>L. microphylla</i> and now requires the second-step typification by the way of subsequent lectotypification (Art. 9.17 of the ICN). For this reason, we designated herein the specimen <i>Pohl s.n.</i> (W0071087) the second-step lectotype of <i>L. microphylla</i>, that agree well with the morphological description presented in the protologue. Based on the type materials, the application of the name <i>L. microphylla</i> Pohl is confirmed as a heterotypic synonym of <i>L. candicans,</i> as previously accepted by Cunha (1985).</p>Published as part of <i>Gerace, Samuele, Bovini, Massimo G., Peruzzi, Lorenzo & Baumgratz, José Fernando A., 2022, Typification of names in the neotropical genus Luehea (Malvaceae: Grewioideae), pp. 180-188 in Phytotaxa 542 (2)</i> on pages 183-184, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.542.2.5, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/6415980">http://zenodo.org/record/6415980</a>
Illustration 63: Zeitschrift für die Buchillustration: Heft 1/1974
No full textThis is one of two unusual finds in a lovely Berlin used bookshop. I did not know of the magazine Illustration 63. Antiquariat Ihring had several copies, and I looked through them. Not surprisingly, there were many fables represented in the good artworks reproduced in the issues. I found two especially nicely done and took them along. Each issue of the magazine includes a set of Beilagen, individual pieces printed on their own and included inside the back cover. This issue includes two Beilagen that offer fables. Benno Huth's smaller two-colored linocut presents Canum legati ad Iovem, the dogs sent to Iove. It is a funny illustration. Alfred Pohl presents in larger format a woodcut representing Iriarte's version of Aesop's Two Goats. As might be expected, it is a dynamic illustration. What I seem to be learning from Wikipedia and German Google is that the magazine died after seventy-nine issues.Language note: German#709La Fontain
Enhancing the Digital Backchannel Backstage on the Basis of a Formative User Study
No full textContemporary higher education with its large audiences suffers from passivity of students. Enhancing the classroom with a digital backchannel can contribute to establishing and fostering active participation of and collaboration among students in the lecture. Therefore, we conceived the digital backchannel Backstage specifically tailored for the use in large classes. At an early phase of development we tested its core functionalities in a small-scale user study. The aim of the study was to gain first impressions of its adoption, and also to form a basis for further steps in the conception of Backstage. Regarding adoption we particularly focused on how Backstage influences the participants' questioning behavior, a salient aspect in learning. We observed that during the study much more questions were uttered on Backstage than being asked without backchannel support. Regarding the further development of Backstage we capitalized on the participants' usability feedback. The key of the refinement is the integration of presentation slides in Backstage, which leads to an interesting reconsideration of the user interactions of Backstage
Product Diversification and Stability of Employment and Sales: First Evidence from German Manufacturing Firms
No full textWe use a unique rich newly built data set for German manufacturing enterprises to investigate the relationship between product diversification and the stability of sales and employment. We find that contrary to portfolio theoretic considerations more diversified firms exhibit a higher variability of sales and employment. However, the effects are negligibly small from an economics point of view.Product diversification, stability, variability, Germany

No full textTitle: Cost of civil judicial proceedings with particular focus on attorneys' fees Author: Mgr. Eva Alexander Chair: Civil Law Date (final draft): 30 June 2014 Key words: costs of legal proceedings, reimbursement of legal fees, small claims The thesis analyzes the Czech legal rules relating to the costs of civil judicial proceedings, in particular the attorneys' fees. In the first part, the costs of civil judicial proceedings are described in general, including out-of-pocket expenses of parties and their representatives and counsel, court fees, lost wages, evidence and interpreting costs and notarial fees. The first part further focuses on payment and reimbursement of costs. Under Czech law, the losing party must reimburse the successful party at the rate determined by the statutory rules. The second part deals with the reimbursement attorney's fees, which, until April 2013, took place according to flat rates set forth in a decree. However, the Constitutional Court cancelled that decree due to its effects in small claims cases. As a result, the general statutory schedule for attorney's fees is currently used also for determination of reimbursement of counterparty's fees in civil disputes. The thesis describes both the case law relevant before the decision of the Constitutional Court, which may be..
