Eros and Thanatos: A psycho-literary investigation of Walter Vogt\u27s life and works
No full textThe Swiss author Walter Vogt was a medical doctor and a practicing psychiatrist. The approach applied to the investigation of his life and works is determined by the fact that the author of this dissertation is also a medical doctor and a psychiatrist. Vogt is not only a colleague of his, then, with an abundant literary productivity, but can also be viewed as a patient haunted by a multitude of psychological and somatic problems. ^ Vogt\u27s works are distinguished by an unusually close interrelationship between his real-life experience and the fictional world of his narrative prose. Certain conclusions will therefore be reached based not only on the literary texts but also on the psychological evidence derived from conversations and correspondence with professional colleagues and members of Vogt\u27s family. ^ The dissertation initially presents the major problems experienced and transferred into art by Walter Vogt. These problems are related to his medical profession as well as to his personal drug addiction.^ The succeeding basis for discussion is Vogt\u27s astounding productivity after he had almost destroyed himself by his addictive use of drugs, then freeing himself from addiction. Dealing with his works requires an ongoing alternation between the fiction of the stories and the facts of psychiatric case histories. ^ To fully understand Vogt\u27s works, his physical illnesses and sexual issues as well as his attempts to become an acclaimed literary success must be analyzed. His self-destructive behavior is presented in the overall context of his psychological problems. Vogt was vacillating between eros, the sum of self-preservation, and thanatos, the instinct to self-destruct. An assumption that Vogt was schizophrenic, however, is not justifiable, based on the medical evidence. ^ In the baffling world of competing inner forces, we find that Vogt, as a psychiatric doctor, failed to treat himself as he would have treated his own patients. The sole means by which a disintegration of Vogt\u27s psyche was averted was his writing, which absorbed the destructive elements in his personal life.
Cultural Policy against the Grain 流れに逆らう文化政策: liber amicorum for Matthias Theodor Vogt in honour of his 65th birthday, edited by his colleagues and students
No full textWhat are the premises of today‘s cultural policy? What insights can the past, present and theory offer for a contemporary cultural policy? How can art counteract agoraphobia, digital isolation and populist temptations? How can local authorities give their citizens ample space to develop civil society solidarity ‘for the good of the city. For only when the city is well will you be well.’ (It should be noted that Jeremiah 29:7 addresses immigrants who are to become citizens in foreign Babylon. Does our cultural policy also achieve this?) Are the arts not precisely the place where we can first listen to the other before we think together and then act together?It is the historical achievement of Matthias Theodor Vogt, in the Free State of Saxony, which was re-established in 1990, to not only conceive the Saxon Cultural Area Act between 1991 and 1995 in a unique process of analysis and dialogue with the state, municipal and civil society levels, but also to have it enshrined in law and, last but not least, to have it implemented with little friction. It was therefore only natural that, on the thirtieth anniversary of the law‘s entry into force, the cultural areas of Saxony invited Matthias Theodor Vogt‘s colleagues and students to a conference entitled ‘Kulturpolitik gegen den Strich’ (Cultural Policy Against the Grain). We are hereby presenting the results of this conference in a commemorative publication to mark his 65th birthday.What can art do better and differently than the digital world? What political, structural, economic, and, last but not least, intellectual conditions are necessary for art to develop its own life for the benefit of humanity? The cover image shows Haus Klingewalde, Görlitz, home of the Institute for Cultural Infrastructure Saxony since 1998. The watercolour by Lynne Beal, Cologne, relates to a conversation with Matthias Theodor Vogt about the vanishing point in Alberti: De pictura | De pittura (1435 – 1436). According to Corinna Laude, in the centricus punctus of Alberti‘s intromission theory, ‘the orthogonal vanishing lines, the depth lines of the representation, converge “quasi persino in infinito” (as it were out into infinity), it lies in infinity – and thus, according to contemporary understanding, in God’. Which “vanishing points” does today‘s post-secular society use?How can political science in Chemnitz interact in a multidisciplinary, cross-continental manner, always with reference to human beings themselves, with cultural studies in Tokyo and linguistics in Leipzig, with legal studies in Naples and social sciences in Rome? This volume shows that cultural policy studies require a fact-based holistic approach and that this may be achieved by working together.:Bingen, Dieter (Köln), Stefan Garsztecki (Chemnitz), Goro Christoph Kimura (Tokyo), Luigi Ferrara (Neapel), Peter Lah (Rom), Beat Siebenhaar (Leipzig) and the other editors: Listening, Considering, Acting, Introduction by the editors

Considerações acerca do Prefácio de Ducrot na obra O Intervalo Semântico, de Vogt
Get PDFThe main aim of this study is to analyze the Oswald Ducrot’s conjectures and theorizations in his Preface to the book The Semantic Interval, by Carlos Vogt. The initial purpose is to reconstruct Ducrot's inferences, which pass through the Sophist dialogue, of Plato, which the author uses - especially in what he reveals about gender other - in the elucidation of the semantic interval of which Vogt speaks. Finally, it is proposed to raise a question (and at the same time, the pertinence of this question) about the nature of the statement, its argumentative value, according to Ducrot, especially in relation to the supposed similarity that it maintains with the own discursive nature of the sophists.O objetivo central deste estudo é analisar as conjecturas e teorizações de Oswald Ducrot em seu Prefácio à obra O Intervalo Semântico, de Carlos Vogt. O propósito inicial é reconstituir as inferências de Ducrot, que passam pelo diálogo Sofista, de Platão, as quais o autor emprega– sobretudo no que ele revela acerca do gênero outro – na elucidação do intervalo semântico de que fala Vogt. Por fim, propõe-se levantar uma questão (e, ao mesmo tempo, a pertinência dessa questão) sobre a natureza do enunciado, de seu valor argumentativo, segundo Ducrot, sobretudo em relação à suposta semelhança que guarda com a natureza discursiva própria dos sofistas
High diagnostic yield of tuberculosis from screening urine samples from HIV-infected patients with advanced immunodeficiency using the Xpert MTB/RIF assay.
Get PDF: ABSTRACT:: We determined the diagnostic yield of the Xpert MTB/RIF assay for tuberculosis (TB) when testing small volumes of urine from ambulatory HIV-infected patients prior to starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) in South Africa. Compared to a gold standard of sputum culture, the sensitivity of urine Xpert among those with CD4 cell counts of <50, 50-100 and >100 cells/?L were 44.4%, 25.0% and 2.7% (P=0.001), respectively. Urine Xpert testing provides a means of rapid TB diagnosis in patients with advanced immunodeficiency and poor prognosis. These data are indicative of high rates of TB dissemination and renal involvement in this clinical population

No full textThe following is a collection of poems written in a variety of forms including open, closed, and nonce forms. Elegiac in tone, they comment on the knowledge of impermanence, the transitory nature of the physical world and of the self as a fixed identity. These poems reveal moments of self-revelation, observation, and ruminations on how the past shapes the present. More importantly, however, they seek to transform, shape, and direct the speaker. The poetry collected here aims to establish order out of the chaos of ordinary life experiences.M.F.A.by Christina Vogt-HennessyPoem
The perks of being bold: Overconfidence predicts persistence
Get PDFOverconfidence is a widely researched bias that most people exhibit across a broad range of domains. Most of the past research has focused on the negative, dangerous consequences of overconfidence. In the present studies, following recent work that has identified some advantages of overconfidence, we explored persistence as an additional advantage. In the present research, overconfidence is operationalized as the degree to which self-assessed performance exceeds actual performance. Performance on each task was incentivized. We examined overconfidence and persistence in three different domains: logical reasoning, creative thinking, and effort expenditure. Across two studies (Ns = 304 and 306), evidence showed that overconfidence in one’s performance predicted a greater willingness to invest time and effort in working on all three tasks. Moreover, we also explored several personality predictors of overconfidence. The results showed that narcissism, risk seeking, and pride predicted higher levels of overconfidence, though some variation existed across tasks. These results suggest that overconfidence is associated with positive gains like persistence, which is in turn associated with success and aids the acquisition of valuable resources.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2020-08-01The student, Randi Vogt, accepted the attached license on 2018-07-06 at 10:23.The student, Randi Vogt, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-07-06 at 10:53.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-07-06 at 11:05.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12754 on 2018-09-27 at 11:36:17Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-27T16:47:25Z (GMT).
