Main Consequences of Violation of EU Law by Member States
No full textPh.D. Thesis Abstract Title: Main Consequences of Violation of EU Law by Member States Author: Jindřich Neubauer Supervisor: doc. JUDr. Richard Král LL. M. This Ph.D. Thesis deals with the main consequences of violations of EU law by Member states of European Union. It focuses mainly on the two most important instruments foreseen by EU law for ensuring proper application of EU norms. The first is the principle of state responsibility for breach of EU law. The second is infringement procedure based on articles 258 - 260 of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union (hereinafter "TFEU"). The aim of this Thesis is to describe and analyze two relatively independent but linked tools which ensure fulfillment of obligations arising from EU law. The importance of such analysis is clear from the high number of infringement proceedings initiated every year against the Czech Republic and current discussions about how to transpose the principle of member-state liability for breach of EU law into the national legal order. The understanding of such tools is necessary for the successful professional defence of member states' interests before the Court of justice of the European Union (hereinafter "CJEU"). It is also necessary to reflect on and examine major changes in European law which have occurred through..
Hypervelocity dust particle impacts observed by the Giotto Magnetometer and Plasma Experiments
No full textWe report thirteen very short events in the magnetic field of the inner magnetic pile‐up region of comet Halley observed by the Giotto magnetometer experiment together with simultaneous plasma data obtained by the Johnstone plasma analyzer and the ion mass spectrometer experiments. The events are due to dust impacts in the milligram range on the spacecraft at the relative velocity between the cemetery dust and the spacecraft of 68 km/sec. They are generally consistent with dust impact events derived from spacecraft attitude perturbations by the Giotto camera [Curdt and Keller, private communication]. Their characteristic shape generally involves a sudden decrease in magnetic field magnitude, a subsequent overshoot beyond initial field values and an asymptotic approach to the initial field somewhat reminiscent of the magnetic field signature after the AMPTE releases in the solar wind. These observations give a new way of analyzing ultra‐fast dust particles incident on a spacecraft
Data for "Diversity, biogeography, and evolution of European freshwater gastropods through time: a voyage across scales"
No full textThe dataset contains the taxonomic, geographic, and stratigraphic data on freshwater mollusks used in the habilitation thesis of T. A. Neubauer at JLU (2023). The dataset is divided into four parts: 1. species occurrence data for fossil European and North American freshwater gastropods from the Triassic to the Pleistocene. This includes information on geography, taxonomy/systematics, stratigraphy, and literature sources. The information was acquired over the past 10 years from the primary literature and constantly updated. Parts were published in previous papers by the author. 2. A species list of all fossil and extant fresh- and brackish-water Mollusca stored in the online database MolluscaBase (https://molluscabase.org/), as of 3 January 2023. 3. Distribution data in the form of geographic polygon names for all taxa in (2), as of 19 December 2022. 4. Fossil age data for all taxa in (2), as of 19 December 2022.

Hutopia, Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society, The University of Chicago
No full textAn exhibition of contemporary art at the University of Chicago's Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society, curated by Dieter Roelstraete (Department of Art History, University of Chicago).HUTOPIAAPRIL 25–SEPTEMBER 6, 2019Opening Reception: April 25, 5–7 p.m.Gallery hours: M–F, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.HUTOPIA is the second chapter in an ongoing investigation of the relationship between philosophical reflection and the condition of exile or escape – a Chicago-styled follow-up to the exhibition Machines à Penser, conceived by Dieter Roelstraete for the Fondazione Prada in Venice in conjunction with the 2018 Architecture Biennale.Dedicated to the curious architectural phenomenon of the philosopher’s retreat, HUTOPIA takes as its point of departure two famous philosopher’s huts: Martin Heidegger’s Black Forest cabin in the German village of Todtnauberg and the lesser-known mountain refuge built by Ludwig Wittgenstein in the remote Norwegian village of Skjolden. Both huts were constructed around the same time – in the early 1920s and late 1910s, respectively – to serve the same purpose: offering their occupants the kind of isolation conducive to thinking the kind of thoughts that would go on to revolutionize twentieth-century philosophy. Completing the triumvirate of modern German-language thought is Theodor Adorno, whose theorizing was decisively shaped by his American exile – another kind of philosopher’s retreat. (Adorno, of course, was one of Heidegger’s harshest postwar critics, and likewise dismissive of Wittgenstein’s philosophy, while Heidegger and Wittgenstein were distantly respectful of each other’s undertakings. In this way, HUTOPIA doubles as an exploration of twentieth-century German thought.)Named after a poem composed by participating artist-poet Alec Finlay, HUTOPIA brings together sculptures and photographs by Goshka Macuga, Guy Moreton, and Ewan Telford alongside historical photographs by Digne Meller-Marcovicz, each of which sheds light on our protagonists’ titular “machines for thinking” – the “hutopian” outposts from which some of their sharpest insights were sent into the world. The centerpiece of HUTOPIA, however, are the artist-built, scaled-down replicas of Heidegger’s and Wittgenstein’s huts as imagined by Chicago-based artist John Preus, installed outside the Neubauer Collegium. A third hut built by Preus and loosely modeled after a 1980s Ian Hamilton Finlay sculpture titled Adorno’s Hut occupies the gallery and doubles as a display structure for the aforementioned photo work. Although these structures are sculptures first and foremost, they can be entered and will occasionally be put to appropriate social use, acting as classrooms, gathering spaces, and places of solitary concentration.Over the years, both Heidegger’s hut and the site of Wittgenstein’s hut (which, after having been dismantled in the 1970s, is being rebuilt on the spot) have become unlikely destinations for a species of philosophical tourism – pilgrimage sites, in truth – and artists in particular have long made work in response to the mystique of these buildings’ isolation. Behind and underneath these anecdotes, however, loom this unfolding research project’s true concerns: not just the matter of where thinking takes place, but above all that of the three modes of productive disentanglement proposed by Wittgenstein’s Hut, Heidegger’s Hut, and Adorno’s Hut: the escape from the everyday pressures of hyperconnected urban life we all crave; the exile we may find ourselves forced into; the retreat we dream of.Participating artists: Alec Finlay, Goshka Macuga, Guy Moreton, John Preus, Ewan Telford.Visiting speakers: Ray Monk (Emeritus Professor, University of Southampton; author, Ludwig Wttgenstein: The Duty of Genius), Katherine Withy (Associate Professor, Georgetown University; author, Heidegger on Being Uncanny).Curated by Dieter Roelstraete.IMAGE: Guy Moreton, LW 118, Skjolden (2001-2005).

The Search for the Essence of Being according to Advaita-Vedanta and Chán Buddhism
No full textThe purpose of this dissertation is to draw a comparison between Chinese and Indian idealism as they can be encountered in the life and teachings of these two great masters, Ramana Mahārshi and Xūyun Laoheshang. This work first pretends to investigate briefly the concept of the Absolute in the Advaita-Vedānta philosophy: the author reviews the ten Vedic Upanishads, examines the writings by Shankarācharya and the practice of “Mahāvākhya” (the Great Vedic Formulas), and investigates the teachings of Ātmavichāra. Secondly, this work explores the antecedents of hùatóu, practice in the frame of Chan Buddhism. And then the author studies two contemporary masters: Ramana Mahārshi and Xūyun Laoheshang, each representative of the two most prominent spiritual traditions in India and China respectively.El propósito de esta tesis es realizar una comparación entre el idealismo de la China e India tal como se puede encontrar en la vida y enseñanzas de dos grandes maestros, Ramana Mahārshi y Xūyún Laōháshang.
