The potential use of pilgerodendron uviferum tree-ring dating in the historical interpretation of the churches of Chiloé, World Heritage
No full textThe churches on Chiloé Island are the oldest wood structures in Chile. Chiloé islanders adapted European colonial techniques and developed unique regional construction styles when building these UNESCO-recognized community and religious centers. Although these historical treasures are preserved, much of the construction history of these churches remains unknown. Tree-ring dating is a proven archeological dating method used to identify the logging dates of wood used for constructiong historical buildings. The majority of churches on Chiloé were constructed using Pilgerodendron uviferum (“ciprés de las Guaitecas”) wood. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the potential use of this species to date timber found at churches in Vilupulli and Ichuac. Timber sections from both structures were successfully cross-dated using three regional multi-century long P. uviferum tree-ring site chronologies located in the Chiloé region (two from the island and one from the nearby Andes region). Samples from pillars located in the tower of the Vilupulli church contained 311 and 181 tree-rings, respectively, while four samples from floor beams in the Ichuac church contained 79, 89, 97 and 135 annual growth . Timber used to build the Vilupulli church tower cross-dates to 1918 and corroborates colloquial knowledge that the structure was built in the early 20th century. Dates obtained from the floor beams in theIchuac church range from 1920 to1929, and contradict the colloquial thinking that the structure was built at the end of the 19th century, though these could represent material used in a later restoration not previously recorded in Ichuac’s local history. These findings confirm that P. uviferum presents strong capabilities for further use in tree ring dating of important historical structures located in the temperate region of Southern Chile.Las iglesias de Chiloé son antiguas estructuras de madera reconocidas patrimonio de la humanidad por la UNESCO. Gran parte de su historia de construcción y reparaciones aún se desconoce. Considerando que muchas de las iglesias de Chiloé fueron construidas utilizando madera de Pilgerodendron uviferum, el objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el potencial de esta especie para datar piezas de madera de dos de estas históricas construcciones: las iglesias de Vilupulli e Ichuac. En Vilupulli se dataron piezas de 311 y 181 años provenientes de los pilares de la torre. Estas piezas fueron fechadas con cronologías de ancho de anillos de P. uviferum cercanas a las dos iglesias. También utilizando estas cronologías se dataron piezas de 79, 89, 97 y 135 años obtenidas a partir de los pilotes que sostienen el piso de la iglesia de Ichuac. Considerando que Vilupulli fue construida a principios del siglo XX, es posible que las muestras de la torre que presentaron fechas cercanas a 1918, sean parte del proceso tardío de construcción de la iglesia o de una restauración posterior. Por su parte, Ichuac fue construida a finales del siglo XIX, por lo que las piezas del piso que dataron entre 1920-1929, formarían parte de una posible restauración no descrita previamente en archivos históricos, la cual pudo ocurrir incluso varios años posterior a la fecha del anillo más reciente encontrado en las piezas estudiadas. Se concluye que P. uviferum tiene alto potencial para estudios históricos en estructuras patrimoniales en el sur de Chile
The Power of Language and Silence: Reinhard Jirgl’s Die Stille
No full textReinhard Jirgl (1953–) is an emphatically German author. He insists that German is “die Sprache in der ich denke, spreche und schreibe,”¹ and the award of several prestigious prizes (including the Büchner Prize in 2010) has confirmed his place in the German literary tradition. Yet Jirgl uses the German language in consistently and characteristically iconoclastic ways to challenge the authority of historical, political, and institutional discourse. Precisely because his work went against the ideological prescriptions of the East German state, it remained unpublished in the GDR, where Jirgl lived and worked. Since unification he has become a prolific author,..

Review: Reinhard Müller (2008). Marienthal: Das Dorf - Die Arbeitslosen - Die Studie
No full textDas Buch von Reinhard MÜLLER beschäftigt sich mit der bekannten Studie "Die Arbeitslosen von Marienthal" von Marie JAHODA, Paul F. LAZARSFELD und Hans ZEISEL (1933, 1960, 1975). In seinem sozialhistorischen Zugang gelingt es MÜLLER, interessante Details zur Studie selbst sowie zur Gemeinde und zur Fabrik zu präsentieren. Mehr als die Hälfte des Buches ist der Entwicklung der Arbeitersiedlung Marienthal gewidmet, beginnend bei der Gründung des Dorfes und danach der Textilfabrik. Eingegangen wird auf historische Ereignisse, bedeutende Personen und Entwicklungen in der Gemeinde. Im anderen Teil werden zusätzliche Informationen rund um die Studie präsentiert. Porträts und Erinnerungen der Projektmitarbeiter/innen stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt. Das Buch ermöglicht nicht nur einen tieferen Einblick in die klassische Studie und Marienthal, es veranschaulicht auch (österreichische) Geschichte an einer Gemeinde.The book by Reinhard MÜLLER deals with the well-known study "Marienthal: The Sociography of an Unemployed Community" by Marie JAHODA, Paul F. LAZARSFELD, and Hans ZEISEL (1933, 1971). The author presents interesting socio-historical details about the study itself as well as about the community and factory. More than half of the book is dedicated to the development of the workers' settlement of Marienthal, starting with the founding of the village and then the textile factory. The author describes historical events, important people' and developments in the community. Also additional information - portraits and memories - about the well-known study is presented. The book not only enables a deeper insight into the classical study and the settlement of Marienthal, it also illustrates (Austrian) history by way of a community and a study

Gott als Vater bei Plotin und Porphyrios
No full textThe metaphor of conception or birth plays a central role in neo-platonism: it is used alongside other to describe the proceeding of the reality of the highest principle and their gradual development. This chapter explores the following questions with reference to two Neoplatonic philosophers, first 'Hour: Plotinus and his student Porphyry: what does this mean for the speech of the gods or the highest principle as a father, if, Father 'a mere abstract relations and function name synonymous with, Author' or 'polluter pays', what aspects of the father image are emphasized and what implications these divine beings for the representation of the relationships between themselves and the relationship between man and God. In their texts, the two go with the father metaphor differently to and present in all structural similarity of the theological system a God each but different stored in its relations with the world and man
Kommentare zum italienischen Zivilgesetzbuch. Geschichte, Struktur und Funktion
No full textThe aim of the contribution is to outline the history, the structure and the functions of legal commentaries in the Italian tradition. After a historical introduction, which takes into consideration the relationships between the Italian, the French and the German scholarships, the author exposes the main characteristics of the different types of legal commentaries. The structure and the style of the main publications are put under scrutiny and compared to other literary genres, namely treaties and encyclopedias. The essay tries then to indicate the current “value” of legal commentaries for doctrinal and practice-oriented research purposes. Finally, it discusses the future of the literary genre and its possible implementation in online databases

Current Approaches to Post-fall Assessment in Nursing Homes
No full textFalls in nursing homes occur among a large percentage of residents. Their onset necessitates a postfall assessment (PFA) be performed by clinical staff to determine likely etiology. The absence of an empirically validated comprehensive postfall assessment tool has led to considerable variability in the types of PFAs performed. The purpose of this study was to examine the types of PFA tools available, their content, and to compare this with national recommendations for fall assessment in geriatric practice.Peer reviewe
