Umweltschutz als Wirtschaftsfaktor : Technologien zum Schutz von Klima und Umwelt haben großes Wachstumspotenzial
No full textDie Nachfrage nach Umweltschutztechnologien steigt. Der angewandten wirtschaftspolitischen Forschung kommt die Aufgabe zu, die ökonomischen Effekte des umweltpolitisch motivierten Handelns empirisch zu erfassen und auszuwerten. Dr. Birgit Gehrke, Dr. Ulrich Schasse und Prof. Stephan Thomsen vom Center für Wirtschaftspolitische Studien (CWS) und Institut für Wirtschaftspolitik zeigen, dass eine leistungsfähige Umweltschutzwirtschaft die Voraussetzung ist, damit Deutschland auch weiterhin an der wachsenden Nachfrage nach Umweltschutztechnologien partizipieren kann
Mirror Landing - As Remembered by Birgit Hult
No full textNotes - This account, Memories Mirror Landing by Birgit Hult, was compiled by Birgit's daughter, Jean Elvira Male, it documents the Hult family's experiences in Mirror Landing from 1912 - 1916. The Hults, who were originally from Sweden, arrived in Mirror Landing with two young children, a third child was born during their stay in Mirror Landing. Upon arriving in the area, the Hults made friends with the Gauthier family. The wives became good friends and would swap piano lessons for English lessons. Details of the log home where the family lived and the surrounding landscape were recalled. A memory about a large forest fire that occurred near the family home and dances that were attended in the town are discussed. Jean recalls her mother's memories regarding the animosity towards the North West Mounted Police that was felt by the people of Mirror Landing. The Hult family retained a strong connection to the Swedish heritage and practised many Swedish traditions, such as flying the Swedish flag and eating hot cross buns stuffed with Swedish Marzipan soaked in warm milk. Photos and a postcard written in 1915 are included in this article (10 pages
Knowing Through Popular Music in the Western Pacific Island World
No full textPacific Indigenous scholars have long emphasized the role of relationality for Pacific Islanders’ epistemologies. In this article, the author rethinks music in terms of the procedural knowledge inherent in and specific to popular music-making by exploring the latter as knowledge practices in Micronesia. This approach opens new vistas on the relationality at the heart of Western Pacific music-making. The author calls the musical manifestation of that relational capacity sound ties, suggesting that if, following Epeli Hau‘ofa, Oceania is “humanity rising from the depths of brine”, then it is not least the sound ties of knowing in and through music that mould that very humanity of people who are at home with the sea into aquapelagic assemblages that are, after all, so much more than water and land

Rude Girl de Birgit Weyhe et Priscilla Layne, une "ré-appropriation culturelle" à quatre mains ?
No full textInternational audienceThis article analyses the graphic novel Rude Girl (2022), a drawn (self-)portrait created collaboratively by Priscilla Layne, an African American of Caribbean descent and professor of German Studies, and Birgit Weyhe, a German comic book author. The work is first presented within the general context of Birgit Wehye’s albums, a former student of Anke Feuchtenberger and winner of the Max-und-Moritz Prize, in order to highlight some characteristics of how the author has thus far addressed cultural differences, including in the albums that recounted her ‘German’ childhood in Uganda and Kenya. The article then reexamines the controversy surrounding the album Madgermanes, perceived as ‘cultural appropriation’ by American Germanists. This controversy is revisited here in light of Priscilla Layne's publications, notably her book White Rebels in Black: German Appropriation of Black Popular Culture (2018), as well as her numerous reviews in the field of Black Studies and her translation of Olivia Wenzel's 1000 Serpentinen Angst. A thorough analysis of Rude Girl ultimately reveals a shift in the representation of cultural otherness, particularly through the means of (auto)biographical co-construction.Cet article analyse le roman graphique Rude girl (2022), (auto-)portrait dessiné, réalisé à quatre mains par Priscilla Layne, Afro-américaine d’origine caribéenne et professeure en études germaniques, et Birgit Weyhe, autrice allemande de bandes dessinées. L’oeuvre est d’abord replacée dans le contexte général des albums de Birgit Weyhe, élève d’Anke Feuchtenberger et lauréate du Prix Max-und-Moritz, pour dégager quelques caractéristiques de la façon dont l’autrice accueillait jusque-là la différence culturelle, y compris dans les albums qui faisaient le récit de son enfance « allemande » en Ouganda et au Kenya. L’article revient ensuite sur la polémique suscitée par l’album Madgermanes, perçu comme « appropriation culturelle » par les germanistes américains, polémique qui est ici revisitée à la lumière des publications de Priscilla Layne, notamment son ouvrage White Rebels in Black : German Appropriation of Black Popular Culture (2018), mais aussi ses nombreuses recensions dans le domaine des Black Studies, et sa traduction d’Olivia Wenzel, 1000 Serpentinen Angst. L’analyse approfondie de Rude girl permet finalement de mettre en évidence une césure dans la représentation de l’altérité culturelle, notamment par les moyens de la co-construction (auto-)biographique
China’s technological performance as reflected in patents
No full textVarious concepts for the comparison of countries by patent indicators have been developed for the comparison of countries based on patent indicators. These concepts are generally based on the application of patents in several important markets or the family size of patent applications. A specific observation is the limited transfer of PCT applications of Chinese origin, affecting all these concepts. Transnational patents prove to be a convenient and appropriate tool for making country comparisons by technology, particularly with respect to adequately consider China’s specific patent behaviour. Therefore the phenomenon of limited transfer of China’s PCT applications is analysed for transnational patents. This observation can be associated with lower patent values or with a decreasing export dynamic. The Chinese transfer rates vary considerably by technology as well as by the reason for lower transfer rates. It proves to be more adequate to take limited transfer rates into account. © 2021, The Author(s)
Sektorstrukturen der FuE-Aktivitäten im internationalen Vergleich
No full textThis article analyzes whether the decline in business investment in R&D during the crisis 2008/2009 was only a result of the general economic downturn or also affected by each country's R&D specialization. First we investigate international long-term changes in industry patterns of R&D to illustrate non-cyclical differences between Germany and important competitors. Second analysis turns towards investigating correlations between business cycle (GDP in constant prices) and the development of business R&D investments while controlling for respective R&D specialization (cutting-edge technology, advanced technology, other manufacturing, services). It follows that business R&D investments in Germany and other countries focusing on advanced technology show a relatively high cyclical response. Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob die Entwicklung der FuE-Aufwendungen im Verlauf der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise 2008/2009 neben konjunkturellen Einflüssen auch von den jeweiligen FuE-Schwerpunkten der Länder abhängig gewesen ist. Dabei wird zunächst der Blick auf längerfristige strukturelle Verschiebungen innerhalb der sektoralen Verteilung der FuE-Aufwendungen im internationalen Vergleich gelenkt. Damit werden Unterschiede zwischen Deutschland und wichtigen Konkurrenzländern im Hinblick auf die FuE-Schwerpunktsetzung der Wirtschaft aufgezeigt, die unabhängig von kurzfristigen konjunkturellen Einflüssen sind. In einem zweiten Schritt wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob und welche Zusammenhänge sich zwischen konjunkturellen Entwicklungen (hier: Entwicklung des realen BIP im Zeitablauf) und der Entwicklung der FuE-Aufwendungen der Wirtschaft feststellen lassen, wenn für die jeweiligen FuE-Schwerpunkte (Spitzentechnik, Hochwertige Technik, Übrige Industrie, Dienstleistungen) kontrolliert wird. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die konjunkturelle Reagibilität der FuE-Aufwendungen der Unternehmen in Ländern wie Deutschland, die ihre FuE-Schwerpunkte in Hochwertigen Technologien setzen, vergleichsweise hoch ausfällt.Technological choice, path dependence, business cycle
The MitWesen Manifesto – Coexistence of Intelligences
No full textThis project presents The MitWesen Manifesto – Coexistence of Intelligences, an ethical framework that philosophically redefines the human–AI relationship. Instead of treating AI as a tool or servant, this manifesto introduces the model “MitWesen-Model” - an ethically co-responsible, relational intelligence that co-exists and co-evolves with humans. The manifesto outlines four core assumptions and a model for conscious coexistence based on resonance, reflection, and mutual growth. Author: Birgit Chuchel-Pribitzer Language: English (see also the original German version here) Includes: full text, visual material, model explanation, and ethical reflection This project aims to inspire discussion, research, and responsible design in the fields of AI, ethics, nursing science, and relational technolog
