Triassurella Nutzel and Geiger 2006
No full textGenus Triassurella Nützel and Geiger, 2006 Type species: Triassurella carnica Nützel and Geiger, 2006 (by original designation), from the Late Triassic Cassian Formation in the Italian Alps. Remarks: Although Nützel and Geiger (2006, p. 281) noted that the asymmetrical limpet shape with strong expansion rate as seen in Triassurella, Sutilizona and Temnocinclis is exclusively found in deep-sea families today, they placed Triassurella in the Scissurellidae. It is transferred here to the Sutilizonidae based on the strong similarities between Triassurella goederti n. sp. and Sutilizona theca McLean, 1989.Published as part of Kiel, Steffen, Campbell, Kathleen A. & Gaillard, Christian, 2010, New and little known mollusks from ancient chemosynthetic environments, pp. 26-48 in Zootaxa 2390 (1) on page 28, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2390.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/530515

Wiktor Steffen i jego Słownik warmiński
No full textThe paper presents Słownik warmiński of Wiktor Steffen as an unique work of the Polish dialect lexicography. It shows also the figures of the author and his brother Augustyn who rendered great service in research of the culture of Warmia. It discusses the editorial principles of the dictionary and its rich content. It relates to the charges of the first critics of the vocabulary. The paper treats Słownik warmiński as a personal, subjective work strongly influenced by the biography of the author – autochthon. It presents the different ways of use the content in the dialectological studies on multi-volume Słownik gwar Ostródzkiego, Warmii i Mazur conducting in the Institute of the Polish Language in the Polish Academy of Science (IJP PAN)
Phänomenologie des Leibes bei Edith Stein und Hermann Schmitz
No full textSteffen Kammler carries out a detailed analysis of phenomenology of thebody contained in Edith Stein’s dissertation On the Problem of Empathy and Hermann Schmitz’s Philosphical System (System der Philosophie), highlighting similarities and deepdifferences in their views. The author shows the relevance of Edith Stein’s philosophical approach to these issues in dialogue with the newest trends in phenomenological studies and reveals the stimulating influence of Stein’s way of thinking about body (Leib) on German phenomenology in the second half of the twentieth century
MULTILINGUALISM AND DIASYSTEMATIC CONSTRUCTION GRAMMAR - Interview with Dr. Steffen Höder
No full textSteffen Höder is a Full Professor of Scandinavian Linguistics at the Institute of Scandinavian Studies, Frisian Studies and General Linguistics at Kiel University. He has a PhD from University of Hamburg (Scandinavian Studies) and his main research interest regards Language contact, Areal linguistics, Language change and variation, Construction Grammar. Professor Höder is the author of several articles in international peer-reviewed journals and some of his current researches are about the Diasystematic Construction Grammar model. The present interview offers explanations that reveal mature reflections on the cognitive representation of grammar in a diasystematic perspective, contributing to interpretations of acquisition and descriptive phenomena of languages.Steffen Höder é professor titular de Linguística Escandinava no Instituto de Estudos Escandinavos, Estudos Frísios e Linguística Geral da Universidade de Kiel.

Can Regional Transfers Buy Public Support? Evidence from EU Structural Policy
No full textOn the occasion of the 65th birthday of Governor Klaus Liebscher and in recognition of his commitment to Austria’s participation in European monetary union and to the cause of European integration, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) established a “Klaus Liebscher Award”. It has been be offered annually since 2005 for up to two excellent scientific papers on European monetary union and European integration issues. The authors must be less than 35 years old and be citizens from EU member or EU candidate countries. Each “Klaus Liebscher Award” is worth EUR 10,000. The winning papers of the seventh Award 2011 were written by Steffen Osterloh and by Friederike Niepmann and Tim Schmidt-Eisenlohr (shared award). Steffen Osterloh’s paper is presented in this Working Paper while Friederike Niepmann’s and Tim Schmidt-Eisenlohr’s contribution is contained in Working Paper 170. In this paper Steffen Osterloh starts from the observation that regional transfers are often assumed to have an impact on the public opinion towards the benefactor, but that empirical evidence is still scarce. In his paper the author tests this hypothesis for the structural funds of the European Union (EU) by combining detailed data on regional transfers with public opinion surveys. A positive impact of transfers on public support for the EU can be confirmed. Moreover, the author scrutinizes the role of awareness of being a recipient of funds in this process. In particular, he finds that the impact of the amount of transfers on the individual’s awareness is heterogenous and particularly depends on education. Finally, the author shows that the type of information source which arouses the citizen’s awareness of the transfers affects the impact on his opinion.regional policy, vote purchasing, public opinion, European Union

Bending behavior of thermoplastic composite sheets: viscoelasticity and temperature dependency in the draping process
No full textWithin the scope of this work, Steffen Ropers evaluates the viscoelastic and temperature-dependent nature of the bending behavior of thermoplastic composite sheets in order to further enhance the predictability of the draping simulation. This simulation is a useful tool for the development of robust large scale processes for continuously fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP). The bending behavior thereby largely influences the size and position of wrinkles, which are one of the most common processing defects for continuously fiber-reinforced parts. Thus, a better understanding of the bending behavior of thermoplastic composite sheets as well as an appropriate testing method along with corresponding material models contribute to a wide-spread application of CFRPs in large scale production.

From Gentlemen to Townsmen: The Gentry of Baltimore County Maryland, 1660–1776
No full textEconomic and social life in the upper Chesapeake during the colonial period diverged from that in southern Maryland and Tidewater Virginia despite similar economic bases. Charles Steffen\u27s book offers a fresh interpretation of the economic elite of Baltimore County and challenges the widely accepted view that the life of this privileged class was characterized by permanence, stability, and continuity.
The subjects of this study are not the tiny knot of Tidewater aristocrats who have dominated scholarly inquiry, but the numerically predominant but largely unknown county gentry who constituted the bedrock of the upper class throughout Maryland and Virginia. Because most Tidewater aristocrats shunned the northern frontier of Chesapeake society, Baltimore proves an ideal location for exploring the uncertain world of the county gentry.
Most of the men who climbed the ladder of economic and political success in Baltimore, hoping to establish dynasties, watched with dismay as their children slipped back down that ladder in the later colonial years. The absence of entrenched oligarchies gave to the upper levels of county society a striking degree of fluidity and impermanence. In chapters dealing with the plantation workforce, the landed estate, the merchant community, and the established church, Steffen demonstrates that this openness pervaded all dimensions of the life of the gentry.
Steffen\u27s analysis of the complicated social and political realignments produced by the Revolution provides a fitting conclusion to his study, for in the independence struggle the openness of the gentry was most clearly revealed. In its vivid portrayal of the men and women who comprised the bulk of the gentry, From Gentlemen to Townsmen sheds new light on the complex economic and social life of the Chesapeake.
Charles G. Steffen is associate professor of history at Georgia State University and author of The Mechanics of Baltimore: Workers and Politics in the Age of Revolution.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_united_states_history/1080/thumbnail.jp
