The major certificate of aptitude in the field of German crafts between German's tradition and the European Union's internal market.
No full textThe major certificate of aptitude (MCA) means that German craftmen have to pass an examination for the master craftsman`s certificate to start up a business of their own. This requirement has existed for centuries and is disputed since.Whereas in pre-industrial times this requirement was justified with "subsistence" the emphasis nowadays is based on the high performance which garantuess good qualitiy.In the course of the completion of the EUropea Union`s internal market as well as a chancing world of work the MCA was critcized again. The meaning of this master qualification is dubious in two ways: firstly, are German craftsmen Thus better than their European colleaques and secondly, does the examination that had been passed long ago still fulfill the latest requirement of the world of work?This survey shows, that the MCA makes sense in trades, in which flaws can be recognized years later. As a rule master craftsmen shows a much more detailed specialized knowledge
MARPOL - Technical facilities, legal and political limits of an international convention
No full textZiel des Internationalen Übereinkommens von 1973 zur Verhütung der Meeresverschmutzung durch Schiffe in der Fassung des Protokolls von 1987 (MARPOL 73/78) ist die Reduzierung des Eintrags von Schadstoffen in das Meer durch die Schifffahrt. Dies soll durch umfassende schiffbauliche Vorschriften, Ausrüstungsverpflichtungen, Betriebsvorschriften und Einleitungsverbote gewährleistet werden. Die Vertragsparteien des Übereinkommens verpflichteten sich, die Vorschriften zum Meeresumweltschutz auf die unter ihrer Hoheitsgewalt betriebenen Schiffe anzuwenden. Die Arbeit zeigt die Schwierigkeiten bei der Anwendung des MARPOL-Übereinkommens auf und verdeutlicht, welche Grenzen einem umfassenden, internationalen Vertragsrecht gesetzt sind, wenn die Anwendung den Vertragsparteien überlassen wird und somit ein großer Spielraum für den Einfluss von Wirtschaft und nationaler Politik besteht. Das MARPOL-Übereinkommen gilt weltweit gleichlautend für alle Vertragsparteien. Aus der Sicht des Umweltschutzes überwiegen die Vorteile dieser weltweiten Anwendung. Allerdings bringt diese auch Probleme mit sich, die bei der Auslegung der einzelnen Normen des Übereinkommens beginnen. Nicht nur die fortschreitende technische Entwicklung, auch bereits der heutige Stand der Technik kann eine Reduzierung der Schadstoffeinträge ermöglichen. Die Mehrheit der Reeder rüstet ihre Schiffe jedoch nur mit den vorgeschriebenen Anlagen aus, da sie kaufmännisch denken und handeln und sich aus freiwilligen, zusätzlichen Umweltschutzmaßnahmen keine direkte Gewinnsteigerung ergeben muss. Der Einfluss der Reeder auf Beschlussfassungen der IMO hat dazu geführt, dass es sich bei den MARPOL-Vorschriften nur um Mindeststandards handelt. Deutlich wird dies etwa an der Tatsache, dass durch MARPOL die Einleitungen von Schadstoffen unter bestimmten Bedingungen legalisiert sind und nur teilweise vollständig verboten wurden

Internationale Regulierung und die Praxis von Flagenstaaten. Eine global vergleichende Analyse. [International regulation and the practice of flag states: A global comparative analysis]
No full textNational religious tradition or foreign influence? Explaining the economic culture of South Korea.
No full textThis thesis tries to search for historical origins of two salient features of South Korean economic culture: authoritarianism and particularism. Contrary to prevailing opinion that these features originated from Confucianism, which was the state ideology in the Chosun dynasty, this work contends that they are rather influenced by the way how the country was modernized under foreign influences since the end of 19th century. Social Darwinism, Japanese colonial rule and Korean War caused by separation of the Korean peninsular by two foreign powers Soviet Union and USA have on the one hand fostered authoritarian view of state and society. On the other hand the injustice done by the colonial and Korean state has induces the Korean populace to mistrust the state and its official legal system, which fostered particularistic practices like sectionalism, cronyism and corruption
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
