Gender and pedagogics - Mathilde Vaerting, professor of educational science (Jena, 1923-1933)
No full textDer Aufsatz skizziert Leben und Karriere von Mathilde Vaerting (1884-1977), der ersten Professorin für Erziehungswissenschaft in Deutschland, Jena 1923-1933. Ihr Hauptwerk „Neubegründung der Psychologie von Mann und Weib", 1921ff., wird unter Aspekten der Forschungslogik analysiert und auf Konsequenzen für die Erziehungswissenschaft befragt. Ihre Forderung nach Gleichberechtigung und Abwehr jeglicher Herrschaft werden vor dem Hintergrund heutiger feministischer Forderungen diskutiert. Im Anschluß an die Betrachtung der zeitgenössischen Rezeption Mathilde Vaertings wird die Frage aufgeworfen, inwieweit ihr Leben und ihre Karriere die Stellung der Frau in der Wissenschaft während der zwanziger Jahre (und auch später?) spiegeln. (DIPF/Orig.)The author outlines the biography and career of Mathilde Vaerting (1884-1977), the first woman to hold a chair in educational science in Germany. Her major work - Neubegründung der Psychologie von Mannund Weib (1921 fol.) - is analyzed from a methodological point of view and with respect to its implications for educational research. Vaerting\u27s demands for equal rights for women and her rejection of any kind of domination are discussed within the framework of present feminist positions. After having studied how contemporaries reacted to Mathilde Vaerting\u27s writings, the author raises the question of whether Vaerting\u27s life and career reflect the Status of women in science during the 1920s (and later on?).

Effi Briest, Mathilde Möhring. The Development of Theodor Fontane's Female Characters on the Background of Women Emancipation.
No full textTheodore Fontane is best known as the author of numerous women's novels, which he wrote in the last ten years of his life. This diploma thesis deals with the topic of women's emancipation on the basis of textual analysis of two latter novels by Theodore Fontane - Effi Briest and Mathilde Möhring. In the first part, it characterizes the topic of the period women's emancipation and puts the author's biography into context. In the second part, it creates the picture of position of the main women characters. The last part describes the personal development of the women characters, on the basis of which I determine how much the women's emancipation reflects in the author's work and what is his attitude towards it. This thesis deals with the interpretation of the author's intent to illustrate the creation of an advanced character like Mathilde Möhring. Key words: Theodore Fontane, women's emancipation, Effi Briest, Mathilde Möhring, development of women's characters, women's novels, interpretation, author's intent, counterpoin

Tato práce zpracovává na základě analýzy textu téma ženské emancipace v jeho dvou pozdějších románech - Manželství Effi Briestové a Mathilda Möhringová. V první části charakterizuje téma dobové ženské emancipace a zasazuje autorovu biografii do kontextu. V druhé části utváří obraz pozice hlavních románových hrdinek. V poslední části je shrnut osobní vývoj ženských postav, na jejímž základě má být zodpovězena otázka, nakolik se ženská emancipace odráží v autorově díle a jaký je jeho postoj k ní. Práce se zároveň zabývá intepretací autorova záměru, který vytvořil postavu pokročilé Mathildy Möhringové, čímž dosáhl kontrapunktu k tomu, co doposud psal.

Impact of biogeochemical processes on pH dynamics in marine systems
No full textUptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere has resulted in a range of changes in ocean chemistry, including the lowering of pH, collectively referred to as ocean acidification. Rates of coastal-zone acidification exceed those of the open ocean since coastal-ocean pH is influenced by many other processes than absorption of CO2 alone. These processes do not only play a role in long-term acidification but also impact pH on seasonal timescales. Examples are enhanced atmospheric sulphur and nitrogen deposition, as well as eutrophication, the latter which can additionally result in the development of low-oxygen waters. The degree to which these processes induce a change in pH depends both on their rates and the extent to which the water can buffer acid production or consumption. This acid-base buffering capacity has been shown to decrease substantially in hypoxic waters, suggesting that low-oxygen conditions exacerbate ocean acidification. In this dissertation the key factors controlling the seasonal pH variability and longer-term pH changes in both the coastal and open ocean were examined, showing that buffering mechanisms play a crucial role in the impact of any biogeochemical or physical process on pH.
Monthly or seasonal water-column chemistry and process-rate measurements in a transiently hypoxic coastal marine basin indicate that, despite generally higher process rates in the surface water of the basin, the amplitude of pH variability as mainly governed by the balance between primary production and respiration is greater in the seasonally-hypoxic bottom water, due to a considerable reduction of its acid-base buffering capacity in summer. A proton budget, based on these measurements and set up for each season, shows that the net change in pH is much smaller than the flux of protons induced by each of the individual processes.
The interplay between absorption of atmospheric CO2 and atmospheric sulphur and nitrogen deposition in the coastal ocean was found to depend on the water-column concentration of CO2 relative to the atmosphere. If the atmospheric concentration surpasses that of the surface water, then this part of the coastal ocean is most sensitive to CO2-induced acidification, but least affected by additional acidification resulting from atmospheric acid deposition. Although coastal seas will become up to a factor 4 more sensitive to atmospheric deposition-induced acidification between the present-day and 2100, the annual change in proton concentration will only increase by 28% at most.
Finally, a set of general expressions describing the sensitivity of pH to a change in ocean chemistry was derived. These expressions, which can include as many acid-base systems as relevant and are thus generally applicable, were tested on several long-term open ocean data sets. For each of these sites, pH can be properly predicted if seasonal cycles of temperature, salinity, total alkalinity (TA) and the total concentrations of acid-base species are known. By the end of the 21st century a change in most acid-base parameters will induce a comparably greater pH excursion. This increased vulnerability is driven by enhanced CO2 concentrations and slightly moderated by the projected global warming

Tunisian Politics in France: Long-Distance Activism since the 1980s
No full textInternational audienceWhat does it mean to oppose or support an authoritarian regime from afar? During the years of Ben Ali's dictatorship in Tunisia between 1987 and 2011, diaspora activism played a key role in the developments of post-independence Tunisian politics. Centring this study on long-distance activism in France, where the majority of leftist and Islamist exile groups took refuge, Mathilde Zederman explores how this activism helps to shed new light on Tunisia's political history. Tunisian Politics in France closely explores the interactions and conflicts between different constellations of pro-regime and oppositional actors in France, examining the dynamics of what the author persuasively describes as a 'trans-state space of mobilisation'. In doing so, Zederman draws attention to the constraints and possibilities of long-distance activism. Utilising material gathered from extensive fieldwork in France and Tunisia, this study considers how the evolution of diaspora activism both challenges and reinforces the boundaries of Tunisian politics
