Figur - Figura - Figuration: E.T.A. Hoffmann
No full textE.T.A. Hoffmann gilt als Dichter der Verwandlungen, Verdoppelungen und Metamorphosen; ohne dass dabei evident wäre, wer oder was denn eigentlich Subjekt – oder Objekt? – dieser Alterationen sei. Dieser Unschärfe entspricht der literaturwissenschaftliche Umgang mit dem Konzept „Figur“, das als Trias von Figur · Figura · Figuration geeignet scheint, die wissenschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit für die tropologische Dimension sprachlicher Darstellung nicht allein zu ergänzen, sondern sie erweiternd zu integrieren. Die narrative Behauptung einer Verwandlung provoziert dabei nicht allein die Frage nach der Einheit des Einen und seiner Abhängigkeit von dem Anderen, das es zugleich produziert, sondern vor allem nach der sprachlichen Verfasstheit dieses Prozesses. Im Sonderfall der in Verwandlung begriffenen, von Hoffmann nie be-, sondern allein geschriebenen literarischen Figur, die immer schon Figuration, niemals festgestellte Entität ist, zeigt sich jene insistierbar rekurrente Bewegung des Zusammenlesens und Auseinanderfallens, der jede Semiose unterliegt. Hoffmanns Schreiben, so der gemeinsame Ansatz der textnahen, methodologisch reflektierten Hoffmann- Lektüren des Sammelbandes, bietet dabei nicht allein unter dem Aspekt literarischer Metamorphosen einen produktiven Ansatz zur Entwicklung einer poetologisch- epistemologisch orientierten Figurologie.

Role of oxygen vacancies for resistive switching in noble metal sandwiched Pr<sub>0.67</sub>Ca<sub>0.33</sub>MnO<sub>3-δ</sub>
No full textNon-volatile resistance change under electric stimulation in oxides is a promising path to next generation memory devices. However, the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. We report here on the study of switching in Pr0.67Ca0.33MnO3-delta (PCMO) films sandwiched by noble metal Pt electrodes, where electrode oxidation can be excluded. In order to develop an understanding of the switching induced oxygen migration, its initial concentration is modified by post-annealing of the deposited PCMO films. The oxygen distribution is obtained by manganese valence determination using spatially resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy in scanning transmission electron microscopy mode. We observe correlations between virgin state resistance, resistive switching properties, oxygen vacancy distribution, and stress/strain state of the PCMO films and propose a simplified interface resistance model based on the measured valence distribution. It assumes a linear correlation of oxygen vacancy concentration with conductivity and a metal to insulator transition above a critical vacancy concentration threshold. Our results suggest that resistance changes can take place at both interfaces of symmetric devices and only requires small changes in oxygen vacancy concentration. (C) 2017 Author(s).

Hip Fractures: Therapy, Timing, and Complication Spectrum
No full textObjective Investigation of the treatment of femur fractures and the type of femur fracture‐associated complications regarding timing of surgery and length of hospital stay. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 358 hip fractures were evaluated retrospectively from 1 January 2008 until 31 December 2010 at a level I trauma center in Germany. Inclusion criteria was age >18 years and a proximal femur fracture. Both sexes were evaluated. Mean age was 75.5 years, most patients were female (63.7%). Intervention was the operative treatment of proximal femur fracture. Outcome parameters were time until surgery, complications, reoperations, mortality, and length of hospital stay. Results Among the proximal femur fractures (n = 358), 46.6% were pertrochanteric, 11.2% subtrochanteric, and 42.2% femoral neck fractures. Operation upon hip fractures was managed regularly within 24 hours of injury (73%; mean for femoral neck: 28.3 hrs.; mean for pertrochanteric fractures: 21.4 hrs.; mean for subtrochanteric fractures: 19.5 hrs.). Delayed treatment, as well as implantation of hip total endoprosthesis (TEP), increased the overall length of hospital stay (15.4 vs 17.6 days; 18.1 vs 15.8 days). Accordingly, surgical procedures performed within 24 hours of injury resulted in a shorter hospital residence. Longest delay of operation was measured for hip fractures (28.3 hrs.). In 351 patients, secondary injuries were detected in 94 individuals (26%), with fractures being the most common secondary injury (n = 40). We recorded postoperative complications of nonsurgical and surgical origin, and 33.6% of our patient cohort displayed complications. Complications were distributed among 118 patients. There was no significant difference in complications regarding the time of operation, with most nonsurgical and surgical complications appearing within 24 hours after operation (n = 110 vs n = 31). Nonsurgical complications, such as anemia (n = 49) and electrolyte imbalances (n = 30), were observed more frequently than surgical complications (n = 107 vs n = 34); however, these complications were reduced by delay in surgery (82.0% in 6–24 hrs. vs 74.2% in ≥24 hrs.). Anticoagulant therapy and age did not affect postoperative complications. The hospital mortality of patients was 6.2%. Follow‐up was restrained to ambulatory visits in the clinic. Conclusions Surgical management of hip fractures performed within 24 hours of injury minimizes hospital stay. We did not detect significant differences in the spectrum or number of complications regarding delay of surgery. Surgical complications mainly occur with rapid primary care, and medical complications can be reduced by more intensive preparation of patient and operation procedures
Emerging Middle Powers’ Soft Balancing Strategy: State and Perspectives of the IBSA Dialogue Forum
No full textHow can weaker states influence stronger ones? This article offers a case study of one recent exercise in coalition building among Southern middle powers, the ‘India, Brazil, South Africa (IBSA) Dialogue Forum’. The analysis outlines five major points: first, it argues that the three emerging players can be defined as middle powers in order to frame their foreign policy behavior and options at the global level. Second, soft balancing is a suitable concept to explain IBSA’s strategy in global institutions. Third, institutional foreign policy instruments are of pivotal significance in IBSA’s soft balancing strategy. Fourth, the potential gains of IBSA’s sector cooperation, particularly in trade, are limited due to a lack of complementarity of the three economies. And fifth, IBSA’s perspectives and impact on the international system will depend on four variables: IBSA’s ability to focus on distinct areas of cooperation, the consolidation of its common strategy of soft balancing, the institutionalization of IBSA, and its enlargement in order to obtain more weight in global bargains.India, Brazil, South Africa, IBSA Dialogue Forum, middle power, foreign policy, international relations, South-South relations
