    Trends of Europeanization in social welfare politics. IHS Political Science Series 82, July 2002

    No full text
    Fritz W. Scharpf (2000 and 2002) defines the term Europeanization as the progressive shift of governmental tasks to the European level. According to this understanding he identifies four modes of Europeanization. Further, he recognizes the establishment of minimum standards and the open method of co-ordination as specific modes of Europeanization. This paper first relates the welfare political goals and problems of both named methods of Europeanization in social welfare politics, then describes the political processes which accompany them, and subsequently tests whether Scharpf’s analysis can be affirmed

    Der eigene Ort – Safe Place-Arbeit mit essgestörten Jugendlichen in der Integrativen Kinder- und Jugendlichenpsychotherapie

    Die vorliegende Arbeit betrachtet das Konzept des Safe Place, wie es im Rahmen der Integrativen Therapie von Katz-Bernstein entwickelt wurde, und differenziert es anhand der klinischen Arbeit mit essgestörten jugendlichen Patientinnen weiter aus. Zunächst werden Diagnose, Ätiologie, Psychodynamik und Psychotherapie von Anorexia Nervosa und Bulimia Nervosa dargestellt, dann das körpertherapeutische Angebot innerhalb der Fachklinik für Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie in Bad Neuenahr erläutert, innerhalb dessen die Arbeit mit dem Safe Place stattfand. Diese wird vertiefend mit Aspekten des „potential space“ (Winnicott), der Bindungstheorie und den immanenten Möglichkeiten zur Abgrenzung in Beziehung gesetzt und anhand von drei Fallbeispielen veranschaulicht.This article discusses the Katz-Bernstein Integrative Therapy Concept of „Safe Place“ and expands it further by application in the treatment of in-patients with eating disorders.The author, a Movement Therapist at the Bad Neuenahr Clinic for Children andAdolescent Psychiatry, describes the Diagnosis, aetiology and Psychotherapy of Anorexia and Bulimia. Using three case Studies, specific aspects of „Safe Place“ as „Potential Space“ (Winnicott), attachment theory and the inherent possibilities of Marking Off are also illustrated in detail.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/polyloge/18-2008-hensler-ute-elisabeth-der-eigene-ort-safe-place-arbeit-mit-essgestoerten-jugendlichen/peerReviewedpublishedVersio

    Idiosyncratic species effects confound size-based predictions of responses to climate change

    No full text
    Understanding and predicting the consequences of warming for complex ecosystems and indeed individual species remains a major ecological challenge. Here, we investigated the effect of increased seawater temperatures on the metabolic and consumption rates of five distinct marine species. The experimental species reflected different trophic positions within a typical benthic East Atlantic food web, and included a herbivorous gastropod, a scavenging decapod, a predatory echinoderm, a decapod and a benthic-feeding fish. We examined the metabolism-body mass and consumption-body mass scaling for each species, and assessed changes in their consumption efficiencies. Our results indicate that body mass and temperature effects on metabolism were inconsistent across species and that some species were unable to meet metabolic demand at higher temperatures, thus highlighting the vulnerability of individual species to warming. While body size explains a large proportion of the variation in species' physiological responses to warming, it is clear that idiosyncratic species responses, irrespective of body size, complicate predictions of population and ecosystem level response to future scenarios of climate change

    Stepping in Elton’s footprints: a general scaling model for body masses and trophic levels across ecosystems

    Despite growing awareness of the significance of body-size and predator–prey body-mass ratios for the stability of ecological networks, our understanding of their distribution within ecosystems is incomplete. Here, we study the relationships between predator and prey size, body-mass ratios and predator trophic levels using body-mass estimates of 1313 predators (invertebrates, ectotherm and endotherm vertebrates) from 35 food-webs (marine, stream, lake and terrestrial). Across all ecosystem and predator types, except for streams (which appear to have a different size structure in their predator–prey interactions), we find that (1) geometric mean prey mass increases with predator mass with a power-law exponent greater than unity and (2) predator size increases with trophic level. Consistent with our theoretical derivations, we show that the quantitative nature of these relationships implies systematic decreases in predator–prey body-mass ratios with the trophic level of the predator. Thus, predators are, on an average, more similar in size to their prey at the top of food-webs than that closer to the base. These findings contradict the traditional Eltonian paradigm and have implications for our understanding of body-mass constraints on food-web topology, community dynamics and stability

    A speech understanding and dialog system with a homogeneous linguistic knowledge base

    Mast M, Kummert F, Ehrlich U, et al. A speech understanding and dialog system with a homogeneous linguistic knowledge base. IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence. 1994;16(2):179-194.This article presents the speech understanding and dialog system EVAR. All levels of linguistic knowledge are used both to control the analysis process and for the interpretation of an utterance. All kinds of knowledge are integrated in a homogeneous knowledge base. The control algorithm used for the analysis is defined within the representation scheme and does not depend on the application. One of the aims of EVAR is to develop a system structure where linguistic and non-linguistic expectations could be used not only for the interpretation but also as predictions for the recognition process
