Deutsche Literaturgeschichtsschreibung bei den Slowenen: Anastasius Grün und der Polyhistor Peter von Radics
No full textInternational audienceThe article discusses the festschrift Anastasius Grün und seine Heimat (Stuttgart 1876), written by the Carniolan polyhistor Peter von Radics (1836-1912) on the occasion of the 70 th birthday of the Austrian Vormärz poet Anastasius Grün (1806-1876). It analyses the ideal-aesthetic aspects of Grün's poems, which the author regarded as constitutive, the motifs of freedom of thought and harmony of nations, which are linked to universal claims, and the particular motif of morality, based on German education and culture, and places them in an identity-creating perspective. Furthermore, light is shed on the significance of the individual poetics of the jubilarian and the historical contextualisation of Radics' argumentation. We intend to analyse the ideological foundations and the methodological approaches of his monograph. The article aims at providing a better understanding of Radics' position in the literary and cultural-historical discourse of the time and the status of Radics' monograph in literary historiography among the Slovenes.</div
Dunajčanka v Ljubljani: Medkulturno delovanje Hedwig pl. Radics-Kaltenbrunner
Get PDFBased on archival and newspaper sources, this article presents the life and work of the journalist, editor, critic, and social activist Hedwig von Radics-Kaltenbrunner (1845–1919). She spent her youth in Vienna and the rest of her life in Ljubljana. Thus the main question dealt with in the article is to what extent her Viennese experience and other European models influenced her work in Carniola. In addition, this article evaluates and defines the importance of the intercultural links she forged with important figures across Europe, and contextualizes this “forgotten” author within Slovenian cultural history.Prispevek na podlagi arhivskih in časopisnih virov prikazuje življenje in delo publicistke, urednice, kritičarke in družbeno angažirane Hedwig pl. Radics-Kaltenbrunner (1845–1919). Mladost je preživela na Dunaju, drugo polovico svojega življenja pa v Ljubljani, zato je v ospredju vprašanje, v kolikšni meri so njene dunajske izkušnje in drugi evropski vzori vplivali na njeno delovanje na Kranjskem. Prispevek ovrednoti in opredeli pomen medkulturnih vezi, ki jih je stkala z vidnimi osebnostmi po Evropi, ter »pozabljeno« ustvarjalko umešča v slovensko kulturno zgodovino

Kulturelle Selbstverortung und Identitätsfrage: der Krainer Polyhistor Peter von Radics (1836-1912) zwischen zwei Sprachen und Kulturen
Get PDFThis article focuses on the life and creative path of the Carniolian polymath,many-faceted researcher, historian, German specialist, and theater specialist Peter von Radics (1836-1912), who was born in Postojna (Adelsberg) but did not have Carniolan roots. Based on this case study, the author examines the issues of what characterized an intellectual working in Carniola in the nineteenth century, what his place in society was, and what his understanding of his own identity was. The article also examines the hypothesis that one can speak of at least three identities in the nineteenth-century Slovenian lands - regional, ethnic, and dynastic (Habsburg), sheds light on the conditions that marked Radicsʼ life and work, and seeks to explain why he chose to live in the microcosm of Carniola rather than seeking his fortune as a journalist, researcher, and author in the centerof the monarchy, in Vienna
STUDY ON THE ECONOMIC EFFECT OF PRODUCTION FREE FROM CHEMICAL USE
Get PDFThe assumption, that in case of production different from the conventional one, operational and production risk are increasing in farms, is supported by the calculations. Input/output relations undergo a change in each sector and this may have serious financial outcomes, which would importantly determine profit yielding capacity and efficiency of farming. The statement of Offermann and Nieberg is true of the cost structure, according to which essential cost difference between the two technologies can not be measured. By the aid of the calculation, it was successfully verified – in compliance with the opinion of Wookey – that organic production can be as profitable, as the conventional production or even more so. In contradiction to Bmvel’s data, it can be demonstrated, that even a revenues, surpassing the result of conventional production may be realized in organic farms. On the whole, the results obtained strengthen the standing-point of Szente, according to which the profit, originating from organic production may be higher, than that from conventional production, although it fails already to reach the saliently high values, which were characteristic of the earlier years. In production technology, upon the effect of the change in operational elements and elimination of chemical use, increased yield risk is to be taken into account, although at the same time, the possibility of a more successful operation will in-crease through the market premium price. Subsidy of each technology is different, which means, that allowances associated with the expectable future much better environment-saving technologies will further increase profitability. Also market changes may promote this process, since consumers and institutions become increasingly disposed to take a turn to goods, produced free from chemicals. It is indicated also by statistical data, that more and more producers are dealing with organic production and also the size of areas turned on organic farming is continuously increasing. The rhythm of the development of organic markets is still lagging behind this, but the possibility is open to the agricultural sector being in process of transition. Conventional agriculture is yet unable to produce commodities, suitable for satisfaction of all demands of consumers in every respect, and also efficiency and profitability of production are very low, several sectors can be operated with loss only.organic farming, turning on, profitability, Agribusiness, Crop Production/Industries, Environmental Economics and Policy, Farm Management,

No full textModels of probabilistic category learning in Parkinson's disease: Strategy use and the effects of L-dopa
No full textProbabilistic category learning (PCL) has become an increasingly popular paradigm to study the brain bases of learning and memory. It has been argued that PCL relies on procedural habit learning, which is impaired in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, as PD patients were typically tested under medication, it is possible that levodopa (L-dopa) caused impaired performance in PCL. We present formal models of rule-based strategy switching in PCL, to re-analyse the data from [Jahanshahi, M., Wilkinson, L, Gahir, H., Dharminda, A., & Lagnado, D.A., (2009). Medication impairs probabilistic classification learning in Parkinson's disease. Manuscript submitted for publication] comparing PD patients on and off medication (within subjects) to matched controls. Our analysis shows that PD patients followed a similar strategy switch process as controls when off medication, but not when on medication. On medication, PD patients mainly followed a random guessing strategy, with only few switching to the better Single Cue strategies. PD patients on medication and controls made more use of the optimal Multi-Cue strategy. In addition, while controls and PD patients off medication only switched to strategies which did not decrease performance, strategy switches of PD patients on medication were not always directed as such. Finally, results indicated that PD patients on medication responded according to a probability matching strategy indicative of associative learning, while the behaviour of PD patients off medication and controls was consistent with a rule-based hypothesis testing procedure.

Abstract
The aim of the ASACUSA-CUSP experiment at CERN is to produce a cold, polarised antihydrogen beam and perform a high precision measurement of the ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the antihydrogen atom and compare it with that of the hydrogen atom using the same spectroscopic beam line. Towards this goal a significant step was successfully accomplished: synthesised antihydrogen atoms have been produced in a CUSP magnetic configuration and detected at the end of our spectrometer beam line in 2012 [1]. During a long shut down at CERN the ASACUSA-CUSP experiment had been renewed by introducing a new double-CUSP magnetic configuration and a new semi-cylindrical tracking detector (AMT) [2], and by improving the transport feature of low energy antiproton beams. The new tracking detector monitors the antihydrogen synthesis during the mixing cycle of antiprotons and positrons. In this work the latest results and improvements of the antihydrogen synthesis will be presented including highlights from the last beam time
