Propositionwise judgment aggregation
No full textIn the theory of judgment aggregation, it is known for which agendas of propositions it is possible to aggregate individual judgments into collective ones in accordance with the Arrow-inspired requirements of universal domain, collective rationality, unanimity preservation, non-dictatorship and propositionwise independence. But it is only partially known for which agendas it is possible to respect additional requirements, notably non-oligarchy, anonymity, no individual veto power, or implication preservation. We fully characterize the agendas for which there are such possibilities, thereby answering the most salient open questions about propositionwise judgment aggregation. Our results build on earlier results by Nehring and Puppe (2002), Nehring (2006) and Dietrich and List (2007a).mathematical economics;
EPISTEMIC FOUNDATIONS OF SOLUTION CONCEPTS IN GAME THEORY: AN INTRODUCTION
No full textWe give an introduction to the literature on the epistemic foundations of solution concepts in game theory. Only normal-form games are considered. The solution concepts analyzed are rationalizability, strong rationalizability, correlated equilibrium and Nash equilibrium. The analysis is carried out locally in terms of properties of the belief hierarchies. Several examples are used throughout to illustrate definitions and concepts.

Generalized distribution based diversity measurement: Survey and unification
No full textSocial and natural sciences employ a number of different measures of diversity. The presents paper surveys those depending on the distribution of abundances among a given set of categories. Characteristic properties of the measures are generalized and a unifying notation is derived. It is argued that such unification enables scientists and decision makers to measure distribution based diversity in a new, more flexible manner, and represents a useful complement to models of generalized feature based diversity, such as Nehring and Puppe’s (2002) theory of diversity.Diversity measurement; Generalization; Non–additivity; Concavity; Numbers equivalence
Nauczanie języka polskiego na Uniwersytecie Wrocławskim w czasach Władysława Nehringa
No full textTeaching of Polish at the University of Wrocław in Władysław Nehring’s timesThe article examines the teaching of the Polish language at the University of Wrocław in the second half of the 19th century, when the Department of Slavic Literatures and Languages was chaired by Władysław Nehring. The author lists and briefly describes language teachers working there at the time Jan Mikołaj Fritz, Wincenty Kraiński, Rafał Löwenfeld and Rudolf Abicht as well as the conditions in which they worked. She also presents language textbooks used at the university, pointing to their characteristic features and interesting methodological solutions. The textbooks included J. Popliński’s Grammatik der polnischen Sprache nach Kopczyński, Cassius, Bandtke und Mroziński, several editions of which were published. Two editions were by Władysław Nehring, who incorporated into them more recent developments in 19th-century linguistics. Under Nehring’s leadership the teaching of Polish developed, though it was constantly plagued by staff- and funding-related problems.Teaching of Polish at the University of Wrocław in Władysław Nehring’s timesThe article examines the teaching of the Polish language at the University of Wrocław in the second half of the 19th century, when the Department of Slavic Literatures and Languages was chaired by Władysław Nehring.

Adorno is a punk rocker: Negation and 80s alternative rock music
No full textIt is a “rite of passage” for the aspiring pop music scholar, myself included, to refute Theodor Adorno’s well-known condemnation of popular music (Gendron, 1986; Toynbee, 2000: 3-8; Middleton, 1990: 34-63). But why has the Adorno refutation remained so central to our critical endeavour? Isn’t it time we moved on
Spalax graecus Nehring 1898
No full text20. Bukovina Blind Mole-rat Spalax graecus French: Spalax de Bucovine / German: Bukowina-Blindmaus / Spanish: Rata topo ciega de Bucovina Other common names: Balkan Blind Mole-rat, Balkan Mole-rat Taxonomy. Spalax graecus Nehring, 1898, vicinity of Athens, Greece. Corrected by V. A. Topachevskii in 1969 to the vicinity of Chernovtsy, Bukovina Region, Ukraine. Spalax graecus is a member of the S. graecus species group that is characterized by elongated nasal bones and higher position of sella externa of the mandible relative to sella interna and is supported by mitochondrial data. It was traditionally united with S. istricus and S. antiquus into a single species (S. graecus). In an analysis of mtDNA, A. Németh and colleagues in 2013 demonstrated that S. graecus and S. antiqguus exhibited considerable genetic divergence that was comparable to species-level differences among other Spalax. They also demonstrated clear morphological differences among S. graecus, S. antiquus, and S. istricus that lead them to conclude that these represent distinct species. Monotypic. Distribution. SW Ukraine and NE Romania. Descriptive notes. Head-body 217-280 mm, no visible external tail; weight 415-700 g. Bukovina Blind Mole-rat has soft and moderately long fur. Most of dorsal surface is butt, and venter and head are grayish. According to Németh and colleagues in 2013, the Bukovina Blind Mole-rat differs from other members of the S. graecus species group in having nasals that extend posteriorly beyond premaxilla and a flat bottom of incisura corono-alveolaris. Diploid numberis 2n = 62. Habitat. Strands of perennial grasses, steppes, and agricultural fields in the hilly Bukovina region of Romania and Ukraine. The Bukovina Blind Mole-rat can occur in roadsides, pastures, beet and potato fields, gardens, and forest edge but not deep forest. Itis currently known from 13 localities, bordered on the east by the Prut River and on the west by the Carpathian Mountains. Ecological niche modeling suggests that suitable habitat may be found at elevations of 39-848 m. Food and Feeding. The Bukovina Blind Mole-rat feeds on a variety of plants including dropwort (Filipendula hexapetala, Rosaceae), yarrow (Achillea millefolium, Asteraceae), plantain (Plantago media, Plantaginaceae), couch grass (Elytrigia repens, Poaceae), comfrey (Symphytum officinale, Boraginaceae), and chicory (Cichorium intybus, Asteraceae). Winter food stores weigh 0.4-12 kg. Breeding. Female Bukovina Blind Mole-rats breed in their second year. Breeding activity begins in January, peaks in February, and can continue into March. Females will give birth to 2—4 young in March-April. Young weigh 18-20 g and are weaned after c.3 weeks. They disperse aboveground in late April through May. Activity patterns. No information. Movements, Home range and Social organization. Bukovina Blind Mole-rats are solitary. Burrows are constructed in relatively dry soil and usually reach maximum depths of 1 m (up to 3-5 m). Feeding tunnels occur at depths of 20-25 cm in spring and summer and 30-35 cm in winter. One or two nest chambers and multiple toilet and storage chambers are present. In the past, densities had been recorded at 1-10 ind/ ha in agricultural areas but up to 23 ind/ha under more natural conditions. Current densities in agricultural areas are closer to 0-2-2 ind/ha. Predators include foxes, mustelids, and, when dispersing, raptors. Status and Conservation. Classified as Near Threatened on The IUCN Red List. The assessment includes the Oltenia Blind Mole-rat (S. istricus) and Mehely’s Blind Mole-rat (S. antiquus). It has a small range of occupancy and has not been recorded in Romania since the 1960s or in Ukraine over the last 20-40 years. Additional conservation assessment of the Bukovina Blind Mole-rat separate from the Oltenia Blind Mole-rat and Mehely’s Blind Mole-rat is needed. Bibliography. Chisamera et al. (2014), Hadid et al.

A KKM-RESULT AND AN APPLICATION FOR BINARY AND NON-BINARY CHOICE FUNCTIONS
No full textBy generalizing the classical Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz Theorem, we obtain a result that provides sufficient conditions to ensure the non-emptiness of several kinds of choice functions. This result generalizes well-known results on the existence of maximal elements for binary relations (Bergstrom, 1975; Walker, 1977; Tian, 1993), on the non-emptiness of non-binary choice functions (Nehring, 1996; Llinares and Sánchez, 1999) and on the non-emptiness of some classical solutions for tournaments (top cycle and uncovered set) on non-finite sets.Binary Choice Function; Non-Binary Choice Function
