About half of the senders are Jewish and nearly all the senders are writers or politicians, refugees from Hitler persecution. The correspondence contains many reports about the years of persecution.Part III contains published and unpublished manuscripts. Manuscripts in this collection contain the following titles: Die Alte Deutsche ; Beloved Josephine ; Die Berghexe ; Black Antisemitism ; Encounter with Benjamin Franklin ; Das Ende von Willi Mienzenberger ; Die Ermordung Leo Trotskys ; Flucht aus Frankreich ; Jean Gallatin ; George Mandel ; Die Geschichte von Clothilde ; Die Geschwister ; Goethe und amerikanische Schriftsteller ; Der gute Priester von St.Pierre ; Helpers in Hell ; Höhepunkte der amerikanischen Literatur ; Der Kampf mit dem Tisch ; Lessing und die Freimaurer ; The Negropress in the U.S. ; Oskar Wildes Hotelwirt ; Der Tod auf der Insel, ein westindisches Tagebuch, 139p. There is also a manuscript with notes and supplementary correspondence concerning the last years of Rudolf Breitscheid and Rudolf Hilferding in Vichy France: Das Ende Rudolf Breitscheid und Rudolf Hilferdings (1957)Part IV contains material concerning the eighteenth-century naturalist and revolutionary Johann Georg Forster and on the author Robert Breuer, a close friend of Kersten who died in Martinique.Part V is a large collection of newspaper essays by Kurt Kersten from 1937 to 1961.Born in Weldheiden bei Kassel on April 19, 1891, Kurt Kersten studied in Munich and Berlin and served in World War I. From 1919 to 1933 he worked as a freelance journalist in close association with left-wing expressionists. He made several trips to the USSR and contributed to the German Communist press. He emigrated to Switzerland in 1934, Czechoslovakia the same year, France in 1937, and the United States via Morocco and Martinique, 1940-1945. He was active in exile affairs and continued to work as an author and publicist. Kersten occasionally used the pseudonym Georg Forster. He died in New York City on May 18, 1962.digitize

No full textEvaluating the construct validity of the Trunk Impairment Scale: a Rasch analysis of its subscales
No full textBackground:The Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) evaluates static, dynamic sitting balance and trunk coordination in people after stroke. This study aimed to evaluate the construct validity of the subscales of the TIS.MethodA total of 162 participants (mean age 67, SD=11), in all stages after stroke, were included in the study. Rasch analysis (Partial Credit Model) was used (RUMM2020 software).ResultsThere were no disordered thresholds on any of the polytomous items. The static sitting balance subscale (SSB) did not fit the Rasch model (Chi-square=15.68; p=0.0004). Wewere unable to examine DIF due to a large number of extreme cases in the dataset. The dynamic sitting balance subscale (DSB) fitted the Rasch model (Bonferroni adjusted p value=0.005) after splitting item 2 by Barthel categories to adjust for uniform DIF (Chi-square=42.65; p=0.0052). The coordination subscale (COO) fitted the Rasch model and did not display uniform or non-uniform DIF (Chi-square=7.87; p=0.446). In DSB and COO fewer than 5% of the independent t-tests performed on person estimated locations were significant, further supporting unidimensionality of these subscales. Graphical explorationof thresholds for DSB and COO confirmed a hierarchy of dependent items. Person and items were well distributed across the continuum of balance impairment.DiscussionWe were unable to examine SSB in full and further work with patients with very severe static sitting balance impairments is needed. Item 2 of DSB needs to be given detailed attention before assessing people after stroke.ConclusionConstruct validity of two subscales was confirmed using Rasch analysis. Further work is needed to examine SSB
Integrability of Kupershmidt deformations
No full textWe prove that the Kupershmidt deformation of a bi-Hamiltonian system is itself bi-Hamiltonian. Moreover, Magri hierarchies of the initial system give rise to Magri hierarchies of Kupershmidt deformations as well. Since Kupershmidt deformations are not written in evolution form, we start with an outline a geometric framework to study Hamiltonian properties of general non-evolution differential equations, developed in Igonin et al. (to appear, 2009) (see also Kersten et al., In: Differential Equations: Geometry, Symmetries and Integrability, Springer, Berlin, 2009)
