    Eigene Aktien im Konzern : Gilt das neue Aktivierungsverbot auch für die Tochter, die Aktien der Mutter hält?

    No full text
    Nach neuem Rechnungslegungsrecht dürfen eigene Aktien nicht mehr aktiviert werden. Vergessen worden ist die Regelung der Frage, wie vorzugehen ist, wenn die eigenen Aktien der Mutter durch eine Tochtergesellschaft erworben werden; die gesetzliche Regel, dass die Mutter in diesem Fall die Reserve zu bilden hat, führt zu einem Fehlbetrag, der aber beseitigt werden kann, wenn die eigenen Aktien der Mutter bei der Tochter nicht aktiviert werden

    Translating Brecht : versions of "Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder" for the British stage

    No full text
    This study analyses five British translations of Bertolt Brecht's 'Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder'. Two of these translations were written by speakers of German, and three by well-known British playwrights with no knowledge of the source text language. Four have been produced in mainstream British theatres in the past twenty-five years. The study applies translation studies methodology to a textual analysis which focuses on the translation of techniques of linguistic "Verfremdung", as well as linguistic expression of the comedy and of the political dimension in the work. It thus closes the gap in current Brecht research in examining the importance of his idiosyncratic use of language to the translation and reception of his work in the UK. The study assesses the ways in which the translator and director are influenced by Brecht's legacy in the UK and in turn, what image of Brecht they mediate through the production on stage. To this end, the study throws light on the formation of Brecht's problematic reputation in the UK, and it also highlights the social and political circumstances in early twentieth century Germany which prompted Brecht to develop his theory of an epic theatre. The focus on a linguistic examination allows the translator's contribution to the production process to be isolated. Together with an investigation of the reception of each performance text, this in turn facilitates a more accurate assessment of the translator and director's respective influence in the process of transforming a foreign-language text onto a local stage. The analysis also sheds light on the different approaches taken by speakers of German, and playwrights creating an English version from a literal translation. It pinpoints losses in translation and adaptation, and suggests how future versions may avoid these

    Molecular genetic and physiological studies to unravel the mystery of Sphingomonas wittichii RW1 dibenzo-p-dioxin degradation

    Dibenzofuran and dibenzo-p-dioxin are ubiquitous environmental pollutants in soil and sediment. Sphingomonas wittichii RW1 is one of a few strains known for the ability to grow on the related compounds dibenzofuran (DBF) and dibenzo-p-dioxin (DXN) as the sole source of carbon. The genes for the initial steps in the DBF catabolic pathway (ring hydroxylating dioxygenase, ring cleavage dioxygenase, and a hydrolase) which result in the formation of salicylate and a five-carbon fragment have been localized to a mega-plasmid designated pSWIT02 in RW1. Plasmids highly similar to pSWIT02 have been found in other DBF degrading Sphingomonas strains. However, despite having the pSWIT02-encoded DBF degradation pathway these other bacteria are not capable of growth on DXN. This thesis describes involvement of chromosomally encoded genes in dibenzo-p-dioxin degradation by RW1. RW1 lacking the pSWIT02 dbfB gene grows extremely slowly on DBF and accumulates the ring cleavage substrate 2,2',3-trihydroxybiphenyl. The mutant grows normally on DXN as the sole source of carbon indicating that dbfB is not necessary for the DXN catabolic pathway and suggesting involvement of other ring cleavage dioxygenases in DXN pathway. Knockout of gene SWIT3046 resulted in a strain that grows normally on DBF but that does not grow on DXN. The double knockout does not grow on either DBF or DXN. These results prove that separate ring cleavage enzymes are necessary for DBF and DXN degradation.We then examined the third enzymatic step in RW1, the hydrolase. RW1 lacking the pSWIT02 encoded gene dxnB1 or the chromosome encoded gene dxnB2 grow normally on both DBF and DXN. A double knockout of both genes does not grow on DBF but still grows on DXN. We then examined previously published transcriptomic data that showed that the SWIT0910 encoded hydrolase is up regulated during growth on DBF and DXN. A knockout of SWIT0910 grows normally on DBF but does not grow on DXN. Our results demonstrate that a chromosomally encoded hydrolase, SWIT0910, is absolutely required for growth on DXN and that two different hydrolases (chromosomally and plasmid encoded) contribute equally to growth on DBF.Genes for three biphenyl ring cleavage dioxygenases from Burkholderia xenovorans LB400, Sphingomonas yanoikuyae B1, and Pseudomonas putida F1 were moved into a mutant lacking the RW1 DBF and DXN ring cleavage genes. All three ring cleavage dioxygenases allowed the mutant RW1 to grow on DBF at different rates. Interestingly, only bphC from Burkholderia xenovorans LB400 allowed RW1 mutant to grow on DXN.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical reference

    Multiple Synchronous Squamous Cell Cancers of the Skin and Esophagus: Differential Management of Primary Versus Secondary Tumor

    No full text
    Multiple primary tumors are uncommon in patients with squamous cell esophageal cancer. Conventional imaging methods have limitations in detecting those tumors. Although 18-F-fluoro-deoxyglucose-positron emission tomography scanner increases the detection of multiple synchronous tumors in patients with other malignancies, its contribution in patients with squamous cell esophageal cancer has not been assessed as it is not systematically performed. The detection of synchronous skin squamous cell tumors in patients with squamous cell esophageal cancer presents a challenge for making diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. A metastatic tumor leads to palliative management, whereas the diagnosis of a primary skin tumor requires curative treatment of both squamous cell tumors. Pathological evaluation appears crucial in the decision

    Mutter matter:murmurings from the drawing room table

    ‘Mutter matter; murmurings from the Drawing Room Table’, a collaborative, site responsive installation by Jane Fox and Irene Mensah was developed and shown at Pitzhanger Manor House, London W5 in June/July 2012 at the invitation of curator Carol Swords. The work attends to the fragile and elusive nature of memory and the significance of domestic objects and materials in exploring and re-siting the past. It builds on the artists’ previous work ‘Mutter Matter - murmurings from the kitchen table’ selected by curator Celia Davies for ‘House’ festival, May 2011 at The Regency Town House, Brighton. The impetus for the work was two domestic books, each inherited from a grandmother: ‘Enquire Within Upon Everything’ 114th edition, 1929 inherited from Hilda Fox (Fox) and ‘Quotations and Recipes’ 1931, Wisbech, inherited from Lily Shaw (Mensah). The books provided a lens through which the artists explored their own and their grandmother’s lives via collisions of memory and material, and in conversation between themselves in an original re-working of recipes, texts and domestic convention, and in response to site. At Pitzhanger Manor, owned by the architect Sir John Soane from 1800 -1809, a new voice enters the dialogue – Dr William Kitchiner, Regency cook and author of ‘The Cook's Oracle’ (4th edition 1822). ‘Mutter matter; murmurings from the Drawing Room table’ draws on this and other traces from Soane family life to expand and hone the work, creating new collisions and resonances within its layers. The artists tread a careful collaborative path and test a range of shared creative strategies within which to hold and develop a multi faceted artwork. ‘Mutter matter; murmurings from the drawing room table’ was funded by Grants for the Arts, Arts Council England and supported by Wright’s Baking and PM Gallery and House

    Um herauszufinden, wie gut sich Frauen in der Zeit vor, während und nach der Geburt in der Schweiz betreut fühlen, führte die Sektion COST Action Schweiz 2014-2015 eine Online Umfrage durch. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit sollen nun die Resultate dieses ersten Befragungsdurchgangs mit Hilfe des Statistikprogramms SPSS aufbereitet und analysiert werden. Die Ergebnisse beziehen sich auf die am besten bewerteten Aspekte der Betreuung, auf die wichtigsten Änderungswünsche, auf Probleme während Schwangerschaft und Geburt, sowie auf den Geburtsort. Bei der Analyse der Daten stellte sich heraus, dass die meisten Frauen ihre Kinder im Kreissaal zur Welt brachten und dabei grösstenteils von Hebammen betreut wurden. Am besten wurde die Betreuung durch die Hebamme bewertet. Die Antworten zeigen, welch hohen Stellenwert die Betreuung durch die zuständigen Fachpersonen in dieser Zeit hat. Da die Zeit während der Schwangerschaft sowie vor und unmittelbar nach der Geburt für die Frauen mit vielen Unsicherheiten verbunden ist, wirkt eine gute Betreuung als Schutzfaktor vor Stress. Besondere Beachtung sollte in Zukunft der Betreuung von Mutter und Kind nach der Geburt geschenkt werden

    No full text
    The aim of this bachelor thesis is to create a functionally equivalent translation of the selected chapters of the book Anne-Sophie Mutter. Die Schönheit des Violinklanges, written by the German author Alfred Stenger. The thesis is divided into five parts. The first one is of a practical nature. It consists of a German-Czech translation. The remaining four parts are of a theoretical nature, i.e. a commentary. The second part presents a translation analysis based on the model of Christiane Nord from her book Textanalyse und Übersetzen. The next one focuses on a description of the used translation method and procedures. The fourth part deals with a typology of translation problems at different levels. The last part sums up translation shifts that occurred during the translation process

    L’attesa come condizione esistenziale: SAID Landschaften einer fernen Mutter, 2001 e Marjane Satrapi Persepolis, 2007

    No full text
    In this paper the author intends to analyze the concept of ‘waiting time’ that, in a different way, also seen the substantial artistic diversity, is present in the film Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, 2007, based on the namesake graphic novel written by the French-Iranian director in 2000, and in the novel Landschaften einer fernen Mutter written by the German-Iranian author SAID, 2001. The analysis that is conducted here wants to investigate how both, in the film and in the literary work, the ‘waiting time’ for the exile takes on totally personal connotations, becoming also not only part of the life of Satrapi and SAID, but above all a state of mind

    Interaktionsmuster und -themen in Mutter-Kind-Interaktionen und Interaktionen des Kindes mit fremden Personen

    No full text
    Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit werden Interaktionen des Kindes mit seiner Umwelt auf vorherrschende Themen und Muster untersucht, welche sowohl in Mutter-Kind-Interaktionen, als auch in den Interaktionen des Kindes mit einer fremden Person auffällig sind. Hierfür werden Videoaufnahmen analysiert, wobei diese drei Wickelszenen (Mutter-Kind-Interaktion) und eine Entwicklungsdiagnostik (Kind interagiert mit fremder Person) zeigen. Die unterschiedlichen Interaktionsmuster und –themen der jeweiligen Szenen werden mit Hilfe der Gegenübertragungsgefühle der Autorin, unter Berücksichtigung von Abwehrprozessen, analysiert. Nachdem vorerst auf die Interaktionsmuster, Gegenübertragungsgefühle und Abwehrprozesse der Mutter-Kind-Interaktion näher eingegangen wird, findet daran anschließend die Analyse jener Interaktionsmuster, Gegenübertragungsgefühle und Abwehrpro-zesse statt, die in den Interaktionen des Kindes mit einer fremden Person vorherrschend sind. Schließlich wird untersucht, welche Implikationen der jeweiligen Interaktionsmuster sowohl in den Interaktionen des Kindes mit seiner Mutter, als auch in Interaktionen des Kindes mit einer fremden Person dominieren, und wie dies unter Bezugnahme auf die Gegenübertragungsgefühle der Autorin und vorherrschende Abwehrprozesse begründet werden kann.Within the framework of this diploma thesis the interactions between the child and its environment are examined for dominant themes and patterns that are noticeable both in mother-child interactions and in the interactions between the child and a stranger. Therefore video recordings are analyzed. These recordings show three diaper scenes (mother-child interaction) and one child development diagnostic (child interacts with a stranger). The different interaction patterns and –themes of the individual scenes are analyzed by using the countertransference feelings of the author, in due consideration of defence processes. After dwelling on interaction patterns, countertransference feelings and defence processes of the mother-child interaction, an analysis of those patterns of interaction, countertransference feelings and de-fence processes which are dominant in the interactions of the child with a stranger, is carried out. Finally, the thesis examines which implications of interaction patterns dominate the interactions between the child and its mother as well as the interactions between the child and a stranger and how it can be explained in reference to both the countertransference feeling of the author and the dominating defence processes
