Max Brod as an intermdiary of the Czech drama to the German-speaking audience. A reception of the Czech theatre in the articles of Max Brod in journals Prager Abendblatt and Prager Tagblatt from 1921 to 1939
No full textThe bachelor thesis on the topic Max Brod as an intermediary of the Czech drama to the German-speaking audience. A reception of the Czech theatre in the articles of Max Brod in journals Prager Abendblatt and Prager Tagblatt from 1921 to 1939 focuses on the reviews of Max Brod through which he strived to present the Czech drama to the German audience. The thesis examines the motivation of Brod in this regard, the form and the content of his reviews and also aims to contribute to the discussion about the blending of language and national spheres in Prague during the era of the First Czechoslovak Republic. Brod's activities as an intermediary is first put into the context of the coexistence of Czechs and Germans from the historical perspective of the First Czechoslovak Republic and their cultural interaction. The thesis also gives an overview about the Prague German literature, the German-speaking press and about the Prague theatre. The second chapter presents the personality of Max Brod and his interest in the Czech culture. Next, based on the secondary literature, Brod's theatrical reviews are characterized. The thesis highlights their political dimension as well as their evolution in the 1930s after the onset of the Nazi party in Germany. In the last chapter, three specific articles of Brod about..

A Transfer Report on the Development of a Framework to Evaluate Search Interfaces for their Support of Different User Types and Search Tactics
No full textAs the understanding of search systems, user needs and seeking strategies is developing, the design of search user interfaces is evolving to support more complicated and exploratory forms of search. With the design of new search features that enable these richer modes of exploration, comes the need to better understand the support they provide. In this report a new evaluation framework is presented that analyses search features for how they a) contribute to an overall interface, b) allow users to carry out different search tactics, and c) support different types of users and their needs. The novel contributions of the framework improve on some of the limitations of typical user studies, and allow search systems to be systematically analysed in much more detail and in much less time. The presented evaluation framework is then validated in three ways. First the validity of the models used as the building blocks of the framework are investigated through related work. Second the method of integrating these building-block models is validated and strengthened by consensus of expert opinion. Third, the overall approach is validated by comparing its analyses to the results of previously carried out user studies. The validation process has shown both the value of the framework and identified areas of future work that should be addressed for the framework to be completed. This report concludes with the set of contributions that the framework makes, and why the remaining work will be challenging, but critical to the final design
Kritische Robert Walser-Ausgabe, Kritische Ausgabe sämtlicher Drucke und Manuskripte. Band III.5: Drucke im Prager Tagblatt
No full textDas Prager Tagblatt, eine bedeutende deutschsprachige Tageszeitung der österreichischen Monarchie und der tschechoslowakischen Republik, war für ihr exzellentes Feuilleton bekannt. Robert Walser war darin bereits ab 1907 gelegentlich mit Beiträgen vertreten. Nach dem Eintritt von Max Brod in die Redaktion im Frühjahr 1924 intensivierte sich die publizistische Beziehung, wobei von 1925 an ausschliesslich Gedichte zum Abdruck kamen, und zwar überwiegend in der Sonntagsbeilage der Zeitung. Die vorliegende Edition der Drucke im Prager Tagblatt eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf die späte Lyrik und macht, ergänzend zu den bereits erschienenen Bänden zur Prager Presse, Robert Walsers Präsenz in Prager Zeitungsfeuilletons auf Basis eines großen Textbestands und über einen langen Zeitraum erforschbar
Max Brod as a Music Critic
No full textThe article is devoted to the presentation and interpretation of critical-musical works of Max Brod, Czech-born German-Israeli writer, composer and librettist, best known as a monographer of Franz Kafka. On the basis of the press articles (published, inter alia, in German-speaking daily "Prager Tagblatt"), the author analyzes and systematizes Brod's views on musical art. Significantly, in the center of the critic's interest were found to be such composers as Leoš Janáček, Gustav Mahler and Arnold Schönberg. The press articles concerning Jewish music, more specifically - the "Jewish element" ("Jewishness") in music are discussed in detail. The author also attempts to answer whether the Zionist element of Max Brod's worldview could have affected his professional evaluation of musical pieces. At the end of the article critical-musical skills of Max Brod are subjected to the technical analysis, and his artistic views (particularly on Neue Musik) are placed in a wider context of the thought of the era.Studie představuje a interpretuje hudebně kritické texty Maxe Broda; spisovatele německo-židovského původu narozeného v Čechách, zároveň skladatele a libretisty, jenž proslul péčí o odkaz Franze Kafky. Na základě studia novinových článků (publikovaných mimo jiné v německojazyčném periodiku Prager Tagblatt) autor analyzuje a systematizuje Brodův náhled na hudební umění. V centru pozornosti Maxe Broda byli skladatelé jako Leoš Janáček, Gustav Mahler a Arnold Schönberg. Novinové články, jež se zabývají židovskou hudbou, respektive "židovskými elementy" v hudbě, jsou pojednány zvláště podrobně. Autor věnuje pozornost rovněž otázce, do jaké míry mohl Brodův sionistický světonázor ovlivnit jeho kritickou reflexi hudebních děl. Závěr studie je věnován technické analýze hudebně kritických schopností Maxe Broda. Jeho vnímání umění (zvláště tzv. Nové hudby) je probíráno v širším historickém kontextu
The subzero microbiome: Microbial activity in frozen and thawing soils
No full textMost of the Earth's biosphere is characterized by low temperatures (<5 °C) and cold-adapted microorganisms are widespread. These psychrophiles have evolved a complex range of adaptations of all cellular constituents to counteract the potentially deleterious effects of low kinetic energy environments and the freezing of water. Microbial life continues into the subzero temperature range, and this activity contributes to carbon and nitrogen flux in and out of ecosystems, ultimately affecting global processes. Microbial responses to climate warming and in particular, thawing of frozen soils are not yet well understood although the threat of microbial contribution to positive feedback of carbon flux is substantial. To date, several studies have examined microbial community dynamics in frozen soils and permafrost due to changing environmental conditions, and some have undertaken the complicated task of characterizing microbial functional groups and how their activity changes with changing conditions, either in situ or by isolating and characterizing macromolecules. With increasing temperature and wetter conditions microbial activity of key microbes and subsequent efflux of greenhouse gases also increase. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of microbial activity in seasonally frozen soils and permafrost. With a more detailed understanding of the microbiological activities in these vulnerable soil ecosystems, we can begin to predict and model future expectations for carbon release and climate change.Peer reviewe
