The species is only known from a few localities in western Finland, where it occurs in warm sandy habitats, often close to the coast. It has been classified as vulnerable in Finland (Paukkunen 2010). Trautmann (1927, 1930) reported the species from southern Sweden, and later also Balthasar (1954), Noskiewicz & Pulawski (1958), Móczár (1967) and Banaszak (1980) mentioned the species from the country. We have considered these records as doubtful, as we have not seen any Swedish specimens in collections. The closest known records outside Finland are from Poland (Banaszak 1980), Belarus (Shljachtenok 2006) and northern Germany (Jakobs & Kornmilch 2007).Published as part of Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas & Ødegaard, Frode, 2014, Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae), pp. 1-67 in Zootaxa 3864 (1) on page 21, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3864.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/493043

No full text[[abstract]]Niklas Luhmann’s Theory of Social Systems and Its Implication to the Educational Analysis
Abstract
This thesis aims to study Niklas Luhmann’s theory of social systems and its educational implications. The first chapter explores major problems and predicament in the study of education. It also points out contributions of Luhmann to educational studies. The second chapter traces sources of Luhmann’s theory of intellectual traditions. The third chapter then explicates the structure of Luhmann’s theory with an analysis of important ideas and concepts implicated in his works.These ideas and concepts include , for example , system , complexity , meaning , function , communication , self-reference and others. The fourth chapter discusses how Luhmann has reflected on current educational systems on the basis of his own theory. In particular,Chapter Five takes up Luhmann’s discussion in Reflexionsprobleme im Erziehungssystem. The last chapter , in conclusion , reviews major themes of this research , identifies the difficulties thus encountered, and suggests possible directions for future studies.
Briefe aus der Verbannung / Tristia. Epistulae ex Ponto : Lateinisch - Deutsch /
No full textIm Jahre 8 n. Chr. wird Ovid aus nicht bekanntem Grund von Kaiser Augustus nach Tomis am Schwarzen Meer verbannt, an den Rand der zivilisierten Welt, in eine trostlose Gegend, in der niemand Latein spricht und die er bis zu seinem Tod 17 n. Chr. nicht mehr verlassen wird. Er beginnt, verzweifelte Briefe zu schreiben - man würde sie heute "Offene Briefe" nennen - und diese nach Rom zur Veröffentlichung zu schicken. Sie sind sorgsam dichterisch komponiert, der Stil ist geschliffen und sie haben nur ein Ziel: die öffentliche Meinung in Rom für ihn einzunehmen; erfolglos, wie wir wissen. Gleichwohl sind die Briefe bewegende Dokumente frühester Exil-Literatur. Sie wurden das ganze Mittelalter über gelesen und haben das moderne Bewusstsein Europas mitgeprägt. Die neue Einführung des Münchner Altphilologen Niklas Holzberg und die neuen besonders ausführlichen Anmerkungen zu den unzähligen versteckten Anspielungen in den Briefen untersuchen sorgfältig, was an Ovids Klagen echt und was "Literatur" ist, wo er unter der Unerträglichkeit des Exils tatsächlich leidet und wo er nur gängigen Vorstellungen über die Wildnis am Pontos Ausdruck verleiht.

Scandal on campus. Dietrich Schwanitz reads Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory
No full textNiklas Luhmann (1927–1998) is one of the most distinguished sociologists of the twentieth cen-tury and the author of systems theory, which to a great extent has been accommodated into lin-guistics. Dietrich Schwanitz (1940–2004), an anglicist, is one of the most interesting interpreters of Luhmann on the basis of literary studies. Schwanitz is also known as a writer and author of the novel Campus (Der Campus, 1995). The main character, a sociologist, Hanno Hackmann, is wrongly accused of the sexual harassment and rape of a student. His reckless romance is exploited by various people in the university milieu to achieve their own goals. In fact, these people are, however, only the representatives of various social systems, especially politics and the media. Striving for re-election, the university rector needs this matter for his campaign, and the media are only interested in a scandalous story to be exploited for some time. Social communication does not reflect reality, and, at the same time, can be described as based on the “reduction of complexi-ty” (“Komplexitätsreduktion”). This is one of the most important concepts in Niklas Luhmann’s work. It turns out that systems theory provides the specific key to interpret the novel

Cross-Topic Author Identification -- a Case Study on Swedish Literature
No full textUsing material from the Swedish Literature Bank, we investigate whether common methods of author identification using word frequencies and part of speech frequencies are sensitive to differences in topic. The results show that this is the case, thereby casting doubt on much previous work in author identification. This sets the stage for a broader future study, comparing other methods and generalising the results

Niklas Luhmann, Crisis y Renovación en la Teoría Social del Siglo XX
No full textThe purpose of this article is to give a brief introduction to Luhmann's thought, focusing on the changes of the 20th century positions and analyzing basic concepts of the author. Likewise, to review that Niklas Luhmann's social theory adopts a new way of understanding a society that has become more complex in the stage of modernity/postmodernity, in which for the author, the classical theory does not have the explanatory elements for such phenomena. Luhmann's theory is closely linked to the epistemological changes of the second half of the 20th century and the advances in science and technology.El presente artículo tiene como objetivo dar una breve introducción al pensamiento de Luhmann, enfocándose en los cambios de las posturas del siglo XX y analizando conceptos básicos del autor. Así misml, revisar que la teoría social de Niklas Luhmann adopta una nueva forma de comprender a una sociedad que se ha complejizado en la etapa de la modernidad/posmodernidad, en la cual para el autor, la teoría clásica no tiene los elementos explicativos para dichos fenómenos. La teoría de Luhmann está muy ligada a los cambios epistemológicos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y los avances en las ciencias, tecnología

The species has been recorded only from Finland and Lithuania. In Finland, the latest records are from 1960 and the species has been classified as regionally extinct (Paukkunen 2010). In Lithuania, it has been found from several localities, and the latest record is from 1970 (Orlovskytė et al. 2010). A recent revision of type material has shown that the name inflammata is not the correct name of this taxon (Rosa, in prep.).Published as part of Paukkunen, Juho, Rosa, Paolo, Soon, Villu, Johansson, Niklas & Ødegaard, Frode, 2014, Faunistic review of the cuckoo wasps of Fennoscandia, Denmark and the Baltic countries (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae), pp. 1-67 in Zootaxa 3864 (1) on page 18, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3864.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/493043
