Forest Talks
No full textWas sagt der Wald? Diese Frage versuchen der Philosoph Emanuele Coccia und der Naturwissenschaftler Andreas Rigling im Gespräch mit Yvonne Volkart (Moderation) anlässlich der Ausstellung Eco-Visionaries zu beantworten.
Pflanzen sind die geheimen Macher der Erde: Wo sie nicht wachsen, da ist kein organisches Leben möglich. Trotzdem wurden viele Erkenntnisse über Pflanzen und ihr Austausch mit weiteren Mikroorganismen erst in den letzten Jahren mittels technisch gestützter Experimente und Beobachtungen erschlossen. Was kann nun aus diesen Daten herausgelesen werden? Was erzählt ein Baum – oder ein ganzer Wald – wenn wir denn zuhören?
Emanuele Coccia und Andreas Rigling stellen in zwei Kurzvorträgen ihre Ansätze zu diesen Frage vor und geben dabei Einblick in ihr aussergewöhnliches Wissen über Bäume und Pflanzen. Anschliessend diskutieren sie mit Ko-Kuratorin Yvonne Volkart und dem Publikum darüber, worin sich ihre Ansätze treffen und unterscheiden.https://www.hek.ch/programm/veranstaltungen/forest-talk

We must combine conservation of nature with benefits to society. Interview by Gaby Allheilig with Andreas Heinimann on IPBES' Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
No full textOn 6 May 2019, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) presented its report on the state of biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide. The first such assessment since 2005, it concludes that biodiversity and ecosystem loss has reached the point where it threatens human well-being. The researchers involved recommend several urgent measures to political decision-makers. Andreas Heinimann of CDE was the one Swiss scientist who worked as a lead author on a chapter of the report
How to close the science-practice gap in nature conservation? Information sources used by practitioners
No full textProfessionals working in practical conservation management and scientists often complain about an information gap between science and practice. Which kinds of information sources are important to professionals and which do they use in their every-day work? Answering these questions and knowing more about the information sources used by conservation professionals would promote effective knowledge transfer from science to practice. We conducted a survey to identify the information sources used by Swiss professionals in nature conservation, including the forest sector. Experience-based information sources (e.g. personal experience, direct exchange with colleagues and experts) are more important for professionals in nature conservation than evidence-based sources (e.g. various print products such as guidelines, specialized journals in national languages, text books targeted to professionals). They were also more often used. Articles from international scientific journals are hardly ever consulted by conservation professionals. It is thus important that scientists engage as experts and take time for direct personal contact and exchange with conservation professionals (e.g. by offering field trips). Given that professionals have little time in their daily business for searching and implementing new scientific knowledge and results, short, audience-targeted and synthetizing publications in national languages as well as specialized websites should be provided by researchers. These measures are key to reduce the gap between science and practice in nature conservation

Family Virtues and Social Critique: Andreas Latzko’s Anti-War Prose (1917-1918)
No full textBetween 1917 and 1918, the Austro-Hungarian author Andreas Latzko (1876-1943) wrote three separate publications against the Great War: Menschen im Krieg (1917), Friedensgericht (1918), and Der letzte Mann (published 1919). Literary historians tend to bypass these works, and the few who note them chiefly focus on the best-selling novella cycle Menschen im Krieg (1917). It is usually presented as an example of expressionist political prose, or as a mixture of social satire and aesthetic shock-tactics that chiefly remains indebted to realist traditions, albeit with occasional incursions into expressionistic styles..

Short laws for finite groups and residual finiteness growth
Full text link We prove that for every n ∈ N n \in \mathbb {N} and δ > 0 \delta >0 there exists a word w n ∈ F 2 w_n \in F_2 of length O ( n 2 / 3 log ( n ) 3 + δ ) O(n^{2/3} \log (n)^{3+\delta }) which is a law for every finite group of order at most n n . This improves upon the main result of Andreas Thom [Israel J. Math. 219 (2017), pp. 469–478] by the second named author. As an application we prove a new lower bound on the residual finiteness growth of non-abelian free groups. </p
