Hans and Gerda Lindner family collection 1921-1990, 2000-2006 1921-1988
No full textThe Hans and Gerda Lindner family collection contains photographs, correspondence, finance and legal documents, a large stamp collection, plus a small amount of family papers. Prominent topics include daily activities, family vacations, and the Lindner family’s as well as business’s finances.Hans Heinrich Lindner, born in 1904, was a sports enthusiast who grew up in Breslau, Germany (today Wrocław, Poland), and immigrated to the United States following internment in Buchenwald. Hans’ father, Alfred Lindner, owned two shoe stores, one in Breslau and another one in Bytom. Hans participated in track, fox-hunting, and motorsport racing.Hans went to England between 1945 and 1946 where he worked at Dagmar Candy Company and then was the owner of "day-of-the-week" undergarments. Hans married Gerda Kronkheim and they had two sons, Steven and Peter. Gerda was a schoolmate of reporter Robert Lochner with whom she corresponded throughout the 1950s. Gerda's sister Ilse got married to Rudi Lichtenstein. There was a legal dispute between Hans and his brother Berthold Lindner regarding the distribution of their father's assets.Finding aid available onlineProcesse

On quasi-infinitely divisible distributions
No full textIn this thesis, we investigate the class of quasi-infinitely divisible distributions.
By definition, a distribution is quasi-infinitely divisible if its characteristic function can be written as the quotient of the characteristic functions of two infinitely divisible distributions.
Hence, quasi-infinitely divisible distributions generalize the class of infinitely divisible distributions, which corresponds to the class of L\'evy processes in a natural way.
Several distributional properties of infinitely divisible distributions can be characterized in terms of their characteristic triplet.
In case of quasi-infinitely divisible distributions, this is more difficult, as was observed by Lindner, Pan and Sato (2018).
There, Lindner et al. studied quasi-infinitely divisible distributions on the real line \bR systematically.
In Chapter 2 we focus on multivariate quasi-infinitely divisible distributions and collect various results on those.
We derive some examples and study distributional properties of quasi-infinitely divisible distributions on \bR^d for d \in \bN.
In particular, we study their absolute continuity, weak convergence, support properties and the existence of certain moments for those distributions.
Moreover, we study some topological properties of the class of quasi-infinitely divisible distributions on \bR^d.
The class of quasi-infinitely divisible distributions on \bR is dense in the class of all distributions on \bR with respect to weak convergence.
That this is no longer true in higher dimensions is shown in Chapter 3, where for we give an example of a probability distribution on \bR^d, which cannot be approximated arbitrarily well by quasi-infinitely divisible distributions.
In particular, it is shown that its characteristic function cannot be approximated arbitrarily well by a zero-free continuous function with respect to compact uniform convergence, and hence especially not by the characteristic function of a quasi-infinitely divisible distribution, since those are zero-free.
In Chapter 4 we consider distributions on \bR of the form with , a discrete distribution and an absolutely continuous distribution .
We show that such a distribution is quasi-infinitely divisible if and only if its characteristic function is bounded away from zero.
Moreover, we characterise the existence of certain moments for such a distribution.
In 1983, Marcus gave for arbitrary an example of a distribution with all of its one-dimensional projections being -stable, but such that the distribution itself is not infinitely divisible, thus, in particular not stable.
In Chapter 5 we show that this distribution is quasi-infinitely divisible.
Furthermore, we show that a quasi-infinitely divisible distribution with finite drift, and with all of its one-dimensional projections being stable, is necessarily stable itself.In dieser Arbeit untersuchen wir die Klasse der quasi-unendlich teilbaren Verteilungen.
Per Definition ist eine Verteilung quasi-unendlich teilbar, falls ihre charakteristische Funktion als Quotient der charakteristischen Funktionen zweier unendlich teilbarer Verteilungen geschrieben werden kann.
Quasi-unendlich teilbare Verteilungen verallgemeinern also die Klasse der unendlich teilbaren Verteilungen, welche auf natürliche Weise der Klasse der L\'evy-Prozesse entspricht.
Einige Verteilungseigenschaften unendlich teilbarer Verteilungen können anhand ihres charakteristischen Triplets charakterisiert werden.
Bei quasi-unendlich teilbaren Verteilungen ist dies schwieriger, wie von Lindner, Pan und Sato (2018) gezeigt wurde.
Dort haben Lindner et al. quasi-unendlich teilbare Verteilungen auf der reellen Geraden \bR systematisch untersucht.
In Kapitel 2 konzentrieren wir uns auf multivariate quasi-unendlich teilbare Verteilungen und sammeln verschiedene Aussagen über diese.
Wir leiten Beispiele her und untersuchen Verteilungseigenschaften quasi-unendlich teilbarer Verteilungen auf \bR^d für d \in \bN.
Im Speziellen untersuchen wir ihre Absolutstetigkeit, schwache Konvergenz, Trägereigenschaften und die Existenz bestimmter Momente für diese Verteilungen.
Außerdem untersuchen wir einige topologische Eigenschaften der Klasse der quasi-unendlich teilbaren Verteilungen auf \bR^d.
Die Klasse der quasi-unendlich teilbaren Verteilungen auf \bR liegt dicht in der Klasse aller Verteilungen auf \bR bezüglich schwacher Konvergenz.
Dass dies in höheren Dimensionen nicht mehr gilt, zeigen wir in Kapitel 3, wo wir für ein Beispiel für eine Verteilung auf \bR^d angeben, die sich nicht beliebig gut durch quasi-unendlich teilbare Verteilungen approximieren lässt.
Im Speziellen wird gezeigt, dass ihre charakteristische Funktion nicht beliebig gut durch eine nullstellenfreie, stetige Funktion bezüglich kompakt gleichmäßiger Konvergenz approximiert werden kann, und damit insbesondere nicht durch die charakteristische Funktion einer quasi-unendlich teilbaren Verteilung, da diese nullstellenfrei sind.
In Kapitel 4 betrachten wir Verteilungen auf \bR von der Form mit , einer diskreten Verteilung und einer absolut stetigen Verteilung .
Wir zeigen, dass eine solche Verteilung genau dann quasi unendlich teilbar ist, wenn ihre charakteristische Funktion von Null weg beschränkt ist.
Außerdem charakterisieren wir die Existenz bestimmter Momente für eine solche Verteilung.
1983 gab Marcus für beliebiges ein Beispiel einer Verteilung, deren eindimensionalen Projektionen alle -stabil sind, aber so, dass die Verteilung selbst nicht unendlich teilbar ist, also insbesondere nicht stabil.
In Kapitel 5 zeigen wir, dass diese Verteilung quasi unendlich teilbar ist.
Darüber hinaus zeigen wir, dass eine quasi-unendlich teilbare Verteilung mit endlichem Drift, dessen eindimensionale Projektionen alle stabil sind, notwendigerweise selbst stabil ist

Researching the characteristics of stalkers
No full textDiplomska naloga Raziskovanje značilnosti zalezovalcev se osredotoča na pregled metodologije nekaterih obstoječih raziskav, ki se navezujejo na zalezovalce. Zalezovanje predstavlja kompleksen problem sodobnega časa, ki se dotika tako pravnih in psiholoških vidikov kot tudi družbe same. Velja za zapleteno obliko človeškega vedenja, ki ga je zaradi velikega obsega dejavnikov in zavedanja žrtve težko predvideti ter preprečevati. Raziskovalci se pri raziskovanju pogosto srečujejo s težavami, povezanimi z merjenjem občutljivih vedenj in motivacij zalezovalcev, zato je ustreznost merskih instrumentov in njihova izbira ključna za učinkovitejše razvijanje preventivnih in intervencijskih ukrepov. V diplomskem delu smo preverili, kako so značilnosti zalezovalcev raziskovali v obstoječi znanstveni literaturi s poudarkom na uporabljenih raziskovalnih pristopih, metodologiji in kakovosti zbranih podatkov. Glavni cilj je bil ugotoviti prednosti in pomanjkljivosti uporabljenih vprašalnikov. Analizirali smo vsebine 36 člankov, ki smo jih pridobili v podatkovni bazi Web Of Science in Cobiss. Ugotovili smo, da so metodološke značilnosti raziskav pogosto pomanjkljivo napisane. Raziskovalci so uporabili predvsem kombinacije prilagojenih avtorskih vprašalnikov, narejenih po literaturi drugih avtorjev in ocenjevalne lestvice. Vprašalniki so bili pogosteje navedeni kot veljavni, vendar delno kakovostni. Najpogosteje so raziskovalci uporabili neverjetnostno priložnostno in namensko vzorčenje. Majhni vzorci, možnost subjektivnosti, uporaba hipotetičnih scenarijev, napake samoporočanja in neodzivnost udeležencev so predstavljali najpogostejše omejitve raziskav.The thesis, Researching the characteristics of stalkers, focuses on reviewing the methodologies of existing studies on stalking. Stalking represents a multifaceted issue in modern society, involving legal, psychological and social dimensions. It is considered a complex form of human behaviour, which, due to the multitude of influencing factors and the victim\u27s awareness, is difficult to predict and prevent. Researchers often face challenges when studying sensitive behaviours and the motivation of stalkers, which is why appropriate measurement instruments are crucial for the effective development of preventive and intervention strategies. This thesis examines how the characteristics of stalkers have been studied in the existing scientific literature, with a focus on research approaches, methodologies and quality of collected data. The main goal was to determine the advantages and limitations of the questionnaires used. We have done a content analysis of 36 research articles retrieved from Web of Science and Cobiss. We found that the reporting of the methodologies was often insufficiently described. Most researchers relied on adapted, author-designed questionnaires and rating scales. The questionnaires were more frequently cited as valid but partly of limited quality. The most commonly used sampling methods were non-probability sampling, such as convenience and purposive sampling. Small samples, the possibility of bias, the use of hypothetical scenarios, self-reporting errors and non-responsiveness of participants represented the most common limitations of the studies

Forming ideal types by understanding. Application to the psychoanalytic treatment of suicidal men
No full textThis paper discusses the application of a qualitative methodology—forming ideal types by understanding—to the psychoanalytic psychotherapy of suicidal men. The paper focuses on a particular phase of the methodology: the validation through external expert replication. Data of cases from psychoanalytic treatment, analysed by the originating group in Germany, is analysed by a group in London, UK, which formed to undertake the task of blind comparison. We describe the contribution of this method in the field of psychoanalytic research, the method developed for generating data and the processes through which data are analysed. We demonstrate the comparative findings from the first (German) and second (UK) analyses and explore the meanings of the similarities and differences. The paper concludes with an appraisal of the strengths and limitations (in terms) of moderate levels of generalisation of results from this method for research in the field of qualitative psychotherapy researc
