Freethinker and atheist

Decision-making under Risk and Ambiguity in People With OCD: The Role of Intolerance of Uncertainty
No full textThis is an analysis of the Risk and Ambiguity Task (Levy et al., 2010) from a dataset originally published by senior author Dr. Ryan J. Jacoby in 2023 (see original pre-registration at https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03420495?cond=OCD&term=jacoby&rank=1). Here, we compare performance on the R & A task between people with OCD and non-psychiatric controls (NPCs) and examine the relationship between task performance and a number of self-report variables (e.g. intolerance of uncertainty, decision-making styles, OCD symptom severity)
Monitoring und Evaluation von Stadt- und Regionalentwicklung: Einführung in Begriffswelt, rechtliche Anforderungen, fachliche Herausforderungen und ausgewählte Ansätze
No full textIn dem einführenden Beitrag wird zunächst auf die Bedeutung und Aktualität der
Themen Monitoring und Evaluation für die Raumforschung und Raumplanung
eingegangen. Angesprochen werden dabei die Vorgaben des neueren Planungs- und
Umweltrechts, die von verschiedenen Seiten gestellten Anforderungen an eine
verbesserte Steuerungseffizienz der Raumplanung, die Herausforderungen im Hinblick
auf die Verwirklichung des Leitbildes einer nachhaltigen Raumentwicklung, die
Aktivitäten auf EU-Ebene im Bereich der Raumbeobachtung und räumlicher
Informationssysteme sowie die verbesserten technischen Möglichkeiten im Bereich der
Geodateninfrastruktur.
Aufbauend auf einigen notwendigen Begriffsklärungen zu den Themenbereichen
Raumbeobachtung, Monitoring, Erfolgskontrolle, Evaluation und Controlling werden
die rechtlichen Anforderungen an das Monitoring und die Evaluation in der
Raumplanung, die sich aus dem Ende 2008 novellierten Raumordnungsgesetz in
Verbindung mit den EU-Vorschriften zur Strategischen Umweltprüfung ergeben, etwas
näher betrachtet. Des Weiteren werden einführend wesentliche fachliche Anforderungen
und Problemstellungen umrissen, die bereits in der Vergangenheit bei den Ansätzen
eines Monitoring und einer Evaluation von Stadt- und Regionalentwicklung eine Rolle
spielten und auch bei den weiteren Bemühungen im Blick gehalten werden müssen.
Abschließend wird der Untersuchungsfokus der Arbeitsgruppe „Monitoring und
Evaluation von Stadt- und Regionalentwicklung“ beschrieben und die in diesem
Sammelband wiedergegebenen Beiträge eingeordnet.This introductory article begins with a discussion of the importance and current
relevance of monitoring and evaluation for spatial research and spatial planning. Here
the author addresses the requirements introduced in recent planning and environmental
law, the calls coming from various directions for efficiency improvements with regard
to the role of spatial planning in steering development, the challenges associated with
delivering the vision of sustainable spatial development, activities at the EU level in the
field of spatial observation and spatial-information systems, and improvements to the
technological possibilities in the field of geodata infrastructure. Following a necessary clarification of terminology surrounding the topics of spatial
observation, monitoring, performance review, evaluation and controlling, the author
focuses in more detail on the legal requirements affecting monitoring and evaluation in
spatial planning resulting from the amendments to the Federal Spatial Planning Act
introduced towards the end of 2008, in conjunction with EU regulations on Strategic
Environmental Assessment. The author goes on to provide an introductory outline of
key substantive requirements and problems which already in the past have had an
important role to play within various approaches towards the monitoring and
evaluation of urban and regional development, and which need to remain in focus going
forward.
The author closes with a description of the scope of research by the working group on
“The monitoring and evaluation of urban and regional development” providing the
context within which to place the other papers published in this collection

Siegfried Jacoby Family Collection 1880-1960
No full textThis collection contains the papers of members of the Siegfried Jacoby family, depicting the family's private lives as well as their literary work. Most prominent among the papers here are many unpublished manuscripts, family correspondence, and Siegfried Jacoby's herbarium. There is also personal correspondence with others, some professional correspondence, official and personal papers, newspaper clippings, and a few notebooks and family photographs.Siegfried Jacoby was born on February 2, 1877 in Marggrabowa, East Prussia (now Olecko, Poland). He lived in Berlin, where he worked as an advertiser and businessman under the nomme de travail "Fritz Blum." In addition, Siegfried was a prolific author, writing numerous plays, short stories, essays, and poems, as well as writing for several newspapers. Siegfried's chief hobby was botany, in the course of which he assembled many journals of plant pressings and descriptions. On April 10, 1906, Siegfried married Selma (spelled Sellma on the birth certificate) Cohn from Schwerin an der Warthe (now Skwierzyna, Poland). Siegfried and Selma had two children. Their son, Friedrich Walther (Fritz), was born on June 1, 1909. Fritz died in Wernigerode in 1929. The Jacobys' daughter, Ursula Ellen (usually known as Ursel, also called Ulle), was born on October 25, 1907. Ursel was quite well-educated, being fluent in English and French. She followed in her father's literary footsteps as an author and translator. As a child, Ursula won or placed in several youth writing contests. As a young women in the 1920s, she worked as a translator for several regional papers. Between March and May 1927, Ursel went to Paris.In October 1932, Ursel married Max Bunzl, son of the Viennese Kommerzialrat Martin and Margrete (Grete) Bunzl. Max worked for his father's company. Ursel and Max lived in Frankfurt am Main and thereafter in Vienna. In December 1934, Ursula and Max had a son, Tom (Tommy). On October 3, 1937, the Bunzls had another son, Claudi (also known as Clausi or Klausi). The next year, the family left Austria for England. From there, Max went to Palestine (where he had relatives) and Ursula and Claudi went to Argentina (where Claudi became Claudio).In 1939, Selma and Siegfried Jacoby left Germany, travelling like their daughter to London. Later that year, the Jacobys joined their daughter and grandson in Argentina. The Jacoby-Bunzls lived in Buenos Aires, Conesa, and Rio Caballos while in Argentina. Siegfried, or Sigfrido, continued to write in German and Spanish, sometimes using the nomme du plume "Siegfried Jacoby-Wilde" (Sigfried may have been fond of Oscar Wilde). Eventually, Max (or Maximo) joined his family in Argentina.Little information is available about the Jacobys or Bunzls after the war. In 1947, Ursula returned to Europe, although it is unclear where. By the 1960s she had moved to London. The fate of her parents, husband, and child is unclear.digitize
