Claus - Enabling last-mile delivery in urban environments with limited mobility access
No full textIn this report the development and design of Claus is presented. Claus is an auxiliary drive train module for last-mile delivery hand trucks. The objective of the concept is to enable delivery workers to deliver parcels to the growing amount of addresses in urban environments with limited mobility access.Due to the combination of urbanization, the rising popularity of e-commerce and rising congestion levels in cities, delivery companies are increasingly struggling to transport their goods to the customer. Conventional delivery fleets, consisting of big delivery vans to handle the rising delivery volumes, are not suited to the urban environment anymore as cities are undergoing rising congestion rates and as automobiles are becoming a less prioritized mode of transport. Consequently, delivery workers have to cover larger distances from the van to the front door of the customer by foot. Usually, delivery workers use hand trucks to cover these last meters, but as these distances increase, walking the hand truck becomes a time consuming job.Claus is proposed as a solution for this last leg of parcel delivery. Claus is an auxiliary module with a built in electric drive train that connects to any regular hand truck. By connecting Claus to a hand truck, a four-wheel vehicle is created that can transport a the delivery worker along with his or her cargo. The hand truck acts as both the cargo carrier as well as the steering device, while Claus acts as a standing deck and a drive train. Thanks to Claus’ geometry and volume, Claus can be transported in a conventional delivery van similarly to the hand truck. By bringing both a hand truck and Claus during delivery shifts, delivery workers are enabled to quickly and easily cover areas that are becoming less accessible to delivery vans.Two prototypes were created that were used to validate the concept. A technical prototype acted as a means to validate the driving characteristics and the ergonomics. Furthermore, it was used to validate technical aspects such as the battery capacity and the drive train system. An aesthetic prototype was used to communicate the design to the stakeholders.Integrated Product Desig
‘De Regenkoning’ van Hugo Claus
No full textThe investigation in this article comprises the analysis of a poem by the Flemish author Hugo Claus, namely "De regenkoning". It is one of the poems in a sequence entitled "De ingewijde" (The initiated) which forms part of his volume of poetry "De Oostakkerse Gedichten” (1955). These poems are extremely esoteric and an attempt is made here to “decode” the "hidden mysteries” in this particular poem. Claus’ method of using a kind of secret language corresponds to a basic feature of (universal) initiation ceremonies, namely that everything that takes place is shrouded in secrecy. It was found that the nucleus of traditional initiations, namely sexual and mental maturation, likewise form a fundamental characteristic in Claus’ poem. Yet his "neophyte” is not (re)born into a "new” (sacred) world, but initiated into the broken (profane) realities of modern society
Hugo Claus als meervoud: pleidooi voor een wetenschappelijke documentaire varianteneditie van Claus' verzamelde poëzie
No full textThe selection of a base text for textual edition is not only a matter of literary-historical data or a consideration based on the genetic process or the publishing history of a work of art. Also the poetics or aesthetics of the editor are in some cases decisive for that (final/fundamental) choice. Depending on the poetical ideas of an editor one or another authorized text is chosen for the final edition. In that way the editor's choice determines the image of a literary work for a cultural community and does so for several years, if not for ever. In some cases we deal with a variety of text versions in a literary archive. Each of these texts is written from an aesthetic point of view and represents a stage in the development of an author. From that perspective it is not only relevant but also necessary to present all full text versions and for instance not only the variants in a specific apparatus. For my article I want to consider the collected poems by Hugo Claus (1929-2008). Four years after his death it becomes necessary to discuss the way in which scientific editors will present the collected works of the Flemish author. I want to suggest an edition with all complete versions of the poems. Claus was a legendary re-writer of his own (and even other's) literary texts. For instance, when he presented a new collection of his poems in the sixties and the nineties, he worked on a different version. From this point of view, each version represents another or a slightly different poetical vision by the author. The digital medium can provide an environment to present all full text (versions). Also in a published edition I would like to consider a publication of all different versions. Perhaps we have to make a difference between a scholarly edition, intended for researchers who work on the complete works by Claus, and an edition for an interested public (of non-scholars). Although these readers also deserve a complete works by Claus, including all versions of texts Claus worked on during different periods in his writing career
Anton Claus: his life and works
No full text> schwäbische Jesuit Anton Claus (1691-1754) war im deutschsprachigen Raum einer der bedeutendsten Jesuitendramatiker des 18. Jahrhunderts. Seine Tragödien, Übungsstücke und Meditationsdramen, die in zwei Sammlungen erschienen (Tragoediae ludis autumnalibus datae 1741, Exercitationes theatrales 1750), wurden von den Zeitgenossen als vorbildlich gewertet und intensiv rezipiert.
Von Seiten der Literaturwissenschaft ist Claus bislang jedoch wenig Interesse zuteil geworden. Aus diesem Grund beginnt die Arbeit mit einer auf Archivrecherche beruhenden, ausführlichen biographischen Grundlegung. In der Folge werden, basierend auf den Paratexten der Dramensammlungen, poetologische Vorstellungen des Autors isoliert und ihr Bezug zu autoritativen Poetiken (Aristoteles̕ Poetik, Pierre Corneilles Discours) diskutiert. Kern der Arbeit ist die literaturwissenschaftliche Beschreibung der 29 Dramen, die unter Claus̕ Namen erhalten sind, sowie deren sozioliterarische und literarhistorische Einordnung. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass Claus maßgeblich an der Durchsetzung klassizistischer Formen und Stoffe auf der späten Jesuitenbühne beteiligt war. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden auch interessante Analogien zu Entwicklungen im zeitgenössischen deutschsprachigen Drama (Gottscheds Theaterreform) diskutiert. In einem letzten Kapitel wird die für ein jesuitisches Oeuvre vergleichsweise intensive Rezeption des Werks in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts besprochen.> Swabian playwright Anton Claus (1691-1754) was one of the most influential representatives of 18th century Jesuit drama in the German speaking area. His tragedies, exercise plays and meditational plays, published in two volumes in 1741 (Tragoediae ludis autumnalibus datae) and 1750 (Exercitationes theatrales), were regarded as exemplary school plays by his contemporaries.
In modern scholarship, however, hitherto little attention was paid to this author. For this reason the thesis begins with a comprehensive biographical portrayal. The next chapter, based primarily on the paratexts of Claus’ drama collections, presents the poetic ideas of the author in their historical context, discussing also the influence of authoritative poetics of the time (Aristotle’s poetics, Pierre Corneille’s discours). The nucleus of the work is the literary analysis of the 29 plays preserved under Claus' name, considering also their “setting” within everyday school life and their historical literary context. It could be shown that Claus played an important role in the implementation of classicist poetics on the late Jesuit stage. Against this background interesting analogies with contemporary tendencies in German drama are discussed. The last chapter deals with the intense reception of Claus̕ literary oeuvre in the second half of the 18th century.Simon WirthensohnAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der VerfassersDissertation Universität Innsbruck 201

The Perpetuation of Santa Claus: An Anthropological Analysis of a Cultural Ritual in North America
No full textSanta Claus is a remarkably flexible example of active syncretic mythology. He is a towering figure who, with key exceptions, has curiously escaped deep anthropological inquiry. This thesis is a snapshot of the myth-in-progress in the year 2024 in the United States of America, widely considered the birthplace of modern-day Santa Claus. It considers the historical roots of Santa Claus, the history of modern Santa mythology, and the evolving nature of the associated rituals over the course of two centuries. It then collects and analyzes first-hand qualitative data from a series of semi-structured interviews with the parents who are actively shaping the myth for the next generations. These interviews reveal the powerful homogeneity of the myth at the societal level and the dynamic flexibility of the myth at the local, individual, and family levels. The top-down and bottom-up interactions between these levels helps us build toward a comprehensive anthropological understanding of what, exactly, is going on here
