    Travels Through Bohemia, 1919

    13 pagesThis excerpt comes from a book-length study published in 1919, by an Austrian journalist who was the son of a famous Austrian Social Democrat. Scheu traveled around the language border in Bohemia during the summer of 1918, just before the Great War ended and much changed. Terms that might be unfamiliar to the American reader are explained within brackets. Other editorial notes consist mostly of factual corrections to Scheu?s account.

    Decomposers and root feeders interactively affect plant defence in *Sinapis alba*

    Lohmann M, Scheu S, Müller C. Decomposers and root feeders interactively affect plant defence in *Sinapis alba*. OECOLOGIA. 2009;160(2):289-298.Aboveground herbivory is well known to change plant growth and defence. In contrast, effects of soil organisms, acting alone or in concert, on allocation patterns are less well understood. We investigated separate and combined effects of the endogeic earthworm species Aporrectodea caliginosa and the root feeding nematode species Pratylenchus penetrans and Meloidogyne incognita on plant responses including growth and defence metabolite concentrations in leaves of white mustard, Sinapis alba. Soil biota had a strong impact on plant traits, with the intensity varying due to species combinations. Nematode infestation reduced shoot biomass and nitrogen concentration but only in the absence of earthworms. Earthworms likely counteracted the negative effects of nematodes. Infestation with the migratory lesion-nematode P. penetrans combined with earthworms led to increased root length. Earthworm biomass increased in the presence of this species, indicating that these nematodes increased the food resources of earthworms-presumably dead and decaying roots. Nitrogen-based defence compounds, i.e. glucosinolates, did not correlate with nitrogen levels. In the presence of earthworms, concentrations of aromatic glucosinolates in leaves were significantly increased. In contrast, infection with P. penetrans strongly decreased concentrations of glucosinolates (up to 81%). Infestation with the sedentary nematode M. incognita induced aromatic glucosinolates by more than 50% but only when earthworms were also present. Myrosinase activities, glucosinolate-hydrolysing enzymes, were unaffected by nematodes but reduced in the presence of earthworms. Our results document that root-feeding nematodes elicit systemic plant responses in defence metabolites, with the responses varying drastically with nematode species of different functional groups. Furthermore, systemic plant responses are also altered by decomposer animals, such as earthworms, challenging the assumption that induction of plant responses including defence traits is restricted to herbivores. Soil animals even interact and modulate the individual effects on plant growth and plant defence, thereby likely also influencing shoot herbivore attack

    2010 m. pirmą kartą dailės kūriniai iš Hugo Šojaus (Hugo Scheu) rinkinio, sukaupto Šilokarčemos (dabar – Šilutė) dvare ir šiandien saugomo Šilutės muziejuje, buvo eksponuojami už šio muziejaus ribų – LDM Prano Domšaičio galerijoje surengtoje parodoje „Paveikslai iš senojo dvaro“. Savo unikalumu ir istorija jie iš karto patraukė uostamiesčio meno tyrinėtojų ir mėgėjų dėmesį. Išsamiau apie šią parodą, Hugo Šojaus (Hugo Scheu) sukauptą dailės rinkinį ir šią iškilią asmenybę – publikacijoje Reikšminiai žodžiai: Dailė; Dvaras; Hugo Šojus; Istorija; Karaliaučius; Klaipėda; Kolekcija; Kolekcija, išsaugojimas; Mere Džein; Merė Džeinė; Muziejus; Paroda; Prano Domšaičio galerija; Rinkinys; Šilokarčema; Šilokarčemos dvaras; Šilutė; Šilutės muziejus; Colection; Collection; Estate; Exhibition; Fine art; Heidekrug; History; Hugo Scheu; Hugo Sheu; Klaipėda; Konigsberg; Manor; Mary Jane; Museum; Pranas Domšaitis gallery; Preservation; Šilokarčema; Šilokarčema manor; Šilutė; Šilutė museumIn 2010, works of art from Hugo Scheu's collection accumulated at the Šilokarčema (currently Šilutė) manor and today stored at the Šilutė museum were exhibited outside this museum for the first time. They were demonstrated at an exhibition "Paintings from the Old Manor" held at LAM Pranas Domšaitis' Gallery. Their uniqueness and history immediately drew the attention of art researchers and lovers of the port city. The author of the publication provides an overview of the uniqueness, value and history of this collection, describes the merits of H. Scheu, a former Šilokarčema landowner, in forming this collection and the merits of other cultural figures in preserving it. After Lithuania regained independence, restoration of the collection of artworks that belonged to H. Scheu was started at LAM Pranas Gudynas' Restoration Centre. H. Scheu's manor has been restored in recent years. After the restoration is completed, all works of art stored there that have been preserved to date will be returned to their previous place where they decorated the interior of the manor during its heyday. Together with other unique exhibits they will represent the environment of the manor, which was home to H. Scheu, a prominent Šilutė city patron, a person well aware of the importance of Lithuanian culture and traditions, who dedicated a large part of his life to their preservatio

    Eighty-one fables, listed in the T of C on 87-88. About thirty-three of them are acknowledged to be Aesopic. That T of C stands between the original texts and the vocabulary, which is followed by the German translations. Nice careful work.Language note: Biliingual: German/Lithuanian?Hugo Scheu und Alexander Kurscha
