Mathis - Hindemith - Kepler
No full textWenn auch in den vergangenen Jahren Hindemiths Mathis der Maler an internationaler Bühnenpräsenz gewonnen hat, so kann nichts darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass dieser Oper und ihrem „Schwesterwerk“ der Kepler-Oper Die Harmonie der Welt nur wenig Aufmerksamkeit von Seiten musikwissenschaftlicher Forschung zu Teil geworden ist. Gründe sind derer mehrere und durchaus sogar solche die klar auszumachen sind: Es ist nicht nur so, dass die betreffenden Bände der Gesamtausgabe der Werke Hindemiths beide noch nicht erschienen sind (es sind ledliglich die beiden Opernsinfonien bisher editiert worden) und so kritische Edition und Material nur eingeschränkt zur Verfügung stehen, sondern über jedem Werk ein Diktum ähnlich eines Damokleschwertes hängt. Mathis der Maler ist und bleibt die Oper des Komponisten, die teilweise während der Zeit der NS-Herrschaft in Deutschland entstanden ist und deshalb sich gewissen Interpretationen nicht entziehen kann und für die Kepler-Oper gelten die Urteile Theodor W. Adornos und das diesem eigentlich entgegenstehende Ludwig Finschers als fast verbindlich. Zugegeben sind diese Meinungen nicht falsch, sie verlangen aber einer dringenden Differenzierung und Perspektivenerweiterung. Diese Arbeit stellt den Versuch einer Durchleuchtung dieser Opern von einer unkonventionellen Perspektive aus dar. Ausgangspunkt der Überlegungen ist die von mir als Phantasie bezeichnete Denkfigur, die sich um die „musica mundana“ als Phänomen musikalischer Poetik und Theorie wie ein roter Faden durch die Musikgeschichte zieht. Für Paul Hindemith, wie auch für Gustav Mahler, den ich hier dem ersteren annähern zu versuche, ist diese unentbehrlich und von größter Wichtigkeit. Ausgehend von dieser Idee, wie sie vor allem von Boethius und Kepler vertreten wird, wird die Umsetzung im Rahmen der genannten Opern und darüber hinaus vom Standpunkt der „Metaphoetik“-Theorie von Hermann Danuser zu befragen sein. Am Ende dieser Arbeit stehen dann gewissermaßen abschließende, wie zugleich auch weitere Diskurse eröffnende Überlegungen zu einer philosophischen Antrophologie der Musik in Anschluss an die Konzepte des Philosophen Hans Blumenberg

Data Champions Lunch Talks - AI and research data, a new synergy
No full textThe EPFL Data Champions community convened for its 12th general meeting during a special edition of the Lunch Talks series. The discussion centered around the emerging synergies between AI and research data, a topic of significant relevance in the contemporary research landscape. The event featured a series of short talks by experts who shared their insights and perspectives on the integration of AI technologies in research data management and analysis. The speakers and their respective topics are: * “Open-source, models and data in neuroscience”, by Alexander Mathis, Assistant Professor, Head of the Mathis Group, Computational Neuroscience & AI of EPFL; * "FAIR deployment of AI models", by Simon Dürr, PhD Student EPFL Chemistry, HuggingFace Fellow and EPFL Data Champion; * "An ordinary day at the SDSC, aka how we accelerate the adoption of AI to boost your data", by Roberto Castello, Data Scientist at SDSC, and EPFL Data Champion; * "AI and research data: ethics compliance issues", by Gaia Barazzetti, Research Ethics Compliance Officer at EPFL Research Office. Following the presentations, attendees had the opportunity to engage with the panel in a lively Q&A session, fostering thoughtful conversations on the pivotal role of AI in shaping the present and future of research data. The event was held on September 7th, 2023, thanks to the organization of the RDM Library Team and OS Unit of EPFL. You can find here the files of the presentations.

Global and local estimates of environmental flow requirements to sustain river ecosystems are poorly correlated
No full textData repository for ‘Global and local estimates of environmental flow requirements to sustain river ecosystems are poorly correlated ‘
prepared by Mathis L. Messager ([email protected])
1. Overview and background ----------------------------------------------------------
This documentation describes the input and output data associated with the analysis presented in: Messager, M. L., Dickens, W. S. C., Eriyagama, N., Tharme, R. E., Stassen, R. (2024). Limited comparability of global and local estimates of
environmental flow requirements to sustain river ecosystems. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ad1cb5.
Environmental flows (e-flows) are a central element of sustainable water resource management to mitigate the detrimental impacts of hydrological alteration on freshwater ecosystems and their benefits to people. Many nations strive to protect e-flows through policy, and thousands of local-scale e-flows assessments have been conducted globally, leveraging data and knowledge to quantify how much water must be provided to river ecosystems, and when, to keep them healthy. However, e-flows assessments and implementation are geographically uneven and cover a small fraction of rivers worldwide. This hinders globally consistent target-setting, monitoring and evaluation for international agreements to curb water scarcity and biodiversity loss. Therefore, dozens of models have been developed over the past two decades to estimate the e-flows requirements of rivers seamlessly across basins and administrative boundaries at a global scale.There has been little effort, however, to benchmark these models against locally derived e-flows estimates, which may limit confidence in the relevance of global estimates. The aim of this study was to assess whether current global methods reflect e-flows estimates used on the ground, by comparing global and local estimates for 1194 sites across 25 countries. We found that while global approaches broadly approximate the bulk volume of water that should be precautionarily provided to sustain aquatic ecosystems at the scale of large basins or countries, they explain a remarkably negligible 0%–1% of the global variability in locally derived estimates of the percentage of river flow that must be protected at a given site. Even when comparing assessments for individual countries, thus controlling for differences in local assessment methods among jurisdictions, global e-flows estimates only marginally compared (R2 ⩽ 0.31) to local estimates. Such a disconnect between global and local assessments of e-flows requirements limits the credibility of global estimates and associated targets for water use. To accelerate the global implementation of e-flows requires further concerted effort to compile and draw from the thousands of existing local e-flows assessments worldwide for developing a new generation of global models and bridging the gap from local to global scales..

Efficiency Instead of Justice? ::Searching for the Philosophical Foundations of the Economic Analysis of Law /
No full textEconomic analysis of law is an interesting and challenging attempt to employ the concepts and reasoning methods of modern economic theory so as to gain a deeper understanding of legal problems. According to Richard A. Posner it is the role of the law to encourage market competition and, where the market fails because transaction costs are too high, to simulate the result of competitive markets. This would maximize economic efficiency and social wealth. In this work, the lawyer and economist Klaus Mathis critically appraises Posner's normative justification of the efficiency paradigm from the perspective of the philosophy of law. Posner acknowledges the influences of Adam Smith and Jeremy Bentham, whom he views as the founders of normative economics. He subscribes to Smith's faith in the market as an ideal allocation model, and to Bentham's ethical consequentialism. Finally, aligning himself with John Rawls's contract theory, he seeks to legitimize his concept of wealth maximization with a consensus theory approach. In his interdisciplinary study, the author points out the possibilities as well as the limits of economic analysis of law. It provides a method of analysing the law which, while very helpful, is also rather specific. The efficiency arguments therefore need to be incorporated into a process for resolving value conflicts. In a democracy this must take place within the political decision-making process. In this clearly written work, Klaus Mathis succeeds in making even non-economists more aware of the economic aspects of the law. "Mathis gives a succinct and lucid presentation of the economic theory of law, and of the problems associated with its application as a normative theory in law. At the same time, he rightly draws attention to the advantages associated with this approach, and provides a helpful and thoroughly ambitious introduction to its fundamental principles." Prof. Dr. Jan-R. Sieckmann, Archives for Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy (ARSP), Vol. 91/2 (2006)
