Madonna: eine Mutter, eine Metamorphose
Full text linkHölderlinsche Texte erschließen sich ihren heutigen Leser*innen kaum im ersten Anlauf. Wer etwas verstehen möchte, findet sich rasch in einem vielgestaltigen Corpus breiter kultureller Bestände einer vergangenen Zeit wieder. Doch solange „Deutungen weithin innerhalb des Hölderlinschen Weltentwurfs verbleiben, [...] als seien diese dem heutigen
Leser selbstverständlich nachvollziehbar“, können Leser*innen nur als Fremde gefangen bleiben in der Gedankenwelt des Dichters. Und abgesehen von der theoretischen Fragwürdigkeit eines solchen Vorgehens, war Hölderlin selbst insbesondere in seinen späten Phasen bestrebt, nicht als „esoterischer“ Rufer verstanden zu werden. Aber wie lässt sich in einer heute vertretbaren Weise zu einem Verständnis seiner Texte ansetzen im Kontext einer gemischten Götterwelt, in welcher sich der Dichter Hölderlin aufgehalten hat in Phasen seines Lebens, in denen er zunehmend psychisch wie existentiell in Bedrängnis geraten ist? Im Folgenden werden am Beispiel von Hölderlins Hymnenfragment „An die Madonna“ zwei von Renate Böschenstein und Fredric Jameson vorgezeichnete Linien für einen zeitgemäßen Zugang nachgezeichnet und weitergezogen: allegorische Aspekte in Hölderlins Formulierungen werden zum Ausgangspunkt einer in Stufen erfolgenden allegorischen Lesart des Texts, die unter anderen eine psychoanalytische Perspektive eröffnet
Influences on risk taking behaviour of property developers in Perth, Western Australia
Full text linkRisk is inherently part of the process of property development so property developers are driven to engage in risk taking behaviour. This paper investigates project developers' perception of influences on their risk taking behaviour of small-scale residential developments in Perth (Western Australia) based on structured interviews with twenty property developers. It was found that property developers perceive risk-taking behaviour is influenced by the risk level in projects in terms of the degree of variability of outcomes and/or magnitude of potential losses. Property developers expressed a strong risk averse attitude, which means risk-taking behaviour is influenced by the desire to not engage in projects where risks greatly exceed to rewards; in fact, many seek out developments where the rewards disproportionately exceed the risks because risk and reward are seem as not necessarily being related. 11iese potential rewards and risks tend to be framed opportunistically, which suggest that rewards are likely to be more emphasised than risks. Property developers seem to be particularly prone to availability bias, which means their risk-taking behaviour may result in irrational decisions based on irrelevant information. All these influences on risk-taking behaviour - level of risk, risk averse attitude and opportunistic framing - are tempered by a personality trait that promotes proper planning and problem-solving when involved in risk-taking behaviour. Finally, it must be emphasised that this research is based on project developers' perceptions of their own behaviour and provides a foundation for further observational or experimental research to compare these perceptions with actual risk taking behaviour
Non-contact gas turbine blade vibration measurment from casing pressure and vibration signals - A review
No full textThis paper presents a summary of a recent research program, focusing on a new method of non contact gas turbine blade vibration measurement using casing pressure and vibration signals. Currently the dominant method of non contact measurement of turbine blade vibrations employs the use of a number of proximity probes located around the engine periphery measuring the blade tip (arrival) time (BTT). Despite the increasing ability of this method there still exist some limitations, viz: the requirement of a large number of sensors for each engine stage, difficulties in dealing with multiple excitation frequencies, sensors being located in the gas path, and the inability to directly measure the natural frequency of a given blade. Simulations established with a physics based model along with experimental measurements are presented in this paper, using internal pressure and casing vibration measurements, which have the potential to rectify some of these problems
