No full textThis collection contains personal documents, manuscripts, published articles, reviews of Eva Reichmann's book "Hostages of Civilizations," and books and periodicals from her library.See inventory listEva Reichmann, sociologist and historian, was born Eva Jungmann in Lublinitz, Silesia, on January 16, 1897, and died at age 101, on September 16, 1998 in London. She studied in Breslau, Munich, Berlin, and Heidelberg and received a social sciences doctorate at Heidelberg before joining the Berlin head office of the "Centralverein Deutscher Staatsbuerger Juedischen Glaubens" in 1924. She also worked as an editor for the influential Jewish journal "Der Morgen, Monatszeitschrift der deutschen Juden". She married the lawyer Hans Reichmann, also a Centralverein functionary, who was one of the initiators of an anti-Nazi propaganda campaign during the last phase of the Weimar Republic. He was arrested after the November Pogrom and sent to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. When he was released the couple fled to Britain. Hans was interned during the war.Eva Reichmann worked for the BBC. After the war she became director of research at the Wiener Library in London, alerting the British public to the continuing threat of fascism and racism. She worked as author and lecturer for German-Jewish reconciliation, and published many articles. She was one of the founders of the Leo Baeck Institute, set up in London for the study of the history of German Jewry. The book "Hostages of Civilization" (London, 1950; Boston 1951; German title: 'Flucht in den Hass" (1956)) for which she gained a second doctorate from the London School of Economics, is a profound analysis of the Jewish catastrophe in Germany. Hans Reichmann died in 1964. Eva Reichmann was awarded several decorations: the Rosenzweig-Buber medal, the "Moses-Mendelssohn-Preiss" in 1982, and the "Bundesverdienstkreuz' in 1983. Eva's sister Elizabeth Jungmann married Max Beerbohm shortly before he died; she was also secretary to the playwright Gerhard Hauptmann, and a close friend of the poet Rudolf Binding. After the death of Elizabeth, Eva Reichmann became executor of Max Beerbohm's literary estate.see also "Hans Reichmann Collection" AR 2236Photographs removed to Photograph Collectiondigitize

Surfeit. Philosophies of Jürgen Habermas and Jean Baudrillard against the background of St. I. Witkiewicz’s neohumanistic catastrophism
No full textThe paper analyses the category of neo-catastrophism. Postmodern society has launched the mechanisms of self-destruction which are now working not only in interpersonal and communicative relationships, but also in the realms of axiology, ethics and even ontology. According to the author, the main aspects of Jean Baudrillard’s and Jürgen Habermas’ philosophy can be interpreted as containing such neo-catastrophic message. However, as the forerunner of neo-catastrophism in philosophy the author points out Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkacy), especially his theory of metaphysical feelings and their disappearance in mass society. Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, known among the philosophy critics as neohumanistic catastrophist, has foreseen many categories which are typical for Habermas’ and Baudrillard’s writings. The neo-catastrophic mechanisms has a serious consequences for the condition of postmodern subject, the more so because the main part of the neocatastrophism is the strong conviction that there is no escape. The author, besides the main thesis mentioned above, highlights some common features between Baudillard’s and Habermas’ conceptions
Enthalpies of formation of Cd–Pr intermetallic compounds and thermodynamic assessment of the Cd–Pr system
No full textAbstractIn the present study standard enthalpies of formation were measured by reaction and solution calorimetry at stoichiometric compositions of Cd2Pr, Cd3Pr, Cd58Pr13 and Cd6Pr. The corresponding values were determined to be −46.0, −38.8, −35.2 and −24.7kJ/mol(at), respectively. These data together with thermodynamic data and phase diagram information from literature served as input data for a CALPHAD-type optimization of the Cd–Pr phase diagram. The complete composition range could be described precisely with the present models, both with respect to phase equilibria as well as to thermodynamic input data. The thermodynamic parameters of all intermetallic compounds were modelled following Neumann–Kopp rule. Temperature dependent contributions to the individual Gibbs energies were used for all compounds. Extended solid solubilities are well described for the low- and high-temperature modifications of Pr and also for the intermetallic compound CdPr. A quite good agreement with all viable data available from literature was found and is presented

Neodymium acetate as a contrast agent for X-ray phase-contrast tomography
No full textPurposeX-ray phase-contrast tomography (XPCT) is a non-destructive, three-dimensional imaging modality that provides higher contrast in soft tissue than absorption-based CT and allows one to cover the cytoarchitecture from the centi- and millimeter scale down to the nanoscale. To further increase contrast and resolution of XPCT, for example, in view of addressing connectivity issues in the central nervous system (CNS), metal staining is indispensable. However, currently used protocols, for example, based on osmium and/or uranium are less suited for XPCT, due to an excessive β / δ-ratio. In this work, we explore the suitability of different staining agents for XPCT. Particularly, neodymium(III)-acetate (NdAc), which has recently been proposed as a non-toxic, non-radioactive easy to use alternative contrast agent for uranyl acetate (UAc) in electron microscopy, is investigated. Due to its vertical proximity to UAc in the periodic table, similar chemical but better suited optical properties for phase contrast can be expected.ApproachDifferently stained whole eye samples of wild type mouse and tissues of the CNS are embedded into EPON epoxy resin and scanned using synchrotron as well as with laboratory radiation. Phase retrieval is performed on the projection images, followed by tomographic reconstruction, which enables a quantitative analysis based on the reconstructed electron densities. Segmentation techniques and rendering software is used to visualize structures of interest in the sample.ResultsWe show that staining neuronal samples with NdAc enhances contrast, in particular for laboratory scans, allowing high-resolution imaging of biological soft tissue in-house. For the example of murine retina, specifically rods and cones as well as the sclera and the Ganglion cell layer seem to be targeted by the stain. A comparison of electron density by the evaluation of histograms allowed to determine quantitative measures to describe the difference between the examined stains.ConclusionThe results suggest NdAc to be an effective stain for XPCT, with a preferential binding to anionic groups, such as phosphate and carboxyl groups at cell surfaces, targeting certain layers of the retina with a stronger selectivity compared to other staining agents. Due to the advantageous X-ray optical properties, the stain seems particularly well-suited for phase contrast, with a comparably small number density and an overall superior image quality at laboratory sources
Walidacja polskiej wersji kwestionariusza Quality of the Carer-Patient Relationship (QCPR) w populacji seniorów z demencją i ich opiekunów
No full textWprowadzenie: Quality of the Carer-Patient Relationship (QCPR) to specyficzna skala służąca do badania jakości relacji między opiekunem a biorcą opieki. Cel: Celem badania było przetłumaczenie, adaptacja kulturowa i walidacja polskiej wersji językowej kwestionariusza QCPR. Materiał i metody: Badanie przeprowadzono w grupie 102 osób, które zgodziły się wziąć udział w tym badaniu. Grupa obejmowała 43 seniorów z demencją we wczesnym i pośrednim stadium zaawansowania oraz 59 opiekunów osób chorujących na demencję. W doborze próby zastosowano metodę kuli śnieżnej. Wszyscy badani zamieszkiwali na terenie województw: małopolskiego i śląskiego. Respondenci wypełniali papierową wersję kwestionariusza QCPR jednokrotnie. Badania zrealizowano w styczniu 2020 roku. Wyniki: Współczynniki rzetelności Alfa Cronbacha (α) dla polskiej wersji językowej wynosił α = 0,93α, co oznacza, że odnotowano bardzo wysoki poziom zgodności wewnętrznej. Wnioski: Zaproponowana polska wersja językowa kwestionariusza the Quality of the Carer-Patient Relationship (QCPR) umożliwia ocenę jakości relacji między osobami tworzącymi diady. Należy zaznaczyć że analiza dotyczy wariantu jednoczynnikowego. Poziom rzetelności skal wyznaczonych odgórnie jest co prawda wysoki (serdeczność: α = 0,93; krytycyzm: α = 0,75), niemniej analizy wskazują, że jest to podział czysto arbitralny, treściowy, a odpowiedzi badanych osób nie łączą się w skale wyróżnione w oryginalnej wersji kwestionariusza.Introduction: Quality of the Carer-Patient Relationship (QCPR) questionnaire is a specific scale for testing the quality of relationship between the caregiver and the care recipient.
Aims: The aim of the study was to translate, culturally adapt and validate the Polish language version of the QCPR questionnaire.
Material and methods: The study was conducted in a group of 102 people who agreed to participate in the trial. The group included 43 seniors with early and intermediate dementia and 59 carers of people with dementia. The snowball method was used in the selection of the sample. All respondents lived in the following provinces: Małopolskie and Śląskie. Respondents completed the paper version of the QCPR questionnaire once. The research was carried out in January 2020.
Results: Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients (α) for the Polish language version was α = 0.93α, which means that a very high level of internal consistency was noted.
Conclusions: The proposed Polish language version of the Quality of the Carer-Patient Relationship (QCPR) questionnaire enables an assessment of the quality of relationships between people forming caregiving dyads. It should be noted that the analysis concerns a single-factor variant. Although the level of reliability of the predefined scales is high (warmth: α = 0.93; criticism: α = 0.75), the analyses show that it is a purely arbitrary, content division and the responses of the participants do not conform to the scales defined in the original version of the questionnaire
Die Böhme Fettchemie GmbH von ihrer Gründung bis in die frühe Nachkriegszeit: Für Eure Wäsche ausgezeichnet – Wasch- und Textilhilfsmittel aus Chemnitz –
No full textDie Böhme Fettchemie ging aus der 1881 von Hermann Theodor Böhme errichteten „Drogen-, Farben- und chemische Produktehandlung“ hervor. Am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts als kleine Verkaufshandlung gegründet, etablierte es sich innerhalb von 50 Jahren zu einem weltbekannten Unternehmen zunächst im Bereich der Textilhilfsmittel. Doch auch im Bereich der Haushaltswaschmittel erreichte es in den 1930er Jahren ebenfalls einen großen Bekanntheitsgrad. Mit der Werbefigur Johanna, die das weltweit erste synthetische Waschmittel „Fewa“ anpries, war es der Firma gelungen, ein breites Publikum auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Neben der Unternehmensgeschichte – von der Gründung bis in die Mitte der 1940er Jahre – gibt die Autorin Ivonne Reichmann mit dem vorliegenden Werk Auskunft über soziale und wirtschaftliche Aspekte der Böhme Fettchemie. Die einzelnen, chronologisch gegliederten Kapitel erschließen die bauliche Erweiterung, die Mitarbeiterstruktur, den Ausbau der Produktpalette sowie die weltweite Ausdehnung des Unternehmens. Deren Werbemaßnahmen spielen dabei ebenso eine Rolle wie die Übernahme durch den Henkel-Konzern in den 1930er Jahren. Mit dieser Studie wird eine Forschungslücke zum bisher wenig betrachteten Bereich der chemischen Industrie im südwestsächsischen Raum geschlossen.:1. Fragestellung und Methode

6. NachkriegsjahreBöhme Fettchemie emerged from a 'drugs, dyes and chemical products shop' established by Hermann Theodor Böhme in 1881. Founded at the end of the 19th century as a small sales business, it established itself within 50 years as a world-famous company, initially in the field of textile auxiliaries. But also in the field of household laundry detergents it achieved a high degree of recognition in the 1930s. With the advertising figure Johanna, who praised the world's first synthetic detergent 'Fewa', the company succeeded in attracting the attention of a wide audience. In addition to the company's history – from its foundation to the mid-1940s – the author Ivonne Reichmann provides information about the social and economic aspects of Böhme Fettchemie with this work. The individual, chronologically structured chapters reveal the structural expansion, the employee structure, the expansion of the product range as well as the worldwide expansion of the company. Their advertising measures play just as much a role as the takeover by the Henkel Group in the 1930s. This study closes a research gap to the hitherto little considered area of the chemical industry in southwest Saxony.:1. Fragestellung und Methode

"Cronica der Turckey" Sebastian Franck's Translation of the "Tractatus de Moribus, Condicionibus et Nequitia Turcorum" by Georgius de Hungaria
No full textThe Tractatus de moribus, condicionibus et nequitia Turcorum is one of the most important first-hand accounts of life in fifteenth-century Turkey known to modern scholarship. It is the work of a Christian former slave of the Turks, writing after his return to the West. Although the author does not name himself, he can be identified as a
Dominican priest, Georgius de Hungaria, who died in Rome in 1502. His Tractatus is conceived as a work of anti-Islamic polemic, yet it contains a surprisingly unbiased appraisal of Turkish customs.
First printed c.1480 when European apprehension in the face of Ottoman expansion was at its height, the Tractatus was reprinted in numerous editions, and was widely used as a
source by other authors. Luther edited the text in 1530, using the positive account of Turkish customs and religious observance as a weapon in his polemic against the Roman
Catholic Church: if heathens could perform such exemplary works, who could fail to doubt the efficacy of works as a means of salvation?
Sebastian Franck in his German translation of the Tractatus went further: replacing Georgius' commentary with his own, he used the text to attack institutional religion as a
whole and to promote his concept of a non-dogmatic, spiritual Church of individuals united with each other only through their union with God -a Church which was not closed to Moslems or members of any other creed. This translation or adaptation, the Cronica der Türckey, marks Franck's decisive break with the Lutheran cause and the beginning of his lonely path as a 'spiritual individualist'. Franck reworked his translation of the Tractatus for his major geographical work, the Weltbuch of 1534.
This thesis concerns itself primarily with Franck's Cronica, providing the first modern critical edition of this text, in a near-diplomatic transcription with an extensive glossary. The thesis also includes transcriptions of the Tractatus; of Türckei, an anonymous translation of the Tractatus, and of relevant additional material from Franck's Weltbuch. None of these texts has been published in full in a modern edition.
In the Introduction Franck's Cronica is compared in detail with the Tractatus, highlighting the changes that occur in translation; the character and the significance of these changes are then discussed. It is established that Franck, whilst being unwilling to reverse any of Georgius' value judgements on Islam and Turkish culture, is highly selective in his choice of material for translation, and frequently gives the text new nuances and adds his own
comment. The question of the Tractatus' influence on Franck's further development as a writer and thinker is also raised.
The investigation then turns to Franck's use of the Tractatus material in his Weltbuch. His eclecticism becomes apparent in this text, in which Georgius' account is juxtaposed - but not synthesised - with material from other sources, often of lesser veracity and greater anti-Islamic bias. Franck's distortion of the Tractatus material to suit his own line of argument is clearly discernible: from the unique phenomenon presented in the Tractatus the Turks
become one more example of the general human tendency to externalise and dogmatise faith.
In addition, the transmission of Cronica and Türckei is examined, and the relationship between these two translations is clarified: Franck certainly used Türckei in writing his Cronica, but is unlikely to be the author of the anonymous work
