10. Folge (11.10.2022): Gesundheitsverständnis im Wandel: Gesundheit in unserer Leistungsgesellschaft
No full textHöher, schneller, weiter – in unserer Leistungsgesellschaft sind wir gezwungen jedes Jahr mehr zu leisten, unsere Persönlichkeit zu optimieren, erfolgreicher und kreativer zu werden. Doch wie wirkt sich das auf unsere Wahrnehmung von „Gesundheit“ aus? Spiegelt das Streben nach Gesundheit den Wunsch nach Wohlbefinden wider oder ist das nur der Zwang nach Selbstoptimierung und maximaler Performance? In dieser Podcast Folge wollen wir erfahren, wie Gesundheitsförderung und kapitalistische Leistungsgesellschaft zusammenhängen. Unser heutiger Gesprächspartner ist Prof. Dr. Hartmut Rosa, ein deutscher Soziologe und Politikwissenschaftler an der Universität Jena und Direktor des Max-Weber-Kollegs der Universität Erfurt

Sociedades modernas, sociedades de obsolescência: a sociologia temporal de Hartmut Rosa / Modern societies, obsolescence societies: Hartmut Rosa's temporal sociology
No full textResenha de: ROSA, Hartmut. Aceleração: a transformação das estruturas temporais na modernidade. São Paulo: Editora Unesp, 2019. Centrado na revisitação da modernidade a partir de uma perspectiva temporal, Hartmut Rosa sustenta o conceito de aceleração social como aspecto fundante do projeto moderno. Explorando diferentes variáveis causais para o conceito da aceleração social, a resenha examina as transformações das instituições morais, valorativas e políticas ocorridas ao longo do desenvolvimento histórico da modernidade como episódios induzidos pela obsolescência. Sendo esta um produto de campos de ação crescentemente cambiantes e acelerados, o autor mobiliza esse conceito para fundamentar inédita proposta de diferenciação entre a modernidade e a modernidade tardia como momentos históricos calcados em diferentes níveis de compressão espaço-temporal, estabilidade institucional e temporalização de projetos individuais e coletivos de futuro.***AbstractCentered on revisiting modernity from a temporal perspective, Hartmut Rosa supports the concept of social acceleration as a fundamental aspect of the modern project. Exploring different causal variables for the concept of social acceleration, the review examines the transformations of moral, valuative and political institutions that occurred during the historical development of modernity as episodes induced by obsolescence. As this is a product of increasingly changing and accelerated fields of action, the author mobilizes this concept to substantiate an unprecedented proposal for differentiation between modernity and late modernity as historical moments based on different levels of space-time compression, institutional stability and temporalization of individual and collective future projects
Surveying silk fibre degradation by crystallinity determination: a study on the Tang-Dynasty silk treasure from Famen Temple, China
No full textWhen Chinese archaeologists opened an unknown vault under the collapsed pagoda of Famen Temple near Xian (Shaanxi Province, NW China) in 1987, they found a vast amount of valuable silk textiles. The degraded textiles were part of a treasure comprising hundreds of artifacts deposited by Tang dynasty (ad 618–907) emperors as a gift to the temple. Run as a bilateral German-Chinese project, the Roemisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum Mainz established a textile conservation laboratory in Shaanxi´s provincial capital Xian in 2001, joining numerous other laboratories that have existed there since the early 1990s.This preliminary study represents part of an ongoing investigation programme that accompanies the conservation work. The Tang dynasty silk is generally in a very poor state of preservation as a result of its long burial period. Large sections have only survived as an amorphous brown mass of fibre debris. Some parts are better preserved, however, offering the unique opportunity to study the whole range of degradation stages on ancient silks.This preliminary scientific investigation focuses on the determination of the silk fibres’ crystallinity and its relation to the ageing process. As we know from modern material, silk is mainly crystalline, albeit in a somewhat amorphous state. The methods of investigation used were X-ray diffraction (XRD) using synchrotron radiation, which is a new way to determine crystallinity of ancient silk fibres; and polarized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for the determination of crystallite orientation. Both methods were specifically devised to gain information on small single fibres

Comparison of Advanced Mid-Sized Reactors Regarding Passive Features, Core Damage Frequencies and Core Melt Retention Features
No full textNew Light Water Reactors, whose regular safety systems are complemented by passive safety systems, are ready for the market. The special aspect of passive safety features is their actuation and functioning independent of the operator. They add significantly to reduce the core damage frequency (CDF) since the operator continues to play its independent role in actuating the regular safety devices based on modern instrumentation and control (I&C). The latter also has passive features regarding the prevention of accidents. Two reactors with significant passive features that are presently offered on the market are the AP1000 PWR and the SWR 1000 BWR. Their passive features are compared and also their core damage frequencies (CDF). The latter are also compared with those of a VVER-1000. A further discussion about the two passive plants concerns their mitigating features for severe accidents. Regarding core-melt retention both rely on in-vessel cooling of the melt. The new VVER-1000 reactor, on the other hand features a validated ex-vessel concept.JRC.F.4 - Nuclear design safet

Modernidade dessincronizada: aceleração social, destemporalização e alienação: uma entrevista com Hartmut Rosa
No full textThe scope of this interview is to present the social experiences and the analytical categories which comprise Hartmut Rosa’s theory of social acceleration. At the outset, the questions lead the author to recall the reasons that lead to his interest in the problem of time in the present modernity, as well as the intellectual path that guided him to such an interest. The consequences of what Rosa diagnoses as a society of de-synchronized and de-temporalized acceleration are exposed and subsequently a new interpretation of the concept of alienation is proposed. Through his claim of being a successor to the school of critical social theory, Rosa also indicates the rough outlines of his critical model’s normative referential, examining the temporal maxims that make up the modern ideal of a good life.A presente entrevista traz como seu escopo uma apresentação da experiência social e das principais categorias analíticas que compõem a teoria da aceleração social de Hartmut Rosa. De início, as questões conduzem o autor a uma recapitulação dos motivos que o levaram a desenvolver seu interesse pelo problema do tempo na modernidade hodierna, bem como da trajetória intelectual que o guiou a tal interesse. São expostas as consequências daquilo que Rosa diagnostica como uma sociedade de aceleração dessincronizada e destemporalizada, e, com elas, uma nova interpretação do fenômeno da alienação. Reivindicando-se como um herdeiro da teoria crítica da sociedade, Rosa também indica os traços gerais do referencial normativo de seu modelo crítico, examinando as máximas temporais que perfazem o ideal moderno de boa vida
Safety Investigation of Liquid-Metal-Cooled Nuclear Systems with Heat Exchanger in the Risers of Simple Flow-Path Pool Design
No full textSafety investigations were performed on 600- and 1426-MW(thermal) liquid-metal-cooled reactors with the heat exchangers (HXs) located in the risers of simple flow-path pool designs. This includes both critical reactors and accelerator-driven systems (ADSs) using liquid metal coolants. For the 600-MW(thermal) ADS, the safety implications were examined for vessel sizes of two heights (11 and 15 m) and two diameters (6 and 10 m). Then, the reference design of 11-m height and 6-m diameter was compared with a similar design, but with the HXs located in the downcomers. The transients investigated were total-loss of-power (TLOP), unprotected-loss-of-flow (ULOF), protected-loss-of-flow, and unprotected loss-of-heat-sink accidents. The 600-MW(thermal) ADS of 11-m height and 6-m diameter peaks at 1041 K after 29 h during a TLOP accident. If the diameter is increased to 10 m, it will peak after 55 h at a 178 K lower temperature thanks to its larger thermal inertia. The difference between locating the HXs in the risers and the downcomers is insignificant for this accident type. With the HXs in the risers, the temperature peaks at 1045 K after 28 h. During
a ULOF accident in an ADS at full power, the core outlet temperature stabilizes at 1010 K, which is 337 K above the nominal outlet temperature. When the vessel height is increased to 15 m, the natural convection is improved, and the core outlet temperature stabilizes at 911 K. A Pb-cooled 1426-MW(thermal) reactor of 11-m height and 12-m diameter is also shown to be sufficiently coolable during a TLOP accident; i.e., it peaks at 1093 K after 49 h. In a pool-type design with a simple flow path, the use of HXs in the risers and flaps at their inlets that prevent a flow reversal will have significant safety advantages in case of HX tube failures. Steam or gas bubbles exiting from the secondary circuit cannot be dragged into the core region by the liquid-metal coolant. Instead, they would rise with the coolant and exit through the free surface. Another important effect from placing the HXs in the risers is the fact that the reactor vessel wall will be cooler during normal operation and during all accidents in which the HXs still operate. This is because the coolant passes through the HXs before it reaches the vessel wall. The idea to place the HXs in the risers of a simple flow-path design is protected by European patent No. 04 103 634.4. The computational fluid dynamics code STAR-CD was used in all calculations.JRC.F.4 - Nuclear design safet
