Palynological investigations on vegetation and climate change in the Late Quaternary of Lake Rukche area, Gorkha Himal, Central Nepal
No full textPalynological data and pedological investigations including stable isotopes and lignin biomarkers (Glaser et al. in press) from a 4 m core of Lake Rukche (3500 m a.s.l.) enhance our palaeoecological knowledge of the time since the LGM in the Gorkha Himal, Central Nepal. Even before 15000 B.P. forest types became established which prove the existence in Central Nepal of a temperate-humid climate with a considerable amount of winter and spring precipitation from westerly disturbances. Lignin input and pollen data point to a patchy vegetation cover around Lake Rukche with meadow-steppes dominated by Poaceae. Around 15000 B.P. Quercus and Pinus roxburghii dominated the lower altitudes while the vegetation around Lake Rukche was more steppe-like (Chenopodiaceae, Artemisia). Subsequently the climate became warmer and drier as winter and spring precipitation decreased while summer rain remained low. Later on more resource-demanding forests became established under improved temperature and precipitation conditions (Engelhardia). Around Lake Rukche coniferous forests (Abies, Picea) occurred beside meadow-steppes. The transition from the Pleistocene to the Holocene is not recorded. In the Holocene alpine Kobresia-meadows stabilised the soil surface causing sand accumulation to end. During the mid-Holocene (7800-2750 B.P.) humid oak forests with demanding elements (Ilex, Coriaria, Myrsine and Engelhardia) dominated the vegetation cover. A charcoal layer and a marked emergence of fire-induced communities with Pinus roxburghii, Poaceae, Ericaceae and Pteridium are proofs of a first strong anthropogenic change in vegetation which coincided with the climatic deterioration at the onset of the Subatlantic. Since 900 B.P. grazing pressure and the frequency of fires increased, resulting in a replacement of Betula utilis-forests by meadows and woods of Juniperus and Rhododendron. While previous anthropogenic influence increased the biodiversity by promoting replacement communities, recent developments have led to a decrease in biodiversity through loss of natural vegetation communities

The German-speaking refugee's perception of Buenos Aires in selected short stories by Paul Zech
No full textW artykule ukazano, w jaki sposób przebywający na emigracji w Argentynie niemiecki pisarz Paul Zech prezentuje w swoich opowiadaniach Buenos Aires, kulturę tego miasta oraz jego mieszkańców, a także niemieckojęzyczną wspólnotę w Argentynie. Podstawę analizy stanowią trzy utwory: "Die Geschichte einer Straßenbahnfahrt" (Historia pewnej podróży tramwajem), "Kakteen" (Kaktusy) oraz "Die neue Gaucho-Literatur" (Nowa literatura Gaucho). Istotnym elementem tych tekstów, a tym samym ważnym przedmiotem analizy jest także postrzeganie przez niemieckojęzycznego uchodźcę obcej, pozaeuropejskiej kultury, jak również pojawiające się pytanie o trwałość europejskich wzorców kulturowych i sympatii politycznych oraz ich wpływ na postrzeganie obcości.The article presents how the German writer Paul Zech, who lived in exile in Argentina, portrays Buenos Aires, its culture, and its inhabitants, as well as the German-speaking community in Argentina, in his short stories. The analysis is based on three works: "Die Geschichte einer Straßenbahnfahrt" (The Story of a Tram Journey), "Kakteen" (Cacti), and "Die neue Gaucho-Literatur" (The New Gaucho Literature). An important element of these texts, and therefore a significant subject of analysis, is the perception of a foreign, non-European culture by a German speaking refugee, as well as the emerging question of the persistence of European cultural patterns, political sympathies and their impact on the perception of foreignness
Analysis of אמצים [’mṣîm] in the Hexapla
No full textThe term אמצים as encountered in Zech 6:3 and 6:7 has been interpreted in various ways by ancient translators, including the LXX, Peshitta, Targum, Vulgate, and the Masoretic Text. The ambiguity surrounding אמצים is further highlighted in Origen’s Hexapla. Importantly, there is no agreement on the translation of אמצים in Zech 6:7. Aquila’s translation is particularly significant, as it offers a unique interpretation of אמצים in Zech 6:3 that differs from his rendering in Zech 6:7. This article argues that Aquila’s version of Zech 6:7 does not correspond to the Hebrew text that underlies the Masoretic Text, whereas both Symmachus and Theodotion are consistent with the Hebrew reading of the Masoretic Text. Textual criticism is utilized to support this claim.Termin אמצים występujący w Za 6,3 i 6,7 był interpretowany na różne sposoby przez starożytnych tłumaczy – LXX, Peszittę, Targum, Wulgatę i tekst masorecki. Niejednoznaczność otaczająca אמצים jest dodatkowo podkreślona w Heksapli Orygenesa. Co ważne, nie ma zgody co do tłumaczenia אמצים w Za 6,7. Tłumaczenie Akwili jest szczególnie znaczące, ponieważ oferuje unikalną interpretację אמצים w Za 6,3, która różni się od jego interpretacji w Za 6,7. Artykuł dowodzi, że wersja Za 6,7 autorstwa Akwili nie odpowiada hebrajskiemu tekstowi, który stanowi podstawę tekstu masoreckiego, podczas gdy zarówno Symmachus, jak i Teodocjon są zgodni z hebrajską interpretacją tekstu masoreckiego. W celu poparcia tego twierdzenia została wykorzystana metoda krytyki tekstu

Reconstructing lake evaporation history and the isotopic composition of precipitation by a coupled delta<sup>18</sup>O–delta<sup>2</sup>H biomarker approach
No full textOver the past decades, delta O-18 and delta H-2 analyses of lacustrine sediments became an invaluable tool in paleohydrology and paleolimnology for reconstructing the isotopic composition of past lake water and precipitation. However, based on delta O-18 or delta H-2 records alone, it can be challenging to distinguish between changes of the precipitation signal and changes caused by evaporation. Here we propose a coupled, delta O-18-delta H-2 biomarker approach that provides the possibility to disentangle between these two factors. The isotopic composition of long chain n-alkanes (n-C-33, n-C-27, n-C-31) were analyzed in order to establish a 16 ka Late Glacial and Holocene delta H-2 record for the sediment archive of Lake Panch Pokhari in High Himalaya, Nepal. The delta H-2(n-alkane) record generally corroborates a previously established delta O-18(sugar) record reporting on high values characterizing the deglaciation and the Older and the Younger Dryas, and low values characterizing the Bolling and the Allerod periods. Since the investigated n-alkane and sugar biomarkers are considered to be primarily of aquatic origin, they were used to reconstruct the isotopic composition of lake water. The reconstructed deuterium excess of lake water ranges from +57 parts per thousand to -85 parts per thousand and is shown to serve as proxy for the evaporation history of Lake Panch Pokhari. Lake desiccation during the deglaciation, the Older Dryas and the Younger Dryas is affirmed by a multi-proxy approach using the Hydrogen Index (HI) and the carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) as additional proxies for lake sediment organic matter mineralization. Furthermore, the coupled delta O-18 and delta H-2 approach allows disentangling the lake water isotopic enrichment from variations of the isotopic composition of precipitation. The reconstructed 16 delta O-18(precipitation) record of Lake Panch Pokhari is well in agreement with the delta O-18 records of Chinese speleothems and presumably reflects the Indian Summer Monsoon variability.
