Cet article se propose d’analyser les courants et les doctrines méthodologiques représentés à l’Académie de Berlin entre 1746 et 1761 en prenant en compte les deux orientations principales qui s’y affrontent : d’une part, le wolffianisme soutenu en premier lieu par Formey, qui argumente l’emploi d’une méthode d’inspiration mathématique en philosophie, et, de l’autre, le camp newtonien et anti-wolffien, représenté notamment Maupertuis et Béguelin, qui affirme l’hétérogénéité de la mathématique et de la philosophie et la nécessité d’en tenir compte sur le plan méthodologique. Ce débat est intimement dépendant des prises de position de Crusius et de Wolff et leur analyse s’avère indispensable. Il formule également le cadre conceptuel de la Preisaufgabe pour l’année 1763, jouant un rôle déterminant dans l’élaboration des réponses, ainsi qu’en témoignent les mémoires de Mendelssohn et de Kant, discutés dans la dernière partie du texte. L’Académie de Berlin apparaît ainsi comme un acteur décisif dans les controverses philosophiques de l’époque et dans la redéfinition méthodologique amorcée.

Abstract The Fifth International Conference on Concussion in Sport was held in Berlin in October 2016. A series of 12 questions and subquestions was developed and the expert panel members were required to perform a systematic review to answer each question. Following presentation at the Berlin meeting of the systematic review, poster abstracts and audience discussion, the summary Consensus Statement was produced. Further, a series of tools for the management of sport-related concussion was developed, including the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool Fifth edition (SCAT5), the Child SCAT5, and the Concussion Recognition Tool Fifth edition. This paper elaborates on this process, the outcomes, and explores the implications for neurosurgeons in the management of sport-related concussion.

Full textAbstract:
Soon after taking office, the Eisenhower administration adopted two key decisions on Berlin and the German question that were to have far-reaching consequences in the 1950s and 1960s. First, Eisenhower reaffirmed the U.S. security commitment to West Berlin, a commitment that entailed at least some risk of general war. Second, the administration prepared to use West Berlin in a broader political strategy aimed at weakening and eventually undermining Soviet power in Eastern Europe. The implications of these early decisions did not become fully evident until 1958, when the administration was confronted by a Soviet ultimatum on Berlin.

This research note addresses the difficulties in acquiring interview partners within the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft-funded project ‘Neighbourhood in the tourist trap? An examination on the changing residential quality through tourist accommodation in selected Berlin residential neighbourhoods’. The research project is analysing to what extent the quality of residential areas has changed as a result of tourist accommodation through a mixed-method approach. In order to ensure a differentiated database, one aim of the project was to interview residents with different durations of residency and educational levels, and to take into account the high density of people with a migration background in Berlin. Since Berliners of Turkish origin represent the largest group of people with a migration background in Berlin, it was in the interest of the research to make this group’s views visible and voices heard. In the research note we focus on the acquisition of Turkish Berliners and reflect on the question of why establishing contacts with Turkish Berliners was especially challenging. In order to answer this question, some hypotheses on non-response conduct will be sketched from which we draw our conclusions of an alteration of acquisition within the field of New Urban Tourism in Berlin.

For his debut column, new FQ contributing editor Manuel Betancourt examines three recent Mexican films—Las niñas bien (The Good Girls, Alejandra Márquez Abella, 2018), Esto no es Berlín (This Is Not Berlin, Hari Sama, 2019), and Museo (Alonso Ruiz Palacios, 2018)—that trace the changing social and economic forces that fractured Mexico during the 1980s. Focusing on characters and stories that are seldom at the heart of historical chronicles, these narratives anchor revisionist approaches that lead audiences to the margins: to take women's experiences seriously, to find value in queer radical thinking, and to question colonial discourse, all the while pushing back against any kind of monolithic understanding of Mexican state discourse.

Full textAbstract:
The text is dealing with the article (PROKlA 4/2007) of Henrik Lebuhn on urban entrepreneurial policies based on the example of Berlin. The policy of the town of Berlin is a complex and contradictory process which includes more and other things than being a NPM model town. Lebuhn's analysis of the conflicts and the lines of debate is strongly reduced, because he doesn't take into consideration at all the entire development of Berlin since 1990. Contrary to that the autor argues that especially strategic defects of the Berlin left have led to the weakness of alternative political approaches. Instead of eluding the question of an appropriate handling of public resources the left should pick it up head-on and bring it back into the political arena of the town.

Les différences dans le rôle attribué à la police à Berlin et en région parisienne contribuent ainsi à définir les relations entre les policiers de terrain et les populations minoritaires.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail est né d'une interrogation sur l'interdépendance possible entre l'instauration de la division allemande et la montée en puissance de l'URSS sur la scène internationale après 1945. Cette simultanéité est-elle rationnelle? Dans quelle mesure la question nationale allemande peut-elle être conditionnée par la politique soviétique? De par ses victoires sur l’Allemagne nazie, l'URSS en 1945 est consacrée comme une grande puissance, participant avec ses partenaires de la coalition antihitlérienne à la construction du monde de l'après-guerre. Elle met en œuvre une politique allemande tous azimuts, à options contradictoires éprouvées simultanément, la conversion de l’Allemagne entière au socialisme et sa neutralisation militaire et économique. Éprouvée par la guerre, elle ne peut paradoxalement réaliser ses objectifs sans le concours de l'occident, présent également en Allemagne en 1945. L'existence d'une dualité entre la forte idéologisation de la politique soviétique et la nécessaire prise en compte des occidentaux confère en fait une marge de manœuvre étroite à la politique allemande de l'URSS. Cette dualité porte en germe son échec car, de par leur dogmatisme idéologique irréductible, les soviétiques sont incapables d'en affranchir leur politique mais, de par leur position de force après 1945, capables en revanche d'en masquer les effets en gelant la question allemande sur le plan internationalIs there a possible interdependance between the division of Germany into two states and the fact that soviet union has become a great power after the second world war? Does the German question depend to some extent on the sovietic policy? Thanks to its victories upon the nazi Germany, soviet union became in 1945 a great power that took part into the building of the postwar world with its occidental partners. In Germany it implemented a policy fullfilled with contradictions because it wanted Germany to become a socialist state and at the same time attempted to neutralize it economically and militarily. But it was unable to carry out its projects without the help or at least the conciliating attitude of the occidental powers also staying in Germany after the war. There was a great duality in the soviet policy : the first socialist state, ideologically in conflict with the capitalist states, had to take them into account and thus had no total freedom in Germany. Because of its duality and because soviet union was stuck to its ideological dogmatism, this policy was bound to fail. Yet, its status of great power enabled soviet union to mitigate the effects of ist failure by preventing the German question from being resolved in a way it doesn't want

Les différences dans le rôle attribué à la police à Berlin et en région parisienne contribuent ainsi à définir les relations entre les policiers de terrain et les populations minoritairesOn the basis of ethnographic surveys conducted in police stations in Paris and Berlin, we propose to analyze the relationship between policing and the “minority question”, that is to say the ways in which police officers define and implement categories based on the nationality, culture, origin, appearance, or religion of the people they meet. Through extensive interviews and observation of police work in territories considered "sensitive" in France and Germany, we have shown how these categories frame the representations and the action of the police. By adopting a sociologically comprehensive perspective and broadening the focus of the analysis, we put the issue of police racism and discrimination in the widest economy of police practices and representations. The comparative approach has revealed that the relationship between the policing and the minorities depends on the professional standards, on urban and social contexts as well as on the institutional policies in which policing operates. We show how differences in the roles assigned to the police in Berlin and Paris contribute to defining the relationship between officers “on the beat” and minority populations
Ausgehend von ethnographischen Untersuchungen in Polizeidienststellen in der Pariser Region und in Berlin soll in dieser Arbeit das Zusammenspiel analysiert werden, welches sich aus polizeilichen Maβnahmen und minderheitsgebundenem Kategorisierungsprozess definiert ; das heiβt, die Art, in der die Polizisten Klassifizierungskategorien im Zusammenhang mit Nationnalität, Kultur, Herkunft, Aussehen oder auch Religion von Personen, denen sie begegnen, umsetzen. Über die Durchführung tiefgehender Befragungen und die Beobachtung der Polizeiarbeit an denjenigen Orten und in Bezug auf Bevölkerungsteile, welche in zwei nationalen Kontexten als "sensibel" erarchtet werden, konnte aufgezeigt werden, inwiefern diese Kategorien dazu beitragen, einen Rahmen für polizeiliche Maβnahmen zu bilden und die Polizisten bei der Definition ihrer beruflichen Identität vor Probleme stellen. Mittels einer interpretativ-soziologischen Perspektive, dank derer der Fokus der Arbeit sich erweiterte, wurde die Frage von Rassismus und Diskriminierungen in die so weit wie möglich gefasste Ökonomie polizeilicher Praktiken und Vorstellungen eingebettet. Ein vergleichender Ansatz gestattete es, aufzuzeigen, dass das Zusammenspiel aus polizeilichen Maβnahmen und minderheitsgebundenem Kategorisierungsprozess von beruflichen Normen abhängt, wie auch von dem urbanen und sozialen Umfeld sowie von der Institutionspolitik, in welche es eingebettet ist. Die Unterschiede in Bezug auf die Rolle, welche der Polizei in Berlin und in der Pariser Region jeweils zugeschrieben wird, tragen dazu bei, die Beziehungen zwischen Polizisten und den Minderheiten angehörenden Bevölkerungsteilen zu definieren

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the measures adopted by Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality for capacity building of rural community members to participate effectively in the Integrated Developmental Planning (IDP) process. Focus was on the rural areas of Berlin. Existing studies suggest that, due to low literacy levels and lack of knowledge and understanding about local government issues and the benefits of participation, rural residents have little knowledge of their rights, roles and responsibilities in the IDP process, and do not know the structures designed to enhance participation. The present study was conducted against this backdrop. A mixed-methods research approach was employed, utilising quantitative and qualitative research techniques. A survey was conducted with members of four rural villages in Berlin in the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Questionnaires, with open and close-ended questions, were utilised, while in-depth interviews were conducted with IDP officials at Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality. The findings show that, while the Municipality did have community capacity-building measures in place; these were more about building the capacity of local government councillors and other local government officials and not rural community members. Whereas the municipality believed the capacity building of councillors would translate to building the capacity of rural community members, capacity building of rural community members did not happen. Community members appeared not to understand the IDP process, an indication that whatever capacity-building measures were targeted at them had no real effect in terms of engendering meaningful participation.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse interroge la relation entre un type de territoire, les quartiers périphériques, et une forme d'approche politique, la démocratie participative. Elle s'appuie sur la comparaison de trois quartiers européens pour comprendre l'origine de la gestion des quartiers périphériques par la mise en place de dispositifs participatifs. En mettant en regard ces expériences avec des mouvements sociaux, de l'après guerre puis de la fin du XIX eme siècle, il apparaît que des résonances existent dans les discours et les pratiques des acteurs. Néanmoins, ces pratiques se rejoignent par l'exigence démocratique qu'elles portent. J'aborde ensuite la question de cette relation entre démocratie participative et territoire par l'examen du rôle de l'altérité dans les expériences participatives : déclencheur a l'échelon micro-local, il est aussi facteur de ciblage a l'échelon macro-local. Ce ciblage conduit à la mise en place de politiques de gestion des quartiers périphériques qui s'accompagnent de la mise en place de dispositifs participatifs. L'examen des conflits micro-locaux générés par des pratiques considérées comme" autres" par les participants aux expérience participatives conduit a comprendre en quoi l'échelle du quartier, et tout particulièrement de l'espace intermédiaire, est privilégiée pour, mettre en œuvre la démocratie participative. Enfin, la démocratie participative est remise en perspective de son acception courante, en tant que méthodologie accompagnant des politiques de cohésion sociale ou de gestion des quartiers périphériques : il s'agit alors de voir en quoi de telles politiques sont compatibles avec les exigences de la démocratie participativeThe present thesis is dedicated to the relationship between the nature of a territory, the suburbs, and participative democracy. This study is realized comparing three European districts in order to understand the European specificity which consists in the participative management of peripheral neighbourhoods. Although quite different, these three experiments present strong similarities as shown in a first part -concrete projects, debates. . . They are then analyzed through the social events occurring after second World War and at the end of the 19th century. Some echos can be pointed out in the actor speeches as well as in the various applications, which are both territorially --and nationally --de pendant. Nevertheless, they converge to meet the democratic requirements especially strong in these territories. The relationship between participative democracy and the location is next examined through the awareness of others and their differences, coined as "otherity". This constitutes an impulse at a local scale and participates to the macro-scale priority settlements, which activates the development of management policies of peripheral neighborhoods. The examination of the micro-scale conflicts due to "otherity" points ' the importance of the local scale and even more of the "out-of-the door"-space in participative democracy conclude, the main issue to be addressed is not to consider the participative democracy as a methodology in social policy but as an aim to attain

Full textAbstract:
Qu'est-ce qu'une tête? C'est à cette question que Marwan (né à Damas en 1934, habitant à Berlin depuis 1957) s'est confronté dans sa démarche artistique, en commençant par la figure humaine et en passant par le visage. Si ce dernier, traité horizontalement, est reconnaissable dans ses traits, la tête, effigie verticale, s'efface. Les deux motifs jouent au caché-voilé, deviennent paysages et viennent à la rencontre. Le présent travail qui s'appuie sur la biographie et sur une étude transculturelle, questionne le visage dans son œuvre depuis 1964. L'accès à sa problématique picturale a été rendu possible grâce aux sources premières : dessins préparatoires, écrits et entretiens avec l'artiste, qui ont permis d'enrichir la recherche en abordant des aspects anthropologiques aussi bien que plastiques. Nourri de la double culture orientale et occidentale, Marwan participe au questionnement du visage humain dans ses métamorphoses par rapport à l'absence, à l'inanimé, au voilement-dévoilement, au même et à l'autre, au singulier et à l'universelWhat is a head ? This is the question that Marwan (born in Damascus in 1934, residing in Berlin since 1957) has confronted in his artistic approach, starting from the human figure and passing through to the face. If the latter, treated horizontally, is recognizable in its features, the head, vertical effigy, fades. The two patterns play between being hidden and masked, at times blending into landscapes and merging together.This research, built from biographical and cross-cultural study, questions the subject of the face in his work since 1964. The accessibility to his complex pictorial was made possible from primary sources: preparatory drawings, writings and interviews with the artist. These sources have led to the study of anthropological themes and plastics, which have further enriched the research of his artistic approach.The fusion of the Eastern and Western cultures have driven Marwan's questioning of the human face and its metamorphosis in relation to absence, to the inanimate, to veiling-unveiling, to the same and the other, to the singular and the universal

Full textAbstract:
Taking as its subject the Russo-Ottoman borderland during the period between the Treaty of Berlin (1878) and the start of the First World War (1914), and making extensive use of Ottoman archival documents covering this period, this thesis focuses on the ways in which the Ottoman state attempted to establish two types of boundary in order to ensure sovereignty over its territory. Firstly, there was a new geo-political border, the line dividing the Russian and Ottoman Empires at the juncture of north-eastern Anatolia and the southern Caucasus, created by the Treaty of Berlin. Secondly, there was what can be called a citizenship boundary, shaped by various laws and regulations defining the Ottoman citizenry. The main issues examined in respect of the first boundary are various types of human movement across this border and their control by the Ottoman state. Primary concerns regarding the second boundary revolve around the inclusion in and exclusion from the Ottoman citizenship of ethno-religious groups as a result of the Ottoman state's enforcement of the border. Our approach to studying how the citizenship boundary was established is two-fold, reflecting both local and state perspectives. The local perspective shows the actions of the inhabitants and travellers passing through this border region as shaped by their own day-to-day needs, livelihood patterns and pre-existing socio-economic relations; these resisted limitation by the logic of the sovereign state. The state perspective reflects the Ottoman view of Russia as the main threat to its border territories; this view led the Ottoman central authorities to perceive the entanglements and overlapping positions of its subjects in and with Russia as the cause of their ambiguous loyalties to the Ottoman state. In focusing on the specific policies and practices that the Ottoman state applied in order to deal with this ambiguity, two groups of people, Muslims and Armenians, are singled out. Notwithstanding the all-embracing state laws and discourse of legal equality, Ottoman border policy in respect of its Muslim subjects is shown to have differed greatly from that designed for its Armenian subjects. Therefore, the thesis offers a nuanced framework with which to understand Ottoman citizenship in the Russo-Ottoman border context, by revealing the normative and practical measures the Ottoman state employed to classify its Muslim and Armenian populations, thereby differentiating their status as subjects. This thesis - the first English-language work on the Russo-Ottoman border region during the late nineteenth century and pre-WWI period- offers a range of original insights into this borderland in particular and related issues more generally. It unfolds the details of everyday life and represents the local people as active agents - active, moreover, in relation both to the changing nature and effectiveness of the state's assertion of territorial authority and also to the differences between the two empires' policies and practices. Overall, the thesis focuses on the end-of-empire border politics and the issue of Ottoman citizenship not only from the perspective of macro-level political developments and central state power but also in terms of the peripheral specificities of administration and the movements and subjecthood choices of villagers. Thus, this thesis presents a new type of multi-faceted account of borderland development in which ethno-religious considerations came to inform a somewhat messy production of sovereignty in the context of the modernizing transition between empire and nation-state.

This chapter analyzes Isaiah Berlin's work, stating that the relationship of liberalism to Berlin's value pluralism remains fraught, as does the question whether value pluralism can avoid relativism. Notably, Judith Shklar and Berlin admired each other and shared a skeptical temperament as well as a dedication to the study of the history of ideas as the indispensable method of pursuing political philosophy in their time. Neither shared Hannah Arendt's conviction that the legacy of failed revolutions could only be countered by the activist civic republicanism of self-governing communities. The chapter also contextualizes the varying views of Berlin's work and persona through the prism of Max Weber's doctrine of value pluralism.

Full textAbstract:
As in any city recovering from disaster, Berlin, following World War II, had the opportunity to reconnect with its local traditions. The restoration of political, social, and cultural forms offered a kind of reconnection, and so did the tangible reconstruction of buildings, streets, and utility lines. Any revival of tradition was, however, enormously complicated by two problems of continuity, one temporal, one geographical—and both of them political and philosophical. First was the question of historical continuity. On the one hand, there was a desire to rebuild: to repair a damaged but extant city or, more broadly, to continue the best local traditions in architectural style, social policy, and economic development. On the other hand, everyone in charge was determined to break demonstratively with the immediate past, that is, with the Third Reich, but they did not agree about which cultural, architectural, or urbanistic traditions were the Nazi ones. The second complication arose from the fact that the city was soon divided between East and West, governed by two ideologically opposed regimes, each determined to claim the legacy of pre-Nazi Berlin, to display the clearer break with Hitler, and to prove its cultural and political superiority. Under these complicated circumstances, the rebuilding of Berlin became one of the most visibly contested venues of the early Cold War, even as it remained a matter of basic comfort and prosperity for ordinary Berliners. The fact of Berlin’s destruction in the Second World War is well known, but merely to ask the question of what caused that destruction is to plunge into contested territory. In the Soviet-occupied East, for example, the official line at first informed Germans that the destruction of their land was the legacy of Hitler and the Nazis. Later, as the Cold War heated up, they were more likely to hear blame cast upon the “Anglo-American terror bombers” (with no mention of the secondary role of Red Army artillery in the battle of Berlin). In theWestern zones of occupation, a version of the former story remained the official one, with perhaps more emphasis on the collective responsibility of the German people as a whole for the deeds of the Nazis.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter presents the third element fundamental to an overall picture: the music itself, with specific focus on the relationship between music, text, and the city. The chapter begins with a wider discussion of music’s role in sounding urban geographies. This is then set against the indeterminacy and ambiguities of “placing” klezmer music—a result of mid-twentieth-century rupture, subsequent postwar cultural submergence, and the transnationalism of its contemporary revival. The main body of the chapter is devoted to the specific ways that the city of Berlin is articulated through its klezmer music. In order to do this, the chapter takes as its starting point sociologist Adam Krims’s flexible concept of “urban ethos,” applying this for the first time to the processes of traditional music. Through detailed analysis of a series of musical examples, it shows the important ways in which the city of Berlin is made meaningful in its klezmer music—how exactly, through both music and text, the city functions as a significant musical-semantic unit. The musicians discussed include ?Shmaltz!, Daniel Kahn, and Knoblauch Klezmer Band, and the analysis is supported by detailed transcriptions and interview material. Throughout the chapter and through the work of these different artists, certain themes reappear—themes particularly pertinent to Berlin and Jewish musical production. These include notions of escape, borders, and transgression and the dialogue between visible and hidden histories. The chapter also uses David Kaminsky’s theorization of the “New Old Europe Sound” to question and problematize some of the urban expressions discussed.

This chapter investigates a largely unexplored facet of English Jewish history, reopening the issue of whether there was a Haskalah in England. Historians generally contend that the modernization of England's Jews was not ideological but was shaped by the irresistible pull of English society. In this view, the creative work of diverse Anglo-Jewish thinkers is seen as a specifically Jewish phenomenon, a response to English openness and tolerance. In contrast, the chapter points to a number of thinkers who were in contact with English intellectuals and were influenced by such important trends as Lockian philosophy, millenarianism, Newtonianism, deism, and atheism. The discovery of this English Jewish intellectual current prior to the Berlin Haskalah, and apparently unrelated to the work of other maskilim, certainly provides students of the Haskalah with food for thought.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: Among several urban plans designed for Berlin, we find Le Corbusier`s project for the Hauptstadt Berlin 1958 competition, which aimed at thinking the reconstruction of the city center destroyed in the II World War. Corbusier`s relation with Berlin dates back to 1910, when he arrives at the city to work at Peter Behrens` office. So, for him, the plan for Berlin was a rare opportunity to develop ideas about the city that provided one of the largest contributions to his urban design education, and also to develop ideas he formulated forty years before for Paris` center. Besides that, this project was developed almost simultaneously with CIAM`s crises and dissolution, which culminated in the 50`s with the consequent appearance of Team 10. At that moment Corbusier`s universalist approach to urbanism starts to be challenged by CIAM`s young generation, which had a critical approach towards the design methods inherited from the previous generation, associated with CIAM`s foundational moment. From the beginning of the 50`s on, this new generation balances the universalist ideals inherited from the previous generation with individualist ones they identified as necessary to face the new post war reality. Thus, the main goal of this paper is to analyse Corbusier’s design for Berlin and question whether he, at an already mature point of his career, was proposing a plan that answered only the questions that were important to CIAM and to the canonical principles of modern architecture, or if he had also addressed those that belonged to the new generation and Team 10`s agenda, both of them present in the debates of the moment, largely identified as a transitional period. Resumen: Entre varios planes urbanos diseñados para Berlín, esta el proyecto de Le Corbusier para el concurso Hauptstadt Berlín 1958, que tenia como objetivo pensar la reconstrucción del centro de la ciudad, destruida en la II Guerra Mundial. La relación de Corbusier con Berlín se remonta a 1910, cuando llega a la ciudad para trabajar en la oficina de Peter Behrens. Así que, para él, el plan de Berlín fue una rara oportunidad de desarrollar ideas sobre la ciudad que dio una de las mayores enseñanzas a su aprendizaje en diseño urbano, y también para desarrollar las ideas que formuló cuarenta años antes para el centro Paris. Además de eso, este proyecto se ha desarrollado simultáneamente con la crisis y disolución de CIAM, y con la aparición de Team 10. En ese momento, el enfoque universalista de Corbusier comienza a ser cuestionado por la generación joven de CIAM, que tenía enfoque crítico hacia los métodos de diseño heredados de la generación anterior. Desde el principio de los 50`s, esta nueva generación equilibra los ideales universalistas heredados de la generación anterior con los individualistas necesarios para hacer frente a la nueva realidad. Por lo tanto, lo principal objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el diseño de Corbusier para Berlín y cuestionar si, en un punto ya maduro de su carrera, él propone un plan que respondió sólo las cuestiones que eran importantes para CIAM y a los principios canónicos de la arquitectura moderna, o si también se trataron temas que pertenecían a la nueva generación y a la agenda del Team 10, ambos presentes en los debates del momento, en gran parte identificado como un período de transición.

Full textAbstract:
Earlier investigations have indicated that proper prediction of non-linear response due to non-linear waves is important for ship safety in extreme seas. Nonlinearities may increase significantly ship response in steep sea-states. The topic has not been sufficiently investigated yet, particularly when rogue waves are considered. A question remains whether the existing linear codes can predict nonlinear responses with a satisfactory accuracy and how large the deviations from linear predictions are. To indicate it, response statistics have been studied based on the model tests carried out in the Spanish basin CEHIPAR and the sea-keeping tank of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB), and compared with the results derived from numerical simulations using the DNV code WASIM. It is a potential code for wave-ship interaction based on 3D Panel method, which can perform both linear and nonlinear simulations. The numerical simulations with WASIM and the model tests including extreme and rogue waves have been performed on 3 different ship types: Chemical tanker, LNG tanker and a Cruise ship. The analysis includes both regular and irregular waves. Ship motions and bending moments have been studied. The effect of water depth on ship responses is also investigated. The study indicates that nonlinearities may have significant impact on extreme motions and bending moment induced by strongly nonlinear waves. Uncertainties related to the results are also discussed.

Abstract The recent vehicle-ramming terror attacks in Berlin, Barcelona, London and Nice pointed out our vulnerability: all of us could be victims during a walk in our squares or in crowded places, it is sufficient a car, a van or a truck. The current solution to this problem is the application of concrete barriers in our cities. These devices are not good-looking and give a sense of danger to the human beings. But are they effective? Starting from this question, the authors studied the effectiveness of these barriers and developed a new good-looking mobile device. The study was carried out by means of mathematical and numerical models. In particular, a spring-mass system was used in order to macroscopically represent the problem and finite element analyses by explicit calculation in Abaqus were carried out. Also Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method was used in the numerical models. The final shape of the barrier is a planter full of water which is urban furniture and anti-ramming system at the same time. The barrier is made of metal, without foundation and characterized by high friction coefficient between the ground and the barrier itself and a good mass distribution, studied to stop the vehicle in few meters. The high deformability and the ability of the water in the barrier to take away a lot of energy allow to stop a 3500 kg vehicle running at 64 km/h and the system itself in less than four meters as demonstrated by the crash test carried out. As consequence of this crash test, the anti-ramming system is IWA 14-1:2013 and PAS 68:2013 certificated.

Full textAbstract:
The precise knowledge of loads and motions in extreme sea states is indispensable to ensure reliability and survival of ships and floating offshore structures. In the last decades, several accidents in severe weather with disastrous consequences have shown the need for further investigations. Besides the sea state behavior and the local structural loads, one key parameter for safe ship design is the vertical bending moment. Previous investigations revealed that different ship design criteria, such as bow geometry and wave board height, affect the global loads significantly. Investigations in regular waves as well as in single high waves of vessels with different bow flares and freeboard heights show that the vertical bending moment increases significantly with increasing bow flare and freeboard height. Furthermore it became apparent that critical loads and motions do not have to come along with the highest wave which results in the main question of this paper: What is the worst case scenario — the highest rogue wave or a wave group with certain frequency characteristics? Which sea states have to be taken into account for the experimental evaluation of limiting criteria? This paper presents investigations in different critical wave sequences, i.e. two real-sea registrations accompanied by results in regular waves to evaluate the influence of the encountering wave characteristics on the vertical bending moment. For the model tests in the seakeeping basin of the Technical University Berlin a segmented RoRo vessel with large bow flare has been built at a scale of 1:70 and equipped with force transducers. The paper proves that critical loads and motions depend most notably on combinations of wave height, wave group sequences, crest steepness, encountering speed and the ships target position: Even small wave heights with unfavorable wave lengths can cause a critical situation.

Full textAbstract:
The Bering Strait crossing would link the entirety of Eurasia to the entirety of the Americas. There are some immense geopolitical benefits of such project. It would bring about a deep and lasting change to global economic outlook. A possible tunnel under the Bering Strait and extension of the railroad network could open vast areas of Siberia containing mineral deposits necessary for global economic growth. According to a number of respectable Russian geologists, Siberia/the Arctic region is home to considerable amount of minerals and fossil fuels. The most valued function of the Bering Strait rail system would be to release those vast natural resources trapped underneath the tundra and permafrost for the benefit of Russia and the world. These resources can be used for global economic development. Moreover, the rail project would also build development corridors in the underdeveloped parts of Russian Siberia. The development of those resources in question and their rapid transportation to the global markets can contribute to overall development of Siberia. This paper will explore/evaluate the possible benefits of the Bering Strait crossing from Russian perspective and Russia’s new role in the Arctic region, under the frame of geopolitics.

Full textAbstract:
Standard approaches to define loads for a rig start with the righting moment of a yacht at 30 degrees of heel. This is a quite good approach for defining maximum lateral forces of the sails on upwind courses. For downwind courses this procedure may be questioned because the forces from the sails are no longer limited by the righting moment. In this paper the loading for rigs of modern sail yachts in the downwind sailing condition is discussed. A load model based on sail areas and apparent wind speeds for application in FEA is developed. The load model will be evaluated by comparing real size rig measurements performed on the Technical University of Berlins research sailing yacht. DYNA. with a finite element analysis of her rig.

Full textAbstract:
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the Berlin University of Technology has recently introduced a multimedia aeroengine design project under the working title “Project Jet Propulsion”. The seminar, in which the German aeroengine industry is actively involved, is directed at students who have successfully finished their basic engineering training course. The objective of the course is to provide experience of all stages of the complete design process of an engine component in a genuine industrial working environment. The component is selected to ensure that a wide range of design requirements, including customer requirements, aero-thermodynamic and mechanical design, costing and certification, have to be taken into consideration. An experiment supporting the design completes the course. The course is attended by a fixed number of students and lasts for one year. It involves fortnightly working sessions, which are organized the same way as they would be in the industry, with minutes being kept and action lists checked. The students are encouraged to work on their own initiative, identify the necessary tasks and set up a schedule to accomplish the work within the given time limit of the course duration. Industry participates in a variety of ways. At the end of each working session experts from the companies involved join in a telephone conference, giving their comments on the work of the group and answering questions. A video conference supported by one of the industrial partners is also on the agenda. During the course, both companies involved are visited and progress is reviewed in an intermediate and a final design review respectively. No scripts are handed out during the course. Communication is done by e-mail and progress reports, memoranda and minutes of the meetings are made available on the internet.

Full textAbstract:
In spatial, social and cultural pluralism, the questions of human intentionality and socio-spatial emergence remain central to social theory (Portugali 2000, p.142). The correlation between individual preferences, values and intentions, and actual behaviour and actions, is subject to Portugali’s theory of self-organisation (2000). Compared to Gidden’s structuralism, which focuses on society and groups, the point of departure for Portugali (2000) are individuals and their personal choices. The key feature in how complex systems `self-organise', is that they `interpret', the information that comes from the environment (Portugali 2006). The current study explores the urban environment formerly inhabited, and largely constructed, by Jews in two central Polish districts: Mazovia and Lodz, before the tragedy of the Holocaust. While the Jewish presence lasted from the 11th century until the outbreak of World War II, the most intensive development took place in the 19th century, together with the civilisation changes introduced by industrialisation. Embracing the everyday habits of Jewish citizens endows the neighbourhood structures they once inhabited with long gone meanings, the information layer which once helped organise everyday life. The main thesis reveals that Jewish communities in pre-war Poland represented an example of a self-organising society, one which could be considered a prototype of contemporary postmodern cultural complexity. The mapping of this complexity at the scale of a neighbourhood is a challenge, a method for which is addressed in the current paper. The above considerations are in line with the empirical studies of the relations between Jews and Poles, especially in large cities, where more complex socio-cultural processes could have occurred.

In patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, the coagulation disorder requires therapy only when bleeding complications occur. As therapy involves the risk of triggering a consumption coagulopathy, the discussion here examines the beneficial effect of boosting the inhibitor Potential by supplementing the administration of fresh plasma with substitution of AT III concentrate. To investigate this question, we conducted a retrospective study on the clinical course in 19 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy and bleeding complications.The following treatment scheme was employed uniformly in all 19 cases: substitution of vitamin K 20 mg/d, heparin 100 - 300 U/h and fresh plaspna 2-4 bags/d. AT III concentrate (3 - 8 × 500 U/d Ky-bemin HS ) was administered additionally in group 1 (n=8), but was omitted in group 2 (n= 11). Both groups were statistically comparable with regard to initial laboratory findings (e.g. bilirubin, group 1: 11.7 ± 3.6 mg/dl; bilirubin, group 2: 10 ± 2.9 mg/dl) and encephalopathy Tcoma stages 1-2), with the exception of the two survivors in group - who had been in a precomatose stage (stages 0-1) and had bilirubin levels of 3 ± 1.5 mg/dl.A comparison oT both collectives shows a lethality of 62.5 % (n=5) for group 1, and of 81 % (n=9) for group 2. Clinically, the incidence of hemorrhagic complications in group 1 was 61 %, but 100 % in group 2, although laboratory analysis showed no differences in the parameters of systemic coagulation. As regards the other laboratory values, including the transaminases and blood count, there were only differences in the development of the bilirubin values which, in group 1, rose to -3 ± 4 mg/dl only during the terminal phase, but which, in group 2, began to rise continuously from the second day of treatment onwards 2nd reached values of 28 ± 8.6 mg/dl.It follows that, in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and bleeding complications, the administration of AT III concentrate (Ky-bernin HS ) as a supplement to conventional coagulation therapy, increases the survival rate and reduces the incidence of further bleeding. It is, however, not possible tc explain the cause of this effect from the analysis of the laboratory data for the systemic coagulation. Therefore, one may hypothesize that the effect is due to beneficial effect of AT III within microcirculation.

Full textAbstract:
This document presents the energy approach of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics applied to the analysis of a “warm pre-stress” test on a cylinder made of a 17MoV84mod. steel, artificially degraded by special heat treatment to simulate an irradiated end of life RPV material and submitted to a mechanical loading close to a thermal shock transient. This test has been conducted at the MPA of Stuttgart in the context of the European project SMILE. The influence of the hardening representation (isotropic, kinematics, etc.) as well as the choice of the toughness values of the material are analysed. The numerical analysis was performed at EDF-R&D with the Code-Aster, the finite element code of EDF. First of all, we have identified the critical value Gpc of the Gp parameter at the temperature of failure (T = 35°C). Then we have applied the energy approach and compared the results obtained to experimental one’s. Concerning the global values, the agreement between the results of calculation and the experimental results is good if we consider the values of temperature or COD as well as the values of KJ. Concerning the local values, we have observed a rapid decreasing of the opening stress at the notch tip and a significant influence of the hardening on the Von Mises stress. The curves giving the fracture probability as function of KJ are quite relevant to estimate the predictive capacity of the approach used, as well as the importance of the choice of hardening. We have pointed out a 15% variation of KJ depending on this choice. Using tests on CT specimens at room temperature in order to identify the critical value Gpc of the Gp parameter, the value of 77.7 MPa.m1/2 is obtained for KJ if we consider the kinematics case, at 95% of fracture probability. This value is the highest and the nearest to the experimental value equal to 90 MPa.m1/2. It is not a proof that the hardening is completely kinematics but it leads to the question of a more complete identification of the material to know what is the isotropic part and the kinematics part in the hardening. Besides, because the difference between the result obtained with the energy approach and the experimental result is equal to 14% we can conclude to a satisfactory predictive capacity of this approach. The “warm pre-stress” effect, associated with a significant increase of the cleavage fracture toughness at low temperature after a pre-loading at a higher temperature, is clearly predicted by using the energy approach. The comparison between the results obtained with the different approaches used (energy approach, Beremin model, etc.) will be made in another paper. This work is performed in the context of the SMILE European Project.

Blue Mountain is a 35-minute work for two actors and orchestra. It was commissioned by the Ultima Festival, and premiered in 2014 by the Danish National Chamber Orchestra. The Ultima festival challenged me – being both a composer and writer – to make something where I wrote both text and music. Interestingly, I hadn’t really thought of that before, writing text to my own music – or music to my own text. This is a very common thing in popular music, the songwriter. But in the lied, the orchestral piece or indeed in opera, there is a strict division of labour between composer and writer. There are exceptions, most famously Wagner, who did libretto, music and staging for his operas. And 20th century composers like Olivier Messiaen, who wrote his own poems for his music – or Luciano Berio, who made a collage of such detail that it the text arguably became his own in Sinfonia. But this relationship is often a convoluted one, not often discussed in the tradition of musical analysis where text tend to be taken as a given, not subjected to the same rigorous scrutiny that is often the case with music. This exposition is an attempt to unfold this process of composing with both words and music. A key challenge has been to make the text an intrinsic part of the performance situation, and the music something more than mere accompaniment to narration. To render the words meaningless without the music and vice versa. So the question that emerged was how music and words can be not only equal partners, but also yield a new species of music/text? A second questions follows en suite, and that is what challenges the conflation of different roles – the writer and the composer – presents? I will try to address these questions through a discussion of the methods applied in Blue Mountain, the results they have yielded, and the challenges this work has posed.
