Journal articles on the topic 'Marinus van der Lubbe'

Vorspann Der Reichstagsbrand erregt noch immer die Gemüter. War mit Marinus van der Lubbe nur ein Täter am Werk, oder wurde das Feuer von mehreren Brandstiftern gelegt? Bei der Klärung dieser Fragen spielt der Faktor Zeit eine entscheidende Rolle. Wie viele Minuten vergingen zwischen dem Einbruch in den Reichstag und dem Zeitpunkt, an dem er plötzlich in hellen Flammen stand? Waren es deutlich mehr als ursprünglich angenommen, wie Alfred Berndt 1975 in den Vierteljahrsheften betonte, wodurch die Alleintäterschaft van der Lubbes neue Plausibilität gewann? Oder hat Hersch Fischler Recht, der von einer deutlich kürzeren Zeitspanne ausgeht und damit die Vermutung nahelegt, dass es sich um mehrere Täter gehandelt haben muss?

AbstractFor more than eighty years there has been controversy about who set the fire that destroyed the plenary chamber of the Reichstag fire on the evening of February 27, 1933—thereby handing the Nazis a pretext to gut the democratic Weimar constitution through the emergency “Reichstag Fire Decree.” Since the 1960s there has been a consensus among historians that the fire was set by Marinus van der Lubbe, a twenty-four-year-old Dutch journeyman stonemason supposedly acting alone—with no Nazi involvement. Few historians, however, have been inclined to investigate the motives behind the development of this single-culprit narrative, or the reasons for its generally positive reception among postwar German historians. With the aid of newly discovered sources, this article examines the legal and political interests that have underpinned this narrative. The single-culprit narrative was developed by ex-Nazis, whereas accounts of the Reichstag fire stressing Nazi complicity came almost invariably from former resistance fighters and victims of Nazism. Postwar historians responded to these accounts in much the same way they have responded to perpetrator and victim accounts of the Holocaust: with a markedly greater preference for those of the perpetrators. This tendency has shaped the debate over the Reichstag fire in the same way it has shaped other areas of research on the Third Reich.

Abstract In dit artikel bespreekt Tuur Marinus de verschillende verschijningsvormen van het unisono in dans. Van affirmatief tot reflexief, van caleidoscopisch tot activistisch: het unisono blijkt vele gedaantes te kennen. De relatie tot machtsstructuren en choreografisch auteurschap staat daarbij centraal. Het gelijktijdig uitvoeren van dezelfde bewegingen wordt politiek wanneer het dominante opvattingen over dans en collectiviteit bevestigt dan wel ondermijnt. Tegen deze achtergrond bespreekt Tuur Marinus zijn choreografisch onderzoek naar de politieke slagkracht van het unisono als assemblage en oxymoron.

Abstract A field experiment on the effect of seismic shooting on the lesser sandeel (Ammodytes marinus) was conducted on the fishing grounds in the southeastern part of the North Sea in May 2002. Sandeel buried in the sand at night were trapped in steel frame cages (2.0 × 1.8 × 2.0 m) deployed in positions with high abundance of fish located by a van Veen grab. In an experimental area, three sandeel cages were exposed to full-scale seismic shooting for about 2.5 d. Cameras in the cage and on a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) were used to monitor the activity of the enclosed fish. A control area about 35 km southeast of the seismic shooting area was established with two sandeel cages. The distribution and abundance of the lesser sandeel during daytime in the experimental region were regularly monitored by acoustic surveying, but the present methodology could not demonstrate that seismic shooting caused any change in sandeel abundance. Repeated grab surveys were conducted using a van Veen grab for a predetermined set of localities almost every night during the experimental period, both prior to and after seismic shooting. The results indicate that the seismic shooting had a moderate effect on the behaviour of the lesser sandeel. We did not observe any immediate lethal effect, neither from the cage experiments nor from the grab samples. The total mortality in the cages of about 35% on average, both in the experimental group and the control group, was probably a result of injuries during deployment, due to handling and confinement. Analyses of landing data from the Norwegian sandeel trawlers show a temporary drop in the sandeel landings for a short period after the seismic experiment.

AbstractJacob Backer signed and dated (1640) a history piece that until now was entitled David and Bathsheba and is located in Tokyo. The image however, lacks the traditional iconographical motifs from which we can recognize this old biblical story. In this article I propose that the painting is a portrait historié of the wealthy Amsterdam couple Marinus Lowysse and Eva Ment represented as Isaac and Rebecca. Backer modelled his biblical love couple after Rafael's fresco Isaac and Rebecca spied upon by Abemelich in the Vatican. Backer must have known that image from Sisto Badalocchio's print of 1607 in Historia del Testamento Vecchio - this collection of fifty prints was reprinted in Amsterdam in 1638. The identification as Isaac and Rebecca does not show at first sight in the present painting. Therefore, we have to take in consideration that the current image is heavily over painted and the canvas is reduced by almost 65 %. Fortunately a drawing in Braunschweig – that was convincingly attributed by Peter van den Brink as a modello by Backer - offers a clear idea of the monumental standing format of the original painting and it's explicit erotic content. This is particular notable in the slung-leg motif that contemporaries undoubtedly would have recognized as the act of making love. The erotic allusions, the rare subject, and the unusual huge standing format are indicative of a commission. The identification of the commissioners derives from the striking likeness, in features and clothing, that the man in the Tokyo painting shows with the portrait of Marinus Lowysse, that he – as we know - commissioned from Backer in the same year of 1640, a Portrait historié of Marinus Lowysse en Eva Ment, with their children, presenting the history of Christ and the Canaanite Woman, now in Middelburg. Recently an unknown painting of Backer turned up at the art market, which is very likely another portrait of Marinus Lowysse; apparently he was an important client of Backer.

Action potential simulation therapy (APS) is mostly used for the relief of pain in a variety of conditions. However, the APS user’s guide (Lubbe & Van Zyl, 1997) also lays claim to an effect of increased blood flow which has not yet been supported by published scientific research. The above study was carried out to determine whether APS has an effect on the blood supply of the area under treatment. Ten voluntary, healthy men were used as experimental subjects. Factors that could affect their blood flow and that served as exclusion criteria, could not be found. Blood flow was normalised by a resting period of 30 minutes before application. A radioactive substance (99m Tc-sestamibi) was injected intravenously. The blood flow baseline was determined by means of tomographic studies on a gamma camera. A standard application of APS was administered for 16 minutes at 2mA. Blood flow was determined immediately after this. Two further measurements with an interval of 15 minutes were taken thereafter. Although associated non-parametric confidence intervals for the median difference in blood flow from baseline was not statistically or clinically significant, the blood flow of 8 experimental subjects increased after 41 minutes of administration, while it decreased in only 2 experimental subjects. After the ensuing 15 minutes (thus at 56 minutes) the blood flow of 6 experimental subjects increased and that of 4 decreased. It can therefore not be stated with certainty that APS increases blood flow in the area under treatment.

Many field observations have been made on predation by a variety of fish species on the demersally spawned eggs of the Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus L.) (Dunn, 1898; Bowman, 1922; Hempel & Hempel, 1971; Toresen, 1985). Field observations on the predation of herring larvae by fish are comparatively rare although jellyfish medusae have been identified as larval predators (Van der Veer et al, 1983; Moller, 1984). Recently several experiments have been carried out on the predation of medusae and other planktonic organisms (Bailey & Batty, 1983) and of fish on herring larvae (Christensen, 1983; Fuiman & Gamble, 1987). Despite the lack of field observations Hunter (1984) considered that predation, most probably by fish, was the major cause of mortality in fish larvae.

Las escuelas construidas por Dudok en Hilversum en el periodo de entreguerras forman un conjunto considerado de referencia dentro de la arquitectura escolar. Además de permitir apreciar la evolución estilística de Dudok durante esos años, su interés estriba en el carácter de monumentos civiles e hitos urbanos con que fueron concebidas. De reducidas dimensiones y con un limitado número de aulas, cada escuela fue diseñada de forma diferente, como un claro elemento de reconocimiento de cada barrio. Su variedad de formas se adaptó también psicológicamente a las diferentes edades de los alumnos. En el artículo se pasa revista ordenadamente y de forma crítica a todo el conjunto y se comentan las relaciones e influencias con los movimientos coetánes de renovación escolar, especialmente en Alemania. Abstract The schools build by Dudok in Hilversum in the periode between the two World Wars form a serie considered as a reference within the educational architecture. Their interest rely no only in that they show the stylistic evolution of Dudok in that years but also in the character as civil monuments and urban milestones which they were conceived. Reduced in their dimensions and with only a small number of classrooms, each school had a different design becoming in this way a recogntion element in his neighbourhood. The variety of forms was also psycologicaly addapted to the age of the children. The article is a translation from Dutch to Spanish of the chapter “De school als architectonische en stedebouwkundige opgave” in the book Willem Marinus Dudok. Architect-stedebouwkundige 1884-1974, by Herman van Bergeijk, and offers a critic overview of the whole group of schools. Also includes information on the relationships and influences received from the contemporary movements of school reform, especially those initiated in Germany.

Abstract Lynam, C. P., Halliday, N. C., Höffle, H., Wright, P. J., van Damme, C. J. G., Edwards, M., and Pitois, S. 2013. Spatial patterns and trends in abundance of larval sandeels in the North Sea: 1950–2005 – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 70: 540–553. Early recruitment indices based on larval fish data from the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) have the potential to inform stock assessments of Ammodytes marinus in the North Sea. We evaluate whether the CPR data are reliable for sandeel larvae. Spatially, CPR larval data were comparable with catches by dedicated larval samplers (Gulf and bongo nets) during ICES coordinated surveys in 2004 and 2009. ICES data are also used to explore environmental influences on sandeel distributions. Temporally, CPR data correlate with larval data from plankton surveys off Stonehaven (1999–2005), with sandeel 0-group trawl data at the east Fair Isle ground (since 1984), and with recruitment data (since 1983) for the Dogger Banks stock assessment area. Therefore, CPR data may provide an early recruit index of relative abundance for the Dogger Banks assessment area, where the majority of the commercial catch of A. marinus is taken, and the Wee Bankie area that is particularly important for seabird foraging. While warm conditions may stimulate the production of sandeel larvae, their natural mortality is typically greater, in the Dogger Banks and Wadden Sea areas, when the larvae are hatched in warm years and/or with abundant 1-year-old sandeel that are likely to be cannibalistic.

After Jacobus Henricus van't Hoff had passed away on 1 March 1911, his pupil Charles Marinus van Deventer (1860–1931) wrote a very personal ‘in memoriam’ in the Dutch literary periodical De Gids, pointing out that van't Hoff had merely been interested in scientific facts, not in the people discovering these facts. Van't Hoff considered the study of the history of chemistry, although by no means uncongenial, a matter of little importance. He once even said: ‘To me historical research appears to be appropriate for a chemist in the decline of life, when he no longer creates professional ideas, and when the laboratory has become a burden to him’. Although van Deventer had studied physical chemistry at van't Hoff's Amsterdam laboratory and had been his assistant from 1885 until 1893, he disagreed with this verdict. Van Deventer was not only a capable physical chemist, he was also an active member of the Tachtigers, a circle of Dutch poets who around 1880 brought about a renewal in Dutch literature. He took a special interest in Greek philosophy. He did not graduate with van't Hoff, but with his colleague Jan Willem Gunning (1827–1900). His thesis was not based on physical-chemical, but on historical research: Schetsen uit de Geschiedenis van de Scheikunde (‘Sketches from the history of chemistry’; 13 December 1884). From 1922 to 1923 he lectured on the history of chemistry at Utrecht University. His fascinating lectures were published as Grepen uit de Historie der Chemie (‘Choices from the history of chemistry’; 1924). This work reveals his particular interest in the development of chemical concepts.

Abstract van Deurs, M., Koski, M., and Rindorf, A. Does copepod size determine food consumption of particulate feeding fish? – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 71: . The climate-induced reduction in the mean copepod size, mainly driven by a decrease in the abundance of the large Calanus finmarchicus around 1987, has been linked to the low survival of fish larvae in the North Sea. However, to what extent this sort of reduction in copepod size has any influence on adult particulate feeding fish is unknown. In the present study, we investigated the hypothesis that the availability of the large copepods determines food consumption and growth conditions of lesser sandeel (Ammodytes marinus) in the North Sea. Analysis of stomach content suggested that food consumption is higher for fish feeding on large copepods, and additional calculations revealed how handling time limitation may provide part of the explanation for this relationship. Comparing stomach data and zooplankton samples indicated that lesser sandeel actively target large copepods when these are available. Finally, we observed that the length of lesser sandeel began to decrease in the late 1980s, simultaneously with the C. finmarchicus decline.

Summary This contribution studies the cessio bonorum of painter Rembrandt van Rhijn in relation to the relevant rules and institutions of Amsterdam. I would first and foremost like to thank professor Eddy Put (KU Leuven), for repeatedly reading my drafts and providing me plenty of useful references and advice. Gerrit Vanden Bosch, Marie-Juliette Marinus, and Jos Van den Nieuwenhuizen kindly answered my many questions, and, needless to say, all the possible flaws are on my own responsibility. In conducting this research, I was supported by the Hitotsubashi University Foundation (Japan). In the Rembrandt case the procedural rules on the cessio bonorum were followed to a large extend. In regard to the beweysinge, a few weeks before the application for the cessio, it seems more convincing that it should be interpreted as a promise than as a conveyance of the house he owned. This new perspective on the beweysinge, however, does not alter the fact that it seems likely that there was a conflict between the Orphans Chamber (serving the interests of Titus) and the Insolvency Chamber (serving the interests of the creditors, and among them especially the former burgomaster Cornelis Witsen). Arguments for this are derived from: 1) the new bylaw issued by the Orphans Chamber shortly after Rembrandt’s application for the cessio, 2) the appointment of the renowned lawyer Louis Crayers as guardian of Titus (instead of Jan Verwout), and 3) the position of Titus’ preferential claim in the concursus creditorum. Crenshaw has stated that this conflict was decided by the personal influence of Cornelis Witsen. This contribution defends that Witsen only could enforce the sale of the house because of the institutional and political power structures within the city government. Witsen belonged to the powerful reigning faction of Cornelis de Graeff, whereas the majority of the officials in the Orphans Chamber belonged to the ‘political opposition’. In the end it was especially Witsen who profited from the sale (at the expense of Titus).

The question this contribution sets out to address is whether or not law can be regarded as a science. This notion is readily accepted by many, yet it is submitted that a proper theoretical justification for such an assumption is usually missing. The traditional primary sources of law, South African case law and legislation, distinguish between legal practice and legal science, but the basis of the distinction is not clear. However, an entire body of literature in the philosophy of science has developed around the question of when a discipline will amount to science. Various demarcation criteria proposed in the philosophy of science are considered. These include that science uses the scientific method, is susceptible to falsification, is puzzle-solving within a paradigm or renders beneficial results. None of these criteria offers a satisfactory solution to the problem. The proposition by a group of philosophers including Herman Dooyeweerd, Marinus Stafleu and DFM Strauss, that the answer to the demarcation question is to be found in modal abstraction, is then considered. Modal abstraction amounts to a consideration of reality (persons, things, theories and rules) from one or more defined point(s) of entry. It is an artificial and learnt manner of thinking as it approaches reality from the perspective of one of the modalities of being. For example, juridical abstraction would mean that a cow is considered as the object of someone's proprietary rights. An abstract idea of the cow's characteristics, from a juridical point of view, is formed and the rules of property law are applied. A number of South African legal philosophers, amongst others Van Zyl, Van der Vyver and LM du Plessis, have followed this approach. The South African legislature has also attempted to define the terms "science" and "research", mainly for funding purposes. These definitions are considered and the conclusion is that they do not provide the clear-cut answers one would expect. It will be argued that the nature of activities will determine whether an endeavour is scientific or not. The conclusion is that an alignment of the demarcation criterion developed by Strauss and others and the statutory definitions can provide a workable demarcation criterion. This "test" is then applied to the activities of law students, academics, practitioners and judicial officers to determine when they will be practising "science".
