Terrence Malicks Spielfilmdebüt Badlands und die Musik von Carl Orff : Interferenzen visueller und klanglicher Materialität und ihre signifikative Funktion im Film
Als Terrence Malicks Kinodebüt BADLANDS im Oktober 1973 Premiere auf dem New Yorker Filmfest feierte, saß auch Vincent Canby, Kritiker der New York Times, im Kinosaal. Canby schrieb eine überaus positive Rezension über dieses Drama um ein junges Paar auf der Flucht (1973/1). Wenige Tage später war BADLANDS für ihn „The Movie that Made the Festival Memorable“ – so die Überschrift seines abschließenden Festivalberichts (1973/2). Doch über die in dem Film verwendete Musik verlor er kein Wort. Pauline Kael, Kritikerin des New Yorker, erwähnte die Musik in ihrer Rezension des Films zum US-Kinostart wenige Monate später nur am Rande (vgl. Kael 1974). Und auch in einem Interview, das Michel Ciment, Herausgeber des französischen Filmmagazins Positif, im März 1975 in Los Angeles mit Malick führte, wird nur kurz auf die musikalische Ebene eingegangen (1975, 32). Dabei ist der Soundtrack eine ganz zentrale Dimension dieses Films. Umso dringlicher erscheint es, BADLANDS mit Blick auf die Musik genauer zu untersuchen

Economic Reform and Integration Proceedings of the Second International Varna Seminar "On the Way to Convertibility in Central and Eastern European Countries", September 30 - October 3, 1990
These papers were presented at the Second International Varna Seminar organized within the activities of the Economic Reform and Integration (ERI) Project. Fifty-three participants from West and East exchanged experiences and identified prospects for a further integration of this part of Europe into the world economy. It was concluded that national efforts and international support in introducing early convertibility would have to proceed hand in hand
Economic Reform and Integration. Proceedings of 1-3 March 1990 Meeting
The general aim of the IIASA Project on "Economic Reform and Integration" (ERI) can be formulated as establishing bridges between eastern and western economic theory and practice, creating conditions for mutually assimilating successful managerial experience, and for possible rapprochement of economic systems.
This volume contains major contributions by Soviet scientists, together with comments by western experts offered during the 1-3 March 1990 ERI Meeting. We believe that this material is of wide and timely interest and may also serve as a reference document for later studies once the time has come to penetrate scientifically the very fast changes we are witnessing today in central and eastern Europe
Executive Guide for East-West Joint Ventures
This Executive Guide is designed to provide useful answers to business executive's basic and most essential questions on East-West joint ventures. The Guide is a result of work by the international network of the Management of Technological Change (MTC) Project at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). The answers elucidate legislative practices based on the most recent documentation, as well as administrative practices should they differ. Provisions for each country were examined and approved by the respective chamber of commerce or competent national agency
Administration of Tramadol or Buprenorphine via the drinking water for post-operative analgesia in a mouse-osteotomy model
Adequate analgesia is essential whenever pain might occur in animal experiments. Unfortunately, the selection of suitable analgesics for mice in bone-linked models is limited. Here, we evaluated two analgesics - Tramadol [0.1 mg/ml (Tlow) vs. 1 mg/ml (Thigh)] and Buprenorphine (Bup; 0.009 mg/ml) - after a pre-surgical injection of Buprenorphine, in a mouse-osteotomy model. The aim of this study was to verify the efficacy of these opioids in alleviating pain-related behaviors, to provide evidence for adequate dosages and to examine potential side effects. High concentrations of Tramadol affected water intake, drinking frequency, food intake and body weight negatively in the first 2-3 days post-osteotomy, while home cage activity was comparable between all groups. General wellbeing parameters were strongly influenced by anesthesia and analgesics. Model-specific pain parameters did not indicate more effective pain relief at high concentrations of Tramadol. In addition, ex vivo high-resolution micro computed tomography (µCT) analysis and histology analyzing bone healing outcomes showed no differences between analgesic groups with respect to newly formed mineralized bone, cartilage and vessels. Our results show that high concentrations of Tramadol do not improve pain relief compared to low dosage Tramadol and Buprenorphine, but rather negatively affect animal wellbeing
