    Get PDF
    In seinen theoretischen Schriften beschreibt Dürrenmatt die Welt als undurchschaubar und daher die herkömmlichen Formen des Dramas als nicht länger angebracht. Der Aufsatz konfrontiert Dürrenmatts Skepsis mit Brechts marxistischem Realismus. Während Brecht die Welt als eine Beziehung von Kausalitäten sieht, stellt Dürrenmatt Realität und fiktionale Gegenrealität einander gegenüber. Seine Definition des Grotesken als zentrales Element der Komödie spielt dabei eine entscheidende Rolle. Die Analyse der Ahistorizität der Helden in "Romulus der Große" und deren Art historische Prozesse zu unterwandern etabliert das Groteske als einzig angebrachte Form, die Gegenwart darzustellen.In his theoretical writings Friedrich Dürrenmatt describes the world as opaque and, henceforth, the traditional forms of theater such as the tragedy as inappropriate. The analysis opposes Dürrenmatt´s skepticism to Brecht´s marxist realism. While Brecht views reality as a process of cause and effect, Dürrenmatt juxtaposes reality and fictitious contra-reality. His definition of the grotesque as the central element of comedy calls particular attention. The discussion of the ahistoricity of the heroes in "Romulus der Große" and their way of refuting historical processes establishes the grotesque as the only appropriate form to narrate the present.En sus escritos teóricos, Friedrich Dürrenmatt describe el mundo como opaco y, por lo tanto, las formas tradicionales del drama como inadecuadas para representar el mundo. Este análisis opone el escepticismo de Dürrenmatt al realismo marxista de Brecht. Al contrario de Brecht que percibe la realidad como un proceso de causa y efecto, Dürrenmatt contrapone la realidad a la realidad-ficción. La definición de lo grotesco como elemento central de la comedia merece una atención particular. La ahistoricidad de los héroes en Romulus der Große y sus maneras de refutar la historia establece lo grotesco como la única forma adecuada de narrar el presente

    El padre ausente es una constante en la obra de Elfriede Jelinek. La crítica literaria, afín a la Theaterwissenschaft, argumenta que él ha muerto en un momento de la producción literaria de Jelinek, mientras que la crítica literaria, afín a la Germanistik, suele mantener que el padre sigue vivo. En esta ponencia, se argumentará que el padre sigue vivo, pero no como persona, sino como pars pro toto y como representación ideológica. En vano, se intenta recuperar y superar el cuerpo diseminado y las palabras del padre. Esta tesis se verificará a partir de un análisis detallado de la búsqueda que empuja a las figuras Elfi Electra en Ein Sportstück o Inge y Sylvia en Die Wand (Prinzessinnendramen).The absent father is a constant theme in Elfriede Jelinek’s work. Theaterwissenschaft literary criticism argues that he died at a certain moment in Jelinek’s literary production, while Germanistik literary criticism usually maintains that the father is still alive. This paper argues that the father is still alive, not as a person but as pars pro toto and as an ideological representation. Vain attempts are made to recover the father’s scattered body and his words. This thesis will be tested using a detailed analysis of the search that drives the figures of Elfi Electra in Ein Sportstück and Inge and Sylvia in Die Wand (Prinzessinnendramen)

    Aufarbeitung des Nationalsozialismus in der österreichischen Krankenpflege

    Get PDF
    In der beruflichen Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege begann die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Nationalsozialismus – wie in anderen Berufen auch – erst mit Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts. Bis dahin spielte die Aufarbeitung in der beruflichen Pflege überhaupt keine Rolle und war auch niemals Gegenstand der pflegerischen Ausbildung. Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit stellt eine umfassende Recherche der gesamten Literatur zum Gegenstand dar. Dies soll verdeutlichen, welche Autorinnen und Autoren die Aufarbeitung vorangetrieben haben und in welchem Kontext dies geschah. Im Speziellen werden die Verfasserinnen und Verfasser aus der beruflichen Pflege hervorgehoben. Weiters untersucht die Arbeit, wie im Allgemeinen im Berufsfeld der Krankenpflege mit der Aufarbeitung der NS-Vergangenheit umgegangen wurde. Hier spielen besonders der Österreichische Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegeverband (ÖGKV) und Krankenpflegelehrbücher eine übergeordnete Rolle. Neben der Strukturierung der Literatur, gibt die Arbeit einen Überblick zur Situation der Pflege in den Jahren 1938 bis 1945 und zu ihrer Einbindung in die grausamen Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit. Die verfasste Diplomarbeit kann als eine Art „Nachschlagewerk“ für Interessierte verstanden werden, woraus sich ein Nutzen vor allem auch für jene ergibt, die aus der beruflichen Krankenpflege kommen (Schülerinnen und Schüler, Studierende, Lehrende).In the field of occupational health care and nursing practice the debate about National Socialism – as well as in other professional fields – did not start until the early 21st century. Until then coming to terms with the past in the occupational nursing practice played absolutely no role and was also never a subject in the caregiving education. The present diploma thesis provides a comprehensive research of the entire literature regarding this topic. This should point out which authors pushed coming to terms and in which context this happened. Special emphasis is given to the authors who come from the occupational nursing practice. Furthermore the thesis examines how coming to terms with the National Socialism past was generally handled within the occupational field of nursing. Here especially the “Österreichische Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegeverband“ (ÖGKV) and health care educational books play a major role. In addition to structuring the literature, the thesis provides an overview about the situation of caregiving between 1938 and 1945 and its involvement in the cruel crime against humanity. The composed diploma thesis can be understood as a reference work for people interested in this topic, especially for those who come from the occupational health care (students, teachers)

    The objective of this study was to investigate influence of firm’sintellectual capital on their financial performance and market value. The objects of this paper are manufacturing industries listed at the Indonesian Stock Exchange period 2007 to 2008. By using 41 companies sample using purposive sampling method. This study used simple regression to examinethe influence intellectual capital (Value added intellectual capital (VAIC)) to financial performances and company market value. To examine the influence of three component of intellectual capital (capital employed efficiency(VACA), human capital efficiency (VAHU) and structural capital efficiency (STVA) to financial performances and company market value, this study uses multiple regression. The results showed that only VAHU has significant influence to company market value and only STVA has significant influenceto financial performance

    MONITORING OF JOINT SYSTEMS TIME-LAPSE BEHAVIOUR VIA ERT

    Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) as a tool for monitoring the processes and time-related changes in geological environments has made great progress in recent years and has become standard for observing natural phenomena. This method is simple to use and it often provides high-quality results that are well interpreted. Our research is based on observing time-lapse changes of the physical parameters (conductivity, for instance) of joints systems (mostly in crystalline massifs). The primary aim is to develop a monitoring system mostly for the needs of deep repositories of nuclear waste. Geophysical research of such repositories has so far dealt only with one-off research (no time-monitoring) of potential host rock´s properties. Contrary to this, our developed system and methodology is unique in continuously measuring the physical properties (in this case, electrical resistivity) of the rock massif. This system will be permanently fixed in the field and by observing changes in measured data reports if any remarkable occurrence in the EDZ zone is or was happening (for example, opening or closing of the joints or microfractures). Today, our monitoring system is being developed and tested at the field base in Bedrichov (northern Bohemia). The Bedrichov gallery is approximately 2.5 km long and continuously leads through one type of granite massif. Point 792, where a significant geological fracture zone goes through, was chosen as an ideal place for taking repeated measurements via our ERT system. Currently, we test the measurement quality, such as whether our system provides real data and is able to reliably observe resistivity changes measured at ERT profiles

    The declining occurrence of moose (Alces alces) at the southernmost edge of its range raise conservation concerns

    The border region between Austria, the Czech Republic, and Germany harbors the most south-western occurrence of moose in continental Europe. The population originated in Poland, where moose survived, immigrated from former Soviet Union or were reintroduced after the Second World War expanded west and southwards. In recent years, the distribution of the nonetheless small Central European population seems to have declined, necessitating an evaluation of its current status. In this study, existing datasets of moose observations from 1958 to 2019 collected in the three countries were combined to create a database totaling 771 records (observations and deaths). The database was then used to analyze the following: (a) changes in moose distribution, (b) the most important mortality factors, and (c) the availability of suitable habitat as determined using a maximum entropy approach. The results showed a progressive increase in the number of moose observations after 1958, with peaks in the 1990s and around 2010, followed by a relatively steep drop after 2013. Mortality within the moose population was mostly due to human interactions, including 13 deadly wildlife-vehicle collisions, particularly on minor roads, and four animals that were either legally culled or poached. Our habitat model suggested that higher altitudes (ca. 700–1,000 m a.s.l.), especially those offering wetlands, broad- leaved forests and natural grasslands, are the preferred habitats of moose whereas steep slopes and areas of human activity are avoided. The habitat model also revealed the availability of large core areas of suitable habitat beyond the current distribution, suggesting that habitat was not the limiting factor explaining the moose distribution in the study area. Our findings call for immediate transboundary conservation measures to sustain the moose population, such as those aimed at preventing wildlife-vehicle collisions and illegal killings. Infrastructure planning and development activities must take into account the habitat requirements of moose.publishedVersio
