A Crisis of Marriage? The Debate on Marriage Reform in the Social Democratic Women’s Press, 1919-1933

Article 119 of the new constitution of the Weimar Republic established marriage as the foundation of family life and placed it under special protection of the constitution. Although women were also guaranteed equal political rights under the new constitution, their civil rights remained regulated by the Civil Code of 1900. Representatives of the women's movement had criticized the Civil Code since its implementation. Following women's experiences of increased independence during the First World War and their changed economic, social, and political circumstances in Weimar Germany, even more women's groups demanded a reform of marriage and family law. This thesis explores the discourses surrounding marriage reform in the Social Democratic women's press of the Weimar Republic. It reveals that they neither agreed on the causes of the perceived crisis of marriage, nor on the necessary measures for a marriage reform. This diversity of thought reflects not only the process of renegotiating gendered marital roles within the quickly changing political, social, economic and cultural circumstances of the Weimar Republic, but it also illuminates Social Democratic women's political activism. Taken together, these discourses shed light on the complicated process of redesigning marriage in shifting social circumstances.Master of Art

Cooperative business-NGO partnerships in Hong Kong: NGO perspective

Because of their high temperature capability, strength and erosion resistance, chemical vapor deposited (CVD) beta silicon carbide coatings are of interest in tribological and protective applications. The silicon carbide is formed by a reaction between a silicon halide, such as SiCl4 and a carbon source, such as CH4

Ultrasonography in the preoperative staging of carcinoma of the breast

About 1 year after surgery to repair the rotator cuff, a total of 20 patients (80% monotendinous injuries, 20% bitendinous injuries) were submitted to ultrasound and MRI to evaluate repair, quality of residual tissue, and to reveal any discrepancies between the two instrumental tests. The results showed that there was normal tendinous integrity in 16 cases (group A), while there were partial injuries, without evidence of complete lesion, in 4 cases (group B); tendinous thinning was evident in 10 patients (50%), while there were areas of intratendinous degeneration in 40% of the cases. The authors observed agreement between the data obtained by the two methods in 75% of cases, and emphasize the effectiveness of the two methods in postoperative evaluation of the cuff; they also confirm the tendinous dishomogeneousness observed in the patients in group B, not associated with poor clinical results, considering the absence of significant differences in the functional results between the two groups

SPECT with 99m-TC HM PAO in the study of classical hemicrania

Five patients presenting with migraine attacks underwent Electroencephalography (EEC), Computed Tomography (CT) and Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT) with 99mTc-HM PAO. EEG and SPECT were subsequently repeated in the intercritical period. We observed that: two patients only showed non-specific abnormalities in EEG; scans were normal in all patients; all subjects exhibited diffuse cortical hypoperfusion. A strong correlation was always found between clinical presentation and hemispheric impairment. One patient exhibited asymmetrical perfusion between cerebellum hemispheres; intercritical SPECT showed homogeneous distribution of the radio-tracer in four patients. In the last one minimal residual hypoperfusion was observed, although less marked than in the acute phase. Therefore SPECT with 99mTc-HM PAO can be reasonably employed as the examination of choice when a migraine attack is clinically suspected, because of its reproducibility and reliability. It can be easily performed in every nuclear medical center supplied with modern tomographic gamma-cameras
