"Die Einflußnahme der staatlichen Leitung und der FDJ auf die Durchführung des Jugendgesetzes": Jugendgesetz-Studie ; Schnellinformation

Die vorliegende "Schnellinformation" behandelt 3 Problemkreise: 1. "Ansprüche und Erwartungen junger Werktätiger an die staatlichen Leitungen bei der Verwirklichung des Jugendgesetzes". Hierzu wird festgestellt: Die befragten jungen Leute wollen vor allem über ihre demokratischen Rechte und Pflichten informiert werden, gemeinsam mit staatlichen Leitern den Jugendförderungsplan gründlich diskutieren sowie konkrete Unterstützung der Tätigkeit der FDJ-Leitungen durch die staatlichen Leiter. Diese Erwartungen sieht nur eine Minderheit als gut erfüllt an. 2. "Erfahrungen in der Arbeit mit jungen Werktätigen im Betrieb". Hierzu heißt es: "Die Arbeit mit Jugendlichen kann nur so gut sein, wie sie bei ihnen spürbar wird. Es sollten verstärkt Formen gesucht werden, die es ermöglichen, jedem einzelnen sozialistische Demokratie im Betrieb erlebbar zu machen." Jugendpolitische Aktivitäten der staatlichen Leiter werden von diesen positiver bewertet als von den Jugendlichen. 3. "Das Friedensaufgebot der FDJ in der staatlichen Leitungstätigkeit". Dazu wird gesagt: "Eine stärkere Akzentuierung der ideologisch-persönlichkeitsfördernden Bedeutung der Teilnahme am Friedensaufgebot der FDJ ist notwendig, da es sich nicht bloß um eine der ökonomischen Initiativen dieser Organisation handelt".

Bedingungen und Methoden zur Erhöhung der Leistungsbereitschaft junger Werktätiger im Prozeß der Meisterung des wissenschaftlich-technischen Fortschritts: (Komplexstudie 84 "Leistung") ; Schnellinformation

1984 wurden 3500 junge Werktätige in der DDR befragt zu folgenden Themen: Leistungsbereitschaft und Leistungsverhalten im Arbeitsprozeß; Zusammenhang zwischen Leistung und Einstellung zum "wissenschaftlich-technischen Schöpfertum"; politische Organisiertheit, insbesondere in der FDJ; Grad der Informiertheit über die wirtschaftlichen Programme und Zielstellungen der SED. Nur 36 Prozent sind der Auffassung, über den wissenschaftlich-technischen "Höchststand" auf ihrem Arbeitsgebiet gut und umfassend informiert zu sein. Relativ gering ist auch das Interesse an Jugendforschungskollektiven. (psz

Research in Monumental Constructions in Antiquity

Ancient civilizations have passed down to us a vast range of monumental structures. Monumentality is a complex phenomenon that we address here as ‘XXL’. It encompasses a large range of different aspects, such as sophisticated technical and logistical skills and the vast economic resources required. This contribution takes a closer look at the special interdependence of space and knowledge represented by such XXL projects. We develop a set of objective criteria for determining whether an object qualifies as ‘XXL’, in order to permit a broadly framed study comparing manifestations of the XXL phenomenon in different cultures and describing the functional and conceptional role of the phenomenon in antiquity. Finally, we illustrate how these criteria are being applied in the study of large construction projects in ancient civilizations through six case studies

Differential cross section measurements for the production of a W boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV

Measurements are reported of differential cross sections for the production of a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, in association with jets, as a function of several variables, including the transverse momenta (pT) and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta (HT), and the difference in azimuthal angle between the directions of each jet and the muon. The data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb[superscript −1]. The measured cross sections are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo generators, MadGraph + pythia and sherpa, and to next-to-leading-order calculations from BlackHat + sherpa. The differential cross sections are found to be in agreement with the predictions, apart from the pT distributions of the leading jets at high pT values, the distributions of the HT at high-HT and low jet multiplicity, and the distribution of the difference in azimuthal angle between the leading jet and the muon at low values.United States.

Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI

Search for stop and higgsino production using diphoton Higgs boson decays

Results are presented of a search for a "natural" supersymmetry scenario with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. It is assumed that only the supersymmetric partners of the top-quark (stop) and the Higgs boson (higgsino) are accessible. Events are examined in which there are two photons forming a Higgs boson candidate, and at least two b-quark jets. In 19.7 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded in the CMS experiment, no evidence of a signal is found and lower limits at the 95% confidence level are set, excluding the stop mass below 360 to 410 GeV, depending on the higgsino mass

Impacts of the Tropical Pacific/Indian Oceans on the Seasonal Cycle of the West African Monsoon

The current consensus is that drought has developed in the Sahel during the second half of the twentieth century as a result of remote effects of oceanic anomalies amplified by local land–atmosphere interactions. This paper focuses on the impacts of oceanic anomalies upon West African climate and specifically aims to identify those from SST anomalies in the Pacific/Indian Oceans during spring and summer seasons, when they were significant. Idealized sensitivity experiments are performed with four atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs). The prescribed SST patterns used in the AGCMs are based on the leading mode of covariability between SST anomalies over the Pacific/Indian Oceans and summer rainfall over West Africa. The results show that such oceanic anomalies in the Pacific/Indian Ocean lead to a northward shift of an anomalous dry belt from the Gulf of Guinea to the Sahel as the season advances. In the Sahel, the magnitude of rainfall anomalies is comparable to that obtained by other authors using SST anomalies confined to the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean. The mechanism connecting the Pacific/Indian SST anomalies with West African rainfall has a strong seasonal cycle. In spring (May and June), anomalous subsidence develops over both the Maritime Continent and the equatorial Atlantic in response to the enhanced equatorial heating. Precipitation increases over continental West Africa in association with stronger zonal convergence of moisture. In addition, precipitation decreases over the Gulf of Guinea. During the monsoon peak (July and August), the SST anomalies move westward over the equatorial Pacific and the two regions where subsidence occurred earlier in the seasons merge over West Africa. The monsoon weakens and rainfall decreases over the Sahel, especially in August.Peer reviewe
