With the demand of offering the best potential of all systems, several not matching systems including their functions have to be aggregated and offered in a useable way. This paper presents an adaptive, generalizable and self-organized Personal Learning Environment (PLE) framework with the potential to integrate several heterogeneous services using a service-oriented architecture. First, a general overview over the field is given, followed by the description of the core components of the PLE framework. A prototypical implementation is presented. Finally, it's shown how the PLE framework can be dynamically adapted to a changing system environment, reflecting experiences from first user studies.}, language = {en} } @incollection{KiyGessnerLuckeetal.2015, author = {Kiy, Alexander and Geßner, Hendrik and Lucke, Ulrike and Gr{\"u}newald, Franka}, title = {A Hybrid and Modular Framework for Mobile Campus Applications}, series = {i-com}, volume = {2015}, booktitle = {i-com}, number = {14}, publisher = {de Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {2196-6826}, doi = {10.1515/icom-2015-0016}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {63 -- 73}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Mobile devices and associated applications (apps) are an indispensable part of daily life and provide access to important information anytime and anywhere.

This article introduces a mobile campus app framework, which integrates central campus services and decentralized learning applications. An analysis of strengths and weaknesses of different approaches is presented to summarize and evaluate them in terms of requirements, development, maintenance and operation.

More and more ICT components, systems and tools occur and have to be integrated into the existing processes and infrastructure of the institutions. These tasks include the transfer of resources and information across multiple ICT systems. By using so-called virtual environments for domains of re-search, education, learning and work, the performance of daily tasks can be aided. Based on a user requirement analysis different short- and long-term objectives were identified and are tackled now in the context of a federal research project. In order to be prepared for the ongoing digitalization, new systems have to be provided. Both, a service-oriented infrastructure and a related web-based virtual learning environment constitute the platform Campus.UP and creates the necessary basis to be ready for future challenges. The current focus lies on e-portfolio work, hence we will present a related focus group evaluation. The results indicate a tremendous need to extend the possibilities of sharing resources across system boundaries, in order to enable a comfortable participation of exter-nal cooperating parties and to clarify the focus of each connected system. The introduction of such an infrastructure implies far-reaching changes for traditional data centers. Therefore, the challenges and risks of faculty conducting innovation projects for the ICT organization are taken as a starting point to stimulate a discussion, how data centers can utilize projects to be ready for the future needs. We are confident that Campus.UP will provide the basis for ensuring the persistent transfer of innovation to the ICT organization and thus will contribute to tackle the future challenges of digitalization.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Tzoref2018, author = {Tzoref, Shani}, title = {Mourning for and by Sarah (i.e., Genesis 23-24: Analysis) of Biblical Receptions in Light of Contemporary Bereavement Research}, series = {Vom Umgang mit Verlust und Trauer im Judentum : Loss and mourning in the Jewish tradition}, booktitle = {Vom Umgang mit Verlust und Trauer im Judentum : Loss and mourning in the Jewish tradition}, publisher = {Hentrich und Hentrich Verlag Berlin}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-95565-247-0}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {232 -- 266}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @incollection{Hassler2018, author = {Haßler, Gerda}, title = {History of european vernacular grammar writing}, series = {Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Linguistics}, booktitle = {Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Linguistics}, editor = {Aronoff, Mark and Abbi, Anvita}, publisher = {Oxford University}, address = {New York}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The grammatization of European vernacular languages began in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance and continued up until the end of the 18th century. Through this process, grammars were written for the vernaculars and, as a result, the vernaculars were able to establish themselves in important areas of communication. Vernacular grammars largely followed the example of those written for Latin, using Latin descriptive categories without fully adapting them to the vernaculars. In accord with the Greco-Latin tradition, the grammars typically contain sections on orthography, prosody, morphology, and syntax, with the most space devoted to the treatment of word classes in the section on "etymology." The earliest grammars of vernaculars had two main goals: on the one hand, making the languages described accessible to non-native speakers, and on the other, supporting the learning of Latin grammar by teaching the grammar of speakers' native languages. Initially, it was considered unnecessary to engage with the grammar of native languages for their own sake, since they were thought to be acquired spontaneously. Only gradually did a need for normative grammars develop which sought to codify languages. This development relied on an awareness of the value of vernaculars that attributed a certain degree of perfection to them. Grammars of indigenous languages in colonized areas were based on those of European languages and today offer information about the early state of those languages, and are indeed sometimes the only sources for now extinct languages. Grammars of vernaculars came into being in the contrasting contexts of general grammar and the grammars of individual languages, between grammar as science and as art and between description and standardization. In the standardization of languages, the guiding principle could either be that of anomaly, which took a particular variety of a language as the basis of the description, or that of analogy, which permitted interventions into a language aimed at making it more uniform.}, language = {en} } @incollection{HoehneFuhrHickmannetal.2018, author = {H{\"o}hne, Chris and Fuhr, Harald and Hickmann, Thomas and Lederer, Markus and Stehle, Fee}, title = {REDD+ and the reconfiguration of public authority in the forest sector}, series = {Global Forest Governance and Climate Change}, booktitle = {Global Forest Governance and Climate Change}, editor = {Nuesiri, Emmanuel O.}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-71945-0}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {203 -- 241}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @incollection{Nuesiri2018, author = {Nuesiri, Emmanuel O.}, title = {Godfather politics and exclusionary local representation in REDD+}, series = {Global forest governance and climate change}, booktitle = {Global forest governance and climate change}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-71945-0}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-71946-7_2}, pages = {17 -- 49}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Nuesiri assesses the UN-REDD (United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries) commitment to strengthen local democracy as a safeguard protecting local interests in REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation with the added goals of Conserving and Enhancing Forest Carbon Stocks, and Sustainably Managing Forests).

Local representation was through selected individuals (descriptive representatives), customary authority, and NGOs (symbolic representatives). Elected local government authorities (substantive representatives) were excluded from the consultative process. Exclusion of elected local governments is linked to godfather politics in Nigeria, which enables state governors to subordinate local government authority and constrain their responsiveness to local needs. In approving the Nigeria-REDD proposal, the UN-REDD reinforced the subversion of local democracy in Nigeria.

Max Weber's dictum of defining the state by the accomplishment of the monopolisation of the legitimate means of violence is of utmost significance for the history of citizenship. There can be no doubt that the experience of World War II prepared the ground for the twentieth-century idea of citizenship.
