New practices of transnational Islam, and the growth of new concepts of Muslim identities currently emerging in the on-line community, are relatively free from immediate constraints. This article provides the result of a sociological analysis of three Internet sites in Sydney which deliver on-line fatwas. Even if cyberspace has allowed the Muslim world to be de-territorialised and provides a way for people to distance themselves from traditional communities if they wish, this research points out a variety of approaches, including one case which is aiming at re-localising an Australian Muslim system of values. This case highlights ways in which first generation Muslims are re-territorialising Shari'a in a specific western country.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Nicolai2016, author = {Nicolai, Johann Nils}, title = {"Seid mutig und aufrecht!"}, series = {Potsdamer j{\"u}dische Studien ; 1}, journal = {Potsdamer j{\"u}dische Studien ; 1}, publisher = {be.bra}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-95410-072-9}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {314}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Der 'Centralverein deutscher Staatsb{\"u}rger j{\"u}dischen Glaubens' (C.V.) wurde 1893 in Berlin gegr{\"u}ndet.

Eine zweite S{\"a}ule seiner Arbeit war die Aufkl{\"a}rung der Nichtjuden {\"u}ber das 'wahre Wesen' des Judentums. Johann Nicolai analysiert in diesem Band unter Auswertung der Moskauer Archivbest{\"a}nde die Entwicklung des Vereins von 1933 bis zu seiner Aufl{\"o}sung im Jahr 1938. Im Mittelpunkt der Studie steht die Frage, wie der Centralverein die Fortsetzung seiner Arbeit gegen{\"u}ber seinen Mitgliedern begr{\"u}ndete, obwohl im Nationalsozialismus die grundlegenden B{\"u}rgerrechte f{\"u}r die deutschen Juden, die er urspr{\"u}nglich verteidigen wollte, nicht mehr gew{\"a}hrleistet waren. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Wandlung des Centralvereins nach den N{\"u}rnberger Gesetzen und der darauf erfolgten Umbenennung und Umstrukturierung. Wesentlicher Bestandteil ist auch die Auseinandersetzung mit der j{\"u}dischen Emigration nach {\"U}bersee. Nicolai zeigt auf, dass es bis tief in die 1930er-Jahre hinein starke Spannungen im deutschen Judentum gab.}, language = {de} } @article{Magagna2016, author = {Magagna, Tony R.}, title = {"Say It Right, Say It Correct": Documenting the American West in The Laramie Project}, series = {Western American Literature}, volume = {51}, journal = {Western American Literature}, publisher = {Utha State University}, address = {Logan}, issn = {0043-3462}, pages = {199 -- 229}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{WiesePohle2016, author = {Wiese, Heike and Pohle, Maria}, title = {"I go to the Cinema" or" to the Cinema"?

We show that noncanonical variants have the form of bare NPs with or without preposition and appear in both multilingual and monolingual speech communities, following the same syntactic and semantic patterns. While there is a quantitative advantage for the multilingual group, noncanonical variants generally constitute only a minority compared to canonical full PP[DP]. Study 2 targets usage restrictions across communicative situations, based on a corpus of elicited productions by adolescents from a multilingual urban neighbourhood. Comparisons show significantly more noncanonical local expressions in informal, peer-group situations than in formal ones for both spoken and written modes. Taken together, results indicate a selective, grammatically restricted and register-bound choice of noncanonical local expressions.}, language = {de} } @article{LiebigSarhanPrietzeletal.2016, author = {Liebig, Ferenc and Sarhan, Radwan Mohamed and Prietzel, Claudia Christina and Reinecke, Antje and Koetz, Joachim}, title = {"Green" gold nanotriangles: synthesis, purification by polyelectrolyte/micelle depletion flocculation and performance in surface-enhanced Raman scattering}, series = {RSC Advances}, volume = {6}, journal = {RSC Advances}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {2046-2069}, doi = {10.1039/c6ra04808k}, pages = {33561 -- 33568}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The aim of this study was to develop a one-step synthesis of gold nanotriangles (NTs) in the presence of mixed phospholipid vesicles followed by a separation process to isolate purified NTs. Negatively charged vesicles containing AOT and phospholipids, in the absence and presence of additional reducing agents (polyampholytes, polyanions or low molecular weight compounds), were used as a template phase to form anisotropic gold nanoparticles. Upon addition of the gold chloride solution, the nucleation process is initiated and both types of particles, i.e., isotropic spherical and anisotropic gold nanotriangles, are formed simultaneously. As it was not possible to produce monodisperse nanotriangles with such a one-step procedure, the anisotropic nanoparticles needed to be separated from the spherical ones. Therefore, a new type of separation procedure using combined polyelectrolyte/micelle depletion flocculation was successfully applied. As a result of the different purification steps, a green colored aqueous dispersion was obtained containing highly purified, well-defined negatively charged flat nanocrystals with a platelet thickness of 10 nm and an edge length of about 175 nm. The NTs produce promising results in surface-enhanced Raman scattering.}, language = {en} } @article{Friess2016, author = {Frieß, Nina A.}, title = {"From Russia with Blood".

Bereits kurze Zeit nach der deutschen Niederlage von 1918 wurden die wirtschaftlichen Aspekte der Kriegf{\"u}hrung wieder von einem kleinen, hochprofessionellen Offizierskreis diskutiert.

By investigating the role of brokers within the negotiation as one institutional scope condition for 'arguing' having occurred, the chapter adopts a dramaturgical approach. It contends that the authority of brokers is not necessarily institutionally given, but needs to be gained: brokers have to prove situationally that their knowledge is relevant and that they are speaking impartially in the interest of progress rather than their own. The chapter stresses the importance of procedural knowledge which brokers provide in contrast to policy knowledge.}, language = {en} }
