Ep. 7.29 and Ep. 8.6, in which he presents his reaction to seeing the grave monument of Marcus Antonius Pallas, the freedman and minister of the Emperor Claudius, beside the Via Tiburtina. The monument records a senatorial vote of thanks to Pallas, and Pliny expresses intense indignation at the Senate's subservience and at the power and influence wielded by a freedman. This article compares Pliny's letters with Tacitus' account of the senatorial vote of thanks to Pallas at Ann. 12.52-3 and explores the differences between the ways in which the two authors encourage readers to relate to past events. It is noted that the Pallas letters are unusual amongst Pliny's let- ters for their treatment of material unconnected with the life and career of Pliny and his friends, and argued that in Ep. 7.29 Pliny uses language and attitudes drawn from satire to evoke the past. Ep. 8.6 is read as an idiosyncratic piece of historical enquiry, consider- ing Pliny's use of citation and his anonymization of historical individuals. Both letters are considered in the context of the surrounding letters, and a hypothesis is offered regarding the identity of their addressee Montanus, considering evidence from Tacitus' Histories and Annals. Discussion of Tac. Ann. 12.52-3 focusses on the use of irony. Pliny's evocation of enargeia ('vividness') is compared with that of Tacitus. The article concludes with comparison of the historical accounts offered by Pliny and Tacitus through reflection on Juvenal, Satire 1.}, language = {en} } @article{Zimmermann2021, author = {Zimmermann, Andreas}, title = {Doris Angst/Emma Lantschner (Hrsg.), ICERD - Internationales {\"U}bereinkommen zur Beseitigung jeder Form von Rassendiskriminierung - Handkommentar, erschienen im Nomos- Verlag, Baden-Baden 2020, 700 Seiten, ISBN 978-3-8487-4595-1}, series = {MenschenRechtsMagazin : MRM ; Informationen, Meinungen, Analysen}, volume = {26}, journal = {MenschenRechtsMagazin : MRM ; Informationen, Meinungen, Analysen}, number = {1}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1434-2820}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-50512}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-505122}, pages = {90 -- 91}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @article{Wagner2021, author = {Wagner, Marlene}, title = {Bericht {\"u}ber die T{\"a}tigkeit des Menschenrechtsausschusses der Vereinten Nationen im Jahre 2020 - Teil I: Staatenberichte}, series = {MenschenRechtsMagazin : MRM ; Informationen, Meinungen, Analysen}, volume = {26}, journal = {MenschenRechtsMagazin : MRM ; Informationen, Meinungen, Analysen}, number = {1}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1434-2820}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-50507}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-505072}, pages = {80 -- 89}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @article{CarlaUhink2021, author = {Carl{\`a}-Uhink, Filippo}, title = {Interview with Alana Jelinek}, series = {thersites 12}, volume = {2020}, journal = {thersites 12}, number = {12}, editor = {Rollinger, Christian}, issn = {2364-7612}, doi = {10.34679/thersites.vol12.163}, pages = {95 -- 103}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Alana Jelinek is an art historian and artist — "an artist making art, and also writing about art", in her words — , a former European Research Council artist in residence at the Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology at the University of Cambridge, and currently teaching in the School of Creative Arts at the University of Hertfordshire.

In this functional assay, a reporter enzyme is released concomitantly with the neurotransmitter from neurosecretory vesicles. The current study showed that the release of a luciferase from a differentiated human neuroblastoma-based reporter cell line (SIMA-hPOMC1-26-GLuc cells) can be stimulated by a carbachol-mediated activation of the Gq-coupled muscarinic-acetylcholine receptor and by the Ca2+-channel forming spider toxin α-latrotoxin. Carbachol-stimulated luciferase release was completely inhibited by the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist atropine and α-latrotoxin-mediated release by the Ca2+-chelator EGTA, demonstrating the specificity of luciferase-release stimulation. SIMA-hPOMC1-26-GLuc cells express mainly L- and N-type and to a lesser extent T-type VGCC on the mRNA and protein level. In accordance with the expression profile a depolarization-stimulated luciferase release by a high K+-buffer was effectively and dose-dependently inhibited by L-type VGCC inhibitors and to a lesser extent by N-type and T-type inhibitors. P/Q- and R-type inhibitors did not affect the K+-stimulated luciferase release. In summary, the newly established cell-based assay may represent a versatile tool to analyze the biological efficiency of a range of neurotoxins and neuroactive pharmaceuticals which mediate their activity by the modulation of calcium-dependent neurotransmitter release.}, language = {en} } @article{JeglinskiMendeSchmidt2021, author = {Jeglinski-Mende, Melinda A. and Schmidt, Hendrikje}, title = {Psychotherapy in the Framework of Embodied Cognition}, series = {Frontiers in Psychiatry}, volume = {12}, journal = {Frontiers in Psychiatry}, publisher = {Frontiers Research Foundation}, address = {Lausanne}, issn = {1664-0640}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyt.2021.562490}, pages = {9}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Mental health problems remain among the main generators of costs within and beyond the health care system. Psychotherapy, the tool of choice in their treatment, is qualified by social interaction, and cooperation within the therapist-patient-dyad. Research into the factors influencing therapy success to date is neither exhaustive nor conclusive. Among many others, the quality of the relationship between therapist and patient stands out regardless of the followed psychotherapy school. Emerging research points to a connection between interpersonal synchronization within the sessions and therapy outcome. Consequently, it can be considered significant for the shaping of this relationship. The framework of Embodied Cognition assumes bodily and neuronal correlates of thinking. Therefore, the present paper reviews investigations on interpersonal, non-verbal synchrony in two domains: firstly, studies on interpersonal synchrony in psychotherapy are reviewed (synchronization of movement). Secondly, findings on neurological correlates of interpersonal synchrony (assessed with EEG, fMRI, fNIRS) are summarized in a narrative manner. In addition, the question is asked whether interpersonal synchrony can be achieved voluntarily on an individual level. It is concluded that there might be mechanisms which could give more insights into therapy success, but as of yet remain uninvestigated. Further, the framework of embodied cognition applies more to the current body of evidence than classical cognitivist views. Nevertheless, deeper research into interpersonal physical and neurological processes utilizing the framework of Embodied Cognition emerges as a possible route of investigation on the road to lower drop-out rates, improved and quality-controlled therapeutic interventions, thereby significantly reducing healthcare costs.}, language = {en} } @article{KolbeHannaWischer2021, author = {Kolbe-Hanna, Daniela and Wischer, Ilse}, title = {Introduction}, series = {Anglistik: Focus on English Linguistics: Varieties Meet Histories}, volume = {32}, journal = {Anglistik: Focus on English Linguistics: Varieties Meet Histories}, number = {1}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Winter}, address = {Heidelberg}, issn = {2625-2147}, doi = {10.33675/ANGL/2021/1/4}, pages = {5 -- 10}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{D'Aprile2021, author = {D'Aprile, Iwan-Michelangelo}, title = {Transfer and Popularization of Knowledge}, series = {Translation and Transfer of Knowledge in Encyclopedic Compilations 1680-1830}, journal = {Translation and Transfer of Knowledge in Encyclopedic Compilations 1680-1830}, publisher = {Toronto University Press}, address = {Toronto}, isbn = {978-1487508906}, pages = {15}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{D'Aprile2021, author = {D'Aprile, Iwan-Michelangelo}, title = {Was k{\"o}nnte preußischer sein als Nathan}, series = {Theodor Fontane und das Erbe der Aufkl{\"a}rung}, journal = {Theodor Fontane und das Erbe der Aufkl{\"a}rung}, publisher = {de Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-11-066698-4}, pages = {13 -- 30}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @article{D'Aprile2021, author = {D'Aprile, Iwan-Michelangelo}, title = {Public Character}, series = {J{\"u}dische und christliche Intellektuelle in Berlin um 1800}, journal = {J{\"u}dische und christliche Intellektuelle in Berlin um 1800}, editor = {Berghahn, Cord-Friedrich and Lifschitz, Avi and Wiedemann, Conrad}, publisher = {Wehrhahn}, address = {Hannover}, isbn = {978-3-86525-825-0}, pages = {247 -- 262}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @article{Fleischer2021, author = {Fleischer, Julia}, title = {Federal Administration}, series = {Public Administration in Germany}, journal = {Public Administration in Germany}, publisher = {Palgrave Macmillan}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-53696-1}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-53697-8_5}, pages = {61 -- 79}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The federal administration is significantly small (around 10 percent of all public employees).
