Twórczość tego artysty skupia się na zaniedbanym ,,pasie południowym”. 1. Stan badań Twórczość pisarza cieszy się ogromną popularnością w kraju i za granicą. Krytyka literacka z wielką uwagą śledzi kolejno pojawiające się dzieła, niemniej jednak do tej pory stan badań jest stosunkowo niewielki. Nie powstało żadne kompendium wiedzy o wczesnej twórczości pisarza czy monograficzne opracowanie obejmujące ten sam okres twórczości artysty. Do tej pory uwaga krytyki i badaczy zwrócona została głównie na pierwsze utwory powstałe w latach dziewięćdziesiątych. 2. Cel pracy Głównym celem dysertacji była analiza twórczości Stasiuka w odniesieniu do zagadnień i problemów obecnych w filozofii i estetyce takich jak: kategoria piękna i brzydoty w ujęciu ontologicznym, metafizycznym i epistemologicznym, badanie wybranych utworów w kontekście niekonwencjonalnej autobiografii artystycznej, jak również nawiązanie do mityzacji Europy Wschodniej z odwołaniem się do prozy Brunona Schulza. Utworami łączącymi te zagadnienia ujmując chronologicznie są: „Opowieści galicyjskie”(1995), „Dukla”(1997), „Dziennik okrętowy”(2000), „Jadąc do Babadag”(2004). Teksty te łączy wspólny kontekst estetyczny, autobiograficzny, mityczny. 3. Podział i budowa pracy Niniejsza praca składa się z trzech części: pierwszej - „Estetyka brzydoty“, drugiej - „Homo geographicus Fascynacja geografią w kontekście autobiograficznym” stanowiącą pomost między kontekstem estetycznym i mitycznym oraz trzeciej: „Mityzacja Europy Wschodniej. Inspiracja Schulzem”. 4. Uwagi końcowe W zamykających na koniec wnioskach i uwagach warto podkreślić, że w pracy zostały poddane analizie problemy omijane przez wielu badaczy. Celem dysertacji było przedstawienie twórczości tego pisarza w niepodejmowanych do tej pory obszarach tematycznych. Spojrzenie na przedstawioną rzeczywistość i jej zjawiska tym razem w aspekcie estetycznym i mitycznym pozwoliły w zupełnie inny sposób spojrzeć na wybrane utwory Andrzeja Stasiuka. N2 - The dissertation presents innovative way of perceiving Eastern Europe, noticeable in Andrzej Stasiuk’s works different from the classical one so called “parallel” perception of this part of the continent in everlasting confrontation and constant comparisons to the West. The works of this artist concentrate on neglected “southern zone”. Described corners of Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Albania, Moldavia are the space that the writer mythisise in order to save them from oblivion. He gives them new aesthetic quality, changes typically ugly, uninteresting places into more interesting, he often subtilizes them. Andrzej Stasiuk, next to Marcin Świetlicki, Olga Tokarczuk, Magdalena Tulli and others, belongs to “bruLionu” generation born in the 60’s. 1. State of research Works of the writer are very popular both in Poland and abroad. Literary criticism carefully follows successive works, however as of yet the state of research is relatively low. There is no compendium of knowledge on early works of the writer or monographic essay containing the same period of the artist’s output. So far critics and researchers have paid attention mainly to the first works written in the 90’s. 2. The aim of dissertation The main aim of this dissertation was an analysis of Stasiuk’s output in relation to issues and problems present in philosophy and aesthetics, such as: the category of beauty and ugliness in ontological, metaphysical and epistemological depiction, examination of particular works in the context of unconventional artictic autobiography, as well as reference to mythization of Eastern Europe refering to the prose of Bruno Schulz. Works that join these issues are, in chronological order:”Opowieści galicyjskie”(1995), “Dukla”(1997), “Dziennik okrętowy”(2000), “Jadąc do Babadag”(2004). These texts are joined by common aesthetic, autobiographical and mythical context. Sometimes, the subsequent works are continuation of the prior ones. 3. Part and structure of the dissertation The present dissertation consists of three parts: the first – “Aesthetics of ugliness”, the second - “Homo geographicus fascination of geography in the autobiographical context” establishing connection between aesthetic and mythical context, and the third one: “Mythization of Eastern Europe. Inspired by Schulz”. 4. Final remarks In final findings and remarks it must be stressed that the present dissertation includes the analysis of problems omitted by many researchers. The aim of the dissertation was to present the output of this writer in new thematic areas. Preception on presented reality and its phenpmenon, this time in aesthetic and mythical aspect, allowed to look at selected works of Andrzej Stasiuk in a different way.

However, few methods exist to directly estimate hydrological changes and even fewer result in quantitative data, impeding our understanding of the timing, magnitude and mechanisms of hydrological changes. Here we present a novel approach based on delta H-2 values of sedimentary lipid biomarkers in combination with plant physiological modeling to extract quantitative information on past changes in relative humidity. Our initial application to an annually laminated lacustrine sediment sequence from western Europe deposited during the Younger Dryas cold period revealed relative humidity changes of up to 15% over sub-centennial timescales, leading to major ecosystem changes, in agreement with palynological data from the region. We show that by combining organic geochemical methods and mechanistic plant physiological models on well characterized lacustrine archives it is possible to extract quantitative ecohydrological parameters from sedimentary lipid biomarker delta H-2 data.

He argued that Germany’s international behaviour is dominated by a "realpolitik" policy, generally referred to as "normalization". For Hellmann, this transformation indicates one of the "deepest crisis of Germany’s foreign policy" ever. The first three parts were published in the summer, fall and winter editions (no. 43, 44 and 45) of WeltTrends, which featured contributions of German International Relations scholars as well as experts from abroad.

A1 - Gold, Ryan D. A1 - Strecker, Manfred T1 - Historical coseismic surface deformation of fluvial gravel deposits, Schafberg fault, Lower Rhine Graben, Germany JF - International journal of earth sciences N2 - Intraplate earthquakes pose a significant seismic hazard in densely populated rift systems like the Lower Rhine Graben in Central Europe. While the locations of most faults in this region are well known, constraints on their seismogenic potential and earthquake recurrence are limited. In particular, the Holocene deformation history of active faults remains enigmatic. In an exposure excavated across the Schafberg fault in the southwestern Lower Rhine Graben, south of Untermaubach, in the epicentral region of the 1756 Duren earthquake (M (L) 6.2), we mapped a complex deformation zone in Holocene fluvial sediments. We document evidence for at least one paleoearthquake that resulted in vertical surface displacement of 1.2 +/- 0.2 m. The most recent earthquake is constrained to have occurred after 815 AD, and we have modeled three possible earthquake scenarios constraining the timing of the latest event. Coseismic deformation is characterized by vertical offset of sedimentary contacts distributed over a 10-m-wide central damage zone. Faults were identified where they fracture and offset pebbles in the vertically displaced gravel layers and fracture orientation is consistent with the orientation of the Schafberg fault. This study provides the first constraint on the most recent surface-rupturing earthquake on the Schafberg fault. We cannot rule out that this fault acted as the source of the 1756 Duren earthquake. Our study emphasizes the importance of, and the need for, paleoseismic studies in this and other intracontinental regions, in particular on faults with subtle geomorphic expression that would not typically be recognized as being potentially seismically active. Our study documents textural features in unconsolidated sediment that formed in response to coseismic rupturing of the underlying bedrock fault. We suggest that these features, e.g., abundant oriented transgranular fractures in their context, should be added to the list of criteria used to identify a fault as potentially active. Such information would result in an increase of the number of potentially active faults that contribute to seismic hazards of intracontinental regions.

However, the basis of successful plant invasion is not conclusively understood, especially since these plant species can adapt to the new range within a short period of time despite impoverished genetic diversity of the starting populations. In this context, DNA methylation is considered promising to explain successful adaptation mechanisms in the new habitat. DNA methylation is a heritable variation in gene expression without changing the underlying genetic information. Thus, DNA methylation is considered a so-called epigenetic mechanism, but has been studied in mainly clonally reproducing plant species or genetic model plants. An understanding of this epigenetic mechanism in the context of non-native, predominantly sexually reproducing plant species might help to expand knowledge in biodiversity research on the interaction between plants and their habitats and, based on this, may enable more precise measures in conservation biology. For my studies, I combined chemical DNA demethylation of field-collected seed material from predominantly sexually reproducing species and rearing offsping under common climatic conditions to examine DNA methylation in an ecological-evolutionary context. The contrast of chemically treated (demethylated) plants, whose variation in DNA methylation was artificially reduced, and untreated control plants of the same species allowed me to study the impact of this mechanism on adaptive trait differentiation and local adaptation. With this experimental background, I conducted three studies examining the effect of DNA methylation in non-native species along a climatic gradient and also between climatically divergent regions. The first study focused on adaptive trait differentiation in two invasive perennial goldenrod species, Solidago canadensis sensu latu and S. gigantea AITON, along a climate gradient of more than 1000 km in length in Central Europe. I found population differences in flowering timing, plant height, and biomass in the temporally longer-established S. canadensis, but only in the number of regrowing shoots for S. gigantea. While S. canadensis did not show any population structure, I was able to identify three genetic groups along this climatic gradient in S. gigantea. Surprisingly, demethylated plants of both species showed no change in the majority of traits studied. In the subsequent second study, I focused on the longer-established goldenrod species S. canadensis and used molecular analyses to infer spatial epigenetic and genetic population differences in the same specimens from the previous study. I found weak genetic but no epigenetic spatial variation between populations. Additionally, I was able to identify one genetic marker and one epigenetic marker putatively susceptible to selection. However, the results of this study reconfirmed that the epigenetic mechanism of DNA methylation appears to be hardly involved in adaptive processes within the new range in S. canadensis. Finally, I conducted a third study in which I reciprocally transplanted short-lived plant species between two climatically divergent regions in Germany to investigate local adaptation at the plant family level. For this purpose, I used four plant families (Amaranthaceae, Asteraceae, Plantaginaceae, Solanaceae) and here I additionally compared between non-native and native plant species. Seeds were transplanted to regions with a distance of more than 600 kilometers and had either a temperate-oceanic or a temperate-continental climate. In this study, some species were found to be maladapted to their own local conditions, both in non-native and native plant species alike. In demethylated individuals of the plant species studied, DNA methylation had inconsistent but species-specific effects on survival and biomass production. The results of this study highlight that DNA methylation did not make a substantial contribution to local adaptation in the non-native as well as native species studied. In summary, my work showed that DNA methylation plays a negligible role in both adaptive trait variation along climatic gradients and local adaptation in non-native plant species that either exhibit a high degree of genetic variation or rely mainly on sexual reproduction with low clonal propagation. I was able to show that the adaptive success of these non-native plant species can hardly be explained by DNA methylation, but could be a possible consequence of multiple introductions, dispersal corridors and meta-population dynamics. Similarly, my results illustrate that the use of plant species that do not predominantly reproduce clonally and are not model plants is essential to characterize the effect size of epigenetic mechanisms in an ecological-evolutionary context. N2 - Die zunehmende Eintragung nicht-heimischer Pflanzenarten kann eine Gefahr für die lokale Artenvielfalt darstellen. Die Grundlagen einer erfolgreichen pflanzlichen Ausbreitung sind jedoch nicht abschließend geklärt, zumal sich diese Arten innerhalb kurzer Zeit an das neue Verbreitungsgebiet anpassen können trotz anfänglich reduzierter genetischer Vielfalt der Startpopulationen. In diesem Kontext gilt DNA-Methylierung als vielversprechend, um erfolgreiche Anpassungsmechanismen im neuen Lebensraum zu erklären. Bei der DNA-Methylierung handelt es sich um eine vererbbare Variation der Genaktivität, ohne dass die zugrundeliegende genetische Erbinformation verändert wird. Damit gehört DNA-Methylierung zu den sogenannten epigenetischen Mechanismen, wurde jedoch vorwiegend bei sich klonal vermehrenden Pflanzenarten oder genetischen Modellpflanzen untersucht. Ein Verständnis dieses epigenetischen Mechanismus im Zusammenhang mit nicht-einheimischen, sich vorwiegend sexuell reproduzierenden Pflanzenarten erweitert das Wissen in der Biodiversitätsforschung zur Interaktion zwischen Pflanzen und ihrem Lebensraum und kann, darauf aufbauend, präzisere Maßnahmen in der Naturschutzbiologie ermöglichen. Für meine Studien kombinierte ich die chemische DNA-Demethylierung von im Freiland gesammeltem Samenmaterial sich vorwiegend sexuell fortpflanzender Arten und die Aufzucht unter gemeinsamen klimatischen Bedingungen, um DNA-Methylierung im ökologisch-evolutionären Kontext zu untersuchen. Der Kontrast von chemisch behandelten (demethylierten) Pflanzen, deren Methylierungsvariation nun künstlich verringert war, und unbehandelten Kontrollpflanzen derselben Art ermöglichte mir die Auswirkung dieses Mechanismus auf adaptive Merkmalsvariationen und lokale Anpassung zu studieren. Vor diesem experimentellen Hintergrund führte ich drei Studien durch, um die Auswirkung von DNA-Methylierung bei nicht-einheimischen Pflanzenarten entlang eines klimatischen Gradienten und zwischen zwei klimatisch unterschiedlichen Regionen zu untersuchen. Die erste Studie konzentrierte sich auf adaptive Merkmalsveränderungen bei Nachkommen von zwei invasiven, mehrjährigen Goldrutenarten, Solidago canadensis sensu latu und S. gigantea AITON, entlang eines Klimagradienten von mehr als 1000 km Länge in Zentraleuropa. Ich fand graduelle Unterschiede im Blühzeitpunkt, in der Pflanzenhöhe und der Biomasse bei der zeitlich länger etablierten S. canadensis, bei S. gigantea jedoch nur in der Anzahl der nachwachsenden Triebe. Während S. canadensis keinerlei Populationsstruktur aufwies, konnte ich bei S. gigantea drei genetische Gruppen entlang dieses Klimagradienten identifizieren. Überraschenderweise zeigten demethylierte Pflanzen beider Arten keine Veränderung in der überwiegenden Anzahl der untersuchten Merkmale. In der darauffolgenden zweiten Studie konzentrierte ich mich auf die länger etablierte Goldrutenart S. canadensis und verwendete molekulare Analysen, um räumliche epigenetische und genetische Populationunterschiede aus den Exemplaren der vorhergehenden Studie abzuleiten. Ich fand schwache genetische aber keine epigenetische räumliche Variation zwischen den Populationen. Zusätzlich konnte ich einen genetischen und einen epigenetischen Marker identifizieren, welcher potentiell unter Selektion stehen könnte. Allerdings bestätigten die Ergebnisse dieser Studie erneut, dass DNA-Methylierung bei S. canadensis kaum in die Anpassung an das neue Verbreitungsgebiet involviert zu sein scheint. Schließlich führte ich eine dritte Studie durch, in welcher ich Samen kurzlebiger Pflanzenarten reziprok zwischen zwei klimatisch unterschiedlichen Regionen in Deutschland transplantierte, um lokale Anpassung auf Ebene der Pflanzenfamilien zu untersuchen. Zu diesem Zweck nutze ich vier Pflanzenfamilien (Amaranthaceae, Asteraceae, Plantaginaceae, Solanaceae), wobei ich hier auch zwischen nicht-heimischen und heimischen Pflanzenarten verglich. Beide Regionen lagen mehr als 600 Kilometer voneinander entfernt und wiesen entweder ein gemäßigt-ozeanisches oder gemäßigt-kontinentales Klima auf. In dieser Studie zeigte sich für einige—sowohl nicht-einheimische als auch einhimische—Arten eine Fehlanpassung an die eigenen lokalen Bedingungen. In demethylierten Individuen der untersuchten Pflanzenarten wirkte sich die DNA-Methylierung widersprüchlich, aber artspezifisch auf das Überleben und die Biomasseproduktion aus. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie unterstreichen, dass DNA-Methylierung einen vernachlässigbaren Beitrag zur lokalen Anpassung bei den untersuchten nicht-heimischen, aber auch einheimischen Arten leistete. Zusammenfassend konnte ich mit dieser Arbeit festellen, dass DNA-Methylierung bei nicht-einheimischen Pflanzenarten eine untergeordnete Rolle sowohl bei der adaptiven Merkmalsvariation entlang von Klimagradienten als auch der lokalen Anpassung an klimatisch unterschiedliche Regionen spielt, wenn diese Pflanzenarten eine hohe genetische Vielfalt aufweisen und sich hauptsächlich sexuell vermehren. Ich konnte zeigen, dass der Anpassungserfolg dieser nicht-einheimischen Pflanzenarten kaum durch DNA-Methylierung erklärbar ist, sondern vielmehr eine mögliche Folge mehrfacher Eintragungen, von Ausbreitungskorridoren und Meta-Populationsdynamiken sein könnte. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studien verdeutlichen ebenso, dass die Verwendung von Pflanzenarten, die sich nicht überwiegend klonal vermehren und keine genetischen Modellpflanzen sind, unerlässlich ist, um die Effektstärke epigenetischer Mechanismen im ökologisch-evolutionären Kontext zu charakterisieren.

V. N2 - In the aftermath of the Shoah and the ostensible triumph of nationalism, it became common in historiography to relegate Jews to the position of the “eternal other” in a series of binaries: Christian/Jewish, Gentile/Jewish, European/Jewish, non-Jewish/Jewish, and so forth. For the longest time, these binaries remained characteristic of Jewish historiography, including in the Central European context. Assuming instead, as the more recent approaches in Habsburg studies do, that pluriculturalism was the basis of common experience in formerly Habsburg Central Europe, and accepting that no single “majority culture” existed, but rather hegemonies were imposed in certain contexts, then the often used binaries are misleading and conceal the complex and sometimes even paradoxical conditions that shaped Jewish life in the region before the Shoah. The very complexity of Habsburg Central Europe both in synchronic and diachronic perspective precludes any singular historical narrative of “Habsburg Jewry,” and it is not the intention of this volume to offer an overview of “Habsburg Jewish history.” The selected articles in this volume illustrate instead how important it is to reevaluate categories, deconstruct historical narratives, and reconceptualize implemented approaches in specific geographic, temporal, and cultural contexts in order to gain a better understanding of the complex and pluricultural history of the Habsburg Empire and the region as a whole.

Aber wie wurde der Umbruch in Politik und Wirtschaft rechtlich verankert? Welche Probleme entstehen, wenn westliche Normen wie die Vorschriften der EU nach Osteuropa übertragen werden und welche Rolle spielt das Recht beim Aufbau der Wirtschaft? Dieser Band versucht Antworten zu geben, indem er theoretische Fragestellungen mit empirischen Fallstudien aus Ostmittel- und Südosteuropa sowie Zentralasien verbindet.
