TY - JOUR A1 - Bispinck-Roßbacher, Julia T1 - „Zwischen den Zeilen …“ BT - zur kodikologischen Untersuchung der Amerikanischen Reisetagebücher von Alexander von Humboldt JF - HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; International Review for Humboldtian Studies N2 - Der Artikel beschäftigt sich mit dem kodikologischen Befund der Amerikanischen Reisetagebücher und materialtechnologischen Untersuchungen zu ihrem Papier und Beschreibstoffen. Der kodikologische Aspekt beinhaltet eine umfassende Erfassung aller physischen Merkmale und Besonderheiten der Tagebücher, wobei ein Fokus auf die Zusammenstellung der Lagen, auf heraus getrennten oder ganz fehlenden Seiten liegt. Dies geschieht vor dem Hintergrund, die ursprüngliche Zusammenstellung der Tagebücher zu rekonstruieren, die Genese zu erforschen und im Nachlass befindliche Teile ggf. fehlenden Blättern oder Fragmenten in den Tagebüchern zuzuordnen. Wasserzeichenaufnahmen mit der Thermographiekamera und Tintenanlaysen mithilfe der Röntgenfluoreszenztechnik können dabei helfen aufzuzeigen, wie die Tagebücher entstanden sind und wie sie bis zum Tod Alexander von Humboldts von ihm als Arbeitsinstrument genutzt wurden. N2 - El artículo trata de los resultados codicológicos y exámenes tecnológicos sobre los aspectos materiales (papeles, tintas) de los Diarios del viaje americano. El aspecto codicológico incluye una revisión extensa de las características y particularidades materiales de los diarios, enfocando las encuadernaciones y las páginas separadas o faltantes. La revisión tiene como fin de reconstruir la compilación original de los diarios, de explorar su génesis y de adjudicar partes (fragmentos, folios faltantes) del legado a los diarios tal como los tenemos hoy. Las marcas de agua se registran con la cámara termográfica, el análisis de las tintas usadas se realiza con ayuda de un sistema de medida por fluorescencia de rayos X. Esto contribuirá a mostrar como evolucionaron los diarios de viaje y como fueron usadas por Alejandro de Humboldt a lo largo de su vida y hasta antes de su muerte. N2 - The American Travel Diaries’ paper and writing materials have been examined under codicological aspects as well as in terms of material based technologies. The report on the codicology includes a comprehensive survey of all physical features and specifics within the diaries. The examination is focused on the structure of the gatherings and cut-out or missing leafs. This is done in order to reconstruct the original compilation of the diaries, to research on their genesis and to possibly allocate parts of the bequest to missing pages or fragments in the diaries. Images taken of watermarks with the help of a thermographical camera and the analysis of the inks with the X-ray fluorescence method can help to show how the Travel Diaries were created in the first place and how they have been used by Alexander von Humboldt as a continuous working-tool until his death.

Folglich vereint der jüdische Knabe Agathon, die Hauptgestalt des zweiten Romanteils, Züge sowohl des jüdischen Messias als auch des christlichen Heilands. Die hohe Anzahl von Anspielungen auf die Figur Jesu und die ästhetische Funktionalisierung christologischer Motive im Roman ist in den Kontext jener „Heimholung Jesu in das Judentum“ einzubetten, die ab dem 19. Jahrhundert mit der Wissenschaft des Judentums einsetzte. Der vorliegende Beitrag wird – vor dem Hintergrund zeitgenössischer Jesus-Deutungen – sowohl auf die Spuren Jesu in der Charakterisierung Agathons als auch auf die Aneignung christologischer Motive vor allem im 2. Romanteil eingehen. Dabei soll insbesondere auf Lou von Salomés Aufsatz „Jesus der Jude“ (1896) als mögliche Quelle verwiesen werden. N2 - Jakob Wassermann’s novel “Die Juden von Zirndorf ” (“The Jews of Zirndorf ”, 1897), an incisive portrait of German-Jewish life, is grounded on different messianic concepts, which can only partly be ascribed to the Jewish tradition as such. The Jewish boy Agathon, who is the main protagonist in the second part of the book, shows traits of both the Jewish Messiah and the Christian Saviour combined. Several references to the figure of Jesus and the aesthetic functionalisation of Christological motifs can be found in the novel. These references have to be read within the context of the “bringing Jesus back home to Judaism”-movement, which emerged the rise of the Wissenschaft des Judentums in the nineteenth century. The present article will – against the background of contemporary interpretations of Jesus – highlight Jesus’ features present in the characterisation of Agathon and investigate the appropriation of Christological motifs especially in the second part of the novel. The role of Lou von Salomé’s Essay “Jesus der Jude” (“Jesus, the Jew”, 1896) as a possible source of Wassermann’s novel will be given special emphasis.

Jüdische Theologen wie Joseph Eschelbacher entwarfen ein Judentum, das, anders als von Harnack dargestellt, bereits jene moderne Gestalt einer Religion erfüllt, die Harnack für das Christentum erst zu erreichen versuchte. Einsteins „vom Dogma abweichende[r] Standpunkt“, der ihm vor Gericht von einem katholischen Geistlichen als Standpunkt eines dissidenten Juden vorgeworfen wurde, hätte durchaus als Beitrag eines jüdischen Literaten zur Apologie des Judentums gelten können, wenn Einstein nicht selbst seine Glaubensbrüder im Verbund mit der von ihm abgelehnten bürgerlichen Ideologie des kapitalistischen Marktes gesehen hätte. N2 - Carl Einstein‘s drama “The bad news” (1921), for which he was put on trial for blasphemy, follows with its critical stance against the Christian doctrine of the crucifixion and resurrection the trend, led by Jewish theologians of that time, of examining Adolf Harnack‘s modernization project of Christianity. Jewish theologians such as Joseph Eschelbacher devised a Judaism that, unlike Harnack‘s judgment, already fulfilled this modern gestalt of a religion that Harnack intended to find for Christianity. Einstein‘s “deviation from the dogma”, for which he was accused of being a dissident Jew by a Catholic priest in court, could easily be considered another contribution to Judaism‘s apologia by a Jewish literary agent. Yet, he remains an outsider, since, according to Einstein himself, even his fellow religious brother became affiliated with capitalism’ bourgeois ideology – an ideology he rejected deeply.

Jahrhunderts JF - PaRDeS : Journal of the Association of Jewish Studies [21 (2015)] = Jesus in the Jewish cultures of the 19th and 20th century N2 - Der deutsch-jüdische Dichter und Anarchist Erich Mühsam (1878–1934) rekurrierte in seinem schriftstellerischen OEuvre wiederholt auf die Figur Jesus’. Im Versuch, diese Beziehungsgeschichte zu rekonstruieren und zu deuten, rücken Einflussgeber aus dem Umfeld der literarischen Avantgarde Berlins sowie der Lebensreformbewegung in den Blick. In einer Verschränkung von quasireligiöser Renaissance und Aufbruchstimmung hin zum ‚Neuen Menschen‘ war Jesus in diesen Zirkeln um die Jahrhundertwende ein beliebtes Motiv und prägte sich, vermittelt über Freundschaften und Wegmarken, auch in Mühsams Schreiben ein. Neben Kain ist es Jesus, der bei Mühsam zur den fünften Stand revolutionierenden Lichtgestalt wird. In diese Bezugnahme spielen Mühsams konfliktreiches Verhältnis zu seinem Vater und dessen Assimilation an das deutsche Bürgertum mit hinein, das keineswegs gänzlich jene aufgeklärten Werte lebte, auf die es sich nominell berief: Statt Freiheit und Gleichheit prävalierten neue Zwänge, Begrenzungen und Ressentiments, wie Mühsam bemerkte. Über Gustav Landauer fand er nicht nur zum Anarchismus, sondern auch zu einer neuen Sprache für die verschüttete Tradition und prägte hierüber seiner Jesusfigur sein Verständnis eines rebellischen Judentums ein, das Mühsam selbst als Revolutionär verkörperte. N2 - In his writings, the German-Jewish poet and anarchist Erich Mühsam (1878−1934) put special emphasis on Jesus. His perception was influenced by members of Berlin’s literary vanguard and the „Lebensreform”-movement. In Mühsams poetry the biblical Cain and Jesus appear as rebellious characters fighting for the rights of declassed people. Mühsams reference to Jesus seems highly autobiographical, as his conflicts with his bourgeois father dominate his poetry and perspective. For the anarchist, Jewish assimilation and with it the Enlightenment seemed incomplete: Instead of freedom and equality new boundaries, new constraints and resentments determined his social reality. In Gustav Landauer’s writings Mühsam found evidence for his anarchical core belief and even more a renewed focus on Judaism. Part of this highly subjective perception was Jesus: a Jewish rebel just like Mühsam.

Die Serie war der Höhepunkt von Tolkatchevs intensiver Auseinandersetzung mit den Erfahrungen, die er als Soldat der Roten Armee, während der Befreiung der Konzentrationslager Majdanek und Auschwitz gemacht hatte. Schockiert von dem dort Gesehenen, zeigt er Jesus als Lagerinsassen, der eine gestreifte Uniform trägt, die alle nur möglichen Diffamierungszeichen aufweist – den jüdischen gelben Stern, das rote Dreieck politischer Gefangener und die individuelle Gefangenennummer. Die numerische Tätowierung am Unterarm ist auch zu sehen. Die verschiedenen Abschnitte des Lagerlebens werden als die der traditionellen Passion Christi dargestellt. Während der Künstler die verschiedenen Phasen des Leidens Jesu kanonisch portraitiert, basiert sein künstlerisches Schaffen auf den der bekannten Malereien der europäischen Renaissance. Der Artikel platziert Tolkatchevs Bilderserie in einem breiteren kulturellen und visuellen Kontext, da er sowohl die Entwicklung des ‚historischen Jesu‘ typisch für das Denkbild des Europas des 19. Jahrhunderts und der Kunst des Russischem Realismus als auch den Einfluss der deutschen Avantgarde, untersucht. Dadurch bietet sich ein tiefsinnigeres Verstehen von Tolkatchevs Arbeit und ihrer universellen Botschaft. N2 - In 1945, Zinovii Shenderovich Tolkatchev (1903–1977), a Soviet artist of Jewish origin, created a striking series of five images entitled “Jesus in Majdanek”. The series was the culmination of Tolkatchev‘s intensive preoccupation with the experience he, as a Red Army soldier, endured upon taking part in liberation of the concentration camps Majdanek and Auschwitz. Shocked by the actual sights he witnessed, he depicted Jesus as an actual camp inmate, wearing a striped uniform marked by every possible defamation sign – the Jewish yellow star, the red triangle of political prisoners, and the individual prison number, the numerical tattoo on his lower arm can also be seen. The different stages of camp life are portrayed as the traditional Passion of Christ. While showing the actual situations the artist based himself upon the well known European Renaissance paintings canonically depicting Jesus‘ suffering. The article places Tolkatchev‘s series in a broader cultural and visual context by exploring the development of the ‘historical Jesus’ in the 19th century European thought and Russian realist art, and by examining the impact of the German avant-garde. By doing so, a deeper understanding of the universal message Tolkatchev’s works entail is offered.

June 2015 N2 - Using a code that employs a self-consistent method for computing the effects of photoionization on circumstellar gas dynamics, we model the formation of wind-driven nebulae around massive Wolf-Rayet (W-R) stars. Our algorithm incorporates a simplified model of the photo-ionization source, computes the fractional ionization of hydrogen due to the photoionizing flux and recombination, and determines self-consistently the energy balance due to ionization, photo-heating and radiative cooling. We take into account changes in stellar properties and mass-loss over the star's evolution. Our multi-dimensional simulations clearly reveal the presence of strong ionization front instabilities. Using various X-ray emission models, and abundances consistent with those derived for W-R nebulae, we compute the X-ray flux and spectra from our wind bubble models. We show the evolution of the X-ray spectral features with time over the evolution of the star, taking the absorption of the X-rays by the ionized bubble into account. Our simulated X-ray spectra compare reasonably well with observed spectra of Wolf-Rayet bubbles. They suggest that X-ray nebulae around massive stars may not be easily detectable, consistent with observations.∗ Y1 - 2015 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-88301 SP - 329 EP - 332 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Pablo, H.

June 2015 N2 - For some years now, spectroscopic measurements of massive stars in the amateur domain have been fulfilling professional requirements. Various groups in the northern and southern hemispheres have been established, running successful professional-amateur (ProAm) collaborative campaigns, e.g., on WR, O and B type stars. Today high quality data (echelle and long-slit) are regularly delivered and corresponding results published. Night-to-night long-term observations over months to years open a new opportunity for massive-star research. We introduce recent and ongoing sample campaigns (e.g. ∊ Aur, WR 134, ζ Pup), show respective results and highlight the vast amount of data collected in various data bases. Ultimately it is in the time-dependent domain where amateurs can shine most.

T1 - Wolf-Rayet stars as supernova progenitors JF - Wolf-Rayet Stars : Proceedings of an International Workshop held in Potsdam, Germany, 1.–5. June 2015 N2 - In this review, I discuss the suitability of massive star progenitors, evolved in isolation or in interacting binaries, for the production of observed supernovae (SNe) IIb, Ib, Ic. These SN types can be explained through variations in composition. The critical need of non-thermal effects to produce He I lines favours low-mass He-rich ejecta (in which ^56 Ni can be more easily mixed with He) for the production of SNe IIb/Ib, which thus may arise preferentially from moderate-mass donors in interacting binaries. SNe Ic may instead arise from higher mass progenitors, He-poor or not, because their larger CO cores prevent efficient non-thermal excitation of He i lines. However, current single star evolution models tend to produce Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars at death that have a final mass of > 10 M⊙. Single WR star explosion models produce ejecta that are too massive to match the observed light curve widths and rise times of SNe IIb/Ib/Ic, unless their kinetic energy is systematically and far greater than the canonical value of 10^56 erg. Future work is needed to evaluate the energy/mass degeneracy in light curve properties. Alternatively, a greater mass loss during the WR phase, perhaps in the form of eruptions, as evidenced in SNe Ibn, may reduce the final WR mass. If viable, such explosions would nonetheless favour a SN Ic, not a Ib.

The observed distribution of WR stars is considered with respect to known star clusters, given that ≤20% of WR stars in the disk are located in clusters. WN stars outnumber WC stars at all galactocentric radii, while early-type WC stars are strongly biased against the inner Milky Way. Finally, recent estimates of the global WR population in the Milky Way are reassessed, with 1,200±100 estimated, such that the current census may be 50% complete. A characteristic WR lifetime of 0.25 Myr is inferred for an initial mass threshold of 25 M⊙.

Günzburg 1730 wird in der Russischen Staatsbibliothek in Moskau aufbewahrt und in das 17. Jahrhundert datiert. Das Manuskript ist in die sogenannte ‚Herodes Tradition‘ der “Toledot Yeshu” einzuordnen. Demzufolge ist die vorliegende jiddische Handschrift MS. Günzburg 1730 mit der hebräisch gedruckten Version verwandt, die zusammen mit einer lateinischen Übersetzung von dem Schweizer Pastoren und Theologen Johann Jacob Uldrich (Huldricus, 1683–1731) im Jahre 1705 in Leiden unter dem Titel “Historia Jeschuae Nazareni” publiziert wurde. Obschon die genaue Datierung der jiddischen Handschrift nicht möglich ist, erlauben exemplarische Vergleiche zwischen den hebräischen und den jiddischen Texten dennoch spezifische Merkmale der jiddischen Version herauszustellen, und Fragen über die Übermittlung und der Rezeption dieses anspruchsvollen und interessanten Textes aufzuwerfen. N2 - In this paper, I wish to bring some evidences from a Yiddish manuscript of the “Toledot Yeshu” which has not yet been the object of research: MS. Günzburg, 1730 kept in the Russian State Library in Moscow and dated 17th century. The manuscript is part of the so-called ‘Herode-tradition’ of the “Toledot Yeshu”. This means that the Yiddish manuscript is connected to the version printed in Hebrew and accompanied by a Latin translation by the Swiss pastor and theologian Johann Jacob Uldrich (Huldricus, 1683–1731) in Leiden in 1705, bearing the title “Historia Jeschuae Nazareni”. Given the uncertainty about the exact dating of the Yiddish manuscript, a comparison between the Hebrew and the Yiddish can still allow some remarks concerning the characteristics of the Yiddish version and posit some questions about the transmission and the reception of this challenging and intriguing text.

Potsdamer UNO-Konferenz am 28.Juni 2014 N2 - Die Beziehungen zwischen den Vereinten Nationen und nichtstaatlichen Akteuren haben seit den 1990er Jahren einen radikalen Wandel erlebt. Nach der Rio-Konferenz über Umwelt und Entwicklung 1992 stand in den Vereinten Nationen zunächst die Frage im Vordergrund, wie der gewachsenen Bedeutung der Nichtregierungsorganisationen (NGOs) in der Arbeit und den Strukturen der Weltorganisation Rechnung getragen werden könnte. Seit Ende der 1990er Jahre dominierten innerhalb der Vereinten Nationen und einiger ihrer Spezialorgane und Sonderorganisationen zunehmend die Bemühungen, Privatunternehmen und ihre Interessenvertreter aktiver in die Arbeit der Vereinten Nationen zu integrieren. Dies geschah zum einen in Form unterschiedlichster bilateraler Kontakte und Kooperationsvorhaben zwischen Unternehmen und UN-Akteuren, zum anderen im Rahmen von Dialogveranstaltungen und gemeinsamen Initiativen von Regierungen, zwischenstaatlichen Gremien, Wirtschaftsvertretern und NGOs, für die im Folgeprozess der Rio-Konferenz der Begriff der Multistakeholder-Partnerschaften geprägt wurde. Der folgende Beitrag nimmt diese Entwicklung kritisch unter die Lupe. Er zeichnet im Zeitraffer nach, wie sich die Beziehungen zwischen den Vereinten Nationen und nichtstaatlichen Akteuren gewandelt haben, beschreibt das Ausmaß und die Bandbreite der neuen Partnerschaftsansätze, erörtert Risiken und Nebenwirkungen dieses Paradigmenwechsels in der internationalen Politik und skizziert zum Schluss, welche Konsequenzen sich daraus für die Vereinten Nationen abzeichnen.

Durch diese Methode wird, auch in sehr großen Veranstaltungen, das Üben mit individuellen Bewertungen und individuellem Feedback möglich. Im Wintersemester 2013/14 wurde dieser Ansatz in der Erstsemesterveranstaltung Programmieren an der Technischen Hochschule Nürnberg mit 340 Studierenden als semesterbegleitendes Online-Pflichtpraktikum erprobt. Bei gleichen Leistungsanforderungen wurde bei Studierenden, die erfolgreich am Praktikum teilnahmen, eine Reduzierung der Durchfallquote um durchschnittlich 60 % und eine Verbesserung der Durchschnittsnote um 0,6 – 0,9 Notenstufen erzielt. Zudem lernten die teilnehmenden Studierenden kontinuierlicher, bereiteten Lerninhalte besser nach und gelangten zu einer überwiegend positiven Einschätzung des Praktikums und der Methode. Im E-Learning System Moodle kann Peer Assessment, mit moderatem Umsetzungs- und Betreuungsaufwand, mit der Workshop-Aktivität realisiert werden. Im Beitrag wird auf die Schlüsselelemente des erfolgreichen Einsatzes von Peer Assessment eingegangen.

Given the level of observational detail currently achievable in nearby starbursts, they constitute ideal laboratories to study interaction process that contribute to global evolution in all types of galaxies. Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, as an observational marker of high mass star formation, play a pivotal role and their winds can strongly influence the surrounding gas. Imaging spectroscopy of two nearby (<4 Mpc) starbursts, both of which show multiple regions with WR stars, are discussed. The relation between the WR content and the physical and chemical properties of the surrounding ionized gas is explored.

But what is the root cause for a certain type of object to turn into an emission-line star? In this contribution, I discuss the basic aspects of radiation-driven winds that might reveal the ultimate difference between WR stars and canonical O-type stars. I discuss the aspects of (i) self-enrichment via CNO elements, (ii) high effective temperatures (Tₑff), (iii) an increase in the helium abundance (Y ), and finally (iv) the Eddington factor Γₑ. Over the last couple of years, we have made a breakthrough in our understanding of Γₑ -dependent mass loss, which will have far-reaching consequences for the evolution and fate of the most massive stars in the Universe. Finally, I discuss the prospects for studies of the WR phenomenon in the highest redshift Lyα and He ii emitting galaxies.

Internal consistency reliabilities for each of the five-item scales have typically ranged from .73 to .88 for preservice or inservice technology-using teachers. Due to changing technologies used in education, researchers sought to renovate partially obsolete items and extend self-efficacy assessment to new areas, such as social media and mobile learning. Analysis of 2014 data gathered on a new, 34 item version of the TPSA indicates that the four established areas of email, World Wide Web (WWW), integrated applications, and teaching with technology continue to form consistent scales with reliabilities ranging from .81 to .93, while the 14 new items gathered to represent emerging technologies and media separate into two scales, each with internal consistency reliabilities greater than .9. The renovated TPSA is deemed to be worthy of continued use in the teaching with technology context.

Each of these stars are interesting in their own way, showing a variety of stellar wind structures. The spectroscopic data from this campaign were reduced and analyzed for WR 134 in order to better understand its behavior and long-term periodicity in the context of CIRs in the wind.

June 2015 N2 - The feedback from massive stars is important to super star cluster (SSC) evolution and the timescales on which it occurs. SSCs form embedded in thick material, and eventually, the cluster is cleared out and revealed at optical wavelengths – however, this transition is not well understood. We are investigating this critical SSC evolutionary transition with a multi-wavelength observational campaign. Although previously thought to appear after the cluster has fully removed embedding natal material, we have found that SSCs may host large populations of Wolf-Rayet stars. These evolved stars provide ionization and mechanical feedback that we hypothesize is the tipping point in the combined feedback processes that drive a SSC to emerge. Utilizing optical spectra obtained with the 4m Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory and the 6.5m MMT, we have compiled a sample of embedded SSCs that are likely undergoing this short-lived evolutionary phase and in which we confirm the presence of Wolf-Rayet stars. Early results suggest that WRs may accelerate the cluster emergence.

This effort, undertaken by the Catholic historiography of the mission during the XIX century, is the result of the impulse provided by Alexander von Humboldt’s studies about the discovery of America (Examen critique). The data about the geography of Asia collected by the missionaries-travelers working in the territory between Karakorum and Khanbalik during the XIII e XIV century reaches Christopher Colombus with the mediation of Roger Bacon, whom Humboldt himself esteems as a true cultural mediator. The conclusion of the article tries to identify reasons and modalities of the secularization of the missionary concept, i.e. the shift from the ideal of the propagation of the Christian message to a prevailing interest for cartography and topography, transformations arranged by a late medieval historiography that introduces into martyrolagia the loca toponomastica.

H. T1 - The end stages of massive star evolution BT - WR stars as SN Ibc progenitors JF - Wolf-Rayet Stars : Proceedings of an International Workshop held in Potsdam, Germany, 1.–5. June 2015 N2 - The morphological appearance of massive stars across their post-Main Sequence evolution and before the SN event is very uncertain, both from a theoretical and observational perspective. We recently developed coupled stellar evolution and atmospheric modeling of stars done with the Geneva and CMFGEN codes, for initial masses between 9 and 120 M⊙. We are able to predict the observables such as the high-resolution spectrum and broadband photometry. Here I discuss how the spectrum of a massive star changes across its evolution and before death, with focus on the WR stage. Our models indicate that single stars with initial masses larger than 30 M⊙ end their lives as WR stars. Depending on rotation, the spectrum of the star can either be that of a WN or WO subtype at the pre-SN stage. Our models allow, for the first time, direct comparison between predictions from stellar evolution models and observations of SN progenitors.

T1 - The Distribution of Massive Stars in M101 JF - Wolf-Rayet Stars : Proceedings of an International Workshop held in Potsdam, Germany, 1.–5. June 2015 N2 - 75 WR stars and 164 RSGs are identified in a single WFC3 pointing of our M101 survey. We find that within it's large star-forming complex NGC 5462 WR stars are preferentially located in the core whilst RSGs are found in the halo, suggesting two bursts of star-formation. A review of our WR candidates reveals that only ∼30% are detected in the archival broad-band ACS imaging whilst only ∼50% are associated with HII regions.

T1 - The Discovery and Physical Parameterization of a New Type of Wolf-Rayet Star JF - Wolf-Rayet Stars : Proceedings of an International Workshop held in Potsdam, Germany, 1.–5. June 2015 N2 - As part of our ongoing Wolf-Rayet (WR) Magellanic Cloud survey, we have discovered 13 new WRs. However, the most exciting outcome of our survey is not the number of new WRs, but their unique characteristics. Eight of our discoveries appear to belong to an entirely new class of WRs. While one might naively classify these stars as WN3+O3V binaries, such a pairing is unlikely. Preliminary CMFGN modeling suggests physical parameters similar to early-type WNs in the Large Magellanic Cloud except with mass-loss rates three to five times lower and slightly higher temperatures. The evolution status of these stars remains an open question. Y1 - 2015 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-87766 SP - 101 EP - 104 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Williams, P.

T1 - The colliding-wind WC9+OB system WR 65 and dust formation by WR stars JF - Wolf-Rayet Stars : Proceedings of an International Workshop held in Potsdam, Germany, 1.–5. June 2015 N2 - Observations of the WC9+OB system WR65 in the infrared show variations of its dust emission consistent with a period near 4.8 yr, suggesting formation in a colliding-wind binary (CWB) having an elliptical orbit. If we adopt the IR maximum as zero phase, the times of X-ray maximum count and minimum extinction to the hard component measured by Oskinova & Hamann fall at phases 0.4–0.5, when the separation of the WC9 and OB stars is greatest. We consider WR65 in the context of other WC8–9+OB stars showing dust emission.

Within the last years, this topic is changing tremendously, as its impact on daily life becomes increasingly visible. Nowadays, everyone not only needs to manage data of various kinds, but also continuously generates large amounts of data. In addition, Big Data and data analysis are intensively discussed in public dialogue because of their influences on society. For the understanding of such discussions and for being able to participate in them, fundamental knowledge on data management is necessary. Especially, being aware of the threats accompanying the ability to analyze large amounts of data in nearly real-time becomes increasingly important. This raises the question, which key competencies are necessary for daily dealings with data and data management. In this paper, we will first point out the importance of data management and of Big Data in daily life. On this basis, we will analyze which are the key competencies everyone needs concerning data management to be able to handle data in a proper way in daily life. Afterwards, we will discuss the impact of these changes in data management on computer science education and in particular database education.

In this paper, we discuss in particular how we can investigate the perceptions that individual teachers have of competencies in ICT, and how these and other factors may influence students’ learning. We report case study research which identifies contradictions within the teaching of ICT competencies as an activity system, highlighting issues concerning the object of the curriculum, the roles of the participants and the school cultures. In a particular case, contradictions in the learning objectives between higher order skills and the use of application tools have been resolved by a change in the teacher’s perceptions which have not led to changes in other aspects of the activity system. We look forward to further investigation of the effects of these contradictions in other case studies and on forthcoming curriculum change.

This paper describes how 21st century skills, in particular digital literacy, critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration skills, have been conceptualised and embedded in the resources developed for teachers in iTEC, a four-year, European project. The effectiveness of this approach is considered in light of the data collected through the evaluation of the pilots, which considers both the potential benefits of using technology to support the development of 21st century skills, but also the challenges of doing so. Finally, the paper discusses the learning support systems required in order to transform pedagogies and embed 21st century skills. It is argued that support is required in standards and assessment; curriculum and instruction; professional development; and learning environments.
