N2  - Die MfS-Untersuchungshaftanstalt in Berlin-Pankow, Kissingenstraße (heutige JVA für Frauen Berlin-Pankow in der Arkonastraße 56, 13189 Berlin) war mit über 58 Zellen und zahlreichen Vernehmungszimmern für etwa 120 Untersuchungshäftlinge vorgesehen. Die Häftlinge waren von der Außenwelt völlig isoliert und wurden meistens nach ihrer mehrmonatigen Untersuchungshaft zu Freiheitsstrafen in DDR-Zuchthäusern verurteilt. Im Rahmen einer wissenschaftlichen Abschlussarbeit wurde dieser Ort politischer Repression als Beispiel ausgesucht, um Haftbedingungen, strukturelle Begebenheiten sowie den alltäglichen Ablauf sowohl für Inhaftierte als auch für MfS-Mitarbeiter im letzten Jahrzehnt der DDR zu untersuchen. Insbesondere die Funktionsmechanismen einer derartigen Haftanstalt und deren möglicher Wandel im Verlauf der politischen Ereignisse stehen im Fokus der Untersuchung. Es wurde versucht, die Maßnahmen der Staatssicherheit anhand des MfS-Aktenbestandes zu rekonstruieren und diese in Verbindung mit den Wahrnehmungen und Handlungen der betreffenden Personen zu bringen. Geostrategische Besonderheiten der Haftanstalt sowie mentalitäts- bzw. alltagshistorische Perspektiven anhand ausgewählter Fallbeispiele vervollkommen das Bild der Untersuchungshaftanstalt als Seismograph der gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse in der DDR der achtziger Jahre. Außen- sowie innenpolitische Ereignisse in den achtziger Jahren versinnbildlichen dabei die Erbebenwellen. Deren Wirkungskraft auf den MfS-Untersuchungshaftvollzug in Berlin-Pankow wurden in dieser Studie der historischen Analyse unterzogen. So stellt diese Studie nicht nur eine reine Bestandsaufnahme der Untersuchungshaft dar. Vielmehr wurde sowohl der Blick auf den DDR-Alltag in den achtziger Jahren gerichtet als auch ansatzweise eine vergleichende Analyse zu den heute bekannten Berliner Erinnerungsorten Hohenschönhausen und Lichtenberg dargelegt.
N2  - This Master thesis deals with the Central and Local Prison Department (Dept. XIV) of the Ministry of State Security (MfS or also known as Stasi) and its effect on everyday life in East Berlin of 1980s. The German Democratic Republic (GDR) seemed like a country of prisons; especially the main MfS service units were responsible for prisons and criminal prosecutions. The territory of the GDR has been divided in a dense network of Stasi detention centers. One of the famous spot was the main remand prison in the district Berlin Hohenschönhausen. Today it is almost known as an important place of remembrance. There were two departments: the Main Investigation Department (HA IX) and the Central Prison Department Headquarters (Dept. XIV), which were directly under the authority of Erich Mielke, Minister of State Security. They supervised and engaged the work of all investigation departments and remand prisons in the 15 local authority areas containing the GDR. The remand prison in Hohenschönhausen was placed within a controlled military area hermetically sealed off from the outside world. The 15 local remand prisons of the MfS were different than this main one in the restricted area. One of them was the local detention center in the North of East Berlin, in Pankow, which was located in the middle of a residential area. Moreover the Pankow prison, built in 1907, can look on a long history of repression and till today it is used as a prison for female criminals, managed by the justice department in Berlin. The research questions, which the master thesis considers, are as follows: Why was this prison in Pankow despite the extraordinary bigger remand prison in Hohenschönhausen such important for the MfS, that they had used it till the collapse in 1989? How was the prison life organized? And finally: What role played the political opposition movement in East Berlin of the 80s in this context, especially in districts like Prenzlauer Berg, Mitte and Pankow? This thesis wants to figure out, how the remand prison in Pankow could be seen as a seismograph for the political situation of the GDR in the 80s. Studying the microcosm of the prison life this historical analysis tries to keep alive the alternative tradition of a history from below. For the scientific examination were consulted public and nonpublic sources of different archives and libraries. For written sources this work has primarily relied on Stasi records from the The Federal Commissioner for the Records of the State Security Service of the former German Democratic Republic (BStU). In addition the author of this thesis has conducted two interviews with a former Stasi employee of the remand prison in Pankow (transcription of these interviews is provided in annex). Finally the internal perspective regarding political prisoners has been shown by their impressive individual reports.

T1  - The contributions of encoding, retention, and recall to the Hebb effect
N2  - The article reports an experiment testing whether the Hebb repetition effectthe gradual improvement of immediate serial recall when the same list is repeated several timesdepends on overt recall of the repeated lists. Previous reports which suggest that recall is critical confound the recall manipulation with retention interval. The present experiment orthogonally varies retention interval (0 or 9 s) and whether the list is to be recalled after the retention interval. Hebb repetition learning is assessed in a final test phase. A repetition effect was obtained in all four experimental conditions; it was larger for recalled than non-recalled lists, whereas retention interval had no effect. The results show that encoding is sufficient to generate cumulative long-term learning, which is strengthened by recall. Rehearsal, if it takes place in the retention interval at all, does not have the same effect on long-term learning as overt recall.

T1  - General relationships between abiotic soil properties and soil biota across spatial scales and different land-use types
JF  - PLoS one
N2  - Very few principles have been unraveled that explain the relationship between soil properties and soil biota across large spatial scales and different land-use types. Here, we seek these general relationships using data from 52 differently managed grassland and forest soils in three study regions spanning a latitudinal gradient in Germany. We hypothesize that, after extraction of variation that is explained by location and land-use type, soil properties still explain significant proportions of variation in the abundance and diversity of soil biota. If the relationships between predictors and soil organisms were analyzed individually for each predictor group, soil properties explained the highest amount of variation in soil biota abundance and diversity, followed by land-use type and sampling location. After extraction of variation that originated from location or land-use, abiotic soil properties explained significant amounts of variation in fungal, meso-and macrofauna, but not in yeast or bacterial biomass or diversity. Nitrate or nitrogen concentration and fungal biomass were positively related, but nitrate concentration was negatively related to the abundances of Collembola and mites and to the myriapod species richness across a range of forest and grassland soils. The species richness of earthworms was positively correlated with clay content of soils independent of sample location and land-use type. Our study indicates that after accounting for heterogeneity resulting from large scale differences among sampling locations and land-use types, soil properties still explain significant proportions of variation in fungal and soil fauna abundance or diversity. However, soil biota was also related to processes that act at larger spatial scales and bacteria or soil yeasts only showed weak relationships to soil properties. We therefore argue that more general relationships between soil properties and soil biota can only be derived from future studies that consider larger spatial scales and different land-use types.
