Abstract. The aim of this study is to investigate the shallow thermal field differences for two differently aged passive continental margins by analyzing regional variations in geothermal gradient and exploring the controlling factors for these variations. Hence, we analyzed two previously published 3-D conductive and lithospheric-scale thermal models of the Southwest African and the Norwegian passive margins. These 3-D models differentiate various sedimentary, crustal, and mantle units and integrate different geophysical data such as seismic observations and the gravity field. We extracted the temperature–depth distributions in 1 km intervals down to 6 km below the upper thermal boundary condition. The geothermal gradient was then calculated for these intervals between the upper thermal boundary condition and the respective depth levels (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 km below the upper thermal boundary condition). According to our results, the geothermal gradient decreases with increasing depth and shows varying lateral trends and values for these two different margins. We compare the 3-D geological structural models and the geothermal gradient variations for both thermal models and show how radiogenic heat production, sediment insulating effect, and thermal lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (LAB) depth influence the shallow thermal field pattern. The results indicate an ongoing process of oceanic mantle cooling at the young Norwegian margin compared with the old SW African passive margin that seems to be thermally equilibrated in the present day.

Previous research has indicated that executive function (EF) is negatively associated with aggressive behavior in childhood. However, there is a lack of longitudinal studies that have examined the effect of deficits in EF on aggression over time and taken into account different forms and functions of aggression at the same time. Furthermore, only few studies have analyzed the role of underlying variables that may explain the association between EF and aggression. The present study examined the prospective paths between EF and different forms (physical and relational) and functions (reactive and proactive) of aggression. The habitual experience of anger was examined as a potential underlying mechanism of the link between EF and aggression, because the tendency to get angry easily has been found to be both a consequence of deficits in EF and a predictor of aggression. The study included 1,652 children (between 6 and 11 years old at the first time point), who were followed over three time points (T1, T2, and T3) covering 3 years. At T1, a latent factor of EF comprised measures of planning, rated via teacher reports, as well as inhibition, set shifting, and working-memory updating, assessed experimentally. Habitual anger experience was assessed via parent reports at T1 and T2. The forms and functions of aggression were measured via teacher reports at all three time points. Structural equation modeling revealed that EF at T1 predicted physical, relational, and reactive aggression at T3, but was unrelated to proactive aggression at T3. Furthermore, EF at T1 was indirectly linked to physical aggression at T3, mediated through habitual anger experience at T2. The results indicate that deficits in EF influence the later occurrence of aggression in middle childhood, and the tendency to get angry easily mediates this relation.

Der Band enthält die Vorträge, welche anlässlich der Verabschiedung von Detlev W. Belling in den Ruhestand gehalten wurden:
Der Beitrag des Ministers der Justiz von Ungarn, László Trócsányi, befasst sich mit dem Thema Demokratie, Identität und Rechtsstaat – die europäische Integration und die Mitgliedstaaten. Entwickelt wird eine Vision der Europäischen Union, die statt auf fortschreitender Zentralisierung stärker auf einer gleichberechtigten Kooperation der Mitgliedstaaten basiert. Die nationalen Verfassungsidentitäten sollen als unentbehrliche Bestandteile der nationalen Souveränität nicht der europäischen Integration geopfert werden. Vor allem der Grundsatz vom Vorrang des Unionsrechts wird in diesem Zusammenhang kritisch hinterfragt. „Integrationswut“ gelte es zu verhindern. Die Rechtsstaatlichkeit einzelner Mitgliedstaaten dürfe durch die Union nicht infrage gestellt werden.
In seiner Abschlussvorlesung geht Detlev W. Belling der Frage nach, ob und inwieweit die Ausübung der Gnadenbefugnisse durch die Gnadenträger in einem säkularen und republikanischen Rechtsstaat der gerichtlichen Kontrolle unterliegen sollte. Detailliert werden in diesem Zusammenhang nicht nur die bisherige Rechtsprechung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts und das breit gefächerte Meinungsspektrum der Literatur abgebildet. Anhand einer Vielzahl von Beispielen aus der ferneren und unmittelbaren Geschichte wird die Entwicklung des Gnadenrechts nachgezeichnet. Missbrauchsgefahren, wie sie nicht nur kennzeichnend für Diktaturen und Monarchien sind, werden aufgezeigt. Die Erkenntnisse aus der historischen Darstellung aufgreifend, wird anhand einer umfassenden Analyse der geltenden Rechtslage nachgewiesen, aus welchen Gründen die Konstitutionalisierung des Begnadigungsrechts geboten ist.
