Die Koloniale Karibik
(2012)
Werden nicht in der Karibik des 19. Jahrhunderts Phänomene und Prozesse vorweg-genommen, die heute erst ins Bewusstsein gelangen? Der Blick auf die kaleidoskopartige Welt der Karibik über literarische und kulturelle Transprozesse in jener Epoche erlaubt völlig neue Einsichten in die frühen Prozesse der kulturellen Globalisierung. Rassistische Diskurse, etablierte Modelle „weißer“ Abolitionisten, Erinnerungspolitiken und die bisher kaum wahrgenommene Rolle der haitianischen Revolution verbinden sich zu einem Amalgam, das unser gängiges Konzept einer genuin westlichen Moderne in Frage stellt.
Die Erfüllung sicherheitsrelevanter Aufgaben, gerade im Bereich der Wasserversorgung, erfolgt immer vor dem Hintergrund des Schutzes der Kritischen Infrastruktur selbst und eines effektiven Bevölkerungsschutzes. Daher erfordert die Organisation des Schutzes eine über die betriebsbezogene Sichtweise hinausgehende überorganisatorische Betrachtung im Gesamtkontext zunehmender Verflechtung und Abhängigkeiten der Organisationen. Die vorliegende Broschüre richtet sich daher insbesondere an kleine und mittlere Betreiber Kritischer Infrastrukturen, insbesondere im Bereich der Wasserversorgung. Diese sollen in die Lage versetzt werden, eine anforderungsgerechte, skalierbare und vor allem ressourceneffiziente Schutzkonzepterstellung durchführen zu können.

Jeder nach seiner Façon
(2012)
Der 300. Geburtstag Friedrich II ist 2012 im Land Brandenburg und der Stadt Potsdam allgegenwärtig. Zahlreiche Veranstaltungen beschäftigen sich mit dem Leben und Wirken des Königs auf vielfältige Art und Weise.
Sein sympathischster Satz „Jeder soll nach seiner Façon selig werden“ – gemäß seiner Religion, war der Anstoß, sich im Jubiläums-Jahr mit Friedrich II abseits touristischer Erlebnisangebote auseinanderzusetzen. Dabei geht es nicht um Friedrich-Exegese, wohl aber um seine Philosophie von Sanssouci und seine politische Theorie.
Den abgekürzten Satz „Jeder nach seiner Façon“ interpretieren wir inzwischen individualistisch. Insbesondere die Versprechen der Urbanität führen zu einer rasanten Verstädterung der Welt, welche noch nie gesehene Herausforderungen an die demokratische Regierbarkeit stellt. Je subjektiver Glück als Abenteuer mit Chancen und Risiken verstanden wird, desto mehr wird urbane Toleranz zu einer eminenten Leistung menschlicher Zivilisation.
Die Verhaltenstugend der Toleranz wird zugleich größer, liberaler und sozialer, je mehr Menschen in großen Städten aufeinander Rücksicht nehmen müssen – Städte sozialisieren. Zugleich mehren sich die Konflikte, die zwar eskalieren, aber auch neue Lebenschancen eröffnen können.
In Deutschland werden die politischen Grenzen der Toleranz vor allem im Umgang mit Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Rechtsextremismus diskutiert. Eine Politik des Hasses und der Gewalt gehört nicht mehr zur Toleranz der Demokratie, die ansonsten vieles integrieren und gleichzeitig verändern kann. Urteilsfähige Bürger halten die Demokratie einer breiten und bündnisbereiten politischen Aufklärung, die Grenzen setzen und Orientierung stiften kann, zusammen.
Das vorliegende Buch von Heinz Kleger nimmt den Satz „Jeder soll nach seiner Façon selig werden“ als Anstoß zum Nachdenken über die historische Bedeutung des Preußenkönigs, seine damalige Gedankenwelt und politische Theorie. Die Selbstinszenierung Friedrich II. als der "große Kümmerer" und volksnahe König spielen dabei ebenso eine Rolle wie seine Philosophie von Sanssouci und sein Verhältnis zur Aufklärung. Kleger stellt den Satz in den Mittelpunkt unserer heutigen Betrachtungen über Toleranz und das Verhältnis von größtmöglicher individueller Freiheit einerseits und Formen Urbaner (Des)Integration andererseits. Dabei geht es um unser Verhältnis in einer liberalen Demokratie zu Herausforderungen der Zuwanderung und Fragen des politischen Extremismus.
In older research literature, the prose epics emerging from the court of Elisabeth of Lorraine and Nassau-Saarbrücken have repeatedly been accused of lacking structure and literariness. By contrast, this article shows that narrative principles of seriality generate the complex structure of the voluminous ›Loher und Maller‹: literary strategies of repetition and variation organize the text on different levels. Recurring narrative structures, thematic constellations and motivations as well as lexical stereotypes are part of this comprehensive principle of seriality. Not triviality and insufficiency, but structural and narrative complexity and lexical accumulation of significance characterize ›Loher und Maller‹.

Die Zukunftswerkstatt wollte wissen, ob Konzepte wie Liquid Democracy (http://liqd.net/) und Plattformen wie Adhocracy (http://code.adhocracy.de/) oder AVAAZ (www.avaaz.org/ de/) konkret für das Bibliothekswesen eingesetzt werden können. Die Beteiligung an der Internet-Enquete Kommission des Bundestages (https://enquetebeteiligung. de/) zeigte, dass die Nutzung im Sinne von gemeinschaftlicher Politikberatung möglich ist. Die »Stop SOPA/PIPA«- und die »Anti-ACTA«-Mobilisierungen belegen, dass Politik immer mehr auf die Bürger eingehen muss – und Social Media mitnichten tot sind. Heike Stadler beschäftigt sich intensiv mit dem Thema »Bürgerbeteiligungen für Bibliotheken« (siehe unter anderem BuB Heft 6/2011, Seite 450). Hier ihr Beitrag für die Zukunftswerkstatt
Während die EU eine schwere Krise erlebt, denkt Russlands Präsident Putin zusammen mit seinen Amtskollegen aus Belarus und Kasachstan laut über die Schaffung einer Eurasischen Union nach. Basierend auf bereits existierenden Organisationsformen im postsowjetischen Raum soll diese Vereinigung zur Brücke zwischen Europa und Asien werden. Welche Hürden dieses Integrationsprojekt überwinden muss und ob das Ganze auf eine Wiederbelebung der UdSSR hinausläuft, analysiert Sergej Birukov. Ergänzt wird das Spezial durch einen Konferenzbericht zum Berliner Eurasischen Klub sowie einem Beitrag zu Kasachstans Rolle bei der Schaffung der ersten kernwaffenfreien Zone in der nördlichen Hemisphäre.
Die vorliegende Arbeit fokussiert auf den fairen Konsum als Teil des ethischen Konsums. Unter fairem Konsum verstehen wir Kaufentscheidungen, die unter Berücksichtigung der Einhaltung fairer Arbeits- und Geschäftsbedingungen bei der Herstellung von Produkten erfolgen. Unter Einsatz einer neu entwickelten Skala zur Messung des fairen Konsumbewusstseins können wir empirisch nachweisen, dass Produkte mit einem Fairtrade-Siegel Konsumenten einen moralischen Zusatznutzen vermitteln können, für den sie bereit sind, einen Mehrpreis zu zahlen.

Inspired by the results from the PISA study and based on previous intervention programs, the reading competence training LEKOLEMO (Program for Fostering Reading Literacy and Reading Motivation) for 7th-grade students was developed. The training differs from existing programs in two aspects: (1) It comprises tasks pertaining to the PISA reading dimensions retrieving information, text-related interpretation, and reflection and evaluation, and (2) explicitly aims at fostering reading motivation. The present study examined the revised version of LEKOLEMO in a sample of 235 seventh graders. The results confirmed the effectiveness of LEKOLEMO and showed significant effects of medium size on reading competence at the follow-up test. However, effects on intrinsic reading motivation and on self-concept of reading were small and unstable.
Currently used costing methods such as cost centre accounting do not sufficiently reflect the process-based resource utilization in medicine. The goal of this study was to establish a process-oriented cost assessment of percutaneous radiofrequency (RF) ablation of liver and lung metastases.
In each of 15 patients a detailed task analysis of the primary process of hepatic and pulmonary RF ablation was performed. Based on these data a dedicated cost calculation model was developed for each primary process. The costs of each process were computed and compared with the revenue for in-patients according to the German diagnosis-related groups (DRG) system 2010.
The RF ablation of liver metastases in patients without relevant comorbidities and a low patient complexity level results in a loss of EUR 588.44, whereas the treatment of patients with a higher complexity level yields an acceptable profit. The treatment of pulmonary metastases is profitable even in cases of additional expenses due to complications.
Process-oriented costing provides relevant information that is needed for understanding the economic impact of treatment decisions. It is well suited as a starting point for economically driven process optimization and reengineering. Under the terms of the German DRG 2010 system percutaneous RF ablation of lung metastases is economically reasonable, while RF ablation of liver metastases in cases of low patient complexity levels does not cover the costs.
The authors propose a model of technology commitment that describes individual differences in the willingness of technology use in terms of three facets: technology acceptance, technology competence, technology control. It is assumed that technology commitment predicts adaptive technology use especially in old age. Data from three studies (N = 825 participants) support the conceptual distinction of the constructs and confirm the psychometric properties of the newly constructed scale. Construct validity was established via correlations with theoretically related constructs (technology use, personality, successful aging, health) as well as concurrently vis-a-vis other measures of technology acceptance.
This paper investigates the role of ability profiles and profiles of vocational interests at the transition from "Realschule" (lower secondary level) into the academic and vocational oriented "Gymnasium" (upper secondary track) school. Based on Guttman's (1954) radex model of cognitive and academic abilities as well as Holland's (1997) circumplex model of vocational interests, we developed statistical models for assessing individual differences in intraindividual profiles. The empirical results underscore the validity of our profile approach. Particularly (1) profiles derived on basis of test scores, grades, and interests were associated with all educational choices under consideration, and (2) decisions for different gymnasia types were systematically and meaningfully associated with individual profile parameters. In addition (3) criterion correlations of interest and ability measures could be explained by individual profile parameters.
In a longitudinal sample of Icelandic children (7.9-12-15 years; n=109) the developmental relations between of control beliefs (locus of control) and school achievement were examined on the background of child rearing practices, socialization conditions, and social class from childhood to adolescence. Results show that supportive and restrictive socialization conditions in social classes affect school achievement as well as the development of control beliefs. Supportive child rearing practices in upper class families encourage the development of internal control beliefs in adolescence, and are coincident with higher school achievement. On the other hand, restrictive child rearing practices appear independent of social class and generally hinder the development of internal control beliefs and positive school achievement. Results of a path model suggest a lagged relationship between school achievement and control beliefs. School achievement in childhood (ages 7 and 9) predicts internal control beliefs in adolescence.
Narration in the late middle ages seriality and complexity in the epic prose "Loher and Maller"
(2012)
This article calls for a holistic perspective on parliamentary change through the analytical lens of parliamentary agenda powers. In addition to agenda control, the concept of agenda powers not only refers to the ability of parliamentary actors to directly influence parliamentary output through legislation (efficiency), but also to exert indirect influence through controlling the government (effectiveness) and through affecting public opinion (legitimacy). The concept of agenda powers comprises the formal institutional rules underlying the distribution of the parliamentary agenda, the factual application of these rules and the organisational powers enabling actors to make use of their time. The distribution of agenda powers can be explained by the sequencing of legitimacy, effectiveness, and efficiency reforms. Consequently, the concept of parliamentary agenda powers allows for a comparative long-term analysis of parliamentary change. Furthermore, the concept of parliamentary agenda powers enables us to operationalise normative scenarios of a de-parliamentarisation and the alleged transitions towards post- or neo-parliamentarian democracy.
Objective: How do patients with severe aphasia perform in the clock test? Methods:Ten patients with severe aphasia performed the clock test in two modes: copy a given clock (copy condition) and set a clock by drawing the clock hands, where a given digital display (11:10) should be transformed into an analogue display (time setting condition). Results: Not a single patient with severe aphasia was able to master any mode of the clock test. Both copy and time conditions were severely impaired by executive, conceptual, motoric visuospatial and apraxic disorders - impairments of language system were only one of numerous influencing factors. Conclusions and clinical relevance:The clock test measures and requires for its execution so many different cognitive, motoric and perceptual functions that it cannot adequately differentiate between patients with severe aphasia and other severe brain damage.
The initial interview is important for psychological counseling regarding the acquisition of diagnostic information and in terms of establishing a professional counseling relationship. In applied sports psychology there so far exist no clear guidelines to structure this process. To improve the quality of sports psychological consultations, the present study introduces and evaluates a semi-structured guideline for an initial interview in which the content and form of the consultation are determined, the concerns of the client are systematically explored, and the objectives of the collaboration and the further process are defined. Eleven sport psychology trainees participated in our study and conducted initial interviews with actors. One interview was conducted by using the initial interview guide and the other interview was created individually by each sport psychology trainee based on his own expertise. The results showed that the quality of the interview process (i.e., formal requirements, use of open questions) as well as the satisfaction of the consultant with the interview was significantly higher when following the guideline. No differences were found regarding the quality of the consultation findings and the satisfaction of the athletes with the interview. The results are discussed with respect to their theoretical and practical implications.
Jorn Knobloch, Between Self-reference and Other-reference: Typology and Transformation of Authoritarianism within the World Society, pp. 35-59. The article offers a conceptual framework for the analysis of the interdependence of the world society and the new authoritarianism. At first the article criticizes existing conceptual approaches and develops a new approach, which will use the assumptions of the systems theory. In the next part we discuss different theoretical impacts of the world society and the possible reactions of the authoritarianism. The third part evaluates the theoretical reactions. Therefore we use the empirical case of Russia. The empirical investigation of the approach permits the development of a conceptual framework for the further empirical research of the new authoritarianism.
According to gender and labor market research, differentiation of male and female work is not primarily grounded in specific tasks but rather rooted in male and female features attributed to work. In this paper, the effects of classification patterns are related to the categories used in occupational statistics. According to this argument statistical patterns contribute to gradual processes of inclusion into society by categorizing people. Put more precisely, this process of "making up people" (Hacking 1986) is conflated with gendered views of persons. This conceptual conflation is examined in the historical context of emerging occupational statistics, social sciences, and law in Germany around 1900. Inasmuch as statistical observation differentiated between economically productive and non-productive work, gendered distinctions were deeply encoded in its categories. These distinctions were institutionalized by means of the social scientific definition of role models as well as legal codification. In the conclusion, the sociology of knowledge approach followed in this paper is extended toward a discussion of broader questions of inclusion and gender inequality. In order to explain the persistence of gendered classifications in the organization of work in society, further gender inequality research needs to account for the enduring social evidence and symbolic relevance of sex classifications at the meso and macro levels.
Intra- and interrater variability of sonographic investigations of patella and achilles tendons
(2012)
Background: Clinical examinations of tendon disorders routinely include ultrasound examinations, despite the fact that availability of data concerning validity criteria of these measurements are limited. The present study therefore aims to evaluate the reliability of measurements of Achilles- and Patella tendon diameter and in the detection of structural adaptations.
Materials and Methods: In 14 healthy, recreationally active subjects both asymptomatic Achilles (AT) and patella tendons (PT) were measured twice by two examiners in a test-retest design. Besides the detection of anteroposterior (a.p.-) and mediolateral (m.l.-) diameters, areas of hypoechogenicity and neovascularisation were registered. Data were analysed descriptively with calculation of test-retest variability (TRV), intraclass-correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland and Altman's plots with bias and 95% limits of agreement (LOA).
Results: Intra- and interrater differences of AT- and PT-a.p.-diameter varied from 0.2 - 1.2 mm, those of AT- and PT-m.l-diameter from 0.7-5.1 mm. Areas of hypoechogenicity were visible in 24% of the tendons, while 15% showed neovascularisations. Intrarater AT-a.p.-diameters showed sparse deviations (TRV 4.5-7.4%; ICC 0.60-0.84; bias -0.05-0.07 mm; LOA-0.6-0.5 to -1.1 - 1.0 mm), while interrater AT- and PT-m.l.-diameters were highly variable (TRV 13.7-19.7%; ICC 0.11-0.20; bias -1.4-4.3 mm; LOA-5.5-2.7 to -10.5 - 1.9 mm).
Conclusion: Our results suggest that the measurement of AT- and PT-a.p.-diameters is a reliable parameter. In contrast, reproducibility of AT- and PT-m.l.-diameters is questionable. The study corroborates the presence of hypoechogenicity and neovascularisation in asymptomatic tendons.
Background: Several equipment interventions like optimizing seat position or optimizing shoe/insole/pedal interface are suggested to reduce overuse injury in cycling. Data analyzing clinical or biomechanical effects of those interventions is sparse. Foot orthoses out of carbon fiber are one possibility to alter the interface between foot and pedal. The aim of this study was therefore to analyze plantar pressure distribution in carbon fiber foot orthoses in comparison to standard insoles of commercially available cycling shoes. Materials and Methods: 11 pain-free triathletes (Age: 29 +/- 9, 1.77 +/- 0.04 m, 68 5 kg) were tested on a cycle ergometer at 60 and 90 rotations per minute (rpm) at workloads of 200 and 300 Watts. Subjects wore in randomized order a cycling shoe with its standard insole (control condition CO) or the shoe with carbon fiber foot orthoses (Condition CA). Mean peak pressure out of 30 movement cycles were extracted for the total foot and specific foot regions (rear, mid, fore foot (medial, central, lateral) and toe region). Three-factor ANOVAs (factor foot orthoses, rpm, workload) for repeated measures (alpha = 0.05) were used to analyze the main question of a foot orthoses effect on peak in-shoe plantar pressure. Results: Peak pressures in the total foot were in a range of 70-75 kPa for 200 Watts (W) (300 W: 85-110 kPa). The carbon fiber foot orthoses reduced peak pressures by -4,1% compared to the standard insole (p = 0,10). In the foot regions rear(-16,6%, p<0.001), mid (-20,0%, p<0.001) and fore foot (-5.9%, p < 0.03)CA reduced peak pressure compared to CO. In the toe region, peak pressure was higher in CA (+16,2%) compared to CO (p<0,001). The lateral fore foot showed higher peak pressures in CA (+34%) and CO (+59%) compared to medial and central fore foot. Conclusion: Carbon fiber can serve as a suitable material for foot orthoses manufacturing in cycling. Plantar pressures do not increase due to the stiffness of the carbon. Individual customization may have the potential to reduce peak pressure in certain foot areas.
In this paper we estimate the effect of tuition fees on the intentions of high school graduates in Germany to enroll in higher education. Based on representative survey data collected by the HIS institute between 2002 and 2008, we are able to analyze the effect of tuition fees using a quasi-experimental design. We take advantage of the variation between the German federal states in the introduction of tuition fees to examine the impact of tuition fees and employ a difference-in-differences estimation strategy. We do not find empirical evidence that tuition fees lower the intentions to enroll in higher education among high school graduates. This holds true for both the whole sample and for different subgroups, such as women or high school graduates with no family background of higher education.
The majority of the annually accumulated 9 million t of organics in municipal solid waste is recycled. Amongst the technological options composting is most important. 15% are treated by digestion and result in both biogas as a renewable energy source and organic residues. Compost contains considerable amounts of minerals and organic carbon which can substitute fertilizers including organic compounds. Application of compost for the reproduction of humus in soils is its most important effect. Scientifically, the applicability of the humus balancing method developed by VDLUFA is proven. It balances input and output of organic carbon during cultivation and harvest. Optimum level of humus which is a specific fixed value for each type of soils is therefore realized. An energy humus index is proposed, which may indicate preferred usage of organics as fertilizer or renewable energy source.
Da die Gruppe der Reichen in Deutschland immer größer wird, ist es wichtig zu fragen, was mit dem Reichtum getan wird. Denn reich sein legitimiert sich auch dadurch, dass sich Menschen verantwortlich für gesellschaftliche Belange zeigen. Verantwortlichkeit drückt sich u. a. durch zeitliches oder finanzielles Engagement aus. Befunde zum philanthropischen Handeln zeigen, dass sowohl der Anteil an Personen, die sich engagieren, als auch das Ausmaß des Engagements in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten gestiegen ist. Jedoch ist in der deutschen Literatur im Unterschied zur amerikanischen bisher wenig darüber bekannt, in welchem Umfang sich Bevölkerungsgruppen engagieren, die über hohe finanzielle Ressourcen verfügen. Zudem gibt es kaum Kenntnisse darüber, wer sich auch über den Tod hinaus für die Gesellschaft engagiert, wer also neben der Familie gesellschaftlichen Belangen finanzielle Unterstützung zukommen lässt. Anhand der Daten der Studie „Vermögen in Deutschland“ (ViD) geht der Beitrag diesen beiden Fragen für das Jahr 2008 nach. Die Befunde zeigen ein wesentlich über dem Bevölkerungsdurchschnitt liegendes Engagement reicher Haushalte und Personen. Zudem beabsichtigen 41 % aller Befragten, nach dem Tod einen Teil ihres Vermögens gemeinnützigen Zwecken zur Verfügung zu stellen.
The present paper investigates potential fiscal and distributional effects which emerge due to four reform scenarios on the German income tax rate. The analysis is based on a static simulation model for the German tax system using income tax micro-data. The data shows that changing the present progressive tax system to a flat-tax, which was proposed by the FDP in 2010, could reduce the tax revenue by 15 billion Euro. Such a tax regime would increase the unequal distribution and polarisation of net incomes. The IW Koln suggested an alternative tax rate in 2008. This regime would increase unequal distribution and polarisation of disposable incomes to a greater extent than the FDP-tax rate. An implementation of this income tax scale would go along with losses in tax revenue of 18.8 billion Euro. Likewise, the implementation of a 2009 SPD tax rate proposal would reduce tax revenue by 14.8 billion Euro. Although this regime would reduce unequal distribution, the effect on the polarization of disposable incomes is not definitely predictable. In contrast to all the other scenarios, the realisation of the recent SPD tax rate proposal from 2011 could enlarge tax revenue by 4.7 billion Euro. This tax regime would reduce unequal distribution and polarisation of disposable incomes even more than the present tax system.
Dietary records are often biased, especially those of overweight individuals. The purpose of the study was to investigate underreporting among persons of normal weight with a very high energy intake (El).
The total energy expenditure (TEE) of 16 elite athletes (BMI 24 +/- 2 kg/m(2)) and 17 controls (BMI 23 3 kg/m2) was measured using the doubly-labeled water technique (DLW, 14d). El was estimated using 2 x 3-day dietary records. Underreporters were identified by BLACK'S cut-off (El:TEE < 0.76). 44% of athletes (El: 3584 824 kcal/d; TEE: 4621 1460 kcal/d) and 29% of controls (El: 2552 680 kcal/d; TEE: 3151 822 kcal/d) were identified as underreporters. TEE explains 52% of underreporting. In summary, a high energy intake seems to strongly predict underreporting. Prevalence and magnitude of underreporting increase with increasing energy intake.
This article distinguishes methodological problems in quality evaluation and measurement in two policy fields, namely higher education and public broadcasting. Both are characterized by similar external and internal basic conditions and are thus suitable for comparative research. The difficulties of quality measurement and evaluation are discussed with respect to three main features: (1) definition of quality, (2) operationalization of quality and (3) interpretation of quality. Furthermore the identified difficulties in both areas are not always the same, because they depend on different research criteria. Thus the debates of quality measurement and evaluation in higher education and public broadcasting can learn from each other and increase the understanding of quality measurement in general. In addition the comparative design provides opportunities for the development of methods and perspectives.

The present study provides a review of the published ectoparasitic species of European bats. On the basis of own researches in Germany, the abundance of each parasite was analysed. For every bat species the community of the dominant parasites and the quality of the host-parasite relation were summarized. Part 2 is concerned with the ectoparasites of the Greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis myotis), of the Lesser mouse-eared bat (Myotis blythii), of the Long-fingered bat (Myotis capaccinii), of the Whiskered bat (Myotis mystacinus), and of the Natterer`s bat (Myotis nattereri).

Der Beitrag verbindet zwei medienlinguistisch relevante Perspektiven: die mediengeschichtliche und die medienaesthetische. Beleuchtet wird ein Presseerzeugnis der DDR, die Publikumszeitschrift "Filmspiegel", im Hinblick auf kreatives Handeln von Journalisten, das eine spezielle aesthetische Textqualität hervorgebracht hat: Originalität. Eingebettet in einen handlungstypologischen Rahmen, in dem Typen und Arten kommunikativen Handelns nach ihrer Bindung an spezifische kommunikative Zwecke voneinander abgehoben sind, wird die Relationierung journalistischer Situierungs-Handlungen mit der aesthetisierungs-Handlung ORIGINALISIEREN textsorten- und schlagzeilenbezogen im Zeitraum von 1954 bis 1990 exemplarisch untersucht.
