Corsi e ricorsi della scultura altomedievale italiana: reimpieghi e rivisitazioni tra Otto e Novecento
Authors: Destefanis Eleonora
Published: October 2024

Starting from a historiographical analysis that highlights the rising, between the last decades of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, of a strongly innovative glance at sculptural materials dating from the first centuries of the Middle Ages, the paper focuses on the revival of these artefacts in the Contemporary Age. They were often discovered and recovered during restorations, sometimes quite invasive, involving Late Antique and Early Medieval religious buildings in an attempt to bring back to life their hypothetical “original moment”. This process led sometimes to complete reconstructions of liturgical enclosures, ambos, canopies and altars. In other cases, these items were enhanced through a cultured reuse, sometimes in private contexts (villas or noble chapels), or they even became part of new liturgical furnishings, in which they were reassembled with a function that was often different from the original one, a practice that still continues throughout the 20th century. These reuses/revisitations of Early Medieval sculpture in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries represent interesting and refined clues to understanding an aspect, perhaps minor but not marginal, of the reworking of the Early Medieval past in contemporary times.
Una probabile riproduzione omayyade del Santo Sepolcro di Gerusalemme
Authors: Fontana Maria Vittoria
Published: October 2024

The Jordan Archaeological Museum in ʿAmman houses an Islamic copper alloy incense burner, which can be dated to the late 7th or early 8th century according to its discovery (in the late 1940s) in an Umayyad dwelling in the ʿAmman Citadel in Jordan. It is one of the earliest Islamic examples of a metal incense burner in an architectural form, namely a shape that spread widely later in the Seljuk Iranian area. The hypothesis is put forward here that it is a rare Islamic 'reproduction' of the Anastasis rotunda of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem before its destruction in 1009 by the Fatimid al-Ḥākim bi-Amr Allāh. An intended use is suggested as a “votive” object of Islamic (or even Christian?) manufacture intended for a Christian user in the eclectic milieu of the bilād al-shām of the Umayyad period.
Il cantiere di restauro, luogo di formazione e di educazione
Authors: Marino Luigi
Published: October 2024

Archaeologists and architects: areas of communication, collaboration and conflict: this is the title of a speech by Philip Rahtz that after a few decades can constitute a useful starting point for reflections on the collaborations that can (should) be activated in a restoration site when, not infrequently, the interventions move mainly in accordance with theoretical models that have few and uncertain references with the surviving material traces. On the other hand, excavation campaigns are often carried out without adequate attention to protection actions (preventive, during and after) despite knowing that the excavation will set in motion degenerative mechanisms which in turn will cause other damage which will be aggravated by the state of abandonment in whose sites and monuments will be left behind. The relationships of collaboration and sharing that are established in a restoration site could facilitate the development of a sense of belonging and mutual responsibility.
Ricerche archeologiche recenti nelle città medievali della Puglia centrale. Il caso di Canosa e Bari
Authors: Nuzzo Donatella
Published: October 2024

The contribution intends to present the study of an unpublished fragment of an inscribed ciborium, found during excavations conducted in 2001 by the then Archaeological Superintendence for Puglia in the area of the former Historical Museum, near the Basilica of San Nicola. Between the end of the 9th century and in the 11th century this sector of the city of Bari (which has been the subject of our research for years) welcomed the structures of the Byzantine administration, the Praetorium, a fortified citadel located inside of the urban space and overlooking the sea, including, in addition to the Catapano palace, an environment for the troops, housing and craft structures, small cultivated fields, cemetery areas and several churches. The small ciborium, whose text presumably came from one of them written seems to refer to a space with a baptismal function.
La stele di Hatiay a Cortona
Authors: Rosati Gloria
Published: October 2024

The stele, donated to the Museum of the Etruscan Academy of Cortona by Monsignor Guido Corbelli in 1894, was already described in the catalog of the Egyptian collection by Giuseppe Botti, in 1955. It belongs to a typology well known during the New Kingdom, with a depiction of solar boat in the lunette, fragmentary, and a hymn to the rising Sun, inscribed on five horizontal bands. Compared to the first edition, it is possible to integrate some expressions into the hymn, but above all the reading of two signs depicting divinities in the title of the owner, Hatiay, must be corrected. In this way, it can be connected to a group of high dignitaries of the first half of the 19th dynasty, and it is at least possible to identify him with a Hatiay of the same name who has very similar title
A Conjoint Analysis of Student Preferences for Teaching and Learning Process

Published: October 2024

Assessments carried out by education quality monitoring institutions often ignore student assessments, the results of which are not relevant to what students need. Therefore, the assessment of the teaching and learning process must be carried out transparently and accountable by involving students in the assessment of teaching and learning process. Actions like this are nothing more than an effort to adapt the teaching and learning process to student needs. This descriptive research aims to explain students' preferences for the quality of teaching and learning. A total of 65 prospective biology teachers were respondents, consisting of 17 students in 1st semester, 23 (3rd semester), 7 (5th semester), and 18 (7th semester). From the results obtained, our respondents consider that increasing competence is the most essential attribute or factor related to the teaching and learning process, with an important value percentage of 21.931. Then, teaching organizations (19.901) and learning opportunities (19.662). We use this information regarding student preferences as a guide to improving the teaching and learning process in the future while still correcting several existing deficiencies, such as involving active student participation and providing maximum academic assistance, as well as allowing students to develop their thinking abilities.

Published: October 2024

Background: Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) are prevalent complications following surgeries, especially after major abdominal procedures like emergency laparotomies. In resource-limited settings such as Bangladesh, effective strategies to reduce SSIs are crucial for improving patient outcomes. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of subcutaneous suction drains versus simple skin closure in reducing postoperative SSIs in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy in Bangladesh. Method: A prospective, case-control study was conducted at the Department of Surgery, Jalalabad Ragib-Rabeya Medical College & Hospital, Sylhet, Bangladesh, from June 2023 to July 2024. A total of 100 patients undergoing midline exploratory laparotomy were randomly assigned to either the case group (subcutaneous suction drain) or the control group (simple skin closure). Data on demographics, co-morbidities, and surgical outcomes were collected. The primary outcome was the incidence of SSIs, with secondary outcomes including hospital stay duration and other complications. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 22. Results: The SSI rate was significantly lower in the subcutaneous suction drain group (10%) compared to the simple skin closure group (42%). The average hospital stay was also significantly shorter for the subcutaneous suction drain group (8.84 days) versus the simple skin closure group (11.20 days). Co-morbidities such as hypertension and diabetes showed no significant difference between groups. Conclusion: The use of subcutaneous suction drains significantly reduces the incidence of SSIs and shortens hospital stays after emergency laparotomies. These findings support the implementation of subcutaneous suction drains as a beneficial practice in surgical management, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Published: October 2024

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of visual impairment in premature neonates. Early-onset neonatal sepsis, has been identified as a potential contributing factor to the incidence of ROP. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity in early onset neonatal sepsis. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Ophthamology and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Dr. Sirajul Islam Medical College & Hospital Ltd., Dhaka, Bangladesh from June 2022 to July 2024. Total 300 preterm neonates with ROP were included in this study. Then, they were divided into two groups- group A: 150 patients with early onset neonatal sepsis and group B: 150 patients with late onset neonatal sepsis. Result: The mean gestational age in Group A was significantly lower (28.9 ± 2.3 weeks) than Group B (30.1 ± 2.2 weeks) (p < 0.01). Maternal infections were higher in Group A (50%). Oxygen therapy duration was longer in Group A (14 ± 3 days) than in Group B (10 ± 2 days) (p < 0.01). Group A had more cases of ROP (70% vs. 57%, p = 0.02). Risk factors for ROP included gestational age <28 weeks (OR = 2.10), oxygen therapy (OR = 1.60), and mechanical ventilation (OR = 1.45). Conclusion: This study concludes that neonates with early-onset neonatal sepsis had higher incidence and severity of ROP, with key risk factors being low gestational age, prolonged oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and maternal infections.

Authors: Teigland Christie , Pulungan Zulkarnain , Bruhn David , Hwang Steve
Published: October 2024

Background: Agitation in Alzheimer dementia is common, but the associated healthcare burden remains unclear. Objective: This retrospective analysis evaluated baseline characteristics, healthcare resource utilization, and costs among patients with agitation in Alzheimer dementia and those without agitation in Alzheimer dementia. Methods: Medicare beneficiaries from 100% of the Medicare Fee-for-Service claims database (2009-2016) with 2 or more claims 30 or more days apart for both Alzheimer’s disease and dementia and continuous enrollment with medical/pharmacy coverage for 6 months before and 12 months after the index diagnosis were included. Patients with agitation in Alzheimer dementia were identified by 2 or more claims 14 or more days apart using International Classification of Diseases-9-CM/-10-CM codes based on the provisional International Psychogeriatric Association agitation definition. Patients with severe psychiatric disorders were excluded. Two cohorts of patients (with and without agitation) were then defined, and patient characteristics, healthcare resource utilization, and costs were compared in a descriptive exploratory analysis. Results: Of 2 684 704 Fee-for-Service patients with Alzheimer dementia, 769 141 met all inclusion criteria; among these, 281 042 (36.5%) had agitation. The mean age in patients with and without agitation in Alzheimer dementia was 83 years. Most patients in both groups were female, but the proportion of males was slightly higher in the agitation in Alzheimer dementia group (30.3% vs 28.2%, respectively). Patients with agitation in Alzheimer dementia were more likely than those without agitation in Alzheimer dementia to have lower socioeconomic status (dual eligibility for Medicaid, 45.0% vs 41.7%, respectively) or be disabled (10.5% vs 9.4%). Overall, healthcare costs were higher in the agitation in Alzheimer dementia population compared with those without agitation in Alzheimer dementia (mean cost PPPY, $32 322 and $30 121, respectively), with the largest differences observed in inpatient and post-acute care costs. Conclusions: These exploratory findings underscore the substantial economic burden of agitation in Alzheimer dementia and highlight the need for treatment options for the agitation in Alzheimer dementia population to improve associated health outcomes.

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as principais complicações associadas à cirurgia bariátrica e seus impactos na vida dos pacientes. O presente estudo se justifica pela complexidade da cirurgia bariátrica, que acarreta não apenas mudanças físicas, mas também significativas alterações psicológicas e nutricionais. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura. A busca dos estudos foi realizada na Scientific Electronic Library Online  (Scielo), Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs) e a Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline). Para a devida definição dos descritores e seus sinônimos foram selecionados de acordo com o Decs (Descritores de Ciências da Saúde): obesidade, cirurgia bariátrica; manejo de complicações. A cirurgia bariátrica se apresenta como uma opção viável para indivíduos com obesidade mórbida, especialmente quando os métodos tradicionais de redução de peso não são bem-sucedidos. As técnicas derivativas e não derivativas oferecem diferentes abordagens para a redução de peso, cada uma com suas vantagens e desvantagens. É crucial considerar não apenas a perda de peso, mas também as melhorias nas comorbidades associadas à obesidade ao avaliar o sucesso da cirurgia bariátrica.
ALIMENTAÇÃO SAUDÁVEL: UMA ABORDAGEM PARA PREVENÇÃO DE DOENÇAS CRÔNICAS - REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA
Authors: Nascimento Dailson Silva do , Silva Carla Fregona da
Published: October 2024

A alimentação saudável é considerada um fator importante na prevenção das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT’s), como diabetes tipo 2, hipertensão e doenças cardiovasculares. Estas condições têm aumentado significativamente nos últimos anos, entre outros fatores, pelo consumo excessivo de alimentos ultraprocessados, que são ricos em açúcares, gorduras saturadas e sódio, mas pobres em nutrientes essenciais. O estudo realizado trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com o objetivo de destacar a relevância da alimentação saudável como uma abordagem preventiva contra as DCNT’s. A coleta de dados foi realizada em bases de dados como PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e SCIELO, incluindo artigos publicados entre 2019 e outubro de 024, nas línguas portuguesa e inglesa. A partir dos 10 artigos selecionados, observou-se que uma alimentação baseada em alimentos minimamente processados e dieta a base de vegetais pode reduzir significativamente o risco de DCNT’s e melhorar a qualidade de vida. A promoção de uma alimentação saudável desde a infância e a conscientização sobre os riscos do consumo de ultraprocessados se mostram estratégias essenciais para a prevenção de doenças crônicas e a promoção da saúde pública.

The ductus arteriosus (CA) is an important vessel responsible for redirecting blood from the right ventricle to the descending aorta in the fetus. At birth, the AC undergoes physiological stimuli, causing the vessel to constrict. Some congenital heart diseases are caused by malformations in the structures of the heart resulting in cardiovascular hemodynamic dysfunction, among them the most common is patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), which is the difficulty in closing the ductus arteriosus in newborns. The aim of this article is to scan the medical literature to gain a detailed understanding of the pathophysiology of PDA in order to develop effective diagnostic strategies and appropriate therapeutic approaches. An integrative literature review was carried out, using databases as search engines and defining descriptors in order to filter the data. Thus, the review of these articles shows a relationship between patent ductus arteriosus and gestational age, especially at gestational ages of less than 28 weeks. The prevalence is due to the structural and functional immaturity of the ductus arteriosus, which remains open to supply the fetal circulation, thus requiring intervention and effective approaches, which should follow a step-by-step protocol, capable of evolving from pharmacological treatment to surgical procedure. The choice must be compatible with the patient's clinical conditions for a good clinical outcome.

This study investigated the attitudes of female teachers (N = 169) toward the educational inclusion of children in kindergarten within the Sultanate of Oman. A Digital survey was conducted to gather insights into the teachers’ perspectives across two domains: the learning environment (LE) and the Impact of Early Inclusion in Kindergarten (IEIK). The results indicate that teachers demonstrate strong support for the inclusion of children with disabilities in kindergarten, underscoring the importance of establishing a conducive learning environment. This includes recommendations for increasing the number of teachers, modifying school infrastructure, and adapting curricula to accommodate the diverse abilities of all students. A comparative analysis of the two domains reveals a greater endorsement among teachers for issues related to the physical environment over those pertaining to the non-physical environment. The study concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings. Keywords: Educational Inclusion, children with disabilities, Oman, Kindergarten, teachers’ attitudes
The Territorial Space of Green Transition / Transitioning from One Territorial System to Another through Nature-based Solutions - The Case of Finiq Municipality
Authors: Muka Rea
Published: October 2024

Climate change has been recognised by many, be it nations or international organizations, as an existential threat to the world. In this context, the EU has introduced the European Green Deal, with the aim of transforming the continent into a modern, climate- neutral, resource-efficient, and competitive economy. In this scenario, the goals set by the EU are: no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050; economic growth decoupled from resource use; no person and no place left behind. The new growth strategy of the EU was also recognized by the Western Balkan Countries (nonmembers of the EU) through the Sofia Declaration in November 2020, acknowledging the need for transformation of the region to turn sustainability and resilience challenges into opportunities and transpose elements of the European Green Deal in all interrelated priority sectors. Those sectors are represented by five main pillars: Climate, energy, mobility; Circular economy; Depollution; Sustainable agriculture and food production; and Biodiversity. Even though it is a multi-sectorial approach, it does not directly address the territorial aspect. The territory is rather seen as a common dominator of the five pillars. This resizes the question, what is the spatial domain of green transition in a given territory?
In the Albanian context, after the territorial reform of 2014, the territory was consolidated into 61 municipalities. In the framework of the General Local Plans, each municipality cat- egorized its territory into five main territorial systems: Urban; Nature; Agriculture; Water; and Infrastructure. Through the case of Finiq Municipality, we will further analyze the complexity of territorial systems in a given territory. For the purpose of analysis, a buffer of 1 km was ap- plied to the territory of Finiq Municipality (Bistrica River Basin) where the predominance of a territorial system over another and the mixture of them was evaluated. After this evaluation, an operational framework was conceptualized using the most relevant documents related to climate change, from the international level to the local level, that are pertinent to the case of Finiq Municipality.
Taking into account the evidenced framework of green transition for the selected area, it is easier to propose effective nature-based solutions to be implemented in the transitional space between territorial systems. This was done by analyzing the concept of nature-based solutions, at first, and by reviewing case studies that deal with similar societal challenges as the ones identified in Finiq Municipality.
The main focus will be the area surrendering the Bistrica River, for the simple fact that it flows from the east, where we find a high predominance of the natural landscape, to the west where a predominance of human activity is more evident. Through the river, we will illustrate the unfolding of what was explained above.
The Potential of Building Information Modeling in Agricultural Operations
Authors: Rizzi Dario
Published: October 2024

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been widely adopted in the construction industry, providing a virtual representation of physical objects and systems. In the context of agriculture, BIM can be applied to monitor and manage the physical and operational characteristics of farms and agricultural facilities using BIM digital twins. A BIM digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object or system that is based on data from BIM models and other sources. The integration of sensors is essential in creating a BIM digital twin as they provide real-time data that can be used to update and maintain the virtual representation. The use of BIM digital twins in agriculture has the potential to improve the management of agricultural facilities, reduce environmental pollution, and promote the sustainability of agricultural land. Sensors can be used in agriculture to monitor various parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient levels. BIM digital twins can also be used to monitor and manage sources of pollution, such as the use of pesticides and fertilizers, and to develop strategies to minimize their impact on the environment. BIM digital twins provide a comprehensive view of the condition of agricultural land and the factors that influence it, such as weather patterns, industry activities, and human activities. 4D BIM is an extension of traditional 3D BIM that adds a time dimension to the model. In the context of agriculture, 4D BIM can be used to visualize and simulate various processes related to time and soil management, such as planting and harvesting cycles, and to evaluate the impact of different planting strategies on crop yields. 4D BIM can also be used to model the impact of weather patterns on crop growth and to develop contingency plans for weather- related events. The use of BIM in agriculture has the potential to transform the industry by providing a new level of insight and control over agricultural operations. BIM models can be used to simulate and visualize different scenarios for agricultural facilities, such as the use of water, fertilizer, and energy, leading to improved efficiency and reduced waste. By using BIM to optimize operations, agricultural companies can increase their productivity and profitability. The integration of BIM digital twins and 4D BIM in agriculture has the potential to revolutionize the industry by providing new tools for monitoring and managing agricultural operations. The use of BIM digital twins and 4D BIM can help reduce environmental pollution, promote sustainability, and improve the efficiency and productivity of agricultural operations. Testing is needed to fully understand the potential benefits of BIM and BIM digital twins in agriculture and to develop best practices for their implementation.
Deutsche Formen der Appellative zur Bezeichnung des ,,Gerbers“ im Polnischen, Ukrainischen und Belarussischen des 15. bis 17. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Pyts Taras
Published: October 2024

Bereits im Spätmittelalter waren mehrere Handwerke auf die Herstellung von Leder spezialisiert, wodurch eine große Zahl von Synonymen entstand, die auf den in Mitteleuropa gebräuchlichen Herstellungsverfahren beruhten, mit denen zwecks Lederherstellung Haare oder Felle
von der Haut getrennt wurden. Die wesentlichen Gruppen von Gerbern waren: a) die Rotgerber (auch Lohgerber, Loher, Lauer, Lederer), die mit Lohe, die aus Eichen- oder Fichtenrinde gewonnen wurde, arbeiteten und schweres Leder für Sohlen, Schuhe oder Sattel erzeugten; b) die Weißgerber,
die mit Salz und Alaun arbeiten und leichtes Leder (Schaf, Ziege, Kalb) für Bekleidung herstellten; c) die Sämischgerber (auch Ircher, Irher), die durch Walken mit Fett und Tran wasserdichtes Leder auf dieselbe Art wie Weißgerber herstellten; d) Spezialberufe wie Schwarzfärber
(oder Rußgerber), die schwarzes Leder, Rotlöscher (oder Rotlascher, Löschmacher), die rotes Leder, Korduangerber (auch Korduaner, Corduaner, Kurdewanner), die feines Leder (Ungarisch- oder Juchtenleder) erzeugten, sowie die Pergamenter, die ohne Gerbprozess Pergament aus Tierhäuten
produzierten (Reith 1991: 84; Ebner 2015: 239). In vielen mittelalterlichen Texten kommt aber die Abkürzung gerber vor, die nicht immer einem bestimmten Handwerksverfahren zugeordnet werden kann und als allgemeine Bezeichnung für Gerberberufe betrachtet wird.
Zur Wortschatzentwicklung im Ukrainischen und Deutschen in Zeiten des russisch-ukrainischen Kriegs

Published: October 2024

Die Entwicklung der Sprache, insbesondere ihres Wortschatzes, steht unter dem starken Einfluss gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen und aktueller politischer Ereignisse, die nicht nur zur Entstehung von Wortneuschöpfungen, sondern auch zum Aushandeln von neuen Bedeutungen führen.
Gerade in Krisenzeiten gewinnt dieses Thema an besonderer Aktualität, da sich die Lösung von alten Weltanschauungen oder traditionellen Denkweisen in der Sprache manifestiert und somit die bereits existierenden Wörter dem Bedeutungswandel, der sich als Bedeutungserweiterung,
-verschlechterung oder -verbesserung erweisen kann, häufiger unterliegen.

Protagonisten in die Niederungen des Alltags versetzte, sodass er ihm jedes mythische Überhöhungspotential nahm und um sein dichterisches Anliegen beraubte. Die bestens über Hölderlin informierte Kritik hat besonders diese größtenteils herbeiprojizierte und sich
etwa in schwerem schwäbischem Dialekt äußernde Alltagsnähe an Härtlings Roman bemängelt. Schließlich war Hölderlin ein Dichter, der seine Daseinsbestimmung in einer Dichtung zu realisieren versuchte, die den flüchtigen und seelisch niederdrückenden
Alltag aus ihren formalisierten und sprachlich höchst anspruchsvollen Göttergefilden ausschloss. Nicht aus Bildungsdünkel, sondern aus der Not heraus, sich anders nicht mit der hinderlichen Realität arrangieren zu können, über die es ihn hinaustrieb, wie der Dichter
selbst beklagte. Härtling wiederum war als Autor abgesichert durch die poetische Lizenz: hatte er doch kein Sachbuch geschrieben, sondern einen Roman. Dennoch stellte sich die Frage: Wozu das Ganze? Warum diesen Roman lesen, wenn man schlicht Hölderlins Dichtung lesen kann?

Über Heine und Frankreich ist schon so viel geschrieben worden (man denke nur an die zahlreichen Schriften von Michel Espagne, Gerhard Höhn, Joseph Kruse, Michael Werner…), dass es schwer ist, eine neue Perspektive zu gewinnen. Die Autorin der hier vorliegenden Dissertation
(entstanden an der Universität Freiburg, betreut von Weertje Willms und Werner Frick) versucht dies auf zweifache Weise. Erstens durch die Konzentration auf den Korpus des lyrischen Werkes. Zweitens dadurch, dass dem Widerspruch nachgegangen wird, der zwischen Heines aufklärerischer
Haltung – den Deutschen Frankreich verständlich zu machen und umgekehrt – und der häufigen Verwendung von Stereotypen bei der Beschreibung von ,,Franzosen“ und ,,Deutschen“ zu liegen scheint.

Michael Ende (1929–1995) war als Jugendbuchautor wohl bis in die späten achtziger Jahre einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit im deutschsprachigen Raum bestens bekannt. Seine populären Werke Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer (1960), Momo (1973)
und Die unendliche Geschichte (1979) begleiteten Generationen von Kindern und Jugendlichen, vor allem durch ihre frühe mediale Umsetzung in Fernsehen, Film und Theater, aber sie waren auch internationale Erfolge, wurden in über 40 Sprachen übersetzt. Ende verfasste jedoch
auch Theaterstücke und Opernlibretti, Sachbücher und Werke jenseits der Jugendliteratur, und dies mit besonderen poetischen Ansprüchen, wie Der Spiegel im Spiegel: Ein Labyrinth (1983), eine surrealistische Sammlung von Erzählungen. Die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung
mit ihm war lange Zeit jedoch eher spärlich.
Einführung in das Rahmenthema

Für viele Jahre herrschte in Deutschland der Glaube von der uneingeschränkten Freiheit der Wissenschaft – es gäbe keinen Zwang und keine Direktiven für denjenigen, der mit entsprechender Kompetenz und mit Fleiß sich seinem Fache widmete. Dies hat sich
mittlerweile als Irrglaube herausgestellt, wird jedoch nur selten thematisiert. Zu groß sind heute die Zwänge, die den Forschern allerdings nicht durch thematische Vorgaben auferlegt, sondern durch die Förderpraxis oder gar Regeln für die Weiterbeschäftigung bestimmt
werden. Die Arbeitsbedingungen, denen die Geisteswissenschaftler allgemein und die Germanisten im Besonderen auf nationaler wie auf internationaler Ebene unterworfen sind, weisen große – unausgesprochene – Unterschiede auf, und um diese soll es in diesem Rahmenthema gehen.
Förderung und Bewertung der Forschung im geisteswissenschaftlichen Bereich in Spanien1
Authors: Lamelas Montserrat Bascoy

Die Förderung wissenschaftlicher Exzellenz ist eines der Ziele der Europäischen Kommission. Mit dem Rahmenprogramm Horizont Europa soll insbesondere das Hauptziel ,,Erzielung wissenchaftlichen, technologischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Impacts der EU-Investitionen für
Forschung und Innovation durch Stärkung der wissenschaftlichen und technologischen Grundlagen der EU, sowie durch Förderung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit aller Mitgliedstaaten“ verfolgt werden2. Dieses allgemeine Ziel steht hinter dem Konzept einer pluralistischen
und internationalen Universität, die für Qualität und Projektion der Forschung auf die Gesellschaft sorgt, indem sie ihre Fähigkeit unter Beweis stellt, Synergien zwischen der akademischen Welt und dem Alltagsleben der europäischen BürgerInnen zu schaffen. Um
dieses Ziel zu erreichen, hat die spanische Universität u.a. stark auf die Internationalisierung der Forschung und auf Qualität gesetzt. Insbesondere in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten haben die Akkreditierungsagenturen, die für die Prüfung von Lehre und Forschung zuständig
sind, eine zentrale Rolle gespielt. Die spanischen Universitäten haben Qualitätsmanagementstrategien übernommen und umgesetzt. Zu den Zielen der Universität Alcalá gehört beispielsweise die Erhöhung des Forschungspotenzials unter Berücksichtigung des
,,Bedarfs an Unterstützung und Förderung der Forschung“ und der Verbesserung der Dienstleistungen3. Zu den Werten, auf denen diese Politik basiert, gehören Qualität, Innovation, Exzellenz und internationale Verbreitung der Forschungsergebnisse, wobei letzteres
Konzept als Förderung der Rekrutierung und Gewinnung von Talenten durch internationale finanzielle Unterstützung mit dem Ziel der Förderung der Reichweite und Wirkung von Publikationen verstanden wird.
Zu den Arbeitsbedingungen in der polnischen Germanistik
Authors: Sauerland Karol

In der Volksrepublik Polen war die Zahl der Studenten an den einzelnen Fachrichtungen limitiert. So bewarben sich am Ende der 1980er Jahre bis zu 400 Personen zum Germanistikstudium an der Warschauer Universität, aber es durften keine hundert aufgenommen werden. Als die Wende kam,
wurde der Numerus clausus (vom Ministerium war für jede Studienrichtung die Zahl der Studienberechtigten vorgegeben) nicht aufgehoben, dagegen wurden Abend- bzw. Fernstudiengänge eingerichtet, die im Gegensatz zu dem regulären Studium nicht gebührenfrei waren. Sie erfreuten
sich trotzdem einer großen Nachfrage. In den 1990er und Nullerjahren machte die Zahl der Abend- und Fernstudenten etwa 50 % aller eingeschriebenen Studentinnen und Studenten aus. Mit einem Universitätsstudium hatte das Ganze wenig gemein. Es erinnerte eher an ein System von
Schulungskursen. Aber für die Universitäten bedeuteten sie eine wichtige finanzielle Spritze und die Lehrenden konnten einiges zu ihren recht geringen Gehältern hinzuverdienen. Hinzu kamen die zahlreich neu gegründeten Universitäten, die über kein Personal verfügten.
Für Lehrende mit Professorentitel bildete dies eine große Gelegenheit, ihre Geldbörse zu füllen. So manche, zumeist aus dem alten Parteikader, fuhren von Universität zu Universität und kamen auf das Dreifache ihres Grundgehalts. Viel Hochstapelei war dabei.
Beiträge ukrainischer Germanistik zur internationalen Germanistik: Zusammenarbeit trotz aller Herausforderungen

Die neue Phase des russischen Kriegs gegen die Ukraine seit 24. Februar 2022 hat nicht nur die Existenz des ukrainischen Staates gefährdet, sondern auch das Leben seiner Bürger zerstört. Der Krieg kostete tausenden Zivilisten ihr Leben und zwang Millionen
von Menschen zur Flucht in andere Regionen der Ukraine oder ins Ausland. Trotz extremer Herausforderungen musste das Land blitzschnell auf den Krieg umgestellt werden. Das betraf nicht nur die Wirtschaft, sondern auch alle Bereiche des sozialen Lebens.
Nachruf auf Anil Bhatti (1944–2023)
Authors: Mazumdar Shaswati
Published: October 2024

Anil Bhatti, Professor für Germanistik an der Jawaharlal Nehru University, Neu Delhi, ist nach langer Krankheit im Oktober 2023 gestorben. Der Verlust, den sein Ableben für die Germanistik in Indien bedeutet, lässt sich schwer ausdrücken. Aber auch in der intellektuellen
Welt über die Germanistik und über Indien hinaus fanden seine Beiträge zur Kulturtheorie große Aufmerksamkeit. Er wurde mehrfach ausgezeichnet und lehrte an mehreren Universitäten in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz wie auch in anderen Teilen der Welt.
Kennzeichnend für seine Denkweise war der universelle Ansatz, den man in den heutigen finsteren Zeiten, in denen beschränkte Partikularinteressen den Ton angeben, oft vermisst.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterized by its infiltrative growth pattern and high recurrence rate despite treatment. While local progression within the central nervous system (CNS) is the rule, manifestations outside the CNS, particularly skin and subcutaneous metastases, are very infrequent and seldom reported in the literature. The authors reviewed the current understanding of this rare condition, with the main purpose of giving visibility to its clinical presentation and prognostic implications, thus improving clinical management and encouraging research in this area. A PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE search from database inception through March 2024 was conducted. In this way, we compiled a total of thirty-five cases in our review. As far as we know, our work gathers the largest number of patients with this condition. Remarkably, we observed that the typical presentation of soft-tissue high-grade glioma metastases is the finding of subcutaneous erythematous nodules in patients previously operated on for a primary CNS tumor, within the craniotomy site and nearby, mostly in the first year after the initial surgery. It was also noted that there is a trend of developing a concomitant CNS recurrence and/or other metastases in different locations, either simultaneously or subsequently. From here, we propose some possible mechanisms that explain the extracranial spread of GBM. We concluded that a poor outcome is expected from the diagnosis of skin and subcutaneous metastases: the mean overall survival was 4.38 months. Yet, assessing individual characteristics is always mandatory; a palliative approach seems to be the best option for the majority of cases.
