Authors: Nordfjörd Björn 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
In 2015 the British Film Institute released the most celebrated Danish films of Carl Theodor Dreyer’s career on Blu-ray discs. This short subject assesses the quality of both the technical presentation of the films and the heterogeneous supplemental material included in the collection. It also draws readers’ attention to other Dreyer films available for home viewing.
feature article: Lurking in the blind space: Vampyr and the multilinguals
Authors: Bigelow Benjamin 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Carl Th. Dreyer’s Vampyr (1932) has been praised as an avant-garde masterpiece that creates a sense of horror by strategically denying the spectator visual access to key turning points in the plot, including most notably the gruesome vampire attacks. Previous scholarship has treated the visual impediments in the film as deriving primarily from a conscious aesthetic strategy on Dreyer’s part to enhance the sense of mystery and terror by undermining the spectatorial gaze. This article links the visual obfuscation in the film instead to Vampyr’s status as a post-synchronized, multilingual sound film, which motivated Dreyer to deny the spectator a view of the actors’ moving lips. I argue that Dreyer turned a production limitation into an artistic virtue by discursively framing the denial of vision as an overall aesthetic strategy, thus effectively ‘masking’ what could otherwise have been viewed as an embarrassing concession to financial constraints.
How to run a sports camp – legally speaking
Authors: Monk Steven , Deutsch Joe 
Published: April 2016

Camps are a great way to keep kids active throughout the summer and to make money for the program sponsoring them. Planning is needed for a sports camp to be safe for both the camp personnel and the athletes, and to minimize legal negligence. Having a risk management plan in place is important to insure that everyone is aware of the risks of participating. Background checks on camp personnel help ensure the camp leaders and coaches do not have a criminal background. It is important to inspect the facilities/equipment to make sure they are safe to use. Athletic trainers help with injuries that may occur with participation. Supervisors make sure that everyone is accounted for and camp rules help the campers behave in an appropriate manner. When planning activities, it is important to look at the skill level of the athletes. If all of these areas are covered, camps should be legally protected if an issue were to arise.

Kooperation auf Augenhöhe
Authors: Marci-Boehncke Gudrun 
Published: April 2016

Zusammenfassung:
Zur Realisierung gelingender Zusammenarbeit zwischen Schulen und Schulbibliotheken bedarf es neben fachlicher Professionalität des Personals, einer pädagogischen und digital-medialen Kompetenz auch persönlicher Führungsqualitäten. Erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit mit der Schuladministration kann nur durch kooperatives und führungsstarkes Management auf beiden Seiten gewährleistet werden. Die Situation des „Offenen Ganztags“ in Deutschland darf sich bei Schulbibliotheken nicht wiederholen. Aus internationaler Erfahrung sollten Konsequenzen für die Kooperation von Lehrkräften und Bibliothekaren in Deutschland gezogen werden. Das „Dortmunder Literaturpädagogik-Zertifikat“ könnte zur Ausbildung von Lehrkräften ggf. ein erster Schritt in diese Richtung sein.
Narrative Zeitkonzeptionen in volkssprachlichen Texten des Frühmittelalters:
Authors: Schwarzbach-Dobson Michael 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
The article describes different conceptions of time in vernacular texts from the Early Middle Ages (Old High German, Old Saxon and Old English texts). Contrary to older research, this study does not primarily focus on discrepancies between the Christian and Germanic content in these texts, but rather it draws heavily on new approaches of research with regard to myth: the contingent structure of time is conveyed in mythical ways of thinking and transferred into narratives. The ›Merseburg Incantations‹, the ›Wessobrunn Prayer‹ and ›Muspilli‹, but also the Old English ›Wanderer‹ devise their own models of mythical time comprehension which alternate between opposing poles, namely beginning and end, life cycle and universal time, and mythical and eschatological time.
Textreihe und Gattungsstrukturen.
Authors: Mohr Jan 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Hugo’s of Montfort texts handed down in an author-commissioned manuscript are characterised by tensions between euphoric and dysphoric notions of the world which were recently described as part of a poetological concept. Complementary, this article aims at the interactions of the single texts arranged in the codex. In focusing on a sequence of songs related to the Tagelied tradition, it is additionally a contribution to the genre-theoretical debate. In this respect, a media-historical aspect shows to be relevant: Since the codex presupposes reading skills, the position of its texts in literary tradition is shaped and altered not only diachronically but also by its textual surroundings.
Reduced bacterial adhesion on titanium surfaces micro-structured by ultra-short pulsed laser ablation

Published: April 2016

Abstract
Implant-associated infections still pose serious problems in modern medicine. The development of fabrication processes to generate functional surfaces, which inhibit bacterial attachment, is of major importance. Sharklet™-like as well as grooves and grid micro-structures having similar dimensions were fabricated on the common implant material titanium by ultra-short pulsed laser ablation. Investigations on the biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus for up to 24 h revealed similarly reduced bacterial surface coverage on all micro-structures investigated compared to smooth titanium surfaces. This study is a prove-of-principle and could serve as basis for further investigations towards a structure-based biofilm-inhibiting implant.

Information system adjustment to a particular data domain can be fully automated, it adds up to the creation of a respective thematic text corpus and an actualization of dictionaries of the knowledge database.
English Vocabulary Acquisition Through Songs in Chinese Kindergarten Students
Authors: Davis Glenn M. , Fan Wenfang 
Published: April 2016

AbstractThis paper reports an empirical study that examined the widespread practice of using songs in language teaching for young learners. The study may represent the first methodologically rigorous assessment of vocabulary acquisition through songs as used in language teaching. Over a seven-week period including fifteen 40-minute classes, three groups of students from two private kindergartens in Beijing were taught five short English phrases of 4-8 words through each of three conditions (songs, choral repetition, control) in a within-subject repeated measures design. Vocabulary acquisition was measured by the number of meaningful morphemes produced by the students in a picture description task administered before and after the teaching period. Results indicated significant acquisition for items learned through songs and choral repetition, but not for control items. The implication is that songs may indeed contain ünportant pedagogical value.
Patterns of Peer Review in an EFL Writing Course in China
Authors: Yu Ding 
Published: April 2016

AbstractPeer review is widely used in writing courses for both practical and pedagogical reasons, but little has been published on the characteristics of Chinese EFL learners’ review patterns. This study aimed to explore the types of peer comments, their distribution, and related factors in a Chinese context. It collected and analyzed in NVivo and SPSS 829 peer reviews, survey data, and students’ writing and reading scores. Results show that more than half of the comments focused on language, one third on social talk, and about ten percent on content and organization. Multiple regression results show that content score, organization score, good attitude, procrastination, and assignment type were related to the distribution and the length of comments, but many other influencing factors are to be revealed in future research.
Policy Autonomy, Coordination or Harmonization in the Persistently Heterogeneous European Union?
Authors: Kouba Luděk , Mádr Michal , Nerudová Danuše , Rozmahel Petr 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Within the context of the continuing integration process in Europe, this paper addresses the question of whether policies in the EU should head towards autonomy, coordination or harmonization. Taking the path dependence effect into account, it is the authors’ opinion that Europe has gone too far in its integration process to be able to continue with policies being fully under the competences of individual member countries. However, the habitual question still arises: does fiscal policy need to be harmonized to a level comparable to monetary policy as these two policies, necessarily, complement each other? This paper argues that it does not. There are three main arguments discussed. Firstly, the authors build on the theory of fiscal federalism. Secondly, there are significantly different regimes of welfare states and extents of social policies among European countries, which strongly determine the character of public finance. And thirdly, the tax systems across Europe are also highly divergent, with many features of continuing tax competition.

Effect of composting plant material with copolyester on quality of organic matter
Authors: Kopeć Michał , Twarowska-Schmidt Krystyna , Gondek Krzysztof 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
The problem of incorporating plastics into the environment will be aggravating, both regarding its scale and kind of these materials. Investigations were carried out using aliphatic-aromatic copolyester poly (succinate-co-glutarate-co-adipate-co-terephthalate 1,4-butylene) with addition of fatty acid dimers. The work aimed to determine the effect of composting the copolyester with plant biomass on changes of fractional composition of humus substances and their stability. Copolyester was supplemented to the biomass in the form of a nonwoven fabric in two doses. It constituted 8 and 16% of the dry mass of the composted substrates. The composting process was run within two ranges of ambient temperature 25-30°C and 40-45°C. After the completion of this process, the degree of material maturing was assessed using manometric methods and the carbon content was analysed in the individual organic matter fractions. On the basis of cumulated respiratory activity AT4 a lack of composted material activity was revealed in the higher temperatures of the process. However, in the objects where copolyester was transformed in the lower temperatures this activity was considerably diversified. Adding copolyester to the composted biomass led to a diversification of the Cha
: Cfa
ratio. The values of Cha
: Cfa
ratio most approximating 1.5, ie the value regarded as optimal, were registered in the object, where copolyester supplement constituted 16% and the plant biomass was maintained within the 40-45°C temperature range.
Clinopyroxene phenocrysts from the Księginki nephelinite
(SW Poland)
Authors: Goleń Marcin , Puziewicz Jacek , Matusiak-Małek Magdalena , Ntaflos Theodoros 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
The Eocene nephelinite from Księginki quarry (SW Poland) contains five types of clinopyroxene
phenocrysts varying by texture and chemical composition. Type I phenocrysts
are formed of Mg-rich (mg# = 0.93–0.88) homogenous cores, patchy mantle and zoned
rims. Abundant type II is less magnesian (mg# = 0.65–0.88) and consists of spongy or
spongy-patchy core surrounded by zoned rims, whilst in type III (mg# = 0.69–0.84), the
cores are massive but patchy. The mg# of cores of type IV phenocrysts is slightly lower
than that of type I (0.79–0.89), but its cores are either massive or patchy. Type V is very
scarce and consist of relatively Mg-poor (mg# = 0.75–0.77) core enveloped by nonpatchy,
sometimes zoned mantle and zoned outer rim. Chemical composition of type
I and type IV cores suggests that they are xenocrysts introduced into the nephelinite
from disintegrated peridotite and clinopyroxenitic xenoliths, respectively. Type V is also
of xenocrystic nature, but its source rock was significantly more evolved than mantlederived
ones. Types II and III are possibly cognates from the host nephelinite or a melt
related to the nephelinite. All the types of phenocrysts suffered from disequilibrium
with the nephelinitic (or proto-nephelinitic) melt or dissolution during adiabatic uplift.
Linear variation in chemical composition of phenocrysts of Księginki nephelinite suggests
its evolution because of fractional crystallisation, without significant influence of
other differentiation processes.
Anti-predator adaptations in a great scallop (Pecten maximus) –
a palaeontological perspective
Authors: Brom Krzysztof Roman , Szopa Krzysztof , Krzykawski Tomasz , Brachaniec Tomasz , Salamon Mariusz Andrzej 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Shelly fauna was exposed to increased pressure exerted by shell-crushing durophagous
predators during the so-called Mesozoic Marine Revolution that was initiated in the
Triassic. As a result of evolutionary ‘arms race’, prey animals such as bivalves, developed
many adaptations to reduce predation pressure (e.g. they changed lifestyle and shell
morphology in order to increase their mechanical strength). For instance, it was suggested
that Pectinidae had acquired the ability to actively swim to avoid predator attack
during the early Mesozoic. However, pectinids are also know to have a specific shell
microstructure that may effectively protect them against predators. For instance, we
highlight that the shells of some recent pectinid species (e.g. Pecten maximus) that
display cross-lamellar structures in the middle part playing a significant role in the energy
dissipation, improve the mechanical strength. In contrast, the outer layers of these
bivalves are highly porous, which allow them to swim more efficiently by reducing the
shell weight. Pectinids are thus perfect examples of animals optimising their skeletons
for several functions. We suggest that such an optimisation of their skeletons for multiple
functions likely occurred as a results of increased predation pressure during the
so-called Mesozoic Marine Revolution.
The Characteristics and Generating Mechanism of Large Precipitates in Ti-Containing H13 Tool Steel
Authors: Xie You , Cheng Guoguang , Chen Lie , Zhang Yandong , Yan Qingzhong 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
The characteristics of large precipitates in H13 tool steel with 0.015wt% Ti were studied. The result shows that three types of phases larger than 1 μm exist in the as-cast ingot, that is, (Ti, V) (C, N) type phase, (V, Mo, Cr)C type phase and sulfide. (Ti, V) (C, N) type phase could be further classified as the homogeneous Ti-rich one and the Ti-V-rich one in which Ti/V ratio gradually changes. (V, Mo, Cr)C type phase contains the V-rich one and the Mo-Cr-rich one. The compositional characteristics in all of them have little relation with the cutting position or cooling rate. The precipitating process could be well described through calculation by Thermo-Calc software. During solidification, the primary phase (Ti, V)(C, N) first starts to precipitate in the form of Ti-rich carbonitride. With the development of solidification, the ratio of Ti decreases and that of V increases. Then the primary phase Ti-V-rich (Ti, V)(C, N) and V-rich (V, Mo, Cr)C appears successively. Mo-Cr-rich (V, Mo, Cr)C phase does not precipitate until the solidification process reaches to the end. Sulfide precipitates before (V, Mo, Cr)C type phase and it could act as the nucleus of (V, Mo, Cr)C.
Is academic performance an indicator for physical fitness?
Authors: Chow Ronald , Midroni Cooper , Hollenberg Drew , Cumner Stuart 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Many studies have investigated whether elevated levels of physical activity and fitness improve academic performance in children, but only a few have examined whether it is physical fitness which varies with academic performance. The purpose of this study was to examine if academic performance is indeed an indicator for physical fitness. For this study, middle school students were recruited for the necessary values and information. The data acquired for academic performance were based off of a public honour roll list distributed within the school community and physical fitness was evaluated via mile-run time, resting, post-active blood pressure and heart rate. There were no differences in proportion across the academic cohorts for any measurements of physical fitness. There was no conclusion such as “students with higher academic performance are less physically fit”; all academic cohorts had relatively similar levels of physical fitness. This may be due to mandatory physical and health education classes, which all students attend; the physical fitness levels are similar due to similar training.
Energetics of Poisson–Kac Stochastic Processes Possessing Finite Propagation Velocity
Authors: Brasiello Antonio , Giona Massimiliano , Crescitelli Silvestro 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
A local fluctuation–dissipation theorem for the power delivered by a stochastic forcing is derived for Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes driven by smooth, i. e. almost everywhere (a. e.)-differentiable stochastic perturbations (Poisson–Kac processes). An analytic expression for the probability density function of the fluctuational power is obtained in the large time limit. As these processes converge, in the Kac limit, toward classical Langevin equations driven by Wiener processes, a coarse-grained analysis of the statistical properties of the fluctuational work is developed.
Retirement privileges of civil servants in the Second Polish Republic
Authors: Jarosz-Nojszewska Anna 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
During the times of the Second Polish Republic the civil servants, teachers, the military, postal and railway workers were not covered by the universal social insurance, because before the social insurance act came into force, they were covered by pension systems guaranteeing more advantageous benefits. Persons working in state administration had a privileged position compared to the employees in general, both in terms of the scope and level of the benefits and their entire coverage by the State. The level of the pensions depended on the years of service and after 10 years of service amounted to 40% and was increasing every year by 2.4% or 3% up to 100%. The civil servants acquired the right to the pension already after 10 years and as of 1934 after 15 years of civil or military service. In special cases they were entitled to pension after 5 years already.
Cryotherapy for Lichen Striatus in an Adult – a Case Report
Authors: Stojanović Slobodan , Jovanović Marina , Vučković Nada 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Lichen striatus (linear lichenoid dermatosis) is an uncommon, self-limited, inflammatory, linear skin condition of unknown origin. The causes of linear distribution are unknown, though the pattern of lichen striatus (LS) mostly follows the lines of Blaschko (BL). The condition most commonly occurs in children between 5 and 15 years of age, usually after the first year of life.
We report a 27-year-old, otherwise healthy flight attendant with LS whose diagnosis was based on: the history of sudden appearance and rapid linear spread of lesions; clinical presentation of small pink, coalescing scaly papules without umbilication or Wickham’s striae, linear distribution following one BL down a lower limb to the ankle, with a band broadening into plaque on the left buttock; histology showed some hyperkeratosis, lichenoid dermatitis similar to lichen planus, but with the presence of inflammatory infiltrate in the papillary dermis and also deeper in the perifollicular region. The inflammatory infiltrate consisted mainly of limphocytes, with some melanophages and histiocytes.
There is no standard treatment for LS, and it is given for cosmetic or psychological reasons only, as we have done in our patient due to slight pruritus and occupational reasons. With regard to her occupational demands, in order to achieve satisfying results, she was successfully treated with cryotherapy, which she tolerated well, without any side effects. Cryotherapy was performed twice, with a two-week interval. Full resolution was achieved twelve weeks after cryotherapy.
In conclusion, we present an adult female who developed lichen striatus suddenly three months after delivery and was successfully treated with cryotherapy.
A short synthesis of pyridines from deprotonated α-aminonitriles by an alkylation/RCM sequence

Abstract

α-Aminonitriles can serve as versatile key precursors for the synthesis of nitrogen containing heterocycles. After unsuccessful trials involving the [1,2]-Stevens rearrangement of nitrile-stabilized ammonium ylides, we herein report a simple three-step synthesis of substituted pyridines based on an alkylation/ring-closing metathesis/aromatization sequence.
