description: John McDowell hat eine einflussreiche Interpretation von Wittgensteins Überlegungen zum Regelfolgen vorgelegt. Wenn Regeln einer Interpretation bedürfen, bricht die Unterscheidung von richtigen und falschen Anwendungen zusammen, denn jede Anwendung lässt sich durch eine geeignete Interpretation mit der Regel in Einklang bringen, es sei denn, man akzeptiert einen metaphysisch unattraktiven Platonismus. Wenn Regeln naturalistisch durch bloße Verhaltensregularitäten rekonstruiert werden, geht der normative Begriff der Richtigkeit verloren. Nach McDowells Überzeugung kann nur die Auffassung, Regeln würden von einer Praxis getragen, die einem direkten Zugang zu ihnen ermöglicht, dieses Problem lösen. Es soll untersucht werden, ob er damit Wittgenstein gerecht wird, und inwieweit er eine haltbare Position bietet.

description: This close replication of Levinger & Clark (1961) reinterpreted their finding lower recall for associates to emotional than to neutral stimuli. It used mood congruence (better memory for material congruent with prevailing mood) and self-schema (self-based organizing cognitive structure), adding factors of subject mood, and dysphoric and pleasant stimuli. Unexpected cued-recall followed depressed and nondepressed undergraduates giving associates to twenty each neutral, dysphoric, and pleasant adjectives. The expected mood congruence was not found. Primary findings agreed with Levinger & Clark (1961) and replications. Also found were an overall memory effect--subjects high on both pathologies recalled fewer associates to all words--and a relationship between high anxiety and lowered neutral material recall. Anxiety's unique cognitive effect, and the cognitive restructuring due to chronic depression hypothesized to be needed before this task could show a mood congruence effect were discussed.
title: Sozialer und kultureller Wandel der Sexualität
Creators: name: Kahrer, Bettina
Year: 2013

description: Der Sexualdiskurs der westlichen Industriestaaten unterliegt seit jeher einem anhaltenden Wandel, welcher durch kulturelle und soziale Einwirkungen in der Gesellschaft beeinflusst wird. Auch in der Literatur hinterließ der Sexualdiskurs Spuren verschiedener Art. Als Grundlage für die vorliegende Arbeit diente die Sexualratgeberliteratur für Jugendliche. Anhand von sechs Büchern, welche im Zeitraum von 1968 bis 2012 entstanden sind, wird aufgezeigt, inwiefern der kulturelle und soziale Wandel des Sexualdiskurses auf die ratgebende Literatur einwirkte. Aus der Gliederung des Sexualdiskurses ergaben sich dabei drei Diskursstränge: ͵Sexuelle Liberalisierungʹ, ͵Genderequalisationʹ und ͵Neosexuelle Revolutionʹ. Als methodisches Verfahren wurde die Historische Diskursanalyse nach Achim Landwehr gewählt und nach seinen theoretischen Auslegungen ein Erhebungsinstrument erstellt. Mit Hilfe dessen konnten ausgewählte Inhalte der Bücher analysiert und maßgebende Prozesse herauskristallisiert werden. Im Zuge der Analyse konnten etliche bedeutende Erscheinungen des Sexualdiskurses aufgezeigt werden. Mit dem Erstarken der Homosexuellenbewegung, der Medialisierung der Sexualität, der Integration des Sexuallebens der Jugendlichen in das Familienleben sowie der Gewährleistung von Verhütungsmitteln seien nur einige Grundlegende genannt. Allerdings wurden manche Erscheinungen nicht in dem Ausmaß beziehungsweise nicht in der Weise dargestellt, wie im Vorfeld der Analyse angenommen wurde. Dennoch zeigen die erzielten Ergebnisse auf, dass der Sexualdiskurs die Sexualratgeberliteratur für Jugendliche maßgeblich beeinflusste.
description: Since time immemorial, the sexual discourse of the industrialized countries has been subjected to continuing change, influenced by cultural and social impacts of society. The sexual discourse influenced various kinds of literature as well. Guidebooks on sex written for adolescents were taken as a basis for this diploma thesis. With the help of six books, which were published between 1968 and 2012, it is demonstrated how the cultural and social change of the sexual discourse had an effect on the guidebooks on sex. Three lines of discourse resulted from the classification of the researched period: ͵Sexuelle Liberalisierungʹ, ͵Genderequalisationʹ and ͵Neosexuelle Revolutionʹ. Based on the ͵Historische Diskursanalyseʹ by Achim Landwehr a methodical instrument was chosen to analyze selected contents and to determine relevant processes. In the course of the analysis a few relevant phenomena of the sexual discourse were illustrated. The empowerment of the gay movement, the medialization of sexuality, the integration of the sexual life of adolescents in family life and the availability of contraceptives are just a number of the most significant ones. Some of the anticipated phenomena were not depicted in the expected way as anticipated prior in the analysis. However, the results of the analysis demonstrate an import influence of the sexual discourse on guidebooks on sex for adolescents.

description: Meine These lautet, dass praktische Gründe vom Begriff des praktischen Schlusses her zu verstehen sind. Um das zu zeigen, knüpfe ich an die gängige Unterscheidung zwischen explanatorischen und normativen praktischen Gründen an und erläutere erstere als die Prämissen von faktisch vollzogenen praktischen Schlüssen. Normative Gründe erkläre ich sodann als Prämissen von guten praktischen Schlüssen, d.h. solchen, in denen die Prämissen stimmen und die Konklusion aus ihnen formal folgt.

description: Das Thema der Sprachförderung an österreichischen Schulen ist im letzten Jahr heftig diskutiert worden. Im Jänner 2013 war Sprachförderung das Hauptthema bei der Veröffentlichung des „Nationalen Bildungsberichts“ für das Jahr 2012.In der vorliegenden Arbeit geht es um das Thema der Sprachförderung und wie man die Situation von Migrantenkindern in Österreich diesbezüglich verbessern kann. Ich habe mich entschlossen, das neue österreichische Projekt Mehr Sprachkompetenz, mehr Zukunft zu untersuchen. Als Grundlage habe ich das deutsche Modellprogramm FörMig herangezogen und durch den Vergleich der beiden Projekte habe ich Überlegungen dazu angestellt, wie das österreichische Projekt evaluiert werden könnte. Was muss evaluiert werden und wie? Als Grundlage dafür diente die Evaluation des Modellprogramms FörMig.

description: University symphony orchestras contribute to colleges and universities in the United States by providing educational musical experiences which give cultural enrichment to students, faculty, and the community. A survey was made of a cross-section of universities and their orchestras based on size, geographical location, and with private or public support. The survey focused on levels of orchestra participation, funding, and activities, and the results showed that the average number of orchestra participants is 63 and the average orchestra budget is $10,700 per year. Conclusions drawn from the survey showed that university orchestra funding primarily comes from the university and that the orchestra funding levels directly affect the number of orchestra concerts, tours, and other activities. University orchestra participation and funding levels were compared with many factors such as university enrollment and budget, music department enrollment and budget, and number of music faculty. The survey results provide information about orchestra conductors and show that the salary of the orchestra conductor correlates to the music department and orchestra budgets, and the average salary is shown to be $36,126.00.

description: In Japan, workers are mainly employed through two different systems: traditional membership-style employment, characterized by lifetime commitment and seniority-based promotions, and Western job-style employment, which focuses on workers’ expertise and performance-based advancement. Today, membership-style employment is increasingly viewed as socially unsustainable and the rising controversy demands an alternative like job-style employment. I explore the complexity of the school-to-work transition in Japan, investigating whether the academic abilities of recent graduates in Japan differ by their employment style. Applying a theoretical framework incorporating university massification, signaling theory, and human capital theory, I conducted an OLS regression analysis using the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) 2013. The results indicate that university graduates’ academic ability is statistically significantly lower for those employed through membership-style employment relative to job-style employment. This finding stimulates further debate on Japan’s optimum employment system and the social value of higher education in the 21st century.

description: Nach Kant sind "pathologische" Gefühle hinsichtlich ihres Gegenstandsbezugs stets indifferent. Zwar sind sich Scheler und Kant darin einig, dass sittliche Werte einen apriorischen Status besitzen. Scheler kritisiert jedoch an Kant die Gleichsetzung des Apriorischen mit dem Vernünftigen, was bei ihm in eine radikale Forderung eines "Apriorismus des Emotionalen" mündet. Dennoch wird Scheler in seiner Theorie einer "materialen Wertethik" der Kantischen Moral- und Gefühlslehre nur bedingt gerecht.

description: During the PROBE Cost action, international collaboration made possible an extensive use of new dataset from field experiments and new tools developed towards the assimilation of ground-based remote sensing. New tools have also been developed in order to get an easier access to dataset from different instruments at several instrumented sites in Europe. In this report, the section 2 provides recommendations for the assimilation of observations sensitive to thermodynamic properties. This section aims at reviewing the minimum requirements for data assimilation and long-term reanalysis of temperature and humidity products. This review should help to identify necessary developments needed to foster data assimilation of temperature and humidity products from ground-based remote sensing and UAVs or identify solutions to coordinate a more extensive use of already existing products. In section 3, the development of new tools to access different datasets over Europe with standardized and harmonized data processing are presented. These tools should ensure a high level of quality control to create a multi-parameter dataset easily usable by the scientific community. These developments are necessary to enhance the use of ground-based surface networks over Europe for several key applications: evaluation of numerical weather prediction, climate change monitoring, process studies, satellite CAL/VAL activities.
title: Der Einfluss von Synchronfassungen auf die Charakterisierung und die Auswirkung auf die Rezeption
Creators: name: Kurzmann, Judith
Year: 2013

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Frage beantwortet, inwiefern die Erstellung einer Synchronfassung Einfluss auf die Charakterzeichnung von Figuren hat und ob sich etwaige Unterschiede auf die Rezeption auswirken. Untersuchungsgegenstand ist die Sitcom The Big Bang Theory mit ihrer deutsch- und italienischsprachigen Synchronfassung. Im ersten Kapitel wird die Serie selbst vorgestellt, da im Verlauf der Arbeit immer wieder darauf Bezug genommen wird. Das nächste Kapitel ist den funktionalen Translationstheorien gewidmet, welche die theoretische Grundlage für die vorliegende Arbeit bilden. Beim Untersuchungsgegenstand handelt es sich um eine Serie, genauer gesagt um eine Sitcom, weshalb im dritten Kapitel auf die Charakteristika und den Aufbau der Sitcom eingegangen wird. Im nächsten Teil wird das Thema Synchronisation genauer betrachtet. Darunter fallen u.a. eine Erläuterung des Begriffs Synchronisation selbst und der unterschiedlichen Arten von Synchronisation. Außerdem wird der Synchronisationsprozess und die Schritte, die für die Erstellung einer Synchronfassung notwendig sind, beschrieben sowie die daran beteiligten Personen. Das fünfte Kapitel ist der Charaktersynchronisation gewidmet. Hier werden die Aspekte, die einen Charakter ausmachen, beschrieben. Des Weiteren werden mehrere Figuren aus The Big Bang Theory vorgestellt und im Hinblick auf die in diesem Kapitel angeführten Aspekte untersucht und mit der deutsch- und italienischsprachigen Synchronfassung verglichen. Abschließend wird auf die Rezeption von Sitcoms eingegangen und die Rezeptionsbedingungen von Sitcoms erläutert. Außerdem werden die Rezeption und der Erfolg von The Big Bang Theory in den USA, im deutschsprachigen Raum und in Italien beleuchtet.

description: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of short-term workplace-based physical activity education on altering sitting outcomes, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) and occupational well-being. Four office clusters (46 participants) of desk-based workers were randomized to either the move in office with education (MOWE) group or the control (CONT) group for 4 weeks. The outcomes were occupational sedentary time, VO2max and workplace well-being. Data were analysed using non-parametric tests. Our study results did not show any significant change in sitting time or VO2max. Nevertheless, workplace well-being of the MOWE group significantly improved when compared to the CONT group, especially in the domains of work satisfaction (odds ratio 11.67; p = 0.001) and employer care (odds ratio 0.167; p = 0.001). Workplace education (MOWE) improves well-being but may not alter sitting outcomes or VO2max in office workers. Workplace education without policy change may not yield positive health outcomes.
A comparative survey of community bands and community orchestras in Maryland and Virginia

description: Community bands and orchestras continue to grow in numbers and improve in quality. There is a need, however, for communication among community bands and orchestras since they encounter similar challenges and can benefit from shared information. By surveying area community orchestras and bands in the Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC area, problems specific to this metropolitan area were discovered. This thesis surveyed the community bands and orchestras in Maryland and Virginia, obtaining current information and exploring the resemblances of the two groups. Though respondents felt there were not many similarities between the community band and orchestra, the answers proved differently. Both ensembles experience comparable challenges and seek parallel goals. Community bands and orchestras have much to learn and share. Both endeavor to offer musical experiences to musicians and community for the purposes of enjoyment and self-satisfaction.
title: Mythos Elektra
Creators: name: Riegler, Christina
Year: 2013

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Elektra-Darstellungen bei Hugo von Hofmannsthal und Gerhart Hauptmann. Unter Einbeziehung der antiken literarischen Vorlagen von Aischylos, Sophokles und Euripides, des zeitgenössischen Antikenbildes und der Zeitgeschichte soll den außergewöhnlichen Konzeptionen von Hofmannsthals Elektra und Hauptmanns Atriden-Tetralogie mit Hilfe der literaturwissenschaftlichen Methode des close-readings auf den Grund gegangen werden. Für beide Autoren sollen daher persönliche Reflexionen, Notizen und Tagebucheinträge sowie im Falle Hauptmanns vorangegangene literarische Publikationen herangezogen werden, um das Antikenbild der beiden Literaten und ihre Sicht auf die Figur der Elektra zu untersuchen. Im Hinblick auf die Prinzipien der Treue und des Vergessens sollen bei Hofmannsthal die Handlungsmöglichkeiten der Familienmitglieder und besonders die der Tochter Elektra, die ohne die Hilfe ihrer Eltern weittragende Entscheidungen treffen muss, offengelegt werden und es soll analysiert werden, welche Folgen diese Handlungsweisen für das Leben der Protagonisten haben. Nach der Besprechung einiger ausgewählter Thematiken wie der Sexualität oder Elektras Isolation wird versucht, eine mögliche Interpretation von Hofmannsthals Tragödie herauszuarbeiten. Bei Hauptmann soll vor allem die Bedeutung des Schicksals näher beleuchtet werden, das es der Atriden-Familie unmöglich macht, eigene Entscheidungen zu treffen, eine völlige Determination des Lebens verursacht und Elektra zum Medium mythischer Mächte macht. Den Abschluss der Arbeit bildet ein Vergleich der beiden Elektren von Hofmannsthal und Hauptmann, der Unterschiede aber auch Gemeinsamkeiten aufzeigen soll.

description: We examine spatial convergence in biological well-being in the Habsburg Monarchy circa 1890-1910 on the basis of evidence on the physical stature of 21-year-old recruits disaggregated into 15 districts. We find that the shorter was the population in 1890 the faster its height grew thereafter. Hence, there was convergence in physical stature between the peripheral areas of the monarchy (located in today's Poland/Ukraine, Romania, and Slovakia) and the core (located in today's Austria, Czech Republic, and Hungary). The difference between the trend in the height of the Polish district of Przemysl and the Viennese trend was about 0.9 cm per decade in favor of the former. But the convergence among the core districts themselves was minimal or non-existent, whereas the convergence among the peripheral districts was more pronounced. Hence, spatial convergence took place exclusively within the peripheral areas, and between the peripheral regions and the more developed ones. The pattern is somewhat reminiscent of modern findings on convergence clubs in the global economy. However, the East-Central European pattern was the reverse of this modern finding: heights converged to the levels of the developed regions, but did not converge among the more developed regions themselves.

description: We implement the Rawlsian thought experiment of a veil of ignorance in the laboratory which introduces risk and possibly social preferences. We find that both men and women react to the risk introduced by the veil of ignorance. Only the women additionally exhibit social preferences that reflect an increased concern for equality. Our results for women imply that maximin preferences can also be derived from a combination of some, not necessarily infinite risk aversion and social preferences. This result contrasts the Utilitarians' claim that maximin preferences necessarily represent preferences with infinite risk aversion.
title: Übersetzung von Filmtiteln in Italien
Creators: name: Deo, Giulia Erica
Year: 2014

description: Der Titel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit lautet: Die Übersetzung von Filmtiteln in Italien: das Verhältnis zwischen Genre und Übersetzungsstrategie. Im Zuge dieser Arbeit werden 360 englische Filmtitel und deren jeweilige italienische Übersetzungen, die im Zeitraum 2009 bis 2011 in den USA und in England produziert und nach Italien exportiert wurden, untersucht. Die Arbeit hat die Beantwortung der folgenden Fragen zum Ziel: Inwieweit beeinflusst das Filmgenre die Übersetzungsstrategie bei Filmtiteln in Italien? Sind allgemeine Tendenzen bzw. Normen erkennbar? Die vorliegende Arbeit weist zwei Teile auf: einen theoretischen und einen empirischen. Im Laufe des theoretischen Teils wird eine Reihe teilweise höchst unterschiedlicher Theorieansätze erläutert. Der Schwerpunkt des theoretischen Rahmens liegt auf der Betrachtung des Ansatzes der Descriptive-Translation-Studies-Schule. In diesem Zusammenhang werden außerdem der Beitrag von Toury und die Polysystemtheorie von Evan-Zohar einer Analyse unterzogen. Darüber hinaus gilt es, den Begriff „Titel“ und dessen Formen und Funktionen genauer zu untersuchen. Danach wird ein Forschungsüberblick über die möglichen Übersetzungsstrategien von Filmtiteln angeboten, bevor auf das Konzept des Genres eingegangen wird. Der empirische Teil widmet sich der Analyse des Korpus-Materials mithilfe des Models von Regina Bouchehri. Dieses Modell, das sechs verschiedene Übersetzungsstrategien aufweist – Titelidentität, Titelanalogie, Titelinnovation, Abwandlung, Reduktion und Erweiterung –, wird auf alle übersetzten Titel angewandt. Als Nächstes wird berechnet, wie viele Titel eines bestimmten Genres eine der erwähnten Übersetzungsstrategien aufweisen. Die Ergebnisse und die Antwort der Forschungsfragen werden mittels Tortengrafik präsentiert. Anhand der Abbildungen werden für die Analyse relevante Bespiele angeführt. Abschließend lässt sich feststellen, dass eine allgemeine Tendenz – und zwar die Beibehaltung des Originaltitels in der italienischen Fassung – stark dominant ist. Dafür gibt es mehrere Gründe, die im Zuge der Arbeit herausgearbeitet werden. Hierbei spielen die Globalisierung und die internationale Vernetzung, die unsere Welt und unser alltägliches Leben beeinflussen, eine wesentliche Rolle. In der Recherche wurde festgestellt, dass ein bestimmtes Verhältnis zwischen dem Genre und der jeweils überwiegend zur Anwendung kommenden Übersetzungsstrategie vorherrschend ist.

description: The 1932 coup put an end to the age-old Thai absolute monarchy. Since then, the Thai political environment has become one where the instruments of control and change have been shifted from the royal elite to the hands of the bureaucrats. The resurgence of the monarchy can be explained with reference to the unique status of the monarchical institution as the supreme source of legitimacy, the incessant conflict among the new elite groups, and the personality and conducts of King Bhumibol. A direct consequence of the monarchical resurgence is that the monarchy has become gradually involved in politics. This also caused apprehension that the active involvement of the monarchy in politics in the long run will tarnish its legitimacy and role as a unifying national symbol. The monarchy could be alienated from its body politic if the King does not simultaneously take into account the political implications and consequences of his political action.

Speciation in erect morphotypes of Alcyonidium verrilli (Bryozoa, Ctenostomata) from the Chesapeake Bay
Creators: name: Redden, John Cameron
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Examination of Alcyonidium verrilli from the lower Chesapeake Bay revealed two morphotypes. Statistical morphological comparisons, electrophoresis of two enzymes, chromosomal number determination, and ecological association observations were performed to determine if the two morphotypes were separate species. Morphological comparisons using Kruskel-Wallis were found to be statistically different. Electrophoretic results showed no difference in enzyme mobility. Morphotype 1 chromosome work yielded 2n is approximately 44 based on bivalents. Morphotype 2 chromosome work yielded a 2n = 28, and a karyotype was constructed. Both morphotypes are preyed on by Doridella obscura. Arcohaetium alcyonidii cylindrium was observed infesting Morphotype 1. The simplest explanation is the two morphotypes of Alcyonidium verrilli are separate species.

Using a musician-driven data collection approach, musicians with MSSs were asked to nominate their top three perceived causes of their symptoms. Responses were categorized, and percentages reported for the main categories. Results. Of the 213 musicians, 37.6% reported biological factors, 21.1% reported external, physical factors, 93.9% reported behavioural factors, 18.8% reported psychosocial factors and 9.9% reported ‘other’ factors (e.g., accidents) as the perceived causes of their MSSs. Conclusion. This study is the first to investigate perceived causes of musicians’ MSSs across a diverse range of musicians, using musician-driven methods. By using open response data collection strategies, a comprehensive, unbiased list of perceived causes of MSSs was compiled. Perceived causes not identified in previous research included manual handling, physical activity and sleep problems. Future research should consider the association between perceived causes and MSSs, and barriers and enablers of behaviour changes that may prevent MSSs. This research may guide the development of new strategies to reduce the burden of MSSs in musicians.

description: We introduce a simple procedure to be used for selecting the strategies most likely to be played by inexperienced agents who interact in one shot 2x2 games. We start with an axiomatic description of a function that may capture players' beliefs. Various proposals connected with the concept of mixed strategy Nash equilibrium do not match this description. On the other hand minimax regret obeys all the axioms. Therefore we use minimax regret to approximate players' beliefs and we let players best respond to these conjectured beliefs. When compared with existing experimental evidences about one shot matching pennies games, this procedure correctly indicates the choices of the vast majority of the players. Applications to other classes of games are also explored.

description: Examination of Alcyonidium verrilli from the lower Chesapeake Bay revealed two morphotypes. Statistical morphological comparisons, electrophoresis of two enzymes, chromosomal number determination, and ecological association observations were performed to determine if the two morphotypes were separate species. Morphological comparisons using Kruskel-Wallis were found to be statistically different. Electrophoretic results showed no difference in enzyme mobility. Morphotype 1 chromosome work yielded 2n is approximately 44 based on bivalents. Morphotype 2 chromosome work yielded a 2n = 28, and a karyotype was constructed. Both morphotypes are preyed on by Doridella obscura. Arcohaetium alcyonidii cylindrium was observed infesting Morphotype 1. The simplest explanation is the two morphotypes of Alcyonidium verrilli are separate species.
title: Die Darstellung von DolmetscherInnen in der Literatur und ihren filmischen Adaptionen
Creators: name: Schlögl, Marianne
Year: 2013

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Darstellung von DolmetscherInnen in der Literatur und filmischen Adaptionen anhand von drei Literatur- und drei Filmbeispielen untersucht. Der erste Abschnitt bietet zunächst eine Übersicht über die Darstellung von DolmetscherInnen und ÜbersetzerInnen in Literatur und Film, sowie über die damit einhergehenden Klischees. Das zweite Kapitel befasst sich mit der Theorie der filmischen Adaption und ihrer historischen Entwicklung sowie dem Wandel des Begriffes der „Werktreue“. Anschließend wird ein kurzer Überblick über relevante Begriffe der Filmanalyse und der Erzähltheorie nach Franz K. Stanzel gegeben, welche später im Rahmen der Analyse Verwendung finden. Der Hauptteil der Arbeit schließlich besteht aus der Analyse von drei Romanen und ihren jeweiligen Verfilmungen. Mit Hilfe eines Vergleichs von Szenenausschnitten aus Text und Film sollen mögliche Änderungen in der Darstellung der Figur des Dolmetschers anschaulich verglichen werden. Die Analyse konzentriert sich hier besonders auf die Positionierung der drei männlichen Dolmetscher im Erzählgefüge sowie auf die Themen Sichtbarkeit, Macht und Zuverlässigkeit der Translatoren in den jeweiligen Medien. Im Abschlusskapitel der Arbeit wird nun zusammenfassend auf die filmischen Mittel eingegangen mit Hilfe derer die Darstellung der drei Dolmetscher im Medium Film erfolgt, und es findet ein Vergleich der Veränderungen in der Wahrnehmung der Figuren statt.
description: The aim of this thesis is to take a closer look at the way that interpreters are displayed in literature and film adaptations by means of analysing three literary texts and four films. The first chapter provides the reader with an overview of the way translators and interpreters are represented in literature and films as well as of the clichés that come with this representation. The second chapter focuses on the theory of film adaptation, its historical development and the changing perception of the concept of “fidelity”, a notion that often serves as an important category when it come to the “evaluation” of literary adaptations. The next chapter shortly explains a few basic terms of film analysis, relevant for the main part of the thesis. It also deals with the narrative theory of Franz K. Stanzel, terminology that is necessary for the analysis of the interpreter’s position within the narrative. The main part of this thesis consists of the analysis of the three novels . Its focus mainly lies on four aspects: the position of the interpreters within the narrative, their visibility, their reliability and the question of power. The last part is an attempt to sum up the means that were used in the movies to represent and characterise the interpreters and takes a closer look at the changes to the way the characters are perceived. By means of comparing specific scenes from these novels and films, some shifts in the representation of the interpreters may become clearer.

description: The present series of experiments tested the ability of conditioned stimuli associated with cocaine to influence behavior, using rodent models of addiction. Experiments 1 and 2 tested the hypothesis that cocaine cues become extra strong conditioned reinforcers compared to cues paired with non-drug reinforcers. In Experiment 1, rats were trained to lever press for intravenous cocaine infusions and grain pellets. The two reinforcers were paired with distinct audiovisual cues. When allowed to choose between these alternatives, rats chose grain on ~70-80% of trials. However, after extinguishing lever pressing, reintroduction of press-contingent cues during a test for cue-induced reinstatement generated more cocaine seeking than grain seeking. This effect was also observed on 3- and 8-week follow up tests. To examine whether the same pattern of results would occur with two non-drug reinforcers, Experiment 2 replicated Experiment 1 using grain and sucrose as reinforcement alternatives. Rats chose sucrose over grain on ~70-80% of choice trials. In contrast to the results of Experiment 1, the cue associated with the preferred reinforcer -- i.e., sucrose -- produced greater responding than the cue paired with the non-preferred reinforcer on the reinstatement test. The disconnect between primary and conditioned reinforcement in Experiment 1 but not Experiment 2, suggests that drug cues may become exceptionally strong motivators of drug-seeking. This finding is consistent with cue-focused theories of addiction. Experiment 3 investigated the ability of a cocaine cue to influence the choice of cocaine over a grain alternative. A secondary aim was to determine whether the tendency to sign-track to a food cue predicted rats' choice of cocaine over food. First, rats were trained on a procedure where insertion of a retractable lever was paired with food. A sub-group of rats -- sign-trackers -- primarily approached and contacted the lever, while another sub-group -- goal-trackers -- approached the site of food delivery. Rats were then trained on the same choice task used in Experiment 1, where they could choose between cocaine and grain. Finally, the ability of cues previously associated with cocaine and food to influence choice behavior was investigated. No evidence was found to suggest cocaine or food cues could alter preference between cocaine and grain. Sign-trackers chose cocaine over food significantly more often than did goal-trackers. This finding adds to a growing number of studies indicating that sign-tracking may be a biobehavioral marker for an addiction-prone phenotype. In general, this series of experiments provides support for cue-focused theories of addiction and provides novel information which may offer insight into the mechanisms by which cues perpetuate drug-seeking behavior in addiction.

description: Social Entrepreneurship ist ein Thema, das in der letzten Dekade stetig mehr Aufmerksamkeit bekommt und viel diskutiert wird. In dieser Arbeit wird das Augenmerk auf Thailand gelegt. Bis dato gibt es kaum wissenschaftliche Studien, die sich mit dem Thema Social Entrepreneurship in Thailand befassen. Es wird Social Entrepreneurship als ein aufkommender Entwicklungsansatz betrachtet und untersucht, welche Rolle dieser Ansatz in der Entwicklung und Entwicklungspolitik Thailands spielt. Anhand von Literaturanalyse wird die Social Entrepreneurship-Landschaft in Thailand dargestellt, die Akteure beschrieben und eine mögliche Zusammenarbeit mit der Regierung, InvestorInnen und Universitäten aufgezeigt. Nachdem die Rahmenbedingungen und das Social Entrepreneurship-Netzwerk Thailands dargestellt werden, wird anhand zweier Fallbeispiele gezeigt, wie Social Entrepreneurship konkret in die Praxis umgesetzt werden kann. Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass über Social Enterprises Arbeitsplätze geschaffen, fehlende soziale Dienstleistungen angeboten und marginalisierte Gruppen gestärkt werden. Außerdem stellt es für Nichtregierungsorganisationen und Non-Profit Organisationen eine Möglichkeit dar, unabhängiger und selbstbestimmter agieren zu können.
description: Social Entrepreneurship is a topic that has gained more recognition in the last decade and become a much discussed issue. In this thesis the attention is directed at Thailand. Thitherto there are hardly any scientific papers about Social Entrepreneurship in Thailand. This thesis looks into Social Entrepreneurship as an emerging development approach and examines which role it plays in the development and development politics of Thailand. With the help of literature analysis the Social Entrepreneurship landscape of Thailand is presented, the main players are described and a possible collaboration with the government, investors and universities is pointed out. After the surrounding conditions and the Social Entrepreneurship network have been illustrated, two case studies show how Social Entrepreneurship can be realized. This thesis shows that Social Entrepreneurship can create jobs, provide missing social services and strengthen marginalized groups. In addition Social Entrepreneurship presents an opportunity for Non-governmental organisations and Non-profit organisations to act more independent and self-determined.
