description: Claims have been made that families with children living with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been migrating to Alberta because of higher funding available for ASD supports compared to other provinces. The legitimacy of these claims, along with many others about the adequacy or inadequacy of funding for supporting persons living with ASD, has not been evaluated because we simply don’t know how many people in Alberta are living with ASD. Typically in Canada, ASD prevalence is reported in national figures, based on international estimates. Canadian prevalence estimates for ASD are needed. With no national surveillance system in place, national estimates are difficult to determine. In addition, such broad measurements are problematic as they may not adequately inform the service delivery needs for specific jurisdictions. A new study shows that 1,711, or 1 in 94, school age children in the Calgary region have an ASD diagnosis. As this number matches what is often reported for the national prevalence of ASD, it suggests that Alberta’s relatively higher ASD funding is not inducing in-migration of families seeking better support. The data also show that the prevalence is higher in elementary-grade children, with a diagnosis in one of every 86 children. In the senior grades, there are significantly fewer students with ASD diagnoses, specifically within the Calgary Board of Education. There is no evident reason for diagnoses to seemingly dematerialize in the older grades. These students could be dropping out or choosing home-schooling in greater numbers. Possibly there has been an increase in prevalence. These prevalence estimates help to inform the demand for special-needs services within the local school system. In addition, there is growing concern that upon graduation there is a “support cliff” resulting from a less systematized, less generous support system available for adults with neurodevelopmental disability. Families that need support for ASD face enough challenges; it is critical for policy-makers to be aware of the extent of the situation in their own jurisdiction so as to develop the right kinds of supports for these families.

title: Demokratie, Populismus und die Suche nach Konsens
Creators: name: Djordjevic, Goran
Year: 2010

description: Es ist ersichtlich, dass die liberale Demokratie zum politischen Paradigma der Gegenwart gehört. Dennoch sind die Demokratien in Europa (und Amerika) mit sinkenden Wahlbeteiligungen und dem noch jungen Phänomen des Rechtspopulismus konfrontiert. Die vorliegende Arbeit geht der Fragestellung nach woran das liegt, und testet die Hypothese, dass es in erster Linie ein Kommunikationsfehler ist, der zu diesen Störphänomenen führt. Es wurde ein Methodenmix aus qualitativer und quantitativer Analyse, und ein rational-choice Theorierahmen verwendet. Aufbauend auf der Feststellung, dass die Grundwerte der Demokratien in Europa aus dem Bereich des Liberalismus stammen, ist es ersichtlich, dass insbesondere beim Kriterium der Gleichheit eine Kluft zwischen Anspruch und Realität vorhanden ist. Soziale Ungleichheit – egal ob es sich um eine Gliederung nach Ständen, Klassen oder Schichten handelt – ist immer vorhanden. Aufbauend auf eine modifizierte Version des rational choice Ansatzes, sowie einem kybernetischen Modell des politischen Systems, ließ sich nachweisen, dass es in erster Linie die Erzeugung von Feindbildern – in diesem Fall als Präferenz gegen das etablierte politische System oder relevanten gesellschaftlichen Gruppen – war, die zur Stützung destruktiver Kräfte geführt hat. Analysiert wurden die Phänomene des Cäsarismus, des Bonapartismus, sowie des Faschismus. Die Möglichkeit eine Präferenz gegen ein bestimmtes Feindbild in eine Präferenz für bestimmte Personen und Bewegungen zu transformieren hat diese Phänomene ermöglicht. Es wurde weiterführend auch das Phänomen des Rechtspopulismus analysiert, wobei sich gezeigt hat, dass hier die gleiche politische Methode verwendet wurde. Als Lösungsvorschlag wurde zuletzt ein Wahlsystem beschrieben, in der die Abgabe einer negativen Stimme möglich ist, da auf dieser Art eine Transformation von Präferenzen nicht mehr möglich ist.
Aggressive International Tax Planning by Multinational Corporations: The Canadian Context and Possible Responses
Creators: name: Arnold, Brian J.

Year: 2014

description: Aggressive international tax planning by multinational corporations has lately fallen under intense political scrutiny. U.S. politicians have called out some American multinationals, including Apple, Amazon, Starbucks and Google, for relocating profits abroad to avoid American taxes. More recently, politicians accused Burger King of being unpatriotic for its own purported “tax inversion” maneuver, in which it would acquire Canada’s Tim Hortons and shift the head office from Florida to Ontario, benefitting from the lower northern tax rates. The Chicago-based Walgreens pharmacy chain recently backed off a “tax inversion” plan to relocate to Switzerland (the former headquarters of Alliance Boots, a company acquired by Walgreens), apparently having assessed the political risk as too high. This sort of aggressive international tax planning by multinational corporations was what G20 members had committed to fighting against when they endorsed the OECD’s “action plan” against base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS). Canada has been vigilant about improving its tax framework to prevent non-resident corporations from eroding the Canadian tax base, having enacted thin-capitalization rules and, more recently, foreign-affiliate-dumping rules, as well as proposing anti-treaty-shopping measures. But despite Canada’s commitment to the OECD’s BEPS Action Plan, the Canadian government has been reluctant to follow through on implementing rules that might affect its own resident corporations and their international competitiveness. This is most notably visible in the generous participation exemption for dividends from foreign affiliates, the absence of rules restricting the deductibility of interest expenses incurred to earn exempt dividends from foreign affiliates. Canada may be reluctant to fully follow through on all aspects of the OECD’s BEPS Action Plan. As the examples of Apple, Amazon, Google and Starbucks demonstrate, the American government has so far been unable to bring itself to take any meaningful action against aggressive international planning by U.S.resident corporations. Were Canada to enact and enforce rules that clamped down on aggressive international tax planning by its own resident corporations, it would only put Canadian firms at a competitive disadvantage relative to American (or other international) rivals. Until the United States is willing and able to take the lead on aggressive international tax planning by multi-national corporations, the reality is that smaller countries, including Canada, should be cautious about making changes to its international tax rules that are dependent on other countries making similar changes.

Something Has to Give: Why Delays Are the New Reality of Canada’s Defence Procurement Strategy
Creators: name: Sloan, Elinor
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2014

description: Recent waves of political controversy over military procurement programs, most notably the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter project, are symptoms of an ongoing and increasingly strategic choice Canada is making in the way it equips its military. From the failure to settle on a design for the Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship (which had an originally planned delivery date of 2013), to the un-awarded contracts for new fixed-wing search and rescue aircraft (initially anticipated nearly a decade ago) and the incomplete Integrated Soldier-System Project (once expected to be active by this year); to the delay in cutting the steel for the Joint Support Ship (initial delivery planned for 2012) needed to replace vessels that are now being decommissioned, Canadians are witnessing the results of a new philosophy behind the government’s procurement process.
Canadian governments have always insisted on industrial and regional benefits for Canada when buying military equipment. But the massive defence spending promised under the 2008 Canada First Defence Strategy exacerbated this approach. The emphasis has now formally been placed on favouring industrial benefits for Canada in defence acquisitions, while heightened political cautiousness has placed a higher priority on ensuring maximum value for taxpayer money with a zero tolerance for mistakes environment.
A relatively small Canadian defence budget has put pressure on military officials to be creative about ordering new equipment — in some cases, perhaps too creative. Officials have taken to commissioning vehicles and equipment that are more versatile and are capable of carrying out more than their traditional functions. In certain instances, this has meant wish lists that cannot be fulfilled in the expected time frame, or even at all.
This is the case, for example, with the Joint Support Ship, which went from a plan for new refuelling and replenishment ships to one for vessels that could also provide a command and control centre for forces ashore and sealift for ground forces, including space for helicopters on deck, making this ship unique. Another example of where fiscal prudence has resulted in procurement complications is in the Canadian Surface Combatant project: here, the Navy is trying to use a common hull for both frigates and destroyers to generate savings in crewing, training, maintenance and logistics. Often, the demand for more versatility and the need to stretch spending have led to plans for equipment that do not yet exist and are so technologically ambitious that industry cannot deliver what the Canadian government requires, as has happened with the highly problematic Maritime Helicopter Project.

title: Multinationale Streitkräfteeinsätze als Herausforderung der militärischen Integration Europas am Beispiel der Kosovo Force
Creators: name: Princz, Christine
Year: 2010

description: Die hier vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Phänomen der multinationalen Zusammenarbeit des Militärs in Österreich, am Beispiel der im Kosovo stationierten Kosovo Force. Anfangs werden die unterschiedlichen Formen einer solchen Kooperation angeführt und anhand realer Beispiele verdeutlicht. In der weiteren Folge wird auf die gesetzlichen Voraussetzungen dieses Sachverhaltes Bezug genommen, indem insbesondere auf die Gemeinsame Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik („GASP“) der Europäischen Union, der Europäischen Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik („ESVP“ - die seit dem in Kraft treten des Lissabonner Vertrags (ab dem 01.Dezember.2009) nur mehr als „GSVP“ also: Gemeinsame Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik bezeichnet wird), der Österreichischen Sicherheits- und Verteidigungsdoktrin und ihre Auswirkungen auf das Österreichische Bundesheer in Form der Bundesheerreform 2010 eingegangen wird. Der empirische Teil der Arbeit stützt sich auf qualitative Befragungen österreichischer Soldaten (ausschließlich männlichen Geschlechts), zwei Experteninterviews und die Auswertung ebendieser. Während die teilnehmenden Soldaten ihrer Erfahrungen mit Soldaten/Soldatinnen anderer Länder, im Rahmen ihres letzten Auslandseinsatzes im Kosovo, schilderten, wurden die Experten innerhalb ihres jeweiligen Fachgebietes befragt. Abschließend werden noch mögliche Perspektiven der militärischen Integration, anhand unterschiedlicher Entwicklungsszenarien dargestellt, während im Resümee noch einmal auf mögliche zukünftige Problematiken, infolge der multinationalen Konstellation der militärischen Einsatzkräfte, und etwaige Lösungsansätze eingegangen wird.
description: This diploma thesis is about the multinational cooperation of the Austrian Army within the so-called Kosovo Force. It combines theories of of the integration of soldiers within multinational corps, the ascpects of international (European Union) and nationale (Austrian) law and the experiences Austrian soldiers made in the Kosovo with foreign soldiers. The experts, which were chosen to give an interview, refer about their point of view and their professional opinion about issues like: working together with soldiers of other cultures, potential problems within multilateral brigades, the further development of the Common Security and Defence Policy (“CSDP” - formerly known as European Security and Defense Policy (“ESDP”)), the future of the Austrian Armed Forces within the Common Foreign and Security Policy (“CFSP”) of the European Union etc. Finally it also contains possible scenarios of the future of the European Union with its security and defense policy and also potential solutions of the mainproblems in multinational military cooperation.

Apparently, they were not aware of the widespread C. oblitus. The direct comparison of the two holotypes undoubtedly proved that they are identical. Therefore, we establish the following synonymy: Copelatus oblitus Sharp, 1882 = C. karnatakus Holmen & Vazirani, 1990 syn. nov.
Distribution. Widely distributed species ranging in the Oriental region from India to Sulawesi, and also reaching southern China and Japan in the Palaearctic region. First record from Indian state of Uttarakhand.

The Canadian unemployment rate – with and without Alberta’s Boom
Creators: name: Kneebone, Ronald D.
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2014

description: Over the past two decades there has occurred a shift in economic power from central Canada to other parts of the country. Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador have both claimed a noticeably larger share of Canada’s GDP since 1995 but easily the largest shift of economic output has been to Alberta. This adjustment in the Canadian economy is most easily observed in the large migration between provinces of Canadians seeking employment. Data from Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey shows that over the period 1995-2014 Alberta has maintained an average annual rate of growth in employment of 2.50 per cent. This is well above the 1.44 percentage rate of employment growth in second-place Ontario and double the average rate of growth in neighbouring British Columbia. This begs the question: What would Canada’s unemployment rate be today if Alberta’s job creation boom hadn’t happened? Since the national jobless rate is a weighted average of the provincial figures, getting an answer is straightforward. Assume Alberta’s employment growth was no higher than Ontario’s over the same period and the impact on Canada’s unemployment rate is startling. By August 2014, Canada’s unemployment would have been 9.39 per cent — 2.23 percentage points higher than the real figure of 7.16 per cent — and the Alberta economy would have created 411,000 fewer jobs; jobs which typically pay $200 to $300 per week more than jobs in Ontario and Quebec. This gloomy scenario means that Canada’s present unemployment rate would be 2.5 percentage points higher than it was in mid-2000, and 411,000 Canadians, along with their dependents, would be clearly much worse off were it not for the boom in Alberta. Obviously this simple experiment can’t capture the situation’s full economic complexity. Would some of those jobs have cropped up in other provinces? Stubbornly lacklustre growth could very well have forced governments and the Bank of Canada to adopt desperate measures; it could also have damaged postrecession recovery by increasing the federal budget deficit and limiting the Bank’s room to manoeuvre. While admittedly simple, this exercise highlights how reliant is Canada’s international reputation for economic strength and fiscal parsimony on Alberta’s prolonged economic boom.

An International Comparison of Tax Assistance for Research and Development: Estimates and Policy Implication
Creators: name: Lester, John
name: Warda, Jacek
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2014

description: Business spending on research and development (R&D) is generally recognized as a private activity providing broader economic benefits that justify government support. But subsidizing R&D has costs as well as benefits, and governments need to exercise judgement to ensure that subsidies are set at a level that results in a net economic benefit for society as a whole, not just for the recipients of the assistance. A key finding of the international comparison undertaken in this paper is that Canada and nine other of the 36 countries in the comparison group are providing R&D subsidies that are likely too high to generate a net economic benefit. Subsidy rates in this group of countries range from 25 to 45 per cent. The risk of excessive subsidization is confined to small firms in Canada, which receive a subsidy of almost 41 per cent through the tax system. Canada’s subsidy rate for small firms is the third highest, behind Chile and France. Other countries providing subsidy rates close to 40 per cent are Spain and India. This paper also assesses several design features of tax assistance measures, including enhanced benefits for small and young firms, refundability of benefits and incentives based on increases in R&D spending above a base level. While the best policy for R&D subsidies may be a uniform rate for all businesses regardless of age or size, the case for favouring young firms is somewhat stronger than for favouring all small firms. Focusing on young firms avoids providing benefits to small firms that are not growth-oriented; but, it is difficult to design a program that can be completely restricted to young firms since entrepreneurs would have an incentive to create new firms to avoid losing higher benefits. Even with this “leakage”, however, an age-dependent incentive could be more cost-effective than size-dependent enhanced benefits. There is a particularly strong case for providing refundability to young firms, which are unlikely to have taxable income while the first round of R&D is undertaken While refundability for large firms has the advantage of increasing the effective subsidy rate on R&D to its target level, it runs the risk of revenue losses as multinational firms have less incentive to ‘book’ taxable income in Canada. A reasonable compromise would be to adjust the value of unused credits and deductions to maintain their present value. International comparisons of tax assistance for R&D typically highlight country rankings and express satisfaction with the most generous regimes. This paper draws attention to the possibility of providing too much of a good thing, a warning that governments in Canada should keep in mind when preparing next year’s budgets.

Zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage „Welche Einstellungen und Wahrnehmungen finden sich bei DaF/DaZ-Lernenden in Bezug auf das Lernziel interkulturelle Kompetenz?“ wurden Freiwillige am Beginn und Ende ihrer Kurse an der Universität Wien befragt. Die Untersuchungsfragen lauteten: - Welchen Stellenwert hat die Vermittlung von kulturellem Wissen neben den vier Fertigkeiten für Teilnehmende eines Intensivkurses in DaF/DaZ? - Was verstehen DaF/DaZ-Lernende unter interkultureller Kompetenz? Inwiefern scheint sie relevant? - Wie möchten DaF/DaZ-Studierende interkulturelle Kompetenz erwerben? - Fühlen sich die Teilnehmenden am Ende des DaF/DaZ-Kurses für spätere interkulturelle Zusammentreffen gut vorbereitet? - Welche Faktoren haben zur Entwicklung interkultureller Kompetenz beigetragen? Nach einer ausführlichen Diskussion der für die Untersuchung relevanten theoretischen Grundlagen, konnten folgende Erkenntnisse gewonnen werden: - Kultur spielt für die Befragten eine nennenswerte Rolle, wird aber einzelnen Fertigkeiten nachgestellt. - Bei den Definitionen handelt es sich oft um begrenzte Sichtweisen, manchmal aber auch komplexere Auffassungen. Interkulturelle Kompetenz wird als relevant oder zumindest interessant eingeschätzt. - Der Sprachkurs stellt die Nummer 1 unter den Erwerbswünschen für interkulturelle Kompetenz dar. Interaktion auf der Straße wird ebenso genannt. - Die Befragten stufen sich am Ende des Kurses mit Einschränkungen als interkulturell kompetent ein. Einzelne Aktivitäten, kulturvergleichende Diskussionen sowie eine internationale Teilnehmerschaft haben zur Entwicklung von interkultureller Kompetenz beigetragen. Summa summarum lassen die Einstellungen und Wahrnehmungen der Befragten neben allgemeiner Offenheit und vorhandenem Interesse gegenüber fremden Kulturen ebenso auf interkulturelle Sensibilisierung im Rahmen des Sprachkurses schließen.
On Uncertain Ice: The Future of Arctic Shipping and the Northwest Passage

description: The Arctic sea-ice is in a state of rapid decline. Barriers to navigation that once doomed the likes of Sir John Franklin and closed the shortcut to the Orient now seem to be melting away. The prospect of shorter, transpolar transportation routes linking Asian and Western markets has inspired excitement and fear, and particularly the latter when it comes to Canadian sovereignty.
This paper confirms recent studies suggesting that, in spite of the general trend towards reduced ice cover in the Arctic Basin, environmental variability, scarce infrastructure and other navigational aids, and uncertain economics make it unlikely that the Northwest Passage will emerge as a viable trans-shipping route in the foreseeable future. Instead, the region is likely to witness a steady increase in resource, resupply, and tourist destinational shipping. Accordingly, concerns that this increased activity will adversely affect Canadian sovereignty are misplaced. Rather than calling into question Canadian control, foreign vessels engaged in local activities are likely to reinforce Canada’s legal position by demonstrating an international acceptance of Canadian laws and regulations.
Rather than worrying about the “sovereignty” ramifications of Arctic shipping, the Canadian government should focus its short – and medium – term energies on the practical requirements of developing and maintaining safe shipping routes. At the heart of this requirement is ensuring that such activity is beneficial to Inuit, whose traditional “highways” will double as transits routes for resource carriers and cruise liners. If developed with an eye to those most directly affected, Canada’s Arctic waters can become a well-managed route to an increasingly attractive region, making our Arctic a destination rather than mere space through which to pass.

Safety in Numbers: Evaluating Canadian Rail Safety Data
Creators: name: Winter, Jennifer
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2014

description: After the horrific and deadly train explosion at Lac-Mégantic, Que. in the summer of 2013, there are serious questions being raised publicly about the safety of Canada’s rail-transport system. Unfortunately, Canada’s public rail-safety data are currently in no shape to provide the answers to those questions. When Canadians ask, as many have in recent months, whether the rail-transport system is “safe,” they surely want to know whether the accident record is low — compared to other countries and to other forms of transport — and whether it has been improving or getting worse over time. Yet, the statistics that might provide the answers are worryingly inaccessible, sometimes conflicting, and in certain cases not available at all. The inability to publicly monitor airline safety statistics would be considered unacceptable. Yet trains transporting volatile goods across Canada arguably expose entire communities, as in Lac-Mégantic, to potentially catastrophic dangers. How is it, then, that the Transportation Safety Board, Transport Canada and Statistics Canada do not even publicly report something as basic as the number of train trips made every year in Canada? Nor do their statistics distinguish between incidents and accidents involving passenger trains and those involving freight trains. And how is it that the total number of accidents in some years is reported differently by these various monitoring organizations? If Canadians are, as it appears, destined to see increasing volumes of goods, specifically dangerous goods, transported by rail, it is that much more important that the federal government significantly improve the reporting of rail-safety data. It is not only vital that our railroads are safe; it is just as vital for the public to have information showing exactly how safe they are.

The Middle Power and the Middle Kingdom: Securing Canada’s Place in the New China-U.S. Economic and Strategic World Order
Creators: name: Dobson, Wendy

description: Although the United States is finally showing signs of some slow economic recovery, in global terms North America is in relative decline as large emerging-market economies, particularly China, show much more promise for growth. But Canada, having relied on a north-south pattern of diplomacy and trade with the United States, is not well positioned to become part of this new economic world order. China is paying attention. It has not escaped notice among the Chinese that Canada has been largely absent from the Asian region and its institutions in recent years, relying only on the inertia of a few longstanding bilateral relationships. An occasional visit to China by Canada’s prime minister is not an encouraging sign — for Canada or China — of the Canadian government’s commitment to building a more robust relationship, particularly when other countries have ongoing dialogue with China at the highest levels. And Canada’s hesitance to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and a generally half-hearted attitude toward striking Asian free-trade deals, cannot have left China believing that Canada is serious about pivoting toward the Pacific. Indeed, new restrictions that further obstruct the ability of stateowned enterprises, from China and elsewhere, to invest in Canada likely signals that we are even outright hostile to the idea of forging deeper Asian ties. If Canada is to ensure that it is strategically well positioned for an era of rising Asian power, it must learn to think more like a Pacific nation, and not strictly an Atlantic one. The expanding Asian middle class will soon demand improvements in health, education, financial, environmental and urban services: These are things that Asians know Canada can do well, and they would welcome Canada’s expertise in developing these services. But Canada must show itself eager to integrate further with Asia, deepening relationships in the region’s nascent economic and security institutions. Canada can also begin acting on longstanding recommendations that it promote itself as a Pacific “location” for Asian multinationals: Calgary marketed as a global centre for unconventional energy research; Vancouver as an ideal headquarters for Asian multinationals operating in the West; and Toronto as a Pacific-oriented international centre of yuan-based finance. Rightly or wrongly, Canada is developing an international reputation as a difficult place to invest, and a country that is fairly indifferent to the potential that is already beginning to unfold in China and elsewhere in Asia. With so much of our economic future at stake, it is a reputation we must immediately begin working to reverse.

Prioritizing Defence Industry Capabilities: Lessons for Canada from Australia
Creators: name: Stone, J. Craig
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2014

description: A number of Canadian acquisition announcements over the past few years have generated significant debate about a variety of issues like whether or not Canada should have a separate procurement agency, whether or not industrial and regional benefits are appropriate and whether or not Canadian companies should be given preference over international companies. In discussions about improving our procurement process Australia is often used as an example because the nations are generally considered to be similar in size with respect to GDP, population and military. This study examines Australia’s approach to establishing a defence industry policy with a set of Priority Industry Capabilities and how that policy connects with military procurement in order to identify those lessons that might be useful for Canada as it seeks to improve its own procurement process and its relationship with the defence industry. The study looks at some important background information on the Australian experience and then looks more specifically at the most recent articulation of policies in Australia. Although Australia is not without its own challenges, there are a number of lessons that stand out for Canada. This study discusses the lessons for Canada and recommends that government spends the time and effort required to connect a series of related policy documents that provides industry and others with an articulation of what the government of the day intends to do and what their priorities are moving forward. It also recommends a holistic review of the entire procurement process to determine what is working well and what actually needs fixing would be useful.

description: Es wird die Geschichte des Spannbetons im Brückenbau wiedergegeben. Hierzu wird unter anderem ein Normenvergleich zum Thema Spannbeton aufgestellt. Desweiteren wird erläutert, was die Grundlagen für die Nachrechnung bestehender Brücken sind. Für die Brücke über die Saale bei Jena-Kunitz wird ein Beprobungskonzept mit zerstörenden Prüfungen erstellt. Die erhaltenen Proben sollen in Labortests weiter untersucht werden. Die durch die Beprobung entstehenden Schädigungen sollen zu weiteren Messungen an der Brücke genutzt werden. Die Schädigungszustände werden statisch nachgewiesen. Zum Schluss werden Hinweise für den geplanten Abriss der Brücke gegeben.
description: The history of the prestressed concrete building is reflected in the field of bridge building. A norm comparison for the theme of prestressed concrete is made for this. The basics of recalculation of bridges are elucidated. A concept for samples with destructive tryouts is made for the bridge over the river Saale near Jena-Kunitz. These samples are appointed to be tested in a laboratory. The damages made for the samples shall be used for further measurements on the bridge. The damaged states are structurally verified. At the end there are suggestions for the break down of the bridge.

Publisher: name: [s.n.]
Year: 1850

description: Reinschrift eines Gedichts auf Jean de Charpentier, in der Handschrift von Oswald Heer.
Zu einem Gedicht veranlasst sah sich Oswald Heer laut seinem eigenen Bericht in: Die Urwelt der Schweiz, zweite Auflage 1883, S. 607ff, aufgrund der tiefen Erkenntnisse, die er im August 1850 beim gemeinsamen Besuch der Moräne von Monthey gewann. Das handschriftlich vorliegende Gedicht ist nur teilweise identisch mit dem S. 608f abgedruckten Gedicht. Insbesondere heisst es am Schluss: "So oft wir dieses Fest begehen, soll er geistig vor uns stehen, alle freundlich jetzt umschweben und er sonach bei uns leben."
- Anmerkung: Bis Ende August 2015 war an dieser Stelle das Gedicht Arnold Escher als Autor zugeschrieben, aufgrund nicht vorhandener Detailkenntnisse während der 1973 erfolgten Erschliessung.
