description: In 2017, ILO issued recommendation no. 2015 on employment and decent work for peace and resilience, which is an international labour standard of particular relevance and importance for managing the labour market in times of crisis, and especially so in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. A body of generally applicable international labour standards provides social protection to workers during the pandemic and applies to the challenges to the labour market in such times. The Report describes the labour policy of ILO and international labour standards in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as ILO’s concrete response to the present crisis. Finally, the Report presents a reminder that ILS and social protection in the future must be able to handle social risks resulting from biological vulnerabilities on part of workers and the importance of the principle of universality in social protection.

description: Here we propose a discussion about the "mandorla" or "vesica piscis". It is a type of 2-dimensional lens, that is, a geometric shape formed by the intersection of two circles with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the centre of each circle lies on the perimeter of the other. The aim of the discussion is that of understanding when such a geometric shape became a symbol and when this symbol received a specific name. We will find that the name "mandorla" was used long before the term "vesica piscis", which is the Latin translation of the German "fischblosen" (fish-bladder) used by Albrecht Dürer in his book on geometry. Therefore, the name invented by Dürer was not used by the painter for a sacred form. However, after the middle of the nineteenth century the term "vesica piscis" exploded in literature. Its use was criticized and, at the same time, it was stressed that the proper term for the symbol is "mandorla". Nonetheless, the "vesica piscis" continues to be largely used in the sacred geometry, which ascribes symbolic and sacred meanings to certain geometric shapes and proportions. In the proposed discussion, we will also show that, recently, the 2-dimensional lenticular symbol has been related to the Pythagorean philosophy. It is told that the followers of this philosophy had the habit of using an apple for symbolic communications. Sliced across, the core of the apple is displaying a pentagram, but sliced lengthwise it forms two intersecting circles, that is a "mandorla". Then, the investigation about terms and related uses of this specific geometric shape is the core of the matter of our discussion or, let us tell, the "core of the apple", in a Pythagorean-like approach to find how a German "fischblosen" evolved into a sacred symbol, thanks to a translation into Latin.

description: NASA's Dawn mission observed a great variety of colored terrains on asteroid (4) Vesta during its survey with the Framing Camera (FC). Here we present a detailed study of the orange material on Vesta, which was first observed in color ratio images obtained by the FC and presents a red spectral slope. The orange material deposits can be classified into three types, a) diffuse ejecta deposited by recent medium-size impact craters (such as Oppia), b) lobate patches with well-defined edges, and c) ejecta rays from fresh-looking impact craters. The location of the orange diffuse ejecta from Oppia corresponds to the olivine spot nicknamed "Leslie feature" first identified by Gaffey (1997) from ground-based spectral observations. The distribution of the orange material in the FC mosaic is concentrated on the equatorial region and almost exclusively outside the Rheasilvia basin. Our in-depth analysis of the composition of this material uses complementary observations from FC, the visible and infrared spectrometer (VIR), and the Gamma Ray and Neutron Detector (GRaND). Combining the interpretations from the topography, geomorphology, color and spectral parameters, and elemental abundances, the most probable analog for the orange material on Vesta is impact melt.

description: Anthropologists have long studied how small-scale societies manage climate variation, and the ways in which market integration may enhance or disturb those systems. Here, we investigate how Yucatec Maya subsistence farmers respond to the double exposure of climate change and market integration using interviews on harvest returns, climate perceptions, economic diversity and helping networks. Modelling results show that as farmers rely more on market inputs (e.g. seed, tractors, fertilizer) for a successful yield, the reasons given for a bad harvest shift from climate variables to access to quality inputs. We also find that social and economic diversification is key to mediating a household's experience of climate and market shocks. The Maya are astute stewards of climate knowledge, and have effective social and economic means to mitigate potential fluctuations in food availability. In the transition from a subsistence to a market integrated economy, these traditional strategies, which are well-suited to manage climate variation, become strained. Reliance on market inputs forges a more rigid food production system that conflicts with the diversity and flexibility on which traditional strategies depend. The best policy is one that does not thwart the ability to diversify, but facilitates maintaining an equal footing in both their subsistence maize economy, while incorporating new market opportunities.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Climate change adaptation needs a science of culture’.

description: Patchy particles are a class of colloids with functionalized surfaces. Through surface functionalization, the strength and directionality of the colloidal interactions are tunable allowing control over coordination of the particle. Exquisite equilibrium phase diagrams of mixtures of coordination two and three have been reported. However, the kinetics of self-organization and the feasibility of the predicted structures are still largely unexplored. Here, we study the irreversible aggregation of these mixtures on a substrate, for different fractions of two-patch particles. Two mechanisms of mass transport are compared: diffusion and advection. In the diffusive case, an optimal fraction is found that maximizes the density of the aggregate. By contrast, for advective transport, the density decreases monotonically with the fraction of two-patch colloids, in line with the behavior of the liquid density on the spinodal of the equilibrium phase diagram.

description: Il problema del finanziamento al terrorismo internazionale ha progressivamente rivestito un ruolo centrale nel quadro delle politiche nazionali e sovranazionali di contrasto al terrorismo. Successivamente agli attentati dell’11 settembre 2001, varie misure a livello nazionale e internazionale sono state elaborate al fine di impedire che flussi di denaro destinati ad attività di tipo terroristico potessero finanziare l’esecuzione di attentati. La prima parte di questo lavoro analizza le caratteristiche fondamentali del finanziamento al terrorismo, analizzando i suoi collegamenti con il riciclaggio di denaro e offrendo una rassegna delle principali tecniche utilizzate dai terroristi per finanziare le loro attività. La seconda parte esamina l’attuale quadro delle normative nazionali e internazionali, analizzando le evoluzioni e la qualità delle politiche di contrasto.

description: We use numerial simulations to study the absorption and phase shift of surface-gravity waves caused by groups of magnetic flux tubes. The dependence of the scattering coefficients with the distance between the tubes and their positions is analyzed for several cases with two or three flux tubes embedded in a quiet Sun atmosphere. The results are compared with those obtained neglecting completely or partially multiple scattering effects. We show that multiple scattering has a significant impact on the absorption measurements and tends to reduce the phase shift. We also consider more general cases of ensembles of randomly distributed flux tubes, and we have evaluated the effects on the scattering measurements of changing the number of tubes included in the bundle and the average distance between flux tubes. We find that for the longest wavelength incoming waves multiple scattering enhances the absorption, and its efficiency increases with the number of flux tubes and the reduction of the distance between them.

description: We present a security analysis against collective attacks for the recently proposed time-energy entanglement-based quantum key distribution protocol, given the practical constraints of single photon detector efficiency, channel loss, and finite-key considerations. We find a positive secure-key capacity when the key length increases beyond $10^4$ for eight-dimensional systems. The minimum key length required is reduced by the ability to post-select on coincident single-photon detection events. Including finite-key effects, we show the ability to establish a shared secret key over a 200 km fiber link.

description: A seguito dei tragici eventi dell’11 settembre 2001, l’Europa è diventata anche un obiettivo di particolare interesse per gli attentatori terroristici islamici. Pertanto, la maggior parte degli Stati, e non solo regioni del mondo come Stati Uniti, Russia, Paesi africani e asiatici, hanno dovuto concentrare la propria attenzione sul fenomeno del terrorismo. Da qui la necessità di rafforzare gli strumenti di prevenzione e contrasto a livello transnazionale attraverso l’introduzione, nei rispettivi codici penali, del reato di terrorismo internazionale, di sanzioni adeguate e di efficaci strumenti procedurali. La lotta al terrorismo da parte dei governi si svolge principalmente in termini di prevenzione attraverso l'attività di intelligence e/o di polizia politica, cioè una forza di polizia che opera per la prevenzione e la repressione dei reati contro la personalità interna ei internazionale di uno Stato e che contrasta la sovversione dell'ordine democratico.

RiC-O 1.0 as a technical framework for implementing RiC and producing Linked Data
Creators: name: Wildi, Tobias
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This presentation will focus on the Records in Contexts Ontology (RiC-O) 1.0, as a technical implementation of RiC-CM 1.0, that defines the vocabulary and rules for modeling archival metadata as RDF Linked Data.
The target audience includes persons who want to know more, and who need precise information on RiC-O as a technical implementation of RiC-CM, on some projects that apply RiC using RiC-O, and more generally speaking on strategies and methods for implementing it using semantic technologies. Understanding the paper requires a basic knowledge about RiC-CM and about what an OWL ontology and RDF technologies are.
First, the presentation will provide an overview of RiC-O 1.0, the online resources that can be used to access it and get an update on its development process and roadmap. The main changes from the draft RiC-O 0.2 (released in February 2021) will also be discussed. Information on how one can get involved in RiC-O development, get news about where and how it is used as well as contact those already using it will be provided.
Then, several speakers will showcase several ongoing projects in the Netherlands, Switzerland and France that use RiC-O, and discuss software or frameworks that can help to implement it. The presentation will include concrete examples, as well as references to the documentation and data already available about these projects.

description: We study particle interaction with a Dirac step potential.

In this paper, we discuss the tunneling energy zone characterized by evanescent wave functions in the classically forbidden region. We ask the question of the nature, particle or antiparticle, of the densities within the classically forbidden region. The answer to this question is relevant to the correct form of the reflection coefficient.

description: We present the results of simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of PSR J1819-1458. Our 94-ks XMM-Newton observation of the high magnetic field 5*10^13 G pulsar reveals a blackbody spectrum (kT~130 eV) with a broad absorption feature, possibly composed of two lines at ~1.0 and ~1.3 keV. We performed a correlation analysis of the X-ray photons with radio pulses detected in 16.2 hours of simultaneous observations at 1-2 GHz with the Green Bank, Effelsberg, and Parkes telescopes, respectively. Both the detected X-ray photons and radio pulses appear to be randomly distributed in time. We find tentative evidence for a correlation between the detected radio pulses and X-ray photons on timescales of less than 10 pulsar spin periods, with the probability of this occurring by chance being 0.46%. This suggests that the physical process producing the radio pulses may also heat the polar-cap.

description: We study the optomechanical properties of stoichiometric SiN resonators through a combination of spectroscopic and interferometric imaging techniques. At room temperature, we demonstrate ultrahigh quality factors of $5 \times 10^7$ and a $f \times Q$ product of $1 \times 10^{14}$ Hz that, to our knowledge, correspond to the largest values yet reported for mesoscopic flexural resonators. Through a comprehensive study of the limiting dissipation mechanisms as a function of resonator and substrate geometry, we identify radiation loss through the supporting substrate as the dominant loss process. In addition to pointing the way towards higher quality factors through optimized substrate designs, our work realizes an enabling platform for the observation and control of quantum behavior in a macroscopic mechanical system coupled to a room temperature bath.

description: Digital water marking is one of the essential fields in image security and copyright protection. The proposed technique in this paper was based on the principle of protecting images by hide an invisible watermark in the image. The technique starts with merging the cover image and the watermark image with suitable ratios, i.e., 99% from the cover image will be merged with 1% from the watermark image. Technically, the fading process is irreversible but with the proposed technique, the probability to reconstruct the original watermark image is great. There is no perceptible difference between the original and watermarked image by human eye. The experimental results show that the proposed technique proven its ability to hide images that have the same size of the cover image. Three performance measures were implemented to support the proposed techniques which are MSE, PSNR, and SSIM. Fortunately, all the three measures have excellent values.

The main focus is the theoretical framework for the description of such processes as well as the conditions under which direct multiphoton multiple ionization processes can dominate over the sequential ones. We discuss in detail the mechanisms available in different wavelength ranges from the infrared to the hard X-rays. The effect of field fluctuations, present at this stage in all SASE free-electron-laser (FEL) facilities, as well as the effect of the interaction volume integration, are also discussed.

description: A transient Mie-like solution for acoustic scattering from a spherical object is derived within a mesh-free and singularity-free Time Domain Integral Equation (TDIE) framework for the sound-soft, sound-rigid and penetrable cases. The method is based on an expansion of the time domain Green's function that allows independent evaluation of spatial and temporal convolutions. Solution of the TDIE system may be effected by descretizing the integral equations in space and time, forming a matrix system via the Method of Moments, and solving the system with the Marching on in Time algorithm. Spatial discretization using tesseral harmonics leads to closed form expressions for spatial integrals, and use of a strictly band limited temporal interpolant permits efficient, accurate computation of temporal convolutions utilizing numerical quadrature. The accuracy of these integrations ensures late time stability and accuracy of the deconvolution data. Results presented demonstrate the accuracy and convergence of the approach for broadband simulations against Fourier transformed analytical data.

By using the perturbation theory, we demonstrate that the perturbative nature of PSS maintains when a substantial spin-orbit potential is included. With the explicit PSS-breaking potential, the spin-orbit effects on the pseudospin-orbit splittings are investigated in a quantitative way.

description: A hierarchy of measures of decoherence for many-electron systems that is based on the purity and the hierarchy of reduced electronic density matrices is presented. These reduced purities can be used to characterize electronic decoherence in the common case when the many-body electronic density matrix is not known and only reduced information about the electronic subsystem is available. Being defined from reduced electronic quantities, the interpretation of the reduced purities is more intricate than the usual (many-body) purity. This is because the nonidempotency of the $r$-body reduced electronic density matrix that is the basis of the reduced purity measures can arise due to decoherence or due to electronic correlations. To guide the interpretation, explicit expressions are provided for the one-body and two-body reduced purities for a general electronic state. Using them, the information content and structure of the one-body and two-body reduced purities is established, and limits on the changes that decoherence can induce are elucidated. The practical use of the reduced purities to understand decoherence dynamics in many-electron systems is exemplified through an analysis of the electronic decoherence dynamics in a model molecular system.

description: Context: A key science goal of the Gaia-ESO survey (GES) is to use the kinematics of low-mass stars in young clusters to probe their dynamical histories and how they populate the field as they become unbound. The clustering of low-mass stars around the massive W-R binary gamma^2 Velorum was one of the first GES targets. Aims: To empirically determine the radial velocity (RV) precision of GES data, construct a kinematically unbiased sample of cluster members and characterise their dynamical state. Methods: Targets were selected from colour-magnitude diagrams and intermediate resolution spectroscopy used to derive RVs and assess membership from the strength of the Li6708A line. The RV distribution was analysed using a maximum likelihood technique that accounts for unresolved binaries. Results: The GES RV precision is about 0.25km/s and sufficient to resolve velocity structure in the low-mass population around gamma^2 Vel. The structure is well fitted by two kinematic components with roughly equal numbers of stars; the first has an intrinsic dispersion of 0.34+/-0.16km/s, consistent with virial equilibrium. The second has a broader dispersion of 1.60+/-0.37km/s and is offset from the first by ~2km/s. The first population is older by 1-2Myr based on a greater level of Li depletion seen among its M-stars and is probably more centrally concentrated around gamma^2 Vel. Conclusions: We consider several formation scenarios, concluding that the two kinematic components are a bound remnant of the original, denser cluster that formed gamma^2 Vel, and a dispersed population from the wider Vela OB2 association, of which gamma^2 Vel is the most massive member. The apparent youth of gamma^2 Vel compared to the older (>=10Myr) low-mass population surrounding it suggests a scenario where the massive binary formed in a clustered environment after the formation of the bulk of the low-mass stars.[abridged]

description: Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is a highly aggressive pediatric bone cancer that is defined by a somatic fusion between the EWSR1 gene and an ETS family member, most frequently the FLI1 gene, leading to expression of a chimeric transcription factor EWSR1−FLI1. Otherwise, EwS is one of the most genetically stable cancers. The situation when the major cancer driver is well known looks like a unique opportunity for applying the systems biology approach in order to understand the EwS mechanisms as well as to uncover some general mechanistic principles of carcinogenesis. A number of studies have been performed revealing the direct and indirect effects of EWSR1−FLI1 on multiple aspects of cellular life. Nevertheless, the emerging picture of the oncogene action appears to be highly complex and systemic, with multiple reciprocal influences between the immediate consequences of the driver mutation and intracellular and intercellular molecular mechanisms, including regulation of transcription, epigenome and tumoral microenvironment. In this chapter, we present an overview of existing molecular profiling resources available for EwS tumors and cell lines and provide an online comprehensive catalogue of publicly available omics and other datasets. We further highlight the systems biology studies of EwS, involving mathematical modeling of networks and integration of molecular data. We conclude that despite the seeming simplicity, a lot has yet to be understood on the systems−wide mechanisms connecting the driver mutation and the major cellular phenotypes of this pediatric cancer. Overall, this chapter can serve as a guide for a systems biology researcher to start working on EwS.

description: New thermoelectric power (TEP) measurements on prototype heavy-fermion compounds close to magnetic quantum criticality are presented. The highly sensitive technique of TEP is an unique tool to reveal Fermi surface instabilities, referred here as Lifshitz transitions. The first focus is on the Ising CeRu2Si2 series. Doping CeRu2Si2 with Rh produces a decoupling between the first order metamagnetic transition and the pseudo-metamagnetism observed in the pure compound. Comparison is made with the case of YbRh2Si2 which is often considered as the archetype of local quantum criticality by contrast to CeRu2Si2, taken as an example of spin-density wave criticality. Up to now for ferromagnetic materials showing ferromagnetic wings, no simple case appears where the Fermi surface is preserved between the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases. An open issue is the consequence of Lifshitz transitions on superconductivity in these multiband systems.

description: L'articolo analizza le politiche di adeguamento amministrativo di tre paesi balcanici nel contesto dei negoziati di ampliamento con l'Unione Europea. I tre paesi sono Serbia, Montenegro e Macedonia del Nord. Questi paesi hanno un diverso grado di decentramento amministrativo, che sembra essere correlato al grado di frammentazione della popolazione nei diversi gruppi nazionali. Questo fattore e la tempistica del processo decisionale per l'allargamento influiscono sulla performance nell'attuazione delle riforme. I dati provengono dai rapporti della UE. Essi dimostrano che il Montenegro e la Serbia hanno un rendimento migliore rispetto alla Macedonia del Nord, perché hanno avviato per primi il cambiamento; ma il Montenegro rende meglio della Serbia perché è più decentralizzato.

description: A scheme for concatenating the recently invented polar codes with non-binary MDS codes, as Reed-Solomon codes, is considered. By concatenating binary polar codes with interleaved Reed-Solomon codes, we prove that the proposed concatenation scheme captures the capacity-achieving property of polar codes, while having a significantly better error-decay rate. We show that for any $ε> 0$, and total frame length $N$, the parameters of the scheme can be set such that the frame error probability is less than $2^{-N^{1-ε}}$, while the scheme is still capacity achieving. This improves upon $2^{-N^{0.5-ε}}$, the frame error probability of Arikan's polar codes. The proposed concatenated polar codes and Arikan's polar codes are also compared for transmission over channels with erasure bursts. We provide a sufficient condition on the length of erasure burst which guarantees failure of the polar decoder. On the other hand, it is shown that the parameters of the concatenated polar code can be set in such a way that the capacity-achieving properties of polar codes are preserved. We also propose decoding algorithms for concatenated polar codes, which significantly improve the error-rate performance at finite block lengths while preserving the low decoding complexity.

description: Small groups of interneurons, abbreviated by CPG for central pattern generators, are arranged into neural networks to generate a variety of core bursting rhythms with specific phase-locked states, on distinct time scales, that govern vital motor behaviors in invertebrates such as chewing, swimming, etc. These movements in lower level animals mimic motions of organs in higher animals due to evolutionarily conserved mechanisms. Hence, various neurological diseases can be linked to abnormal movement of body parts that are regulated by a malfunctioning CPG. In this paper, we, being inspired by recent experimental studies of neuronal activity patterns recorded from a swimming motion CPG of the sea slug {\it Melibe leonina}, examine a mathematical model of a 4-cell network that can plausibly and stably underlie the observed bursting rhythm. We develop a dynamical systems framework for explaining the existence and robustness of phase-locked states in activity patterns produced by the modeled CPGs. The proposed tools can be used for identifying core components for other CPG networks with reliable bursting outcomes and specific phase relationships between the interneurons. Our findings can be employed for identifying or implementing the conditions for normal and pathological functioning of basic CPGs of animals and artificially intelligent prosthetics that can regulate various movements.

description: In this paper a simple and very effective control system to monitor and suppress the beam jitter noise at the input of an optical system, called Beam Pointing Control (BPC) system, will be described showing the theoretical principle and an experimental demonstration for the application of large scale gravitational wave interferometers, in particular for the Advanced Virgo detector. For this purpose the requirements for the control accuracy and the sensing noise will be computed by taking into account the Advanced Virgo optical configuration and the outcomes will be compared with the experimental measurement obtained in the laboratory. The system has shown unprecedented performance in terms of control accuracy and sensing noise. The BPC system has achieved a control accuracy of ~ $10^{-8}$ rad for the tilt and ~ $10^{-7}$ m for the shift and a sensing noise of less than 1 nrad/$\sqrt{Hz}$ resulting compliant with the Advance Virgo gravitational wave interferometer requirements.

description: This paper considers the problem for estimating the quality of machine translation outputs which are independent of human intervention and are generally addressed using machine learning techniques.There are various measures through which a machine learns translations quality. Automatic Evaluation metrics produce good co-relation at corpus level but cannot produce the same results at the same segment or sentence level. In this paper 16 features are extracted from the input sentences and their translations and a quality score is obtained based on Bayesian inference produced from training data.

description: We report a novel class microwave photonic (MWP) notch filter with a very narrow isolation bandwidth (10 MHz), an ultrahigh stopband rejection (> 60 dB), a wide frequency tuning (1-30 GHz), and flexible bandwidth reconfigurability (10-65 MHz). This record performance is enabled by a new concept of sidebands amplitude and phase controls using an electro-optic modulator and an optical filter. This new concept enables energy efficient operation in active MWP notch filters, and opens up the pathway to enable low-power nanophotonic devices as high performance RF filters.

description: The Liouville equation governing the evolution of the density matrix for an atomic/molecular system is expressed in terms of a commutator between the density matrix and the Hamiltonian, along with terms that account for decay and redistribution. For finding solutions of this equation, it is convenient first to reformulate the Liouville equation by defining a vector corresponding to the elements of the density operator, and determining the corresponding time-evolution matrix. For a system of N energy levels, the size of the evolution matrix is N2xN2. When N is very large, evaluating the elements of these matrices becomes very cumbersome. We describe a novel algorithm that can produce the evolution matrix in an automated fashion for an arbitrary value of N. As a non-trivial example, we apply this algorithm to a fifteen-level atomic system used for producing optically controlled polarization rotation. We also point out how such a code can be extended for use in an atomic system with arbitrary number of energy levels.

description: In seiner 2004 eingereichten Dissertation folgt Ulf Vierke der Spur der Glasperlen von ihren europäischen Produktionsorten im oberfränkischen Fichtelgebirge und im böhmischen Isergebirge bis hin zu den Maasai in Ostafrika. Eine Route, die die Glasperlen sogar – jetzt zu Souvenirs verarbeitet – wieder nach Europa zurückführt. Es sind aber keineswegs die Glasperlen selbst, die im Zentrum der Untersuchung stehen, sondern vielmehr die Akteure, die mit diesen umgehen: die Perlenmacher in handwerklichen Betrieben etwa im Fichtelgebirge, die Arbeiter in den grossen Perlenindustrien Böhmens, die Händler in Europa, Indien und Afrika, die Frauen, die in Ostafrika Perlen zu Schmuck verarbeiten, und diejenigen, die letztlich diesen Schmuck tragen. Der Focus der Arbeit liegt auf dem Handeln der Menschen und auf der Vitalität gegenwärtiger Prozesse. Aneignung und Übereignung sind zentrale Begriffe, wenn es um die Interaktionen innerhalb der Vernetzung des globalen Warenaustausches geht. In Prozessen Aneignung, denen bisher das Hauptaugenmerk der Ethnologischen Forschung gilt, ist der Konsument Hauptakteur und dem Händler oder anderen Bringern kommt lediglich eine Hilfsrolle zu. Der Autor wendet die Perspektive und betont gerade die Prozesse der Entäusserung, des Vermittelns, des Werbens, die auf Seiten der Händler und Mittler untersucht werden müssen. Analog zur Aneignung führt er das Konzept der Übereignung ein. Sie umfasst den tatsächlichen Austausch, also den Übergang der Ware von einem Besitzer zu einem neuen, ebenso wie die kulturelle Interpretation und Umdeutung, die gerade zu das bestimmende Element der Handlungen eines Händlers ist. Der Händler ist in diesem Sinn mehr noch als ein Übersetzer, er ist cultural broker. Angeregt durch Sidney Mintzs klassische Studie aus dem Jahr 1985 “Sweetness and Power” bezieht der Autor seine Analyse nicht nur auf eine ethnologische Mikroperspektive sondern bezieht sich ebenso auf Prozesse und Strukturen globaler Integration. Indem er dies tut, eröffnet er auch einen facettenreichen Blick auf die historischen Hintergründe der Produktion, Distribution und Konsumption. Der Schwerpunkt liegt hierbei auf dem 16. bis 20. Jahrhundert. Analog zum weit gespannten Gegenstandsbereich kann der Autor auf ein breites methodologisches Instrumentarium rekurrieren, das von Teilneh-mender Beobachtung über Archiv-, Bibliotheks- und Museumsrecherchen bis hin zu Methoden aus der aktuellen Multi-Sited-Ethnography reicht.
