subject: Automation engineering

description: The increasing range of applications and services maintained by software systems has motivated the growing popularity of virtualization technology as a framework for the intensification of computing performance. Virtualization enables multiple independent systems to use a shared infrastructure at the same time. It is very challenging for multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run applications with different performance objectives and under unpredictable workload changes. Many concerns have been raised, especially regarding the increasing resource utilization and the sensitivity of performance properties. Consequently, it is essential to automate the management tasks such as managing performance properties dynamically at runtime while sharing a limited amount of resources. Some of the main challenges include the nonlinear characteristics of the system, limited resources, differentiated performance objectives, and workloads uncertainty. This thesis aimed to address these issues by implementing system identification and control engineering techniques for relative performance management and dynamic resource provisioning using the principles of optimization and feedback control. An experimental testbed of virtualized software system is established to generate real observational data and to confirm performance of the proposed approaches.

In this thesis, the dynamic of a virtualized software system is characterized in linear and nonlinear functions, through block-oriented system identification. The nonlinear functions from input and output elements are utilized as nonlinear compensator functions in the structure of a feedback control loop. The novelty of the proposed system identification is the model estimation of an output nonlinear model in a reduced parameter model of B-Spline function based on $k-means$ clustering approach. This approach reduces the impact of nonlinearities on the output response stability of feedback control system.

In addition, three control methods have been designed and implemented for performance management; PI-based feedback control, Data-driven control and Finite Control Set - Model Predictive Control. The control performances are evaluated in the testbed with different scenarios of workload and performance objective references. The experimental results have shown that control systems with pre-input and post-output nonlinear compensation provide robust performance and significant improvement in the stability of relative performance management in virtualized software system.

description: The development of new products is based mostly on simulations and expensive experiments. However, there are several methods to reduce experimental costs such as the utilization of the Reynolds number, a so-called comparable figure in fluid mechanics, which helps to draw conclusions about the real components from experiments with smaller components. In general, comparable figures are mainly used in the construction of ships and airplanes to get further information during the concept development stage. Solutions from construction engineering are available, as well. Nevertheless, there are currently no comparable figures available for the structural development in automotive design. Comparable figures for engineering mechanics could be used for the development of supporting structures (e.g., roll cages in motorsports, motorbike frames, etc.). The homologation of roll cages in the field of motorsports is based on quasi-static tests. This research provides comparable figures for structural mechanic problems with supporting structures based on beams (e.g., tubes). For a linear elastic material behavior, it is possible to build comparable figures for complex load cases on straight beams. There are comparable figures derived in this research for forces and moments, stress and strain, as well as for the deflection under the consideration of quasi static tests with linear elastic material behavior. For simple transient load cases (tension and bending loads) it is also shown that the comparison for each time step is possible. The laboratory experiments are based on 3D-printed plastic parts (ABS+). The difference in the internal structure of the different scaled parts is investigated, as well as an error propagation, showing a comparison of the parts. For the natural frequencies, it is also possible to build a comparable figure. These figures are based on a free vibrating beam. Unlike with static loads, small material imperfections have no significant influence on the experimental results. Therefore, the research shows the possibility of using comparable figures for structural mechanic problems of supporting structures with a constant cross-sectional area. In order to include a material influence into the comparable figure, there are approaches derived using the internal energy of a supporting structure. Further research is required to develop complete comparable figures, based on an approach using total energies.

title: Commitment und Motivationsfaktoren von freiwilligen Mitarbeiter/innen beim Österreichischen Roten Kreuz
Creators: name: Guger, Marion
Year: 2010

description: Unsere Gesellschaft könnte laut Martin (1997) ohne Menschen, die freiwillige und unbezahlte Tätigkeiten ausführen, nicht existieren. Diese Studie beschäftigt sich daher mit den Fragestellungen „Welche Motivationsfaktoren sind für freiwillige Tätigkeit verantwortlich?“ und „Gibt es auch bei freiwilligen Mitarbeiter/innen eine Bindung an das Unternehmen?“. Diese Fragen wurden mittels eines Onlinefragebogens, der anhand der Literatur von Bierhoff, Schülken und Hoff (2007), Tidwell (2005) und in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Österreichischen Roten Kreuz, entwickelt wurde, überprüft. 454 freiwillige Mitarbeiter/innen des ÖRK, die im Durchschnitt 4.5 Jahre in dieser Institution ehrenamtlich tätig sind, nahmen an der Umfrage teil. Die zentralen Aussagen dieser Studie weisen darauf hin, dass die drei Motivationsarten (altruistische, egoistische und soziale Motivation) bei der Freiwilligkeit von gleich großer Bedeutung sind und dass auch freiwillige Mitarbeiter/innen eine kognitive und emotionale Bindung an das Unternehmen aufbauen können.

description: © 2020 The Authors Aims: To investigate a hypothesised process model based on self-determination theory (SDT) in a population of people with type 2 diabetes. The model suggests that autonomy support from healthcare professionals is an important determinant of autonomous motivation and perceived competence in diabetes, which correlate positively in turn with wellbeing and negatively with HbA1c. Methods: This cross-sectional study used baseline questionnaire data and HbA1c levels from a randomised controlled trial investigating the effects of a person-centred consultation program. The questionnaire used validated scales and items assessing autonomy support, wellbeing, motivation, self-care activities, diabetes distress and perceived competence. Pearson correlations were calculated, and mediation analysis was conducted by multivariate linear regression analysis. Results: 116 participants completed the questionnaire. Autonomy support was significantly correlated with perceived competence and controlled motivation. Perceived competence correlated negatively with diabetes distress and positively with self-care activities. Diabetes distress correlated negatively with wellbeing. Controlled motivation correlated positively with autonomous motivation, which correlated positively with both wellbeing and self-care activities. Self-care activities correlated negatively with HbA1c. Conclusion: As suggested by the hypothesised SDT process model, autonomy support, autonomous motivation and perceived competence are associated with better wellbeing and improved HbA1c.

description: © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Identifying who might develop disabling pain or poor mental health after injury is a high priority so that healthcare providers can provide targeted preventive interventions. This retrospective cohort study aimed to identify predictors of disabling pain or probable mental health conditions at 12 months post-injury. Participants were recruited 12-months after admission to a major trauma service for a compensable transport or workplace injury (n = 157). Injury, compensation claim, health services and medication information were obtained from the Victorian Orthopaedic Trauma Outcome Registry, Victorian State Trauma Registry and Compensation Research Database. Participants completed questionnaires about pain, and mental health (anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder) at 12 months post-injury. One third had disabling pain, one third had at least one probable mental health condition and more than one in five had both disabling pain and a mental health condition at 12 months post-injury. Multivariable logistic regression found mental health treatment 3–6 months post-injury, persistent work disability and opioid use at 6–12 months predicted disabling pain at 12 months post-injury. The presence of opioid use at 3–6 months, work disability and psychotropic medications at 6–12 months predicted a mental health condition at 12 months post-injury. These factors could be used to identify at risk of developing disabling pain who could benefit from timely interventions to better manage both pain and mental health post-injury. Implications for healthcare and compensation system are discussed.

Portion of the surface never seen: the perceptual construction of unseen realities
Creators: name: Boyle, Colleen
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360602
subject: Fine arts

description: Imaging technology has vastly extended human perception by enabling access to aspects of reality that may never be seen with the naked eye, such as a distant galaxy or the blinding light of an eclipse. This project proposes that technologically mediated images form a perceptual bridge between what we know and what we can imagine, playing a pivotal role in constructing our perception of the unseen. By drawing on the work of image historians, theorists, and artists dealing with visual perception, this research project explores the specific question of how imagination interacts with photographs in order to perceptually construct an image of what would otherwise remain unseen.

Photographic imagery produced by space exploration is used throughout the project as an example of what may constitute an “unseen reality” but the notion of the unseen is also explored through the histories of art and of science, philosophy, geometry, the rhetoric of framing, theories of perception and of photography. Imagination is defined primarily through selected philosophical interpretations, and its possible intersection with visual analogy is examined via analysis of historic and contemporary examples from the arts and sciences. A key objective of this project was to produce artworks that form an interface between seeing and imagining in order to explore perception of “unseen realities”. To do this, a vocabulary of materiality was developed in recognition of the legacy of Modernist artists who explored the visual and conceptual concerns of perceptual experience: light, shadow, reflection, and geometry coming to form the basis of the project’s practical work. Creative practice provided a workshop for testing imaginative processes and the tautological idea of visualizing the unseen. A practice of generic, everyday photography provided a means of exploring photographic perception from the inside, ultimately highlighting the uneasy relationship between objective and subjective modes of seeing that the camera
engages in.

It is intended that this research will contribute to understanding the connections between technology, representation and knowledge. In combining creative practice with disparate concepts from science, art, history, and visual discourse, this project attempts to create what Roger Kemp describes as a “nodal point” where knowledge and imagination meet. This project proposes that imagination has the potential to construct a more holistic reality than the fractured one brought to us by images, albeit one that will never truly be seen.
title: Freizeit und Erholung bei Teleheimarbeitenden
Creators: name: Stolberg, Aglae
Year: 2010

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit behandelt das Thema der Teleheimarbeit und alle Vor- und Nachteile, welche diese eher modernere Art des Arbeitens mit sich bringt. Die Grundfrage bezieht sich darauf, inwiefern dieser Arbeitsstil in einem Zusammenhang mit Erholung, Frei-zeit und der Fähigkeit, sich psychologisch von seiner Arbeit zu distanzieren, steht. Auch wird das Thema der sozialen Isolation behandelt. Um diese Fragestellungen zu beantworten habe ich das Untersuchungsdesign der Tagebuch-studie gewählt. Dieses Tagebuch wurde von 41 Personen, sieben Tage lang zu den jeweils drei gleichen Zeitpunkten ausgefüllt; In der Früh vor der Arbeit, direkt nach der Arbeit, sowie vor dem Schlafen gehen. Die Fragenskalen waren in Anlehnung an das Fragenmodell von Sonnen-tag & Fritz (2007) aufgebaut. Themenbereiche wie Pausen- und Freizeitgestaltung, sowie all-gemeines Wohlbefinden, Arbeitsbelastungen, soziale Isolation und psychologische Distanzie-rung wurden versucht zu erfassen. Da die Fragebögen persönlich ausgetragen wurden, war deren Rücklaufquote sehr zufriedenstellend und die Antworten erlaubten interessante und kla-re Ergebnisse. Wie zu erwarten war, gab es einen signifikanten Einfluss der Arbeitsbelastung (quantitative- und qualitative Überforderung, soziale Isolation) auf das Wohlbefinden, die Schlafqualität und den Erholungsbedarf. Weiters zeigte die Arbeitsbelastung auch einen signi-fikanten Einfluss auf die psychologische Distanzierung. Interessante Ergebnisse zeigten die jeweiligen Freizeit- und Pausengestaltungen hinsichtlich des Erholungswertes und der psycho-logischen Distanzierung; z.B. konnten die verpflichtenden Haushaltstätigkeiten als erholsam empfunden werden und die psychologische Distanzierung zur Arbeit war dabei höher, als bei anderen Tätigkeiten. Auch konnte gezeigt werden, dass die soziale Isolation während des Ar-beitstages durch Freizeitaktivitäten mit Freunden und Familie am Abend zuvor verringert werden konnte. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung zeigen, dass Teleheimarbeit einerseits eine Erleichterung darstellt, andererseits muss der Lebens- und Berufsstil darauf angepasst werden. Wenn dies gelingt, kann diese Art zu Arbeiten mit Sicherheit als eher positiv empfunden werden und er-möglicht die Kombination vieler Dinge gleichzeitig.

description: © 2020 The Author(s). Purpose: Physicians and Standardised Residency Training physicians (SRTPs) have relatively high exposure to psychological violence. Its adverse effects are far greater than those of physical violence. However, no previous research has paid attention to the problem of psychological violence among them. This study aims to evaluate the extent, characteristics, and risk factors of psychological violence among SRTPs in comparison to physicians, and also to highlight the psychological violence experienced by SRTPs and suggest preventive measures. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in northern China. 884 physicians and 537 SRTPs completed a questionnaire which compiled by the ILO, ICN, WHO and PSI in 2003 to measure violence in the workplace. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were used to analyse results. Results: The effective response rates of physicians and SRTPs were 63.1%(884/1400) and 86.3%(537/622) respectively. 73.0%(645/884) of physicians and 24.8%(133/537) of SRTPs suffered psychological violence in the past year. Compared to physicians (29/645, 4.5%), SRTPs (42/133, 31.6%) experience more internal violence. Further, after experiencing psychological violence, physicians are willing to talk to family and friends, but SRTPs generally take no action. Shift work was a risk factor for both physicians (OR 1.440, 95% CI 1.014-2.203) and SRTPs (OR 1.851, 95% CI 1.217-2.815) suffering from psychological violence. In contrast, no anxiety symptoms protected physicians (OR 0.406, 95% CI 0.209-0.789) and SRTPs (OR 0.404, 95% CI 0.170-0.959) against psychological violence. Conclusions: SRTPs and physicians in northern China have a high risk of experiencing psychological violence, and physicians experience more. Meanwhile, there are obvious differences in responses to psychological violence and risk factors between them. Therefore, medical institutions should pay more attention to psychological violence, especially among SRTPs, such as supporting the reporting of psychological violence, strengthening team relationships, and providing psychological comfort and counselling.

description: © 2020 The Author(s). Background: To evaluate the impact of a restricted access policy on workplace violence in a healthcare setting. Methods: We surveyed healthcare workers before and after the implementation of a restricted-access policy at a tertiary hospital in north-eastern China. Data were collected in April 2017 and January 2019. Fisher's exact test were used to compare the difference in workplace violence prevalence between responses to two surveys. Survey 1 (S1) collected data from 345 healthcare professionals who had worked in the inpatient ward for at least 12 months. Survey 2 (S2) included 338 healthcare workers from the same ward who had been employed for more than two years. The effective response rates for the two studies was 79.31 and 83.25%, respectively. All 18 female security guards were included in the investigation in S2. Results: The prevalence of psychological violence was 62.03% in S1 and 34.62% in S2, the difference in prevalence showing statistical significance (P = 0.000), while the prevalence of physical violence was 3.77 and 4.73% respectively, showing no statistical significance (P = 0.573). The change in the rate of injury caused by physical violence was also statistically significant at 76.92 and 31.25% (P = 0.025), respectively. Security guards were at high risk of workplace violence under the policy. Most healthcare professionals thought this policy ameliorated treatment order, the sense of security, anxiety about workplace violence, and so forth, but one-third of the respondents thought that it caused patient dissatisfaction. Conclusion: While the restricted access policy may be effective for healthcare professionals in avoiding or dealing with violence, such policy could contribute to new problems regarding the safety of security guards and the potential dissatisfaction of patients. The policy should be further developed to alleviate this phenomenon.

Notes.
 Stagonosporopsis caricae was synonymised as Phoma caricae with Mycosphaerella caricae previously (Sivanesan 1990). It formed a distinct lineage in Stagonosporopsis (Fig. 4). Zhang et al. (2022) observed its sexual morph and is characterised by ascomata pseudothecioid, subglobose, 121 × 142 μm, ostiolate, walls of brown textura angularis and smooth. Asci were bitunicate, cylindrical to clavate, 7 × 90 μm, 8 - spored, ascospores elliptical, straight to slightly curved, 5 × 17 μm, 1 - septate, constricted at the septum, sub-hyaline and smooth. As one of three Stagonosporopsis species, S. caricae caused gummy stem blight (Jeong et al. 2022 b; Seblani et al. 2023). In the present study, two isolates from healthy tea plant leaves grouped with S. caricae with high statistical support (Fig. 4). This is the first report of S. caricae isolated from C. sinensis.

Art and The Anthropocene: processes of responsiveness and communication in an era of environmental uncertainty
Creators: name: Rae, Jen
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This practice-led research project explores processes of cultural response to the communication of complex environmental issues through two main forms of process-based art production: one in the private studio in the form of drawings and the other in the public sphere through varied approaches. It examines some of the prevailing human activities and cultural mythologies that led us to the current ecological crisis and highlights some of the critical challenges environmental communicators face in communicating the findings of climate science to diverse audiences. I have sought to emphasise the significance of affective communication methods in conveying complex and often-contentious environmental issues, and the role art may contribute to this exchange.

The aim of this research is to underscore some of the opportunities for artists to engage as interlocutors and mediators within the network of environmental communication. Accordingly, the research examines some of the historical precedents of environmental art and how contemporary artists approach both local and global environmental issues.

The research offers new knowledge in two ways. First, in the processes of response and communication in the production of public artworks, which explore local issues such as water protection and security, to large-scale drawings that address broader ecological issues influencing global climate change. And, secondly in the exegesis, where the findings of process-based art production and contextual research contribute to the field of environmental art discourse. It also offers methods of approach for artists and science communicators to work together in addressing some of the greatest environmental challenges of the Anthropocene.

description: © 2020 Kouvari et al. The women’s global health agenda has recently been reformulated to address more accurately cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The aim of the present work was to review the global and national policies and practices that address sex equality in health with a focus on CVDs in women. Scientific databases and health organizations’ websites that presented/discussed policies and initiative targeting to enhance a sex-centered approach regarding general health and/or specifically cardiac health care were reviewed in a systematic way. In total, 61 relevant documents were selected. The selected policies and initiatives included position statements, national action plans, evidence-based guidelines, guidance/recommendations, awareness campaigns, regulations/legislation, and state-of-the art reports by national/international projects and conferences. The target audiences of large stakeholders (eg, American Heart Association, European Society of Cardiology, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) were female citizens, health professionals, and researchers. Much as policy-makers have recognized the sex/gender gap in the CVD field, there is still much to be done. Thereby, tailor-made strategies should be designed, evaluated, and delivered on a global and most importantly a national basis to achieve gender equity with regard to CVDs.
title: Zerstörung von Pollen in Hinblick auf forensische Untersuchungen
Creators: name: Preusche, Philipp
Year: 2010

description: Pollen ist überall. Jedem Standort bzw. Gegenstand kann ein individuelles Pollenprofil zuge-ordnet werden. Wird eine Probe bei Zimmertemperatur gelagert, kommt es zur Zerstörung von Pollen. Dadurch verändert sich das Pollenprofil der Probe. Das heißt konkret, dass die Zahl der intakten Pollenkörner abnimmt und die Zahl der zerstörten (unidentifizierbaren) Pollenkörner zunimmt. Das Ausmaß der Veränderung ist variabel und zeitabhängig. Trotz starker Veränderungen des Pollenprofils sind auch nach mehreren Monaten alle ursprünglich in der Probe vorhandenen Pollentypen nachzuweisen, was für forensische Untersuchungen von großer Bedeutung sein kann.
description: Pollen is everywhere. An individual pollen profile can be assigned to each location or object. If a specimen is stored by room temperature, pollen will be deteriorated. In this way the pollen profile is modified, which means that the number of intact pollen grains decreases while the number of deteriorated (unidentifiable) pollen grains increases. The amount of such a change varies, but is dependent on time. Despite severe changes in the pollen profile, all pollen types that were present in the pristine specimen are still traceable after several months. That again can be of high importance for forensic studies.

description: © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Sports entrepreneurship has been considered an important part of sports organisations when overcoming crisis situations. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of the crisis derived from COVID-19 on sports entrepreneurship and whether there are differences in the prediction of entrepreneurship on service quality in non-profit sports clubs. To this end, 145 sports clubs were analysed before and after the outbreak of the virus in society. Paired sample-t tests were carried out to determine the differences in variables studied before (Time I) and after (Time II) the COVID-19 outbreak, and correlations and hierarchical linear regressions were used to analyse the relationship between the variables studied in the two different stages. The results obtained show that risk-taking and innovation are significantly higher after the appearance of COVID-19, while proactivity has not undergone significant changes. Finally, the relationship between sports entrepreneurship and service quality is positive and significant in both stages but stronger before the crisis.

description: There is a rather insistent opinion abroad that the visual field‘s horizontal extent to the side is slightly below 90°. The myth probably results from a technical limitation of dome perimeters introduced in the 40s and wide-spread thereafter, that (without add-ons) measure only up to 90° and employ small, standardized stimuli.

An Evaluation of Physiological and Behavioral Indicators of Postpartum Diseases and Heat Stress in Dairy Cows
Creators: name: Lee, Amanda Renee
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Abstract:
Precision dairy monitoring technologies can be used to monitor changes in physiology and behavior associated with transition period postpartum diseases and heat stress. Research Objective One was to evaluate how traditional visual examination, body condition, and locomotion with and without blood, milk, and urine variables and precision dairy monitoring technologies determine variable association with hyperketonemia, metritis, mastitis, hypocalcemia and retained placenta,. This was accomplished by monitoring cows 2 weeks before calving to 3 weeks after calving for any postpartum diseases using daily visual examination and automatically detected variables including activity, milk yield, milk components, lying behavior, feeding behavior, rumination time, and reticulorumen temperature. Deviations in reticulorumen temperature, milk production, eating time, lying time, and activity were detected by precision dairy monitoring technologies among cows with postpartum diseases. Research Objective Two was to determine the association between automatically detected variables and heat stress. This objective was accomplished by monitoring cows under natural ventilation, fans, and fans plus sprinklers for variations under each condition. Changes in physiology and behavior as detected by precision dairy monitoring technologies was associated with postpartum diseases and heat stress. Using precision dairy monitoring technologies and visual examinations may aid producers in identifying postpartum disease and heat stress.

description: Der Ansatzpunkt dieser Arbeit liegt in der prinzipiellen Feststellung, dass der Autor Thomas Bernhard nur als selbstkonstruierte Kunstfigur wahrnehmbar ist. Vieldiskutiert ist in der Forschung das Problem der verwischenden Grenze von Realität und Fiktion in den Werken des Autors. Eine Diskussion, welche sich auch auf die Figur des Autors selbst übertragen lässt. Bernhard ging den Weg des Autors, konstruierte für sich eine Sprache, aus der heraus er alles schöpfte, eine eigene Geisteswelt schuf. In allen seinen Lebensbereichen, vor allem jenen, die aus heutiger Sicht noch nachvollziehbar sind, inszeniert sich der Autor durch seine unverwechselbare Sprache selbst. Anhand eines theoretischen Dreischritts wird der Weg von Bernhards konstruierter Kunstfigur des Autors von der fiktiven Bühne hin zur öffentlichen Bühne nachgezeichnet und dabei die Methoden der Inszenierung für jedes angesprochene Medium (Theater, Fernsehen, Autorenrede), in jedem Schritt, speziell untersucht. Der Autor Bernhard muss aus der heutigen Betrachtung als die Kunstfigur Bernhard angesehen werden, weil alle Rezeptionspunkte auf dessen Sprache aufgebaut sind, die dieser selbst konstruierte, somit ein Bild von sich schuf. Bernhard bewegte sich gleich seiner Literatur auch im öffentlichen Raum, niemals in einem außerliterarischen Bereich, sprach in einer Sprache, die dem Autor glich. Alles bei Bernhard muss durch dessen Sprache hinweg betrachtet werden, somit auf die daraus resultierende reine Künstlichkeit, durch die Abstraktion der Worte. „Alles ist Sprache“, nichts weiter als die Inszenierung eines Selbst.

description: Die russische Revolution als Ereignis sowie der Kommunismus als Idee weckten bei vielen Intellektuellen aus dem Westen Hoffnungen auf eine bessere Zukunft für die Menschheit. Reisende in das „neue“ bolschewistische Russland suchten eine Art Heimat und versprachen sich das diesseitige Heil durch eine Neuordnung der Gesellschaft. Dabei gleichen die zu erzielenden Ideale zu einem Teil denen christlicher Vorstellung. Die Arbeit untersucht somit zunächst relevante Gemeinsamkeiten im Gedankengut des Kommunismus und des Christentums beziehungsweise Charakteristika, die den atheistischen Kommunismus und Bolschewismus als ein Glaubensbekenntnis definieren lassen. Anhand der Reiseberichte von Alfons Paquet (Im kommunistischen Rußland. Briefe aus Moskau), Arthur Holitscher (Drei Monate in Sowjetrussland) sowie Franz Jung (Reise in Rußland) und für den Kontext wichtiger Schriften sowie biographischer Besonderheiten werden jene durch die Revolution aufkeimenden heilsversprechenden „quasi-religiösen“ oder „religionsersetzenden“ Vorstellungen durchleuchtet. Dabei reihen sich diese Berichte in eine Gattung, die von Jacques Derrida als eigene Textsorte namens Retour de l’U.R.S.S., deren Prototyp er in André Gides gleichnamigem Rückkehrerbericht sah und welche sich nicht zuletzt durch jenes heilserwartende Moment auszeichnet, aufgefasst wird, was als zusätzlicher Hintergrund der Arbeit dient, vor dem die Berichte der behandelten Autoren untersucht wurden.

description: Der/Die KomponistIn ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil der künstlerischen Welt. Dieser Platz definierte sich im Laufe der Jahrhunderte. Doch wo steht der/die KomponistIn am Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts? Wie wirkt er/sie und in welcher Rolle findet sich der/die KomponistIn wieder? Diese Arbeit beginnt mit einer historischen Einleitung, die sich von der französischen Revolution bis zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts erstreckt. Weiters wird auf die Musikgeschichte dieser Zeit näher eingegangen, mit besonderer Fokussierung auf die wichtigsten KomponistInnen, ihre Stile und ihre Rolle in der Gesellschaft von damals bis heute. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit werden Interviews vorgestellt, die im Frühjahr 2009 durchgeführt wurden und den/die Komponisten/Komponistin am Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts darstellen sollen. Die Intention dabei lag auf der Darstellung des/der zeitgenössischen Komponisten/Komponistin und seiner/ihrer Wirkung. Katharina Klement und Wolfram Wagner, österreichische, zeitgenössische KomponistInnen, stellten sich ausgewählten Fragen.
