description: It is believed that the density functional theory (DFT) describes most elements with s, p and d orbitals very well, except some materials that having strongly localized and correlated valence electrons. In this work, we find that the widely employed exchange-correlation (xc) functionals, including LDA, GGA and meta-GGA, underestimate the shear modulus and phase stability of V and Nb greatly. The advanced hybrid functional that is usually better for correlated system, on the other hand, completely fails in these two simple metals. This striking failure is revealed due to the orbital localization error in GGA, which is further deteriorated by hybrid functionals. This observation is corroborated by a similar failure of DFT+U and van der Waals functionals when applied to V and Nb. To remedy this problem, an semi-empirical approach of DFT+J is proposed which can delocalize electrons by facilitating the on-site exchange. Furthermore, it is observed that including density derivatives slightly improves the performance of the semi-local functionals, with meta-GGA outperforms GGA, and the latter is better than LDA. This discovery indicates the possibility and necessity to include higher-order density derivatives beyond the Laplacian level for the purpose to remove the orbital localization error (mainly from d orbitals) and delocalization error (mainly from s and p orbitals) completely in V and Nb, so that to achieve a better description of their electronic structures. The same strategy can be applied to other d electron system and f electron system.

description: This paper revisits the issue of estimating the relationship between calorie intake and income, and presents and compare estimates of this relationship for China and Vietnam. Semiparametric generalized additive models are estimated and their performances are compared to the performance of the classical double log model using the revealed performance test of Racine and Parmeter (2014). This methodology is implemented using successive waves of the Chinese Health and Nutrition Survey and of the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey. The application delivers some new and interesting insights on nutritional transition in the two countries between 2004 and today.

description: This paper presents the results of an international multi-disciplinary research project on the measurement of food consumption in national household surveys. Food consumption data from household surveys are possibly the single most important source of information on poverty, food security, and nutrition outcomes at national, sub-national and household level, and contribute building blocks to global efforts to monitor progress towards the major international development goals. The paper synthesizes case studies from a diverse set of developing and OECD countries, looking at some of the main outstanding research issues as identified by a recent international assessment of 100 existing national household surveys (Smith et al., 2014). The project mobilized expertise from different disciplines (statistics, economics, food security, nutrition) to work towards enhancing our understanding of how to improve the quality and availability of food consumption and expenditure data, while making them more valuable for a diverse set of users. The individual studies summarized in this paper analyze, both theoretically and empirically, how different surveys design options affect the quality of the data being collected and, in turn, the implications for statistical inference and policy analysis. The individual studies and a synthesis chapter (on which this paper is based) are forthcoming in a special issue of Food Policy. The conclusions and recommendations derived from this collection of studies will be instrumental in advancing the methodological agenda for the collection of household level food data, and will provide national statistical offices and survey practitioners worldwide with practical insights for survey design, while providing poverty, food and nutrition policymakers with greater understanding of these issues, as well as improved tools for and better guidance in policy formulation.

description: We consider a special class of N=4 quiver quantum mechanics relevant in the description of BPS states of D4D0 branes in type II Calabi-Yau compactifications and the corresponding 4-dimensional black holes. These quivers have two abelian nodes in addition to an arbitrary number of non-abelian nodes and satisfy some simple but stringent conditions on the set of arrows, in particular closed oriented loops are always present. The Higgs branch can be described as the vanishing locus of a section of a vector bundle over a product of a projective space with a number of Grassmannians. The Lefschetz-Sommese theorem then allows to separate induced from singular cohomology which leads to the notion of pure-Higgs states. We compute explicit formulae for an index counting these pure-Higgs states and prove -- for this special class of quivers -- some previously stated conjectures about them.

description: We present the spectral evolution, light curve, and corresponding interpretation for the "normal-bright" Type Ia Supernova 2005cg discovered by ROTSE-IIIc. The host is a low-luminosity (M_r = -16.75), blue galaxy with strong indications of active star formation and an environment similar to that expected for SNe Ia at high redshifts. Early-time (t ~ -10 days) optical spectra obtained with the HET reveal an asymmetric, triangular-shaped Si II absorption feature at about 6100 Åwith a sharp transition to the continuum at a blue shift of about 24,000 km s^-1. By 4 days before maximum, the Si II absorption feature becomes symmetric with smoothly curved sides. Similar Si II profile evolution has previously been observed in other supernovae, and is predicted by some explosion models, but its significance has not been fully recognized. Although the spectra predicted by pure deflagration and delayed detonation models are similar near maximum light, they predict qualitatively different chemical abundances in the outer layers and thus give qualitatively different spectra at the earliest phases. The Si line observed in SN 2005cg at early times requires the presence of burning products at high velocities and the triangular shape is likely to be formed in an extended region of slowly declining Si abundance that characterizes delayed detonation models. The spectra show a high-velocity Ca II IR feature that coincides in velocity space with the Si II cutoff. This supports the interpretation that the Ca II is formed when the outer layers of the SN ejecta sweep up about 5 x 10^-3 M_sun of material within the progenitor system. (Abridged)

Polystylism and narrative potential in the music of Alfred Schnittke
Creators: name: Tremblay, Jean-Benoît
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This dissertation examines the narrative potential created by polystylism in selected works of Alfred Schnittke. "Polystylism," the combination of many styles in a single work, is Schnittke's answer to a compositional crisis that he experienced as a young Soviet composer. Polystylistic works often present blunt juxtapositions of styles that cannot be explained by purely musical considerations. I argue that listeners, confronted with those stylistic gaps, instinctively attempt to resolve them by the construction of a narrative. Three works, each showing different approaches to polystylism, are examined. The Symphony No. 1, which constitutes a kind a polystylistic manifesto, presents a number of exact quotations of Beethoven, Grieg, Tchaikovsky and Chopin among others. It also makes uses of the Dies Irae and of various stylistic allusions. The result is a work in which Schnittke, asking how to write a Symphony, eventually kills the genre before resurrecting it. Elaborated from a fragment of a pantomime by Mozart, Moz-Art is a reflection on the opposition between the old and the new, between the past and the present. The work builds upon the plurality of styles already present in Mozart's music. For the Concerto Grosso No. 1, Schnittke devised a program, albeit a secret one. The piece is at the center of a complex network of references, some unveiled in the work's sketches, others originating from the film music of the composer. A story involving the Jungian concepts of animus, anima and collective unconscious is developed around musical elements as diverse as the BACH musical motive, a folktune, a dodecaphonic waltz and a tango. The tango, which periodically reoccurs in Schnittke's work, is the topic of the last chapter. Over the course of several works, the tango accumulates diverse meanings in Schnittke's music. In the Symphony No. 1, it is an easy solution to a composer's problem; in Agony, it is a lure appealing to Rasputin's inner demons; in the Concerto Grosso No. 1, the tango takes part in a stylistic Utopia; in Die Historia von D. Johann Fausten , it is the feminine; in Life with an Idiot , it is the violence present in everyone.

description: We investigate the integrable structures in an N=2 superconfomal Sp(N) Yang-Mills theory with matter, which is dual to an open+closed string system. We restrict ourselves to the BMN operators that correspond to free string states. In the closed string sector, an integrable structure is inherited from its parent theory, N=4 SYM. For the open string sector, the planar one-loop mixing matrix for gauge invariant holomorphic operators is identified with the Hamiltonian of an integrable SU(3) open spin chain. Using the K-matrix formalism we identify the integrable open-chain boundary conditions that correspond to string boundary conditions. The solutions to the algebraic Bethe ansatz equations (ABAE) with a few impurities are shown to recover the anomalous dimensions that exactly match the spectrum of free open string in the plane-wave background. We also discuss the properties of the solutions of ABAE beyond the BMN regime.

description: Degradation of water ecosystem caused by excessive loads of nutrient from agricultural sources continues to be a problem in many countries. Targeted regulation has been suggested for implementation of nitrogen (N) abatement measures to achieve N reductions. Achieving cost-efficient implementation of N abatement actions may depend on farmers’ response to the suggested policy. In this paper we present a method for analysing farmers’ likelihood of engaging in N abatement trading contracts. By use of a hypothetical market experiment we derive the demand and supply functions for Danish farmers. Our findings suggests, that farm and farmer characteristics influence, not only the decision whether to participate or not and whether to supply or sell N abatement, but also on the amounts to be traded. We conclude that introducing trade as an N abatement policy measure involves challenges due to the spatial specificity of the abatement targets leading to small markets and lack of heterogeneity. The results can be used to support the design of policy incentives used to address nutrient reductions.

description: Given Russia’s leading position in the world wheat trade, how well its grain markets function becomes very important question to evaluate the state of future global food security. We use a threshold vector error correction model to explicitly account for the influence of trade costs and distance on price relationships in the grain markets of Russia and the USA. In addition, we study impact of market characteristics on regional wheat market integration. Empirical evaluation shows that distance between markets, inter-regional trade flows, export orientation, export tax and export ban all have a significant impact on the magnitude of wheat market integration.

description: Die Veröffentlichung beginnt mit Vorworten des Herausgebers (S. 7f) und des Bearbeiters (S. 9ff) der Tagebücher. Dem Herausgeber Roland Müller ist es ein Anliegen, die jüdisch-deutsche Geschichte nicht nur als Geschichte von Opfern zu betrachten – vom auch Stuttgart ergreifenden Pogrom 1348 bis zu den Deportationen 1941– 1945. Seiner Ansicht nach fordern und befördern die jüdischen Gemeinden selbst nach den Umbrüchen 1989/90 eine andere Perspektive und zeigen neues Selbstbewusstsein. Die Übergabe des Archivs der Israelitischen Religionsgemeinschaft an das Stadtarchiv Stuttgart 2003 sieht er als Zeichen des Vertrauens und der Beheimatung, innerhalb der Arbeit des Stadtarchivs als Perspektivenwechsel auf die Geschichte der jüdischen Gemeinschaft vor der Schoah (S. 7). Mit finanzieller Unterstützung der Stolperstein-Initiative konnten sechs Tagebücher, Haushalts- und Geschäftsbücher als Grundlage der vorliegenden Veröffentlichung in Israel privat erworben werden. Sie soll ein Zeichen setzen für die Dokumentation der ganzen jüdischen Stadtgeschichte Stuttgarts sowie die Sicherung und Nutzbarmachung von Quellen für Bürgerschaft und Forschung (S. 8). Der Bearbeiter Rainer Redies führt weiter aus, dass die Tagebücher der Familie Kahn 2007 von einem israelischen Antiquar angeboten wurden. Sie erwiesen sich für ihn als Hinweis auf Personen der Zeit von 1905 – 1925 als so interessant, dass er die Transkription übernahm. Das Konvolut besteht aus sechs Tagebüchern 1905 –1925 (Nr. 2,4,5,7,8,13), rund 2.400 Seiten, einem Haushaltsbuch 1910 –1918 und einem Copirbuch mit Geschäfts- und Privatkorrespondenz 1911– 1921 (S. 9). Kommentierte Fotografien der Originale (S. 10) ergänzen das Vorwort. Die Transkription umfasst fünf Tagebücher (Nr. 2,4,5,7,8), da das sechste eine spätere Zeit betrifft. Über den Verbleib der restlichen Tagebücher (Nr. 1,3,6,9 –12) konnte nichts in Erfahrung gebracht werden. Der Bearbeiter erläutert sehr genau seine wissenschaftliche Arbeitsweise (S. 11). Auf die historische Zeichnung eines Familienstammbaums (S. 12) folgt eine kurze Vorstellung der Protagonisten, die den Überblick in den folgenden Tagebüchern erleichtert.

description: Die gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz landwirtschaftlicher Nutztierhaltungsverfahren hängt maßgeblich mit dem wahrgenommenen Maß an Tierwohl zusammen und ist in den vergangenen Jahren rückläufig. Bedenken bestehen auch gegen den Einsatz von Technik in der Tierhaltung. Wenig bekannt ist bisher, wie Landwirte den Zusammenhang von Tierwohl und Technik der Tierhaltung sehen. In Fokusgruppendiskussionen und Tiefeninterviews mit Schweinehaltern wurden mit einem qualitativen Forschungsansatz die Sichtweise von Landwirten auf Tierwohl und Möglichkeiten einer Tierwohlverbesserung durch Technik diskutiert. Die Daten wurden inhaltsanalytisch aufbereitet, strukturiert und ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass Landwirte aus rational-ökonomischen, aus persönlich-identitätsbezogenen und aus emotional-relationalen Motiven ein starkes Interesse an Tierwohl auf den eigenen Betrieben zeigen. Der Einsatz von Technik in der Nutztierhaltung wird in erster Linie als Anpassungsstrategie an wirtschaftliche Rahmenbedingungen gesehen. Konkret auf Fütterungstechnik, Klimatechnik, Stalleinrichtungstechnik sowie Technik für Beschäftigung bezogen, sehen Landwirte Einflussmöglichkeiten auf Gesundheit, Leistung und Verhalten der Tiere, die im Sinne des Tierwohls nutzbar sind. Technik bedeutet für Landwirte eine Entlastung bei der Steuerung situativer Haltungsbedingungen und der Versorgung der Tiere. Zugleich übernimmt Technik eine Kontrollfunktion durch die Messung und Dokumentation tier- und stallbezogener Daten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine umfassende Bewertung von Technik zur Verbesserung von Tierwohl durch einen engen ökonomisch-rationalen Kostenbegriff aus Landwirtesicht nicht ausreichend ist. Vielmehr zeigt sich, dass die Bewertung von Technik für Tierwohl auch die persönlich-identitätsbezogenen und emotional-relationalen Kosten der Tierhalter mitberücksichtigen sollte. Diese umfassendere Sicht bietet auch Ansatzpunkte für die Schaffung einer gesellschaftlich stärker akzeptierten Nutztierhaltung.

description: The pork sector has been at the centre of Russia’s import substitution policy. It has shown a very dynamic development reaching the government’s aim to increase self-sufficiency to 85% in 2015. However, this policy is facing several challenges. Results of a DCC-MGARCH model confirm our hypothesis that price volatility and thus risk have increased strongly in the pork supply chain in Russia. Concurrently, the volatility spill-overs between the price of slaughtered pork and the price of live swine have more than doubled, indicating increased price interdependence.

Dieses Potential wird jedoch von einem höheren Wareneinsatz und von höheren Verarbeitungskosten überschattet. Ein Bioverband kann hier ansetzen und die Bio-Gastronomen unterstützen. Durch qualitative Experteninterviews wurden die Erwartungen an den Bioverband und dessen zukünftige Herausforderungen hinsichtlich der Unterstützung von Bio-Gastronomen identifiziert. Aus den Interviews ging hervor, dass die befragten Bio-Gastronomen durchaus offen für eine Kooperation mit dem Bioverband sind und sie sich vor allem mehr Unterstützung bei der Suche nach geeigneten Lieferanten bzw. Bio-Landwirten wünschen. Die Mehrheit der interviewten Bio-Gastronomen setzen biologische Lebensmittel aus Überzeugung ein und achten dabei auf Regionalität und Saisonalität. Die befragten Bio-Gastronomen sind der Meinung, dass der steigende Preisdruck in Zukunft die größte Herausforderung darstellen wird.

Anhand von Daten des Schweizer Testbetriebsnetzes wird dem in Teilen Deutschlands und Österreichs gebräuchlichen Rein¬ertragsverfahren ein betriebszweigbasiertes Verfahren mit standardisierten Werten gegenübergestellt. Während das Reinertragsverfahren ein Gesamtbewertungsverfahren ist, erlaubt das betriebszweigbasierte Verfahren eine modulare Bewertung verschiedener Betriebsbestandteile und minimiert den Einfluss des Betriebsleiters bei der Wertermittlung. Der Quervergleich zeigt vergleichbare Mittelwerte, aber hohe einzelbetriebliche Abweichungen zwischen den zwei Verfahren. Aufgrund der Verwendung von Standardwerten fallen die Variationskoeffizienten bei der betriebszweigbasierten Bewertung deutlich geringer aus.

description: Tenancy shares in agriculture are increasing - in Europe as a whole as well as in Austria. At the same time, soil degradation and erosion have increasingly become a concern. Since the early days of the science of economics, researchers have speculated that tenancy discourages farmers from making investments into productivity and soil conservation measures. Empirical evidence for this hypothesis has so far been mixed and is scarce for European countries. This paper investigates the impact of tenure on soil conservation behaviour of Austrian farmers by examining their crop choices. A regression analysis with farm-fixed effects shows that the effect of tenancy status for soil conservation behaviour is very weak or insignificant. However, differences at the level of the farm(er) exist. We speculate that the strong institutions surrounding the rental of agricultural land foster soil conserving behaviour of tenants.

description: We present the results of experimental and theoretical study of irregular, tetrahedral microwave networks consisting of coaxial cables (annular waveguides) connected by T-joints. The spectra of the networks were measured in the frequency range 0.0001-16 GHz in order to obtain their statistical properties such as the integrated nearest neighbor spacing distribution and the spectral rigidity. The comparison of our experimental and theoretical results shows that microwave networks can simulate quantum graphs with time reversal symmetry. In particular, we use the spectra of the microwave networks to study the periodic orbits of the simulated quantum graphs. We also present experimental study of directional microwave networks consisting of coaxial cables and Faraday isolators for which the time reversal symmetry is broken. In this case our experimental results indicate that spectral statistics of directional microwave networks deviate from predictions of Gaussian orthogonal ensembles (GOE) in random matrix theory approaching, especially for small eigenfrequency spacing s, results for Gaussian unitary ensembles (GUE). Experimental results are supported by the theoretical analysis of directional graphs.

description: This paper investigates the role of farm diversification for dietary diversity of households in smallholder agriculture. We use the Living Standards Measurement Study – Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) dataset of the World Bank from Ethiopia and Tanzania. The results of the study show that farm diversification contributes to dietary diversity of farm households. Furthermore, we show that the effects of farm diversification and proportion of purchased food on the dietary diversity of the household significantly varies across families who are in food poverty, and the food secure families. Rural development efforts towards diversified farming systems can contribute to improve the food security and dietary diversity of farm households, especially if targeted towards nutritionally rich food production schemes.

description: »Wer dieses Gedenkbuch zur Hand nimmt, sollte sich Zeit nehmen. Es braucht Zeit und es braucht Mut, sich dem zu stellen, was hier geschildert wird, geschildert werden muss.« (S. 7) So beginnt das Buch, das mitunter brutal an die Schuld und die Versäumnisse Evangelischer Kirchen im Nationalsozialismus erinnert, die ihre getauften jüdischen Mitglieder schmählich im Stich gelassen haben, was für viele der Porträtierten zugleich ein Todesurteil oder im günstigsten Fall Überleben durch Flucht bedeutete. Dagegen stehen Lebensbeschreibungen Überlebender, die ihrem »Dienst treu geblieben sind« und weiter als Theolog_innen oder Gemeindeglieder das reformatorische Glaubenszeugnis bezeugten (S. 7). Wie immer in solchen Zusammenhängen wird das begrenzte Maß an ethischen Möglichkeiten bei Tätern und das begrenzte Maß an Handlungsoptionen bei den Opfern deutlich; viele der kirchlichen Schreibtischtäter waren feige und keine Glaubenszeugen, weil sie einfache Formen der Mitmenschlichkeit verweigert haben – auf der anderen Seite stehen aber auch viele Helfer_innen, die den getauften jüdischen Glaubensgeschwistern mit »Mut, Klarheit, Phantasie, Entschlossenheit und Überzeugungskraft « (S. 7) zur Seite gestanden sind.

description: We study the decay rate $θ(a)$ that characterizes the late time exponential decay of the first-passage probability density $F_a(t|0) \sim e^{-θ(a)\, t}$ of a diffusing particle in a one dimensional confining potential $U(x)$, starting from the origin, to a position located at $a>0$. For general confining potential $U(x)$ we show that $θ(a)$, a measure of the barrier (located at $a$) crossing rate, has three distinct behaviors as a function of $a$, depending on the tail of $U(x)$ as $x\to -\infty$. In particular, for potentials behaving as $U(x)\sim |x|$ when $x\to -\infty$, we show that a novel freezing transition occurs at a critical value $a=a_c$, i.e, $θ(a)$ increases monotonically as $a$ decreases till $a_c$, and for $a \le a_c$ it freezes to $θ(a)=θ(a_c)$. Our results are established using a general mapping to a quantum problem and by exact solution in three representative cases, supported by numerical simulations. We show that the freezing transition occurs when in the associated quantum problem, the gap between the ground state (bound) and the continuum of scattering states vanishes.

description: Background: The parasitic infections pose serious problems to small ruminant production in the developing world. Objectives: the specific objectives of this investigation assessed the gastrointestinal parasitic infection in goats in oriental zone of Morocco.
Methods: The study was carried out on 120 goats from various sites of eastern zone in Morocco from October 2013 to September 2014. The faecal samples were collected from the rectum of the goats, and were then immediately taken to the laboratory for examination for gastrointestinal nematode, cestode, and trematode eggs, as well as protozoan oocysts. These samples were subjected to simple sedimentation method. Identification was based on the morphological characters of its eggs under the 100 × objective, with the aid of taxonomic keys. Results: Among the analysed samples 75 % were positive for endoparasites. The parasites found in goats were nematodes, cestodes, trematodes and protozoas, Eimeria caprina and Eimeria caprovina are reported for the first time in oriental province of Morocco. In addition, the fasciola and schistosoma species do not parasitize any of the 120 analyzed goats. In this study, age, season and region were identified as risk factors for GI parasitic infections.Conclusions: The fecal samples examined revealed an overall prevalence of 90 (75 %) in goats harbor one or more genera of helminths with nematodes being the most prevalent helminths. Zero percent prevalence of Eimeria caprina, Moniezia expansa, Trichuris ovis, Haemonchus contortus, Paramphistomum cervi was detected in Bouanane, Bouarfa and Talsint. The study further revealed that a Béni Tajjit area was characterized by strong parasitic load. Hence significantly higher prevalence was revealed of parasite infection in spring season.

description: n many nucleated dwarf elliptical galaxies (dE,N's), the nucleus is offset by a significant fraction of the scale radius with respect to the center of the outer isophotes. Using a high-resolution N-body simulation, we demonstrate that the nucleus can be driven off-center by the m=1 counterstreaming instability, which is strong in flattened stellar systems with zero rotation. The model develops a nuclear offset on the order of 30% of the exponential scale length. We compare our numerical results with the photometry and kinematics of FCC 046, a Fornax Cluster dE,N with a nucleus offset by 1.2" we find good agreement between the model and FCC 046. We also discuss mechanisms that may cause counterrotation in dE,N's and conclude that the destruction of box orbits in an initially triaxial galaxy is the most promising.

Negotiating the spaces of adultery : domesticity and the feminist adultery narrative
Creators: name: Snowden, Kim Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This dissertation examines the representation of spatiality in female adultery novels by women. I explore the ways in which the characters of female adulterers negotiate public and private space, and how adultery affects women's access and mobility in terms of domesticity and acceptable forms of femininity. I argue that in representation there are often multiple and conflicting spatial frameworks and that for women, negotiating these spaces can be a feminist act. I examine four novels within this framework that all deal with female adultery and spatiality-Possession by A.S. Byatt, Other Women by Evelyn Lau, Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson, and Brick Lane by Monica Ali. There is an anxiety present in these narratives concerning the ways that public and private space inter-relate and the gendered body negotiates that space. This anxiety is represented in these texts as a spectral presence - in terms of ghosts, haunting, or a warning of what is to come. The repetition and reproduction of this anxiety binds the narratives to a repressive and sexist literary tradition where Victorian values linger in the lives of the characters, their actions, and the spaces that they occupy; the female adulterers' narrative spaces remain haunted by their literary forbears. The feminist negotiation of space in these adultery narratives is undermined through the creation of binaries-the presence and repetition of a failed domesticity suggests that there may be a successful way to produce domesticity-a model that cannot include the female adulterer. Further, failed domesticity and women's relationship to public and private space, especially in relation to marriage, can be linked to literary constructions of feminine respectability. The female adulterer becomes a site for all of these conflicts, contradictions, and anxieties and her relationship to spatiality becomes key for understanding her narrative function in a feminist literary canon. I argue that she is a feminist figure because her negotiation of space actually reveals the extent to which women are still limited by patriarchal discourses that espouse heteronormative constructions of marriage, fidelity, and family as the only socially acceptable and viable norms for women.

description: Das Handbuch Von Abba bis Zorn Gottes. Irrtümer aufklären – das Judentum verstehen wurde im Auftrag des Gesprächskreises »Juden und Christen« beim Zentralkomitee der deutschen Katholiken (ZdK) von Dr. Paul Petzel und Dr. Norbert Reck herausgegeben. Religiöse Toleranz ist eine der wesentlichen Botschaften, die Lehrende und auch die Kirche innerhalb der aktuellen Anforderungen der menschlichen Begegnungswelten zu vermitteln haben. Sie gehört zu den grundlegenden Kompetenzen religiöser Bildung und dient als Basis für ein friedliches und respektvolles Miteinander in einer multikulturellen und positiv pluralen, modernen Welt. Als wichtige Grundlage zur Entwicklung dieser Toleranz bedarf es der Sachkenntnis und religiösen Einsicht als Verstehenshorizonte. In diesem Kontext, als Basis und gleichermaßen Zeugnis interreligiöser Verständigung und Annäherung, lässt sich das Buch Von Abba bis Zorn Gottes. Irrtümer aufklären – das Judentum verstehen einordnen. Dabei orientieren sich die Herausgeber Paul Petzel und Norbert Reck am Leitgedanken der Konzilsschrift Nostra Aetate, welche seit dem Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzil Theologen weit über die Grenzen der Dogmatik hinaus beschäftigt. Doch trotz der voranschreitenden Aufarbeitung des christlichen Antijudaismus und daraus entstehender, erneuerter und fruchtbarer interreligiöser Theologie gibt es gerade außerhalb der Mauern theologischer Fakultäten, an der »christlichen Basis« (S. 11), noch immensen Klärungsbedarf. Viele der neugewonnenen Erkenntnisse zum christlich-jüdischen Verhältnis sind dort (noch) nicht publik oder sind (noch) nicht gezielt für Laien aufbereitet worden.
