description: To quantify the incidence and prevalence of heart failure (HF) in persons with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and to examine the 1-year survival after the diagnosis of HF. All cases of HF (n = 295,990) and T2DM in Finland were identified from national electronic health care registers for the period 1996–2012. The annual incidence and prevalence rates of HF and 1-year survival after the first diagnosis of HF were calculated for persons with T2DM and without diabetes using Poisson regression for the event rates. The age-adjusted rate ratio for incident HF among men with T2DM in the age group 35–74 years declined from 3.73 (95% CI, 3.46–4.02) in 1996 to 2.17 (2.04–2.31) in 2012 and among women from 3.90 (3.61–4.22) to 2.36 (2.16–2.58). The multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio of 1-year death after the diagnosis of HF declined from 1.15 (1.11–1.21) to 1.07 (1.05–1.10) from the first to the second half of the study period. Individuals aged <75 years with T2DM had a considerably higher incidence of HF than individuals without diabetes. The prognosis of HF was worse in individuals with T2DM than in individuals without diabetes. However, the gap between the groups had narrowed over time.Key messagesThe incidence of heart failure is 2–3 times higher among patients under 75 years of age with type 2 diabetes than among individuals without diabetes.The prognosis of heart failure patients is worse among patients with type 2 diabetes than it is among patients without diabetes although it is improving. The incidence of heart failure is 2–3 times higher among patients under 75 years of age with type 2 diabetes than among individuals without diabetes. The prognosis of heart failure patients is worse among patients with type 2 diabetes than it is among patients without diabetes although it is improving.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF CAA (2019) AS A REFUGEE FRAMEWORK IN INDIA
Creators: name: Saleh Ahmed

description: The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) of 2019 has sparked significant debate as a purported refugee framework in India, aimed at providing expedited citizenship to certain religious minorities from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who entered India before December 2014. This paper critically analyzes the CAA's role within the broader context of refugee law, examining its legislative history, scope, and limitations. Although the Act addresses the historical grievances of specific groups, it has been criticized for its selective criteria, which exclude other vulnerable communities and fail to meet established international standards for refugee protection. This analysis argues that the CAA does not constitute a comprehensive refugee framework but rather a one-time measure for a particular subset of historical refugees. To address India's ongoing refugee challenges, the paper advocates for the development of a more inclusive, holistic, and non-discriminatory refugee law that upholds the principles of international human rights, ensuring equitable protection for all persecuted individuals irrespective of religion or country of origin. This approach would position India as a more responsible and humane actor in regional and global refugee policy.
title: Stil folgt Inhalt?
Creators: name: Fuchs, Helene

description: Kunst ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil aller Gesellschaften und Kulturen, der von vielen Menschen als bereichernd und angenehm empfunden wird. Das Gefühl der Befriedigung, das viele Menschen bei der Beschäftigung mit Kunst empfinden, entsteht dabei aus einem Prozess, der hauptsächlich das Betrachten des Kunstwerkes und damit die perzeptuelle Verarbeitung beinhaltet. Wie aber kommt es zu diesem kunstspezifischen Empfinden? Welche Prozesse machen die Kunstwahrnehmung aus? Als besonders relevant für die Kunstwahrnehmung werden das Motiv und der Stil des Kunstwerkes gesehen. Die Verarbeitungsprozesse von Stil und Motiv bei der Betrachtung von Kunstwerken zu untersuchen liefert daher einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Verständnis von Kunstwahrnehmung. Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit widmet sich der Untersuchung eben dieser Prozesse. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf zeitlichen Aspekten der Verarbeitung von Stil und Inhalt, genauer auf der Frage, ob Stil oder Inhalt schneller verarbeitet werden. Aufgrund bisheriger Studien wurde dabei angenommen, dass Inhalt schneller verarbeitet wird als Stil. Um diese Annahme zu untersuchen wurde eine EEG - Studie durchgeführt. In einer Dual-Task Go/NoGo - Aufgabe kategorisierten die Teilnehmer Kunstwerke nach Stil und Inhalt. Stil wurde als Künstler, Inhalt als Motiv operationalisiert. Die ereigniskorrelierten Potentiale N200 und LBP wurden analysiert um Hinweise für den zeitlichen Verlauf der Verarbeitung von Stil und Inhalt zu finden. Die Onset-Latenzen der ereigniskorrelierten Potentiale wurden dabei als Richtwert für die Dauer der Verarbeitung herangezogen. Die Ergebnisse der LBP-Analyse unterstützen die Annahme, dass Inhalt bei der Betrachtung von Kunstwerken schneller verarbeitet wird als Stil. Stil war 117 ms später als Inhalt soweit verarbeitet, dass er zur Ausbildung eines bewegungsvorbereitenden Potentials führte. Zudem trat ein NoGo-LBP nur in den Bedingungen auf, in denen Stil über Go/NoGo entschied. Dieses Ergebnis weist darauf hin, dass Inhalt früher verarbeitet wird und bereits ein bewegungsvorbereitendes Potential auslöst, während die Information über Stil, die die Go/NoGo-Entscheidung begründet, erst später verfügbar ist. Eine N200 konnte in dieser Untersuchung wider Erwarten nicht beobachtet werden, so dass keine Hinweise auf die Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit aus der N200-Analyse gezogen werden können.

Detecting and Resolving Air Traffic Conflicts Using a Point of Closest Approach Method
Creators: name: Easton, Marc S.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: A geometrical point of closest approach method is used to solve air traffic conflict detection/resolution problems with a single conflict vehicle that is unaware or unable to aid in resolving the conflict. Nonlinear, three degree of freedom equations of motion for a point-mass vehicle are derived and formulated to allow commanded trajectories to steer the vehicle to a desired location. A dynamic model is developed to propagate the vehicle in three dimensions. A closed-loop model implementing a negative feedback controller using a Proportional-Integral-Derivative control scheme is used to drive the vehicle to match the commanded trajectories. A conflict detection/resolution algorithm implementing a point of closest approach method is developed to determine the point at which the simulated, target vehicle will be just on the edge of a safe sphere surrounding the conflict aircraft to simulate the Federal Aviation Administration’s requirements for proper spacing between aircraft. A velocity vector is created to steer the target vehicle to this point to avoid any conflict. MathWorks’ Simulink computational environment is used to simulate the target vehicle and conflict vehicle. Various trajectories for the target vehicle and the conflict vehicle are tested to evaluate the performance of the algorithm. The algorithm performed satisfactorily in detecting and steering the vehicle away from a conflict, always improving the relative spacing between the two vehicles. However, the algorithm was lacking in capability to precisely satisfy the separation requirement. In all cases the target vehicle mildly penetrated the safe region. Future research directions are discussed with the goal of improving the conflict detection/resolution algorithm performance so that the separation requirement can be reliably met.

title: Das Belastungserleben von Pflegepersonen im Umgang mit Demenzpatienten auf Demenzstationen im Vergleich zur traditionellen Langzeitpflege
Creators: name: O'Sheedy, Birgit
Year: 2009

description: Hintergrund und Ziel: Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war es, sich konkreter mit dem Belastungserleben von Pflegepersonen im Umgang mit Demenzkranken auseinander zu setzen. Im Detail sollen dazu Einstellungen zu bzw. Belastungen durch demenzspezifische Verhaltensweisen, die Einstellung zur Wichtigkeit der Autonomie als auch deren Umsetzbarkeit, sowie der Einfluss von zugrundeliegenden Pflegekonzepten erhoben werden. Für die Studie wurden Pflegepersonen von acht traditionellen Langzeitpflegestationen und sieben Demenzstationen (Special Care Units-SCUs) im Raum Wien und Niederösterreich befragt. Die Fragestellung lautete, ob sich die unterschiedlichen Stationstypen in den Anfangs genannten Konstrukten voneinander unterscheiden bzw. ob es Zusammenhänge zwischen den Konstrukten gibt. Methode: Insgesamt nahmen 139 Pflegepersonen an der Studie teil. Dabei wurde den Versuchspersonen ein Fragebogen vorgegeben, der sich aus folgenden theoretischen Abschnitten zusammensetzte: Modified Nursing Care Assessment Scale (M-NCAS), selbstkonstruierte Fragen zu den Bereichen Autonomie (Einstellung zur Wichtigkeit der Autonomie/Umsetzbarkeit im Pflegealltag) und zum konzeptuellen Hintergrund der Pflege (personenzentrierte vs. realitätsorientierte Pflegekonzepte). Die M-NCAS wurde dafür aus dem Englischen ins Deutsche übersetzt und statistisch evaluiert. Zusätzlich wurden auch Fragen zu Anzahl der Fortbildungen, Wohlbefinden im Arbeitsumfeld, Zeitaufwand bei Pflegeaktivitäten (Ist- Optimalzustand) und Vorschläge zur Verbesserung der Pflegequalität erhoben. Ergebnisse: Die Ergebnisse der Hauptfragestellung zeigten, dass sich die Stationstypen in der Umsetzbarkeit der Autonomie der Demenzpatienten, als wie auch in der Anzahl der Fortbildungen signifikant unterscheiden. Signifikante Korrelationen zeigten sich innerhalb der Langzeitpflegestationen zwischen der Einstellung zur Wichtigkeit der Autonomie des Pflegepersonals und der Einstellung zur Betreuung der Demenzpatienten, des Belastungserlebens und der Umsetzbarkeit der Autonomie im Pflegealltag. Bei den SCUs konnte eine signifikante Korrelation zwischen der Umsetzbarkeit der Autonomie und des Belastungserlebens nachgewiesen werden. Diskussion und Schlussfolgerung: Anhand der Ergebnisse wiesen SCUs mehr Vorteile als wie traditionelle Langzeitpflegestationen auf, wovon das Pflegepersonal und schlussendlich die Demenzpatienten profitieren. Aufgrund der teilweise geringen Stichprobenanzahl in den einzelnen Subgruppen war die Macht der einzelnen statistischen Verfahren oft beeinträchtig und limitiert. Für nachfolgende Untersuchungen wäre deshalb die Überprüfung der in dieser Arbeit gefunden starken Trends (z.B. der Zusammenhang zwischen Einstellung und Belastung) interessant.

description: OBJECTIVES: To explore the perspectives of general practitioners (GPs) on the identification and management of people, including those from ethnic minority groups, with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). METHODS: Qualitative study. Semi-structured, face-to-face or telephone interviews and focus groups were conducted with 35 GPs in England, which were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Framework analysis was used to manage and interpret data. RESULTS: Themes presented reflect four inter-related challenges: GPs' 1) lack of understanding HFpEF, impacting on 2) difficulties in communicating the diagnosis, leading to 3) uncertainty in managing people with HFpEF, further hindered by (4) discontinuity across the primary/secondary interface. All were considered more challenging by GPs when managing people from different cultures and languages. DISCUSSION: HFpEF is not well understood by GPs, leading to diagnostic difficulty, management uncertainty and potential inequity in care offered. People with HFpEF are seen as complex, with multiple long-term conditions and requiring personalised care. Challenges in their management occur across the healthcare system. This study has identified learning needs for GPs around identification and on-going support for people with HFpEF in primary care. It will contribute to the development of more flexible and patient-centred pathways across the primary/secondary care interface.

description: The main objective of this document is to present the current view of the available B5G and 6G KPIs from 5G PPP phase III projects with a focus on projects of the ICT-52 call. This view includes mapping to KPIs previously defined for 5G and evaluating how they might evolve to fit the B5G and 6G visions. We are presently at the start of the 6G research era, where visionaries and researchers are interplaying to define a vision for 6G. To ensure the direction of innovations towards realizing 6G it is critical that KPIs are defined at an early stage to help steer the process. The KPIs are either evolved from previous generation KPIs or are new and being defined in coordination with definition of new features and use cases. It is at this stage that this white paper makes its contribution, in collecting KPIs from active research projects based on work on new features and use cases. The paper consists of two main technical parts. The first part gives an overview of standard network KPIs with defined target values for 5G system. These are well known KPIs that will be evolved to 6G by changing target values. The second part presents KPIs collected from ICT-52 research projects aimed at B5G and 6G system. These KPIs are processed in terms of being grouped according to KPI type or context, and they are presented with references to standards and target values where possible and available. The white paper is intended to be updated and re-published every year to track the B5G and 6G KPIs evolutions. The evolutions will occur as projects, use cases and functionalities mature. KPI definitions from new B5G and 6G projects from projects participating in the 6G SNS R&I Work Programme will be taken into account when available (2023). Future version of this report will also integrate more information on KPIs target values and definition of methodology for how to measure them.

description: This is the first survey on how dermatoscopy is applied by Dermatologists in Cyprus, where information derived from primary data (through an extensive and original questionnaire of forty questions). The results were analyzed and compared against other similar international studies. Consequently, important information was therefore extracted and conclusions were drawn on the frequency of use of dermatoscopy and its relevance for the diagnosis and management of: congenital melanocytic nevi, Spitz nevi, benign lesions (seborrheic keratoses, solar lentigos), melanomas, precancerous lesions (actinic keratoses), epithelial and rarer skin tumors, inflammatory and scalp diseases. Also, areas where Dermatologists require further improvement in terms of experience and expertise, were identified. This can serve as a guide for better training programs and where further research may be needed. Finally the views of dermatologists are also expressed on how dermatoscopy will be impacted in the future with the rise of artificial intelligence.
Exploring the Spectrum of Supervision in Medical Image Analysis: From Fully Supervised to Semi-supervised and Unsupervised Approaches
Creators: name: Ren, Zeyu
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024

description: Deep learning techniques have gained tremendous success across various domains with the rise of large datasets and the advancement of computational resources over the past few years. However, when adopting deep learning techniques in medical image analysis, it is a common challenge that limited datasets are available to train the model, and acquiring accurately annotated datasets has become more expensive and labour-intensive compared to other domains. In tackling these obstacles, it is worth exploring deep learning techniques alongside various supervision techniques for medical image analysis - such approaches have the potential to offer promising solutions for many real-world applications in the field. This thesis investigates different levels of supervision techniques used in medical image analysis, including fully supervised, semi-supervised, and unsupervised approaches, with a focus on lung cancer classification as an experimental case study. This study discusses the effectiveness and constraints of different supervision techniques through a comprehensive analysis of various models, algorithms and their applications for classification in lung cancer datasets. Several novel classification approaches, built on top of existing supervision techniques, were proposed, implemented and evaluated using a comprehensive analysis of the lung cancer dataset. The outcome of this research also uncovers significant insights into the suitability of each approach, highlighting that while fully supervised methods demonstrate high performance, semi-supervised and unsupervised techniques offer valuable adaptability and efficiency, particularly in scenarios with limited labelled medical datasets. This research also highlights the potential of combining contrastive learning and generative methods in revolutionising medical image analysis, especially for diseases lacking sufficient datasets with accurate labels. It not only enhances our understanding of the supervision spectrum in lung cancer classification but also sets a foundation for future research in the field, potentially influencing diagnostic processes and aiding in developing robust and adaptable medical image classification systems.

Development of the Compact Jet Engine Simulator from Concept to Useful Test Rig
Creators: name: Haskin, Henry H.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Two Compact Jet Engine Simulator (CJES) units were designed for integrated wind tunnel acoustic experiments involving a Hybrid Wing Body (HWB) vehicle. To meet the 5.8% scale of the HWB model, Ultra Compact Combustor technology from the Air Force Research Laboratory was used. The CJES units were built and integrated with a control system in the NASA Langley Low Speed Aero acoustic Wind Tunnel. The combustor liners, plug—vane and flow conditioner components were built in-house at Langley Research Center. The operation of the CJES units was mapped and fixes found for combustor instability tones and rig flow noise. The original concept remained true, but the internal hardware evolved throughout the process. The CJES unit successfully completed the HWB validation test and can be used for acoustic testing or propulsion integration studies that require jet engines.

title: Über die Vornamenswahl für Kinder finnisch-deutschsprachiger Eltern in Österreich, der Schweiz und in Deutschland
Creators: name: Altenburger, Verena
Year: 2009

description: In meiner Magisterarbeit „Über die Vornamenswahl für Kinder finnisch-deutschsprachiger Eltern in Österreich, der Schweiz und in Deutschland“ möchte ich per Fragebogen herausfinden, welche Faktoren für die betreffenden Familien eine wichtige Rolle bei der Vornamenswahl ihrer Kinder gespielt haben und was ihre Entscheidung beeinflusst hat. Dazu gebe ich verschiedene Auswahlkriterien an, die die Eltern hinsichtlich der Wichtigkeit für die Vornamenswahl bewerten können, wobei ihnen freigestellt ist, in eigenen Worten zu antworten und zusätzliche Angaben zu machen. Genauso interessiert es mich, welche Probleme oder Hindernisse es im Laufe der Namenswahl gegeben hat und welche Reaktionen vom äußeren Umfeld hinsichtlich der ausgewählten Vornamen gekommen sind. Ich gehe auch auf den kulturellen und sprachlichen Hintergrund der Familien ein, da dieser einen nicht zu verachtenden Einfluss auf die Vornamenswahl hat. Daher befrage ich die Familien ebenso zur sprachlichen Erziehung ihrer Kinder und zum Kontakt zu Finnland und zu finnischen Verwandten und Bekannten. Ich konnte feststellen, dass bei den meisten Familien ein starker Bezug zu Finnland vorhanden ist. Bei der Vornamenswahl sind finnische Namen im Gegensatz zu typisch deutschen Vornamen sehr beliebt, ebenso wie Namen, die international leicht verständlich sind. Eine weitere beliebte Variante ist es, einen Kompromiss einzugehen, indem ein Name gewählt wird, von dem es sowohl in Finnland als auch im deutschsprachigen Land eine Variante gibt. Ein anderer Mittelweg besteht darin, dem Kind einen deutschen und einen finnischen Vornamen zu geben. Zu den wichtigsten Daten der Familien und den Kriterien für die Vornamenswahl habe ich Graphiken erstellt, um die Ergebnisse besser zu veranschaulichen.

description: Mit den Entlastungspaketen I und II hat die Bundesregierung Entlastungsmaßnahmen beschlossen, um den stark gestiegenen Energiepreisen entgegenzuwirken. Die Entlastung für private Haushalte erfolgt überwiegend durch Maßnahmen, die auf eine Erhöhung des Einkommens abzielen (wie z.B. Anhebung Steuerfreibeträge, Energiepreispauschale). Etwa ein Drittel der Entlastungswirkung für Haushalte erfolgt aus Maßnahmen, die über (indirekte) Subventionen Preise von Energie oder energieintensiven Dienstleistungen verringern (z.B. Tankrabatt, Absenkung EEG-Umlage, 9-Euro-Ticket). Die Mehrzahl der Maßnahmen ist auf eine Entlastung einkommensschwacher Haushalte und der Mittelschicht ausgelegt. Die Entlastung für die unterste Einkommensgruppes beträgt etwa 3,5 % der gesamten privaten Konsumausgaben. Allerdings profitiert auch die reichte Einkommensgruppe von einer Entlastung in Höhe von 1,4 % der Konsumausgaben. Die größte Entlastung für Haushalte mit geringem und mittlerem Einkommen wird durch die Energiepreispauschale und die Absenkung der EEG-Umlage erzielt. Dennoch bleibt die Belastung in den unteren und mittleren Einkommensschichten auch nach den Entlastungsmaßnahmen hoch. Die Entlastungspakete kompensieren das hohe Energiepreisniveau nur teilweise, sodass Haushalte in den unteren und mittleren Einkommensgruppen mit mehr als 2,5% ihres Einkommens belastet werden. Die beschlossenen Entlastungsmaßnahmen sind nicht eng am Energiebedarf der Haushalte ausgerichtet. Somit bleibt die Belastung von Haushalten mit hohem Energiebedarf (z.B. aufgrund schlechter Wärmeisolierung oder Gasheizung) weiterhin hoch, während einige Haushalte mit hoher Energieeffizienz netto entlastet werden. Ein auf dem Vorjahresverbrauch (oder der Haushaltsgröße) basierendes Energiegeld abhängig vom Heizungstyp könnte zur gezielten Entlastung verwendet werden, ohne Energiesparanreize auszuhebeln. Die Maßnahmen sind nicht an die Entwicklung der Energiepreise gekoppelt. Steigen die Preise, insbesondere für Gas und Strom, mittelfristig über das Niveau von April 2022, reichen die bereitgestellt Mittel nicht mehr aus, um die Haushalte umfassend zu entlasten.
A complete simulator for millimeter and sub-millimeter observatories
Creators: name: Morris, Thomas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Telescope simulations are an invaluable tool for astronomers and can be used to optimize design parameters and observing strategies of real instruments, forecast science goals, and develop and test data reduction algorithms. New millimeter and sub-millimeter observatories coming online in the next decades are characterized by a wide range of designs and huge data acquisition rates, and using them effectively will require a flexible yet comprehensive simulator that is as lightweight as possible but also capable of scaling to large-scale distributed computing in order to emulate the large throughput. We introduce a new simulation framework called \tt{maria} which comprises a full stack of all the components that affect raw time-ordered data collected by telescopes. \tt{maria} is capable of simulating both bolometer and interferometric observations at a wide variety of instruments and sites around the world. We provide an overview of each component of the simulation stack, focusing on a more computationally efficient model for simulating fluctuations in atmospheric emission. We also demonstrate the flexibility of \tt{maria} provide a number of examples of diverse simulation scenarios for CMB telescopes like ACT and SO, interferometers like ALMA and the VLA, and large single-dish telescopes like AtLAST and the GBT.

title: Gott und die Schriftsteller
Creators: name: Stummer, Roberta
Year: 2009

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht anhand der beiden Romane Moeder en zoon (1980) von Gerard Reve und Specht en zoon (2004) von Willem Jan Otten die Art und Weise, wie Glaube und Religion in das Werk eines Schriftstellers einfließt. Die Wahl fiel auf diese beiden Schriftsteller, da beide im Erwachsenenalter der katholischen Kirche beigetreten sind. Am Beginn der Arbeit wurde versucht den Term Religion zu definieren und abzugrenzen und anschließend wurden verschiedene Methoden vorgestellt um die Beziehung von Religion und Literatur besprechbar zu machen. Es wurde auf das Genre des Jesusromans eingegangen und anhand der zahlreichen Sekundärliteratur über Gerard Reve sein Zugang zu Religion und Glaube erläutert. In der Textanalyse wurde untersucht, wie ein Autor Sinn gibt. Bei beiden Autoren werden Fragen eingesetzt um Sinn zu geben. Reve sucht nach Antworten, findet jedoch keine und gerade durch das Mittel der Fragen wird sein Glaube sichtbar. Otten verwendet Fragen in ähnlicher Weise, jedoch ohne überhaupt eine Antwort zu erwarten, er ist der Meinung, dass Unerklärbares intakt bleiben müsse. Beide Autoren verwenden Symbole um Sinn zu geben und beide Autoren setzen ihre persönliche Geschichte in einen Zusammenhang mit der Ur-Geschichte der Menschheit. Da bei beiden Autoren die Sexualität ihren festen Platz einnimmt, wurde auch ihr Raum gewidmet und festgestellt, dass sie bei Gerard Reve in strukturell analoger Weise Trennendes und Gemeinsames von Literatur und Religion zu Tage bringt, bei Otten zeigt sie Ursache und Wirkung auf. Als Abschluss wurden beide Romane mithilfe der Kriterien des Jesusromans untersucht und Jesustransfigurationen herausgefiltert.

description: PCR and fluorescent in situ hybridization probes were used to assay for the presence of the dinoflagellate Pfiesteria piscicida in 170 estuarine water samples collected from New York to northern Florida. 20% of samples tested positive for the presence of P. piscicida, including sites where fish kills due to Pfiesteria have occurred and sites where there was no historical evidence of such events. The results extend the known range of P. piscicida northward to Long Island, New York. The results also suggest that P. piscicida is common, and normally benign, inhabitatant of estuarine waters of the eastern US.

Subjects: Diagrammatic reasoning; Iconicity: Development of Early Writing Systems

description: Complex writing systems – such as the Egyptian, the Cuneiform, the Anatolian Hieroglyphic, the Chinese or the Mesoamerican ones – display a characteristic iconic quality. To various degrees, their signs adopt forms with recognizable visual referents. Crucially, the values of these signs can be motivated in various ways by their visual referents. In a number of different manners, scribes could also deliberately enhance or obscure the iconic potential of signs. The field for this kind of playfulness or iconic manipulation is broad, yet it is constrained by certain rules. The same goes for the general level of iconicity in any complex writing system. The course aims at developing methodological approaches toward identifying the different facets of iconicity as a central phenomenon of complex writing systems. Iconicity is conceived here as an inherently pragmatic and dynamic category. It reveals its potential as a methodological framework at the interfaces between a) the text artefact in which the signs exist, b) the broader semiotics of the (visual) culture to which a writing system is more or less closely related, and c) the cognitive issues associated with sign recognition and reading.
