title: Laizismus auf Türkisch
Creators: name: Kilic, Hakan
Year: 2011

description: Das Ziel dieser Diplomarbeit ist es das Prinzip des Laizismus und dessen Beziehung zur Religion zu beschreiben, welches in der Türkei unverzichtbar und unabänderbar ist. Wie bereits der Titel dieser Arbeit sagt, ist der türkische Weg des Laizismus eine Gratwanderung zwischen Staat und Religion. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit wird der Versuch unternommen den Begriff des Laizismus, auch aus geschichtlicher Hinsicht zu definieren. Im Anschluss werden auch die Unterschiede und Parallelen zur Säkularismus beschrieben. Im folgenden Teil wird die Entwicklung des Laizismus im Osmanischen Reich und in der Türkischen Republik vorgestellt. Dabei wird auch auf den Modernisierungsprozess Bezug genommen. Die Gründungsphase der Republik wird dabei besonders hervorgehoben. In der Türkei wird der Laizismus oft mit der Gründung der Republik und mit Mustafa Kemal Atatürk assoziiert. Im fünften Kapitel wird daher Atatürks Laizismusverständnis untersucht und sein Modernisierungskonzept vorgestellt, wobei die Religion einen wichtigen Platz einnimmt. Inwiefern die Religion – explizit der Islam – eine Gegenposition zum Laizismus einnimmt, wird im darauf folgenden Teil anhand der „Behörde für Religiöse Angelegenheiten“ verdeutlicht. Die Religionsbehörde hat offiziell eine regulierende Funktion, wodurch der Staat die Kontrolle über die Religion beibehält. In diesem Teil werden die Reformansätze der die Religionsbehörde hervorgehoben. Zuletzt das Türkische Militär und ihre Rolle im Laizisierungsprozess geschildert. Die so genannten „Hüter des Laizismus“ spielen in der Entwicklung des Laizismus eine gewichtige Rolle und werden als der Garant des Modernisierungsprozesses angesehen.

Tanycypris centa

description: Tanycypris centa (Chang et al., 2012)
(Figs 5A, 6D, 6I, 7C)
Diagnosis. L = 1.10–1.14 mm, H = 0.45–0.47 mm; maximum height at the anterior quarter. Carapace in dorsal view narrow, in lateral view elongated. Inner lamella broad with slight concavity in postero-ventral region. Carapace with large purple patches. A1 with Wouters and Rome organ (Fig. 5A). T1 elongated with two a-setae, with b-seta and with d-seta. Masticatory process of T1 with 12 setae (Fig. 6I). T2 with longer d1 than d2. CR relatively long, almost straight, Sp plumose (Fig. 6D). CR attachment stout, relatively short and slim, with db strongly bent, vb thin and curved (Fig. 7C). Males unknown (Chang et al. 2012).
Similar species. Tanycypris centa can be mistaken for Tanycypris siamensis, Tanycypris alfonsi n. sp. and Tanycypris pellucida. T. centa possesses a straighter dorsal margin and a narrower curved posterior margin than T. siamensis (subequally curved in the latter) and a differently shaped inner margin. The CR is thinner than in T. siamensis. The carapace is set with purple patches in T. centa, while T. siamensis is consistently brownish-yellow (Chang et al. 2012).
T. centa differs from T. pellucida in the lack of a second b-seta on T1 (T. pellucida: T1 with two b-setae), a much wider calcified inner lamella in T. centa and in the lack of a dorsal subapical seta on the first segment of A1 (present in T. pellucida). T. centa differs from T. alfonsi n. sp. in the carapace coloration (T. alfonsi n. sp. is light green), in the lack of a roof tile-like structure in the anterior region of the carapace (present in T. alfonsi n. sp.), in a more ovoid shape in dorsal view (narrower in T. alfonsi n. sp.) and in the lack of a long dorsal subapical seta on the first segment of A1 (present in T. alfonsi n.sp.).
Remarks. Chang et al. (2012) described Tanycypris centa from Korea and deposited the material in the National Institute of Biological Resources, Incheon, Korea (No. NIBRIV 0000243259–0000243262) and in the Department of Biological Science, Daegu University, Korea (No. DB 40011–40028). For the present study, specimens sampled in the Botanical Garden Munich have been investigated.

description: Background:  Abdominal pain in children can represent benign aetiologies and true emergencies. Aetiologies of paediatric abdominal pain vary geographically, and have not been studied in acute care settings in Tanzania.

Aim: To describe the clinical profiles, diagnoses, and outcomes of children presenting with abdominal pain to the ED of Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH).

Methodology: This was a prospective cohort study of children aged 1mo-18yrs presenting with abdominal pain at the ED-MNH. A case report form (CRF) was used to collect data on a consecutive convenience sample of patients from June to December 2016. The CRF included demographics, diagnoses, disposition, and 24-hour, 7-day and 3-month mortality. Data was summarized using descriptive statistics and analyzed using counts, percentages, median and inter quartile range.

Results: 1855 children were screened. 184 (9.9%) met inclusion criteria and were enrolled. Median age was 3.5yrs (IQR 1.3-7yrs). 124 (67.4%) were male. 138 (75.0%) were referred from peripheral hospitals. Top ED diagnoses are shown in Table 1. From the ED, 37 (20.0%) were discharged, 83 (45.0%) were admitted to medical wards and 64 (35.0%) to the surgical wards. 16 (8.7%) underwent an operation. 24-hour, 7-day and 3-month mortality were 1.1%, 6.5% and 14.4%, respectively.

Conclusion & Recommendations: Abdominal pain was a common complaint amongst paediatric patients in the ED-MNH. They had a relative low 24-hour mortality, but high 3-month mortality rate. Further studies and quality improvement efforts should concentrate on the prompt diagnosis and treatment of these patients to reduce mortality.
Energy Literacy in Canada

description: Energy plays an important role in everyday activities, whether at a personal, institutional, corporate or social level.  In this context, an informed or literate public is critical for the longterm conservation, management, pricing and use of increasingly scarce energy resources.  A series of surveys were used to probe the literacy of Canadians with regard to energy issues ranging from relative ranking and importance of energy compared to other national issues, preference for various fuel types and willingness to pay for offsetting environmental impacts from energy generation. In addition, they were asked how Canada’s government should prioritize national energy independence over trade, even if ultimately reducing imports might impact national economic health. The survey revealed that Canadians have a good general knowledge of energy use and relative cost but lack detailed knowledge about sources of energy fuels, as well as sources and linkages with environmental impacts. However, an overwhelming majority of respondents indicated they were concerned about environmental issues; most seemed to direct that concern towards fuels such as coal and nuclear power where support was low compared to a relatively unconcerned view about the often substantial environmental effects of hydro dams or wind farms. Canadians say they have been willing to make adjustments to their own energy-consumption habits, to save money and conserve energy. Further, respondents  generally expressed a willingness to pay a surcharge on monthly utility bills, if it would help mitigate the environmental impact of energy generation. There were limits to this view. Support for extra charges falls off rapidly as the costs go up; drivers showed themselves highly resistant to switching their commute to transit, even despite rising gas prices; and respondents were less enthusiastic to the idea of installing home solar panels or switching to electric cars, even when offered a subsidy to do so. In spite of some limitations regarding overall energy literacy, Canadians are also highly skeptical about the information they do get from virtually every stakeholder in the energy arena. In terms of trust and confidence, overall, respondents said they were more willing to listen to academics and economic experts; only a small majority was willing to fully trust those information sources at even low levels. In this serious topic area, respondents indicated they could not trust the credibility of environmental groups, and considered the oil and gas industry and governments by far the least trustworthy sources of information. Finally, in terms of future policy development, most cite the importance of Canada’s energytrading relationship with the United States, but believe it is too dominant, and should diminish, with more effort focused on opening up new export markets elsewhere.

The Comprehensive Trade Agreement with India: What’s in It for Canada (Or India for That Matter)?
Creators: name: Beaulieu, Eugene
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2012

description: Prime Minister Stephen Harper is leading a mission to India from November 3 to 9, 2012. On this, his second official visit to India, Harper will meet with the prime minister of India, Manmohan Singh, with the stated goal of strengthening trade and investment links between the two countries. In fact, the two countries have been negotiating a trade agreement known as the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) since November 2010.
The case for Canada to pursue a comprehensive trade agreement with India appears to be ironclad. India is a rapidly growing, very large economy with the second largest population and tenth largest GDP in the world. India is open for business and began economic reforms to liberalize trade and investment, deregulate industry and privatize state-owned enterprises in the early 1990s. India has been growing at an average rate of more than seven per cent per year since 1997. Moreover, India is a democracy and shares a colonial past with Canada. However, bilateral economic relations between the two countries have historically been very weak, but with the potential to grow substantially. It seems like India has all the right ingredients for Canada to make the CEPA a priority.
So, what can Canada really expect from these negotiations? The answer: Unfortunately, not much.

Diagnosis. L = 1.42–1.66 mm, H = 0.57–0.66 mm; greatest width in the middle. Females 0.1 mm longer than males on average. Carapace in dorsal view narrow. Valves asymmetric. RV smaller than LV, LV with an obtuse angle at the joining of the posterior and ventral margin (Fig. 8A, B) Dorsal margin weakly arched; ventral margin slightly concave. A1 with Wouters organ and Rome organ and with extremely long setae on the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth segment (Fig. 5E). T1 with b and d seta, asymmetric in males (Fig. 6J). T2 with very long and strong d, and thin, small d2. CR stoutly built, weakly bent; setules gradually decreasing in length from distal to proximal; Sp very long in relation to the Sp of other Tanycypris species (Fig. 6E). Trunk of CR attachment as wide as trunk of CR; cone-like, short vb, slim, sinuous db (Fig. 7B). Male hemipenis with a deep incisure in the lateral shield. Zenker organ with 30 rosettes of chitinous rays (Müller 1898; Triebel 1959).
History. Müller (1898) described Cypris madagascarensis from Majunga, Madagascar, and deposited the holotype [Cat II, No. 24626 (32a)] and several paratypes in the ZMG. Later, he transferred the species to Dolerocypris (Müller 1912). Triebel (1959), when erecting the genus Tanycypris, designated Tanycypris madagascarensis as type species.
Similar species. Tanycypris madagascarensis is the largest species of the genus and has a characteristic posterior-ventral angle in the LV. It has a characteristic db on the CR attachment. The Sp on the CR is relatively long and all appendages are strongly built. The setae on all appendages are relatively long. This species cannot be mistaken for other species of the genus Tanycypris.

A Profound Tax Reform: The Impact of Sales Tax Harmonization on Prince Edward Island’s Competitiveness
Creators: name: Chen, Duanjie
name: Mintz, Jack M.
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2012

description: Prince Edward Island’s decision to harmonize its provincial sales tax with the federal GST next year will bring Canada’s smallest province huge benefits; consumers and businesses will reap the rewards. While services will be taxed higher, the removal of PST on purchases of goods and services used in operations will keep more money in consumers’ wallets as lower production costs cascade from business to the general public. Businesses, faced with a lower cost of capital, will have the chance to increase investments by around $560 million over seven years. Further, the HST regime’s potentially more neutral treatment of economic activities will minimize distortions by promoting the efficient allocation of capital. By 2021, when the harmonization has been fully implemented, PEI’s effective tax rate on new investments will have fallen by 18 points, making the island one of the most competitive economies in the OECD. Businesses of every size will gain enormously from the changes, as will Prince Edward Islanders themselves, in the form of more jobs, $380 million in additional wages and dramatically improved opportunities. This brief paper models the effects of the HST’s gradual phase-in on all major sectors over the next seven years, and argues forcefully that PEI’s course is the correct one — a major step toward the neutral corporate tax structure Canadian prosperity depends on.

Changing Landscapes for Charities in Canada: Where Should We Go?
Creators: name: Payne, A. Abigail
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2012

description: Charitable giving in Canada has never been higher. Between 1992 and 2008, contributions to charitable organizations more than doubled, from $4 billion to more than $9 billion. Donations to charitable foundations grew at an even more remarkable rate: more than 250 per cent, over the same period. But those striking numbers mask more puzzling, some might say more worrying, trends. While donations overall have grown, not all charity types have shared equally in the gains. Religious charities and health-related charities have seen the lowest amount of growth. Meanwhile, the country’s larger charities and foundations have seen substantial increases in donations, but donation rates to smaller charities have been relatively flat. As for the donors, it’s almost entirely high-income Canadians who seem to be giving significantly more, while the rate of giving among middle-income and lower income Canadians has hardly grown at all. In fact, the share of people claiming tax credits for donations in each income group is actually in decline, meaning fewer of us seem to be giving to registered charities, while the richest Canadians are primarily responsible for the rise in donations. The reasons for these unusual trends are unclear — though there is some evidence that the more ethnically diverse our country has become, the less inclined we are to donate. And whether we should even be concerned about these uneven patterns — the wealthiest Canadians giving bigger cheques to the country’s biggest charities and foundations — is also an open question. But the uncertainty about what these trends mean, why they’re happening, and whether they’re even a problem, is not something we should take lightly. Changes may be coming soon to Canadian charity policy: Last year, a House of Commons committee began a sweeping study of charitable giving in Canada, and it is already evaluating dozens of suggestions for policy adjustments. But, while we can discern some patterns and trends in giving, the reality is that we actually still know very little about why Canadians give, and how we, as a society, want to change the way we give, if at all. And until we make the effort to learn considerably more, any policy changes aimed at altering the landscape for Canadian charities are at risk of being politically driven, rather than evidence-based, and they could very well end up creating more problems than they solve.

Managing Tax Expenditures and Government Program Spending: Proposals for Reform
Creators: name: Lester, John
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2012

description: The federal government implemented a new expenditure management system in 2007. Under the new system, departments are required to review programs on a four-year cycle to determine if they are aligned with federal responsibilities and priorities, if they are efficiently delivered and if they are providing value for money, or effective. Based on the results from these strategic reviews, which are expected to be supported by formal evaluations that provide the evidence base for decisions, departments are expected to identify five per cent of their direct program spending that could be reallocated to other priorities, including deficit reduction. This system has much to recommend it, but to realize the full potential of the new system two fundamental changes should be made. First, spending programs delivered through the tax system should be integrated into the expenditure management system. Integration implies that departments would be given responsibility for both tax and spending initiatives that are relevant to their mandates, and that tax-based expenditures would be subject to the government’s evaluation policy and be included in strategic reviews. Second, while departments should continue to have responsibility for evaluating program efficiency, evaluations of both tax- and spending-program effectiveness should be undertaken by an independent entity such as the Parliamentary Budget Officer. Effectiveness evaluations should be carried out using a variant of the benefit-cost framework that is now applied to government regulatory initiatives. In order for the reformed system to work, more resources will need to be allocated to developing the performance data needed to undertake effectiveness evaluations and to perform the evaluations. These changes go well beyond a recent recommendation by a House of Commons committee to include tax expenditures in departmental reports to Parliament, along with planned program spending. The government rejected the recommendation, arguing that the change would undermine the finance minister’s authority over the tax system. Reform cannot proceed unless the finance minister relinquishes his power, exercised jointly with the prime minister, to introduce, modify, or eliminate tax measures related to the mandate of a program minister without the consent of the minister.

The Syrian Crisis: What It Means for the World; Is There a Role for Canada?
Creators: name: Kerckhove, Ferry De
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2012

description: The Harper government has shown itself to be fully engaged and willing to take a public leadership position when it comes to the world’s response to the Syrian crisis, but Canada has yet to commit to a military intervention. That may well be the most sensible approach.
There are many reasons that western countries have resisted a Libyan-style intervention in Syria, though there are compelling arguments on both sides. But with al-Qaida operatives involved in the uprising, uncertainty over how favourable a new regime would be towards the West, and the potential dangers posed by the conflict to Israel, one of Canada’s staunchest allies, the Harper government’s primary objective must be to ensure that the outcome of the Syrian civil war is compatible with western values.
One of Canada’s top priorities must be helping to ensure that Syria, after the likely defeat of dictator Bashar Assad, rapidly returns to as much stability as possible, and avoids breaking down further into competing divisions and conflicts. The Harper government must be prepared to lend legitimacy to a new government in Syria, work more systematically with the Arab League to foster security in the region, prepare to be of assistance in a post-Assad reconstruction, and engage with other countries considering imposing a no-fly zone over Syria that might help impede Assad’s brutality. There are no simple pathways to securing a peaceful, pro-Western Syria after Assad. But there are things Canada can do, besides military intervention, that can increase the likelihood of it.

Smart Environmental Policy with Full-Cost Pricing
Creators: name: Olewiler, Nancy
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2012

description: Canada’s natural capital — its resources, ecosystems and wildlife — are indispensable to the productivity of industry. Despite this, both the public and private sectors have failed to adequately factor in the consequences of production and consumption on the natural environment. There is a growing need for full-cost pricing, a system that adjusts market prices to reflect not only the direct costs of good and services, but also their impact on this country’s natural capital. As this paper argues, the onus is on the federal government to create the conditions for full-cost pricing to succeed. Ottawa needs to eliminate energy subsidies (to producers and consumers), implement full-cost pricing on air contaminants  and greenhouse gases and encourage projects at the provincial and municipal levels that adopt that methodology. The benefits include productivity gains; potentially billions in savings for consumers, businesses and governments; a strong environment supporting sustainable industries; and simplified tax systems. In surveying past and existing federal initiatives and missed opportunities in previous budgets, this paper assesses costs and consequences, arguing that a healthy environment is synonymous with a healthy economy, and providing hard data to back up that conviction. With Budget 2012 just around the corner, the time is ripe for the Harper government to introduce full-cost pricing, and guarantee Canada a brighter future.

Tantalus Unbound: Government Policy and Innovation in Canada
Creators: name: MacIntosh, Jeffrey G.
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2012

description: The future of the western industrialized economies, including Canada, depends on healthy and innovative high-tech sectors. In 2010, this realization spurred the Canadian government to commission a blue-ribbon panel charged with assessing the state of programs designed to support business and commercially oriented research and development. The resultant Jenkins Report contains many useful recommendations aimed at consolidating disparate offerings, measuring existing initiatives’ performance and fostering federal-provincial cooperation to improve programs’ impact on the tech sector. However, the Report erred in overlooking the squandering of government resources on tax subsidies to investors in Labour-Sponsored Venture Capital Corporations (LSVCCs) — union-sponsored specialized mutual funds meant to promote the development of high-growth small and mediums-sized businesses — which are far outperformed by the private sector and often waste capital better used elsewhere. It is also unduly harsh on the federal Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Credit, which is critical to the early-stage start-ups that give rise to high-tech giants. In judiciously assessing the Jenkins Report’s recommendations and offering alternatives, this paper serves as a much-needed corrective, offering policy makers clear guidance in securing Canada’s economic future.

Instruments for Forest Habitat Connectivity
Creators: name: Wilman, Elizabeth A.
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2017

description: In places such as the boreal forest of Northern Alberta, where demands for energy and forest products are growing, it is necessary to balance economic development activities on the land with the environmental services the land can provide. Wildlife habitat for species such as woodland caribou is one such service. If adequate habitat for species such as woodland caribou is to be maintained, both the quantity of habitat and its configuration matter. Woodland caribou are in decline partly due to habitat fragmentation. For that species, connections between patches of mature forest are crucial to sustaining viable populations. To ensure continued provision of woodland caribou habitat, it is necessary to develop and use some set of regulatory instruments that will limit overall disturbance and preserve a degree of connectivity among mature parcels. The purpose of this report is to present some economic experimental results on a regulatory mechanism that is a combination of tradable disturbance permits and a procurement auction for connectivity, and compare it with the alternative of a stricter cap on disturbance permits. The usual argument is that the latter approach is less costly. We show that, although the combination mechanism can create significant transaction costs, it is not necessarily the more costly approach.

title: Entwicklungszusammenarbeit der Tschechischen Republik in Angola
Creators: name: Bayerova, Ina
Year: 2010

description: Das Zentralthema meiner Diplomarbeit sind die Beziehungen zwischen Angola und der Tschechoslowakei/Tschechischen Republik vor und nach dem Jahr 1989, in Bezug auf die Entwicklungspolitik. Anhand einer Literaturrecherche und durchgeführten Interviews habe ich die Hauptunterschiede zwischen der geleisteten Entwicklungshilfe während der Zeit des Sozialismus und der Art und Weise einer modernen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit heute untersucht. Mein Ziel war es herauszufinden, welche Motive sich hinter der Bereitwilligkeit der Tschechoslowakei/Tschechischen Republik, gerade Angola in die Entwicklungspolitik einzubinden, verbargen. Um diese Frage beantworten zu können, befasste ich mich auch mit dem umfangreichen und komplexen Thema der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (EZA), konkreter dann mit der Veränderung der EZA in der Tschechoslowakei/Tschechien vor und nach dem Jahr 1989. Es war auch wichtig auf die historischen Ereignisse einzugehen, da diese als Grundlage für das Verständnis der Arbeit nicht wegzudenken sind. Der Zugang Tschechiens zu Angola hat sich nach dem Zerfall der Sowjetunion zwar geändert, dennoch bleiben die ökonomischen Interessen nach wie vor ein bedeutender Bestandteil bei der Auswahl eines Landes als Prioritätsland. Nach vielen Jahren der geleisteten EZA und erfüllten und unerfüllten Erwartungen wird Angola ab dem Jahr 2011 wieder als Prioritätsland aus der tschechischen EZA gestrichen. Dennoch bleibt es ein Land mit großen wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Problemen, das auch weiterhin von tschechischen Instituten und NGOs unterstützt wird, wenn auch mit anderen Donoren, als dem Tschechischen Staat.
description: This dissertation focuses on the relations between Angola and Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic before and after the year 1989, in terms of development policy. Based on literature research and interviews, I have analysed the main differences between development aid provided during the period of socialism and the way modern development cooperation works today. My goal was to discover the motives behind the willingness of Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic to support Angola chiefly in regards to development cooperation. To answer this question, I dealt with the extensive and complex field of development cooperation (DC), with a special look at the changes of DC in Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic before and after 1989. It was also important to examine the historical events, since they provide the essential basis for understanding this dissertation. The approach of the Czech Republic to Angola has changed after the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, economic interests continue to be an important part in the selection of a country as a priority country. After many years of DC, and fulfilled as well as unfulfilled expectations, from 2011 Angola will again cease to be a priority country of the Czech DC. Nevertheless, it remains a country with great economic and social problems that will continue to be supported by Czech institutions and NGOs, although with donors other than the Czech state.

description: Tanycypris siamensis Savatenalinton & Martens, 2009a
(Figs 5C, 6C, 6H, 7E, 10)
partim 1972 Strandesia camaguinensis (Tressler) —Okubo: 10, fig. 1 a–c.
Diagnosis. L = 1.02–1.15 mm, H = 0.45–0.52 mm; carapace in dorsal view narrow, in lateral view elongated with subequally rounded anterior and posterior margin. Surface of valves relatively smooth with a brown-yellowish colour. A1 with big Wouters organ (Fig. 10A,B), but without a dorsal subapical seta on the first segment. Long Rome organ present (Figs 5C, 10A). T1 with two a-setae, one b-seta and one d-seta, masticatory process with 14 setae (Fig. 6H). T2 with d1 longer than d2. CR stout with a hirsute Sp (Fig. 6C). CR-attachment very stout with a strong, curved db and a thick and short vb (Fig.7E). Males have been reported (Savatenalinton 2011), but so far no description has been published.
Similar species. Owing to the carapace shape, T. siamensis cannot be mistaken for T. madagascarensis. For similarities with T. alfonsi n. sp., T. centa and T. pellucida see descriptions of these species.
Remarks. Savatenalinton & Martens (2009a) described Tanycypris siamensis from Thailand and deposited the holotype (No. 3099) and one paratype (No. 3100) in the ostracod collection of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences. Two paratypes (MSU-ZOC 018—019) are deposited in the Natural History Museum Mahasarakham in Thailand. While the type material has not been studied, five specimens provided by the authors of the species have been investigated in the frame of the present study.
According to Savatenalinton & Martens (2009a) T. siamensis has no or an inconsiderable Wouters organ. However, the material investigated in the frame of this study showed a clearly visible Wouters organ (one fourth of the length of segment 1 + 2) (Fig. 10A,B).

title: Eine Generation des Schweigens
Creators: name: Kolmanics, Anja
Year: 2011

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit wirft cineastische Blicke auf das Heranwachsen während der Bürgerkriegsjahre mit einer medienwissenschaftlichen Analyse der drei Filme - „El espíritu de la colmena“ (Víctor Erice, Sp. 1973), „La prima Angélica“ (Carlos Saura, Sp. 1974) und „Las largas vacaciones del 36“ (Jaime Camino, Sp. 1975). Ziel ist es herauszufinden, warum gerade in den letzten Jahren der Diktatur vermehrt Filme aus der Kinderperspektive über den spanischen Bürgerkrieg gedreht wurden. Reale Ereignisse des Spanischen Bürgerkrieges sowie der Nachkriegszeit stehen Pate für die Themenwahl der Filme. Es stellte sich heraus, dass die Regisseure selbst den Bürgerkrieg erlebten, dass sie von der franquistischen Zensur stark eingeschränkt wurden, und, dass die brutale Repression nach dem Krieg zu einer Unterdrückung, Verdrängung und Tabuisierung bestimmter Themen führte. Aus diesen Ergebnissen ließ sich eine These formulieren: Die Verfilmung der eigenen Kindheit scheint dazu zu dienen, jahrelang unterdrückte und verdrängte Themen auf möglichst authentische Weise, wie sie die Regisseure selbst als Kinder erlebt hatten, wieder ins Bewusstsein zu rufen und gleichzeitig jene verbotenen Themen hinter der unschuldigen Kinderperspektive zu tarnen, um die strenge Zensur zu umgehen. Mithilfe der theoretischen Überlegungen zur Inszenierung von Kindern und der Informationen über die Regisseure ergab sich eine Methodik zur Analyse der ausgewählten Filme mit dem Fokus auf die Kinderfiguren. Gezeigt werden konnte jedenfalls, dass es sich bei den Filmen um mediale Reflexionen über eine kollektive Vergangenheit handelt, die ganz Spanien bis in die Gegenwart prägt und in den Filmen geeignete Speichermedien zur Arbeit an einer gesamt-spanischen Erinnerungskultur gefunden hat.

description: Diaphanocypris pedroensis nov. comb. (Tressler, 1950)
(Fig. 12A, D–F)
v * 1950 Strandesia pedroensis —Tressler: 79, Fig. 14 p–r, x. 2011 Tanycypris pedroensis —Martens & Savatenalinton: 75–76.
Diagnosis. L = 1.33 m, H = 0.56 mm, H <2L; greatest height at posterior third. Carapace in dorsal view narrow, elongated. Anterior margin broadly rounded. Posterior margin sloping ventrally. Surface of carapace smooth and sparsely set with setae. A1 with Wouters organ and Rome organ (Fig. 12A). T1 without b-seta and without d-seta (Fig. 12D). T2 without d1 and without d2. CR short and arcuate, Sp located at the base of Gp and "separated from it by less than the width of the seta" (Tressler 1950) (Fig. 12E). CR-Attachment without vb, but with two loops and a very long and slender db (Fig. 12F). Males unknown (Tressler 1950).
History. Tressler (1950) described this species as Strandesia pedroensis. He deposited the holotype in the NMNH (No. 83008). Broodbakker (1984) suggested that this species could be a synonym of, or at least a near relative of, Tanycypris inermis. Savatenalinton & Martens (2009b) list Strandesia pedroensis under "uncertain species in Strandesia ". Two years later Martens & Savatenalinton (2011) combined it as Tanycypris pedroensis without comment and listed the species as Strandesia pedroensis as well.
Conclusion. The lack of d1- and d2-seta on T2, the lack of b- and d-setae on T1 and the lack of vb on the CR attachment are characters typical of the genus Diaphanocypris in the Cypricercinae. Therefore we here suggest the new combination of Diaphanocypris pedroensis. This view is supported by the carapace shape in dorsal view, which is egg-shaped and not elliptical as in Tanycypris and Strandesia. Diaphanocypris pedroensis nov. comb. differs from D. meridana in the presence of a G2-seta on the A2 (no claw as in D. meridana), in the relatively shorter and arcuate CR (long and straight in D. meridana), the position of Sp in relation to the base of Gp (in D. meridana it is separated by more than the width of Sp) and the lateral outline of the carapace, which in D. pedroensis is more elevated and more oval than in D. meridana.

description: L'émergence de l'économie de la connaissance a conduit de nombreuses organisations à reconnaître l’importance de la connaissance comme une ressource cruciale, et a créé un défi de gestion complexe « la gestion des connaissances (KM) ». En raison des complexités culturelles, opérationnelles, dispersions géographiques et autres, ce défi est plus aigu pour les grandes organisations. Au cours des dernières années, plusieurs théories ont été avancées pour la pratique de GC. Cependant, étant donné la nature abstraite du domaine, il y a peu de consensus sur les composants et les modes de gestion des connaissances. Une grande partie de la recherche actuelle porte sur un ou quelques éléments organisationnels de la gestion des connaissances. Les relations critiques et fondamentales entre tous les éléments sont souvent ignorées. Le besoin de théories, principes et méthodes empiriques pour la gestion des connaissances est largement reconnu dans la littérature existante sur la gestion.

Le but de cet article est de mettre en lumière les principales théories de la gestion des connaissances y compris les modèles pratiques de gestion de connaissances, et de contribué à une bonne compréhension des bénéfices de la GC dans l’entreprise.
