Discriminating Duties and Their Bearing on the American Merchant Marine
Creators: name: Pendleton, May Harriet
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: One of the most urgent problems before the American people to-day is the upbuilding end maintaining of an adequate merchant marine for national defense and for commerce. Discriminating duties are extra or additional duties levied by one nation against the ships, or the products (or both) of another nation when these enter the ports of the first nation. The whole idea is, that the country enacting these discriminations against the vessels of competing nations, thus raising their costs of carriage, hopes by so doing, to force cargoes into its own ships.The United States used these discriminating duties for many years in its early history. It placed tonnage duties upon the ships themselves, and levied commodity duties upon the cargoes. Tonnage duties were made higher upon foreign ships than upon native ships, and import duties were higher upon goods carried in foreign ships than upon the same kinds of goods when transported by American ships. The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether or not the Merchant Marine and American trade and shipping would be benefited were a discriminating duty policy put into effect at the present time.
title: "doch in andere weeg ohne nachthaill und schaden"
Creators: name: Wagner, Nikolaus
Year: 2017

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit befasst sich mit dem Aufbau, der Organisation und der wirtschaft-lichen Tätigkeit des Langenloiser Bürgerspitals in der Frühen Neuzeit anhand seiner Geschäfts-bücher. Aufgrund einer günstigeren Quellenlage beschränkt sich die Analyse jedoch auf die Jahre 1673 – 1674 und 1773 – 1774 und bietet somit für den Zeitraum der zweiten Hälfte des 17. und des 18. Jahrhunderts einen ersten Einblick in die zentrale Fürsorgeanstalt des Marktes, dessen wirtschaftliche Grundlage vor allem auf dem Weinbau basierte. In erster Linie werden für die Untersuchung Rechnungsbücher als Quellenbasis herangezogen, die in den jeweiligen Jahren die Einnahmen und Ausgaben des Spitals dokumentierten. Hierfür wurden in einem ers-ten Schritt die zeitgenössischen Angaben nach heutigen Maßstäben korrigiert, nach einem ei-gens erstellten Kontenplan neu geordnet und summiert. Daraufhin wurden die Ergebnisse der einzelnen Jahre sowohl untereinander, als auch, soweit möglich, mit anderen Bürgerspitälern aus Niederösterreich verglichen. Zusätzlich zu den Rechnungsbüchern lassen sich auch durch weitere Quellen, wie bspw. spital-, wirtschafts- und Grundbücher mehr Informationen für den besagten Zeitraum erhalten. So liefern ein Inventar, ein Grundbuch und zwei Insassenverzeich-nisse wertvolle Angaben bezüglich der Vermögens- und Besitzstruktur des Bürgerspitals, so-dass besonders für die Jahre 1673 und 1774 eine äußerst genaue Darstellung des Aufbaus, der Organisation und der wirtschaftlichen Tätigkeit erreicht werden konnte.
description: The present master’s thesis focuses on the structure, organization and economic activity of the hospital of Langenlois during the Early Modern Period, based on its account books. Considering the availability to sources, the study concentrates on the time periods of 1673 – 1674 and 1773 – 1774. The research paper at hand provides a first presentation of one the most important welfare institutions of Langenlois, which economic base was especially built on growing and selling wine. The majority of the analyzed sources are account books in which earnings and expenses are listed for each year. Firstly, the information is corrected, newly structured and summarized by use of a new chart of accounts. Secondly, the results of each year are compared with each other and, if possible, with other similar institutions in Lower Austria. Additionally, other sources like spital-, wirtschafts-, or grundbücher are used to compile further information for the selected time period. Specifically data from one inventory, one grundbuch, and two resident registers are very conducive and valuable for the analysis of the hospital’s assets and property.

title: The Sources of Russian Conduct
Creators: name: Lyons, Michael
Year: 2017

description: Diese Masterarbeit befasst sich mit einer Analyse von drei verschiedenen Komponenten der Russischen Machtprojektion. Die erste Komponente behandelt das Modernisierungsprogramm des Militärs. Im zweiten Abschnitt geht es um die Beschreibung der verschiedenen Trends bei den Geheimdienstoperationen und die sogenannte „hybride Kriegsführung“. Soft Power und ökonomische Arbeitsmittel stehen im Zentrum des dritten Teils. Die Verbindung dieser drei Komponenten rückt Russland in die Position einer Großmacht im Internationalen System. Dabei greift diese Arbeit auf geschichtliche Geschehnisse, Theorien der Internationalen Beziehungen, Sicherheitsstudien und Wirtschaftstheorien zurück.
description: This thesis analyzes methods of Russian power projection in the Putin era through three categorical case studies: (1) recent developments in the military modernization program, (2) covert means of power projection, (3) the confluence of soft power and economic means of power projection. The thesis employs an interdisciplinary approach including; history, theories of international relations, and security studies, with limited forays into economic theory. Ultimately the Russian Federation has attempted in this period to project an enhanced power status through various techniques, the primary goal of which to operate as one of the premier global powers. Firstly the thesis explains the historical development of the Russian military modernization program’s (SAP-2020) creation and supply a brief survey of some of the advancements made to the Ground Forces, Navy, and Air Force. The Airborne troops and Strategic missile troops are not given special focus. Secondly, the most effective means of projecting Russian power has been covert means of power projection, this includes; hybrid warfare in Ukraine, political manipulation through cyber actions, assassinations, and penetration of independent states. Most of these actions are misjudged by Western scholarship as something new, but drawing on the continuation of Soviet techniques one can realize that these are not new but a continuation of old techniques. Thirdly, Russia utilizes formal levels of its power to not only coerce others into a preferred action but also to gain influence. The third chapter will focus on some of the recent trends in Russian smart power action. These trends include: the role of the Russian Orthodox Church in foreign policy, the relationship with Beijing, attempts at diversifying its economy, and the role of natural resources in its foreign policy. These factors portray to the reader how the Russian Federation is able to interlope into the club of great powers, through its action. While the Russian Federation has been dealt a relatively weak hand in comparison to other nations, it is able to play that hand very strongly and achieve its goals, operating as a great power. The time period focussed on for the bulk of the analysis is 2000 to 2016, however in certain cases for historical background and the latest developments this timeline may be deviated from

The Psychological Aspects of the Time Factor in Speed in Typewriting: An Exploratory Survey of the Effects of Various Classes of Words and Strokes
Creators: name: Bransford, Thomas Lowe
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: It is not here maintained that speed of typewriting is in itself of any great moment or that a fuller understanding of the factors underlying it will add greatly to the magnitude or diversity of the satisfactions of the race. Even in the field of office work and correspondence almost all authorities concede that it is of less importance than is accuracy of typewriting. Nor is speed of typewriting subject to the whimsical variations that beset accuracy; it is much less variable in an individual typist; it does not raise a myriad of problems requiring psychological explanation. According to Blackstone a three-minute test is sufficiently long to give a highly reliable op measure of an individual's speed.Any functioning of the organism as a whole is within the province of psychology. While typewriting is not on the same high intellectual level with creative sub-vocalization, it is a fairly complicated psychological process involving the learning and coordination of many tactual, perceptual, and motor responses. Speed of typewriting certainly is influenced by any number of psychological factors, many of them having to do with the training and experience and capacities of the typist; we are here concerned entirely with the influence of the nature of the material written on the speed of typewriting. Considerations of training, mechanical requirements of machines, and factors inherent in the typist all influence speed of typing but are not included in the scope of this study.The main emphasis in this study has been restricted to the discovery of clues in the nature of the material written which may account for fluctuations in the typing speed of the individual typist. Thus what little importance there is in the study will be for psychology rather than for typewriting. First, because nothing conclusive will be determined; second, because even if some relationships between the nature of the material and the speed with which it is written are definitely established, nothing much can be done about it. Typists will still have to type whatever material is needed for correspondence or other purposes. Employers can hardly be expected to compose their letters in such a way as to save thirty seconds of the typists' time. Thus, any information we acquire is more likely to bear on the psychological problem of what factors influence the performance of a certain skill than on the practical problem of improving that skill.
title: Constructing the Historical Past, Shaping Contemporary Politics
Creators: name: Strohmeier, Gerald
Year: 2017

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den aktuellen Geschichtsdiskursen in der Ukraine, ihren Einfluss auf den Nationsbildungsprozess sowie auf die ukrainische Politik, insbesondere auf die Außenpolitik. Basierend auf der Theorie des Konstruktivismus nach Hobsbawm werden aktuelle, wissenschaftliche und öffentliche Diskurse zu verschiedenen Perioden und Ereignissen und ihr Einfluss auf die ukrainische Nationalidentität analysiert. Dabei lässt sich feststellen, dass es sich kein einheitliches geschichtliches Gedächtnis in der Ukraine entwickelt hat. Die hatte zur Folge, dass sich auch keine einheitliche nationale Identität in der Ukraine gebildet hat. Die Unterschiede in den geschichtlichen Narrativen werden auch politisch unterschiedlich ausgelegt und beeinflussen die Politik, sowie außenpolitischen Beziehungen des Landes. Im politischen Diskurs lässt sich dabei ein pro-westliches und ein pro-russisches Narrativ feststellen. Ein Vergleich der ukrainischen Präsidentschaften seit 1991, macht die Instrumentalisierung unterschiedlicher geschichtlicher Narrative deutlich und zeigt, dass diese mit der Außenpolitik des Landes korreliert. Darüber hinaus, kann man beobachten, dass geschichtliche Diskurse auch ungewollte Auswirkungen auf die Außenpolitik des Landes haben können. Besonders relevant sind hierbei die Beziehungen der Ukraine zu Russland sowie Pole
description: This thesis analyses the importance of the interpretation of historical narratives for nation-building in Ukraine and its impact on foreign policy. Building on the constructivist approach of Eric Hobsbawm and Miroslav Hroch, it focuses on the narratives of different “key moments” in Ukraine’s history that are interpreted to define Ukraine’s national identity and serve as legitimation for its foreign policy. As the analysis of the discourses shows, different narratives exist in Ukraine, created different national identities. In politics, mainly two different narratives are used to legitimize the presidents: a pro-Western nationalist narrative and a rather pro-Russian narrative. By comparing the presidencies of Ukraine since 1991, parallels between the dominant historical narrative and the country’s foreign policy approach can be observed. This is particularly the case in the relations with Russia and Poland. In the case of Poland, it can furthermore be noticed that discourse of historical events can unintentionally influence relations with countries.

description: One of the most difficult problems encountered in the successful administration of our railroads is that offered by the weak roads. This problem is a stumbling block that obstructs the efforts of legislators and economists in working out a coordinated system of transportation. It must be considered when a rate structure is under contemplation, and it must be recognized in the formation of any plan for voluntary or compulsory consolidation. In fact, the weak road is one of the "weak links" in what might otherwise be an efficient chain of transportation units.In this thesis some of the phases of this problem will be discussed. An effort will be made to find out just what constitutes and causes weakness , and suggestions will be offered looking to a solution of the problem.

It is expected that most, if not all, of the forty-four state legislatures convening during the year will consider gas tax proposals, and it is certain that in no state will there be a bill introduced proposing to do away with the tax or even to reduce the rates. On the contrary, the tendency will be to seek an increase in the rate of tax.Due to the recent origin of the tax, decided court cases are few. It is the purpose of this treatise to discuss the cases which have been decided together with the general propositions of constitutional law presented.

title: Using Alternative Dispute Resolution to resolve patent disputes
Creators: name: Vancraeynest, Anouk
Year: 2017

description: Immaterielle Vermögenswerte sind für Firmen von großer Bedeutung, insbesondere in der heutigen Wirtschaft. Immaterialgüterrechte sind essentiell für das Unternehmen. Dies bedeutet dass es vermehrt zu immaterialgüterrechtlichen Streitigkeiten kommt. Diese Masterarbeit befasst sich schwerpunktmäßig mit Patentrechten. Ein Patentrecht ist ein Schutzrecht für eine Erfindung. Patente sind die Triebfeder für die Förderung von Innovation. Das Patent schützt die Erfindung innerhalb einer bestimmten Frist und innerhalb eines bestimmten Territoriums. Viele Patente verfügen über grenzüberschreitenden Schutz. Patentrechte sind essentielle Betriebsmittel. Daher gilt es Patenklagen auf effiziente Weise zu lösen. Traditionelle Patentklageverfahren vor Gericht sind nicht effektiv. Patentklageverfahren bringen die Gefahr langwieriger Auseinandersetzungen, hohe Rechtsstreitskosten und komplexe rechtliche Fragen mit sich. Oft gibt es abweichende oder unbefriedigende Ergebnisse. Die alternative Streitbeilegung (ADR) ist eine alternative, kostengünstigere Methode zur Beilegung der Patentstreitigkeiten. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit erläutert die Vorteile der alternativen Streitbeilegung (Vermittlungsverfahren und Schiedsverfahren). Anschließend werden Organisationen welche auf ADR spezialisiert sind und die Verfahrensregeln für Patentstreitigkeiten erklärt. Die Schlussfolgerung ist dass Alternative Streitbeilegung besser geeignet ist um die Patentstreitigkeiten zu schlichten.
description: In today’s economy, the intangible assets become more and more important for companies. Intellectual property rights are crucial to the majority of businesses nowadays. This implies that the intellectual property disputes are always increasing. This master thesis focuses on patent rights. Patent rights are a means to internationally protect inventions, for a limited period of time. Patent rights are often a major part of a company’s resources. This means that it is important that patent disputes can be dealt with in an efficient way. This master thesis illustrates that patent litigation is not very efficient, as it is time-consuming, very expensive, complex and not confidential. It follows that court decisions on patent issues are often not satisfying for the parties involved. Alternative Disputes Resolution can eliminate the downsides of patent litigation. The most important types of ADR (arbitration and mediation) and their advantages for patent disputes are described. After that, the existing specialized bodies and procedures are being set forth. We can conclude that the mechanisms of alternative dispute resolution are the most suitable mechanisms to meet the needs of modern issues that come with patent rights.

description: Moralvermittlung, poetische Gerechtigkeit, Bühnenillusion, gesittete Dialoge, rührende Szenen und subtile Komik waren Aspekte, die im josephinischen Wien bei einem Besuch der stark von der Regierung und Zensur beeinflussten Schaubühnen erwartet werden konnten. Obwohl diese Paradigmen des damaligen Wiener Theaters nur vereinzelt auf die Dramen William Shakespeares oder die elisabethanische Bühne, für die sie verfasst worden waren, zutreffen, kam es zur Zeit Josephs II. zu den ersten nachgewiesenen Shakespeare-Aufführungen in der österreichischen Hauptstadt. Um die Diskrepanz zu dem gegenwärtigen Theaterverständnis zu verringern, wurden die Stücke umgeändert und den herrschenden Verhältnissen angepasst. Von 1770 bis 1789 wurden in den Theatern nächst der Burg und nächst dem Kärntnertor insgesamt 16 Sprechtheater-Stücke aufgeführt, welche in zeitgenössischen Quellen und in der späteren Forschung als Auseinandersetzungen mit dem englischen Dramatiker rezipiert werden. Diese reichen von gekürzten und leicht abgeänderten Übersetzungen bis zu freien Bearbeitungen, die auf eigenständige Weise mit Shakespeares Handlungen und Figuren umgehen. Der gesittete Barde. Shakespeare-Adaptionen im josephinischen Wien untersucht die Bearbeitungen textanalytisch, um die Abänderungen herauszuarbeiten, die vermehrt an den aus England stammenden Vorlagen bzw. an deren bereits vorhandenen Übersetzungen vorgenommen wurden. Inwiefern diese das damalige Theatermodell widerspiegeln, liegt der Arbeit als Forschungsfrage zugrunde. Durch diese Vorgangsweise ermöglicht die Untersuchung der Shakespeare-Adaptionen, mehrere Charakteristika des Theaters der Wiener Aufklärung anhand plakativer Beispiele zu besprechen. Verschiedene theatertheoretische Positionen, die sich in Wiener Wochenschriften, Theatral-Almanachen oder Dramaturgien aus dem 18. Jahrhundert finden, werden beschrieben und mit der Vorgangsweise der Shakespeare-Bearbeiter verglichen. Die Aufgabe des Theaters als moralische Sittenschule, der kompromissbereite Umgang mit den drei aristotelischen Einheiten, die auf Illusion ausgerichteten Bühnenverhältnisse, der Einfluss und die Vorgaben der Zensur sowie die Stellung von Unterhaltungswert und Publikumsgeschmack im Verhältnis zur Theorie der Aufklärer werden dabei behandelt. Im Fokus der Arbeit stehen somit theaterhistorische Erkenntnisse, die sich über das Schauspiel des josephinischen Wiens und die frühe Shakespeare-Rezeption im österreichischen Raum gewinnen lassen. Theoretische Überlegungen zu dem Umgang mit für eine andere Zeit oder einen anderen Kulturraum verfassten Dramen werden begleitend angestellt. Hierzu werden sowohl Stellungnahmen aus dem Wien des 18. Jahrhunderts als auch eine kurze Betrachtung gegenwärtiger Shakespeare-Inszenierungen herangezogen.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to examine whether fear or anger is a more important driver of voting preference for populist candidates like Donald Trump. The total 716 respondents were asked questions about authoritarianism, sexism, and ethnocentrism, then were assigned randomly to 2 treatment groups focused either on anger or fear, or a control group focused on relaxation. Each group was then asked about their support for 2016 presidential primary candidates, policy preferences, and anticipated voting and participation in the election. This allowed for assessment of whether anger and/or fear boost or undermine support for political candidates.
title: Der spanische Diskursmarker "bien" und seine Entsprechungen im Deutschen
Creators: name: Schlager, Petra

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das Thema der Diskursmarker behandelt. Dabei wird unter-sucht, wie sich Diskursmarker definieren lassen, welche Funktionen und Merkmale sie haben. Um darauf eine Antwort zu finden, müssen Ansätze unterschiedlicher Linguisten zusammengefasst werden, weil bis heute keine einheitliche Definition für dieses Thema vorliegt. Diskursmarker sind ein sprachliches Phänomen, welches in der Sprache verwendet wird, dessen sich die Sprecher aber oft nicht bewusst sind. Im Konkreten habe ich mich mit dem spanischen Diskursmarker bien beschäftigt und analysiert, wie er in der Sprache verwendet wird. Bien als Diskursmarker ist in der Literatur im Vergleich zu anderen Diskursmarkern, wie zum Beispiel bueno, noch wenig erforscht, weswegen es für mich interessant ist, diesen näher zu untersuchen. Im Theorieteil stelle ich fest, dass der Diskursmarker bien am ehesten eine affirmative Funktion hat. Neben dieser Funktion kann bien auch als Konnektor des interaktiven, des kontinuativen oder des abschließenden Diskurses verwendet werden. Wie häufig bien als Diskursmarker im mündlichen Sprachgebrauch vorkommt und wie sich seine Funktionen verteilen, untersuche ich anhand einer Korpusstudie. Dafür verwende ich das Europarl-Korpus, ein Parallelkorpus. Es kann festgestellt werden, dass bien unter 2000 Vorkommnissen zu 6% als Diskursmarker vorkommt und darunter ist bien zu 83% ein affirmativer Marker. Neben dem Spanischen beschäftige ich mich auch mit der deutschen Sprache und untersuche, wie der spanische Diskursmarker bien ins Deutsche übersetzt wird. Aus diesem Grund ist es für diese Studie wesentlich, ein Parallelkorpus zu verwenden. Eine Frage, die während der Recherchearbeit auftaucht, ist, ob Modalpartikeln als Pendant zu Diskursmarkern gesehen werden können. Deswegen überprüfe ich, wie häufig sie als Übersetzungsmöglichkeit herangezogen werden. Am häufigsten (43%) wird der Diskursmarker bien nicht übersetzt und zu 18% wird er mit einer Modalpartikel wiedergegeben. Das seltene Vorkommen von bien als Diskursmarker kann als Grund angeführt werden, warum dieser in der Literatur noch nicht ausreichend behandelt ist.

Redécouvert dans les AIOr. Les restes d’un individu ont été trouvés en compagnie d’un élytre d’ Eurythyrea quercus, dans de la sciure au sol, au pied d’une branche cassée de chêne (Quercus sp.). Mis à part une mention historique des Grisons, sans exemplaire de référence, cette capture constitue la première donnée pour l’espèce dans cette région biogéographique. O. eremita, espèce très rare en Europe centrale et particulièrement exigeante (URS), se développe dans les larges cavités naturelles de divers feuillus (Quercus sp. et Castanea sp. en Suisse par ex.) remplies de terreau.
