Several parameters of soil structure, chemistry, and microbiology were monitored along with soil CO2 emissions in research conducted in soils derived from a glacial till. The investigation was carried out during the 2012 growing season in Northern −1 −1 Germany. Higher potentials of soil CO2 emissions were found in grassland (20.40 µg g dry weight h ) compared to arable land (5.59 µg g−1 dry weight h−1) within the incubating temperature from 5°C to 40°C and incubating moisture from 30% to 70% water holding capacity (WHC) of soils taken during the growing season. For agricultural soils regardless of pasture and arable management, we suggested nine key factors that influence changes in soil CO2 emissions including soil temperature, metabolic quotient, bulk density, WHC, percentage of silt, bacterial biomass, pH, soil organic carbon, and hot water soluble carbon (glucose equivalent) based on Downloaded by [Zhanli Wang] at 03:03 27 July 2015 principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. Slightly different key factors were proposed concerning individual land use types, however, the most important factors for soil CO2 emissions of agricultural soils in Northern Germany were proved to be metabolic quotient and soil temperature. Our results are valuable in providing key influencing factors for soil CO2 emission changes in grassland and arable land with respect to soil respiration, physical status, nutrition supply, and microbe-related parameters.

    Eigenwillige Feuersteinartefakte als Zeugen einer Flintensteinherstellung von der Ostseeküste des Dänischen Wohlds, Kr. Rendsburg-Eckernförde, Schleswig-Holstein Volker Arnold & Renate Jeske Zusammenfassung – Umfangreiche Aufsammlungen von R. Jeske an einer ca. 13 km langen Küstenstrecke um Noer-Lindhöft an der südlichen Eckernförder Bucht konnten zum größten Teil der Herstellung von Flintensteinen zugeordnet werden. Die lokalen eiszeitlichen Ablagerungen sind reich an Flint. Archivalisch ist hier bisher ein Flintensteinschläger für die erste Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts belegt. Die im Strandgeröll gesammelten, umgelagerten und mehr oder weniger gerollten Artefakte repräsentieren Reststücke der Herstellung von abschlagbasierten Flintensteinen („wedges“). Unbearbeitete Abschläge spielen im Fundmaterial eine geringe Rolle. Besonders die kleine- ren Stücke könnten entnommen worden sein, um sie an anderer, bisher noch unbekannter Stelle weiterzubearbeiten. Ein Teil der Funde, wahrscheinlich nicht mehr als 20 %, scheint urgeschichtlichen Ursprungs zu sein. Einige von ihnen konnten dem Spätmesolithikum bis Spätneolithikum zugeordnet werden. Gebrauchsfertig retuschierte Flintensteine oder Feuerschlagsteine konnten bisher nicht identifiziert werden. Die Abfälle, unter denen größere Abschläge mit Negativen auf der Ventralfläche und gurkenförmig gekrümmte Kerne am auffäl- ligsten und eindeutigsten sind, entsprechen den jüngst von J.

  • Danish Minority Education in Schleswig-Holstein
    DANISH MINORITY EDUCATION IN SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN Sonja Wolf ECMI WORKING PAPER #87 October 2015 ECMI- Working Paper # 87 The European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) is a non-partisan institution founded in 1996 by the Governments of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the German State of Schleswig-Holstein. ECMI was established in Flensburg, at the heart of the Danish-German border region, in order to draw from the encouraging example of peaceful coexistence between minorities and majorities achieved here. ECMI’s aim is to promote interdisciplinary research on issues related to minorities and majorities in a European perspective and to contribute to the improvement of interethnic relations in those parts of Western and Eastern Europe where ethno-political tension and conflict prevail. ECMI Working Papers are written either by the staff of ECMI or by outside authors commissioned by the Centre. As ECMI does not propagate opinions of its own, the views expressed in any of its publications are the sole responsibility of the author concerned.

Malloy © ECMI 2015 2 | P a g e ECMI- Working Paper # 87 DANISH MINORITY EDUCATION IN SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN This paper examines the educational system of the Danish minority in Germany. The minority is settled in Germany’s northernmost state, Schleswig -Holstein, and is known to enjoy one of the most advanced minority protection regimes in Europe. One pillar of this regime is the educational system, which is the subject of this paper. It gives a detailed account of how this system developed over time, and the legal framework that came into being in order to regulate the Danish minority’s rights, freedoms and obligations in terms of education.

    The Consequences of Radical Reform: The French Revolution ONLINE APPENDIX By Daron Acemoglu, Davide Cantoni, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson ∗ Online Appendix A: Definition of the Territories The 19 German territories in the dataset have been chosen following a series of general principles. First, given that our \reforms index" captures the evolu- tion of reforms in the 19th century, we followed post-1815 border definitions. Of all the territories emerging from the reorganization of the Napoleonic era, and concluded with the Congress of Vienna in 1815, we have then proceeded to ex- clude those too small to make a computation of urbanization rates meaningless (e.g., the Thuringian states, Waldeck, Lippe, Nassau. ), or where no evidence on the pre-1800 evolution of total population was available. Finally, we have di- vided Prussia into its constituent provinces, in order to capture different levels of French/Napoleonic influence, and in order to avoid a dataset of too unequally- sized polities. Within the province of Westphalia, we have singled out the Ruhr mining area (identified with the former county of Mark), to check if this heavily industrialized area is responsible for our main findings (see Table 4, column (1)). 1) Rhineland (Prussia).
