  • Roots Radical – Place, Power and Practice in Punk Entrepreneurship Sarah Louise Drakopoulou Dodd
    Roots radical – Place, power and practice in punk entrepreneurship Sarah Louise Drakopoulou Dodd The significance continues to grow of scholarship that embraces critical and contextualized entrepreneurship, seeking rich explorations of diverse entrepreneurship contexts. Following these influences, this study explores the potentialized context of punk entrepreneurship. The Punk Rock band Rancid has a 20-year history of successfully creating independent musical and related creative enterprises from the margins of the music industry. The study draws on artefacts, interviews and videos created by and around Rancid to identify and analyse this example of marginal, alternative entrepreneurship. A three-part analytic frame was applied to analysing these artefacts. Place is critical to Rancid’s enterprise, grounding the band socially, culturally, geographically and politically. Practice also plays an important role with Rancid’s activities encompassing labour, making music, movement and human interactions. The third, and most prevalent, dimension of alterity is that of power which includes data related to dominance, subordination, exclusion, control and liberation. Rancid’s entrepreneurial story is depicted as cycles, not just a linear journey, but following more complicated paths – from periphery to centre, and back again; returning to roots, whilst trying to move forwards too; grounded in tradition but also radically focused on dramatic change. Paradox, hybridized practices, and the significance of marginal place as a rich resource also emerged from the study. Keywords: entrepreneurship; social construction; punk rock; paradox; marginality; periphery Special thanks are due to all the punks and skins who have engaged with my reading of the Rancid story, and given me so much support and feedback along the way, especially Rancid’s drummer, Branden Steineckert, Jesse from Machete Manufacturing, Kostis, Tassos (Rancid Punx Athens Crew) and Panayiotis.

    16/07/2021 EMSR517 – Flood in Western Germany EMSR518 – Flood in Belgium EMSR519 – Flood in Switzerland EMSR520 – Flood in The Netherlands EMS INFORMATION BULLETIN Nr 144 THE COPERNICUS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SERVICE The Copernicus Emergency Management Service forecasts, notifies, and monitors devastating floods in Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland CEMS flood forecasting and notifying in Germany On 9 and 10 July, flood forecasts by the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service indicated a high probability of flooding for the Rhine River basin, affecting Switzerland and Germany. Subsequent forecasts also indicated a high risk of flooding for the Meuse River basin, affecting Belgium. The magnitude of the floods forecasted for the Rhine River basin increased significantly in this period. The first EFAS notifications were sent to the relevant national authorities starting on 10 July and, with the continuously updated forecasts, more than 25 notifications were sent for specific regions of the Rhine and Meuse River basins in the following days until 14 July. Figure: EFAS flood forecast from 12.07.2021 00:00 UTC Providing early and current maps of flooded areas On 13 July, the CEMS Rapid Mapping component was activated to map the ongoing floods in parts of Western Germany (EMSR517 Mapping Website , EMSR517 Activation Viewer). As a flood peak was foreseen on 16 July for segments of other rivers, CEMS preemptively acquired satellite images of the vulnerable area through Pre-Tasking on 14 July. These early images informed ensuing activations by the CEMS Rapid Mapping component based on the EFAS forecasts for areas in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and France.

  • Provenance Determination of Paleochannel Infillings in the Alsatian Upper Rhine Floodplain Using Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy- Discriminant Analysis

These paleochannels are filled by mixed or stratified clastic and organic sediments originating from different sediment sources. Identifying these sediments' provenance is critically important for understanding past surface processes and reconstructing the Upper Rhine Valley evolution in the course of the Holocene. This study employed mid-infrared spectroscopy to determine the source of sediments and, therefore, understand which rivers may have contributed to the paleochannel infilling and establish the main patterns of filling through time. Sediment samples with unknown sedimentary provenance were collected in 16 sites consisting of paleochannels and the Ill River's levees. Mid-Infrared spectroscopic analyses were carried out on powdered (< 2 mm) samples using a Frontier Spectrometer (PerkinElmer) equipped with Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform accessory.

  • Results of Recent Terrace Research in the Middle Rhine Valley
    Results of Recent Terrace Research in the Middle Rhine Valley A lot of questions concerning the sequence of terraces in the Middle Rhine Valley as well as their genetic dependence on geological, geomorphological and climatic processes remain insufficiently answered. So far, three issues in particular have required further examination: -The phenomenon of the horizontal consistency ("Horizontalkonstanz") of the main terraces cannot be explained coherently. -Studies from adjoining valleys of the Nahe and Lahn rivers, have identified larger numbers of terraces within the upper terrace group (ANDRES & SEWERING 1983; GÖRG 1984; SEWERING 1993). -Unsolved problems concerning the positions and ages of the older (äHT) and younger (jHT) main terraces. Given these problems, we started re-mapping the terraces of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley by conducting numerous borehole drillings. Our results, which we combined with the findings presented in previous studies, demonstrate the existence of a total of 28 alluvial sediment bodies in the valleys of the rivers Nahe and Rhine between Bad Kreuznach, Bingen and Boppard (GÖRG 1984; PREUSS 1983; ANDRES & PREUSS 1983; PREUSS, BURGER & SIEGLER 2015). For the Lower Middle Rhine Valley we mainly used the publications of BIBUS (1980), HOSELMANN (1994) AND BOENIGK & HOSELMANN (2003). For the Moselle and Lahn CORDIER et al. (2006, 2014) and SEWERING (1993) provided helpful insights. Further information was obtained from FUCHS et al. (1983), BIBUS & SEMMEL (1977)AND SEMMEL (2009). .The Downstream Correlation Diagram (DCD) of river terraces in the Lower Nahe and Upper Middle Rhine Valley (see Fig. 1) contains 28 alluvial sediment bodies. They were identified at key locations with more than 720 borehole drillings, many of them in clusters, which in most cases reached the rockbed of the river terraces.

Transplanted strains keep their inherited spawning time in the new environment for many generations - spawning time is stock specific. The timing of reproduction ensures optimal timing of hatching and initial feeding for the offspring (Heggberget 1988) and is of selective importance Spawning time of non-native stocks in river Gudenau (Denmark) (G. Holdensgaard, DCV, unpublished data) and spawning time of the extirpated Sieg salmon (hist. records) A common garden experiment - spawning period (lines) and peak-spawning (boxes) of five introduced (= allochthonous) stocks returning to river Gudenau (Denmark) (n= 443) => the Ätran strain demonstrates the closest consistency with the ancient Sieg strain (Middle Rhine).
