STOLJEĆA I NJEGOV IZVORNI IZVJEŠTAJ O VEZALOVOJ SMRTI 1564. GODINE Maurits Biesbrouck1, Theodoor Goddeeris2 and Omer Steeno3 Summary Reiner Solenander (1524-1601) was a physician born in the Duchy of Cleves, who got his education at the University of Leuven and at various universities in Italy and in France. Back at home he became the court physician of William V and later of his son John William. In this article his life and works are discussed. A report on the death of Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), noted down by Solenander in May 1566, one year and seven months after the death of Vesalius, is discussed in detail. Due to the importance of that document a copy of its first publication is given, together with a transcription and a translation as well. It indicates that Vesalius did not die in a shipwreck.

Enhance the effectiveness of migrant integration policy through improved co-ordination across government levels and implementation at the relevant scale (Objective 1) 2.1.1. Division of competences across levels of government In the Federal Republic of Germany, tasks, responsibilities and jurisdictive schemes are divided in general between the federal, Länder (state) and municipal levels. Three schemes exist: areas which fall under full federal jurisdiction; full Länder jurisdiction; and areas of concurrent regulations. The federal level has full jurisdiction in all areas regarding citizenship, foreign relations, defence, social security measures, and federation-wide measures for economic prosperity, traffic and for the most part in taxes (for instance in the areas of administration, customs, energy, tobacco and traffic). The Länder level’s responsibility lies in the areas of education, with full jurisdiction, as well as in research, regional economy and culture. Länder supervise municipalities and delegate financial means. They oversee the police, public transportation and are in charge of regional economic prosperity measures. Länder also regulate own tax revenues in the areas of, for instance, sales tax. Nonetheless, municipalities are important actors in the integration of migrants in Germany, especially when it comes to the implementation of federal and Länder legislation. They are by law autonomous entities in the Federal Republic’s administrative scheme and have considerable leeway, when federal legislation leaves room to manoeuvre in its interpretation (OECD, 2017a: 27). The municipal level maintains the local infrastructure and implements regulations in schools, museums, sports facilities and theatres.

  • Print Version
    Volume 2. From Absolutism to Napoleon, 1648-1815 Political Testament of Frederick William ("the Great Elector") (May 19, 1667) This extraordinary document displays Frederick William’s psychology and statecraft with unvarnished frankness. His deep religiosity is evident, but the ways in which his Calvinist faith differed from Lutheranism are not so easy to detect. Though he sometimes employs a patrimonial idiom in speaking of his rule (e.g., “the house of Brandenburg”), more often the accent falls on the “absolutist” military-bureaucratic state that he so mightily labored to erect. He writes with Machiavellian realism about domestic and international rivals for power within and over Brandenburg-Prussia, about his territorial ambitions, and the military and economic resources at his and his successor’s disposal. The fatherly love that I, as a father, bear for my son and future successor has compelled me to leave for him some useful lessons born of long experience, and to put these briefly into writing. [I do this] in consideration that it will be beneficial and necessary for him to know how he should lead his entire government, and how he should act, first and foremost regarding God, also regarding his peers, as well as his subjects, granted and entrusted to him by God, in religious and secular matters; [he should know] what kind of councilors he needs, how he should let councils vote, and also when and how he should make decisions; with whom he is in alliance, and with whom he still has to make such [alliances], and how he can improve the finances [Cammerstadt]; what is concerned in the maintenance of the fortresses, the naming of the fortresses that are there now, and what kinds of places could be established as convenient for the security and communication of the territories, what kind of garrisons are necessary therein during peacetime and wartime, as well as what is involved in the maintenance of the magazines and the expansion thereof.

  • Author's Response
    Author’s Response We would like to thank the editor, Randolph Williams, for initiating the review and discussion process. Our thanks also go to the two reviewers, John Hooker and Sadegh Karimpouli, whose comments are discussed below. On behalf of all co-authors, Yours sincerely, Martin Balcewicz Reviewer 1 (John Hooker) John Hooker: “These mostly concern the orientation of the fractures in the quarries, and their inferred orientations in the subsurface. As well, the conclusions are fairly scant and qualitative, especially in terms of what type of fracture patterns are predicted to be in the subsurface and why. Lastly, and relatedly, I think the authors have the data to weigh in on some long-standing debates about fractures at the surface versus those in the subsurface, the implications of which have important consequences for the hypothetical geothermal capacity. I think to make their study broadly applicable to similar problems elsewhere, and thus to warrant publication in the scientific literature, the authors need to be firmer in their conclusions and explain the implications for their findings on natural fracture patterns in general.” Authors' reply: We agree with you that the results of our fracture orientations were not sufficiently clear in the original version. Thank you for pointing out that you consider our study an important contribution to the long-standing debate on fractures on the surface compared to those underground. Nevertheless, we believe that our results are not universally applicable to all other geothermal sites due to the complex geological structures. However, our data and findings are particularly interesting for geothermal case studies that will also be conducted in the vicinity of an anticline.

  • North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) / India
    Page 1 of 13 Consulate General of India Frankfurt *** General and Bilateral Brief- North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) / India North Rhine-Westphalia, commonly shortened to NRW is the most populous state of Germany, with a population of approximately 18 million, and the fourth largest by area. It was formed in 1946 as a merger of the provinces of North Rhine and Westphalia, both formerly parts of Prussia, and the Free State of Lippe. Its capital is Düsseldorf; the largest city is Cologne. Four of Germany's ten largest cities—Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, and Essen— are located within the state, as well as the second largest metropolitan area on the European continent, Rhine-Ruhr. NRW is a very diverse state, with vibrant business centers, bustling cities and peaceful natural landscapes. The state is home to one of the strongest industrial regions in the world and offers one of the most vibrant cultural landscapes in Europe. Salient Features 1. Geography: The state covers an area of 34,083 km2 and shares borders with Belgium in the southwest and the Netherlands in the west and northwest. It has borders with the German states of Lower Saxony to the north and northeast, Rhineland-Palatinate to the south and Hesse to the southeast. Thinking of North Rhine-Westphalia also means thinking of the big rivers, of the grassland, the forests, the lakes that stretch between the Eifel hills and the Teutoburg Forest range. The most important rivers flowing at least partially through North Rhine-Westphalia include: the Rhine, the Ruhr, the Ems, the Lippe, and the Weser.

  • The Beginnings of Indwstrialization
    The Beginningsof Indwstrialization SHEILAGH OGILVIE Germanv and industrialization It may seem curious to speak of industrialization as beginning around 1500. Industrialization is often regarded as synonymous with the rise of mechanized manufacturing in centralized facrories, and this did nor occur even in England until 1760-80, and in Germany not until 1830-50. But machines and factories were only late landmarks - albeit important ones - in a much longer process of industrial growth in Europe, dating back to at least 1500. This long-term industrializationwas basedalmost wholly on decentralized work in producers' own houses, using domestic labour and a simple, slowly changing technology. Yet it was responsible for a gradual expansion in the proportion of the labour-force working in industry and the share of the total output of the economy representedby manufactures. It was also responsiblefor the emergence,between about 1500 and about 'indus- 1800, of what German historianshave called Gewerbelandschaften, trial regions', in which an above-averageproportion of people worked in industry and a substantial share of what they produced was exported beyond the region.l Important as factory industrialization was, many of its seeds were sown long before, during the slow and dispersed industri- alization of many regions of early modern Europe. This early modern industrial growth was part of a wider process of regional specializatioa, which began slowly in the late medieval period, but accelerated decisively during the sixteenth century. During this process many more European regions than ever before began to specializein partic- ular forms of agriculture, as well as particular branchesof industry, produc- ing surpluses for export and importing what they did not produce for themselves.Thus regional self-sufficiency declined, and inter-regional trade grew.
