Further- more, JARA-BRAIN works closely with the International Research Training Group (IRTG) 1328 on brain behaviour relationships in schizo- phrenia and autism as well as the Aachen Institute for Advanced Study in Computational Engineering Science (AICES). There is already collaborative agreement with the proposed Cluster of Excellence “Me- dia: Material Conditions and Cultural Practice“ Implementation: Clin- ical scientists will start as Junior Professors with tenure track (W1), supplemented by young physicians from the alliance institutions. The certified education will imply independence from everyday clinical duties yet awareness of its needs. The new generation of academic leaders will facilitate the convergence of clinical and basic neuro- science in translational medicine, shape education, and enhance clin- ical practice.

UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 COPYRIGHT BY TERRY DALE THOMPSON 1996 ABSTRACT God's Special Way examines the relationship between Halle Pietism and the Hohenzollern monarchy in order to discern the nature and effect on Brandenburg-Prussia of that alliance. Halle Pietism was a reform movement within the Lutheran church in 17th and 18th century Germany that believed the establishment church had become too concerned with correct theology, thus they aimed at a revival of intense Biblicism, personal spirituality, and social reform. The Pietists, led by August Hermann Francke (1662-1727) , and King Friedrich Wilhelm I (rl7l3-l740) were partners in an attempt to create a Godly realm in economically strapped and politically divided Brandenburg-Prussia. In large measure the partnership produced Pietist control of Brandenburg- Prussia'a pulpits and schoolrooms, despite the opposition of another informal alliance, this between the landed nobility and the establishment Lutheran church, who hoped to maintain their own authority in the religious and political spheres.

INTRODUCTION On 117 rolls of this microfilm publication, M1947, are reproduced the administrative records, photographs of artworks, and property cards from the Wiesbaden Central Collecting Point during the period 1945–52. The Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives (MFAA) Section recovered Nazi-looted works of art and artifacts from various storage areas and shipped the objects to one of four U.S. central collecting points, including Wiesbaden. In order to research restitution claims, MFAA officers gathered intelligence reports, interrogation reports, captured documents, and general information regarding German art looting. The Wiesbaden records are part of the “Ardelia Hall Collection” in Records of United States Occupation Headquarters, World War II, Record Group (RG) 260.

  • Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) City of Bielefeld Executive Summary
    Integrated Action Plan (IAP) / Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) City of Bielefeld Executive Summary Starting position Bielefeld is a city with a heterogeneous and polycentric settlement structure. With an area of 258 square kilometers and 340,000 inhabitants, it is the 18th most populated city in Germany and No. 8 in the federal state of North Rhine Westphalia.The city is divided into ten districts, which, in terms of settlement structure, can be divided into a densely populated center with the city districts “Mitte” and “Schildesche” as well as the more extensive eight outer districts. Due to the partly rural outdoor areas over 50 percent of the city are agricultural and forest areas, which is slightly above the average of small cities in North Rhine-Westphalia. A special structural feature of Bielefeld is the division into two parts by the Teutoburg Forest, which is both green lung and "traffic needle". The city structure can also be seen in the interlinkages. The Bielefeld city center, with its high proportion of jobs, is the nerve center of the path links. The most commonly used traffic links are radially aligned with the center. In addition to the city center, the district centers characterize the city. Thus, e.g. the district centers “Brackwede” and “Sennestadt” south of the Teutoburg Forest and the center of “Heepen” northeast of the city center have high domestic traffic. Important traffic generators outside of the city center continue to be Bethel in Gadderbaum district, with around 8,500 employees the city's largest employer, and the University and University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld with around 35,000 students located west of the center in the districts “Dornberg” and “Schildesche”.

  • Wreaths of Time: Perceiving the Year in Early Modern Germany (1475-1650)
    Wreaths of Time: Perceiving the Year in Early Modern Germany (1475-1650) Nicole Marie Lyon October 12, 2015 Previous Degrees: Master of Arts Degree to be conferred: PhD University of Cincinnati Department of History Dr. Sigrun Haude ii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT “Wreaths of Time” broadly explores perceptions of the year’s time in Germany during the long sixteenth century (approx. 1475-1650), an era that experienced unprecedented change with regards to the way the year was measured, reckoned and understood. Many of these changes involved the transformation of older, medieval temporal norms and habits. The Gregorian calendar reforms which began in 1582 were a prime example of the changing practices and attitudes towards the year’s time, yet this event was preceded by numerous other shifts. The gradual turn towards astronomically-based divisions between the four seasons, for example, and the use of 1 January as the civil new year affected depictions and observations of the year throughout the sixteenth century. Relying on a variety of printed cultural historical sources— especially sermons, calendars, almanacs and treatises—“Wreaths of Time” maps out the historical development and legacy of the year as a perceived temporal concept during this period. In doing so, the project bears witness to the entangled nature of human time perception in general, and early modern perceptions of the year specifically. During this period, the year was commonly perceived through three main modes: the year of the civil calendar, the year of the Church, and the year of nature, with its astronomical, agricultural and astrological cycles. As distinct as these modes were, however, they were often discussed in richly corresponding ways by early modern authors.
