Legal Pluralist Perspectives on Development and Cultural Diversity International Conference "Legal Pluralist Perspectives on Development and Cultural Diversity" August 31 - September 3, 2009 Zurich, Switzerland Program and Conference Papers Letter of Welcome Shalini Randeria and Markus Weilenmann University of Zurich and Commission on Legal Pluralis We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all participants of the Commission on Legal Pluralism's 16th conference organised jointly with the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology in Zurich. We are very pleased that there has been such a surge of interest in the conference resulting in the larg- est ever number of workshops and participants at a CLP conference. This reflects the increasing rel- evance of issues on legal pluralism and cultural diversity as well as our organisation's growing strength in various parts of the world. It is a welcome development indeed at a time when our disciplines, social anthropology as well as the interdisciplinary study of legal institutions and processes too, are under- going a transformation in the wake of major changes in the academic land-scape in universities across the world. The conference will give us an opportunity to discuss our ongoing research but equally to deliberate on the disciplinary and institutional challenges facing us in our diverse academic settings. After the unfortunate decision by the Chinese authorities to postpone the IUAES conference to be held in Kunming (China) in July 2008, we decided to hold the CLP's conference in Zurich at rather short no- tice. We would like to thank all the members of the local organising committee for the tremendous amount of work they have put in to ensure all arrangements for the conference. We appreciate the support of the Executive Body of the Commission on Legal Pluralism, the University of Zurich and the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology not only in hosting our conference but also for their efforts in raising additional funds from various Swiss national institutions for this event. This has fortu- nately allowed us to ensure the participations of several speakers from non-Western countries. As members of the local organising committee we look forward to your queries and suggestions on all matters concerning the conference and the Commission on Legal Pluralism. Please do not hesitate to contact us during this week. We hope you enjoy the conference in Zurich!

  • Stäfa–Rapperswil: Bauarbeiten Für Die Fahrbahnerneuerung Sind Auf Kurs
    Stäfa–Rapperswil: Bauarbeiten für die Fahrbahnerneuerung sind auf Kurs Die SBB erneuert zwischen Stäfa und Rapperswil die Fahrbahn. Gleichzeitig baut sie den Bahnhof Kempraten stufenfrei aus. Aufgrund dieser Bauarbeiten ist die Strecke Stäfa–Rapperswil bis und mit 7. August 2020 gesperrt. Es verkehren Bahnersatzbusse. Text: Lisa Forster, Vera Gsell | Fotos: Gian Ehrenzeller Weitere Artikel: www.news.sbb.ch 1/4 Erneuert werden die Gleise auf einer Länge von rund elf Kilometern, wobei auf rund zwei Kilometern auch der Unterbau saniert wird. Die Gleisbauteams wechseln rund 7000 Schwellen aus, verbauen 8500 Tonnen Schotter und erneuern zwei Weichen. Die Kosten für die Fahrbahnerneuerung betragen rund 10 Millionen Franken und werden über die Leistungsvereinbarungen mit dem Bund finanziert. Die gebündelten Bauarbeiten auf der Strecke finden während der Sommerferien statt, damit weniger Reisende von den Einschränkungen betroffen sind. Wo immer möglich, nutzt die SBB Synergien und bündelt verschiedene Bauarbeiten, um Ressourcen effizient einzusetzen. So dient die Totalsperre nebst den Arbeiten für die Fahrbahnerneuerung zwischen Stäfa und Rapperswil auch dem Umbau des Bahnhofs Kempraten: Dieser wird bis Ende 2020 stufenfrei ausgebaut. Die SBB setzt alles daran, die Einschränkungen für die Reisenden und den Lärm für die Anwohnerinnen und Anwohner auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren, und bittet die Betroffenen um Verständnis. Fahrplaneinschränkungen bis und mit Freitag, 7. August 2020: Auswirkungen auf den S-Bahnverkehr: Ausfall der S7 zwischen Stäfa und Rapperswil und Ausfall der S20 zwischen Stäfa und Zürich Hardbrücke. Reisende steigen wo möglich auf alternative S-Bahnen um oder benützen die Bahnersatzbusse der VZO. Die S16 fährt täglich bis 20 Uhr ausserordentlich von Herrliberg-Feldmeilen weiter bis Stäfa.

    Article Spatially-explicit models should consider real-world diffusion of renewable electricity: Solar PV example in Switzerland THORMEYER, Christoph, SASSE, Jan-Philipp, TRUTNEVYTE, Evelina Abstract Spatially-explicit bottom-up energy models with detailed renewable energy representation are increasingly developed. In order to inform such models, we investigate spatial diffusion patterns of solar PV projects in 2′222 Swiss municipalities. Using a dataset of feed-in tariff and one-time subsidy recipients in 2016, we show that PV diffusion was spatially uneven throughout Switzerland in terms of four indicators: the number of PV projects per municipality, per 1′000 inhabitants, per unit of municipal electricity demand, and per unit of municipal land area. Urban-rural divide and exploitable solar PV potential are the key, but not the only predictors of the spatial heterogeneity in PV diffusion. The structure of the municipal economy, socio-demographic characteristics, regional spillover effects, and additional differences in local contexts, such as local policies, matter as well. Spatial diffusion patterns to some extent structurally differ across sub-national regions too, indicating that such empirical investigations are valuable in order to understand what can be generalized. We conclude with recommendations for [...] Reference THORMEYER, Christoph, SASSE, Jan-Philipp, TRUTNEVYTE, Evelina.

  • Erzya E-Learning Course, Grammatical Description
    ERZYA E-LEARNING COURSE, GRAMMATICAL DESCRIPTION Sirkka Saarinen The European Commission support for the production of this publication does not constitute an endorsement of the contents which reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein. Sirkka Saarinen E-learning course: Erzya THE MORDVINS Moksha Mordvin girls Flag of the Mordvin Republic Erzya Mordvin women Mordvins = Erzyas and Mokshas The Mordvins are divided into two ethnic groups, Erzyas and Mokshas. The Mordvins reside in their own republic which is part of the Russian Federation (25,266 km2), in the territory between the Volga tributaries, the Oka and the Sura. Only 27% of the Mordvins dwell in the titular republic; the majority live in scattered enclaves over a very extensive area to the north and south of the borders of the republic as well as widely in the zone reaching to the Ural Mountains. According to the last Soviet census (1989) there were 1,154,000 Mordvins, although of these only 67% spoke their mother tongue Erzya or Moksha. The second Russian census (2010) estimated the number of Mordvins to have decreased by over 30 %, that is, to 806,000. About two-thirds of the Mordvins speak Erzya and one-third Moksha, which to some extent are mutually understandable. Literary languages for both groups were developed in the 1920s. The Mordvin languages belong to the Volgaic branch of the Finno-Ugric languages. The Russians began converting the Mordvins to the Orthodox faith as early as the 15th century.
