It was an afternoon tour and I joined a small group of 20 other aspiring veterinary candidates. We sat in the semi-empty and unfinished cold building on folding chairs for a presentation about this new college. Problem-based learning and small group sessions were just the way I wanted to learn about veterinary medicine. That was 10 years ago and I can honestly say I am proud to be an alumna of the 2007 charter class. Since graduation I have been working as a feline specialist at a feline only clinic in Orange, Calif. Although I love all animals, I knew I had the necessary skills to work with cats, something many of my classmates still don’t understand to this day. They are definitely not small dogs and have their own agenda. I plan to pursue board certification in feline medicine this year as I near my five-year experience mark. I also truly enjoy surgery and diagnostic imaging. The “self-directed” and “student-centered” learning curriculum at WesternU not only prepared me to be a competent clinician right out of college, but it also better prepared me for all of life’s little challenges. I can problem solve just about anything and I am not afraid to take on challenging cases. I have been a full-time clinician since graduation, but have always enjoyed teaching throughout my career. I satisfied this part-time desire by giving presentations at work to the technicians to further expand their knowledge on important feline diseases. But I wanted more! Dr. John Tegzes suggested I get involved with IPE, mini PBL sessions that involve all health colleges at WesternU. The fall of 2010, I For more on started working as a facilitator on my day off from the clinic. The following summer I was ecstatic when I was offered a position to WesternU’s be a full-time facilitating assistant veterinarian for the first and second year students. Having been through this rigorous process, I PBL process, see Page 5. hope to be able to convey to the students the importance of developing critical thinking and communication skills. When they feel overwhelmed and worry about their competencies, I eagerly remind them why they are here: to become excellent clinicians. These students are so lucky to be able to pursue their lifelong goals and become members of one of the best and most rewarding careers. I am happy to be part of their learning process while still enjoying my patients at the clinic. It really is the best of both worlds.

    Challenge Working Paper July 2007 The politics of subterfuge and EU JHA governance capacity Raphael Bossong, LSE This paper starts out from a puzzle: Why is EU JHA characterized by frustrations and blockades, while it is at the same time one of the most dynamic policy-areas?1 Posed in such general terms, this question is almost impossible to answer: Not only is EU JHA policy2 a highly diverse, but has also seen phases of ambitious agenda-setting contrasted by periods of stagnation.3 Therefore, a convincing answer to the above puzzle would require an extensive historical exposition of this policy area, which is beyond the scope of this paper. Here I only intend to review some general factors that inform EU’s current governance capacity in JHA,4 giving particular emphasis to the problems posed by unanimous decision- making in the Third Pillar.5 This structuralist approach cannot explain any particular instances of EU JHA policy-making on its own,6 but it aims to inform subsequent case studies. The paper proceeds in four steps. In a first part, I will discuss the EU’s structural obstacles to unanimous decision-making from a rationalist perspective. For this purpose I draw heavily on the work of Fritz Scharpf (1997) and Adrianne Héritier (1999) who have introduced many useful insights from comparative politics and policy analysis into EU studies. In the second part, I will survey different strategies for successful policy-making under extensive structural constraints to account for the dynamic development of EU JHA policy in recent years. This overview will be broken down into the classic dimensions of policy, polity and politics.

  • Licensing and Differential Object Marking: the View from Neo-Aramaic Laura Kalin
    Syntax 21:2, June 2018, 112–159 DOI: 10.1111/synt.12153 Licensing and Differential Object Marking: The View from Neo-Aramaic Laura Kalin Abstract. I propose a novel analysis of differential object marking (DOM) that revolves around nominal licensing and, unlike most previous accounts, does not appeal to object visibility (e.g., Danon 2006, Lyutikova & Pereltsvaig 2015), object raising (e.g., Bhatt & Anagnostopoulou 1996, Baker & Vinokurova 2010), or object differentiation or identification (e.g., Aissen 2003, De Hoop & Malchukov 2008). I argue (i) that not all nominals need abstract licensing (following Massam 2001, Danon 2006, Ormazabal & Romero 2013), but also that all nominals have the potential to be licensed, that is, all nominals are visible to case and agreement processes; (ii) that the set of objects that are overtly marked (e.g., by case or agreement) can reveal the set of nominals that require licensing in a language, and (iii) that clauses typically have one obligatory nominal licenser, with secondary licensers merging only when needed for convergence (following Levin & Massam 1985; Bobaljik 1993; Laka 1993, 2000; Rezac 2011). Taken together, I show that variation in the types of nominals that need licensing and the location/identity of obligatory and secondary licensers can derive crosslinguistic differences in case, agreement, and DOM patterns. This unified account simplifies our understanding of nominal licensing within and across languages, as it does not require objects to have special properties as compared to subjects, nor does it fundamentally differentiate DOM languages from non-DOM languages. The motivating data come largely from the Neo-Aramaic language Senaya, which clearly illustrates that certain nominals can occupy a position where abstract licensing is unavailable.

  • The Future of Schengen. Internal Border Controls As a Growing
    NO. 44 OCTOBER 2018 Introduction The Future of Schengen Internal Border Controls as a Growing Challenge to the EU and the Nordics Raphael Bossong and Tobias Etzold The free movement of people is considered one of the key achievements of the Euro- pean Union. Even though the Schengen Agreement has survived the most difficult phase of the refugee crisis, it is now under threat again. It is no longer possible to reconcile temporary internal border controls that Germany, France, Austria, Sweden, Denmark and Norway introduced in 2015 with the stipulated deadlines and proce- dures of the Schengen regulation. The common European regime is increasingly at risk due to concerns over narrow domestic policies or that individual countries, in particular Denmark, will exit. Such a potential break would be drastic, especially for the Nordic states where the principle of open internal borders has previously been practiced for decades, but whose recent controls have so far received less attention in the European debate. A compromise is, therefore, urgently required to fully restore the free movement of people in the Schengen area whilst, at the same time, taking greater account of the security interests of the member states. As the main trigger for border controls, Germany has a key role to play here. During the height of the refugee crisis be- This sharply contradicted the principle of a tween autumn 2015 and spring 2016, six borderless North, not least as these actions Schengen member states introduced con- were hardly coordinated with each other. trols at some of their internal European Meanwhile, France was forced to declare borders.

After the terrorist of attacks of Madrid and London,, member states agreed on a comprehensive strategy to prevent radicalisation and recruitment into terrorism, but simultaneously underlined the limits of EU competences. The European Commission therefore focused on indirect measures, such as research support. Over time, however, both flexible cooperation among a subset of member states and new EU initiatives generated few or biased policy outputs.

  • Countering Terrorism and Organized Crime: EU Perspectives Raphael Bossong, Europa University Viadrina, Frankfurt (O.)
    EU-China Security Cooperation: performance and prospects Policy paper series, Summer 2014 Countering Terrorism and Organized Crime: EU Perspectives Raphael Bossong, Europa University Viadrina, Frankfurt (O.) 1. INTRODUCTION Over the last fifteen years, it has been commonplace to view terrorism and organized crime as the most pressing transnational security issues for Europe, while conventional military threats have – at least until recently – been de-emphasized. The 2003 EU Security Strategy argued that “large-scale aggression against any Member State is now improbable. Instead, Europe faces new threats which are more diverse, less visible and less predictable”.1 Yet despite the global repercussions of 9/11, conceptions of appropriate counterterrorist polices strongly diverge between Europe and many other parts of the world. The kinds of terrorist threats faced by China and Europe also share very few similarities. China faces various separatists’ movements that occasionally resort to terrorist attacks, while in Europe serious ethnic-separatist terrorism, as exemplified by ETA or the IRA, has been on the decline. The EU has instead mostly been concerned with Islamic radicals and, to a lesser degree, political right- or left-wing extremists. Chinese attempts to associate ethnic separatists, mainly the Uighurs, with global Islamic terrorism, have not generally been accepted by Western countries. If one adds the long-standing disputes over the status of Tibet and the principle of non-intervention, discussions on terrorism appear to be a potential spoiler of EU-Chinese relations rather than a basis for cooperation. The area of organized crime presents a different picture. The expansion of globalization and deep economic ties between Europe and Asia has been shadowed by the growth and diversification of organized crime groups.

In doing so, we focused primarily on international challenges. At our events, however, we were increasingly confronted with questions about Germany’s positions – sometimes with fear and unease about whether Berlin was, for example, taking certain threats seriously enough – but almost always with great expectations of our country. At home, on the other hand, people still regularly underestimate how important our country is now considered to be almost everywhere in the world.

    Prosody in Spanish-Portuguese Contact Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades der Doktorin der Philosophie bei der Fakultät für Geisteswissenschaften der Universität Hamburg vorgelegt von Elena Kirilova Kireva (Haskovo, Bulgarien) Hamburg, 2016 Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Christoph Gabriel Zweitgutachterin: Prof. Dr. Trudel Meisenburg Datum der Disputation: 15. September 2015 Angenommen von der Fakultät für Geisteswissenschaften der Universität Hamburg am: 16. September 2015 Veröffentlicht mit Genehmigung der Fakultät für Geisteswissenschaften der Universität Hamburg am: 01. September 2016 To my grandparents Elenka Petkova and Yordan Petkov i Abstract The contact varieties Olivenza Portuguese and Olivenza Spanish, spoken in the border area between Extremadura (Spain) and Alto Alentejo (Portugal), have long been disregarded in research on both intonation and speech rhythm. The present work aims to fill this gap by in- vestigating the intonation and the speech rhythm of Olivenza Portuguese spoken by bilingual speakers and of Olivenza Spanish spoken by monolingual speakers and by offering a detailed description of the intonational and rhythmic patterns of these two contact varieties. Such a description contributes, first, to a better knowledge of the varieties spoken in the Romance space, second, to a documentation of a dying variety, namely Olivenza Portuguese, and third, to a better understanding of how prosodic systems in language contact situations change. To achieve the goals presented above, semi-spontaneous speech recorded from ten bi- lingual speakers of Olivenza Portuguese and ten monolingual speakers of Olivenza Spanish was examined. The material analyzed with respect to both intonation and speech rhythm in- cludes neutral and biased declaratives, neutral and biased yes-no questions, neutral and biased wh-questions, echo questions, and imperatives.
