  • The German North Sea Ports' Absorption Into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914
    From Unification to Integration: The German North Sea Ports' absorption into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914 Henning Kuhlmann Submitted for the award of Master of Philosophy in History Cardiff University 2016 Summary This thesis concentrates on the economic integration of three principal German North Sea ports – Emden, Bremen and Hamburg – into the Bismarckian nation- state. Prior to the outbreak of the First World War, Emden, Hamburg and Bremen handled a major share of the German Empire’s total overseas trade. However, at the time of the foundation of the Kaiserreich, the cities’ roles within the Empire and the new German nation-state were not yet fully defined. Initially, Hamburg and Bremen insisted upon their traditional role as independent city-states and remained outside the Empire’s customs union. Emden, meanwhile, had welcomed outright annexation by Prussia in 1866. After centuries of economic stagnation, the city had great difficulties competing with Hamburg and Bremen and was hoping for Prussian support. This thesis examines how it was possible to integrate these port cities on an economic and on an underlying level of civic mentalities and local identities. Existing studies have often overlooked the importance that Bismarck attributed to the cultural or indeed the ideological re-alignment of Hamburg and Bremen. Therefore, this study will look at the way the people of Hamburg and Bremen traditionally defined their (liberal) identity and the way this changed during the 1870s and 1880s. It will also investigate the role of the acquisition of colonies during the process of Hamburg and Bremen’s accession. In Hamburg in particular, the agreement to join the customs union had a significant impact on the merchants’ stance on colonialism.

Therefore prevention is very important in the community of Delmenhorst. The city of Delmenhorst has undertaken the task of avoiding injuries caused by accidents and violence by means of systematic precaution as far as possible. A successful prevention is the precondition for a cross-departmental and systematical approach. The prevention must not only include the reaction to the current occurrences, but must also include a comprehensive and systematic long-term, active strategy. With the report on hand “accreditation of the city of Delmenhorst as safe community” the community of Delmenhorst applies for the acceptance to the international network of the “Safe Communities”. The stakeholders in Delmenhorst would like to learn from the experiences of other countries and they want to provide the international community with their knowledge regarding prevention.

However, there is no correlation between deliveries in Thielallee 88–92, D-14195 Berlin, Germany. hospital buildings (clinical deliveries) and the stork population. The decline in the E-mail: number of pairs of storks in the German state of Lower Saxony between 1970 and [email protected] 1985 correlated with the decrease of deliveries in that area. The nearly constant num- ber of deliveries from 1985 to 1995 was associated with an unchanged stork popula- tion (no statistical significance). However, the relevance of the stork for the birth rate in that part of Germany remains unclear, because the number of out-of-hospital deliv- eries in this area is not well documented. A lack of statistical information on out-of- hospital deliveries in general is a severe handicap for further proof for the Theory of the Stork. The intended value (disclaimer): This article is not intended to disprove the value of serious epidemiological investigations. It is an example of how studies based on popular belief and unsubstantiated theory, seconded by low quality references and supported by coincidental statistical association could lead to apparent scientific endorsement.

  • Further Improvement in Mood Among Employees
    Media information NO. 438/2019 Further improvement in mood among employees • 2019 Stimmungsbarometer (opinion barometer): Improvements in culture, integrity and cooperation • Kilian: “We are on the right track with our corporate and leadership culture” Wolfsburg, December 11, 2019. Volkswagen employees see the company on the right track as regards cooperation, leadership and integrity. This is the conclusion drawn from the most recent Volkswagen Stimmungsbarometer (opinion barometer), an employee survey that regularly gives employees throughout the company the opportunity to express their views on topics such as leadership, cooperation, integrity and culture while retaining their anonymity. The survey was conducted for the eleventh time in 2019 over a period of several weeks in October and November, and the results for Volkswagen AG’s German plants are now available. Board Member for Human Resources Gunnar Kilian said: “The results of this year’s opinion barometer confirm that Volkswagen employees have embraced our realignment. That encourages us to drive cultural change further forward and maintain the pace at which we are implementing our strategy. In other words: We will continue our intensive efforts to improve, and focus in particular on issues such as integrity and compliance, leadership and cooperation.” Kilian noted that many programs and actions had been initiated in the last two years and the positive effects were now emerging: “I am especially pleased that our employees see improvements in the areas of corporate and leadership culture as well as integrity and cooperation. That is not only excellent testimony, but also an incentive to improve even further.” The survey phase and the presentation of the results are always the first stage in the Volkswagen opinion barometer.

  • Optimal Stock–Enhancement of a Spatially Distributed Renewable Resource
    ID: 188227 First Author: Thorsten Upmann, Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity at the University of Oldenburg Title: Optimal Stock-Enhancement of a Spatially Distributed Renewable Resource Optimal Stock–Enhancement of a Spatially Distributed Renewable Resource Thorsten Upmann∗ Hannes Uecker† Liv Hammann† Bernd Blasius‡ 2nd November, 2020 Abstract: We study the economic management of a renewable resource, the stock of which is spatially distributed and moves over a discrete or continuous spatial domain. In contrast to standard harvesting models where the agent can control the take-out from the stock, we consider the case of optimal stock enhancement. In other words, we model an agent who is, either because of ecological concerns or because of economic incentives, interested in the conservation and enhancement of the abundance of the resource, and who may foster its growth by some costly stock–enhancement activity (e.g., cultivation, breeding, fertilizing, or nourishment). By investigating the optimal control problem with infinite time horizon in both spatially discrete and spatially continuous (1D and 2D) domains, we show that the optimal stock–enhancement policy may feature spatially heterogeneous (or patterned) steady states. We numerically compute the global bifurcation structure and optimal time-dependent paths to govern the system from some initial state to a patterned optimal steady state. Our findings extend the previous results on patterned optimal control to a class of ecological systems with important ecological applications, such as the optimal design of restoration areas. Keywords: Breeding, farming and cultivation; spatial modelling; spatial migration; optimal control theory; patterned optimal steady states; optimal diffusion–induced instability JEL classification: Q20, Q22, C61 Acknowledgements: We thank Hannes de Witt for valuable technical support.

  • The Spatial and Temporal Diffusion of Agricultural Land Prices
    The Spatial and Temporal Diffusion of Agricultural Land Prices M. Ritter; X. Yang; M. Odening Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Department of Agricultural Economics, Germany Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract: In the last decade, many parts of the world experienced severe increases in agricultural land prices. This price surge, however, did not take place evenly in space and time. To better understand the spatial and temporal behavior of land prices, we employ a price diffusion model that combines features of market integration models and spatial econometric models. An application of this model to farmland prices in Germany shows that prices on a county-level are cointegrated. Apart from convergence towards a long- run equilibrium, we find that price transmission also proceeds through short-term adjustments caused by neighboring regions. Acknowledegment: Financial support from the China Scholarship Council (CSC NO.201406990006) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) through Research Unit 2569 “Agricultural Land Markets – Efficiency and Regulation” is gratefully acknowledged. The authors also thank Oberer Gutachterausschuss für Grundstückswerte in Niedersachsen (P. Ache) for providing the data used in the analysis.
