Fairy Tales in the Modern(ist) World: Gerhart Hauptmann’s Bahnwärter Thiel and Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach’s Das Gemeindekind

This is a pre-print of the published article.Despite the dark impulses that drive many fairy tales, popular nineteenth-century collections were animated by modern optimism. This article contends that two 1887 novellas, Gerhart Hauptmann’s Bahnwärter Thiel and Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach’s Das Gemeindekind, demonstrate what happened to this optimism and the fairy tale that embodied it at the inception of twentieth-century modernity. It shows how they use fairy-tale frameworks to express a proto-Naturalist worldview and draws out the affinities that make this improbable combination fruitful: foremost, a common concern with poverty and its consequences. Both novellas reject the fairy tale’s miraculous resolution of these problems and, with it, the modern optimism it expresses. At the same time, each demonstrates the continuities underlying the shift to modernism. While Hauptmann’s story retains the fairy tale’s dream of domestic sanctuary and its belief in overwhelming supernatural powers, Ebner-Eschenbach’s preserves a remnant of humanist hope

The Challenge of Mütterliteratur: Gender, Generation, and the Genres of German Cultural Memory

This article first appeared in GERMAN STUDIES REVIEW, 41.1 (2018): 41–59.Current models of German postwar memory culture often contrast an accusatory second-generation Väterliteratur with a more self-reflexive third-generation family writing. This article demonstrates that reading second-generation books about mothers in the context of historical cultural memory undermines this distinction. Ingeborg Drewitz’s Gestern war heute (1978), Barbara Bronnen’s Die Tochter (1982), and Helga Novak’s Die Eisheiligen (1979) share key features with the post-Wende “new family novel” typified in recent scholarship. These similarities suggest that changing enactments of gender and cultural memory have allowed previously feminized experiences and memory practices to evolve into the basis for a national memory culture

Los valores ambientales en los procesos educativos: realidades y desafíos

En este artículo se aborda la relación de la educación ambiental con la ética y los valores, toda vez que se trata de un campo emergente íntimamente vinculado con la formación cívica y ciudadana. En una primera parte, se describe al Ambientalismo como un inédito movimiento social de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, en su pluralidad discursiva de lucha política con sus correspondientes propuestas pedagógicas y fuerte carga valoral, así como se proporcionan coordenadas básicas para entender los principales rasgos del pensamiento ambientalista y sus reivindicaciones. En una segunda parte, se discute la relación de este pensamiento con la dimensión axiológica en el contexto de la crisis estructural y generalizada actual y se revisan algunos principios básicos para establecer articulaciones éticas con los procesos educativos en general y especialmente con la educación ambiental

RESPONSABILIDAD Y COMPROMISO SOCIAL: DESAFÍOS EDUCATIVOS EN UNA SOCIEDAD GLOBAL-LOCAL

El objetivo de esta ponencia es sustentar porqué la responsabilidad y el compromiso social se tornan ineludibles ética, educativa, política y vitalmente, frente a las condiciones de nuestra sociedad global-local. En esta ocasión, hemos procedido según el enfoque teórico y metodológico del análisis crítico-social desde una perspectiva de la complejidad. Según nuestra interpretación, a la par del agravamiento de la crisis actual, emergen necesidades de carácter ético que se articulan estrechamente con la tarea educativa, lo cual, si se ofrece una formación en la responsabilidad y el compromiso social contribuiría a restituir la credibilidad en las instituciones de educación; a su vez, supone para las mismas la recuperación de sus vínculos críticos con la sociedad y el Estado. Por último, consideramos que esto forma parte de los desafíos contemporáneos para la educación

Mediators, Metabolites and Atypical Immune Cells in Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains, despite intense research, the most common cause of death world-wide. The main underlying cause of CVD is atherosclerosis, which is characterised by chronic inflammation. CVD and atherosclerosis have a complex aetiology, which necessitates research into multiple areas in order to gain insight into the pathogenesis and find novel markers that could aid in identifying individuals at risk. In this thesis, I have investigated mediators, metabolites and atypical immune cells and how they affect atherosclerosis and risk of coronary events. To this end we have used both mouse models and a clinical cohort.In Paper I we investigated associations between the leukocyte guiding chemokines CCL21 and CCL19 and incident coronary events in the general population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. We found that high plasma levels of CCL21, but not CCL19, had an independent association to incident coronary events. High levels of CCL19 were on the other hand associated with both incident heart failure and mortality.In Paper II we investigated the effect of drinking water supplementation with α-ketoglutarate or glutamine on atherosclerosis development and plaque composition. Our main finding was that glutamine, an important fuel source for immune cells, caused increased development of atherosclerosis in male mice. These mice also had larger accumulation of cells, including neutrophils, in the adventitia surrounding the aorta.In Paper III we investigated CD21low age-associated B cells (ABCs), previously identified in atherosclerotic plaques. We evaluated their clonality, differentiation potential and effect on atherosclerosis development. In humans we investigated if CD21low ABCs were associated to incident coronary events. We found that CD21low ABCs were clonally expanded and could differentiate into plasma cells in vivo. CD21low ABCs also aggravated murine atherosclerosis and high numbers of circulating CD21low ABCs were associated with incident coronary events in humans.In Paper IV we investigated if, as suggested by animal studies, invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells have an association to incident coronary events in humans. However, high numbers of these lipid-specific cells did not have an association to incident coronary events. Furthermore, we identified a subpopulation of iNKT cells that were CD4-CD8- which had an independent, inverse association to incident coronary events.In conclusion, this thesis illustrates the multifaceted contributions of inflammatory mediators and cells in CVD and atherosclerosis, while also providing novel insights into this important research field

THE EFFECTS OF FOOTBALL COACHES’ STAI ANXIETY LEVEL ON PROBLEM SOLVING SKILL

This study aim of the examination relationship between anxiety and problem solving skills who participated to the study coaches of the football. 95 volunteers football coach participated to the study where were Bursa and Canakkale provinence. To obtain trait anxiety state data of tranis the 20-item developed by Beck Traiy Anxiety State Inventory(TASI) were used. Problem Solving Skills (PSS) data, developed by Heppner and Petersen (1982) and to the Turkish version adopted by Sahin and Heppner (1993) 35-item inventory problem solving skills are used. The data analyses in SPSS 20.00, Descriptive Statistic, T-test, One-Way Anova test and Correlation (r statistic) were used. The coaches who participated in the study TASI average x = 1.96 ± 0.27, PSS average x = 2.92 ± 0.63. When the time to coaching the coaches who participated in the study, 33 coaches of 1-9 years, 40 coaches of 10-19 years and 22 coaches 20 years and over. The coaches of the TASI and PSS mean scores did not change significantly compared to the working time in the profession and marital status variables, according to the education level was found to be significantly changed. The coaches between TASI and PSS average score were found to be positive and significantly correlation.  Article visualizations

PENGUKURAN KINERJA BPRS BERDASARKAN PERSPEKTIF TAUHIDY STRING RELATION (TSR) (Studi Kasus Pada PT BPRS Muamalat Harkat Bengkulu)

Studi mengenai manajemen atau pengelolaan kinerja suatu institusi/organisasi bisnis, telah banyak dikaji dalam berbagai riset/penelitian Terutama pengukuran kinerja pada sektor industri keuangan mikro dengan berbagai macam derivasi/turunannya yang sesuai dengan prinsip prinsip ajaran agama Islam, masih belum banyak dikaji dan dikembangkan oleh kaum Muslim. Bank Pembiayaan Rakyat Syariah (BPRS) merupakan lembaga keuangan yang bergerak dalam pelayanan keuangan masyarakat, berbasis prinsip syariah. Berdasarkan perspektif TSR, dimana setiap variabel telah mengalami proses knowledge induced-(q), dan Wellbeing selalu sebagai dependent variable. Pada prinsipnya penerapan Pengukuran Kinerja BPRS Muamalat Harkat Bengkulu dengan menggunakan  perspektif atau pendekatan metodologi Tawhidy String Relation (TSR), dimana ukuran “Moralitas”, “Etika” dan “Nilai nilai Sosial” (MEN).Penelitian ini menggunakan data primer dan sekunder melalui studi kepustakaan, interviewed para pelaku, observasi, kuesioner dan data sekunder indikator BPRS, Bengkulu. Secara umum hasil pengukuran nilai (θ) sangat baik, mendekati nilai 4 dengan skala Likert(5). Nilai terbesar pada variabel aspek komunitas 3,91 dan terendah pada aspek keberlanjutan bisnis 3,83. Penjelasan yang umum BPRS memang harus dekat dengan komunitas atau warga setempat. Dan kondisi terlemah adalah tentang keberlanjutan bisnis, sebagaimana bisnis ukuran kecil pada umumnya.Nilai (θ) terkecil juga ditunjukan pada nilai pencapaian rasional yang paling kecil yaitu hanya mencapai 50. Pertumbuhan keuntungan sangat tinggi, mencapai 39%, sedangkan NPF juga sangat tinggi, hal ini mengindikasikan suatu kebijakan yang kurang cocok. Seolah shareholders menginginkan laba yang tinggi, dengan tidak mencadangkan kerugian atas NPF yang juga tinggi. Akibatnya secara logis keberlanjutan usaha menjadi dipertaruhkan
