Am 19. und 20. Mai 2014 fand an der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin ein Kolloquium zum Thema ""Widerstand im Dritten Reich"" statt. Die Staatsbibliothek besitzt wertvolle und bedeutende Dokumente und Forschungsquellen zu dieser Thematik, an erster Stelle den Nachlass Dietrich Bonhoeffers, aber auch die Nachlässe von Persönlichkeiten, die sich dem ""Dritten Reich"" mehr oder weniger anpassten, wie Gerhart Hauptmann, Wilhelm Furtwängler und Gustaf Gr|ndgens, sowie einen beachtlichen Bestand an Tarnschriften aus der NS-Zeit. Der Band enthält die anlässlich dieses Symposiums entstandenen Beiträge herausragender Zeitgeschichtler zu Themen wie ""Der Widerstand als Hochverrat"", ""Der kommunistische Widerstand"", ""Der christliche Widerstand"", ""Die Zukunft des Gedenkens an den Widerstand"" und ""Die Emigration als Element des Widerstandes"", ausserdem Biographisches zu Sophie Scholl und der ""Weissen Rose"" sowie zu Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Everyday life requires humans to move through the environment, while completing crucial tasks such as retrieving nourishment, avoiding perils or controlling motor vehicles. Success in these tasks largely relies in a correct perception of self-motion, i.e. the continuous estimation of one?s body position and its derivatives with respect to the world. The processes underlying self-motion perception have fascinated neuroscientists for more than a century and large bodies of neural, behavioural and physiological studies have been conducted to discover how the central nervous system integrates available sensory information to create an internal representation of the physical motion. The goal of this PhD thesis is to extend current knowledge on self-motion perception by focusing on conditions that closely resemble typical aspects of everyday life. In the works conducted within this thesis, I isolate different components typical of everyday life motion and employ psychophysical methodologies to systematically investigate their effect on human self-motion sensitivity. Particular attention is dedicated to the human ability to discriminate between motions of different intensity. How this is achieved has been a fundamental question in the study of perception since the seminal works of Weber and Fechner. When tested over wide ranges of rotations and translations, participants' sensitivity (i.e. their ability to detect motion changes) is found to decrease with increasing motion intensities, revealing a nonlinearity in the perception of self-motion that is not present at the level of ocular reflexes or in neural responses of sensory afferents. The relationship between the stimulus intensity and the smallest intensity change perceivable by the participants can be mathematically described by a power law, regardless on the sensory modality investigated (visual or inertial) and on whether visual and inertial cues were presented alone or congruently combined, such as during natural movements. Individual perceptual law parameters were fit based on experimental data for upward and downward translations and yaw rotations based on visual-only, inertial-only and combined visual-inertial motion cues. Besides wide ranges of motion intensities, everyday life scenarios also provide complex motion patterns involving combinations of rotational and translational motion, visual and inertial sensory cues and physical and mental workload. The question of how different combinations of these factors affect motion sensitivity was experimentally addressed within the framework of driving simulation and revealed that sensitivity might strongly decrease in more realistic conditions, where participants do not only focus on perceiving a 'simple' motion stimulus (e.g. a sinusoidal profile at a specific frequency) but are, instead, actively engaged in a dynamic driving simulation. Applied benefits of the present thesis include advances in the field of vehicle motion simulation, where knowledge on human self-motion perception supports the development of state-of-the-art algorithms to control simulator motion. This allows for reproducing, within a safe and controlled environment, driving or flying experiences that are perceptually realistic to the user. Furthermore, the present work will guide future research into the neural basis of perception and action.

Im Rahmen der Skulptur der romischen Kaiserzeit in Kleinasien haben die Sarkophage eine ganz besondere Bedeutung. Es ist allerdings sehr schwierig, sich einen Uberblick zu verschaffen, da sie uberaus zahlreich erhalten sind, viel Material nicht publiziert und dazu wahrscheinlich vieles in Magazinen unzuganglich und die Situation somit sehr kompliziert ist. Um einen Zugang zu erleichtern, ist die wichtigste neuere Literatur im Anhang in einer Liste zusammengestellt...

Byzantine seals at the Istanbul Archaeological Museums were published by Ebersolt about a century ago and unfortunately it provides limited information. In 2007 V. Bulgurlu competed and published her dissertation on 350 of them. Since then this is the first comprehensive work on the collection. The first section on the imperial seals presents 61 examples; second chapter on central administration 255 examples, the third chapter on provincial administration presents 132 seals; fourth chapter on palatine functions presents 34; fifth chapter on dignitaries 255 seals; sixth chapter on the Church presents 152; seventh chapter on patronymics 125 seals; eighth chapter on prenoms 228 examples; ninth chapter on anonymous examples presents 34; tenth chapter on iconographic examples presents 88 seals; eleventh chapter on uncertain seals presents 152 examples. The work is in French but the introduction, main texts in ch. 3 and glossary are also given in Turkish. Each seal is illustrated with b/w images on both sides.

There are over five thousand weights from the Suna and Inan Kirac Foundation Collection at the Pera Museum, ranging in date from the Ancient Near Eastern Civilizations, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman periods. This large collection will be published in a number of separate volumes as part of the series of Corpus Ponderum Antiquorum et Islamicorum. The present catalogue is the first volume, covering 635 Greek and Roman weights. The Roman truncated spheres, however, were excluded from the present catalogue and will be included in the second volume, which will cover the Late Roman and Byzantine weights. The majority of the weights in the Suna and Inan Kirac Foundation Collection were acquired over a period of thirty years by Inan Kirac through various local and international auctions and collectors. The catalogue is arranged in two sections: the first covers weights in the Greek standard, and the second, weights in the Roman standard. 650 gr. Vols. 1 and 2 can also be supplied. Editors: Translator: 151 pages.

This exhibition takes its name from the famous aphorism by Hippocrates and examines the art and practice of healing in Byzantium from Roman times to the late Byzantine period. Curated by Dr. Brigitte Pitarakis, Life Is Short, Art Long examines faith, magic, and rational medicine as methods of healing. It traces the “art of healing” from the foundations laid by Apollo and Asklepios, healers of antiquity, and Hippocrates and Dioscorides, the founders of rational medicine and also examines the roles of the physician saints. Among the other topics covered and objects on display are icons, reliquaries, and amulets, marble carvings, medical equipment, plants and herbs, medical and botanical manuscripts, and the centers of healing and miracle in Istanbul. The exhibition reveals that the belief that illnesses were primarily caused by demons co-existed alongside a rational understanding of health and medicine based on the teachings of Hippocrates. The “art of healing” was practiced by p
