This essay examines select visual representations of refugees and migrants as embodied subjects in photography, art, and video. It focuses on American asylum politics and explores the questions of free movement, the right to have rights, and the ethics and efficacy of border walls. I argue that the catastrophe of global forced displacement makes…[Read more]

Patient-centered care evolves around proper coordination between healthcare providers in consultation with patient needs. Oftentimes, children play a passive role in their health care because of the controversy around age and lack of consensual abilities. The impact of engaging children early on to empower decision-making skills has been proven to…[Read more]

Seit fast vier Monaten herrscht Krieg in der Ukraine. Ein Blick in die Geschichte zeigt, warum Putin glaubt, dem Land die Eigenstaatlichkeit absprechen zu können – und weshalb sein Vorhaben nur scheitern kann.

It is known that each natural number greater than 1 can be expressed as a unique product of prime numbers, namely the prime factorization. For example, 84=2×2×3×7. By summing up all prime factors of 84, we obtain 2+2+3+7=14. Since 14=2×7, we further sum up all prime factors of 14 to obtain 2+7=9. Since 9=3×3 and 3+3=6, we can continue the same…[Read more]

The spread of the Omicron variant this winter was met with renewed calls for the UK Government to fund the arts and culture through the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic and beyond. ‘We are in crisis mode’, Nicolas Hytner, former artistic director of the National Theatre, told the BBC’s Newsnight programme. ‘We need to see short-term finance, we need to see loa…[Read more]

Politikwissenschaftler und Sozialphilosoph Karsten Schubert beleuchtet den Zusammenhang von Sexualität und schwuler Politik und fragt, welche Art von Politik in welcher Situation der HIV-Pandemie begünstigt beziehungsweise verhindert wurde. Dazu erläutert er zwei Thesen

Research about Sino-foreign cultural interactions during the last decades of the Qing Empire pays much attention to the extremely dense and complex relations between Japan and China. Against this backdrop, historians have tended to neglect that the Chinese “constitutional preparation” of the years 1905-06 was concomitant to the promulgation of con…[Read more]

This article reconstructs two modes of parliamentary representation of (post-)imperial diversity in early twentieth-century China. One model foresaw a differentiated representation of the borderlands in the nascent parliamentary institutions, using upper house seats to garner loyalty from the nobility at the same time as it denied electoral…[Read more]

A spectrophotometric procedure has been developed for determination of hydrocarbons, vegetable oils, animal fats, waxes, soaps, greases and related oily organic matter in aqueous phase. The water sample is acidified to a low pH (less than or equal to 2) and extracted with trichloroethane (methyl chloroform). Under controlled conditions, the oil…[Read more]

A spectrophotometric procedure has been developed for determination of oil and grease in aqueous phase. The water sample is acidified to a low pH (less than or equal to 2) and extracted with 1,1,2-trichloro-l,2,2-trifluoroethane (Freon 113, or CFC 113). Under controlled conditions, the oil and grease are extractable into a selected organic…[Read more]
