Ingolstadt on the move - border crossings at the beginning of the Reformation
Argula von Grumbach, née von Stauff, dared to enter public space as a woman. By defending the young Magister Arsacius Seehofer, who was influenced by Lutheran ideas, she challenged not only the scholars of the University of Ingolstadt, but the entire Catholic establishment. The conference volume brings together essays that deal with the first Reformation writer as well as with her family and other female "border crossers". But it also opens numerous windows into an extremely exciting, energetic time, into...

Islamic banking in Germany
In the field of business administration, dealing with aspects of Islamic banking has a long tradition. This naturally applies in particular to banking management theory, but researchers in the field of international business have also dealt with the topic in different ways. Despite the long study of the subject in business administration, there are still a number of research gaps, and new questions have arisen, above all as a result of the significant increase in the internationalization of Islamic banking...

Islamism in Chechnya
Especially in Germany, where the conversation about terror and Islamist extremism is part of everyday media life, well-founded works on Islamism in the northern Caucasus based on comprehensive knowledge of sources are in demand, but hardly available - the public discourse is essentially based on obvious stereotypes and unscientific generalization. The young scientist Christian Paul Osthold is trying to overcome this desideratum. Osthold presents the genesis of the Islamist-tinged separatist movements in Chechnya as a dynamic and cumulative process; Based...

We are pleased that some of the topics of the previous competitions and the works submitted have now gained importance far beyond Hesse. With various contributions to the questions we...

Cold gas spraying of photocatalytically active titanium dioxide coatings
A water pipe that purifies its contents as it flows? A coating that breaks down air pollutants as they flow by? A surface that disinfects itself and keeps itself clean? What sounds like science fiction becomes possible with the photocatalyst titanium dioxide. Under UV light, titanium dioxide is able to purify air and water, kill bacteria on its surface and break down fats. Although these properties have been known since the 1970s, the breakthrough of photocatalytically active titanium dioxide is...

Cologne in the First World War. Changes in the city and the life of the citizens 1914-1918
"There is no end to the making of many books!" This quote from Ecclesiastes 12 could be used to comment on the appearance of new literature on Cologne during World War II. However, it does not apply to the time of the First World War. A detailed description of this part of Cologne's history has so far been missing - although a book about Düsseldorf during the First World War was already available in 1927. This study aims to fill...

Compensating wage differentials in segmented labor markets
More than 200 years have passed since Adam Smith described the theory of compensating wage differentials. Although theory offers a simple yet compelling explanation for wages associated with job characteristics, the empirical evidence is conflicting. So why do workers with disadvantageous working conditions earn less and not more? The theory of compensating wage differentials assumes a perfect labor market, which is not to be found in reality. The approach presented is to remove some of the assumptions. This results in...

Cultural transfer in the Carpathian arc
The fate of an individual is often not given enough attention in the historical context, often due to a lack of sources. How did Transylvanian Saxons who had decided to become teachers and pastors perceive their personal development? What impression did the happy and sad events of both their own lives and of world history make on them? A family book that was found in October 2005 in almost unedited condition provides answers to these questions in biographies from the...

Artistic freedom!? Oscar Wilde's autonomy of the beautiful based on Immanuel Kant
In Wilde's works, especially the art-theoretical essays, aptly summarized under the title Intentions, his desire for tolerance and artistic freedom runs through. This claim to autonomy for the art sphere is based on philosophical studies written a century earlier by Immanuel Kant in his Critique of Judgment. Kant analyzes the specificity of aesthetic experience and distinguishes it from theoretical knowledge and morality, emphasizing its freedom from purpose and thus paving the way for the autonomy of the beautiful. This final...

Cargo fraud and embezzlement in road transport in Germany
Road freight transport is becoming more and more the focus of criminals. The procedures are becoming more and more well thought out. A special type of theft of goods is fraud. There is currently only little empirical knowledge about the extent of cargo fraud and embezzlement in Germany. This is where the survey of transport and insurance companies comes in, with information from other parties such as police authorities, detective agencies and freight exchange operators also being included. Based on...

Noise in (secondary school) lessons
According to the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA), around 5 million people in Germany are exposed to harmful noise at their workplace, which in many cases leads to secondary diseases. But would we also think of the profession of a teacher with such a statement? The maximum values recommended for mental activity according to DIN are 35 to 45 dB(A); in fact, noise levels of up to 80 dB were measured in school classes. However, these physical measured values...

Laser-based investigation of flame-wall interaction
The interaction of flames and combustion chamber walls occurs in almost all common technical combustion systems. Incomplete combustion leads to an increased formation of pollutants in the area close to the wall. Current developments to increase the efficiency of internal combustion engines and aircraft engines are often based on reducing combustion chambers while maintaining or increasing performance. The more compact combustion chambers increase the surface-to-volume ratio, so that the flame-wall interaction will become more important in future combustion system developments....
