Das Buch beleuchtet neue Mobilitätslösungen aus rechtlicher Perspektive. Der Bedarf nach neuen Mobilitätskonzepten im urbanen Raum besteht heute mehr denn je, etwa um die Feinstaubbelastung und den CO2-Ausstoß in Kommunen zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig dem massiven (auch pandemiebedingten) Anstieg des Pakettransports gerecht zu werden. Am Beispiel der LastMileTram wird der Ansatz verfolgt, den Pakettransport auf die Schiene zu verlegen. Hierzu sollen freie Kapazitäten der städtischen Straßenbahnen genutzt und mit der Belieferung durch Lastenräder kombiniert werden. Im Rahmen des Projekts wurden zahlreiche rechtliche Herausforderungen der „Güterstraßenbahn“ identifiziert. Diese werden in diesem Buch vorgestellt. Die rechtliche Analyse umfasst sowohl europarechtliche als auch nationale öffentlich-rechtliche Aspekte. Zudem werden die zivilrechtlichen Haftungsverhältnisse begutachtet. Darüber hinaus werden Anregungen zur Reformierung der Gesetzeslage erörtert.

The book aims to highlight the challenges faced by small states located in zones of geopolitical instability. Drawing on Saul P. Cohen's theoretical concept of the shatter belt, it discusses a geopolitical region characterized by significant instability, owing especially to the influence of neighbouring powers. The book defines the challenges related to the geopolitical position of Baltic Europe and describes them as manifestations of the shatter belt. It details the historical conditions of the small Baltic states: Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, with reference to their geopolitical position within the Russian sphere of influence and after the collapse of the USSR. This study also focuses on the exploitation of national minorities as one the main challenges to the national security of the Baltic states. As a pioneering study on the role of small states as peacekeepers, allies, and members of international organizations, this book will be a valuable resource for students and doctoral candidates in international relations, geopolitics, and political geography. It will also be useful to experts, journalists, and policymakers.

Die erste Auflage dieses Buches hat sich einen Platz bei den Ärzten erworben, die das neuroradiologisch gewonnene Bild bei Hirnkrankheiten nicht nur mit seinen Abweichungen erfassen und beschreiben, sondern auch seine Genese verstehen wollten. Diese Form der Darstellung hatte im In-und Ausland viele Freunde gefunden und zahlreiche Schemata sind inzwischen in Lehr-und Hand bücher übernommen worden. Jedoch ist die erste Auflage im Laufe der Zeit durch die rasche Weiterentwicklung der Neuroradiologie überholt. Die Verfas ser, die noch selbst als Kliniker neuroradiologisch gearbeitet hatten, mußten dieser Entwicklung Rechnung tragen. Es wurden zwei hauptberuflich arbeitende Neuroradiologen zur Erweiterung und Überarbeitung der Themen hinzuge beten. Einige Kapitel, wie die Hirnpunktion und der Farbversuch, haben in zwischen ihre Bedeutung verloren und wurden fortgelassen. Die Szintigraphie, die Hirndurchblutungsmessung und die in der Entwicklung begriffene Computer Tomographie wurden nicht abgehandelt, da sie außerhalb des hier gesteckten Rahmens der neuroradiologischen Diagnostik liegen. Trotz mancher Anregun gen wurde auch weiter bewußt auf die Besprechung des Nativbildes von Schädel und Wirbelsäule verzichtet, sie hätten den Rahmen dieser Bearbeitung gesprengt. Andererseits mußte die Myelographie und die neu entstandene radiologische Pathologie der cerebrovaskulären Störungen mitberücksichtigt werden. Die übrigen Kapitel wurden dem heutigen Stand angepaßt. Die Bilder wurden großenteils erneuert. Doch hat sich an der Grundlinie der Darstellung nichts geändert. Das Buch soll auch in seiner vorliegenden Form eine Einführung in die Besonderheiten der neuroradiologischen Diagnostik intrakranialer und spinaler Erkrankungen sein, die dieErgebnisse auch dem Kliniker verständlich machen können.

Främmande inflytande på svenska språket Konferensen Svenska språkets historia hölls för sextonde gången i Lund i november 2021. Det var tredje gången konferensen avhölls i Lund. Konferensen hade p.g.a. pandemin blivit uppskjuten inte mindre än två gånger, men när den äntligen hölls var den välbesökt av många konferenshungriga språkhistoriker. Tema för konferensen var Främmande inflytande på talad och skriven svenska, och för detta syfte hade vi tre plenarföredragshållare: Roger Andersson, Charlotta af Hällström-Reijonen samt Stefan Mähl. Dessa talade om latinskt inflytande, språkmöten i Finland respektive lågtyska och lågtyskt inflytande på svenskan. Dessa tre föredrag inleder denna konferensvolym. Konferensen var emellertid öppen även för föredrag utanför temat, och sammanlagt hölls ett fyrtital sektionsföredrag. Som vanligt har flera av föredragshållarna valt att inte skicka in ett artikelbidrag, eller i något fall dra tillbaka inskickade bidrag. Kanske är denna andel större denna gång p.g.a. att konferensen fick skjutas upp 1 ½ år. I denna volym presenteras utöver plenarföredragen 15 av sektionsföredrag, och de står i bokstavsordning efter plenarföredragen. Konferensen bekostades till största delen av Birgit Rausing Language Programme, och denna donation har också bekostat merparten av utgivningen av denna bok. När konferensen fick skjutas upp bistod Svenska Akademien beredvilligt med ett bidrag till fördyringarna av konferensen. Boken har genomgått bedömning av bidragen, och redigeringen har ombesörjts av Lars-Olof Delsing och Bo-A. Wendt i Lund.

The outrageously funny and painfully relatable satire of an aspiring artist and millennial culture. Walter Scott s Wendy comics have become a critical sensation, with rave reviews in The New Yorker and the Guardian, and an appearance in the Best American Comics anthology. Learn Wendy s origin story as Scott hilariously plumbs millennial culture, creative ennui, and the nepotism of the art world s institutions. Wendy s an aspiring artist in a party city, and she s in a rut. She spends her time snorting MDMA in gallery bathrooms and watching Nurse Jackie reruns on her laptop while hungover. So when she s accepted into the prestigious Flojo Island residency, Wendy vows to buckle down and get working. But during the remote, woodsy residency, Wendy and her collaborator/BFF Winona put on a performance piece that becomes the centre of an art world controversy, and so Wendy returns to Montreal, getting a job in a coffee shop to make ends meet. With Wendy, Scott launches the Wendyverse, brimming with painfully relatable characters like the back-stabbing frenemyTina, the name-dropping Paloma, the cool drummer Wendy obsesses over, Jeff, and of course, our treasured Wendy, the hot mess we can t live without. In blunt, laughout-loud funny vignettes with perfect punchlines, Scott illuminates the opacity of artspeak and the ceaseless anxieties plaguing a largely privileged generation.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the first woman playwright to win a Tony Award, Wendy Wasserstein was a Broadway luminary. But with her high-pitched giggle and unkempt curls, she projected an image of warmth and familiarity. Everyone knew Wendy Wasserstein. Or thought they did. In Wendy and the Lost Boys, Salamon delicately pieces together the many fractured narratives of Wendy's life--the stories (often contradictory) that she shared amongst friends and family, the half truths of her plays and essays, the confessions and camouflage present even in her own journal writing--to reveal Wendy's most expertly crafted character: herself. Born in Brooklyn on October 18, 1950 to Polish Jewish immigrant parents, Wendy was the youngest of Lola and Morris Wasserstein's five children. Her mother had big dreams for her children, and they didn't disappoint: Sandra, Wendy's glamorous sister, became a high-ranking corporate executive at a time when Fortune 500 companies were an impenetrable boys club. Their brother Bruce became a billionaire superstar of the investment banking world. Yet behind the family's remarkable success was a fiercely guarded world of private tragedies.Wendy perfected the family art of secrecy while cultivating a densely populated inner circle. Her long time friends included theater elite such as playwright Christopher Durang, Lincoln Center Artistic Director Andr Bishop, New York Times theater critic Frank Rich, the many women of the theater for whom she served as both mentor and ally, and countless others. Yet almost no one knew that Wendy was pregnant when, at age forty-eight, she was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital to deliver Lucy Jane three months premature. The paternity of her daughter remains a mystery. At the time of Wendy's tragically early death less than six years later, very few were aware that she was gravely ill. The cherished confidante to so many, Wendy privately endured her greatest heartbreaks alone. At once a moving portrait of an uncommon woman, and a nuanced study of the generation she came to represent, Wendy and The Lost Boys uncovers the magic of Wendy's work. A daughter of the 1950s, an artist that came of age during the freewheeling 1970s, a power woman in 1980s New York, and a single mother at the turn of the century, Wendy's very life spoke to the tensions of an era of great change, for women in particular. Salamon brings each distinct moment to vibrant life, always returning to Wendy's works--The Heidi Chronicles and others--to show her in the free space of the theater. Here Wendy spoke in the most intimate of terms about everything that matters most: family and love, dreams and devastation. And that is the Wendy of Neverland, the Wendy who will never grow old.
