Conceptos de historiografía musical en torno al Mediterráneo: La larga historia de la "longue durée"

Das Mittelmeer als historischer Raum diente in der ersen Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts als Paradigma für bahnbrechende historiographische Experimente, die den Fokus vom Einzelereignis hin zu ausgedehnten historischen Prozessen überführten. Die aus der Annalen-Schule stammende Prägung der "Longue durée" durch Fernand Braudel führte zu einem wahren Paradigmenwechsel. Dieser Vortrag diskutiert die heutigen Perspektiven auf das Mittelmeer als Raum und die Bedeutung bzw. fehlenden Bedeutung, die der Musik bei der Definition des MIttelmeers als Studienobjekt durch die allgemeine Geschichte beigemessen wurde.

Thoraxschmerzen bei Kindern und Jugendlichen - das Herz?

Chest pain in children and adolescents is a frequent observation, although potentially relevant disease is rather rare and then found in situations with acute presentation. In children with an inflammatory/infectious clinical context the differential diagnosis is oesophagitis, pleuropneumonia or pericarditis. Potentially dangerous complications may be found in youth with predisposing conditions for aortic dissection, pneumothorax or pulmonary embolism, or even in rare instances for an acute coronary complication. In these cases aggressive diagnostic work-up is mandatory. In the frequent elective outpatient evaluation of teenagers with long-lasting episodes of chest pain, relevant underlying cardiovascular disease only rarely can be found as the cause. In the elective outpatient evaluation for chest pain, usually patient history and clinical examination may be enough to track the problem, the main role of the physician is to provide reassurance with minimal but appropriate testing.

From «Pflantz-Gart» to «Stammregister». On the history of knowledge of fruit cultivation in the canton of Bern

Among the efforts for the improvement of agricultural productivity, the cultivation of useful plants is particularly at the center of the Economic Enlightenment. In contrast to fodder and textile plants, cereals and potatoes, fruit trees are not included among its favoured subjects. This may be considered as astonishing in view of the significance that fruit has acquired in the contemporary diet. Be that as it may, efforts to improve fruit cultivation go back to even before the classical period of the Economic Enlightenment. The example of Bern in particular is suited to such an analysis over the Longue durée that covers the time from Daniel Rhagor’s «Pflantz-Gart» (1639) to the «Register of varieties of excellent species of pome fruits for the canton of Bern» (Stammregister, 1865). From the perspective of the history of knowledge, the connections between scholarly knowledge and local experience on the one hand and the changing actors in these knowledge systems on the other hand are of special interest here
