Der Prediger vom weißen Berg : Zur Rezeption der besseren Gerechtigkeit aus Mt 5 in Martin Luthers Predigtüberlieferung 1522 1546.

The purpose of this study is to examine the reception of Matthew 5 in Martin Luther s sermons; in other words to investigate how Luther interprets and applies Jesus teaching of the better righteousness and the law in Mt 5. The study applies the reception-historical approach and contributes to the history of effects and the history of interpretation in New Testament exegesis. The study shows that Luther understands the better righteousness of Mt 5 as good works and fulfillment of the law. Luther s interpretation coheres with the intention of the Evangelist, even if Luther s overall concept of righteousness is foreign to Matthew. In Luther s view righteousness is twofold: The greater righteousness of Mt 5 is the second and the actual righteousness (iustitia activa), which follows the first and the foreign righteousness (iustitia passiva). The first righteousness (faith) is for Luther the work of God, while the second righteousness (good works) is co-operation between a Christian and God. In this co-operation the law, as it is taught by Jesus, is not the opposite of the gospel, but the gospel itself in the sense of Christ as an example . The task of the law is to show the dependence of a Christian on God and to help one to love and to serve one s neighbour (brothers as well as enemies) properly. The study underlines a feature in Luther s thinking that has received little attention in Lutheran theology: Luther insists on preaching the law to Christians. In his view Mt 5 is directed to all Christians and particularly to pastors, for whom Jesus here gives an example of how to preach the law. Luther believes similarly to Matthew that Jesus reveals the real meaning of Mosaic Law and confirms its validity for Christians in Mt 5. Like Matthew, Luther insists on the practicability of the commandments of Mt 5 in his view Christians fulfil the law also with joy yet his interpretation of Mt 5 attenuates the radical nature of its commandments. Luther s reception of the individual pericopes of Mt 5 is considerably generative and occasionally contradictory, which is explained by the following factors, among others: Luther receives many ideas from tradition and reads them and his own theological concepts into Matthew s Gospel. He interprets Mt 5 through his understanding of some Old Testament passages as well as Paul. Most of all, Luther s reception of Mt 5 is shaped by his own experience as a preacher, by his relation to his religious enemies, rulers and to the congregation of Wittenberg. Here Luther shares with Matthew the experience of being opposed and concern about the upright living of the believers, which in both cases also explains the polemical tone of the paraenesis.

Die mündliche Sprachkompetenz finnischer Deutschlernender aus Sicht der grammatikalischen Korrektheit : Eine Fehleranalyse im Rahmen des HY-TALK-Projekts

Tutkielman päätavoitteena on analysoida suomalaisten, saksaa opiskelevien lukiolaisten suullisen testin suorituksia kielen oikeellisuuden näkökulmasta virheanalyysin avulla. Aineistona on osa Helsingin yliopiston HY-TALK-hankkeen saksan kielen tutkimusaineistosta: videoinnit suullisen kielitaidon testeistä sekä asiantuntijaraadin arvioinnit suorituksista. Koska aineisto on suullinen, tutkielmassa tarkastellaan aluksi suullisen kielen piirteitä. Virheanalyysin pohjana ovat muun muassa Corderin, Nickelin, Kleppinin ja Jamesin esittämät teoriat. Tutkielmassa analysoidaan kolmentoista, selkeästi joko A1.3- tai A2.2-taitotasolle arvioidun opiskelijan suoritukset. Virheanalyysin tavoitteena on saada selville kielioppivirheiden määrät, kullekin taitotasolle tyypilliset kielioppivirheet sekä selvittää tasojen välisiä eroja. Virheanalyysissä ei huomioida leksikaalisia eikä ääntämisvirheitä, vaan keskitytään morfologisiin ja syntaktisiin virheisiin. Virheet jaotellaan eri virheluokkiin (nominaalilausekkeiden deklinaatio, pronomini, taipumattomat sanaluokat, kysymyssanat, kieltoilmaukset, verbit ja lauserakenne) ja ne tilastoidaan taulukoihin. Lisäksi pohditaan virheiden syitä sekä virheiden vaikutusta kielen ymmärrettävyyteen. Jälkimmäistä selvitetään saksaa äidinkielenään puhuvan, kolmihenkisen raadin avulla. Raadin sekä numeeriset että verbaaliset arvioinnit ovat myös osa tutkielman aineistoa. Toinen tutkielman päätavoite on opetussuunnitelman taitotasoasteikon validointi. Tarkoituksena on selvittää oikeellisuuden taitotasokuvausten toimivuutta arvioinnissa A1.3- ja A2.2-tasojen osalta. Tätä tavoitetta varten selvitetään myös kielitaidon arvioinnin taustalla olevia teorioita. HY-TALK-asiantuntijaraadin arviointeja verrataan virheanalyysin tuloksiin korrelaatiokertoimen ja regressiosuoran avulla. Virheanalyysin perusteella voidaan todeta, että molemmilla tasoilla olevat opiskelijat tekevät eniten virheitä nominaalilausekkeiden deklinaatiossa (A2.2-tasolla 60,0 prosenttia kaikista virheistä ja A1.3-tasolla 42,2 prosenttia). A1.3-tasolle arvioidut opiskelijat tekevät paljon virheitä myös verbeissä ja lauserakenteissa, kun taas A2.2-tason opiskelijat hallitsevat nämä rakenteet paremmin. A1.3-tasolle arvioidut opiskelijat tekevät enemmän virheitä (22,10 virhettä sataa sanaa kohden) kuin A2.2-tasolle arvioidut (9,80 virhettä sataa sanaa kohden). Virheiden syitä ovat muun muassa testitilanne, puhekumppanin vaikutus ja interferenssi. Kielen ymmärrettävyyteen vaikuttavat saksalaisen raadin mukaan kielioppivirheiden lisäksi muun muassa puheen sujuvuus ja leksikaaliset ongelmat. Vakavimpina virheinä pidetään virheitä lauserakenteessa, sillä ne haittaavat usein ymmärrettävyyttä. Deklinaatiovirheitä puolestaan ei yleensä pidetä vakavina virheinä. Taitotasokuvaukset toimivat A1.3- ja A2.2-tasojen osalta hyvin, sillä virheanalyysin virhemäärät ja HY-TALK-raadin arvioinnit korreloivat keskenään, kun otetaan huomioon molemmat tasot A1.3 ja A2.2. Kielioppivirheiden määrä siis vaikuttaa kielen oikeellisuuden arviointiin. Taitotasokuvauksia olisi kuitenkin joiltain osin syytä tarkentaa ja yhtenäistää esimerkiksi konkreettisten esimerkkien avulla (esim. mikä on peruskielioppivirhe?) ja kuvaamalla myös kielen ymmärrettävyyttä joka tasolla.

La conexión árabe : una hipótesis sobre el surgimiento sociopolítico de Israel en Palestina

Abstract: Recent scholarship has shown that there is no solid archaeological or epigraphic evidence to deem the narratives about the rise to kingship of David and his son Solomon as reflecting the rise and consolidation of Israel as a Nation-State during the 10th century BCE. It is rather during the 9th century in the Palestinian highlands that we can find the emergence of a socio-political entity named Bīt Humri/ya or Israel in the contemporary archaeological and epigraphic records, but with an ambiguous character as a state. In this paper, it is suggested the possibility that the rise of such a polity and the constitution of an ethnogenesis are notably and directly related to the appearance of the Arabian network of exchanges in the early first millennium BCE in the Near East. Furthermore, from a critical point of view, one may suggest that there is no direct ethnic connection between the kingdoms of Israel and Judah and the later Jewish cults of Yahweh in Palestine.

A possible alchemist apparatus from the early islamic period excavated at Ramla, Israel

Abstract: During extensive salvage excavations carried out during the years 2004-2008 in a large Early Islamic industrial area at the vicinities of Ramla, in Central Israel, an unparalleled industrial device was unearthed. The star-shaped, soil embedded installation, whose lower part was preserved, consisted of a central pottery jar surrounded by five minor jars, linked by ceramic pipes. Evidence of heat was observed mainly around the central vessel, and metal hollow cones perforated in the tip were found inside the surrounding jars. Although the manufacturing procedures and operation techniques of the installation are not completely clear, it is proposed that the installation is part of an industrial workshop or an alchemy laboratory. Both industry and alchemy were well-developed during the Early Islamic period and very often closely related, to the point that sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between them. The identification proposed is based on comparisons with tools described in literary sources, and somewhat later drawings and etchings. Circumstantial ceramic evidence was found, as well as the proximity of a bathhouse whose guests could have been the consumers of perfumes and unguents seem to reinforce this possibility. Due to the poor state of preservation of the device and the lack of available comparisons, the identification proposed here is tentative, and future research coupled with eventual new discoveries is needed in order to clarify this matter.

Israel: una sociedad en tensión constante

[ES]Israel es un país marcado por la excepcionalidad. Con esto quiero referirme a que su forma de nacer, el contexto regional donde está ubicado y su propio desarrollo, han hecho de este país un verdadero laboratorio social. El estado hebreo se ha constituido desde el concepto de judeidad y mediante la inmigración judía masiva, lo que ha hecho que en su seno se den numerosas opciones identitarias. Todo ello casi en constantes guerras con sus vecinos árabes y sufriendo el zarpazo del terrorismo. Esto ha hecho que en Israel aspectos como la seguridad, el ejército y los Derechos Humanos hayan sido variables que este país ha tenido y tiene que gestionar. Esta realidad ha determinado de manera decisiva su articulación como sociedad y su propio desarrollo político tanto nacional como internacional. Este artículo pretende dar algunas claves para entender la complejidad de una sociedad, la israelí, en tensión constante.

Rückwürfe in den Fischereien unter deutscher Flagge: Ergebnisse aus 6 Jahren Datenerhebungsprogramm am Institut für Seefischerei

Since 2002 Germany is obliged to collect fishery data to support the European Common Fishery Policy. Sampling of the com-mercial fishery under German flag is one duty within the EU fisheries data collection programme. During the past 6 years, 148 fishing trips were sampled by scientific observers onboard commercial fishing vessels to collect data on catch composi-tions with special emphasis on the proportions of landed and discarded fish. The results show that the proportion of discard is depending on the fishery. Highest discard rates were observed on beam trawl fishing trips. At the level of individual fishing trips, discard rates varied extremely within a fishery segment. Highest variations were found in the beam and bottom otter trawl fishery. In contrast, the discard rates in high-seas fisheries were low.
