Memoirs : Heida Hermanns Holde /

The author's mother Alice Goldschmidt was a gifted piano player, who studied with Carl Maria Breithaupt and became his most talented student. Childhood recollections. Early musical awakening. Outbreak of World War One. Recollections of air raids and scarceness of food. Inflation and political instability in post-war Germany. Piano lessons by her mother from an early age. Heida made her debut at age fourteen with the Wiesbaden Symphony under the conductor Carl Schuricht, who became a close mentor and friend. Close relationship to her mother, who had a great influence on her professional career. Heida had a number of outstanding teachers, among them Artur Schnabel, Karl Leimer and Egon Petri. Heida was accepted as a student of Petri at the "Hochschule fuer Musik" in Berlin, where she studied between 1922-1925. Salon at her aunt's house with guests such as the playwright Georg Kaiser and Siegfried Wagner. Her sister Elsie received her Ph.D. in economics and moved to Berlin as well. Heida graduated from the "Hochschule" in 1925. Soon after she won an international piano competition in Berlin. Engagements with various conductors such as Max Fiedler and Otto Klemperer. Private lessons with Arthur Schnabel and Carl Friedberg, the co-founder of Juilliard. Due to occasional experiences of antisemitism during her music career Heida decided to change her name from Goldschmidt to Hermanns. Position at the "Hoch Conservatory" in Frankfurt. Encounter with the music critic Artur Holde, Heida's future-husband. Engagement and wedding in 1932. Move to Berlin.

Whole exome sequencing identifies a novel splice-site mutation in ADAMTS17 in an Indian family with Weill-Marchesani syndrome

Purpose: Weill-Marchesani syndrome (WMS) is a rare connective tissue disorder, characterized by short stature, micro-spherophakic lens, and stubby hands and feet (brachydactyly). WMS is caused by mutations in the FBN1, ADAMTS10, and LTBP2 genes. Mutations in the LTBP2 and ADAMTS17 genes cause a WMS-like syndrome, in which the affected individuals show major features of WMS but do not display brachydactyly and joint stiffness. The main purpose of our study was to determine the genetic cause of WMS in an Indian family. Methods: Whole exome sequencing (WES) was used to identify the genetic cause of WMS in the family. The cosegregation of the mutation was determined with Sanger sequencing. Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR analysis was used to assess the effect of a splice-site mutation on splicing of the ADAMTS17 transcript. Results: The WES analysis identified a homozygous novel splice-site mutation c.873+1G>T in a known WMS-like syndrome gene, ADAMTS17, in the family. RT-PCR analysis in the patient showed that exon 5 was skipped, which resulted in the deletion of 28 amino acids in the ADAMTS17 protein. Conclusions: The mutation in the WMS-like syndrome gene ADAMTS17 also causes WMS in an Indian family. The present study will be helpful in genetic diagnosis of this family and increases the number of mutations of this gene to six.

Kurt Gödel y San Agustín : platonismo matemático y la existencia de Dios

Resumen: El trabajo explica el siguiente razonamiento: si las verdades matemáticas no son creación humana, entonces necesariamente hay que aceptar la existencia de un Intelecto Eterno que sea su sustento metafísico. La premisa es defendida a partir del descubrimiento gödeliano de la imposibilidad de formalizar la totalidad de las matemáticas en un sistema deductivo formal. A partir de allí se muestra la necesidad de admitir una existencia eidética objetiva de las “entidades matemáticas”. Luego, tomando un argumento de San Agustín en De libero arbitrio, se llega a la necesidad de la existencia de Dios como Intelecto que sostiene el ser de las Ideas.

Design and Implementation of Statistical Rate Monotonic Scheduling in KURT Linux

Statistical Rate Monotonic Scheduling (SRMS) is a generalization of the classical RMS results of Liu and Layland [LL73] for periodic tasks with highly variable execution times and statistical QoS requirements. The main tenet of SRMS is that the variability in task resource requirements could be smoothed through aggregation to yield guaranteed QoS. This aggregation is done over time for a given task and across multiple tasks for a given period of time. Similar to RMS, SRMS has two components: a feasibility test and a scheduling algorithm. SRMS feasibility test ensures that it is possible for a given periodic task set to share a given resource without violating any of the statistical QoS constraints imposed on each task in the set. The SRMS scheduling algorithm consists of two parts: a job admission controller and a scheduler. The SRMS scheduler is a simple, preemptive, fixed-priority scheduler. The SRMS job admission controller manages the QoS delivered to the various tasks through admit/reject and priority assignment decisions. In particular, it ensures the important property of task isolation, whereby tasks do not infringe on each other. In this paper we present the design and implementation of SRMS within the KURT Linux Operating System [HSPN98, SPH 98, Sri98]. KURT Linux supports conventional tasks as well as real-time tasks. It provides a mechanism for transitioning from normal Linux scheduling to a mixed scheduling of conventional and real-time tasks, and to a focused mode where only real-time tasks are scheduled. We overview the technical issues that we had to overcome in order to integrate SRMS into KURT Linux and present the API we have developed for scheduling periodic real-time tasks using SRMS.

"I'm not a box. There's more than four sides to me." : En kvalitativ textanalys av karaktären Kurt Hummel och den homosexuella stereotypen

Arbetet består av en närläsning av karaktären Kurt Hummel i tv-serien Glee med fokus på stereotyper för homosexuella män, och hur Kurt förhåller sig till dem stereotyperna. Studien är gjord utifrån ett queerteoretiskt perspektiv och visar att Kurt i viss mån framställs stereotypt i seriens tidigare avsnitt, men att han efter hand uppvisar ett djup och komplexitet som man inte ofta ser hos homosexuella karaktärer på tv.

Delimitação do conceito de personalidade em Kurt Goldstein

Dada a relevância do tema - Personalidade - em Psicologia e apesar da incompletude das diversas teorias até hoje existentes, resolveu-se estudá-la à luz de Kurt Goldstein. A escolha deste autor se deve a seu trabalho metodológico tanto quanto ao fato de ser ele desconhecido dentro do saber psicológico. Esta dissertação é de cunho teórico, embora se reconheça as limitações de só atuar em teoria. Conjuntamente à obra de Goldstein o conceito foi examinado dentro dos pressupostos gestálticos, tendo sido ele observado também fenomenologiacamente, ao nível da teoria dos sistemas, da filosofia e da abordagem holista no interior de um esquema interdisciplinar. A tentativa é de aproximar um modelo proposto por Goldstein. Conclui-se ser a personalidade um processo ininterrupto e em atividade constante. Funciona em favor da unidade organísmica dentro d'um tempo que lhe configura. Expressa-se em comportamentos privilegiados sendo representada mas n'uma representação de constituição pela linguagem. Faz parte da Personalidade interligar-se, manter relações e permanecer sempre inacabada.
