Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der gegenwärtigen Banksprache, die auf Webauftritten der deutschen und russischen Kreditinstitute kommuniziert wird. Die Analyse der ausgewählten Webauftritte der Kreditinstitute erstreckt sich über einen Zeitraum von etwa zwei Jahren - von 2020 bis 2022. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt auf den Strategien der Selbstdarstellung der Finanzdienstleister und der Adressierung. Zentral sind dabei die Fragen, welche Prestigeressourcen bzw. Werte die deutschen und russischen Banken verwenden, d. h. welche sprachlichen und visuellen Mittel sie einsetzen, um ihre Zielgruppen zu erreichen, und wie sich diese auf ihren Webauftritten unterscheiden. Im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit stehen daher die axiologische und multimodale Analysen der werblichen Texte der Kreditinstitute.

In this dissertation auction formats are developed and discussed that focus on three specific economic environments. Regarding the impossibility results from mechanism design, the main task for the implementation of auction designs is to balance allocative efficiency and incentive compatibility – the main characteristics a mechanism should provide. Therefore, the dissertation investigates the limits of conceivable relaxations of allocative efficiency and incentive compatibility for complex settings such as double auctions, interdependent-valuation environments and electricity market designs. The overall aim is to carefully weigh up the advantages and disadvantages for either relaxing allocative efficiency or respectively incentive compatibility.

Die vorliegende Abhandlung leistet einen Beitrag zu der noch längst nicht genügend untersuchten Modalitätsproblematik in althochdeutschen Bibeltexten. Bei den bisherigen historischen Untersuchungen wurden die kommunikativen Bedingungen für das Vorkommen der Modalitätsausdrücke nicht oder nicht hinreichend genug beachtet. Daher hat sich die Arbeit zum Ziel gesetzt, die sprachlichen Ausdrucksformen der Modalität unter dem kommunikativen Gesichtspunkt zu behandeln und neue Punkte zum Thema "Modalität im Althochdeutschen" zur Diskussion zu stellen. Die Analyse ist diskursiv angelegt: Die jeweiligen Modalitätsformen werden auf dem Hintergrund des gesamten Textes dargestellt und aus dem jeweiligen Kontext heraus erklärt. Als Textgrundlage fungiert das selbst erstellte historische Korpus der zwei biblischen Evangelienharmonien aus dem 9. Jahrhundert (der ahd. 'Tatian' und 'Otfrids Evangelienbuch'). / This work addresses the problem of modality in Old High German bible texts. In historical research so far, the communicative circumstances for the appearance of expressions of modality have not been taken into account or at least not enough. Thus, the aim of this work is, to look at linguistic expressions of modality from a communicative point of view and to open up the discussion about some new issues within the field of "Modality in Old High German". The analysis takes on a discoursal stance: each form of modality is described on the background of the text as a whole und explained in each individual context. The text samples scrutinized are two bible texts from the 9th century, namely the old high german 'Tatian' (Diatesseron) and 'Otfrids Evangelienbuch' (Otfrid von Weißenburg’s Gospel Book).

This dissertation analyses governance in the process of the formation of new regional alliances and spaces in Europe, by studying the case of the Central European Region - Centrope, which is both a region and a political project at the border area of Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. This research aims at illuminating the historically founded relationship between emerging territories and new socioeconomic institutionalisations through unveiling the mode of governance in Centrope. It uncovers the progress and dilemmas of the institutionalization of a new region and regional alliances. The focus is on socio-spatial transformations, bringing in conceptual clarifications to unravel, among other issues, the ways in which actor's alliances are formed and mobilized to defend and promote particular interests grounded within already established, emerging, or potential state spaces. It thus sheds light on the mode of governance and regional development being fostered by the EU in new trans-border regions, as well as on the challenges involved in implementing new spaces in the EU under the absolute rule of a specific notion of competitiveness. This enabled sketching some alternative policy recommendations. (author's abstract)

Experimental and clinical data have documented the adverse effects of perinatal ethanol intoxication on peripheral organs and the central nervous system. There is little known, however, about potential damaging effects of perinatal ethanol on the developing visual system. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of neonatal ethanol intoxication on RGC morphology, estimate the total number of neurons in RGC layer and dorsolateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), and on the eye-specific fiber segregation in the dLGN), in YFP and C57BL/6 mice pups. Ethanol (3 g/kg/day) was administered by intragastric intubation throughout postnatal days (PD) 3-20 or 3-10. Intubation control (IC) and untreated control (C) groups were included. Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was measured in separate groups of pups on PD3, PD10, and PD20 at 4 different time points, 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 h after the second intubation. Numbers neurons in the RGCs and dLGN were quantified on PD10, PD20 using unbiased stereological procedures. The RGC images were taken using a confocal microscope and images were traced using Neurolucida software. On PD9, intraocular injections of cholera toxin-
