Beitrag zur Performanz des Chemnitzer Stadtwappens

Die Studie widmet sich der legalisierten Tyrannentötung. Dazu analysiert der Verfasser ausführlich das Demophantos-Dekret, in dem, nachdem die Oligarchie in Athen 410 v.Chr. zugunsten der Demokratie wiederhergestellt worden war, per Volksbeschluss festgelegt wurde, dass alle Athener auf den Schutz der Demokratie zu schwören hatten und jeder, der sich auch nur des Versuchs einer Handlung gegen die Demokratie oder der Errichtung einer Tyrannis schuldig machte, auf der Stelle, ohne jedes Gerichtsverfahren oder die Möglichkeit zur Berufung, getötet werden konnte.

My research attempted to provide the scientific community a more comprehensive understanding in terms of the determinants of China´s export growth. In order to reach this goal, I have divided my research mainly into two major phases. In phase one, I have concentrated on systematically review the Chinese literature, so that an overview of the determinants of China´s export growth from the Chinese academia can be generated. The purpose of phase one is to add valuable Chinese insights regarding China´s export considering the huge number of existing studies in the Chinese academia in the field of export determinants. Since the scarcity of individual level of factor which have influenced China´s export growth has been identified, I have conducted an in-depth qualitative case study in the second phase of my research to shed light on the micro-level mechanism of export decision process. In this way, the individual level determinants of China´s export growth has been explored and presented.

Hamburg’s marine insurance from the 17th to the middle of the 19th century In the eighteenth century, Hamburg emerged as the third-most important marine insurance market in North-West Europe, after Amsterdam and London, with an impact in the entire Baltic Sea area, but partially in ports along the Atlantic coast and in the Mediterranean as well. On the basis of selected examples this contribution outlines the long-term development of marine insurance rates and explains how and why it gradually became less and less expensive to insure ships and goods in maritime transport. At the same time, the paper examines the factors of pricing of the marine insurance rates, i. e. analyses the significance of different various risk factors. Finally, the importance of (marine) insurance as a central transaction cost of trade and (maritime) transport in pre-industrial times is made clear. It is explained, that the long-term minimalisation of the risks involved in the maritime traffic did start only after the Napoleonic Wars and the subjugation of the last pirates in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, which, however, occurred long before the introduction of steam shipping and other innovations in maritime transport and international communication.

Als renommierte Expertin wäre Danielle Jacquart wie keine andere dafür prädestiniert, zur Medizin- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte des Mittelalters ein bislang schmerzlich vermisstes Handbuch vorzulegen. Leider ist der 2014 erschienene Sammelband trotz der Breite des Themenspektrums keine solche Monografie, sondern er versammelt achtzehn Aufsätze aus Jacquarts Feder, die im Laufe der letzten zwanzig Jahre entstanden sind und bis auf die beiden letzten Beiträge, die erstmals publiziert werden.
