Anlässlich des 50. Todestages von Curt Weikinn (1888–1966) werden sein Leben und sein wissenschaftliches Werk kurz geschildert. Weikinn ist vor allem durch seine „Quellentexte zur Witterungsgeschichte Europas von der Zeitwende bis zum Jahre 1850“ bekannt. Die zu seinen Lebzeiten nur teilweise publizierte Sammlung wird seit einigen Jahren schrittweise der Öffentlichkeit zugängig gemacht. Wichtige Arbeiten hierzu wurden mit finanzieller Unterstützung der DFG im Institut für Meteorologie der Universität Leipzig durchgeführt. / On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of Curt Weikinn (1888 - 1966) his life and scientific work are briefly described. Weikinn is above all known for his „Source Texts to Europe’s Weather History of the Christian Era until 1850“. The in his lifetime only partially published collection is made accessible gradually the public for several years. For this important work was carried out with financial support from the DFG in the Institute for Meteorology, University Leipzig.

Rezension von 3 Werken von und über Karol Szymanowski in englischer und polnischer Sprache

„Die evangelische Diaspora“ ist die neue Form des 1919 begründeten, von 1919 bis 1921 als „Monatsheft“ von Franz Rendtorff, von 1922 bis 1934 als „Zeitschrift“ von Franz Rendtorff und Bruno Geißler, von 1935 bis 1941 von Bruno Geißler und in „Neuer Folge“ von 1953 bis 1965 von Franz Lau geleiteten „Organs für Diasporakunde“, herausgegeben im Auftrag des Präsidenten des Gustav-Adolf-Werks. Das Gustav-Adolf-Werk selbst hat in der langen Zeit seines Wirkens in vielen Teilen der Welt Vertrauen, Freundschaft und Ansehen gewonnen. Das Gustav-Adolf-Werk e.V., 1832 gegründet, arbeitet 2023 im 191. Jahr seines Bestehens. Das Jahrbuch „Die evangelische Diaspora“ hat sich immer als Forum für die evangelische Diaspora verstanden, freilich unter sehr unterschiedlichen politischen Rahmenbedingungen. Heute versteht sich das Jahrbuch als Fachorgan für theologische, kirchenpraktische und auch politische Aspekte der evangelischen Minderheitenexistenz und somit als Spiegel und Begleiterin der Arbeit des Gustav-Adolf-Werkes.

Die evangelische Diaspora ist weltweit mit Veränderungen konfrontiert. Durch Abwanderung vom Land zerstreuen sich gewachsene Gemeinden. Zugleich ist es für die Gemeinden in den Städten schwierig, die entwurzelten Menschen zu erreichen und wieder zu sammeln. „Diaspora in Stadt und Land“ ist ein drängendes Thema für alle Diasporakirchen im Netzwerk des Gustav-Adolf-Werks. Das Jahrbuch 2022/23 bietet grundsätzliche Überlegungen zu diesem Thema genauso wie länder- und kirchenbezogenen Einzelbeiträge. Die unumkehrbare Landflucht stellt neue Anforderungen für die Gestaltung ländlicher Räume. Doch es gibt dazu gelungene Beispiele von Aufbrüchen: in den weit ausgedehnten ländlichen Regionen Ost- bzw. Mitteldeutschlands, die auch religiöse Aufbrüche sind, oder in Ungarn, wo die Einbindung der Kirchengemeinden in die dörflichen Gemeinschaften eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Trotz aller Schwierigkeiten gibt es auch vielversprechende Projekte, Zugewanderte in den Städten kirchlich neu zu integrieren. Weitere Beiträge befassen sich mit gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen wie Säkularisierung und Individualisierung.

Der Beitrag „Alfonso de Toro schreibt aus Leipzig und Chile“ ist Teil einer Sammlung von Einhundert fiktiven Briefen aus aller Welt, die Elmar Schenkel und Fayçal Hamouda unter dem Titel „101 Briefe an Friedrich Nietzsche zu seinem 175. Geburtstag“ herausgegeben haben. Alfonso de Toro knüpfte an seine ersten Lektüren Nietzsches Werk während seiner Schulzeit in Santiago de Chile sowie an sein erstes Semester an der Ludwig-Maximillian-Universität-München (1973), in dem er seine erste Seminararbeit im Fach Philosophie über Nietzsches „Also sprach Zarathustra“. Von da an begleitete in das Nietzsches Werk in seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit bis heute und hebt einige seiner wichtigsten Lektüren von „Unzeitgemäße Betrachtungen“, „Menschliches Allzumenschliches“, „Morgenröte“, „Die fröhliche Wissenschaft“, „Jenseits von Gut und Böse“, „Zur Genealogie der Moral“ und „Ecce Homo“. / The article, “Alfonso de Toro writes from Leipzig and Chile,” is part of a collection of One Hundred Fictional Letters from Around the World edited by Elmar Schenkel and Fayçal Hamouda under the title “101 Letters to Friedrich Nietz-sche on His 175th Birthday.” Alfonso de Toro followed up on his first readings of Nietzsche’s Works during his school years in Santiago de Chile, as well as on his first semester at the Ludwig-Maximillian-University-Munich (1973), in which he wrote his first seminar paper in the Philosophy Department on Nietzsche’s “Also sprach Zarathustra”. From then on, Nietzsche’s work accompanied him in his scientific work until today and highlights some of his most important readings of “Unzeitgemäße Betrachtungen”, “Menschliches Allzumenschliches”, “Morgenröte”, “Die fröhliche Wissenschaft”, “Jenseits von Gut und Böse”, “Zur Genealogie der Moral” and “Ecce Homo”. / La contribución, “Alfonso de Toro escribe desde Leipzig y Chile”, forma parte de una colección de Cien cartas ficti-cias de todo el mundo publicada por Elmar Schenkel y Fayçal Hamouda bajo el título “101 cartas a Friedrich Nietzs-che en su 175º cumpleaños”. Alfonso de Toro parte de sus primeras lecturas durante sus años escolares en Santiago de Chile, así como en su primer semestre en la Universidad Ludwig Maximillian de Múnich (1973), donde escribió su primer trabajo de seminario en la asignatura de filosofía sobre “Also sprach Zarathustra” de Nietzsche. Desde entonces, la obra de Nietzsche le ha acompañado en su trabajo académico hasta la actualidad y destaca algunas de sus lecturas más importantes de “Un-zeitgemäße Betrachtungen”, “Menschliches Allzumenschliches”, “Morgenröte”, “Die fröhliche Wissenschaft”, “Jen-seits von Gut und Böse”, “Zur Genealogie der Moral” y “Ecce Homo”.

Emotional home demands, cognitive home demands, home pressure, development possibilities, autonomy, social support, nonwork–work interference, spouse–work interference, parent–work interference, religion/spiritual–work interference, domestic–work interference, health, exhaustion, cognitive weariness, life satisfaction, dual earner parents Dual earner parents have become the norm in today’s workplace (Weigel, Weigel, Berger, Cook, & Delcampo, 1995). Dual earner parents face many challenging roles that they have to try to balance; these include being a parent, spouse, employee, being involved in religious practices and juggling domestic responsibilities. According to Duxbury and Higgins (1991), it is very difficult for such parents to balance their various roles and multiple demands. All these challenging demands (home characteristics) can cause nonwork–interference which can, in turn, lead to well–being problems (Magnus & Viswesvaran, 2005). The general objective of this study is to investigate the home characteristics, nonwork–work interference and well–being of a sample of dual earner parents. A convenience sample of dual earner parents (N=207) was taken in the Vaal Triangle area in Gauteng. The following scales was used within this study: the Home Demands Scale (Peeters et al., 2005), Home Resources Scale (Demerouti et al., 2010); the Work–nonwork Interference Scale (Koekemoer, Mostert, & Rothmann, 2010); the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) (Goldberg, & Williams, 1988); and the OLBI (Oldenburg Burnout Inventory) Scale measuring exhaustion, Cognitive weariness (Van Horn et al., 2004); and life satisfaction (Diener et al., 1985). Descriptive statistics, Cronbach alpha coefficients, product moment correlations and multiple regression analyses were used to analyse the data. The results indicated that emotional home demands and lack of autonomy significantly predict physical ill health; emotional home demands and spouse–work interference significantly predict anxiety; and emotional home demands significantly predict depression. Gender, home pressure, developmental possibilities and parent–work interference were, in turn, significant predictors of exhaustion. Recommendations were made for future research and also, on a more practical level, for dual earner parents. One of the recommendations is that one needs to investigate the possible cross–over and spillover effects of work–nonwork interference between wives and husbands. Another is to investigate the positive side of work–nonwork interference. / Thesis (M.Com. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

The roles of females have changed significantly over the past years as females increasingly are entering the labour market in South Africa. This resulted in females having to fulfil multiple roles simultaneously, for example being mother, wife and employee. Therefore the statement can be made that females have a work life and a family life to contend with. This can be enriching, seeing that these domains can generate experiences and resources, which females can use in other domains to enhance the quality. The general objective of this study was to explore various relationships that females experience between work resources, home resources, work engagement, family engagement and work-family enrichment. A cross-sectional survey design was used in this study. A combined purposive and convenience non-probability sample of female workers (N = 420) was taken across the spectrum of several industries in South Africa. Measuring instruments were used for biographical characteristics, work resources (self-developed), home resources (self-developed), work-family enrichment (MACE Work-Family Enrichment Instrument), work engagement (Utrecht Engagement Scale) and family engagement (adapted Utrecht Work Engagement Scale). Omegas and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were used to determine the reliability of the findings, while correlations were employed to identify significant relationships between the constructs. The dual work-family enrichment models and the mediating effect of the various dimensions of work-to-family enrichment, as well as family-to-work enrichment, were also tested by the Mplus statistical programme. Two models in which work-family enrichment and family-work enrichment act as mediators were also tested. The results indicated a positive statistical significant relationship between work resources, and work-family enrichment; also between home resources, and family-work enrichment; and between work-family enrichment and work engagement. However, a very small, but statistical significant, relationship was shown to exist between family-work enrichment and family engagement. Work-family enrichment also mediated the relationship, with a large effect, between work resources, with work engagement as outcome and family-work enrichment mediated the relationship, with a small effect, between home resources, with family engagement as outcome. Recommendations were made for organisations to follow up and for future research on the topic. / MCom (Industrial Psychology), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014
