Country Doctor and the Epidemics
Can a country doctor alter the fate of his patients? Or his own fate? In mid October 1918 the largest epidemic of the 20th Century struck in a small eastern Montana town. Within a few weeks influenza had killed dozens of people in the rural county. But this was just one of a series of extraordinary events attacking the social fabric of the community in 1917 and 1918. Rich in detail, broad in scope, this story places a fictional physician in the midst of the riveting events of those years. The physician grieves the death of his wife and unborn child. He is deeply troubled by the limitations of medical science. Then he is tragically enveloped by yet another epidemic. What is the fate of this country doctor?
National Ownership and Security Sector Reform in Mali
Karoline Eickhoff provides an in-depth analysis of the role that national ownership as a key policy principle of international development and peacebuilding plays in shaping the discourses and practices of external interventions in the context of the peace process in Mali. Engaging critically with the day-to-day work experience and perceptions of practitioners working on supporting the reform of the Malian security sector in 2015-2016,the author explores how external actors ‘make sense’ of an abstract policy model vis-à-vis other organisational demands and constraints arising at the field level. This book concludes with policy recommendations on how the gap between ownership policy and external actors’ field-level practices can be addressed.

Cyclic Di-GMP Metabolism in Shewanella Oneidensis MR-1
Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 is a gram-negative, facultative gamma-proteobacterium with the ability to utilize a wide assortment of different electron acceptors for growth, including iron(III), manganese(III) and (IV), nitrate, nitrite, thiosulfate, sulfite, trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), fumarate, uranium(VI), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and elemental sulfur. This metabolic versatility and ability to reduce metals has made S. oneidensis the subject of research in the fields of bioremediation and microbial biofuels. Many of these applications require the formation of biofilms by this microbe. Microbial biofilms are surface-associated communities of microorganisms, and are ubiquitous and profound...

Writing in Residence
Meilenstein literarischer Karrieren und Gatekeeper des Literaturbetriebs, entscheidendes Instrument der Kulturförderung und Außenkulturpolitik, Rückzugsort und Inspirationsquelle für Schreibende, Drehkreuz künstlerischer Mobilität – all dies und vieles mehr sollen deutsche Residenzprogramme im Ausland sein. Zu diesem globalen, von Akteuren wie dem Auswärtigen Amt und dem Goethe-Institut koordinierten Netzwerk gehören ambitionierte Institutionen wie die Villa Massimo in Rom, die Villa Aurora in Los Angeles, die Villa Kamogawa in Kyoto und die Kulturakademie Tarabya in Istanbul. Welche Ziele verfolgen diese und weitere deutsche Residenzprogramme im Ausland? Nach welchen Kriterien fördern sie Literatur? Was für ein Bild literarischen Schaffens kultivieren sie? Welche Wirkungen hat diese Förderung auf die Formen der Literatur und des Literaturbetriebs, welche Effekte hat sie für die Schreibenden? Mit diesen Fragen setzt sich der vorliegende Band auseinander, indem er ein breites Spektrum von politikwissenschaftlichen, kultursoziologischen und literatur- bzw. theaterwissenschaftlichen Ansätzen und Fallstudien zusammenführt.
