Abstract Johann Diederich Gries gilt als einer der ersten professionellen Literaturübersetzer im modernen Sinne, wie anhand seiner Calderón-Übersetzungen gezeigt wird. Gries wurde zunächst nur als Helfer zu einer Bearbeitung für die Weimarer Bühne unter Goethes Leitung herangezogen, er entwickelte daraus ein ambitioniertes Großprojekt, das neue Maßstäbe setzte. Aus Gries’ Korrespondenz und Übersetzungsmanuskripten werden die Grundsätze und Komplexität seines Vorhabens, die Schwierigkeiten, die sich aus der Editionslage und der fremden Theaterkonventionen ergaben, sowie seine Versuche, die Aufmerksamkeit des Publikums durch Rezensionen zu wecken, dargelegt.Johann Diederich Gries can be regarded as one of the firsts professional translators of literature in modern meaning, as the article analyses on the basis of his Calderón translations. Initially, Gries had been consulted only as a helper for an adaption of Weimar’s theatre under Goethe’s management. Based on that, Grieß then developed an ambitious project, wich set a new high standard. The analysis of Gries’ correspondence and translation manuscripts enables an explanation of the principles and complexity of his project, of the problematic editorial situation and foreign theatrelic conventions, and of his trial to obtain the attention of the public through reviews.

The media and sections of the public have shown recently an acute interest in Pipeline operational performance incident statistics. Published data for North America shows that 99.999% of crude oil and petroleum products shipped by pipelines reach their destination safely. Some pipeline operators claim even better performance, 99.9996 % being one example. However, should failing to deliver 4 barrels of product for every million shipped be a legitimate cause for concern? If not how about the more general case of 1 per one hundred thousand? Is pipeline performance being singled out unreasonably when compared to other threats to public and environmental wellbeing such as medical malpractice or industrial waste contamination? Evidence from Canada and elsewhere, indicates that, during their hospital stay, an appreciable number of patients, one in every 18, experience adverse events, such as medication error, injurious falls, infections, and other medical misadventures. Errors (mostly minor), in fulfilling pharmaceutical prescriptions show an even higher error rate — 1 in 4 in one recent study, yet the public appears to be unperturbed. A common thread is determining what constitutes an acceptable level of risk whether individual or societal, voluntary or involuntary. Besides providing a broader context for pipeline risk, the paper explores the origin and intent of the environmental screening standard of 1 in 10−6, as well as the concept of setting risk tolerance to be as low as reasonably practicable — ALARP. The question of why there may be a reticence for many Pipeline Regulators to set, as other industries have, a prescriptive value for ALARP is considered.

This chapter gives healthcare providers recommendations and tools to help patients mitigate exposure to harmful environmental chemicals, radiation, and other stressors; limiting contact and maximizing innate biological detoxification pathways through the safe use of exercise, diet, and appropriate supplements. Of particular concern are the vulnerable periods of biological development, when harmful chemicals can have the most deleterious effects. Therefore, particular attention is paid to the care of young children and pregnant women. Whether chemical exposure comes from food additives and food packaging, water, personal care and cleaning products, air contamination, or radiation, this chapter gives clear, practical, and safe recommendations for chemical reduction and embraces the precautionary principle when there is evidence of harm, but proof of causality, a very high standard, has not been established. The current approach of only regulating products after there is certainty of human harm has failed to protect the public health.

Public misunderstanding regarding chemicals in food must be corrected by the food industry itself, Dr. R. C. Newton. vice president of Swift & Company in charge of research, said May 27, 1952. Speaking at the 43rd annual convention of the Flavoring Extract Manufacturers' Association at Chicago's Edgewater Beach Hotel, Dr. Newton said chemicals play an important role in future progress in the food industry. However, he advocated thorough testing of new substances before they are used. Pointing out that actually all foods are chemical. Dr. Newton said for centuries man has used many chemicals in processing his foods. “These chemicals have stood the test of time and are universally accepted as wholesome”, he said. “There is no logical reason, therefore, why the public sometimes should give the word ‘chemical’ a sinister connotation.” “Safety is the first and by all odds the most important consideration with respect to human food. The food industry has always subscribed to the principle of safety first and by and large is favorable to a compulsory program for pre-testing of all new chemical substances in food. Our industry must make its position clear on this point. “It is time the various segments of the food industry announce in unequivocal terms the high standard of ethics which has in the past and will in the future be its guide.

The unexpected death of the young Duke Georg Friedrich of Wurttemberg (1657–1685) on 18 October 1685 at the siege of Košice came as tremendous shock to the public of the Holy Roman Empire. The ducal family of Wurttemberg emphasized the principality’s participation and terrible loss in the war against the Ottoman Empire with a spectacular funeral and some carefully composed propaganda of ultimate honor.The principality of Wurttemberg traditionally maintained a special relationship with the Hungarian Lutheran nobility and citizens. The death of the duke changed the attitudes of the Hungarian Lutheran elite since the principality, which provided them with significant support, had suffered such a great loss in the political, economic and spiritual center of Upper Hungary, Košice, while the young Lutheran prince of Wurttemberg, fighting among the imperial troops, could have helped with the negotiations about the surrender of the city. The funeral speeches in the collection of sermons highlighted various aspects of the royal image, and this was complemented by a volume of fine poems compiled by professors at the University of Tübingen. The decency of the fallen Prince Georg Friedrich of Wurttemberg, which included both traditional topos and a modern set of values, represented several interdependent political interests, representing the high standard, literacy, and effectiveness of the propaganda of the War of Reconquest.

Abstract Despite of increasing volumes of individual passenger transport and growing dependence of the post-socialist societies on the passenger car, public transport is still inevitable for certain communities. Its social and environmental aspects are obvious reasons why public transport remains within the scope of state and regional policies as a mixture of public and commercial services. Long-distance and international overground public transport represents a higher standard of travelling of considerably commercial nature. An important feature of this segment of the public transport is its capability to compete with individual transportation for long-distance journeys. The commercial character of the long-distance public transport should motivate operators to run territorially effective links covering adequately populated communites and regions with high demand for this segment of public-transport services. This study deals with several territorial aspects of the network of long-distance and international bus and train links of public transport in the Slovak Republic. The network of communities having direct access to the high-standard modes of public transport has been identified, revealing some of their spatial patterns and focusing on categorization of urban settlements by selected parameters of high-standard public transport services. The relationship with the population size of the urban settlements is assessed in the study, too.

New urbanism has played an increasingly influential role in Canadian planning and development. Its recent popularity has demonstrated a propensity towards compact, mixed-use, diverse, pedestrian-oriented, and walkable communities, which provide a high standard of architectural design and a focus on the public realm. The Village presents a case study of a growing historic and rural small town which has turned to new urbanism to guide its new development. The traditional design features have proven ideal for a mixed commercial-residential neighbourhood which carefully selected strategies of implementation to protect its local heritage and character in a modern development. This research presents a discussion of the new urbanism, analyzes a typology put forth by Dan Trudeau that helps inform many choice features of The Village as characteristic of Hybrid Urbanism, and explores the extent to which the principles of the movement have been carried out successfully in this case study community. Key words: new urbanism; mixed-use development; Niagara-on-the-Lake; traditional neighbourhood development.

Business history has been a thriving academic industry in Britain for the last three decades. Following some pioneering case studies of Industrial Revolution entrepreneurs by the early giants of the discipline of economic history, the postwar generation has produced a series of high quality company histories. The first of these, published in 1954, was Charles Wilson's history of the Anglo-Dutch multinational Unilever, formed by a merger of Lever Brothers and Margarine Unie in 1929. Wilson's book set the pattern for a high standard of scholarship, resting on complete freedom of access to company archives, and for publication based on scholarly independence rather than the public relations needs of the commissioning organization. If some of its terms of reference now seem dated, and its framework of analysis somewhat unscientific, then that is an indication of the incentive Wilson provided for others to do better, particularly in the use of economic theory and of comparative analysis setting firms in their industrial or international context.

The narrow sense of security, reduced to the ability to survive, has nowadays become insufficient in terms of what society demands. As a result of globalization processes (and the dynamization of reality), the will to maintain a high standard of living (consumerism) and the increasing awareness of individuals in Western culture, the need for a comprehensive minimization of risk has emerged, and hence a demand to look for potential threats in practically every field of life, in order to identify and eradicate them. By means of referring to the culture of security, or – to be more precise – to its three components (resources, organization and mentality), the social expectations of the public administration can be identified. This paper reflects the expectations of the citizens of Wielkopolska as regards the security of mass events on the basis of the operations of the Urban-Regional Headquarters of Euro 2012 in Poznań (and the standards and factors influencing its decision-making status).

The appropriateness of restorative justice (RJ) for gendered violence offences such as domestic violence and sexual assault has always been and still is highly contested. This paper focuses on the appropriateness of RJ measures in addressing sexual assault, primarily with reference to experience of restorative dialogues as practiced at the Centre for Victims of Sexual Assault in Copenhagen, and it takes a feminist approach to the application of RJ measures to sexual assault. Within this framework, the paper tackles two issues in particular: the privacy element of RJ versus the public aspect of the criminal justice system (CJS), and the intersection of the CJS and RJ in cases of sexual assault. In relation to the relationship between CJS and RJ, the authors argue that RJ could be used for victims of sexual assault, not primarily as part of diversion programmes, but when offered apart from and/or parallel to the CJS. In relation to the private/public debate, the authors argue that while RJ encounters, by taking place in highly confidential settings, might have a negative impact on efforts by women?s movements to move violence against women out of the private and into the public realm, creating high standard alternatives for individual women who are in need of support and constantly generating public debate about gendered violence is a good feminist response to this complex issue.

Ruskin made his first trips to Venice when the city was under the Austrian domination, a long period which witnessed the dispersion of many Venetian medieval objects. These objects became of interest to a market which had to meet several requests, including not only those of private collectors, amateurs and foreign tourists looking for “souvenirs”, but also high-standard commissions aimed at creating museums and evocative places. This is the case with the massive purchase by Frederick William of Prussia, in the 1840s, of some ancient medieval sculptures in Italy which would become an important core in the medieval and Byzantine art sections of national museums under construction. Among these sculptures we can find an interesting group of Venetian masterpieces all bought from the same Venetian trader (Pajiaro). Frederick William’s brother as well, Charles, bought several Venetian works of art to replicate a Venetian cloister in the Glienicke Palace. Again: the Church of Peace in Potsdam is adorned with a mosaic bought in Murano, once part of the demolished Saint Cyprian Church. Fragments and entire works of art make up collections intended for the public and its education, or for the embellishment of neo-medieval or picturesque buildings, that was a pillage going in the opposite direction ofRuskin’s interests. His eye and his hand gave us the graphic and visual documentation of a heritage in context. His writings are characterized by the attention to each and every fragment as the witness of a manner of doing which is also history. Some traces of the exportation of medieval works of art can be found in Venetians’ reaction, Seguso’s first of all. In their writings and following actions we can appreciate a greater attention and responsibility for an heritage that will be perceived as an element of their identity. After the annexation to Italy, although this market and sales continued to exist, we witness not only a new dynamic which gives more importance to the restoration of buildings relevant on a national level (such as Piazza San Marco and the Doge’s Palace) or on a civil level (the Fondaco dei Tedeschi), but also the establishment of museums where the fragments emerged from the restoration and decontextualized statues can find their place. All of this has been accomplished in the name of a new spirit and of an attention of whom Ruskin has been the main promoter and protagonist.
