Herausforderungen bei der Kodierung von Paratext am Beispiel Neuer Musik mit Live-Elektronik

In traditional scholarly editions of music, peritext only plays a minor role so far. Peritexts can be defined as integral components of a score, for example a foreword, that are not part of the musical text. Especially in New Music, which is often intentionally breaking with implicit performance traditions, peritexts might offer essential information, e. g. on the arrangement of instruments and personal on the stage, about the used effects and hardware, and on verbal instructions to the interpreters. Encoding this information to be fully accessible for a scholarly digital music edition, is an important challenge. The poster is explaining this issue using an example by Joachim Krebs.

Disinheritance of Daughters: Saving Tradition or Rejecting Modernity

Disinheritances of daughters from ancestral property is a well-established social fact as strong as the recognition of their legal right to inheritance; constitutionally and legally. Law, seen as potent tool for social change, attempt to provide equal and dignified claim to daughters Vis a Vis sons, but law does not operate in vacuum. The socio-cultural space regulates it functioning and nature and extent of delivery. However the explicit as well as implicit performance of Hindu Succession Act 1956 (as amended in 2005) within the Indian social space questions the underlining patriarchal structures of Indian society in particular and the larger goal of women emancipation in general. To this end, disinheritance of daughters at once disclose the intricately enmeshed issues of law, society and gender rights to fore front. The present paper is theoretical and attempts to conceptualize the larger issue of disinheritance of daughters within the contrast of tradition and modernity. The paper revolves around how socially non-invocation of inheritance rights confirms to traditional social structure while claiming these rights seems to be a modern phenomenon. The analysis revealed that the process of social change in India has been dominantly gendered and legally backed gender rights have few takers socially. Gendered Socialization, stigmas attached to independence of women and above all the overarching illusion of saving tradition and rejecting modernity emerges out to be the root causes for disinheritance of daughters from ancestral property.

Using an Event-Detection Measure to Assess Drivers' Attention and Situation Awareness

In this paper we describe an event-detection measure for assessing drivers' attention and situation awareness during driving, and present data from a study using this measure. In this study, drivers detected traffic events directly in front of them most frequently, events in an oncoming front lane less frequently, and events behind them least often. Drivers also detected swerve events more frequently than deceleration events. We compare the event-detection measure to other measures of attention and situation awareness used to assess driving: the SAGAT technique (Endsley, 1995), implicit-performance measures (Durso & Gronlund, 1999), and the flicker paradigm (Richard, Wright & Ee, 2002). Each of the above measures has advantages and disadvantages, and no single measure is optimal. However, we argue that the eventdetection measure has some advantages over other techniques in answering questions regarding mechanisms of attention allocation and attention capture and how these two mechanisms interact during driving.
