Anja Schmidt - Böcker

Covering a key connection between geological processes and life on Earth, this multidisciplinary volume describes the effects of volcanism on the environment by combining present-day observations of volcanism and environmental changes with information from past eruptions preserved in the geologic record. The book discusses the origins, features and timing of volumetrically large volcanic eruptions; methods for assessing gas and tephra release in the modern day and the palaeo-record; and the impacts of volcanic gases and aerosols on the environment, from ozone depletion to mass extinctions. The significant advances that have been made in recent years in quantifying and understanding the impacts of present and past volcanic eruptions are presented and review chapters are included, making this a valuable book for academic researchers and graduate students in volcanology, climate science, palaeontology, atmospheric chemistry, and igneous petrology.

This detailed volume explores common and numerous specialized methods to study various aspects of plant germline development and targeted manipulation, including imaging and hybridization techniques to study cell-type specification, cell lineage, signaling and hormones, cell cycle, and the cytoskeleton. In addition, cell-type specific methods for targeted ablation or isolation are provided, protocols to apply “omics” technologies and to perform bioinformatics data analysis, as well as methods relevant for aspects of biotechnology or plant breeding. This includes protocols that are relevant for the targeted manipulation of pathways, for crop plant transformation, or for conditional induction of phenotypes. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Plant Germline Development: Methods and Protocols serves as a comprehensive guide not only to studying basic questions related to different aspects of plant reproductive development but also for state of the art methods, in addition to being a source of inspiration for new approaches and research questions in many laboratories.

Revenge Porn, Upskirting, Downblousing, sexualisierte Deep Fakes, Catcalling und Dickpics - diese Stichworte bezeichnen eine Reihe von Phänomenen, deren rechtliche Regelung in den letzten Jahren für intensive Diskussionen gesorgt haben. Der Band geht der Frage nach, ob sich diese Phänomene als nicht-körperliche Beeinträchtigungen der sexuellen Selbstbestimmung zusammenfassen lassen. Das Schadenspotenzial dieser Verhaltensweisen wird aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven vermessen. Zudem wird umfassend erörtert, welche Gesichtspunkte und Kriterien für die rechtliche Behandlung und Konzeptualisierung entscheidend sind, namentlich für die Frage der Strafwürdigkeit und der Kriminalisierung als Sexualstraftaten.

Auch wenn es Darstellungen des Sexuellen in unterschiedlichen Kulturen zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten gibt, ist Pornographie ein Begriff der westlichen modernen Welt. Er wird wesentlich durch rechtliche Verbote geformt, die traditionell dem Schutz der Sittlichkeit dienen. Anja Schmidt versucht, das Pornographiestrafrecht konsequent am Maßstab der Gewährleistung sexueller Selbstbestimmung zu hinterfragen. Sie zeigt, dass das Recht auf sexuelle Selbstbestimmung das Herstellen und Nutzen sexualbezogener Inhalte umfasst, dieses Recht dadurch aber auch auf schwerwiegende Weise verletzt werden kann. Die Autorin schlägt vor, die strafrechtliche Regelung sexualbezogener Inhalte neu zu ordnen, wobei sie zwischen der Wahrnehmung sexuell expliziter Inhalte, bildbasierter sexueller Gewalt, sexueller Belästigung und der Ausbeutung bei der Herstellung sexuell expliziter Inhalte unterscheidet.

Anja Schmidt's thesis is a unique and comprehensive evaluation of the impacts of tropospheric volcanic aerosol on the atmosphere, climate, air quality and human health. Using a state-of-the-art global microphysics model, the thesis describes and quantifies the impact of volcanic sulphur emissions on global aerosol, clouds and the radiative forcing of climate. The advanced model enables the first ever estimate of the impact of the emissions on aerosol microphysical properties such as particle number concentrations and sizes, and therefore a considerably improved ability to quantify the climate and air quality effects. There are several important discoveries in this thesis. Firstly, it is shown that continuously degassing volcanoes exert a major effect on global clouds and climate. Secondly, the impact of the 1783 Laki eruption in Iceland is re-examined to show that this long-lasting flood lava eruption would have had major effects on clouds and climate. Thirdly, by combining her research on volcanism, atmospheric science and epidemiology, she shows that a present-day Laki-like eruption would seriously affect European air quality and cause over 100000 premature deaths in the first year.
