CMOK to YOu To presents the 2015 email correspondence of the Serbian-born poet, art critic and playwright Nina Živančević and Canadian cultural theorist Marc James Léger. In December of 2014 Léger invited Živančević to contribute a text to the second volume of the book he was editing, The Idea of the Avant Garde – And What It Means Today. Taken with each other’s idiosyncrasies, their correspondence gradually shifted from amiable professional exchanges and the eventual failure to organize a scholarly event to that of collaborating on some kind of writing project. Several titles were attempted for the eventual book – Marshmallow Muse: The Exact and Irreverent Letters of MJL and NZ, The Orange Jelly Bean, or, I Already Am Eating from the Trash Can All the Time: The Name of This Trash Can Is Ideology, The Secreted Correspondence of Mme Chatelet and Voltaire, and I’m Taken: The E-Pistolary Poetry of Kit le Minx and Cad – but none of these proved to be more telling than CMOK, the Serbian word for kiss, which sums up the authors’ quest for “harmony” in an altogether imperfect world and literary medium.In this book, names of real people were changed in order to protect those who might otherwise be offended by the unguarded and absurdist commentary of its authors. Despite this fact, it is the fragility and elasticity of the writers’ superegos that is tested as they vacillate from personal registers to intellectual strata. At once a cis-avant-gardist’s exploration of anti-art and a poet’s claim to some weak form of autonomy, CMOK delights in both the pleasures of casual email and the sublime realizations of Jacques Lacan’s theory of sexuation. CMOK is a hybrid genre and a quest into the real of virtuality that defies the literary standards. Its authors, who never met, answer one another’s basic needs and questions, separated as they are by time zones and the ocean, but not culturally or spiritually.ABOUT THE AUTHORNina Živančević is a Paris-based poet, playwright, fiction writer, scholar, performer and art critic.

Nerve sheath tumors can be a significant cause of morbidity for many patients. These include benign tumors such as schwannomas, diffuse and plexiform neurofibromas, and atypical neurofibromas, as well as the aggressive soft tissue sarcoma known as the malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST). Nerve sheath tumors occur sporadically and in the context of the clinical neuro-genetic tumor predisposition syndromes neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and type 2 (NF2). Historically, the mainstay of treatment for nerve sheath tumors has been surgery. However, for both benign and malignant nerve sheath tumors, there is a high recurrence rate, highlighting the pressing need for novel therapies. As we have entered the genomic era, the hope is that an improved understanding of the genetics, and therefore the biology, of these tumors will ultimately lead to therapies that result in better outcomes. In this Special Issue, we include both review articles and original research related to the genomic understanding and modeling of schwannomas, plexiform and diffuse neurofibromas, atypical neurofibromas, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors as well as genomic methods being developed and applied to advance our understanding of these tumors.

Social perspective defines the human skill of changing between the point of view of oneself and the other. It takes meta-perspectives and applies them to the different (suspected) point of views. If one knows how the interaction-partner sees the world, one can assume the partner´s willingness to act and consider it for one´s own plan of action.

"Beyond musical works: new perspectives on music ontology and performance
What are musical works? How are they constructed in our minds? Which material things allow us to speak about them in the first place? Does a specific way of conceiving musical works limit their performative potentials? Which alternative, more productive images of musical work can be devised?

Virtual Works – Actual Things addresses contemporary music ontological discourses, challenging dominant musicological accounts, questioning their authoritative foundation and moving towards dynamic perspectives devised by music practitioners and artist researchers. Specific attention is given to the relationship between the virtual multiplicities that enable the construction of an image of a musical work and the actual, concrete materials that make such a construction possible. With contributions by prominent scholars, this book is a wide-ranging and fascinating collection of essays, which will be of great interest for artistic research, contemporary musicology, music philosophy, performance studies and music pedagogy alike.

Contributors: David Davies (McGill University, Montreal), Andreas Dorschel (University of the Arts Graz), Lydia Goehr (Columbia University, New York), Kathy Kiloh (OCAD University, Toronto), Jake McNulty (Columbia University, New York), Gunnar Hindrichs (University of Basel), John Rink (University of Cambridge)"

The open access journal Micromachines invites manuscript submissions for the Special Issue “Silicon Photonics Bloom”. The past two decades have witnessed a tremendous growth of silicon photonics. Lab-scale research on simple passive component designs is now being expanded by on-chip hybrid systems architectures. With the recent injection of government and private funding, we are living the 1980s of the electronic industry, when the first merchant foundries were established. Soon, we will see more and more merchant foundries proposing well-established electronic design tools, product development kits, and mature component libraries. The open access journal Micromachines invites the submission of manuscripts in the developing area of silicon photonics. The goal of this Special Issue is to highlight the recent developments in this cutting-edge technology.]

Der Asiatisch-Pazifischen Wirtschaftskooperation (APEC) gehört der überwiegende Teil der Pazifikanrainerstaaten an. Darunter die ostasiatischen Tigerländer, Japan, die ASEAN-Staaten, die NAFTA-Staaten, Australien und Neuseeland. Die Teilnehmer der APEC haben sich zum Ziel gesetzt, bis zum Jahr 2020 freien Handel und freie Investitionen innerhalb der APEC-Region zu erreichen. Vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Regionalisierungsdebatte wird untersucht, unter welchen Voraussetzungen dieses Vorhaben verwirklicht werden soll, welche Schwierigkeiten bestehen und welche Wirkungen resultieren können.

The main points of reflection posed by the volume concern the identity and role of the teachers in the digital society: teacher training, educational planning and the praxic effects of new media. The text proposes reflections on current issues, such as assessment - intended as a training process of knowledge acquisition - and innovative applications of academic research to new learning needs. The purpose of this contribution is to link constructs and paradigms to identify what makes a teacher highly qualified, from an eminently pedagogical point of view.

The Internet and the proceeding digitalisation of content - such as music, videos and written texts - have led to profound and complex challenges in the field of Copyright Law, especially with regard to questions of enforcement as well as adequate compensation of right holders. In recent years, several alternative compensation schemes have been proposed, seeking to solve these issues. In Germany, the discussion still focuses on the so-called "cultural flatrate", that is, in a nutshell, a limitation to copyrights which would legalize sharing of content online. Every holder of a broadband connection to the Internet would have to pay a monthly fee which would be used to remunerate the right holders.This advisory opinion was compiled on behalf of the parliamentary group of the German political party "Bündnis 90/DIE GRÜNEN". The author comprehensively analyses the feasibility of the described alternative compensation scheme under German and European law, discussing both legal and economic obstacles and possible impacts based on a variety of different economic prerequisites.In diesem von der Bundestagsfraktion Bündnis 90/Die Grünen in Auftrag gegebenem ergebnisoffenem Gutachten untersucht Prof. Spindler die rechtliche und ökonomische Umsetzbarkeit sowie Ausgestaltung eines Ansatzes zur sog. „Kulturflatrate“. Die Fragestellung war, ob ein Pauschalvergütungsansatz auf Breitbandanschlüsse ein Baustein für ein gerechteres, modernes Urheberrecht, für angemessene Vergütung für die UrheberInnen und einen gesellschaftlichen Interessensausgleich sein kann. Das umfassende und detailreiche Gutachten leistet einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Diskussion um die Zukunft des Urheberrechts, die in Zeiten des globalen Internets in praktisch jedem Land geführt wird. Es wird vollumfänglich der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht, damit die Ergebnisse von allen Interessierten genutzt und weiterentwickelt werden können. Prof. Spindler zeigt in seinem Gutachten auf, dass ein Pauschalvergütungsansatz verfassungsrechtlich zulässig und ein attraktives Modell zur angemessenen Vergütung für Kreative sein kann. Für die Situation der NutzerInnen bietet er eine geeignete Alternative zu repressiven und gesellschaftlich höchst konfliktträchtigen Formen der Rechtsdurchsetzung. Gleichzeitig wird aber auch auf gewichtige Schwierigkeiten und Hürden bei der Umsetzung eines solchen Modells hingewiesen.
