Eventualmaxime im Kündigungsverfahren

Es schadet nicht, wenn bei ordentlich bezeichnetem Kündigungsgrund in der Aufkündigung nur einzelne Vorf?lle demonstrativ angeführt werden und dann im Rahmen dieses Kündigungsgrundes noch weitere Vorf?lle nachgetragen werden. Es geht nicht an, einen Vermieter deswegen schlechter zu stellen, weil er statt sich zul?ssigerweise auf die blo?e Angabe einer konkreten Norm des MRG als Kündigungsgrund zu beschr?nken dazu noch weiteres, dem Mieter zur Information dienendes Vorbringen erstattet.     

A型H1N1及H3N2亚型流感病毒实时荧光RT-PCR检测方法的建立

根据A型H1N1亚型流感病毒2009年北美变异株和H3N2亚型流行株的基因序列,设计了3套特异性引物、TaqMan探针,分别用不同的荧光基团标记,以构建的A型流感病毒及H1N1和H3N2亚型流感病毒基因重组质粒作为阳性对照,经反应条件优化,特异性、敏感性和重复性试验,筛选出3套不同的反应体系及同一个反应参数,建立了可同时检测A型流感病毒、H1N1和H3N2亚型流感病毒的实时荧光RT-PCR方法。结果表明,该方法可特异地检测H1N1(人源、猪源)、H3N2(猪源),禽流感病毒H5、H9等A型流感病毒,且与新城疫病毒、减蛋综合征病毒等其他病毒不发生交叉反应,具有特异、敏感、重复性好、快速、费用低廉等优点,试验耗时仅3h。表明,建立的方法,一次试验即可完成A型流感病毒的初筛和H1N1、H3N2亚型流感病毒的初步确认定型。     

Holding Back the Storm: Target Populations and State Climate Adaptation Planning in America

This paper investigates the landscape of state‐level adaptation planning in the United States. We answer three primary research questions: First, how are states planning for climate change? Second, who are states targeting for climate adaptation? Third, what tools are states using to motivate climate adaptation efforts? We develop and implement a coding scheme using Schneider and Ingram’s Social Construction Framework (SCF) to characterize variation in 2033 individual adaptation goals mentioned in all 14 American states with explicit adaptation plans. We use these data to understand the types of tools used to motivate different actors (governmental, private, nonprofit) to adapt to climate change. We find that the most frequent target of state adaptation planning is the state itself, which provides an opportunity to extend the SCF to a target group often not mentioned in public policy. Specifically, we find that states target themselves with mandates or tools designed to acquire information. Other stakeholders in adaptation are more likely to be the targets of capacity building tools. Private actors are the only population more likely to be targeted by incentives. The project expands the Social Construction Framework to include targets and tools of planning efforts. Practically, our article offers a methodology by which to compare the vastly heterogeneous efforts to adapt to climate change at the subnational level.     

On‐Bill Financing Programs to Support Low‐Carbon Energy Technologies: An Agent‐Oriented Assessment

On‐bill financing (OBF) schemes have been welcomed as innovative mechanisms for encouraging the adoption of low‐carbon energy technologies. Yet while the potential effects of these schemes have received growing attention, less is known about their actual performance. Departing from New Institutional Economics and insights from Behavioral Economics, this theory‐driven assessment examines the How$mart^® program in Kansas (United States) and the Green Deal in the United Kingdom. The study identifies the mechanisms designed to trigger behavioral change and technology adoption. We focus on market agents, and related market failures and behavioral anomalies that often prevent energy efficiency improvements. The paper adds to our theoretical and empirical understanding of public and utility‐driven OBF programs applied to the residential sector. Our findings suggest that simple, carefully designed on‐bill programs, where the financing of efficient technologies takes the form of a service rather than a loan, are more effective for the diffusion of low‐carbon energy technology and the reduction of transaction costs. At the same time, on bill‐financing schemes challenge the core business of utilities, and given the complexities and dynamics of energy efficiency markets and energy use, other policy interventions are needed.     

Agenda‐Setting at the Energy‐Water Nexus: Constructing and Maintaining a Policy Monopoly in U.S. Hydraulic Fracturing Regulation

Despite calls to increase federal oversight of hydraulic fracturing (HF), the U.S. Congress has maintained a regulatory system in which environmental regulatory authority is devolved to the states. We argue that this system is characterized by a long‐standing “policy monopoly”: a form of stability in policy agenda‐setting in which a specific manner of framing and regulating a policy issue becomes hegemonic. Integrating theories on agenda‐setting and environmental discourse analysis, we develop a nuanced conceptualization of policy monopoly that emphasizes the significance of regulatory history, public perceptions, industry–government relations, and environmental “storylines.” We evaluate how a policy monopoly in U.S. HF regulation has been constructed and maintained through a historical analysis of oil and gas regulation and a discourse analysis of eleven select congressional energy committee hearings. This research extends scholarship on agenda‐setting by better illuminating the importance of political economic and geographic factors shaping regulatory agendas and outcomes.     

The Role of Scientific Excellence in the Changing Meaning of Maize in Mexico

Making policy is giving a meaning to objects. This perspective on policy making gained importance in the 1990s with the emergence of discursive approaches. In this article, we use the concepts of Hajer's discourse coalition approach to shed light on the evolving meaning of maize in Mexican society. Specifically, we trace a parallel between the evolution of biotechnology policy and discourses on maize over a 25‐year period. The article argues that until recently, the protection against biotechnological manipulations enjoyed by maize has been bolstered by a discourse granting the plant a special status in the country's history. However, the emergence of a new discourse grounded on the practice of scientific excellence is now challenging the old perspectives, and also finding support among government officials. As a result, the Mexican policies granting maize special protection is changing, and this policy change will likely trigger changes in the symbolic meaning of maize.     

简论日本战后民族主义文学

日本战后的民族主义文学表现在对侵略战争的认知态度、对日本战败的屈辱感受和右翼民族主义的复兴。日本“战后派”的作品很少反省日本发动侵略战争的责任,相反还存在有意无意弱化甚至掩盖战争“侵略本质”的倾向。以林房雄为代表的右翼作家变本加厉,民族主义思想走向极端化和系统化。随着20世纪60、70年代的经济恢复和高速发展,日本当代文坛“集体失忆”,将目光转向个人内心的不安和日常生活,形成“反抗战后”的文学潮流。20世纪80年代以来,以石原慎太郎为代表的极右作家,强调民族精神,美化侵略战争,谋求世界霸权。战后日本文学民族主义的根底是日本民族优越论。     

Evaluation of the Enhanced Computational Methods of Estimating Age-at-Death Using the Pubic Symphyses of a White South African Population

To address problems of reproducibility related to current age estimation methods, the enhanced computational Methods (ECM) were previously developed using a sample of white North American male pubic symphyses and showed promise in improving current techniques. However, given the evidence of sex and population differences in the onset of age markers, this study set out to test the ECM on a white South African sample. The sample consisted of 184 well-preserved os coxae from individuals of known age and sex. Pubic symphyseal surfaces were scanned using the Artec Spider 3D scanner, processed using Artec Studio 10 and analyzed using forAge. Point estimates of age were then compared to the true age of each individual. Results indicate that the ECM performed poorly in a white South African population, with consistent underestimation of age-at-death and weak positive correlations with true age. Despite the low correlations, the ECM did, however, reduce observer error.
