Die Textilindustrie hatte sehr viel Zeit um die Industrielandschaften der Großregion zu verändern, denn sie ist eine der sehr frühzeitig industrialisierten wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten. Sie entstand oft auf proto-industrieller Basis, wurde bereits sehr früh in fast all ihren Sektoren mechanisiert (von der Spinnerei über die Weberei, das Färben, das Bleichen und das Bedrucken bis hin zur Konfektion) und lässt auf diese Art manchmal große Industriezusammenschlüsse entstehen, die neben bescheidener gebliebenen Niederlassungen beeindrucken. Dieser Pioniersektor wird heute in Europa oft als Aktivität der Vergangenheit angesehen, deren wichtigste Bereiche in südliche Länder mit billigeren Arbeitskräften ausgelagert wurden. Doch auch wenn die Textilindustrie in der Großregion ein Bild von mehr oder weniger gut umgewandelten und im Sinne des kulturellen Erbes zur Geltung gebrachten Hinterlassenschaften abgibt, so ist sie auch und noch immer ein aktiver Sektor, orientiert in Richtung industrieller Marktnischen oder der Herstellung hochwertiger Produkte. Diese innovativen Produktionen erfolgen oft in modernen Gebäuden, die sich abheben vom Klischee der Textilfabriken in Shedbauweise mit auffallenden hohen Backsteinschloten. [less ▲]

Intergenerational value transmission occurs widely and to a large extent within the family as primary socialization agent. In families, children are confronted with specific practices, paradigms, rules and routines which are part of their family culture (Albert & Barros Coimbra, 2017) and as such family is a mediator between societal/cultural and individual values. The ability to transmit values is essential for collective knowledge and memory, the continuity of value orientations being a main feature of intergenerational relations that enables members of different generations to communicate with each other (Barni, Rosnati, & Ranieri, 2013; Halbwachs, 1941/1992; Schönpflug, 2001). Intergenerational transmission of values becomes particularly complex in the context of migration or in times of rapid social change. On the one hand, family identity and traditions might provide a secure base in light of a changing context, and parents might find it important to transmit traditional values to the next generation in order to keep memories alive. At the same time, they might feel that their children should adapt to the changed cultural context, resulting in a (not always clear) dilemma about what they want for their children. How can migrant parents reconcile or move between the different collective frameworks of their culture of origin and the receiving culture (Middleton & Brown, 2005)? In the following, we will first give a brief overview over research in the area of intergenerational value transmission, and we will second illustrate and further inform our theoretical assumptions by identifying related themes and phenomena in our qualitative dyadic interviews. Then, we will delve into memory as a horizon that is emerging out of the analysis as a transversal theme. From this point of view, we continue the analysis and progressively integrate the notions pertaining to the role of memory in the intergenerational transmission of values. Aspects of cultural background are apparent in the excerpts that we will quote supporting the themes we will refer to. We will more explicitly return to this in our conclusions. [less ▲]

The Effect of the German Accounting Law Modernization Act (BilMoG) on the Earnings Quality of Private Firms

The 2009 Accounting Law Modernization Act (BilMoG) had a considerable impact on German accounting principles, especially in terms of tax regulations, recognition, and measurement options. This paper analyzes whether these changes have had a positive effect on the quality of earnings reported in German financial statements. We find that earnings management significantly decreased after the implementation of BilMoG. This study is the first to examine potential improvements on earnings quality as a result of BilMoG. Our results indicate that in the run-up to the reform, legislators effectively aligned domestic accounting standards with IFRS principles, which led to improved transparency within financial reporting.

Very young red blood cells, namely reticulocytes, can be quite easily recognized and labeled by cluster of differentiation antibodies (CD71 transferrin receptor) or by staining remnant RNA with thiazol orange. In contrast, age specific erythrocyte labeling is more difficult in later periods of their life time. While erythrocytes contain band 4.1 protein a molecular clock, so far it has not been possible to read this clock on individual cells. One concept to track erythrocytes during their life time is to mark them when they are young, either directly in vivo or ex vivo followed by a transfusion. Several methods like biotinylation, use of isotopes or fluorescent labeling have proved to be useful experimental approaches but also have several inherent disadvantages. Genetic engineering of mice provides additional options to express fluorescent proteins in erythrocytes. To allow co-staining with popular green fluorescent dyes like Fluo-4 or other fluorescein-based dyes, we bred a mouse line expressing a tandem red fluorescent protein (tdRFP). Within this Brief Research Report, we provide the initial characterisation of this mouse line and show application examples ranging from transfusion experiments and intravital microscopy to multicolour flow cytometry and confocal imaging. We provide a versatile new tool for erythrocyte research and discuss a range of experimental opportunities to study membrane processes and other aspects of erythrocyte development and aging with help of these animals.
