In letzter Zeit werden in der Presse einiger osteuropäischer Länder Fragen des Gesundheitszustands der Bevölkerung und dessen ständige Verbesserung des öfteren behandelt. So betonte zum Beispiel die Moskauer „Prawda" (16. 3.1971) einerseits das hohe Gesundheitsniveau der Bevölkerung, machte aber gleichzeitig auf die Schwierigkeiten aufmerksam, auf die der Gesundheitsschutz durch die schädlichen Umweltbedingungen stößt. Die Probleme in andern osteuropäischen Ländern sind ähnlich, worüber die beiden Dokumente aus Polen Aufschluß geben. In Jugoslawien wird die Gesundheitsfürsorge durch die Verhältnisse in einigen unterentwickelten Gebieten zum Teil noch zusätzlich erschwert.

Keywords: postmodernism; trauma; melancholia; narrative; Gundega Repše;
The article discusses the cultural and narratological aspects of melancholic understanding of history in postmodern Latvian fiction. The first part of the study offers a brief overview of Latvian fiction of the 1990s and early 2000s with a special attention to the interrelated questions of history, trauma, and representation. The second part shifts from cultural contextualization to defining melancholic temporality and highlighting narrative ways of expressing it in fiction which addresses trauma, collective and individual, from a posttraumatic place in time. The third part analyzes the indirect and disjointed engagement with Soviet occupation in Gundega Repše’s novel Conjuring Iron (2011). This is done by focusing on the poetics of unnarrated as a sign of prolonged mourning and by thinking about the epistemology of a fragment.

Keywords: Białystok; change of street designations; hodonym; Nazi dictatorship; World War II
Street names not only have a topographical-spatial orientation function, but also reflect history and are a political and cultural tool. At the time of the National Socialist dictatorship, street and place names were changed in Germany. Also in the cities of then occupied Poland many streets and squares were renamed during the Second World War. The article aims to present the manner in which streets and squares in Białystok were named during World War II. An attempt is made to determine whichfunctions can be observed in “new” urban designations.

Keywords: Reformation; Romanticism; Martin Luther; New view on history; Woman and Reformation; Specific gender research; Gendering historiography; Angelika Epple; Emancipation of woman and Jews;
The article tries to illustrate how changed the view on history and the understanding of history using the example of Reformation in the 16th century and Romanticism in the 19th century in Middle and Western Europe. The new perspectives are on the one hand a result of research projects about the gender role in history and historiography, on the other hand, a result of women’s emancipation in the early modern times and later. We learn to understand the Reformation also as a spiritual process with great influence on daily life and as an important step for the history of women’s emancipation. A new view on history during the epoch of Romanticism is not at least a result of Schleiermachers theology and is a strong connection with the so-called „Historism”. A great influence had the new culture of „Salons” in the urban society, also an example for women’s emancipation and at the same time for the emancipation of Jews. In an attachment is a focus of Johanna Schopenhauer and her significance for the new view a history and for new historical narratives in a „gendering historiography”.

Keywords: last wills; Teutonic Order; late medieval Prussia
The study includes an edition of two source texts from the Secret State Archives Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation in Berlin‑Dahlem (Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz) regarding the wills and testaments of a spitler in Pasłęk Hans Osterreich from 1453 and a pfleger in Lochstädt Hans von Köckeritz from around 1476. Unfortunately, preserved source texts of this type are sparse. This is why historians’ research into last wills is focused mainly on wills and testaments drawn up by townspeople. Both texts illustrate both the very procedurę of drawing up a will and testament by people appointed by the Teutonic Order, which required the approval of the Grand Master (the spitler), as well as specific information about the personal assets of the Order’s officials and their social environment (the pfleger). Because of this they could be important for further research into the functioning of the lower offices of the Order and the changes in the way of enforcing the principles of the possession and management of personal property by people serving these functions.

In this article, we undertake to examine the nonce-words of times of crisis in the German-language print media, since such shattering, unpredictable, and unusual phenomena as social crises prompt linguistic creation. As crisis we consider social events of the new era such as political protests worldwide, the reunification of Germany in 1989-1990, terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001, banking and financial crisis in 2009, as well as the corona pandemic in 2019-2021. All these phenomena have contributed to the creation of unique, new occurrences and terms, which over time have either passed into the vocabulary inventory of the German language (neologisms) or have remained as one-time formations on the periphery of the lexicon (nonce-words). In any case, at the time of their formation, these linguistic units were registered in form of a nonce-word. Nonce-words of the crisis periods are examined from the perspective of word formation and frequency of word-forming elements, textual function, thematic fields and frequency in print media. Of course, nouns represent a high proportion of nonce words in media texts, e.g. Skymarshal, Waterboarding, Kreditklemme, Coronamoral, Krisenfutter etc., however, nonce adjectives and verbs that occur less frequently are also of great interest to linguistic researchers, e.g. coronamüde, postpandemisch, coronisieren etc. In the present research will be focused on the journalistic articles in German language media such as “Die Zeit”, “Der Spiegel”, the Digital Dictionary of the German Language (DWDS) will be used as a further word information system. The identified nonce-words enhance the vocabulary expansion and enrichment of expressive possibilities in contemporary German and also show the diversity of word formation processes in German. This emphasizes the importance of research on nonce-words in modern linguistics.

Keywords: ICT; techno-pedagogical teaching; 21st century skills; TPACK; questionnaire validation;
Computers, communication, and internet technologies have led to significant changes in learning and teaching. The constructivist approach in education puts learners at the center of the teaching process and actively makes them construct their knowledge, developing 21st century skills required for tomorrow’s world. Despite advances in the process of integrating technology into teaching, a significant gap still exists between promise and actual reality. Implementation of computer technologies depends on many complex factors, one of which is teachers’ perceptions of assimilating computerization into their teaching methods. This research is part of a broader study examining techno-pedagogical change in a high school in Israel. The current study focuses on the process of constructing, testing, and validating a questionnaire examining teachers’ attitudes toward pedagogical innovation and assimilating technological skills into teaching. The validation process was done by an exploratory factor analysis to detect cases with low variability and explore the dimensionality of each survey instrument. This was complemented by a confirmatory phase. The results showed high reliability and stable dimensions in the instruments. This study's importance is in constructing an original instrument that examines the extent to which high school teachers adopt innovative pedagogies assimilating technological tools. This study may have a universal contribution because the instrument can be used across countries and cultures.

Keywords: Judicial Behaviour; Judicial Decisionmaking; Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic; Justices; Extra-legal Factors; Public Opinion;Media;
The review introduces the book to the reader, highlights limitations of its methodological approach based on interviews with Justices, and places the conclusions in a broader context. The authors have successfully managed to apply Dyevre’s model to the conditions of the Czech Constitutional Court and at the same time summarise everything that has been written about the decision-making processes of the Constitutional Court. This has set the stage for further research, which should take a different path than refining Dyevre’s model. The search for concrete examples of the influence of extra-legal influences or the correction of theoretical assumptions by quantitative methods is suggested.
