Electron microscopy can provide a comprehensive characterization of solid samples, including morphology, structure, composition and even electronic properties, with a resolution down to the atomic level. This overview lecture covers the major techniques of electron microscopy as well as associated spectroscopy methods. In addition, ion microscopy for imaging and material manipulation is introduced. Based on electron-sample interactions, basic optics and instrumental aspects, various imaging and spectroscopy methods are discussed with respect to properties such as resolution, sensitivity and limits.The lecture can be either given in English or German, depending on the choice of the students.

Seminar Overview

This seminar is targeted at both Master of Science and Master of Business Research students with a broad interest in organization topics, especially with an empirical approach. The seminar will provide insights on scientific methods and the research process, focusing on applications in organization design and strategic organization research. After lecture sessions, students will work on a short proposal for a research project.

Seminar Goals

The seminar has three goals in the broad field of empirical organizations. First, students will learn to critically read academic papers, enabling them to assess causal empirical arguments. Second, they will learn how to develop research questions and how to make a contribution. Finally, they will get familiar with relevant research methods and will be able to develop a sound empirical research design to rigorously answer their research questions. We expect the seminar to be useful as a preparation for a master thesis or a PhD paper in the broad field of organization and its intersections with innovation or strategy research.

El curso Español II &  Expresión Oral y Escrita I  (Veranstaltungsnr. 13321) está dirigido a los estudiantes de español que aprobaron con éxito el nivel A2 (Español I) y que tienen el propósito de obtener el nivel B1 del MCER.

El objetivo central de este curso es proporcionar y entrenar al estudiante en las destrezas del habla escrita y oral del idioma ESPAÑOL / CASTELLANO a través de la enseñanza de la gramática del nivel correspondiente, complementada con temas de actualidad. De esa manera, los estudiantes al finalizar este curso deberán estar en capacidad de dominar diferentes discursos y escenarios comunicativos (dialogar, describir, narrar, opinar, comentar, resumir, acotar, discutir, sugerir, etc.) con fluidez y seguridad, tanto a nivel escrito como oral, de modo formal e informal, de manera espontánea o planificada.

El contenido del curso Español II sigue algunos temas sugeridos en el libro Universo.ele B1; y el curso de Expresión Oral y Escrita I se complementará además con temas y materiales adicionales, depositados en otros soportes mediáticos (videos, audios, etc.) que estarán a disposición a través de enlaces a internet que serán proporcionados en clase.  

La evaluación del curso Español II/ Expresión Oral y Escrita I  (Veranstaltungsnr. 13321) es a través de un único examen escrito (probablemente en este semestre: de modo presencial, 90 minutos) que se llevará a cabo en la primera semana después de finalizado el dictado de clases del semestre WS 21/22, es decir, entre el 14 y el 19 de febrero de 2022 (¡Atención a las fechas de "Voranmeldung"!).

An increasingly diverse student body and greater awareness for matters of gender and diversity present new tasks and challenges for the teaching staff at universities. The goal of the seminar is to help participants assemble their individual toolboxes for student-centered, gender-sensitive, and truly diverse teaching, testing and mentoring.

What does it mean to teach my content in a way that is suited for different backgrounds, learning-types, talents of students and their future fields of work and activities? How do I test students in ways that not only appropriately challenge them according to their abilities, but also give them opportunities to show their full potential? What changes will I need to make to provide diversity and gender-sensitive advice and mentoring to my students?

To answer these questions, the seminar takes four steps:
(1) Activities and discussions will help you reflect on your biases and prejudices and systematically review and further develop your role as lecturers.
(2) Inputs and exercises will introduce you to challenges of discrimination, such as microaggressions and how to address them and respond accordingly
(3) You can acquire skills in gender and diversity-sensitive communication which are key to providing a motivating and inspiring learning environment.
(4) We will use our collective knowledge, share our experiences, and create new ideas for actionable methods and tools that make your teaching, testing and mentoring more inclusive.

Contents:

• Reflecting on implicit biases, how they affect us and others and the way we teach
• Understanding structural and less visible forms of discrimination and how to counter them
• Acquiring gender- and diversity-sensitive communication skills

The seminar can be credited for the Zertifikat Hochschullehre Bayern and the Genderzertifikat Lehre.

Course description

This modular course provides students with the main insights into the methodology of economic experiments. Students will learn how economic experiments can help identify causal effects (via randomization) and thereby complement and advance other empirical methods.

We will discuss the different purposes of economic experiments as well as different types of economic experiments. Most emphasis is put on how to design economic experiments (e.g., within- vs. between-subjects designs, how and what to measure, how and on what level to randomize on, how to avoid potential selection or attrition, how to write instructions for lab and online experiments, etc.).

In different modules, we will discuss the measurement of preferences (e.g., risk, time, and social preferences), beliefs, and actions, and shed light on important methodological aspects (such as the use of multiple price lists, convex budget sets, and the strategy vs. the direct response method).

We will also discuss the process of planning and running an economic experiment (including preregistration, ethics approval, available programming / implementation options, data storage, and data privacy issues) and the principles of analyzing experimental data.

This course offers a critical introduction to hate speech and extreme speech, with a specific focus on the role of contemporary forms of digital communication. Hate speech and extreme speech have become a key concern for policy makers and state regulators, but it is important to examine its full scope as a global phenomenon with vast differences in context and political implications.  The key objective of this course is to take a global perspective on hate speech. The course tracks the definitions of hate speech, theoretical traditions that underpin them, and the limits of hate speech as a legal-regulatory discourse. Scanning various cognate frameworks such as dangerous speech, fear speech, hateful speech, and violent extremism that are used in understanding contemporary forms of aggressive and vitriolic speech, this course will introduce the ethnographically driven concept of “extreme speech”. We will study fake news, propaganda, Internet humor genres, rumor, racist speech, anti-minority speech, gender based violence, trolling, memes making, digital vigilantism, and xenophobic speech as different instances of extreme speech. At the same time, we will examine how extreme speech as subversive incivility has been instrumental in “talking against the authorities” in some cases. Finally, we will study different civil society, governmental and industry responses to hate speech. 

The course will draw upon the disciplinary traditions of media anthropology and communication studies. 

At the end of the course, students will

demonstrate knowledge of prominent debates concerning hate speech;

develop models to assess the role of digital communications in shaping hate speech and extreme speech;

recognize the vast variation in the production and implications of hate speech by using different global case studies;

develop skills to think about regulatory, civil society and political interventions in addressing hate speech.

Prerequisite

Readiness to engage with and analyze complex texts is expected. 

Wissentlich verbreitete Falschmel­dungen dienen der politischen Propaganda, sind gezielte Strategie der Desinformation und beeinflussen politische Entscheidungen. Nicht nur die Gegenwart, auch das Mittelalter bietet zahllose Beispiele für den manipulativen Umgang des Menschen mit dem Wahrheitsbegriff. Wie lässt sich mit Hilfe der grundwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen der Diplomatik, Paläografie, Sphragistik und Chronologie die Authentizität historischer Quellen überprüfen? Was war die Motivation der mittelalterlichen Fälscher? Und was passierte mit Fälschern, sofern deren Tun überhaupt zeitnah entdeckt wurde? Die Übung bietet unter anderem die Möglichkeit, anhand der Erkenntnisse der großen Regesten-Werke (Regesta Imperii) und kritischen Urkunden-Editionen (MGH) Fälschungsmerkmale an vorgeblichen Kaiser- und Königsurkunden nachzuvollziehen. Gelesen werden vor allem Urkunden, aber auch Gerichtsprotokolle.

In this course we will use classical tools in harmonic analysis to study nonlinear differential equations. In the first part, we will discuss some popular evolution equations such as heat equations, wave equations and Schrödinger equations where basic Fourier analysis tools are helpful. In the second part, we will focus on concrete models coming from fluid mechanics (e.g. Navier–Stokes and Euler equations) for which the Littlewood- Paley decomposition plays a prominent role.

The course is suitable for master students and motivated bachelor students. Prerequisites: Lebesgue integration and L^2 theory of the Fourier transform. Knowing some basic results from harmonic analysis (e.g. Maximal inequalities, Littlewood–Paley theory, ...) are helpful, but not mandatory since they will be recalled properly.

Die Übung dient (als eine von mehreren Veranstaltungen der Abteilung Mittelalterliche Geschichte) der Vorbereitung einer Apulien-Exkursion im September 2022. Im Rahmen der Übung setzen wir uns mit der Geschichte Apuliens anhand von Heiligen und ihrer Verehrung in "normannischer" Zeit auseinander, also grob dem 11. und 12. Jahrhundert. Hierunter fallen etwa die Etablierung des Nikolaus-Kults in Bari (im Jahr 1087 brachten Bareser Seeleute die Gebeine des Heiligen von der Insel Myra in ihre Heimatstadt), die in Konkurrenz dazu propagierten Kulte um Heilige an der Kathedrale von Bari oder im benachbarten Trani, das sehr viel ältere Heiligtum für den Erzengel Michael auf dem Gargano, aber auch "neue" Heilige im Zuge der Kirchenreform, vor allem die Kongregation um den Heiligen Johannes von Matera. Die Verehrung dieser Heiligen hat zahlreiche materielle Zeugnisse hinterlassen, vor allem natürlich in Form von Kirchen, aber auch liturgischen Kunstschätzen, die wir im Rahmen der Exkursion vor Ort besichtigen werden. 

Aufgrund der Quellenlage und des Forschungsstandes ist die Bereitschaft zur Arbeit mit lateinischen Quellen eine unbedingte Voraussetzung für den Besuch der Übung; Italienisch-Kenntnisse sind erwünscht, aber nicht zwingend erforderlich.

This practical “Human Computation and Analytics” aims at applying the techniques learned from the lectures and exercises of the course “Human Computation and Analytics”. During the practicum, students will solve problems currently faced in the industry and/or research programming projects.

For centuries before the Reconquista, and again today, Spain has had a particularly rich historical experience of religious pluralism and interaction among the three Abrahamic or monotheistic traditions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This experience offers resources for reflecting on the challenges and promises of religious pluralism in contemporary European cultures. We will consider these themes against the picturesque background of the walled city of Toledo, which was one of the early sites of the Reconquista.

The seminar will be led by faculty from the LMU Munich, from the Escuela de Traductores of Toledo, and from the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC) in Madrid. We expect to be able to reimburse all expenses of travel and accommodation. Students will be required to prepare an oral report to be delivered during the seminar, followed by a written version submitted later in the semester, if necessary for course credit.

If you are interested in participating, please send the following information to robertyelle@hotmail.com as soon as possible, but not later than February 7: name, course of study, registration status, and potential theme for an oral report. The report can be about any one or more of the three religious communities, their history in the area, interactions, and philosophical and religious ideas, especially regarding toleration. The course will be taught in English and the report may be given in German or English.

The site for such a discussion is especially appropriate: Toledo, a walled, medieval city in the heart of Spain, approximately one hour from Madrid. The capture of Toledo by Alfonso VI in 1085 marked a key point in the early Reconquista, which ended with the conquest of the last Muslim stronghold, Granada, in 1492. Toledo, a UNESCO World Heritage site, retains many architectural traces of its earlier Muslim and Jewish inhabitants, including some well-preserved medieval synagogues, as well as many splendid buildings constructed by Christians, including the Cathedral, which was built between the 13th and 16th centuries. The entire old city of Toledo is a sort of open-air museum that is compact enough to be explored on foot. The academic program will include visits to a number of the major sites in Toledo, and will allow the opportunity to explore the city on your own. A visit to Madrid may be added to the beginning or end of the excursion course at your own initiative and expense.

Topics:

1. Overview
2. ARMA processes
3. Estimation
4. Prediction
5. Structural analysis
6. Modeling nonstationary time series
7. Modeling time-varying parameters
8. GARCH

Target audience: Advanced students and PhD students in econometrics, statistics, VWL, BWL,  mathematics or computer science.

Prerequisites: Profound knowledge in matrix-algebra and econometrics (econometrics I) or statistics (linear models). Basic knowledge in univariate time series analysis is not demanded but of advantage.

Record of achievement: This course consists of two parts. The first part of „Multivariate Time Series Analysis“ is equivalent to the lecture „Multivariate Zeitreihen/Multivariate Time Series“ (3 ECTS-Credits) for statisticians; the second part can be recognised as „Ausgewählte Gebiete der theoretischen Statistik B/Selected Topics in theoretic Statistics B“ (3 ECTS-Credits). For each part there will be a separate exam that takes one hour. That is, you only have to attend the first part (see below) of the course if you want to obtain credit points for the course “Multivariate Zeitreihen”. Apart from that, the whole course is equivalent to "Time-Series Econometrics" and counts as a class for Ph.D. candidates in economics. Both exams constitute the exam you have to pass in order to obtain the "Schein" for "Time-Series Econometrics".

Altogether, there are 5 problem sets in the tutorial. Problem sheets 1, 2 (theoretical properties of VAR(p) processes), and 4 (estimation of VAR(p) processes) belong to the first part „Multivariate Zeitreihen“. Problem sheets 3 (granger-causality, impulse-response-analysis, innovations accounting) and 5 (integrated and cointegrated processes) are relevant for the second part.

Die Nacht war ein ambivalentes Phänomen. Einerseits: Dunkelheit und Stille konnten sie zum Ort des Unheimlichen machen, religiöses Denken machte sie zum Ort der Transzedenz, Policeyordnungen reglementierten gesellschaftliches nächtliches Leben, um Ordnung und Sicherheit in dieser obskuren Tageszeit zu ermöglichen, Nachtwächter patroullierten durch die Gassen. Andererseits und vermehrt ab dem 17. Jahrhundert wurde die Nacht besonders durch die Höfische Gesellschaft neu funktionalisiet: Feste wurden gefeiert, Wachsamkeit propagiert, Beleuchtung ermöglichte Zusammenkünfte. Kurzum die Gesellschaft unterlag - laut Craig Koslofsky - einer "nocturnalization". Wie die Menschen des 18. Jahrhunderts, besonders die Höfische Gesellschaft, die Nacht nutzten, welche technischen Entwicklungen und politisch-gesellschaftliche Veränderungen damit einhergingen, wie sich die nocturnalization auf Raum und Zeit, Politik und Gesellschaft auswirkten untersucht das Seminar. Spezifisches Vorhaben des Seminars ist es, diese Entwicklungen in einen forschungspraktischen, methodischen Rahmen einzubinden (Schloss und spatial turn; Höfische Gesellschaft und Praktiken; Vergesellschaftungsthese usw.).

The philosophy of meditation is a profound exploration that integrates philosophical reflection with meditative practice, aiming to understand and experience inner peace, awareness, and wisdom. Key issues in this field include the nature of consciousness, the self, the meaning of existence, and how humans can achieve inner harmony through meditation.

A central focus of this course is the exploration of “consciousness.” In many traditional philosophical systems, consciousness is regarded as the deepest dimension of human existence. Meditation offers a means by which we can reinterpret the foundation of consciousness. For instance, is consciousness in a meditative state, or pure awareness, still characterized by the subject-object structure of consciousness and subjectivity? We will explore these questions philosophically through an examination of relevant readings.

During meditation, many philosophers have delved into concepts such as non-self (anatta) or emptiness (Sunyata). These ideas, originating from Buddhist philosophy, propose that our perception of self is an illusion. In this course, we will analyze these concepts and combine them with practical meditation exercises to assess, both experientially and logically, whether such theories hold validity.

Additionally, the course delves into the deeper meaning of “being.” Many meditation reports suggest that through meditation, individuals can more intuitively sense that their existence is interconnected with the world. We will evaluate this assertion philosophically.

With this video course we want to support you in preparing for the review meeting of your research proposal. The course gives you step by step hands-on advice on all aspects of your presentation. As a result, your presentation including the slides will be ready. You will be equipped with rhetorical and technical skills and feel well prepared for the questions in the interview.
