Degradation of plastic waste using newly developed biocatalysts

The plastic materials polyurethane and polyvinyl alcohol can now be degraded under mild conditions with the help of enzymes as biocatalysts.

Scientists from the University of Greifswald have developed corresponding methods together with the German company Covestro and teams from Leipzig and Dublin, as recently published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition in two separate articles. It has thus been possible to establish a sustainable and environmentally-friendly process to recycle these polymers.

This helps to address the worldwide problem of plastic waste based on the example of these two synthetic polymers, which are produced industrially at large scale.

Plastics are currently indispensable for the production of construction materials, electric insulation, drinks and food packaging, textiles and many more applications. Unfortunately, the mass production of synthetic polymers, especially for packaging materials, has led to an enormous waste problem for the environment. The polymers polyurethane and polyvinyl alcohol contribute to approximately 8 percent of the European plastic production.

Medieval Curse Tablet Summoning Satan Discovered in Germany

In Germany, archaeologists have found a rolled-up piece of lead that they believe might be a medieval “curse tablet” calling upon “Beelzebub,” also known as Satan.

At first sight, the researchers believed the “unremarkable piece of metal” was just discarded material. This conclusion was drawn because the item was discovered at the base of a latrine at a construction site in Rostock, a city in northern Germany, as stated in a translated document.

Artifact containing a curse summoning Satan and evil spirits

Nevertheless, when they unfolded it, archaeologists discovered that the 15th-century artifact bore a mysterious message inscribed in Gothic minuscule, which was barely discernible without close inspection. The message read, “sathanas taleke belzebuk hinrik berith.”

The researchers interpreted the text as a curse aimed at a woman named Taleke and a man named Hinrik (Heinrich). The curse invoked Beelzebub (another name for Satan) and Berith (a demonic spirit). Without a close examination, the mysterious message would not have been identified.

Even though the researchers may never uncover the identities of Taleke and Heinrich, they have suggested possible reasons for the animosity.

In their statement, the researchers pondered whether someone wanted to disrupt Taleke and Heinrich’s connection or if this was driven by rejected love and jealousy, with someone trying to interfere.

Similar curse tablets discovered from Greek and Roman sites

The archaeologists emphasized the uniqueness of their discovery. Jörg Ansorge, an archaeologist from the University of Greifswald in Germany leading the excavation, highlighted this point.

He stated that this finding is exceptional, especially considering that similar ‘curse tablets‘ are well-documented from ancient times in the Greek and Roman regions spanning from 800 B.C. to A.D. 600.

Ansorge provided examples to illustrate the historical context. He mentioned a 1,500-year-old lead tablet discovered in what is now Israel, inscribed in Greek, invoking demons to harm a rival dancer.

Additionally, he referred to 2,400-year-old tablets found in Greece that sought the intervention of underworld gods to target several tavern keepers. Ansorge remarked, “Our discovery, on the other hand, can be dated to the 15th century.” “This is truly a very special find.”

The researchers weren’t taken aback to locate the artifact in a latrine. They explained that curse tablets were strategically placed in obscure locations, like the bottom of latrines, intentionally making them hard or even impossible to find. This ensured that those who were cursed couldn’t easily uncover the tablets.

Love Magic in Ancient Greece and Rome

The practice of magic with spells, charms, erotic dolls was widespread in ancient Greece and Rome. Although it was discouraged and sometimes even punished in antiquity, it thrived all the same. Authorities publicly condemned it but tended to ignore its powerful hold.

A leading discount supermarket in Germany has raised the prices of a selection of its products to reflect their real cost on people’s health and the environment.

In a week-long experiment in all 2,150 branches of the Penny chain, a range of nine products, mainly dairy and meat, will be priced at what experts from two universities have deemed to be their true cost, in relation to their effect on soil, climate, water use and health.

The “wahre Kosten” or “real costs” campaign has seen the price of wiener sausages rise from €3.19 to €6.01, mozzarella go up by 74% to €1.55, and fruit yoghurt increase by 31% from €1.19 to €1.56.

The awareness promotion week is taking place in conjunction with academics from the Nuremberg Institute of Technology and the University of Greifswald, and was triggered by the conviction among consumer researchers that price tags in supermarkets in no way reflect the true environmental or long-term health costs of producing the foodstuffs and getting them on to retailers’ shelves.

Included are a range of foods from cheese and other dairy products to processed meats such as sausages, as well as vegan meat replacements such as vegan schnitzels (which were given a moderate 5% increase). Wiener sausages and the popular maasdamer cheese, which has risen by 94% to €4.84, are among the items to go up most in price. Regarding the cheese, the scientists calculated hidden costs of 85 cents for climate-harming emissions such as methane and CO2, as well as 76 cents for damage to the soil from intensive farming and animal feed production, 63 cents for the effect of pesticides used, including their impact on the health of farmers, as well as 10 cents for pollution of groundwater through the use of fertiliser.

The discounter has said it will donate the excess proceeds it makes from the sales, without commenting on whether it was prepared to take a knock in profits. The charity Zukunftsbauer or Future Farmer, which supports family-run farms in Alpine regions, many of which are increasingly struggling to survive amid low returns or sometimes even making losses on their produce, will be the beneficiary.

16th Century German Poet: Ulrich von Hutten

Ulrich von Hutten (1488–1523) remains one of the most fascinating figures of the German Renaissance—a poet, scholar, and ardent reformer whose works and ideas spurred the German literary and intellectual movement in the early 16th century. While often recognized for his fervent support of Martin Luther’s Reformation, Hutten’s contributions to German literature, especially his poetic works, provide a profound insight into his artistic mind and cultural vision. This article will examine Hutten’s life and contributions to literature from multiple perspectives: Early Life and Education, Literary Career, Themes and Style, Nature vs. Modernity, Emotional Depth, Innovative Structure, Notable Poems, Influence on German Literature, and Legacy.

Early Life and Education

Born in 1488 in the castle of Steckelberg, near Fulda, Germany, Ulrich von Hutten was part of a noble family. From a young age, Hutten exhibited intellectual curiosity and a thirst for learning, which led him away from his family’s military ambitions for him. Instead, he was sent to the Benedictine monastery at Fulda with hopes he would enter the clergy. However, Hutten’s rebellious spirit and interest in secular literature quickly became apparent, and he left the monastery without taking vows.

In pursuit of a broader education, Hutten traveled to universities across Europe, studying in Cologne, Erfurt, Leipzig, and Greifswald. He became part of the burgeoning Humanist movement, which celebrated the revival of classical texts, critical inquiry, and the role of reason in society. Through his travels and connections with other intellectuals, Hutten developed a profound admiration for the works of ancient Greek and Roman authors, especially Cicero, Horace, and Virgil, whose influence would later shape his own poetic works.

Literary Career

Hutten’s literary career blossomed alongside his political activism. He was passionate about using poetry as a means to communicate his revolutionary ideas, satirize the Catholic Church, and encourage social and political reform in Germany. His poetic works, written in both Latin and German, began to attract attention from scholars and reformers across Europe.

His career also involved significant participation in the Epistolae Obscurorum Virorum (“Letters of Obscure Men”), a satirical work that ridiculed the clerical establishment and championed Humanism. This work, while primarily prose, demonstrated Hutten’s keen wit and flair for polemics. It was widely read and became influential in spreading anti-clerical sentiment throughout Germany.

Themes and Style

Hutten’s poetry often centered on themes of liberty, virtue, and reform. As a humanist, he believed in the power of individual reason and moral responsibility, and these convictions shaped much of his work. He sought to promote a Germany free from what he saw as the corruption of the Catholic Church, and his writings often conveyed his disdain for clerical hypocrisy and the political authority of the Holy Roman Empire.

Stylistically, Hutten’s poetry combined the classical elegance of Latin verse with the forceful clarity of the German vernacular. He embraced various forms of satire, epistle, and allegory, allowing his poetry to address both personal and political subjects. His style, though grounded in classical structures, conveyed the directness and urgency characteristic of his era.

Nature vs. Modernity

The clash between nature and modernity is a recurring theme in Hutten’s work. Unlike many of his contemporaries who glorified nature as a pure, untouched ideal, Hutten viewed it in contrast to the corruptions of modern society. His poetry often illustrates nature as an unchanging, moral force against which human society could measure its own failings.

In his critique of urban life and the decay he saw within institutions, Hutten’s works present nature as a bastion of purity that mankind’s misguided pursuits threaten. His view of nature diverged from the pastoral ideal common among poets of the time, instead portraying it as a symbolic mirror to highlight the flaws in German society.

Emotional Depth

Ulrich von Hutten’s poems reveal a remarkable emotional depth, particularly in their exploration of conflict, despair, and hope. Through his words, Hutten gave voice to the existential angst of an individual torn between personal ideals and the realities of his world. The emotional tenor of his works ranges from indignation at societal corruption to profound sorrow over the loss of his compatriots and friends who fell victim to political oppression or warfare.

His emotional range also extended to his hopes for a united, reformed Germany. In a time when political unity was a distant dream, Hutten’s works conveyed his longing for a nation free from foreign influence and clerical domination. This emotional fervor underscored his poems and prose, inspiring a sense of patriotism in many readers.

Innovative Structure

Structurally, Hutten’s poetry is known for its variety and innovation. He experimented with classical forms, including odes, elegies, and epistles, infusing them with his distinct voice. His compositions in Latin reflected his classical training, yet he also embraced the vernacular to reach a broader audience.

By blending satire with lyricism, Hutten created a poetic form that was at once forceful and accessible. His ability to incorporate rhetorical questions, vivid imagery, and biting irony within classical forms marked a significant departure from his contemporaries, who often adhered strictly to traditional verse.

Notable Poems

Some of Hutten’s most recognized works include Ad Carolum V and In Gallos. The first poem addresses the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, urging him to protect Germany from external forces and urging the emperor to support national sovereignty and independence. This poem exemplifies Hutten’s patriotic zeal, showcasing his call for a unified, strong Germany.

In In Gallos (“Against the French”), Hutten directs his critique towards France, reflecting his opposition to foreign interference in German affairs. This poem, charged with nationalist fervor, resonated deeply with German audiences, who saw in Hutten’s words a rallying cry against external control.

Influence on German Literature

Hutten’s contributions to German literature are immense. His advocacy for using the German language in literary and intellectual discourse laid the groundwork for a vernacular literature that could stand alongside Latin works. Hutten’s works bridged the gap between the medieval and the modern, inspiring future generations of poets, writers, and thinkers.

He is often seen as a precursor to later German nationalist and literary movements, especially those in the 18th and 19th centuries. Figures such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller acknowledged Hutten’s influence on their own writings, particularly his bold approach to addressing political and social issues within his poetry.

Legacy

Ulrich von Hutten’s legacy endures as both a poet and a reformer. While his life was cut short due to illness and persecution—he died in isolation at the age of 35—his works continue to resonate with readers who appreciate his commitment to truth, justice, and reform. In the centuries that followed, Hutten’s life and writings have been celebrated as symbols of German independence, intellectual courage, and the power of poetry to inspire social change.

Hutten’s literary contributions have also earned him a place in Germany’s cultural memory, and his efforts to promote the use of the vernacular had lasting implications for German literature. Today, Hutten is remembered not only as a poet but as a transformative figure in German history, one whose passion for reform and poetic skill left an indelible mark on his homeland and beyond.

Conclusion

Ulrich von Hutten’s life and work encapsulate the spirit of the German Renaissance—a period defined by intellectual exploration, artistic innovation, and social upheaval. His poetry, infused with political fervor, classical influences, and personal conviction, offers a window into a pivotal era of European history. His legacy, both literary and cultural, affirms his place among the great voices of his time, a poet whose words continue to inspire and resonate across centuries.

Better understanding the bonds between carbon group elements

The bonds between clusters of elements in the fourteenth group of the periodic table are known to be fickle. Ranging from the nonmetal carbon, to the metalloids silicon and germanium, to the metals tin and lead, all these elements share the same configuration of valence electrons—electrons in their atoms' outermost energy level.

However, clusters formed from these elements respond differently to being excited with laser pulses. Studying the response of atomic clusters to photoexcitation as a function of the element they are composed of and their number of atoms reveals patterns that can be used to gain insight into their structure and binding mechanisms.

In a new paper in the European Physical Journal D, Paul Fischer and colleagues from the University of Greifswald in Germany reveal that, generally, the atomic bonds of carbon group clusters change from covalent to metallic when moving down the group.

To determine this, the researchers irradiated a solid target in vacuum using a pulsed laser, producing neutral and charged gas-phase atoms and clusters. Storing the charged particles in an electrostatic ion trap composed of two opposing ion-optical mirrors made it possible to separate them according to their mass-to-charge ratio with high resolution. The researchers then used a second pulsed laser to excite selected chemical species, revealing how the bonds across the group differ.

Public authorities as role models

The use of ecologically produced materials is also gaining in importance in construction. An alliance for sustainable building now wants to speed up the process in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

The economy in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania[1] has called on the federal, state and local authorities to set a good example in ecological and sustainable construction. According to contract award statistics, only just under six percent of public construction contracts nationwide in the first half of 2021 were tied to sustainability criteria. A share of little more than ten percent can be expected for 2022. "There is still room for improvement," emphasized the President of the MV Chamber of Architects, Christoph Meyn, recently in Schwerin[2].

The occasion was the presentation of concrete recommendations for action by the Alliance for Sustainable Building in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania[3], that was founded in October 2022. In addition to the Chamber of Architects and Engineers, its members include the State Building Association[4], the Chambers of Crafts and Industry and Commerce, the BUND environmental protection organisation[5] and universities and colleges in the North-East.[6]

The alliance calls for better legal framework conditions for the introduction and use of ecological building materials. The consistent use of sustainable building and insulation materials is intended to reduce the heat and electricity requirements of buildings. By promoting regional material cycles for components and materials, the use of building materials should be reduced and added value in the state increased. In addition, the qualification of personnel in construction companies and planning offices as well as in authorities is to be promoted.

Instead of insulating panels made of Styrofoam or glass fibres, natural materials such as wood fibres, seaweed, straw or hemp should be used more, said the President of the Chamber of Engineers, Gesa Haroske. In addition, it is important to process building materials and reuse them for future generations, taking into account the limited resources and burdens. "Today's students are demanding sustainable construction," she said. Awareness of this is growing.

"We can only build more ecologically if we move from talking to doing business," warned the general manager of the Schwerin Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Siegbert Eisenach. Possibilities for this should be shown to the industry and at the same time ways should be opened up to the latter to make it fit for the future. "We want to be a pioneer here in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania," said Eisenach. The transformation and many different interests, but inevitable. "This path will not be easy," admitted Eisenach.

According to Meyns, the increasing costs for energy, transport and recycling must also be taken into account in future construction. "This has long been an issue for companies, and builders are asking about it more and more," he said. Recently, the federal government's plans for a new heating law had caused heated debates because homeowners feared major financial burdens with the originally planned specifications for the conversion to emission-free heating systems.
