Stuttgart is one of the four administrative districts (Regierungsbezirke) of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, located in the north-east of the state of Baden-Württemberg, in the southwestern part of Germany. It is sub-divided into the three regions: Heilbronn-Franken, Ostwürttemberg and Stuttgart.The districts of Böblingen, Esslingen, Ludwigsburg, Rems-Murr and Göppingen form with the city of Stuttgart the Verband Region Stuttgart with a directly elected regional assembly (Regionalversammlung)..
Skull injuries, especially those caused by interpersonal violence, are not uncommon in archaeological contexts. However, depending on the state of preservation of the skeletal material, it can be difficult to determine the cause of the injury. In the present case of a Corded Ware double burial from Knittlingen (Baden-W & uuml;rttemberg, Germany), the analysis of a healed trepanation and an unhealed blunt force trauma is relatively conclusive. However, due to the dimensions of the injury, none of the customary weapons appear to be a suitable candidate. For this reason, the hitherto ignored object group of bone chisels was taken into focus and examined for its suitability as weapons. As a result, the polished cutting edge in combination with the average muscular strength of an adult seems indeed to be sufficient to cause fractures to the skull. Nevertheless, it would be premature to interpret bone chisels from the Corded Ware culture as weapons in general, as only the present case is known so far. It therefore seems much more likely at present that in the case of Knittlingen a bone chisel was used as an accidental weapon-tool.
The digital transformation of land administration services in Indonesia through the Electronic Land Certificate Program represents a strategic government initiative aimed at improving efficiency, transparency, and legal certainty, as regulated under the Ministerial Regulation of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) No. 3 of 2023. However, its implementation faces multifaceted complexities and challenges at the local level. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the implementation of the electronic land certificate program across four prioritized land offices: Sleman, Bogor I, Bogor II, and Buleleng—by identifying common patterns and specific differences in encountered issues and applied strategies. A descriptive qualitative approach with a comparative case study method was employed. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis at each location. The findings reveal shared challenges, including poor data quality, limited human resources, suboptimal information technology infrastructure, and constrained policy and budget dynamics. Nonetheless, differences arise across local contexts: Sleman highlights case backlogs; Bogor I focuses on media conversion issues; Bogor II emphasizes the relationship between data quality and implementation effectiveness; while Buleleng centers on post-disaster archival reconstruction strategies. This research contributes to a more profound understanding of regional implementation gaps and offers adaptive policy recommendations to accelerate sustainable digital transformation within Indonesia’s national land administration system.
Retention area Weil-Breisach: nature as a model // The Weil-Breisach retention area represents a special feature among the 13 retention areas of the Integrated Rhine Program between Basel and Mannheim. By lowering the Rhine shores, new floodplains for flood protection are being created. Nature not only provided the key impulses for technical planning but also created the opportunity to partially return the human-modified alluvial landscapes of the Rhine back to their original wild streams and meanders.
