This Symposium, the first devoted entirely to the measurement and the role of magnetic fields in the non-solar Universe, was held in Heidelberg, on June 19-23, 1989. The meeting began with review talks on magnetic phenomena near the solar photosphere, corona, and in stellar winds, since these nearby "laboratories", studied for many years, provide much of the prior knowl edge of magnetic effects in astrophysical plasmas. The Symposium contained presentations of considerable new work concerning the role of magnetic fields in accretion disks, bipolar outflows, and related magnetic phenomena in molecular clouds and star forming regions. Both observa tions and related theory of the large-scale magnetic fields in the Milky Way were covered, in addition to a session on the more general theme of magnetohydrodynamics of galactic magnetic fields. Dynamo mechanisms were discussed in considerable detail. It was apparent that recent observational data on polarized emission from external galaxies are now of sufficiently high quality that meaningful tests of large-scale field amplification, and of ideas on the origin of galactic magnetic fields, can be undertaken. Both new observations and numerical simulation work were described in the context of active galaxy nuclei, supernova remnants, radio source jets and extended lobes, and also in the environment of galaxy clusters. Recent large-scale computer simulations incorporating magnetic fields in star formation, radio source jets, and many other phenomena were presented, and much of this was very new.

Additional text

Die hier vorgelegte Allgemeine Pädagogik entwickelt für die in Einzeldisziplinen
gegliederte und in Einzeltätigkeiten ausdifferenzierte Pädagogik einen
systematisch und problemgeschichtlich ausgewiesenen pädagogischen Grundgedankengang.
Ausgehend von einem philosophischen Begriff menschlichen Handelns, der
in der Freiheit, Sprachlichkeit und Geschichtlichkeit menschlicher Existenz
und Koexistenz begründet ist, werden konstitutive und regulative Prinzipien
pädagogischen Denkens und Handelns vorgestellt, die für die Hauptfragestellungen
pädagogischer Handlungstheorie und die Grundformen pädagogischen Handelns
gleichermaßen fundierend sind. Im einzelnen wird dies für die Theorie der
Erziehung, die Theorie der Bildung und die Theorie pädagogischer Institutionen
nachgewiesen. Abschließend wird zwischen Erziehung als einem sich selbst
negierenden Gewaltverhältnis, Erziehung durch Unterricht und im Übergang
zu intergenerationellem Handeln unterschieden und gezeigt, daß jede dieser
Grundformen einer erziehungs-, einer bildungs- und einer institutionstheoretischen
Analyse und Kritik bedarf.
