In the decade of the First World War, neutral Switzerland, particularly Geneva, served as a main stage for Egyptian radical agitation. Leaders of the Egyptian national movement organized international conferences and student groups and published extensively on the Egyptian question. This paper looks at how the local and national Swiss authorities dealt with Egyptian exiles and their nationalist and anti-imperialist politics, and traces how their attitudes towards them changed in the course of roughly a decade. It argues that initially, the closeness of the Swiss government to the Central Powers and a commitment to the liberal tradition left the Egyptians largely undisturbed, with few exceptional interventions and occasional censorship to appease British complaints or Allied-friendly sentiment in Geneva. Only with the red scare towards the end of the war and the establishment of a centralised aliens' police did the Swiss authorities start cracking down on the Egyptians, arguably conflating them with the bigger, older, and more prominent group of exiles from the Russian empire, restricting residence permits and who was allowed into the country, to the point where the Egyptian group dissolved and left Switzerland.

This paper discusses the importance of funding and governance intentions at the federal level for intercantonal coordination of the residential care sector for minors. It examines the interpretations of the principle of subsidiarity underlying the measures adopted, the fiscal implications of federal policy, and asks what unintended effects the interventions caused at lower political levels and, above all, in the intercantonal network of relations. The article shows how subsidiarity is a product of social policy compromises and fiscal policy intentions. At the intercantonal level, the measures repeatedly triggered undesirable effects, each of which triggered new pressure for action at the federal level and, consequently, recurrent processes of interpretation with regard to subsidiarity.

This paper focuses exclusively on circular figures on the Plan of St. Gall. Made of parchment, the Plan was produced in the scriptorium of the Abbey of Reichenau/Lake Constance in the early 9111 century and dedicated, following the literary conventions of the time, to Abbot Gozbert (816-837) of the neighbouring Abbey of St. Gallen. The document shows a schematic plan for a complete monastery with all sorts of buildings and fenced-off areas to meet the needs and requirements of a large monastic community at the time. Among those numerous buildings rendered on the Plan, one finds some circular structures like St. Michael's and St. Gabriel's Towers at the front of the Abbey Church, and also a henhouse and a goosehouse in the right upper corner of the parchment. The round structures and concentric circles forming these buildings are freehand drawings in pen and red ink that are not compass-drawn. Most scholars have assumed so far that circular structures on the Plan would have been drawn with the help of compasses used for scratching «blind lines» onto the surface of the parchment. However, close technical analysis reveals the procedure applied only to predefine the planning of round and circular structures. The draughtsmen used dividing compasses beforehand only to prick tiny and hardly visible punctures («prickings») into the parchment at arbitrarily chosen spots along the intended circumference of circular buildings, and then they drew the final design by pen and red ink freehand. Inconspicuous pricking of parchment in order to predefine geometrical figures seems to have been a technique widely applied by monastic scriptoria all over early medieval Europe. Early medieval scribes would apply this technique not only for predefining geometrical figures, drawings and illuminations but also for creating the lining and type area on text pages, for the lay-out of manuscripts in general. The findings presented in this paper are the results of my analysis of digital images of the Plan of St. Gall as the original document is not available to physical examination.

This article provides a systematic review of the arguments put forward in favour of and against the implementation of the Swiss popular initiative in 1891. From parts of the dominating Liberal Party (Freisinnige), the new popular right was met with stiff opposition, while Catholic-Conservatives and groups such as the labour association Grütliverein promoted the popular initiative. Focussing on these three protagonists and drawing on sources that scholars have not paid sufficient attention to, the article analyses the advantages and disadvantages these political actors saw in the new popular right. The paper systemizes their arguments and demonstrates that by opposing the implementation of the Swiss popular initiative, the Liberal Party was mainly trying to maintain its own power, whereas Catholic-Conservatives and the Grütliverein were hoping to expand their influence.

The term doping emerges from 1900 onwards in texts, and was, at first, described indifferently. Later, it was given a moral aspect, but was viewed with curiosity rather than indignation. During the interwar period a (doping) discussion arose, linking (specific) pharmaceuticals and experts, especially in sports medicine, a new discipline that had evolved from hygiene and military medicine. On the whole, the discussion was limited to scientific aspects. Initially, only substances that were toxic and health-damaging were considered doping. This paper discusses this, using Coramin and Pervitin as examples. Its focus ranges from the quasi-public approach to improvement in performance in sports to, at first, contradictory arguments and, finally, to the lost innocence of sports medicine. At least from 1945 onwards, with the invention of highly effective drugs, such as anabolic steroids and amphetamines, and under the influence of war medicine the ethical limits in sports medicine were transgressed and the health of athletes was sacrificed to higher national objectives.This paper also reveals that, already in the late 1930s, leading sports physicians attributed an exceptional position to professional high-performance sport, and considered it as detached from popular sport and closer to war deployment. Anything must be allowed - irrespective of the athletes' health. Last but not least, this paper shows that, right from the beginning, sports medicine claimed the prerogative of interpretation of doping. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
