I was walking through an unknown foggy forest when I spotted a field of wildflowers. My feet had a mind of their own as they led me to wander through the flowers. I nonchalantly dragged my hands over the flowers. It was a beautiful and serene sight. I deeply inhaled the sweet scent of the flower and gave a little shudder of bliss. I closed my eyes and just absorbed the moment wanting to remember it. Suddenly the sounds of paws hitting the forest floor overwhelmed me. Then the forest was ignited with flames. Everything glowed vibrant oranges and reds as heavy smoke smothered me from above. I threw myself to the ground desperate for any trace of clean air. As I attempted to crawl out of the flowers a new sound harmonized with the thunder paws, screams and howls for help terrorized me. I clawed at the ground desperate to escape the menacing choir. Fire licked my skin and I screamed for help. Sobs escaped my lips as flaming branches fell on me from above. The smell of burning flesh was the only thing that consumed me as everything went dark.
English summary: System theory claims universality. Niklas Luhmann himself called it a Super theory, which would continue to gain followers in fields where scientific objects are investigated as systems. This volume gives an impression of where productive synergies arise, particularly in humanities fields, when system theory is applied in dealing with the subject matter of such fields. Niklas Luhmann is first classified as an expert of philosophy and its development. This classification is then followed by articles relating to political science, law and literary studies, which address theoretical problems with the system theory based on their specific subject matter and which present analyti...
Cancer of the eye is uncommon. It can affect the outer parts of the eye, such as the eyelid, which are made up of muscles, skin and nerves. If the cancer starts inside the eyeball it's called intraocular cancer. The most common intraocular cancers in adults are melanoma and lymphoma. The most common eye cancer in children is retinoblastoma, which starts in the cells of the retina. Cancer can also spread to the eye from other parts of the body. Treatment for eye cancer varies by the type and by how advanced it is. It may include surgery, radiation therapy, freezing or heat therapy, or laser therapy. This new book presents research from around the world.

Nachhaltigkeit gilt seit der Weltkonferenz zu Umwelt und Entwicklung im Jahr 1992 in Rio de Janeiro als Leitbild gesellschaftlichen Handelns und ist sprachlich in gesellschaftlicher Kommunikation verankert. Nachhaltig zu handeln, ist erklärtes Ziel der Gesellschaft in Politik, Wirtschaft, Tourismus, Werbung, Recht und Verwaltung sowie Religion. Die Beiträge des Bandes reflektieren in linguistischer Perspektive, wie sich die hohe Frequenz des Lexems Nachhaltigkeit im Gebrauch auf die sprachliche Ausformung des Konzepts auswirkt, ob und in welcher Weise ein Resonanzraum für ökologische Gefährdungen und soziale Herausforderungen in gesellschaftlicher Kommunikation entstanden ist und in welchen Textsorten das Konzept Nachhaltigkeit spezifische Gestalt gewinnt.
Katja Guder untersucht Arzneimittelanzeigen hinsichtlich ihrer situativen Einordnung, ihres architektonischen Aufbaus, ihrer Funktion sowie sprachlichen Formulierungen und Vertextungsmustern. Arzneimittelanzeigen lassen sich hinsichtlich ihrer Bewerbung für medizinische Laien und dem medizinisch gebildeten Fachpublikum unterschiedlich charakterisieren, wodurch nicht nur ihre Einordnung in die Systemtheorie spezifiziert werden kann, sondern auch die Funktionen der einzelnen Anzeigenstrukturen für Laien- und Fachpublikum von einander differenziert betrachtet werden. Diese ganzheitliche Betrachtungsweise generiert für verschiedene Fachkreise (z.B. Werbeforschung, Sprachwissenschaft, Kommunikationswissenschaft, Medienwissenschaft u.a.) einen Mehrwert in der weiteren Forschung von pharmazeutischer Werbung sowie für Werbeanzeigen allgemein.
Aufarbeitungen der historischen Textsortenwelt sowie komplexer Großtextsorten stellen seit langer Zeit ein Forschungsdesiderat der Textlinguistik dar. Diese Arbeit ist als umfassender Versuch der Füllung dieser Leerstellen zu verstehen. Gegenstand ist die historische Textsorte 'Schulprogramm': Diese im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert enorm einflussreiche Textsorte des historischen Bildungswesens wird in ihrer Genese, Weiterentwicklung und Ausdifferenzierung über einen Zeitraum von 150 Jahren mit textsortenlinguistischen Analysewerkzeugen und Rückgriff auf die Luhmannsche Systemtheorie aufgearbeitet.
Dr W Kroll, a young post-doc working under Heisenberg at Leipzing in the 1930s, was forced to escape from the Nazis and eventually came to the National Taiwan University in 1941. He taught many of the advanced courses in theoretical physics for over two decades, and prepared a generation of physicists in Taiwan. A symposium on pure and applied physics was held in memory of Prof Kroll at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in August 1996. These proceedings, composed of papers contributed to the symposium by many of Prof Kroll's former students now reaching professorial ranks in the West, reflect in a small measure the legacy he left behind.
Completely revised and updated third edition of Lee’s Ophthalmic Histopathology, this well-illustrated and practically-oriented text has retained its general layout and style and division into specimen-based chapters. The visual image remains key to explaining the pathological processes - facilitated by full colour photography throughout the text. The text and illustrations are also provided as a searchable CD-ROM. The book emphasizes pertinent recent advances, particularly in the molecular basis of disease and in the diagnosis and classification of tumours. including improvements in immunohistochemistry and cytogenetic and molecular biological studies. This book is an invaluable source of reference for ophthalmic pathologists, general pathologists and ophthalmologists.
