This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Computers Helping People with Special Needs, ICCHP 2006, held in Linz, Austria, in July 2006. The 193 revised contributions presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers evaluate how various fields in computer science can contribute to helping people with various kinds of disabilities and impairment.
The Political Theology of Paul Tillich explores the political theology of one of the foremost thinkers of the 20th century, Paul Tillich, whose life and scholarship were decisively shaped by his experiences during World War I, his resistance to the rising scourge of Nazism in Germany, and his subsequent immigration to the United States. Tillich’s discerning analysis of fascism, grounded in his socialist commitments, and his continuing efforts to write theology in correlation with culture, make his voice a crucial one for contemporary political theology. The contributors to this volume represent different generations, social and cultural locations, and nationalities Together, they explore Tillich’s early work on religious socialism and its lingering presence in his later systematic theology, bring him into dialogue with liberation theologies, apply his thought to contemporary political concerns, and show the significance of his method of correlation for theological scholarship that engages culture, thereby presenting a case for the continued relevance of Tillich for political theology.
19th-century novel of adultery and remorse. Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916) was celebrated even in her own lifetime as Austria's foremost nineteenth-century woman writer.Beyond Atonement (Unsühnbar, 1889), loosely based on an actual event in a high-class Austrian family, is a novel about adultery: Maria marries Hermann Dornach, though she is in love with Felix Tessin; two years later, she commits adultery with Tessin, conceiving a child whom she alone knows to be illegitimate; when her husband and their legitimate son die in an accident, she reveals her infidelity. Her unforgiving family and her own remorse set Maria apart from the protagonists of other nineteenth-century novels of adultery such as Goethe's Elective Affinities and Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. Beyond Atonement is a companion piece to Ebner's best-known tale of village life, Their Pavel (Das Gemeindekind), also published by Camden House. Dr VANESSA VAN ORNAM is a translator for the city government of Berlin.
Anlässlich des 100. Jubiläums der Universität Hamburg widmet sich der umfangreich Sammelband der Geschichte von Frauen und der Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung an der Universität Hamburg: Von den ersten Wissenschaftlerinnen und Studentinnen, über das erste Frauenseminar bis zu den heutigen Forschungsprojekten und Institutionen. Die Originaldokumente (Flugblätter, Plakate, Notizen, Briefe etc.), Interviews und Beiträge spiegeln die Rahmenbedingungen, Motivationen und Aktionen einzelner Akteurinnen und Gruppen mit Schwerpunkt ab den 1970/80er Jahren wider. Der Band zeigt auf, wie eng gesellschaftliche und wissenschaftliche Diskurse miteinander verflochten sind.
På planeten Aldanrey i Barnards Star-systemet, 6 lysår fra vår sol, lever kalivenerne sine enkle liv i pakt med naturen og hverandre. Idyllen slår sprekker når det oppdages at en nært forestående kosmisk hendelse vil få katastrofale følger for livet på planeten. En liten gruppe nekter å sitte stille og vente på sivilisasjonens undergang. Ledet av to unge pionerer gjør de desperate forsøk på å forhindre den varslede katastrofen. Vårt solsystem, i nær fremtid. Private aktører er i ferd med å etablere gruvedrift på Mars. Prosjektet er helt i startfasen da de ved en tilfeldighet oppdager vraket av et urgammelt, fremmed romskip. Parallelt med at forskere starter undersøkelse...
Major developments concerning imidazoline receptor (IR) molecular biology, cell signalling and purification of endogenous ligands have greatly expanded our understanding of the molecular nature of these proteins and of agmatine-metabolizing enzymes. The diversity of IR subtypes and the possible relationship of these receptors to the function of various organs and potential therapeutic targets in psychiatry and diabetes present new areas for discussion. The diversity of IR subtypes as well as a wide tissue distribution for imidazoline-selective binding sites has led to an appreciation that other organ systems besides the brain are also probably influenced by IR. (agmatine and harmane) have po...
