Estrogen Effects in Psychiatric Disorders
A number of studies, mostly focusing on estrogen replacement therapy in women, have reported beneficial actions of these hormones on various neurobiological and neuropathological parameters in health and disease. Recent research has focused on gender differences and there is increasing evidence that estrogens exert protective effects in schizophrenia. Hormonal fluctuations or lack of estrogen may increase the risk of depression among vulnerable women. Treatment of depression with estrogen may stabilize and restore disrupted homeostasis – as during post-partum, premenstrual, or perimenopausal conditions – and act as a psychomodulator to offset vulnerability to dysphoric mood when estrogen levels are significantly decreased, as in the case of postmenopausal women. Studies on the effect of estrogens on Alzheimer’s Disease are still rather controversial, they do, however, facilitate the hypothesis that estrogens may have a modifying effect on the onset and course of AD, at least in subgroups of patients.

Public Information Messages
Public information messages are an important means of state-citizen communication in today's societies. Using this genre, citizens are directed to never ever drink and drive, to slow down and to learn to say no. Yet, this book presents the first in-depth analysis of public information messages from a linguistic perspective, and indeed also from a cross-cultural perspective. Specifically, the study, adopting genre analysis, contrasts a corpus of state-run national public information campaigns in Germany and Ireland. A taxonomy of moves is developed inductively and the interactional features of the genre are analysed and related to the context of use. The comprehensive discussion of theoretical and methodological issues, the in-depth analysis and the extensive bibliography make this book of interest to researchers and students in (contrastive) discourse analysis, (cross-cultural) pragmatics, contrastive rhetoric, advertising, social psychology, mass communication and media studies. Copy-writers will also profit from the insights gained, particularly within the context of an increase in Europe-wide public information campaigns.
Newton's Principia Revisited
PROBLEM. The treatise is devoted to the reconstruction of our 'instinctive beliefs' in classical mechanics and to present them 'as much isolated and as free from irrelevant additions as possible'. The same motivation has driven many authors since the publication of Newton's Principia. IMPORTANCE. Classical mechanics will remain the basic reference and tool for mechanics on terrestrial and planetary scale as well as the proto-theory of relativistic and quantum mechanics. But it can only serve its purpose if it is not considered as obsolete, but if its foundations and implications are understood and made 'absolutely' clear. METHOD. Based on the 'instinctive belief' that the foundations of clas...

Interkulturelle Kommunikation
Interkulturelle Kommunikation ist mittlerweile an mehreren deutschen Universitäten vertreten, wozu nicht zuletzt das stetig anwachsende Interesse an interkulturellen Themen und Problemen beigetragen hat. Interkulturelle Kommunikation ist ein interdisziplinäres Studienfach, das sich in Deutschland aus den Fächern Ethnologie, Psychologie, Linguistik, Philologie, Pädagogik, Wirtschaftswissenschaft u.a. entwickelt hat bzw. innerhalb dieser Fächer als Spezialisierung betrieben wird. Zu fragen ist also, ob trotz der Vielfalt der Fachorientierungen gemeinsame Wissensbestände existieren und welche Gemeinsamkeiten hinsichtlich der Basisannahmen, Theorien und Methoden benannt werden können.
