Overcoming Conflict
Peacebuilding and reconciliation between groups and entire nations that share a violent past are among the toughest, yet most important, challenges for modern societies. Opposing perspectives, disagreements about the interpretation of historical events or even entirely different narratives too often impede processes of rapprochement. How can teaching history contribute to overcoming the demarcation lines of such narratives and resolving historical conflicts that are passed on from generation to generation or renewed, amplified and exploited for present political purposes? This volume comprises twelve case studies—from Central and Eastern Europe to South Africa, from the Middle East to East Asia—exploring stories about successes and failures in the never-ending struggle for peaceful coexistence. All of them ultimately reflect the fundamental question of our discipline: Can we learn from history?
Christen und Muslime in Mittelalter und Frühneuzeit
Die Beziehungsgeschichte von Christen und Muslimen war im Mittelalter und in der Frühen Neuzeit äußerst vielschichtig, woraus sich besondere Anforderungen für das historische Lernen ergeben. Dieser Band will das Erkenntnispotenzial erschließen, das in einer Historisierung von Religion als Faktor des menschlichen Zusammenlebens – sei es friedlich oder konfliktreich – in der Geschichte liegt. Ausgehend vom aktuellen Kernlehrplan Geschichte (Sekundarstufe II) in Nordrhein-Westfalen sollen Lehrkräfte Informationsgrundlagen und Anregungen dazu erhalten, wie das überaus anspruchsvolle Themenfeld »Christen und Muslime in Mittelalter und Frühneuzeit« in fachlich fundierter und zugleich...
Microbiotechnology Based Surfactants and Their Applications
Biosurfactants are structurally diverse group of bioactive molecules produced by a variety of microorganisms. They are secondary metabolites that accumulate at interfaces, reduce surface tension and form micellar aggregates. This research topic describes few novel microbial strains with a focus on increasing our understanding of genetics, physiology, regulation of biosurfactant production and their commercial potentials. A major stumbling block in the commercialization of biosurfactants is their high cost of production. Many factors play a significant role in making the process cost-effective and the most important one being the use of low-cost substrates such as agricultural residues for th...
Francia, Band 50
Der Band enthält 25 Beiträge in deutscher, französischer und englischer Sprache. Die Themenvielfalt reicht von dem sogenannten »Lothar-Kristall« des 10. Jahrhunderts, den Bischöfen Oliba von Vic und Notger von Lüttich, der Rolle des Favoriten am französischen Königshof im späten Mittelalter und dem Lachen im deutsch-französischen Kontext über den Schwarzen Tod im Frankreich Richelieus und revolutionäre Lustspiele im Reich, die Plantagen in Saint-Domingue am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts bis zu Luxemburgern in der Fremdenlegion. Eigene Beiträge sind der Grenze zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich um 1900 gewidmet, dem Verhältnis Henri Lefebvres zur Kommunistischen Partei, dem Achilleion, – Kaiser Wilhelms Palast auf Korfu –, der luxemburgischen Besatzung in Bitburg nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg sowie Jacques Chirac und seiner »amitié tardive« für Deutschland.
Cold-Water Corals and Ecosystems
Cold-water coral ecosystems figure the formation of large seabed structures such as reefs and giant carbonate mounds; they represent unexplored paleo-environmental archives of earth history. Like their tropical cousins, cold-water coral ecosystems harbour rich species diversity. For this volume, key institutions in cold-water coral research have contributed 62 state-of-the-art articles on topics from geology and oceanography to biology and conservation, with some impressive underwater images.
Lasso Peptides
Lasso peptides form a growing family of fascinating ribosomally-synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides produced by bacteria. They contain 15 to 24 residues and share a unique interlocked topology that involves an N-terminal 7 to 9-residue macrolactam ring where the C-terminal tail is threaded and irreversibly trapped. The ring results from the condensation of the N-terminal amino group with a side-chain carboxylate of a glutamate at position 8 or 9, or an aspartate at position 7, 8 or 9. The trapping of the tail involves bulky amino acids located in the tail below and above the ring and/or disulfide bridges connecting the ring and the tail. Lasso peptides are subdivided into ...
Human Adaptation to Spaceflight
Human Adaptation to Spaceflight: The Role of Nutrition reflects a (brief) review of the history of and current state of knowledge about the role of nutrition in human space flight. We have attempted to morganize this from a more physiological point of view, and to highlight systems, and the nutrients that support them, rather than the other way around. We hope we have captured in this book the state of the field of study of the role of human nutrition in space flight, along with the work leading up to this state, and some guideposts for work remaining to be done and gaps that need to be filled.
