Die vorliegende Publikation widmet sich dem ersten Buch des Werks Ad Florum Julians von Aeclanum, das durch Augustinus ausführlich zitiert und kommentiert wurde. Erstmals wird der lateinische Text in einer eigenen Textausgabe mit deutscher Übersetzung und mit einem Kommentar präsentiert.
This book combines well-known theoretical elements of various disciplines to form a broad picture of the role of ideologies in conflicts, in particular "the supply and demand side" of the ideological market: namely, why individuals choose particular ideologies and how radical groups, and organizations use them to address individuals' specific needs for the purpose of recruitment. This allows better understanding of the socio-psychological dynamics of social conflicts--why adopting particular ideologies is reasonable given certain socio-economic conditions; why individuals stick to destructive ideologies; and why they embrace major personal risks to join radical groups and advance the goals of these groups.
What becomes of ballet dancers when they finally leave the stage, when their last curtain falls? Maja Langsdorff, journalist, writer and a former ballet dancer, interviewed 27 former dancers and recorded their life stories from their first ballet steps to their lives after dance. At the time of their interviews they were between 21 and 62 years old, their careers had ended from three months to 34 years ago. Dancers give a lot, if not everything, in the performances. They live their lives in the limelight. In ballet, profession and calling are united: passion and suffering are often close to each other. For most dancers, their time is up at thirty, thirty-five. They disappear from view. One doesn't hear anything about them anymore; as if they were swallowed up by the earth. This book investigates their fates. These short biographies show what formed them, what moved them, what influenced them. And the portraits leave no doubt, that dancers are special people; even if they no longer dance.

This volumes examines the place of classical rhetoric in Augustine's theology. Rather than seeing rhetoric as a matter only of style, the authors examine the argumentative techniques that Augustine would have learned and taught as a professional rhetorician. Essays pay particular attention to the rhetorical practice of invention in order to uncover the ways in which Augustine's thought is not only expressed rhetorically but constructed rhetorically as well. If you want to know what kind of rhetoric Augustine used in the actual practice as a Christian writer and preacher, this volume will answer your question.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a disorder of the pulmonary vasculature defined by increased mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) leading to right ventricle (RV) hypertrophy and dysfunction, right-sided heart failure and ultimately death. PH is a common complication of chronic lung diseases (CLD) including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) where it is classified as Group 3 PH by the WHO. It can also be associated with cardiovascular conditions such as left-heart disease (classified as Group 2 PH) or appear on its own as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and classified as Group1 PH. In all of these cases the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension is strongly associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The focus of this Research Topic is to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms that contribute to the pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricle hypertrophy.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common respiratory diseases that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Exposure to toxic particles and gases, including cigarette smoke, is the main risk factor for COPD. Genetic predisposition also plays a major role, which besides toxic exposure type and duration, can determine different disease phenotypes. Patients with COPD often experience troublesome respiratory symptoms, frequent chest infections, and most importantly, are at risk of serious complications such as lung cancer and cardiorespiratory failure. Despite this, there is currently no cure for COPD, but available treatment options (pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and interventional) can help slow disease progression and improve symptoms and quality of life.
