The Decretum Gratiani is the cornerstone of medieval canon law, and the manuscript St Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, 673 an essential witness to its evolution. The studies in this volume focus on that manuscript, providing critical insights into its genesis, linguistic features, and use of Roman Law, while evaluating its attraction to medieval readers and modern scholars. Together, these studies offer a fascinating view on the evolution of the Decretum Gratiani, as well as granting new insights on the complex dynamics and processes by which legal knowledge was first created and then transferred in medieval jurisprudence. Contributors are Enrique de León, Stephan Dusil, Melodie H. Eichbauer, Atria A. Larson, Titus Lenherr, Philipp Lenz, Kenneth Pennington, Andreas Thier, José Miguel Viejo-Ximénez, John C. Wei, and Anders Winroth.

Erforderliches mathematisches Hintergrundwissen für den Arithmetikunterricht in der Primarstufe und Sekundarstufe so praxisnah wie möglich und theoretisch fundiert wie nötig aufzubereiten, ist ein wichtiges Anliegen dieses Bandes. Die gezielte Verwendung beispielgebundener Beweisstrategien, die später in ähnlicher Form auch in der eigenen Unterrichtspraxis eingesetzt werden können, ist hierbei hilfreich. Aber auch die Fülle anschaulicher Beispiele und die große Anzahl von Übungsaufgaben unterschiedlichen Schwierigkeitsgrades tragen zur eigenaktiven Auseinandersetzung mit dem Stoff und zu einem besseren Verständnis bei. Bewusst argumentieren wir in diesem Band auf verschiedenen Niveaus, die von den schon erwähnten beispielgebundenen Beweisstrategien bis hin zu formalen Beweisen reichen. So sind beim Beweisen eine gute Abstufung im Schwierigkeitsgrad und eine wechselseitige Stützung bei der Argumentation möglich. Auch die Verzahnung mathematischer Inhalte (Arithmetik) und mathematikdidaktischer Fragestellungen (Didaktik der Arithmetik) ist für uns zentral. Diesem Ziel dient auch der Einsatz ausgewählter Abbildungen aus aktuellen Schulbuchwerken. Den Studierenden wird so der Zugang zur Arithmetik erleichtert und sie werden zugleich stärker motiviert.

Die Autoren untersuchen das Verhältnis von Religion und Politik kultur- und epochenübergreifend anhand eines Extremfalls: der Theokratie, das heißt der Idee einer Gottesherrschaft auf Erden. Diese Idee gehört zur Tradition der drei großen monotheistischen Religionen. Ihre Überzeugungskraft unterliegt indes historischen Konjunkturen: Phasen des Auf- und Abschwungs, der Verschärfung und Entschärfung wechseln einander ab. Weil das theokratische Argument fest in der religiösen Tradition verankert ist, kann es in Identitätskrisen stets aktualisiert werden. In den einzelnen Beiträgen, die sich auf historische Konstellationen vom pharaonischen Ägypten und biblischen Israel bis in die Gegenwart beziehen, wird danach gefragt, unter welchen Bedingungen das theokratische Argument auf fruchtbaren Boden fällt, welche Akteure oder Statusgruppen sich des theokratischen Arguments bedienen, und welche politischen und gesellschaftlichen Folgewirkungen damit jeweils verknüpft sind.

Dieser Sammelband umfaßt Aufsätze namhafter Wissenschaftler zur Kreuzestheologie im Neuen Testament. Dabei kommt der umstrittene theologische Status des Kreuzes im Neuen Testament durch kontroverse Beiträge zum Ausdruck. Zum einen werden wichtige Teilbereiche des Markus- und des Johannesevangeliums, der Paulusbriefe und der deuteropaulinischen Literatur exegetisch auf die leitende Fragestellung der Kreuzestheologie hin untersucht. Zum anderen wird aus hermeneutischer Perspektive eine Klärung des Begriffs 'Kreuzestheologie' respektive, im Anschluß an Paulus, des 'Wortes vom Kreuz' angestrebt.Gemeinsam ist den Beiträgen die Überzeugung, daß ein klar definiertes Verständnis von Kreuzestheologie notwendig ist, um den spezifischen Akzentsetzungen der unterschiedlichen neutestamentlichen Traditionsströme gerecht zu werden.

Der Band enthält einen Teil der Abhandlungen Eulers zur Störungstheorie. Er ist der letzte von drei diesem Thema gewidmeten Bänden. Gegenstand der Untersuchungen ist das Dreikörperproblem, das heisst die Beschreibung der Bewegung eines Himmelskörpers um ein Zentralgestirn unter Berücksichtigung der Störung durch einen weiteren Himmelskörper.Dieses Problem behandelt Euler in einigen der vorliegenden Abhandlungen nicht nur für Massenpunkte, sondern erstmals auch für ausgedehnte Himmelskörper. Die so verallgemeinerte Himmelsmechanik, die er als „mechanische Astronomie“ bezeichnete, prägte er massgebend. Dazu gehört unter anderem auch das Rotationsverhalten von Himmelskörpern unter dem Einfluss äusserer Gravitationskräfte, das er mit seinen berühmten Bewegungsgleichungen der Starrkörperrotation erfolgreich zu beschreiben vermochte.

In 1904, Saxon artist Oskar Zwintscher painted the portrait of a lady smoking a cigarette. Today, the work has cult status at the Albertinum in Dresden. Her hair loose, a burning cigarette held casually in her hand, the sitter in a black reform dress is sitting in front of a black curtain. But who is behind the young woman who looks out of the picture so confidently? Andreas Dehmer and Susanna Partsch embark on a fascinating search for clues to the identity of the lady smoking. They find emancipated women who earned their living as artists, actors or writers, preferred reform dress to the corset, and regarded smoking as a symbol of independence. They follow them to metropolises like Berlin, Dresden or Munich, where they lived as part of the bohemian scene. A captivating picture of the way art and life intertwined around 1900 emerges in this search for the unknown.

This comprehensive manual discusses the many aspects of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), providing relevant information along with practical guidance. The reader is also directed to additional resources for extra and current information. This book comes at a time when the number of people suffering from the two major forms of IBD, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), is rising around the globe. Despite their huge impact on daily life and health economics, these diseases are not fully understood, and diagnosis and treatment remains a significant challenge. IBD nurses are increasingly recognised as key clinicians within the multidisciplinary team caring for people with IBD. Through experience and specialist knowledge IBD nurses provide timely support, advice, and treatment for people living with this unpredictable condition. IBD nurses are also well placed to liaise with the wider team, developing patient centred services which best fit their local health framework. The combined international expertise and accessible guidance here will equip nurses, or any clinician wanting to increase their competence in IBD management. Thereby this manual aims to contribute to the optimisation of IBD care throughout the world.

This edited collection considers whether it is possible to discern how the level of ideology is affected by radicalization. In other words: what happens in the minds of people before they decide to use political violence as means to attain their goals? Also this book asks: what has to happen in the minds of people in order to preclude them from using political violence as a way of attaining their goals? This volume unites scholars from several disciplines and perspectives from a number of different geographical, social and cultural contexts with the overarching aim to refine our understanding of what ‘radicalization’ actually implies.

Images of ruins may represent the raw realities created by bombs, natural disasters, or factory closings, but the way we see and understand ruins is not raw or unmediated. Rather, looking at ruins, writing about them, and representing them are acts framed by a long tradition. This unique interdisciplinary collection traces discourses about and representations of ruins from a richly contextualized perspective. In the introduction, Julia Hell and Andreas Schönle discuss how European modernity emerged partly through a confrontation with the ruins of the premodern past.Several contributors discuss ideas about ruins developed by philosophers such as Immanuel Kant, Georg Simmel, and Walter Benjamin. One contributor examines how W. G. Sebald’s novel The Rings of Saturn betrays the ruins erased or forgotten in the Hegelian philosophy of history. Another analyzes the repressed specter of being bombed out of existence that underpins post-Second World War modernist architecture, especially Le Corbusier’s plans for Paris. Still another compares the ways that formerly dominant white populations relate to urban-industrial ruins in Detroit and to colonial ruins in Namibia. Other topics include atomic ruins at a Nevada test site, the connection between the cinema and ruins, the various narratives that have accrued around the Inca ruin of Vilcashuamán, Tolstoy’s response in War and Peace to the destruction of Moscow in the fire of 1812, the Nazis’ obsession with imperial ruins, and the emergence in Mumbai of a new “kinetic city” on what some might consider the ruins of a modernist city. By focusing on the concept of ruin, this collection sheds new light on modernity and its vast ramifications and complexities.Contributors. Kerstin Barndt, Jon Beasley-Murray, Russell A.
