Abstract

This book reviews several aspects of the biological response to nanoscale particles on a molecular and cellular level. Nanoscale materials and nanoscale particles in particular have interesting properties and beneficial applications. While they thus have entered our daily lifes on many different levels (from electronics, over textiles, packaging or surface modifications, to biomedical applications), general rules describing their interaction with biological structures and biological matter are still difficult to derive. The existing literature suggests a variety of interaction schemes between nanoparticles and biological objects, not dispelling the public concerns about possible health effects and harmful properties. A systematic approach to the problem is needed and timely. This book specifically emphasizes bioanalytical problems starting from the characterization of the nanomaterials to the pitfalls and potential artifacts of state-of-the-art cytotoxicity assays that are frequently used to study harmful effects on cells. It also highlights the application of label-free bioanalytical techniques that can potentially complement the present approaches and hence provide new perspectives on this highly discussed cutting-edge field of research and public concern.

Abstract

Was hat Martin Luther so am ,Frankfurter' fasziniert, dass er diesen spärlich überlieferten spätmittelalterlichen Traktat 1516 zunächst in einer Kurzfassung und dann 1518 vollständig im Druck erscheinen lässt? Ausgehend von dieser Fragestellung begibt sich die vorliegende Monographie in das 14. Jahrhundert zurück, um in einer vergleichenden Analyse bestimmte Transformationsprozesse innerhalb des ,mystischen Diskurses' und ihre Auswirkungen auf den ,Frankfurter' herauszuarbeiten. Inspiriert von Luther Bewertung des Traktats als "opus theologicissimum", welches Augustinus an die Seite zu stellen sei, werden zwei Komplexe ausführlich behandelt: zum einen die zunehmende Distanzierung mystischer Prosatexte von der positiven Anthropologie Meister Eckharts und die damit einhergehende Annäherung anaugustinisch-antipelagianische Positionen, die sich im ,Frankfurter' in besonderer Intensität niederschlagen; zum anderen die zu theologischen Grenzüberschreitungen neigende Gotteslehre des ,Frankfurter', die ihn ebenfalls weit von Meister Eckhart entfernt. Ein abschließender Teil führt anhand der frühen Wittenberger Druckausgaben (1516, 1518, 1520) die mediale Umgestaltung des ,Frankfurter' zur ,Theologia deutsch' vor.

Abstract

"How corrupt is the West? Europe and North America's formal self-perception is one of high standards in public life. And yet, corruption is receiving ever greater attention in the European, American and Canadian press, with high-profile cases affecting both the corporate and political worlds. This book identifies the driving forces behind such cases, particularly the role of political finance, lobbying, the banking system and organised crime. It analyses the sectors which are particularly prone to corruption, including sport, defence and pharmaceuticals. In the course of their investigation, the authors consider why anti-corruption legislation has not been more effective and why there is an increasing discrepancy between regulation and commercial and cultural practice. Are Europe and the US genuinely serious about fighting corruption and if so what measures will be taken to roll it back?"--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

Creativity — A New Vocabulary proposes a novel approach to the way in which we talk and think about creativity. It covers a variety of topics not commonly associated with creativity that offer us valuable insights and open up new and exciting possibilities for creative action. This collection of essays challenges the 'traditional' vocabulary of creativity and its preference for individuals, brains, cognition, personality, divergent thinking, insight, and problem solving. Instead, the book proposes a more dynamic and relational perspective that considers creativity as an embodied, social, material, and cultural process. This book will be useful for a wide range of specialists within the humanities and social sciences, as well as practitioners from applied fields who are looking for novel ways, of thinking about and doing creative work.

Abstract

Coaching ist längst nicht mehr nur in der Führungskräfteentwicklung und im Sport anzutreffen. Auch in weiteren Handlungsfeldern wie beispielsweise der Politik, dem Gesundheitssektor, der Sozialen Arbeit oder der Wissenschaft findet Coaching vermehrt Verbreitung. Diese rasante Entwicklung aufgreifend, versucht die Publikation die Konturen der immer deutlicher erkennbaren Coaching-Praxisfelder nachzuzeichnen. Mit Beiträgen namhafter Expertinnen und Experten aus dem deutsch- und englischsprachigen Raum werden dazu aktuelle Erkenntnisse aus Wissenschaft und Praxis präsentiert. Einen weiteren Teil der Publikation bilden Coaching-Praxisfelder übergreifende Themen wie Programme, moderne Medien und Evaluationsansätze im Coaching. Der Inhalt · Teil 1: Coaching-Praxisfelder (Business, Gesundheit, Politik, Wissenschaft, Soziale Arbeit, Sport). · Teil 2: Übergreifende Themen (Programme, moderne Medien, Evaluation). · Teil 3: Skizzierung einer praxisfeldbezogenen Coachingtheorie Die Zielgruppen · Coaches · Wissenschaftler/innen · Coaching-Weiterbildner/innen oder Auftraggebende für Coaching und Coachingprogramme Die Herausgebenden Robert Wegener ist Leiter des Internationalen Kongresses „Coaching meets Research“ der Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz FHNW Dr. Michael Loebbert ist Programmleiter der Coaching Studies der Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz FHNW Prof. Agnès Fritze ist Leiterin des Instituts Beratung, Coaching und Sozialmanagement der Hochschule für Soziale Arbeit HSA FHNW .
