        Das Böse

        Eine historische Phänomenologie des Unerklärlichen. Herausgegeben von Carsten Colpe und Wilhelm Schmidt-Biggemann

        by Wilhelm Schmidt-Biggemann, Carsten Colpe, Wilhelm Schmidt-Biggemann

        Böses zeigt sich, und die Frage, wie es zu identifizieren sei, stellt sich immer erst, wenn sich das Böse zeigt. Gerade deshalb hat das Böse eine Geschichte; es ist die Geschichte davon, was wann als böse bezeichnet wurde, wie der Begriff des Bösen – so es denn ein Begriff und nicht nur eine Signatur ist – sich fassen läßt. Aber es ist auch die Geschichte davon, wie diese Signatur sich im Laufe ihrer Geschichte ändert, wie sie den Schein der Präzision bekommt, ohne daß diese begrifflichen Präzisionsversuche das Phänomen des Bösen fassen könnten. Historisch wird ein Bedeutungsfeld sichtbar, die undeutliche Faßlichkeit konturiert sich von Beginn an in einem mythischen und später theologischen Kontext: Das Phänomen des Bösen wird durch Geschichten und Theorien evidenter. Für den phänomenalen Befund sind Geschichten und Theorien nicht zuständig, wohl aber für seine Bewältigung.

        Tropical Tuber Starches

        Structural and Functional Characteristics

        by S N Moorthy, M S Sajeev, R P K Ambrose, R J Anish

        This book provides comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge relating to the morphological, structural, and functional characteristics of tuber starches, particularly in relation to their applications in food and industry. In recent years there has been significant progress and extensive research conducted on tropical root starches and especially on some of the lesser known tuber crop starches. There has also been a shift towards using biomaterials in place of synthetic materials in various applications. As researchers investigate the availability of natural products with similar properties, starch has been identified as a reliable alternative to these synthetic materials. Reflecting the growing body of research, Tropical Tuber Starches: - Explores the structure, properties and applications of tropical root and tuber starches (cassava, sweet potato, aroids, yams and other minor tuber crops) - Includes a chapter on the methodology for starch characterisation - Covers patents on starch-based products and the commercial potential of tropical root starches A valuable resource for researchers and students, plant breeders, and commercial producers working with, or considering working with, tropical tuber starches. Table of Contents 1: Introduction - Tropical Tuber Crops and Their Importance 2: Starch - General Considerations 3: Cassava 4: Sweet Potato 5: Aroids 6: Yams 7: Other Starches 8: Starch Modifications 9: Applications of Tuber Starches 10: Characterization and Analysis of Starches 11: Conclusions and Future Prospects

        Natural Products in Plant Pest Management

        by Nawal Kishore Dubey, Santos Mila, Sanath Hettiarachi, R N Kharwar, Moshe Kostyukovsky, Sonia Marín, D B Olufolaji, Roman Pavela, Maria Porras, J C Pretorius, Larisa Sheherbakova, K A Raveesha, H N Verma. Edited by Nawal Kishore Dubey.

        Overzealous and indiscriminate use of many synthetic pesticides during recent decades in the control of plant pests has resulted in a number of environmental and toxicological problems. Reducing the release of synthetic chemicals into the environment requires that alternative sources of chemicals are developed that can be used safely in the management of plant pests. Botanical antimicrobials derived from plants are currently recognised as biodegradable, systemic, eco-friendly and non-toxic to mammals and are thus considered safe. Their modes of action against pests are diverse. Natural compounds are well suited to organic food production in industrialised countries and can play greater roles in the protection of food crops in developing countries Some plant based antimicrobials (e.g. neem products, pyrethoids and essential oils) are already used to manage pest populations on a large scale. Plant scientists and agriculturists now devote significant attention to discovery and further development and formulation of novel plant products with antimicrobial activity.This book is the first to bring together relevant aspects of the basic and applied sciences of natural pesticides and discussed modern trends in the use of natural products in pest management.

        Coping Better with Cancer Therapy

        Improved quality of life with the right vitamins and minerals

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters

        Cancer patients often suffer from malnutrition. Not only do they lack energy-providing macronutrients such as protein, fats and carbohydrates, they particularly lack the micronutrients that regulate the metabolism. Micronutrients such as vitamin D, selenium, L-carnitine, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C significantly contribute to supporting the immune system of cancer patients, reducing inflammatory processes, alleviating the side effects of cancer therapy, and improving their quality of life. This patient guide provides information about the relationship between cancer, malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, the influence of cancer therapeutics on micronutrient balance, and how cancer patients can support their therapy and improve their quality of life with a controlled intake of micronutrient

        The World of the North

        Between Ragnarok and welfare utopia: A cultural-historical deconstruction

        by Bernd Henningsen

        — Analysis of how we view Europe's North and how this image emerged — An outsider's perspective on Nordic societies and their self image — Serves as an introduction into Northern European culture and society Our image of Northern Europe has been shaped by projections and desires in the long history of encounters: berserkers and war atrocities, bad weather, beautiful nature, stable political systems, social welfare, equality and prosperity, peacefulness, low corruption, hygge and Bullerby – all this is part of the Nordic narrative. But what about the religious, linguistic and ethnic homogeneity, what about the muchvaunted Nordic cooperation? How do politics "work" in the North? Why are Northern Europeans the happiest people?

        ABBA ABBA: By Anthony Burgess

        by Paul Howard, Andrew Biswell

        ABBA ABBA is one of Anthony Burgess's most original works, combining fiction, poetry and translation. A product of his time in Italy in the early 1970s, this delightfully unconventional book is part historical novel, part poetry collection, as well as a meditation on translation and the generating of literature by one of Britain's most inventive post-war authors. Set in Papal Rome in the winter of 1820-21, Part One recreates the consumptive John Keats's final months in the Eternal City and imagines his meeting the Roman dialect poet Giuseppe Gioachino Belli. Pitting Anglo-Italian cultures and sensibilities against each other, Burgess creates a context for his highly original versions of 71 sonnets by Belli, which feature in Part Two. This new edition includes extra material by Burgess, along with an introduction and notes by Paul Howard, Fellow in Italian Literature at Trinity College, Cambridge.

        Cancer nutrition and dietary guidance

        China Chronic Disease Nutrition and Dietary Guidance Series

        by Li Zengning

        The audio-visual products and series of books of "Nutrition and Dietary Guidance for Chronic Diseases in China" were compiled by the Nutrition and Metabolism Management Branch of the China Association for the Promotion of International Health Care and Nutrition and nine major hospitals. This book describes the relationship between various foods and tumors, and how to eat for tumor patients. Recent studies have proved that environmental factors may be an important factor in the incidence of tumors. Among them, eating habits, insufficient nutrient intake, excessive intake or imbalance between nutrients are all important aspects. The tumors affected by the above factors mainly include esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer and lung cancer. The pollutants in the diet, such as aflatoxin, aggravate the lack and imbalance of certain nutrients, thereby enhancing the carcinogenic effect. Nutrient intake is directly related to tumor occurrence, development, treatment effect, quality of life and survival period.
