This collaborative action research based on transformative phenomenology highlights the increase in Deathworlds globally. Life-sustaining environments (Lifeworlds) often include aspects that do not promote life (Deathworlds). Awareness of the existence of both and their interactions is essential for understanding the world in which we live. International researchers collaborate on topics such as addiction, oppression, and disaster politics.

This volume brings together contributions by specialists from a variety of disciplines discussing the epistemological history of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and the transmission of knowledge in the Crown of Aragon. They consider, among other things, the materiality of texts, the linguistic models employed, the persistence of ancient models of perceiving the world, up to the establishment of new ways of thinking and knowledge transfer.

ruth weiss, born in Berlin in 1928 to Austrian-Jewish parents, arrived in San Francisco in 1952 after hitchhiking through the United States. Crowned years later as the ¿Goddess of the Beat Generation¿ by San Francisco Chronicle critic Herb Caen, weiss has worked for almost seven decades with a plurality of artistic forms. Despite her extensive poetry career and very active participation in the West Coast buzzing artistic community since the early 1950s, weiss has remained an essentially overlooked figure in poetry history. This neglect might be representative of the overshadowing of female artists within the Beat Generation as ¿a marginalized group within an always already marginalized bohemiä (Johnson). The volume taps directly into this lacuna by proving the first close study on one of the most prolific members of the so-called Beat Generation. Offering diverse and comprehensive points of entrance into weiss¿s oeuvre, the essays in this volume adopt a multidisciplinary approach that attests to the cross-pollination between art forms in postwar counterculture. In addition, the volume also includes shorter, non-academic contributions and previously unpublished archival material. Bringing together scholars, academics and artists from around the world, this volume represents a timely and much-needed response to the increasing interest in weiss¿s work in the last decades.

It is often claimed that the kind of love that is variously deemed 'romantic' or 'true' did not exist in antiquity. Yet, ancient literature abounds with stories that seem to adhere precisely to this kind of love. This volume focuses on such literature and the concepts of love it espouses. The volume differs from and challenges much existing classical scholarship which has traditionally privileged the theme of sex over love and prose-genres over those of poetry. By conversely focusing on love and poetry, the present volume freshly explores central poets in ancient literature, such Homer, Sappho, Terence, Catullus, Virgil, Horace and Ovid, alongside less canonized, such as the anonymous poet of The Lament for Bion, Philodemus and Sulpicia. The chapters, which are written by world-leading as well as younger scholars, reveal that Greek and Latin concepts of love seem interconnected, that such love is as relevant for hetero- as homoerotic couples, and that such ideas of love follow the mainstream of poetry throughout antiquity. In addition to the general reader interested in the history of love, this volume is relevant for students and scholars of the ancient world and the poetic tradition.

The volume is published on the occasion of the birth centennial of Eugenio Coseriu (1921¿2002). It is the first collective volume to appear in English in which various scholars present a variety of perspectives on Coseriüs scholarly work and discuss its continuing relevance for the language sciences. Coseriüs international reputation has suffered from his commitment to publish in languages such as Spanish, German, French, Italian, Romanian and Portuguese, to the detriment of English. As a consequence, his work is less well-known outside Romance and German linguistics. The volume aims to raise the general awareness of Coseriüs work among linguists around the world, in accordance with Coseriüs own adage that it takes a constructive mindset (acknowledging "accomplishments and limitations") to do justice to all scholarly work in the humanities. The articles are organized into three major thematic clusters: 1) philosophy of language, 2) history of the language sciences and 3) theory and practice of "Integral Linguistics". The volume is essential reading for anyone working in these fields and for those seeking to gain deeper understanding of Coseriüs goal to develop a unitary approach to language which takes as its point of departure the "activity of speaking".

The study of Islam¿s origins from a rigorous historical and social science perspective is still wanting. At the same time, a renewed attention is being paid to the very plausible pre-canonical redactional and editorial stages of the Qur'an, a book whose core many contemporary scholars agree to be formed by various independent writings in which encrypted passages from the OT Pseudepigrapha, the NT Apocrypha, and other ancient writings of Jewish, Christian, and Manichaean provenance may be found. Likewise, the earliest Islamic community is presently regarded by many scholars as a somewhat undetermined monotheistic group that evolved from an original Jewish-Christian milieu into a distinct Muslim group perhaps much later than commonly assumed and in a rather unclear way. The following volume gathers select studies that were originally shared at the Early Islamic Studies Seminar. These studies aim at exploring afresh the dawn and early history of Islam with the tools of biblical criticism as well as the approaches set forth in the study of Second Temple Judaism, Christian, and Rabbinic origins, thereby contributing to the renewed, interdisciplinary study of formative Islam as part and parcel of the complex processes of religious identity formation during Late Antiquity.

Blockchain and artificial intelligence are perhaps the two most significant disruptive technologies this century and both will significantly rewire the world of global financial markets and the world in which we live. While blockchain offers a number of significant advantages over traditional forms of finance including lower cost and massive increases in operational efficiencies of traded markets, property records and a whole host of transaction processes, artificial intelligence is moving fast from basic structured machine learning doing menial yet important big data tasks like credit card fraud detection to predictive analysis and real-time real-world risk management and investment decision making. There is still a lot of confusion in the market about cryptocurrencies, bitcoin and the underlying blockchain technology. Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence highlights the underlying technologies of blockchain and the differences between cryptocurrencies and blockchain financial applications. It explores the current AI offerings and gives a vision of the fast-moving developments in this area including the many solutions that are expected to revolutionize the way financial and commodity markets will operate in the future.

Traditionally, the history of Ancient Greek literature ends with Antiquity: after the fall of Rome, the literary works in ancient Greek generally belong to the domain of the Byzantine Empire. However, after the Byzantine refugees restored the knowledge of Ancient Greek in the west during the early humanistic period (15th century), Italian scholars (and later their French, German, Spanish colleagues) started to use Greek, a purely literary language that no one spoke, for their own texts and poems. This habit persisted with various ups and downs throughout the centuries, according to the development of Greek studies in each country. The aim of this anthology - the first one of this kind - is to give a selective overview of this kind of humanistic poetry in Ancient Greek, embracing all major regions of Europe and trying to concentrate on remarkable pieces of important poets. The ultimate goal of the book is to shed light on an important and so far mostly neglected aspect of the European heritage.

The series is devoted to the publication of monographs and high-level textbooks in mathematics, mathematical methods and their applications. Apart from covering important areas of current interest, a major aim is to make topics of an interdisciplinary nature accessible to the non-specialist. The works in this series are addressed to advanced students and researchers in mathematics and theoretical physics. In addition, it can serve as a guide for lectures and seminars on a graduate level. The series de Gruyter Studies in Mathematics was founded ca. 30 years ago by the late Professor Heinz Bauer and Professor Peter Gabriel with the aim to establish a series of monographs and textbooks of high standard, written by scholars with an international reputation presenting current fields of research in pure and applied mathematics.While the editorial board of the Studies has changed with the years, the aspirations of the Studies are unchanged. In times of rapid growth of mathematical knowledge carefully written monographs and textbooks written by experts are needed more than ever, not least to pave the way for the next generation of mathematicians. In this sense the editorial board and the publisher of the Studies are devoted to continue the Studies as a service to the mathematical community. Please submit any book proposals to Niels Jacob.

Basic Process Engineering Control is based on the extensive experience of theauthors in the field of industry, teaching and writing. The textbook showcasesmethods, problems, and tools used in this well-established fi eld of chemical engineering and goes beyond traditional process engineering by applying the same principles to biomedical processes, energy production, and management of environmental issues. Starting from the behavior of processes, Basic Process Engineering Control explains all determinations in "e;chemical systems"e; or "e;process systems"e;, such as the intricate inter dependency of the process stages, analyzing the hardware components of a control system, and the design of an appropriate control system for a process parameter or a whole process. Although mainly aimed at students and graduates, the book is equally interesting to chemical or process engineers in all industries or research and development centers. Readers will notice the similarity in approach from the system and control point of view between different fields, which might otherwise seem far from each other but share the same control philosophy.

Signaturen auf Kunstwerken zeichnen sich durch Vielseitigkeit aus. Sie bestehen aus Buchstaben und haben zugleich bildliche Qualitäten. Die Beiträge des Buches untersuchen u.a. am Beispiel von Albrecht Dürer, El Greco und Rembrandt Signierpraktiken aus Mittelalter und Neuzeit. Sie diskutieren Aspekte von Autorschaft und Künstleridentität, das intermediale Zusammenspiel von Schrift und Bild und den intellektuellen Horizont von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern in verschiedenen kulturellen Milieus Europas. Dabei wird die technische Ausführung von Signaturen ebenso in den Blick genommen wie die Verwendung verschiedener Schrifttypen. Durch die Verbindung von kunsthistorischen, philologischen und restauratorischen Fragestellungen werden neue Perspektiven auf Signaturen auf Kunstwerken erschlossen.

Das Arbeitsheft bietet eine grundlegende, auf Studierende der Facher Franzosisch, Italienisch und Spanisch zugeschnittene Einfuhrung in die neuere generative Syntax. Ausgehend von der Prinzipien- und Parametertheorie (Chomsky 1981) werden vor allem die Neuerungen des generativen Modells im Rahmen des sog. Minimalistischen Programms (Chomsky 1995, 2000, 2005) behandelt. So hat der Minimalismus u. a. zu Uberlegungen gefuhrt, die mit anderen modernen Grammatiktheorien wie etwa der Optimalitatstheorie kompatibel sind. Der Band fasst wichtige Etappen in der Entwicklung der neueren Syntaxtheorie wahrend der letzten 20 Jahre zusammen und diskutiert die Neuerungen in Bezug auf ihre Operationalisierbarkeit bei der Analyse romanischer Daten. Behandelt werden Themenfelder wie Wortstellung und Informationsstruktur, Pronominalkonstruktionen sowie die Stellung der Adjektive. Weiterhin werden die Antisymmetriehypothese (Kayne 1994) und die von Rizzi (1997) vorgeschlagene Feinstruktur der Linken Satzperipherie diskutiert. Die Darstellung orientiert sich an Konzepten, die in der universitaren Lehre erprobt wurden, und erlaubt sowohl die Verwendung des Bandes in Anfangerkursen als auch die vertiefende Nutzung durch Fortgeschrittene.
