Core Element

This chapter analyzes the book of Ezekiel as a theological involvement with the besiegement, conquest, and destruction of Jerusalem at the beginning of the sixth century bce, and with the related mass deportations in 597 and 587 bce. After describing the typical features of trauma literature, this chapter identifies and examines some of the book’s traumatic discourses, with a special focus on the tropes of eating and drinking. It explains how the depicted scenes function to articulate the concrete bodily dimensions of the horrors of war, embedding the experience of famine as a core element in the siege’s cultural memory.

Focus Point

This chapter focuses on medieval biography in the Latin world, with a special focus on the period c. 1050–c. 1220. An overwhelmingly large part of the life-writing that survives from the medieval West—whether in chronicles, fictional narratives, letters, or Lives—sets out to display virtues as a source of admiration and inspiration. Such Lives presented ideals that were held up as a high standard and as an entirely positive focus point for the cultural memory of a group. It is shown, however, that especially the inspiration from Sallust’s Jugurtha and Catilina facilitated more complex portraits, especially in historiography, here exemplified through Adam of Bremen’s portrait of archbishop Adalbert of Hamburg-Bremen (1043–1072). The power and persistance of classical Latin ‘anthropological’ concepts are furthermore demonstrated through a comparison of William of Tyre’s ruler portraits in his Chronicon (c. 1184) and its French translation, Éracles (c. 1220).

Management Concept

The global competitive situation and change to customer market results in shorter product life cycles and high variant diversity as a consequence of customization. Especially in assembly systems the increasing complexity forces manufacturing companies to enhance their flexibility. In manual assembly systems the worker and the use of his cognitive skills provide the required flexibility and knowledge to perform the assembly process efficiently. The presented approach deals with an integrated technology management concept for manual assembly. Thereby, a special focus is set on support technologies which are aimed to support the cognitive skills of the worker. In the first step useful technologies have to be identified on the base of a specific search strategy. As soon as a potential technology is identified, the technology investigation starts. Core element in the concept is an impact analysis to assess the benefit of new support technologies in a specific manual assembly system.

The Way

The paper analyzes Krisztián Nyáry’s popular Facebook posts and volumes (This is the way they loved, Part One; Part Two) depicting the love life of Hungarian writers and poets. I explore how the short texts dealing with the love adventures of authors are defined by memory, which, in turn, is formed by cultic interpretation (with special focus on the Facebook posts). On the other hand, the popularity of posts is interpreted by describing the function of gossip and by Jan Asssman’s theory of communicative and cultural memory. The two formats of publishing the texts is compared, though only tangentially, with the aim of discovering the way the reception of texts change in relation to the different medial contexts.

Angioplasty And Stenting

Interventional therapies using angioplasty and stenting of symptomatic stenosis of the proximal supraaortic vessels have evolved as safe and effective treatment strategies. The aim of this paper is to summarize the current treatment concepts for stenosis in the subclavian and brachiocephalic artery with regard to clinical indication, interventional technique including selection of the appropriate vascular approach and type of stent, angiographic and clinical short-term and long-term results and follow-up. The role of hybrid interventions for tandem stenoses of the carotid bifurcation and brachiocephalic artery is analysed. A systematic review of data for angioplasty and stenting of symptomatic extracranial vertebral artery stenosis is discussed with a special focus on restenosis rate.

Abstract. Social neuroscience and psychology have made substantial advances in the last few decades. Nonetheless, the field has relied mostly on behavioral, imaging, and other correlational research methods. Here we argue that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an effective and relevant technique to be used in this field of research, allowing for the establishment of more causal brain-behavior relationships than can be achieved with most of the techniques used in this field. We review relevant brain stimulation-aided research in the fields of social pain, social interaction, prejudice, and social decision-making, with a special focus on tDCS. Despite the fact that the use of tDCS in Social Neuroscience and Psychology studies is still in its early days, results are promising. As better understanding of the processes behind social cognition becomes increasingly necessary due to political, clinical, and even philosophical demands, the fact that tDCS is arguably rare in Social Neuroscience research is very noteworthy. This review aims at inspiring researchers to employ tDCS in the investigation of issues within Social Neuroscience. We present substantial evidence that tDCS is indeed an appropriate tool for this purpose.
