Berthold Otto als Lateindidaktiker
No full textThis study on Berthold Otto as a Latin didactician explores the hitherto little-known writings on Latin teaching by the German pedagogue of the Reformpädagogik-movement (New Education Movement) Berthold Otto in the historical-didactic context of their emergence and from the methodological-didactic perspective of modern Latin teaching. In this way, it makes a novel contribution to understanding Otto as an important player in the pedagogy of his own time on the one hand and as an innovative didactician on the other. The core concern of the work is to trace Otto’s methodology for teaching Latin on the basis of his two Latin textbooks as well as the numerous explanatory preparations for original Latin writers written in Latin, the so called Tirocinia. The dissertation also highlights Otto’s unique features in the context of Latin didactics around 1900 and explores the potential inherent in these writings with regard to modern foreign language didactics in the field of Latin. In doing so, it was possible to highlight the significant potential of Otto’s work with regard to modern concepts such as internal differentiation, language education, inclusion and learner autonomy. The project encompasses the core areas of the history of ideas / intellectual history, historical educational research, philological text analysis as well as didactic methodological criticism of Otto’s approach and its updating for the requirements of modern teaching
Shakespeare’s Mirrors
No full textClear mirrors and The Geneva Bible revolutionary innovations of the Elizabethan age, inspired Shakespeare’s drive towards a new purpose for drama. Shakespeare reversed the conventional mirror metaphor for drama, implying drama cannot reflect the substance of human nature, and developed a method of characterization, through metadrama, self-awareness and soliloquy, to project St. Paul’s idea of conscience onto the Elizabethan stage. This revolutionary method of characterization, aesthetic existence beyond performance, has long been sensed but remains frustratingly uncategorized. Shakespeare’s Mirrors charts the invention of a drama that staged the unstageable: St. Paul’s metaphysical conception of human nature glimpsed through a looking glass darkly
Impulse für eine pflegebeziehungsorientierte institutionelle Kleinstkinderziehung
No full textSeit über 20 Jahren wird der Ausbau der frühkindlichen Betreuung betrieben, jedoch ohne umfassende erziehungswissenschaftliche Erforschung der Bedeutung von Pflegehandlungen. Diese Untersuchung beleuchtet die zentrale, jedoch marginalisierte Rolle von Pflegehandlungen in der Frühpädagogik. Dabei werden diese nicht mehr als reine Hygienemaßnahmen, sondern als wesentliches Element verstanden, das die psychische, physische und soziale Entwicklung des Kindes beeinflusst. Historische, politische und feministische Analysen zeigen, wie Pflegehandlungen marginalisiert wurden. Im Gegenzug dazu steht Emmi Piklers Konzept des »körperlichen Dialogs«. Dieses wird mit weiteren sozialtheoretischen Ansätzen fundiert und verdeutlicht die Relevanz von Pflegehandlungen im Diskurs von leibbezogener und beziehungsorientierter institutioneller Frühkindbetreuung

Biology of T Cells in Health and Disease
No full textMore than half a century of groundbreaking discoveries in the field of immunology have been made, and no cells have shown more potential than the lymphocytes known as T cells. These little miracles play a crucial role in protecting us from infectious diseases and cancer, as well as predisposing us to certain diseases, such as autoimmunity, when they are dysfunctional or dysregulated. This book aims to foster collaboration between world-class bench scientists and clinicians in the fields of immunology, pathology, and oncology as they come together to highlight the complexity and diversity of T cells as well as their contributions to our immune homeostasis and overall health and to discuss the revolutionary therapeutic applications of T cells in fighting infectious diseases, autoimmunity, and malignant neoplasms
Creep Effect and Prediction Method of Dynamic Disaster of Surrounding Rock

The Routledge Handbook of Law and Death
No full textThe Routledge Handbook of Law and Death provides a comprehensive survey of contemporary scholarship on the intersections of law and death in the 21st century.
It showcases how socio-legal scholars have contributed to the critical turn in death studies and how the sociology of death has impacted upon the discipline of law. In bringing together prominent academics and emerging experts from a diverse range of disciplines, the Handbook shows how, far from shunning questions of mortality, legal institutions incessantly talk about death. Touching upon the epistemologies and materialities of death, and problems of contested deaths and posthumous harms, the Handbook questions what is distinctive about the disciplinary alignment of law and death, how law regulates and manages death in the everyday, and how thinking with law can enrich our understandings of the presence of death in our lives.
In a time when the world is facing global inequalities in living and dying, and legal institutions are increasingly interrogating their relationships to death, this Handbook makes for essential reading for scholars, students, and practitioners in law, humanities, and the social sciences
