Sommario/riassunto

Having elicited much attention in the humanities in recent years, transcultural phenomena will, in all probability, remain a topic of debate in the near future. Being the product of a collaborative act of writing involving nine authors with different specializations, this study is an introduction to the study of phenomena of transcultural entanglement as well as an effort at systematically exploring this field of research from different medievalist perspectives.

Transkulturelle Phänomene haben in den letzten Jahren zunehmend die Aufmerksamkeit der Forschung auf sich gezogen und werden aller Voraussicht nach auch in den nächsten Jahren Gegenstand geisteswissenschaftlicher Debatten sein. Als Ergebnis eines kollaborativen Schreibaktes versteht sich der vorliegende Band sowohl als Einführung in die Untersuchung transkultureller Verflechtungsphänomene wie auch als Versuch einer systematischen Durchdringung dieses Forschungsfeldes aus unterschiedlichen mediävistischen Perspektiven. Er befasst sich zunächst auf



theoretischer Ebene mit der Entwicklung und den Entstehungshintergründen des transkulturellen Paradigmas. In zahlreichen Quellenstudien erörtert er ferner, wie transkulturelle Verflechtungsprozesse in mittelalterlichen Quellen unterschiedlicher Herkunft und Art benannt, beschrieben und bewertet werden. Auf dieser Grundlage wird der Versuch unternommen, unter Nutzung der Begriffe 'Netzwerk', 'Gewebe', 'rhizomatisches Geflecht' und 'Fusion' verschiedene Modelle transkultureller Verflechtung zu definieren und anhand der Quellen auszuarbeiten. Ergänzend erfolgt eine ebenfalls quellengestützte Beschäftigung mit den reziproken Beziehungen zwischen Verflechtungs- und Entflechtungsprozessen. Sie mündet in abschliessende Überlegungen zu der Frage, welchen methodischen Chancen und Risiken sich eine historisch arbeitende Forschung ausgesetzt sieht, die das transkulturelle Paradigma für die konkrete Arbeit an den Quellen nutzen möchte. Indem der Band die Genese aktueller methodischer Diskussionen nachzeichnet und diese anhand von mehr als fünfzig kurzen Quellenanalysen konkretisiert, eignet er sich in idealer Weise für den Einsatz in Studium und Lehre. Darüber hinaus bietet er durch die systematische Darstellung sowie die Reflexionen zu Theorie und praktischer Anwendung des transkulturellen Ansatzes zahlreiche Anregungen für die weitere Forschungsdiskussion.

Sommario/riassunto

The book dissects the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of the leading causes of global morbidity and mortality, i.e.cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. The chapters discuss topics related to the role reactive oxygen species (ROS) play in hypertension, atherosclerosis,diabetes, obesity and related pathologies. The authors also shed light on gender differences in the onset and pathologies of some of these diseases. Moreover, how ROS and aging interplay to precipitate cardiovasculo-metabolic disease is discussed and highlighted. Preventive measures that can abrogate ROS-induced cardiovasclo-metabolic disease are discussed and clarified in the hope of reducing such a debilitating battery of diseases. A section dedicated to antioxidants as potential therapy is also included. Furthermore, given the complexity of the mechanisms implicated in ROS-modulated responses, it remains challenging to assert a conclusive argument and pre-determined regimen for incorporating antioxidants into conventional therapies. Nonetheless, results from some clinical trials appear promising, warranting the addition of a chapter dedicated to such human trials. In all of the chapters, the molecular, cellular, genetic, and pharmacological mechanisms implicated are covered from an applied science perspective. This is an ideal book for basic researchers in the biomedical field, graduate students in biological and biomedical fields, medical students, instructors in medical and graduate schools, and professionals working for pharmaceutical companies.

Sommario/riassunto

A recurring nightmare awakens eighteen year-old John Moore in a panic. For nearly a year the same terrifying dreams have haunted the young pirate: demon-faced thieves murdering a sleeping crew and a devastating fire aboard a small brigantine. When John recognizes a small token from his dreams in a drawer aboard his father's ship, he begins to realize that these nightmares may have dangerous ties with reality. After a foolish mistake rips John away from his old life, he discovers that his destiny lies in the secrets of an old shipwreck. With nothing to lose, the pirate embarks on a quest to find the legendary wreckage, all the while piecing together his past.
