• Sommario/riassunto: Frühes Wissen um Mensch und Natur weist häufig kulturelle Parallelen auf. Daraus ergibt sich die Unterscheidung zwischen universellen und spezifischen Konzepten. Universell meint dabei weniger etwas, das überall und stets vorhanden ist, als vielmehr etwas, das zeitlich und räumlich bei vergleichbaren Voraussetzungen unabhängig entstehen kann. Der Band greift Phänomene der Klassifizierung und Kategorisierung in alten und modernen Kulturen auf. Im Vordergrund steht eine Gesamtschau der kulturellen Praktiken, wie Individuen und soziale Gruppen sich ihre Welt aufteilen und welche kognitiven Systeme dabei gruppenübergreifend wirksam werden. Wie kann man Klassifizierungen und Kategorisierungen auf der Ebene von Schrift, Sprache, Abbild und Frames fassen? Gibt es Hierarchisierungen? Werden differierende Klassifizierungssysteme in verschiedenen sozialen Gruppierungen bzw. in unterschiedlichen Medien sichtbar? Altertumswissenschaftler, Anthropologen, Linguisten u.a. gewinnen durch eine synchron und diachron vergleichende Perspektive Methoden zur Rückgewinnung früher Konzepte von Mensch und Natur.; The volume presents phenomena of classification and categorisation in ancient and modern cultures and provides an overview of how cultural practices and cognitive systems interact when individuals or larger groups conceptually organize their world. Scientists of antiquity studies, anthropologists, linguists etc. will find methods to reconstruct early concepts of men and nature from a synchronic and diachronic comparative perspective.

• Sommario/riassunto: Nutritional epidemiology examines dietary or nutritional factors in relation to the occurrence of disease in various populations. It is a fact that substantial progress has been made in recent years in nutritional epidemiology. Compared to the practice during the 1990s, and with the improvements in data analytics, several new approaches are gaining ground. Results from a variety of large-scale studies in the field of nutrition epidemiology have substantially contributed toward the evidence used in guiding dietary recommendations for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, some types of cancer, and other morbidities. In this Special Issue, we would like to bring readers closer to the state-of-the-art in the field by gathering papers covering different aspects of nutrition epidemiology from population-based observational studies. Topics of the submitted articles may, but not necessarily, include eating habits of various populations, especially of those not well-studied, such as in Africa, Oceania, South Americas, immigrants, minorities, as well as a variety of associations between nutrients/foods/food patterns and chronic diseases, like cardiovascular, diabetes, obesity, cancer, etc., and gene-nutrient and epigenome-nutrient interactions related to human health at all ages.
