Rapporter om krigets grymhet och fasansfulla konsekvenser når oss nästan varje minut. Det offentliga samtalet i Sverige och Europa har de senaste åren handlat mer och mer om att till varje pris förbereda sig på krig. Men när kriget är som mest närvarande är det viktigare än någonsin att hålla samtalen om fred vid liv. I Fronesis nummer 84–85 tar vi ett steg tillbaka från dagspolitiken. Vi undersöker hur den breda vänstern har förstått fredens teori och praktik för att öppna för tankar, samtal och drömmar bortom den omedelbara vapenvilan. De tyska marxisterna Karl Liebknecht och Rosa Luxemburg ger sin syn på vänsterns fredsstiftande roll, och amerikanska fredsaktivisten Jane Addams beskriver känslan av att verka för fred när hela ens land rör sig i motsatt riktning. Historikern Fredrik Egefur sätter in historiska fredsrörelser i deras sammanhang och förklarar deras syn på sambandet mellan fred, antimilitarism och klasskamp. Fredsaktivisten Nela Porobić skriver om hur nyliberal ideologi format fredsbyggande och försvårat en hållbar och rättvis fred. Sociologen Måns Lundstedt pekar på hur förutsättningarna för att tala om fred i offentligheten försämrats i takt med att en alltmer statscentrerad och tillitslös politisk berättelse kommit att dominera den politiska mittfåran. Filosofen Michael Hardt och politiska teoretikern Sandro Mezzadra tecknar konturerna av en ”global krigsregim”, där ekonomiska och geopolitiska intressen samverkar för att göra kriget ständigt närvarande. Men kriget har alltid utmanats av rörelser och praktiker för fred. Historikern Jenny Gustafsson skildrar Världsmedborgarrörelsen, som under 1950-talet verkade för fred genom att vägra delta i nationalstatsprojektet. Fredsaktivisten Lina Hjärtström beskriver hur internationella kampanjer för humanitär nedrustning kan bryta ned militarismen genom att växla fokus från nationell till mänsklig säkerhet. Till slut diskuteras ickevåld i två texter. Statsvetaren Gene Sharp teoretiserar sambanden mellan makt, deltagande och motstånd. Retorikprofessorn Judith Butler nystar i begreppet ickevåld utifrån en diskussion om hur det våld som självförsvar rättfärdigar oundvikligen delar in människor i sörjbara och icke sörjbara.

This is the third and final volume in the comprehensive three-volume set of commentaries on all of the lectionary texts for Sunday reading (including the Psalms) and for special days in all communions, treating the readings for each year in a single volume.The three volumes are based on The Common Lectionary (1992) together with other readings kept in the Episcopal, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic churches. A complete index of texts is included in each volume, making it useful for those who do not follow the lectionary or who are looking for commentaries on specific texts.Continuing acclaim for the series -"There is no better one-volume resource for the weekly task of preparing sermons grounded in biblical faith. Over the course of the past year, the four authors have become my good and trusted friends as they helped me find something to say that is both lively and true to the text." -The Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor, Grace-Calvary Episcopal Church, Clarkesville, Georgia"Simply put, the best commentary series on the best lectionary. An unusual blend of biblical and homiletical skills." -James F. White, Professor of Liturgy, University of Notre Dame"Its exegeses are well written and extremely helpful in preparing sermons. I and my congregation are appreciative of this source. I look forward to reading the next volume in the series, and in the meantime I find myself continuing to browse through, study, reflect upon, write in the margins of, and otherwise use the previous volume." -The Rev. Rebecca L. Spencer, Central Congregational Church, Providence, Rhode Island"Professors Craddock, Hayes, Holladay, and Tucker have already established themselves as insightful and helpful interpreters of the scriptures. These volumes significantly broaden their previous contributions by embracing all the alternatives offered by the recent revision of The Common Lectionary. The publishing values - the convenience of a single volume, a binding that lays flat, and clear, readable type - make this an indispensable addition or replacement for the preacher''s library." -The Rev. Patrick J. Willson, St. Stephen''s Presbyterian Church, Fort Worth, TexasThe authors of the outstanding series teach at Candler School of Theology, Emory University. All have published extensively in their respective fields of endeavors: Fred B. Craddock, Professor of Preaching and New Testament; John H Hayes, Professor of Old Testament; Carl R. Holladay, Professor of New Testament; Gene M. Tucker, Professor of Old Testament.

This is the second volume in a comprehensive three-volume set of commentaries on all of the lectionary texts for Sunday reading (including the Psalms) and for special days in all communions, treating the readings for each year in a single volume. Preaching Through the Christian Year volumes are based on the newly revised The Common Lectionary (1992) together with other readings kept in the Episcopal, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic churches.The set will prove useful also for those who do not follow the lectionary, since each volume provides commentaries on a vast number of texts and includes a complete index of those texts."Simply put, the best commentary series on the best lectionary. An unusual blend of biblical and homiletical skills."--James F. White"This could be the Interpreter''s Bible for our generation. The comments are succinct and satisfying on all counts."--David H. C. ReadThe authors of this important series teach at Candler School of Theology at Emory University, Atlanta, and are renowned scholars in their particular disciplines-preaching and Hebrew Bible and New Testament studies.

Molecular Mechanisms in the Control of Gene Expression documents the proceedings of the ICN-UCLA conference on Molecular Mechanisms in the Control of Gene Expression, organized through the Molecular Biology Institute of UCLA, held in Keystone, Colorado, 21-26 March 1976. The conference focused on three topics: the action of repressors on specific nucleotide sequences in DNA; how DNA and histones are intertwined in eucaryotic chromosomes; and in the development of new techniques that appear to lift genes from complex genomes. The volume contains 65 chapters organized into nine parts. The papers in Part I examine the organization of prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes. Part II presents studies on the interaction of RNA a polymerase and regulatory molecules with defined DNA sites. Parts III and IV focus on RNA polymerases of eukaryotes and the regulation of transcription in eukaryotic systems, respectively. Part V contains papers dealing with nucleic acid sequences, transcription, and processing. Part VI covers cellular aspects in the study of gene expression. Part VII takes up cloning while Part VIII is devoted to genetic analysis through restriction mapping and molecular cloning. Finally, Part IX summarizes the recent progress reported at the conference and also indicates some of the limitations that can be placed upon interpretation of data.

Gene transfer technology is a powerful tool for increasing our understandingof brain functions. It is also the basis of gene therapy, which is now technically possible for the correction of many human diseases, including several disorders of the nervous (and muscular) system such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and dystrophy. This volume,which contains the proceedings of a symposium of the Fondation Ipsen, provides a unique view of the state of the art on different transgenes, vectors, target cells, and clinical applications related to the nervous system.

For almost five decades, the band known as Riders in the Sky (“America’s Favorite Cowboys”) has entertained and delighted audiences in Nashville and throughout the United States with their mixture of quirky sendups of the silver-screen Western and their “faultless, evocative instrumentation, perfect harmony, fantasy, and humor.” Remarkably, the original Riders—Ranger Doug Green (“The Idol of American Youth”), “Too Slim” (or alternately, “Side Meat”), Fred Labour, and Woody Paul Chrisman (“The King of Cowboy Fiddlers”)—have continued to perform together since their first gig on a cold, rainy night in November 1978. Occasionally described as “the most educated band in country music” because of Woody Paul’s PhD in plasma physics from MIT, Doug’s MA in literature from Vanderbilt, and Too Slim’s degree in environmental studies from the University of Michigan, the group has been a popular fixture at the Grand Ole Opry since 1982. Master accordionist Joey Miskulin, a “road scholar” since age 13, joined the band during its second decade and was with them when they won Grammy awards for their work with Disney-Pixar for the albums that accompanied Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc. Their appeal to multigenerational audiences continues unabated. Riders in the Sky: Romancing the West with Music and Humor will entertain and inform both the group’s legions of dedicated fans and aficionados of country and western music.

Nuclear Structure and Gene Expression assimilates the contributions of genome organization and of the components of the nuclear matrix to the control of DNA and RNA synthesis. Nuclear domains which accommodate DNA replication and gene expression are considered in relation to short-term developmental and homeostatic requirements as well as to long-term commitments to phenotypic gene expression in differentiated cells. Consideration is given to the involvement of nuclear structure in gene localization as well as to the targeting and concentration of transcription factors. Aberrations in nuclear architecture associated with and potentially functionally related to pathologies are evaluated. Tumor cells are described from the perspective of the striking modifications in both the composition and organization of nuclear components. Nuclear Structure and Gene Expression presents concepts as well as experimental approaches, which define functionality of nuclear morphology.* Mechanisms of interaction between nuclear structure and genes* Gene expression regulation by elements of the nuclear matrix* How nuclear structure exerts a regulatory effect on other aspects of cell function/physiology

Bei personenbezogenen Dienstleistungen ist das Objekt der Dienstleistung ein Subjekt. Damit stellen sich besondere Anforderungen an die Individualisierung von Dienstleistungsarbeit und den Umgang mit der sich daraus ergebenden Interaktionsdynamik. Zugleich wird es angesichts sich verändernder Rahmenbedingungen immer wichtiger, Skalen-, Synergie- und Rationalisierungseffekte zu erzielen. Wie lässt sich beides miteinander verbinden? Dazu sind in der vorliegenden Publikation grundlegende Reflexionen und prototypische Lösungsansätze zu finden. Sie basieren auf Erfahrungen, die zunächst im Anwendungsfeld „Seltene Krankheiten“ gewonnen wurden, sich aber auch auf andere Bereiche übertragen lassen.

Das vorliegende Buch behandelt umfassend und fachübergreifend die urologische Rehabilitation von Patienten, deren neurologische Grund- oder Sekundärerkrankung zu einer Schädigung der Harnblase und/oder der Geschlechtsorgane geführt hat.
