The Suspension of Reason in Hegel and Schelling
Authors: Lauer Christopher 
Published: September 2014

In this rigorous historical analysis, Lauer challenges traditional readings that have reduced two of German idealism's most important thinkers to opposing caricatures: Hegel the uncompromising systematist blind to the novelty and contingency of human life and Schelling the protean thinker drawn to all manner of pseudoscientific charlatanry. Bringing together recent scholarship that is just beginning to realise Schelling's centrality in the overthrow of metaphysics and Hegel's openness to diversity and innovation, this book shows that both thinkers can be read as contributing to the Kantian project of showing both the utter necessity and the limitations of reason.
In readings of texts spanning each thinker's career, Lauer shows that animating much of Hegel and Schellings' most passionate work is their recognition of the need neither for a canonization of reason nor for its overthrow, but for its 'suspension'. Their lifelong willingness to revisit both their definitions of reason and their accounts of its role in philosophy give these discussions a vitality and depth that few in the history of philosophy can match.
Understanding Henri Lefebvre
Authors: Elden Stuart 
Published: September 2014

Henri Lefebvre has been celebrated as one of the most influential social theorists of the twentieth century. Understanding Henri Lefebvre places Lefebvre in his historical and intellectual context and analyzes the extraordinary range of his work, across politics, philosophy, history, literature and culture.
Particular emphasis is given to Lefebvre's trilogy of inspirational thinkers-Hegel, Marx and Nietzsche; his links to contemporaries such as Heidegger, Axelos and the Situationalists; and his critiques of existentialism and structuralism. Analysis of his writings on cities are balanced with those on rural communities, the production of space connected to ideas of time and history, and everyday life linked to the festival and cultural revolution.
Understanding Henri Lefebvre offers the most wide-ranging and reliable account of this central theorist available.
Rethinking Philosophy and Theology with Deleuze
Authors: Adkins Brent , Hinlicky Paul R. 
Published: September 2014

The debate between faith and reason has been a dominant feature of Western thought for more than two millennia. This book takes up the problem of the relation between philosophy and theology and proposes that this relation can be reconceived if both philosophy and theology are seen as different ways of organising affects.
Brent Adkins and Paul R. Hinlicky break new ground in this timely debate in two ways. Firstly, they lay bare the contemporary dependence on Kant and propose that our Kantian inheritance leaves us with an insuperable dualism. Secondly, the authors argue that the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze provides a way of resolving the debate between faith and reason that does justice to philosophy and theology by reconceiving of both as assemblages. Deleuze's philosophy differentiates domains of thought in terms of what they create. This seems like a particularly fruitful way to pursue the problem of the relations among philosophy and theology because it allows their distinction without at the same time placing them in opposition to one another.
Secular Steeples
Authors: Ostwalt Conrad 
Published: September 2014

An exploration of secularization in America, this book provides students with an innovative way of understanding the relationship between religion and secular culture. In Secular Steeples, Conrad Ostwalt challenges long-held assumptions about the relationship between religion and culture and about the impact of secularization. Moving away from the idea that religion will diminish as secularization continues, Ostwalt identifies areas of popular culture where secular and sacred views and objectives interact and enrich each other.
The book demonstrates how religious institutions use the secular and popular media of television, movies, and music to make sacred teachings relevant. From megachurches to sports arenas, the Bible to Harry Potter, biker churches to virtual worship communities, Ostwalt demonstrates how religion persists across cultural forms, secular and sacred, with secular culture expressing religious messages and sometimes containing more authentic religious content than official religious teachings.
An ideal text for anyone studying religion and popular culture, each chapter provides questions for discussion, a list of important terms and guided readings.
Acts 15-28
Authors: Barrett C.K. 
Published: September 2014

For over one hundred years, the International Critical Commentary series has held a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic and textual no less than archaeological, historical, literary and theological-with a level of comprehension and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series.
No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought. The first paperback editions to be published cover the heart of the New Testament, providing a wealth of information and research in accessible and attractive format.
Interreligious Studies
Authors: Leirvik Oddbjørn 
Published: September 2014

The notion of Interreligious Studies signals a new academic perspective on the study of religion, characterized by a relational approach. Interreligious Studies defines the essential features of interreligious studies compared with alternative conceptions of religious studies and theology. The book discusses pressing and salient challenges in interreligious relations, including interreligious dialogue in practice and theory, interfaith dialogue and secularity, confrontational identity politics, faith-based diplomacy, the question of interfaith learning in school, and interreligious responses to extremism.
Interreligious Studies is a cutting-edge study from one of the most important voices in Europe in the field, Oddbjørn Leirvik, and includes case study material from his native Norway including interreligious responses to the bomb attack in Norway on 22nd July 2011, as well as examples from a number of other national and global contexts
Expanding discussions on interreligious dialogue and the relationship between religions in new and interesting ways, this book is a much-needed addition to the growing literature on interreligious studies.
Fame Attack
Authors: Rojek Chris 
Published: September 2014

The follow up to Chris Rojek's hugely successful Celebrity, this book assesses celebrity culture today. It explores how the fads, fashions and preoccupations of celebrities enter the popular lifeblood, explains what is distinctive about contemporary celebrity, and reveals the psychological, social and economic consequences of fame both upon the public and celebrities themselves.
The book develops the framework for looking at celebrity culture which Rojek set out back in 2001, by showing how ascribed celebrity, achieved celebrity and celetoids overlap. The book gives a new emphasis to the role of the media and public relations in engineering fame, and the psychological consequences of celebrity - notably Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Celebrity Worship Syndrome.
The book is a landmark contribution in explaining how celebrities dominate the social horizon and why we need them.
Satisfaction with life and posttraumatic growth in persons after myocardial infarction
Authors: Ogińska-Bulik Nina 
Published: September 2014

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between the level of satisfaction with life and posttraumatic growth as a consequence of experiencing the traumatic event of myocardial infarction. The study group consisted of 86 persons (62 men and 24 women), aged 36-87 (M = 60.50, SD = 10.05), who experienced myocardial infarction. Half of them participated in a rehabilitation program. Two methods were used in the study: the Satisfaction with Life Questionnaire and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory.<br />
One in four of the participants revealed a high level of posttraumatic growth. Gender, age and time since the occurrence of myocardial infarction did not have an impact on the level of posttraumatic changes, while participation in a rehabilitation program was a factor which increased the level of benefits from trauma. The results revealed a poor relationship between satisfaction with life and positive changes after trauma. The overall score of the Satisfaction with Life Questionnaire correlates only with positive changes in relations to others. The most important dimension of satisfaction with life was found to be satisfaction with leisure time, which was positively related to changes in three areas: changes in relations to others, appreciation of life and spiritual changes.
Progressive pseudorheumatoid arthropathy of childhood – do we know this disease?ująca rzekomoreumatoidalna artropatia dziecięca
Authors: Gazda Agnieszka , Kołodziejczyk Beata , Rutkowska-Sak Lidia , Hernik Elżbieta , Szczygielska Izabela 
Published: September 2014

Postępująca rzekomoreumatoidalna artropatia dziecięca to wrodzona dysplazja szkieletowa dziedzicząca się autosomalnie recesywnie. Choroba jest wynikiem mutacji genu WISP 3. Pierwotnie zmiany patologiczne dotyczą chrząstki stawowej ulegającej stałej degradacji i zanikowi. Ujawniające się ok. 3.–8. roku życia objawy klinicznie przypominają młodzieńcze idiopatyczne zapalenie stawów. Choroba charakteryzuje się postępującą niezapalną poliartropatią małych i dużych stawów oraz zmianami w kręgosłupie. Pojawia się poszerzenie zarysów stawów obwodowych, a następnie postępujące ograniczenia ruchomości stawów obwodowych oraz kręgosłupa. W badaniach radiologicznych stawów widoczne jest poszerzenie dystalnych części kości długich i krótkich oraz zwężenie przestrzeni stawowej i uogólniona osteoporoza. W kręgosłupie typowe są niskie, zwężające się ku przodowi trzony kręgów (platyspondylia) z nieregularnym ukształtowaniem przedniej krawędzi trzonów kręgowych oraz zwężenie przestrzeni międzykręgowych. W diagnostyce różnicowej poza młodzieńczym idiopatycznym zapaleniem stawów należy wykluczyć inne układowe zapalne choroby tkanki łącznej, młodzieńcze spondyloartropatie, mukopolisacharydozy oraz inne wrodzone dysplazje kostne.
O jogo do erro e da verdade nos diálogos filosóficos de Voltaire
Authors: Pujol Stéphane 
Published: September 2014

Tudo se passa como se a escrita filosófica de Voltaire se desenvolvesse em uma dupla oposição: de um lado, ela visa denunciar o palavrório dos fazedores de sistemas e a cacofonia a que ele conduz, opondo-lhes a prudência e a modéstia; de outro, ela pretende restaurar, contra a tentação cética, o direito à busca da verdade. Em Voltaire, o discurso filosófico nasce desta tensão, do desejo de dizer o mundo e da vontade de se calar, tensão que a escolha do diálogo tem por função explicitar, dramatizando-a. Perguntamo-nos, então, sobre o lugar e o estatuto da filosofia nos Diálogos. Conteúdo ou continente, conjunto de temas ou modalidade discursiva, a filosofia não está tranquila nesses textos, ela aparece em muitos aspectos como uma exigência problemática.

Published: September 2014

AbstractThis study presents a fusion of data‐driven and physics‐driven methodologies of energetic electron flux forecasting in the outer radiation belt. Data‐driven NARMAX (Nonlinear AutoRegressive Moving Averages with eXogenous inputs) model predictions for geosynchronous orbit fluxes have been used as an outer boundary condition to drive the physics‐based Versatile Electron Radiation Belt (VERB) code, to simulate energetic electron fluxes in the outer radiation belt environment. The coupled system has been tested for three extended time periods totalling several weeks of observations. The time periods involved periods of quiet, moderate, and strong geomagnetic activity and captured a range of dynamics typical of the radiation belts. The model has successfully simulated energetic electron fluxes for various magnetospheric conditions. Physical mechanisms that may be responsible for the discrepancies between the model results and observations are discussed.
Connecting early summer cloud‐controlled sunlight and late summer sea ice in the Arctic

Published: September 2014

AbstractThis study demonstrates that absorbed solar radiation (ASR) at the top of the atmosphere in early summer (May–July) plays a precursory role in determining the Arctic sea ice concentration (SIC) in late summer (August–October). The monthly ASR anomalies are obtained over the Arctic Ocean (65°N–90°N) from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System during 2000–2013. The ASR changes primarily with cloud variation. We found that the ASR anomaly in early summer is significantly correlated with the SIC anomaly in late summer (correlation coefficient, r ≈ −0.8 with a lag of 1 to 4 months). The region exhibiting high (low) ASR anomalies and low (high) SIC anomalies varies yearly. The possible reason is that the solar heat input to ice is most effectively affected by the cloud shielding effect under the maximum TOA solar radiation in June and amplified by the ice‐albedo feedback. This intimate delayed ASR‐SIC relationship is not represented in most of current climate models. Rather, the models tend to over‐emphasize internal sea ice processes in summer.
Quantitative generalizations for catchment sediment yield following forest logging
Authors: Bathurst James C. , Iroumé Andrés 
Published: September 2014

AbstractPublished data for temperate forests across the world are analyzed to investigate the potential for generalized quantitative expressions of catchment sediment yield impact in the years immediately following logging. Such generalizations would be useful in a variety of forestry and engineering tasks and would aid the spread of knowledge amongst both relevant professionals and new students. Data were assembled for paired catchment studies (51 catchments including 16 controls) that enabled the postlogging sediment yield impact to be compared with both the prelogging period and an undisturbed control catchment, using a specially defined relative response factor. Three categories of impact were derived: low‐moderate, high, and very high, defined by specific ranges in the maximum value of the relative response factor. The maximum increase in specific sediment yield (in t km−2 yr−1) following logging is 1 order of magnitude above the control sediment yield at both the annual and storm event scales, at least under normal circumstances of Best Management Practice. There is no apparent relationship between sediment yield and the proportion of catchment logged, at least at the general scale. A cumulative probability distribution for the year in which the maximum postlogging sediment yield occurs, shows the majority of cases falling in the first 2 years. These generalizations refer to the broad response to logging as a function of ground disturbance, for example, by logging technique, roads, and burning. Although limited to order of magnitude quantification, they provide a basis for first estimates and for a general appreciation of an impact problem.

Published: September 2014

ObjectiveTo determine, at 6 weeks postsurgery, if a monitored home exercise program (HEP) is not inferior to usual care rehabilitation for patients undergoing primary unilateral total knee replacement (TKR) surgery for osteoarthritis.MethodsWe conducted a multicenter, randomized clinical trial. Patients ages 45–75 years were allocated at the time of hospital discharge to usual care rehabilitation (n = 196) or the HEP (n = 194). Outcomes assessed 6 weeks after surgery included the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index pain and physical function subscales, knee range of motion, and the 50‐foot walk time. The upper bound of the 95% confidence interval (95% CI) mean difference favoring usual care was used to determine noninferiority.ResultsAt 6 weeks after surgery there were no significant differences between usual care and HEP, respectively, for pain (7.4 and 7.2; 95% CI mean difference [MD] −0.7, 0.9), physical function (22.5 and 22.4; 95% CI MD −2.5, 2.6), knee flexion (96° and 97°; 95% CI MD −4°, 2°), knee extension (−7° and −6°; 95% CI MD −2°, 1°), or the 50‐foot walk time (12.9 and 12.9 seconds; 95% CI MD −0.8, 0.7 seconds). At 6 weeks, 18 patients (9%) allocated to usual care and 11 (6%) to the HEP did not achieve 80° knee flexion. There was no difference between the treatment allocations in the number of hospital readmissions.ConclusionThe HEP was not inferior to usual care as an early rehabilitation protocol after primary TKR.
Tramadol—A True Natural Product?
Authors: Kusari Souvik , Tatsimo Simplice Joel N. , Zühlke Sebastian , Talontsi Ferdinand M. , Kouam Simeon Fogue , Spiteller Michael 
Published: September 2014

AbstractWe have independently investigated the source of tramadol, a synthetic analgesic largely used for treating moderate to severe pain in humans, recently found in the roots of the Cameroonian medicinal plant, Nauclea latifolia. We found tramadol and its three major mammalian metabolites (O‐desmethyltramadol, N‐desmethyltramadol, and 4‐hydroxycyclohexyltramadol) in the roots of N. latifolia and five other plant species, and also in soil and local water bodies only in the Far North region of Cameroon. The off‐label administration of tramadol to cattle in this region leads to cross‐contamination of the soil and water through feces and urine containing parent tramadol as well as tramadol metabolites produced in the animals. These compounds can then be absorbed by the plant roots and also leached into the local water supplies. The presence of tramadol in roots is, thus, due to an anthropogenic contamination with the synthetic compound.
The Asymmetric Hetero‐Diels–Alder Reaction in the Syntheses of Biologically Relevant Compounds
Authors: Eschenbrenner‐Lux Vincent , Kumar Kamal , Waldmann Herbert 
Published: September 2014

AbstractThe hetero‐Diels–Alder reaction is one of the most powerful transformations in the chemistry toolbox for the synthesis of aza‐ and oxa‐heterocycles embodying multiple stereogenic centers. However, as compared to other cycloadditions, in particular the dipolar cycloadditions and the Diels–Alder reaction, the hetero‐Diels–Alder reaction has been much less explored and exploited in organic synthesis. Nevertheless, this powerful transformation has opened up efficient and creative routes to biologically relevant small molecules and different natural products which contain six‐membered oxygen or nitrogen ring systems. Recent developments in this field, in particular in the establishment of enantioselectively catalyzed hetero‐Diels–Alder cycloadditions steered by a plethora of different catalysts and the application of the resulting small molecules in chemical biology and medicinal chemistry research, are highlighted in this Minireview.

AbstractThe three novel, discrete palladium(II)‐oxo clusters [CaPd12O8(PhAsO3)8]6− (CaPd12), [SrPd12O6(OH)3(PhAsO3)6(OAc)3]4− (SrPd12), and [BaPd15O10(PhAsO3)10]8− (BaPd15) encapsulating alkaline earth metal ions were prepared and fully characterized by a multitude of solution and solid‐state physicochemical techniques. We have discovered a structure‐directing template effect induced by the respective size of the alkaline earth guest ion, which determines the detailed condensation arrangement of the peripheral PdII‐oxo shell. The unprecedented SrPd12 with an open‐shell type structure is of particular importance and reflects a successful strategy for deliberate design of new structural classes of polyoxo‐noble‐metalates. Furthermore, the unusual acetate–water ligand exchange phenomenon renders SrPd12 as a promising candidate for noble‐metal‐based catalysis.
Insect‐Derived Proline‐Rich Antimicrobial Peptides Kill Bacteria by Inhibiting Bacterial Protein Translation at the 70 S Ribosome
Authors: Krizsan Andor , Volke Daniela , Weinert Stefanie , Sträter Norbert , Knappe Daniel , Hoffmann Ralf 
Published: September 2014

AbstractProline‐rich antimicrobial peptides (PrAMPs) have been investigated and optimized by several research groups and companies as promising lead compounds to treat systemic infections caused by Gram‐negative bacteria. PrAMPs, such as apidaecins and oncocins, enter the bacteria and kill them apparently through inhibition of specific targets without a lytic effect on the membranes. Both apidaecins and oncocins were shown to bind with nanomolar dissociation constants to the 70S ribosome. In apidaecins, at least the two C‐terminal residues (Arg17 and Leu18) interact strongly with the 70S ribosome, whereas residues Lys3, Tyr6, Leu7, and Arg11 are the major interaction sites in oncocins. Oncocins inhibited protein biosynthesis very efficiently in vitro with half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50 values) of 150 to 240 nmol L−1. The chaperone DnaK is most likely not the main target of PrAMPs but it binds them with lower affinity.
Enantioselective Divergent Syntheses of Several Polyhalogenated Plocamium Monoterpenes and Evaluation of Their Selectivity for Solid Tumors

Published: September 2014

AbstractThe family of polyhalogenated monoterpenes from Plocamium counts over a hundred known members. Using glyceraldehyde acetonide as a chiral‐pool precursor, an enantioselective and divergent strategy was developed that provides a blueprint for the synthesis of many of the small yet complex acyclic members of this family. The broad applicability of this approach is demonstrated with the short, eight‐step synthesis of four natural products and three analogues. These syntheses are the first of any members of the acyclic polyhalogenated Plocamium monoterpenes and permitted the evaluation of their selectivity against a range of tumor cell lines.
