Christian imagination engaged Hades from the very beginning; already the canonical epistle 1 Peter talks of preaching among the dead. Synesius of Cyrene’s hymns and the Odes of Solomon exemplify, in different ways, how early Christian poets use the katabasis motif. Most of the early texts describe Christ’s visit to the underworld. He descends and resurrects, and in doing so he saves the dead from

In this paper we estimate the computational cutoff rate for sequential decoding when used together with short interleaving to communicate over the Gilbert-Elliot channel.

To fulfill increasing requirements in the manufacturing sector, companies are faced with several challenges. Three major challenges have been identified regarding time-to-market, vertical feedback loops and level of automation. Grafchart, a graphical language aimed for supervisory control applications, can be used from the process-planning phase, through the implementation phase and all the way to

The contributions in this book have demonstrated that sociology of law is a rich and complex subject that contains a wide range of theoretical approaches which can be used to study law. There are however fundamental disagreements over how sociology of law should develop. In this chapter, we will review these debates, and examine the institutional obstacles which prevent it from developing in the s

This study argues that Vietnamese girls' socialization is inseparable from the symbolic and biological meaning of female and male bodies. Socialization is not so much about "sex" (i.e. biological sex) or "gender" (i.e. social/symbolic sex) as it is about "body". This argument is elaborated theoretically with regard to contemporary research on the body and empirically with respect to a local north

Popular Abstract in Swedish Allt liv på jorden bygger på fotosyntesen. Det är den process där växterna fångar upp solljuset och gör om det till kemisk energi. Med den energin producerar de syret i luften och kolhydrater för sin egen tillväxt, med kol från luftens koldioxid. Djuren äter kolhydraterna och förbränner dem med hjälp av luftens syre, samtidigt som de andas ut koldioxid. På detta sätt leIn this work the lateral heterogeneity of the thylakoid membrane was investigated by quantifying the amount of photosystem I (PSI), photosystem II (PSII) and some PSII complexes and PSII proteins in different domains of the thylakoid. Grana, grana core, grana margins and stroma lamellae + end fractions were obtained by sonication and separation in a non-detergent, aqueous polymer two-phase system

The intrastriatal 6-hydroxydopamine lesion model in rats is particularly useful in studies testing new therapeutic strategies for Parkinson’s disease. This thesis work (1) describes the characterization of the motor deficits after different types of intrastriatal lesions and identifies the four-site terminal lesion as a model of symptomatic Parkinson’s disease; (2) using the same model, provides e

This book connects two linguistic phenomena, modality and subordinators, so that both are seen in a new light, each adding to the understanding of the other. It argues that general subordinators (or complementizers) denote propositional modality (otherwise expressed by moods such as the indicative-subjunctive and epistemic-evidential modal markers). The book explores the hypothesis both on a cross
