ἔχειν πίστιν in Hellenistic Greek and its Contribution to the πίστις Χριστοῦ Debate

This article argues that the construction ἔχειν πίστιν in Hellenistic Greek is a nominalized ideational metaphor that is semantically related to the finite verb πιστεύειν.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue protein 1 (MALT1) plays a key role in adaptive immune responses by modulating specific intracellular signalling pathways that control the development and proliferation of both T and B cells. Dysfunction of these pathways is coupled to the progress of highly aggressive lymphoma as well as to potential development of an array of different immune disorders.

Sustainability and resilience for riverine landscapes

Sustainability and resilience are two related but distinct theories of coupled environmental and social systems. Both have been heavily debated and contested over recent decades, and both are highly relevant for understanding, managing, and living with and within riverine landscapes. In this chapter, I summarise key concepts of sustainability and social–ecological resilience theories and discuss t
