Theodor Mommsen, after collecting scarce evidence, pleaded for Gaius being a scholar in the remote provinces far from Rome – probably in Asia minor – being in close contact with a small but powerful group of Roman jurists.

Sexing Berlin?

Science.gov (United States)

Dahlke, Birgit

2011-01-01

Berlin has always been a literary space of extremely diverse political and cultural projections. This essay investigates why after the unification of East and West Berlin the city has been imagined as a play zone of sexual self-fulfilment by authors such as Inka Parei, Tanja Dückers, Kathrin Röggla, Judith Hermann and Julia Franck. Have such erotic adventures replaced political vision in our post-utopian decade? What is the purpose of the laboured allegorisation of the fall of the wall in Durs Grünbein's essays or in the novels of Katja Lange-Müller and Thomas Hettche? The sexification of historical and political processes recalls similar stereotypes in the East German literature of the 1980s: the metropolis as a whore in works by Heiner Müller or Wolf Biermann, but also by younger authors of the independent literary scene in Berlin like Uwe Kolbe or Frank-Wolf Matthies.

[Allergy to cow's milk].

After recalling the medical reluctance as well as the risks that there are in complete elimination of milk in infants, the author presents several clinical pictures and then a classification of the immunological types: Allergic shock of neonates, digestive and extra-digestive (skin and respiratory airways) symptoms finally the rare chronic gastro-enteritis to cow milk. Non-reaginic food allergies: Acute gastro-enteropathy to cow milk, with villous atrophy and Heiner's syndrome, delayed hypersensitivities are studied, of difficult diagnosis that may cover almost all pathologies. They may be found in the digestive system, respiratory, the kidneys and even in the organs of behaviour. Migraine of food origin must be remembered. Development in regressive rules is a function of the type of allergy and the suddenness of the symptoms. Diagnosis is above all by questioning and confirmation or not by skin and in vitro tests. Certainty can only be shown by tests of elimination and re-introduction. The diet, at the same time of both diagnostic and therapeutic value, is based on the replacement of cow milk by foods that contain the same amount of proteins. It is essential, especially in the very small, to have perfect match of food so as to avoid any risk of a dramatic hypoprotinemia, which may happen if the child does not like the suggested diet, or if the parents cannot buy the substitution products. In such conditions great care must be taken to avoid provoking a crisis. Care must be taken to decide: If the elimination of cow milk is always justified each time. If it is, always check that the substituted protein is properly made, the family may change the diet mistakenly.

La Actio Popularis en el Derecho Internacional Contemporáneo

Full Text Available Este trabajo objetivó enfrentar el problema relacionado a la vigencia, validez y eficacia del instituto de la actio popularis en el derecho internacional contemporáneo, teniendo como punto de intersección, por un lado, las decisiones dictadas por la Corte Internacional de Justicia en los casos Etiopía y Liberia v. África del Sur en los años 1962 y 1966, así como las críticas en relación a la vuelta radical que la Corte promovió entre los juicios de las Cuestiones Preliminares y la segunda fase, teniendo como sustrato teórico la crítica hecha por Egon Schwelb. Para ello, después de establecer las bases de la discusión en el tema relativo a la transición del sistema westfaliano al de la Carta, se discutía sobre el origen del instituto en el derecho romano, teniendo como principal apoyo la obra de Theodor Mommsen. El acto seguido se pasó a la presentación y discusión de las decisiones de la Corte Internacional de Justicia en el caso indicado, para señalar, en líneas posteriores, las críticas que dicha decisión sufrió. En el último tópico se discutió la correlación entre el instituto de la actio popularis con la máxima aut dedere aut judicare, en especial en el régimen indirecto de implementación del Derecho Penal Internacional. Se concluye el trabajo con consideraciones a confirmar la vigencia, validez y condiciones de eficacia y legitimidad de la justicia cosmopolita, cuya fundamentación se encuentra en la actio popularis. El método de abordaje adoptado en el presente trabajo fue el crítico, y el de procedimiento la consulta bibliográfica.

Full Text Available Today, project-oriented work is an integral part of academic life. However, not all academics are ready to cope with this organizational aspect of scientific work or with the management of research teams. "Guidelines for Interdisciplinary Research Teams" provides a detailed outline of the various project stages, the potential conflicts and burgeoning power issues, as well as the basics and techniques of moderation. This volume offers excellent insight into the scientific enterprise and provides useful strategic options for managing teamwork. Thus, the volume is suitable for two purposes, namely as a set of guidelines for those inexperienced in scientific cooperation, and as a reference book for those who want to master their previous project experiences and utilize them in future enterprises. However, the intercultural aspect of scientific project organization is not discussed in the volume. URN: urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs0801179

of the Roman republic as follows in the first century before Christ: The end of the monarchy is marked by an action - the public suicide of Lucretia. In this act of drastic transition from life to death, the irreversibility of time is clearly marked. The act immediately triggered excited and tumultuous reactions. There was no doubt that the message, in the form of suicide, reached the audience, and that communication had succeeded. Dionysius has his protagonist hold long speeches to a large audience about the many now conceivable political orders: not just any order but many different models had now become possible. Structures of political systems are known and permit a number of possible continuities, if not all. Indeed, they permit so many that Dionysius recognizes this as a problem that is "highly difficult and barely possible to resolve". Nevertheless, the pressure of selection is there. Dionysius avoids it by recommending that no selection be made, but that the ruler should "merely" be doubled: instead of one king there should be two kings, who he proposes should be called consuls. Doubling has, of course, been the basic underlying principle of all evolution since Adam and Eve -- since the division of the very first cell. Two consuls were duly appointed. The political system was soon re-stabilised: when two (! sons (! of one of the two founding consuls sought to re-establish the monarchy, they were executed by their own father. Could there have been any other way -- or any clearer way -- of demonstrating that the republic was there, that it was stable and that no new duality could bring back unity? Theodor Mommsen once wrote that the founding of the republic had resulted from the "organism" of the old political order by "inner necessity". Re-reading Dionysius, we note that, on the contrary, a variation - in the form of a scandal - was the necessary trigger to destroy the state of stasis in the first place. Variation then led to so many possibilities that there
