Table Talk: Essays on Men and Manners
William Hazlitt
PD-US
Table-Talk is a collection of essays by the English cultural critic and social commentator William Hazlitt. It was originally published as two volumes, the first of which appeared in April 1821. The essays deal with topics such as art, literature and philosophy. Duncan Wu has described the essays as the "pinnacle of [Hazlitt's] achievement", and argues that Table-Talk and The Plain Speaker (1826) represent Hazlitt's masterpiece. From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA).
Fatigue and Fracture Behaviour of Additively Manufactured Mechanical Components
CC BY
The advent of additive manufacturing (AM) processes applied to the fabrication of structural components creates the need for design methodologies supporting structural optimization approaches that take into account the specific characteristics of the process. While AM processes enable unprecedented geometrical design freedom, which can result in significant reductions of component weight, on the other hand they have implications in the fatigue and fracture strength due to residual stresses and microstructural features. This is linked to stress concentration effects and anisotropy that still warrant further research. This Special Issue of Applied Sciences brings together papers investigating the features of AM processes relevant to the mechanical behavior of AM structural components, particularly, but not exclusively, from the viewpoints of fatigue and fracture behavior. Although the focus of the issue is on AM problems related to fatigue and fracture, articles dealing with other manufacturing processes with related problems are also be included.

Grenzüberschreitende Patientenmigration im zahnmedizinischen Bereich
CC BY
Grenzüberschreitende Patientenbewegungen sind spätestens mit Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends in den Mittelpunkt gesundheitsökonomischer Betrachtungen gelangt. Besonders an der Grenze zwischen Österreich und Ungarn ist seit Jahren ein reger Patientenstrom im zahnmedizinischen Bereich zu beobachten. Die Studie generiert zunächst ein theoretisches Fundament für das mikroökonomische Entscheidungsverhalten potentiell migrierender Patienten. Auf Basis empirischer Daten aus Österreich und Ungarn und einer damit verbundenen Discrete-Choice Analyse erlaubt die Arbeit unmittelbare Rückschlüsse auf das Ausmaß dentaler Patientenströme an der österreichisch-ungarischen Grenze und mögliche Migrationsfaktoren im dentalen Sektor.
Beyond the body? The Future of Embodied Cognition
CC BY
Embodied cognition represents one of most important research programs in contemporary cognitive science. Although there is a diversity of opinion concerning the nature of embodiment, the core idea is that cognitive processes are influenced by body morphology, emotions, and sensorimotor systems. This idea is supported by an ever increasing collection of empirical studies that fall into two broad classes: one consisting of experiments that implicate action, emotion, and perception systems in seemingly abstract cognitive tasks and the other consisting of experiments that demonstrate the contribution of bodily interaction with the external environment to the performance of such tasks. Now that the research program of embodied cognition is well established, the time seems right for assessing its further promise and potential limitations. This research topic aims to create an interdisciplinary forum for discussing where we go from here. Given that we have good reason to think that the body influences cognition in surprisingly robust ways, the central question is no longer whether or not any cognitive processes are embodied. Instead, other questions have come to the fore: To what extent are cognitive processes in general embodied? Are there disembodied processes? Among those that are embodied, how are they embodied? Is there more than one kind of embodiment? Is embodiment a matter of degree? There are a number of specific issues that could be addressed by submissions to this research topic. Some supporters of embodied cognition eschew representations. Should anti-representationalism be a core part of an embodied approach? What role should dynamical models play? Research in embodied cognition has tended to focus on the importance of sensorimotor areas for cognition. What are the functions of multimodal or amodal brain areas? Abstract concepts have proved to be a challenge for embodied cognition. How should they be handled? Should researchers allow for some form of weak embodiment? Currently, there is a split between those who offer a simulation-based approach to embodiment and those who offer an enactive approach. Who is right? Should there be a rapprochement between these two groups? Some experimental and robotics researchers have recently shown a great deal of interest in the idea that external resources such as language can serve as form of cognitive scaffolding. What are the implications of this idea for embodied cognition? This research topic aims to bring together empirical and theoretical work from a diversity of perspectives. Submissions are sought from any of the major disciplines associated with cognitive science, including but not necessarily limited to anthropology, cognitive psychology, computational modeling, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, robotics, and social psychology. Researchers are encouraged to submit papers discussing experiments, methods, models, or theories that speak to the issue of the future of embodied cognition.
Dignitas - voluntas - vita

Contrary to the common constriction of the euthanasia-discussion on “self-determination at the end of life" Eva Schumann claims rethinking in dealing with seriously ill and dying people. To meet their needs in her view a comprehensive access to outpatient and inpatient palliative care facilities is recquired and also improvements of care in nursing homes as well as offers to improve the integration of members into care. These claims conclude the discussion between assistance in dying (indirect euthanasia), and assistance to die (active and passive euthanasia). Taking account historical, interdisciplinary and comparative law issues it is demonstrated that the formal legal distinction between the various case groups of euthanasia not sufficiently takes into account the social dimension of dying.Entgegen der heute üblichen Verengung der Sterbehilfediskussion auf die Selbstbestimmung am Lebensende fordert Eva Schumann ein Umdenken im Umgang mit schwerkranken und sterbenden Menschen. Um deren Bedürfnissen gerecht zu werden, ist nach ihrer Auffassung ein flächendeckender Zugang zu ambulanten und stationären Palliativeinrichtungen, eine Verbesserung der Betreuung in Alten- und Pflegeheimen sowie Angebote zur stärkeren Einbindung von Angehörigen in die Pflege erforderlich. Diese Forderungen stehen am Ende einer kritischen Würdigung der unter dem Begriff der Sterbehilfe diskutierten Fallgruppen der Hilfe im Sterben (indirekte Sterbehilfe) einerseits und der Hilfe zum Sterben (aktive und passive Sterbehilfe) andererseits. Unter Einbeziehung historischer, interdisziplinärer und rechtsvergleichender Aspekte wird eindringlich dargelegt, dass die formaljuristische Differenzierung zwischen den einzelnen Fallgruppen der Sterbehilfe nicht hinreichend die soziale Dimension des Sterbens berücksichtigt.

Henry VIII and His Court: A Historical Novel
L. (Luise) Mühlbach
PD-US
Henry VIII was the infamous English king who abolished ties with the Catholic church and turned Britain into a protestant nation, positioning himself at the head of the new church. He is also famous for his many wives. In 1864 Louise Muhlbach, a German historical novelist, wrote a novel about Henry and his court, exploring his reign as she imagined it.
