Purine and Pyrimidine Metabolism in Man IX
th th This volume comprizes articles presented at the joint IX International and 6 Euro pean Symposium on Purine and Pyrimidine Metabolism in Man held in Gmunden, Austria, June 1 through 7, 1997. Since the first of this series of meetings was held in Israel in 1973, conventions were organized every three years in different parts of the world including the USA, Japan, and Europe. The different aspects of purine and pyrimidine metabolism bring together re searchers working in molecular genetics, biochemical pharmacology, biochemistry, devel opmental biology, immunology, epidemiology and the clinics. Oriented research in the field has been seminal for the development of potent anticancer and an...
It's all about the spirit
Gerhard Drexel, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Spar Austria, tells the story of how the company became the number 1 Austrian food retailer after years of catching up to the competition. In doing so, he designs a modern counter-model to the spirit-free, technocratic-sterile leadership style. He shows how, with the right spirit, employees can be motivated on the path to market leadership. In Drexel's model, companies are there for the people again instead of the other way around, and that's exactly what makes them successful.
Prospects and Future Tasks of Universities
Universities are undergoing an extraordinary transformation. Digital technologies have altered research and teaching, while modern communication media and social media promote an interactive exchange of information with society that has accelerated international knowledge transfer. At the same time, new educational careers are available in growing higher education fields. How can universities meet these and other challenges? Reputable experts come together in this book to design scenarios for universities in the 21st century.

Dietrich Mateschitz: Wings for People and Ideas
Creative Drive and Entrepreneurial Spirit Wings for People and Ideas shows us how Viktor Frankl influenced Dietrich Mateschitz, the founder of Red Bull. It combines the history and philosophy of entrepreneurship into a unique and inspiring unity. From the outside, logotherapy and Red Bull seem to have little in common. Yet both worlds are based on the same principles: freedom, self-responsibility, and an unwavering creative drive. Volker Viechtbauer, long-time confidant of Dietrich Mateschitz, shows us how Frankl's humanism aligns with the Red Bull founder's philosophy of life. With this, he not only provides insight into the culture of Red Bull, but also highlights how Frankl laid the foundation for purpose- and talent-oriented entrepreneurship and a modern working world defined by self-responsibility.
Unruly Ideas
Original oral and ethnographic sources inform this conceptual history of power in central Africa, imagined through the lens of Kitawala religious practices. Unruly Ideas: A History of Kitawala in Congo recounts the multifaceted history of the Congolese religious movement Kitawala from its colonial beginnings in the 1920s through its continued practice in some of the most conflict-riven parts of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo today. Drawing on a rich body of original oral, ethnographic, and archival research, Nicole Eggers uses Kitawala as a lens through which to address the complex relationship between politics, religion, healing, and violence in central African history. Kitawala, ...

Exploring Language Aptitude: Views from Psychology, the Language Sciences, and Cognitive Neuroscience
This book presents original, empirical data from quantitative and qualitative research studies in the field of language learning aptitude, ability, and individual differences. It does so from the perspectives of Second Language Acquisition, psychology, neuroscience and sociolinguistics. All studies included in the book use a similar and uniform layout and methodology. Each chapter contains a study examining factors such as memory, personality, self-concept, bilingualism and multilingualism, education, musicality or gender. The chapters investigate the influence of these concepts on language learning aptitude and ability. Several of these chapters analyse hypotheses which have never been tested before and therefore provide novel research results. The book contributes to the field both by verifying and contesting existent findings and by exploring novel approaches to devising research in the subject area.
Die Durchschnittsfalle
"Entweder man hat's oder man hat's nicht." Stimmt das? Kann man ohne bestimmte genetische Voraussetzungen nicht erfolgreich sein? Oder ist es umgekehrt? Ohne Fleiß kein Preis? In der vielbeschworenen Leistungsgesellschaft ist die Hervorbringung durchschnittlicher Allround-Könner zur obersten Priorität geworden. Aber wer bestimmt überhaupt, was "normal" ist? Wir kennen die Herausforderungen nicht, die uns die Zukunft stellen wird. Bewältigen können wir sie aber nur, wenn wir jene einzigartigen Talente fördern, die in uns allen schlummern. Es muss die Norm werden, von der Norm abzuweichen. Oder anders ausgedrückt: Wir brauchen Peaks und Freaks!
