This book consists of a series of papers that look at three different aspects of the landscape as seen in dictionaries from across Europe. Multilingual diachronic case studies into lexicographical descriptions of flora, landscape features and colours concentrate on three supposedly simple words: daisies (Bellis perenis L.), hills and the colour red. The work is part of the ongoing LandLex initiative, originally developed as part of the COST ENeL - European Network for e-Lexicography - action. The group brings together researchers in lexicography and lexicology from across Europe and is dedicated to studying multilingual and diachronic issues in language. It aims to valorise the wealth of European language diversity as found in dictionaries by developing and testing new digital annotation tools and a historical morphological dictionary prototype.

Natural light surrounds us. Yet not getting enough of the right forms of natural light causes disease. Using decades of clinical research, this text reveals the history of natural light therapy and the newest evidence showing that light therapy heals naturally. This text discusses the basics of light radiation, light waves, sun- and moonlight, and how to produce the best form of vitamin D. The science of using light boxes, infrared therapy, saunas, UV light lamps and sunlight therapy for insomnia, chronic fatigue, depression, cardiovascular issues, dementia and many other conditions is examined, with practical strategies to enhance our moods and help us thrive physically and mentally.

UM ROMANCE PRA QUEM JÁ SE SENTIU DIFERENTE E NUNCA SE RECONHECEU NAS HISTÓRIAS CONTADAS ATÉ AGORA Davi é um jovem brasileiro que faz exatamente tudo o que se espera dele.

Physiological responses after maximal and submaximal exercise are routinely monitored in a plethora of diseases (e.g. cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, asthma, neuromuscular disorders), and normal populations (e.g. athletes, youth, elderly), while slower or irregular post-exercise recovery usually indicates poor health and/or low fitness level. Abnormal post-exercise recovery (as assessed via blunted post-exercise heart rate dynamics) helps to predict the presence and severity of coronary artery disease, while differences in recovery outcomes in athletes might discriminate between fit and unfit individuals. Disturbances in post-exercise recovery might be due to acute or persistent c...
