The Challenges of Vatican II for an Authentic Indian Catholic Church
The Vatican II was an event of a new facelift for the entire edifice of the Catholic ecclesiology. It called for the renewal in the universal Catholic Church. This book deals with the question: How can the Catholic Church in India accept the council's challenge for renewal and become truly Indian in its being and essence? Undertaking a systematic examination of the post-conciliar ecclesiological development in the Indian Catholic Church, in its existential multi-religious and multi-cultural context, the author attempts to develop an ecclesiological reflection for the Indian context.

Ökumene in säkularer Gesellschaft
Die Ökumene hat sich in den letzten Jahren stark gewandelt. Zum einen wird vermehrt auf den interreligiösen Dialog gesetzt, zum anderen bildet die säkulare Gesellschaft mit ihrer sich grundlegend wandelnden Einbettung von Religiosität und Kirche ein verändertes Umfeld der ökumenischen Theologie. Das erfordert eine aktuelle Standortbestimmung des ökumenischen Dialogs, der mit der konkreten ökumenischen Praxis in den Kirchen vor Ort zu verbinden ist. Die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger reflektieren dies theologisch. Dabei wird auch die Notwendigkeit des lokal verorteten Engagements des Ökumenischen Instituts Luzern deutlich, dessen Arbeit auf die Grundfragen ökumenischen Denkens und Handelns zurückführt. Mit einem Vorwort von Bischof Gerhard Feige und Beiträgen von Edmund Arens, Angela Berlis, Maria Brun, Volker Kauder, Kardinal Kurt Koch, Daniel Kosch, Antonius Liedhegener, Kardinal Karl Lehmann, Suhas Pereira, Marco Politi, Christian M. Rutishauser, Lorenzo Scornaienchi, Christoph Sigrist und Peter Strasser.

Effects of Alcohol Use on Immunity and Immune Responses
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a significant global health burden. Globally alcohol misuse is the fifth leading risk factor for premature death and disability, and accounts for ~3.3 million deaths annually. Chronic alcohol use deleteriously affects both normal behavior (e.g., depression, anxiety, and alcohol craving) and physiology (e.g., oxidative stress, intestinal hyperpermeability, immune dysfunction, and organ damage). Both heavy and binge drinking patterns alter immune frequencies, compromise immune cell function, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Alcohol misuse can damage barrier functions in vital organs such as the lungs, gut, increase susceptibility to both bacterial a...
Environmental Protection Strategies for Sustainable Development
The environment of our planet is degrading at an alarming rate because of non-sustainable urbanization, industrialization and agriculture. Unsustainable trends in relation to climate change and energy use, threats to public health, poverty and social exclusion, demographic pressure and ageing, management of natural resources, biodiversity loss, land use and transport still persist and new challenges are arising. Since these negative trends bring about a sense of urgency, short term action is required, whilst maintaining a longer term perspective. The main challenge is to gradually change our current unsustainable consumption and production patterns and the nonintegrated approach to policy-ma...
Informal Labor, Formal Politics, and Dignified Discontent in India
Since the 1980s, the world's governments have decreased state welfare and thus increased the number of unprotected 'informal' or 'precarious' workers. As a result, more and more workers do not receive secure wages or benefits from either employers or the state. This book offers a fresh and provocative look into the alternative social movements informal workers in India are launching. It also offers a unique analysis of the conditions under which these movements succeed or fail. Drawing from 300 interviews with informal workers, government officials and union leaders, Rina Agarwala argues that Indian informal workers are using their power as voters to demand welfare benefits from the state, rather than demanding traditional work benefits from employers. In addition, they are organizing at the neighborhood level, rather than the shop floor, and appealing to 'citizenship', rather than labor rights.
Special Treatment
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) is iconic in the landscape of Indian healthcare. Established in the early years of independence, this enormous public teaching hospital rapidly gained fame for the high-quality treatment it offered at a nominal cost; at present, an average of ten thousand patients pass through the outpatient department each day. With its notorious medical program acceptance rate of less than 0.01%, AIIMS also sits at the apex of Indian medical education. To be trained as a doctor here is to be considered the best. In what way does this enduring reputation of excellence shape the institution's ethos? How does elite medical education sustain India's social hi...
