2Nd Announcement 2nd Announcement Call for Abstracts 8th EFAS Congress Joint meeting with the 10th Congress of the German Society of Audiology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Audiologie e.V., DGA) in collaboration with Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutschsprachiger Audiologen und Neurootologen (ADANO) 6–9 June 2007 Heidelberg/Germany European Federation of Audiological Societies (EFAS) www.efas2007.org 1 8th EFAS/10th DGA Congress On behalf of the German Society of Audiology, which represents the audiologists of the three Ger- man-speaking countries Austria, Switzerland and Germany, it is a great pleasure to invite you to the eighth conference of the European Federation of Audiological Societies. The meeting in June 2007 will take place in the romantic city of Heidelberg right in the center of the old town. The special atmosphere of the narrow streets with historic buildings which can all be reached in walking distance from the congress venue (Heidelberg Convention Center „Stadthalle“) will provide the specific ambience for a productive scientific and social meeting. The topics of this conference will focus on hearing in Europe. Special topics are • the socioeconomic impact of hearing disorders, • the epidemiology, • etiology, diagnosis and treatment of childhood hearing loss, • occupational noise-induced hearing loss and • hearing loss in the elder population. Special interest will also be given to all kinds of hearing devices and psychoacoustics. We try to join experts of different specialties with an international reputation who will present state- of-the-art lectures. Representatives from the European commission and competent authorities will be invited to provide a broader perspective on research and services in the field of hearing loss and related communication disorders. The conference shall help to leverage this important health care topic to an appropriate level to increase funding and awareness in politics. We look forward to welcoming you in Heidelberg.

  • Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg Gmbh Springer Series in Synergetics
    Self-Organization and the City Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg GmbH Springer Series in Synergetics An ever increasing number of scientific disciplines deal with complex systems. These are systems that are composed of many parts which interact with one another in a more or less complicated manner. One of the most striking features of many such systems is their ability to spontaneously form spatial or temporal structures. A great variety of these structures are found, in both the inanimate and the living world. In the inanimate world of physics and chemistry, examples include the growth of crystals, coherent oscillations oflaser light, and the spiral structures formed in fluids and chemical reactions. In biology we encounter the growth of plants and animals (morphogenesis) and the evolution of species. In medicine we observe, for instance, the electromagnetic activity of the brain with its pronounced spatio-temporal structures. Psychology deals with characteristic features ofhuman behavior ranging from simple pattern recognition tasks to complex patterns of social behavior. Examples from sociology include the formation of public opinion and cooperation or competition between social groups. In recent decades, it has become increasingly evident that all these seemingly quite different kinds of structure formation have a number of important features in common. The task of studying analo­ gies as weil as differences between structure formation in these different fields has proved to be an ambitious but highly rewarding endeavor. The Springer Series in Synergetics provides a forum for interdisciplinary research and discussions on this fascinating new scientific challenge. It deals with both experimental and theoretical aspects. The scientific community and the interested layman are becoming ever more conscious of concepts such as self-organization, instabilities, deterministic chaos, nonlinearity, dynamical systems, stochastic processes, and complexity.

Bonahon's intersection between two such currents can be computed. We will also explain the relation with a pressure metric. This is joint work with D. Canary, M. Bridgeman and F.

  • Downloaded from Brill.Com10/01/2021 04:21:42AM Via Free Access 118 Obituary
    The International Journal The International Journal of the of the Platonic Tradition 14 (2020) 117-119 Platonic Tradition brill.com/jpt Jens Halfwassen, 1958-2020 Ordinarius für Philosophie, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg On the 14 February 2020, Germany lost one of its great metaphysical think- ers, as well as one of its finest scholars of classical antiquity, Jens Halfwassen. Born just outside Cologne (Bergisch Gladbach) in North Rhine-Westphalia on 16 November 1958, the future Cusanus expert attended the Nicolaus-Cusanus- Gymnasium in a fitting indication of things to come. From there he went on to study at the University of Cologne with Karl Bormann and Klaus Düsing, completing the first Staatsexamen in 1985 (Philosophy, History, Classics and Pedagogy). The volumes resulting from his doctorate (Der Aufstieg zum Einen. Untersuchungen zu Platon und Plotin. The Ascent to the One. Investigations on Plato and Plotinus) and habilitation (Hegel und der spätantike Neuplatonismus. Untersuchungen zur Metaphysik des Einen und des Nous in Hegels spekula- tiver und geschichtlicher Deutung. Hegel and late-antique Neoplatonism. Investigations on the Metaphysics of the One and of the Intellect in Hegel’s Speculative and Historical Interpretation) both ran into multiple editions. After a brief spell as professor at Munich (1997-98) and visiting professor at Tübingen (1998-99), he took up a professorship at Heidelberg in 1999. Several important works followed, including a volume of collected articles (Auf den Spuren des Einen. Studien zur Metaphysik und ihrer Geschichte. On the Traces of the One. Studies on Metaphysics and its History, 2015).
