Kenosis, Christ, and the Trinity in Thomas Aquinas

Emery, Gilles

In: Nova et Vetera (English Edition), 2019, vol. 17, no. 3, p. 839-869

Thomas Aquinas pays great attention to Christ’s kenosis in Phil. 2:7 (“he emptied himself”), which he associates with his interpretation of John 1:14, Col 2:9 and 2 Cor 8:9. This study is comprised of four parts. The first part looks into the exegesis of Philippians 2:6–8 in Aquinas’s Commentary on St. Paul. The second provides some further details, drawn from other works of Aquinas,...

Spatial scaling, proportional thinking, and numerical understanding in 5- to 7-year-old children

Möhring, Wenke ; Frick, Andrea ; Newcombe, Nora S.

In: Cognitive Development, 2018, vol. 45, p. 57-67

The present study investigated the role of spatial scaling and proportional-reasoning skills in children’s number-line estimations. Proportional strategies in number-line estimations might suggest that correlations between number-line knowledge and scaling are driven by proportional thinking. However, analyses of data on spatial scaling, proportional reasoning, counting skills, and...

In vitro approaches to assess the hazard of nanomaterials

Drasler, Barbara ; Sayre, Phil ; Steinhäuser, Klaus Günter ; Petri-Fink, Alke ; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara

In: NanoImpact, 2017, vol. 8, no. Supplement C, p. 99–116

The rapid development of engineered nanomaterials demands for a fast and reliable assessment of their health hazard potential. A plethora of experimental approaches have been developed and are widely employed in conventional toxicological approaches. However, the specific properties of nanomaterials such as smaller size but larger surface area, and high catalytic reactivity and distinctive...

Health and Old Age in Latin America and Africa : Introdution to the Issue

Künzler, Daniel

In: sozialpolitik.ch, 2016, vol. 1, no. 1, p. Article: 1.1

The remarkable dynamism of government welfare provision in Africa and in Latin America and the Caribbean is embedded in a broader context. As a legacy of the colonial past, social protection for old age and health care was generally the privilege of the rather small group of formal sector workers. French colonialism emphasized an active role of the state in social protection and had a quite...
