  Ontology Or the Theory of Being

  Peter Coffey Ph. D.

  In the domain of Ontology, there are many scholastic theories and discussions which are commonly regarded by non-scholastic writers as possessing nowadays, for the student of philosophy, an interest that is merely historical. This mistaken notion is probably due to the fact that few if any serious attempts have yet been made to transpose these questions from their medieval setting into the language and context of contemporary philosophy. Perhaps not a single one of these problems is really and in substance alien to present-day speculations.  
  The author has endeavoured, by his treatment of such characteristically “medieval” discussions as those on potentia and actus, essence and existence, individuation, the theory of distinctions, substance and accident, nature and person, logical and real relations, efficient and final causes, to show that the issues involved are in every instance as fully and keenly debated, in an altered setting and a new terminology, by recent and living philosophers of every school of thought as they were by St. Thomas and his contemporaries in the golden age of medieval scholasticism.  
  And, as the purposes of a text book demanded, attention has been devoted to stating the problems clearly, to showing the significance and bearings of discussions and solutions, rather than to detailed analyses of arguments. At the same time, it is hoped that the treatment is sufficiently full to be helpful even to advanced students and to all who are interested in the Metaphysics of the Schools.

  »We are at a turning point in human history. To stop climate breakdown and extinction,environmental movements need to be actively anti-racist and join struggles for social justice.«Carola RacketeIn 2019, Carola Rackete became publicly known for docking the sea rescue vessel »Sea-Watch 3« in Italy and thereby challenging a nationaldecree that contradicted internationalobligations to engage in sea rescue. Due to this act of civil disobedience and her public confrontation of the Italian far right and the structural racism of the EU's Fortress Europe policy, Carola became a powerful symbol for people seeking to take practical action for a world based on justice and equality. Carola has worked in the polar regions since 2011 and holds a degree in natural resources management. Consequently, her book shows how the ecological crises we are facing today are rooted in social and political power structures. The book details moments of the rescue mission but also connects the dots to forced migration and the urgency of our environmental predicament. Overall, it is a call to engage and act to become part of initiatives and movements struggling for social and environmental justice.This version of the book includes a new afterword focused on centring justice and human rights in nature and biodiversity conservation-a topic often overlooked by climate activists in the Global North.The authors will donate the revenue from this book to the association borderline-europe-Menschenrechte ohne Grenzen e.V. in order to launch a new criminalization fund. The money from this fund will be used to support refugees who are criminalized in the EU for fleeingtoEurope.Acknowledgements: This audio book has been made possible by the voluntary contributions of many people, most notably Marysa Abbas who is the voiceover artist of this audioproject, Diane Hielscher who provided her studio "LifeX Lab-wir machen Medien für eine neue Welt" for the recordings and production, Céline Keller who contributed the cover art, Alfio Furnari from Borderline-Europe who managed administration and contracts, the management of liberaudio as well as Anne Weiss who got the projectrolling and connected everyone. My gratitude and thanks to all of you. Carola Rackete

  Hematology - Blood Disorders and...

  Hematology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and blood disorders. It is a vital field of medicine as blood is essential for the proper functioning of the body. Hematology encompasses a range of topics, including the composition of blood, the process of blood formation, the various types of blood cells, and the disorders that affect the blood. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating a variety of conditions such as anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, bleeding disorders, and blood clotting issues. 
  The primary function of blood is to transport essential nutrients, gases, and waste products throughout the body. Blood also plays a key role in regulating temperature, maintaining pH balance, and defending the body against infections. Blood is composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, each having a unique function that is integral to overall health. Plasma is the liquid component, primarily made of water, proteins, and dissolved substances, and serves as the medium for carrying cells and other components. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and return carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation. White blood cells are crucial for immune defense, protecting the body against pathogens, while platelets are involved in clotting to prevent excessive bleeding. 
  The study of hematology is essential because various blood disorders can lead to severe health complications. Disorders such as anemia can result from deficiencies in red blood cells or hemoglobin, leading to fatigue, weakness, and other symptoms. Leukemia, a type of cancer affecting the white blood cells, and lymphoma, which affects the lymphatic system, are also common blood-related cancers that require specialized treatment.

  Throughout Secret Societies, Gardiner; uncovers an ancient secret society thought to have died out many years ago and gets to the core of the secret societies’ belief systems. He explores the secret origins of Freemasonry and the links to secret Serpent Cults, Investigates the secret hidden meaning of King Arthur and Robin Hood and examines the claimants to the name of Illuminati, and analyzes the history of the group in Europe and America. Gardiner reveals the secret links within the Vatican and the Nazi Party and looks in-depth at the white-powdered gold theory supposedly kept secret by orders throughout time and radically re-appraises it. He also shows the link between the so-called enlightenment experience and the control of our minds. 
   
  Nobody in the genre involves themselves in the tale in the same way that Gardiner does, and here he shows that the search for ultimate truth can often be a terrifying one.
