In today's fast-paced world, students often find themselves juggling multiple responsibilities, from attending classes and completing assignments to maintaining a social life. With so much on their plates, it's easy for physical health to take a backseat. However, what many students may not realize is that regular physical activity can significantly boost their immune function.Physical activity has long been known for its positive effects on overall health and wellbeing. Engaging in regular exercise not only helps to maintain a healthy weight and improve cardiovascular fitness but also plays a crucial role in strengthening the immune system. As a student, prioritizing physical activity can be a game-changer when it comes to staying healthy and resilient.When we exercise, our bodies undergo several changes that directly influence our immune function. One of the key benefits of physical activity is its ability to increase blood circulation, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to all parts of the body, including the immune system. This improved circulation allows immune cells to move more freely, enhancing their ability to detect and eliminate harmful pathogens.Regular physical activity also stimulates the production and release of endorphins, which are natural chemicals in the body that promote a positive mood and reduce stress. Studies have consistently shown that stress can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to illnesses. By engaging in activities such as running, swimming, or dancing, students can effectively manage their stress levels and, in turn, boost their immune function.Moreover, physical activity has been found to reduce inflammation in the body, which is a common underlying factor in many chronic diseases. By lowering inflammation, exercise helps the immune system function optimally, preventing the development of various illnesses.To reap the immune-boosting benefits of physical activity, students don't necessarily need to spend hours at the gym. Incorporating small changes into their daily routine, such as walking or biking to class instead of driving, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or joining a recreational sports team, can make a significant difference. The key is to find activities that are enjoyable and sustainable, making it easier to prioritize physical activity amidst a busy schedule.

Wie ist es möglich, dass im Erklingen einer komplexen Folge von Lauten ein Sinn offenbar wird, der mit der lautenden Gestalt selbst scheinbar wenig bis gar nichts zu tun hat? Das Buch nähert sich der Frage nach der Seinsweise des gesprochenen Wortes auf dem Wege zeitgenössischer Phänomenologie und Hermeneutik, und erörtert sie vor dem Hintergrund etablierter Modelle der philosophischen Sprachauslegung. Es nimmt dabei die vielfältigen Ebenen des Bedeutens, die an die Verfasstheit des Wortes als leibhaft-lautender Akt gebunden sind, in den Blick. In Anknüpfung an die von Hans-Georg Gadamer angeregte Deutung vom Kerngedanken der Inkarnation her, entwickelt der Autor eine Philosophie der Sprache, die ihren Ausgang nimmt im Verständnis des Logos, wie es im Prolog des Johannes begründet und unter anderem von Augustinus, Thomas von Aquin und Nicolaus Cusanus entfaltet wird. Im Lichte dieser Zugänge erscheint das Wort - fernab jeder reduktionistischen Auslegung als bloßes Laut-Zeichen - in einem umfassenden Sinn als leibhaftes Symbol des Menschen in seiner Befindlichkeit und seinem Verhalten in der Welt.Der AutorDaniel Schmidt, Jahrgang 1969, ist promovierter Philosoph und studierte zudem Musik und Katholische Theologie in Wien. Seine Forschung widmet sich insbesondere den ontologischen Grundlagen von Sprache und Musik. Er lehrt an der Philosophisch-Theologischen Hochschule Benedikt XVI. Heiligenkreuz und wirkt darüber hinaus als Dirigent und Organist.

The study extends the literature on venture capital by examining whether entrepreneur's choice for an external investor and certain firm characteristics have an impact on venture success or not. The focus is set on the differences in value creation by venture capitalists and business angels for ventures of the high- and low-technology sector. The assessment of a data set including 252 Series A financing rounds by venture capitalist firms, business angels and collaborative investments of both investors conducted between 2005 and 2012 unveils value enhancing aspects for all three financing solutions. Overall, start-ups initially financed by venture capitalist firms perform best with regard to general venture success, whereas start-ups collaboratively supported by venture capitalists and business angels have the highest chances to exit successfully through a trade sale. It becomes further apparent that ventures located in one of the high-technology industries 'internet', 'pharmaceuticals' and 'high-tech', ventures that are longer established in the market and ventures whose Series A financing round was executed more recently indicate an enhanced likelihood of success.
