Marcus Diadochus
Marcus Diadochus (Greek: Mάρκος ὁ διάδοχος) was a Christian writer of the fourth century. His name is at the head of a "Sermon against the Arians" (Greek τοῦ μακαρἰoυ Mάρκου τοῦ Διάδοχου κατὰ Ἀρειανῶν λόγος, Latin Beati Marci Diadochi Sermo contra Arianos). It was discovered by Johann Rudolf Wettstein in a manuscript codex of St. Athanasius at Basle and published by him at the end of his edition of Origen. Another version of the same work was lent by Galliciolli to Andrea Gallandi and published in the ''Veterum Patrum Bibliotheca'', V (Venice, 1765–1781). This is the text in ''Patrologia Graeca''. The sermon quotes and expounds the usual biblical texts, and answers difficulties. Diadochus, Bishop of Photike in Epirus in the fifth century, is a different person, author of a "Sermon on the Ascension" and of a hundred "Chapters on Spiritual Perfection"; whom Victor Vitensis praises in the prologue of his history of th ...

Diadochos Of Photiki
Saint Diadochos of Photiki ( gr, Διάδοχος Φωτικής) was a fifth-century ascetic whose works are included in the ''Philokalia''. Scholars have acknowledged his great influence on later Byzantine saints such as Maximos the Confessor, John Climacus, Symeon the New Theologian, and in general the Hesychast movement of the 14th century. He has also had great influence in the West via the work, "On the Contemplative Life" (''De vita contemplativa'') of Julianus Pomerius (†498). His feast day is commemorated on March 29. Life Diadochos was born c. 400 and died sometime before 486. He became bishop of Photiki, a small town in the province of Old Epira, in the northwestern part of present-day Greece. In 451, he took part in the Council of Chalcedon as Bishop of Photiki. He was most likely part of a group of Epiran notables who were captured during a Vandal raid between 467 and 474. The group was later released in North Africa, somewhere around Carthage, from whence all ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Proclus
Proclus Lycius (; 8 February 412 – 17 April 485), called Proclus the Successor ( grc-gre, Πρόκλος ὁ Διάδοχος, ''Próklos ho Diádokhos''), was a Greek Neoplatonist philosopher, one of the last major classical philosophers of late antiquity. He set forth one of the most elaborate and fully developed systems of Neoplatonism and, through later interpreters and translators, exerted an influence on Byzantine philosophy, Early Islamic philosophy, and Scholastic philosophy. Biography The primary source for the life of Proclus is the eulogy ''Proclus, or On Happiness'' that was written for him upon his death by his successor, Marinus, Marinus' biography set out to prove that Proclus reached the peak of virtue and attained eudaimonia. There are also a few details about the time in which he lived in the similarly structured ''Life of Isidore'' written by the philosopher Damascius in the following century. According to Marinus, Proclus was born in 412 AD in Cons ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Diadochite
Diadochite is a phospho-sulfate mineral. It is a secondary mineral formed by the weathering and hydration of other minerals. Its formula is Fe2(PO4)(SO4)OH·5H2O. Well crystallized forms are referred to as ''destinezite'', which has been given official recognition by the International Mineralogical Association with diadochite being the poorly formed to amorphous variety. It has a greenish yellow to brown colour and forms nodules or crusts. Its appearance has been compared to cauliflower. Identified originally in Belgium in 1831, it has been found in many places throughout the world. It occurs as a secondary mineral in mineral gossans, coal deposits, phosphate rich pegmatites and cave A cave or cavern is a natural void in the ground, specifically a space large enough for a human to enter.

Diadochokinesia
Diadochokinesia or diadochokinesis is the ability to make antagonistic movements in quick succession, alternately bringing a limb into opposite positions, as of flexion and Extension (kinesiology), extension or of pronation and supination. Speech-language pathology defines it as the speed necessary to stop a determined motor impulse and substitute it with its opposite. The relative timing of this kind of movements is also called alternate motion rates (AMR) or sequential motor rates (SMR). Loss of ability (dysdiadochokinesia) is characteristic of Cerebellum#Pathology, cerebellar diseases. Many clinical tests may be employed to test for such disturbances. * ''Alternating movements'': Patient is told e.g. to pronate and supinate their hands in rapid succession, holding forearms vertically. In cerebellar diseases, the movements are irregular and inaccurate; in case of the Upper motor neuron lesion, pyramidal tract lesion the motion may be slowed or incomplete. * ''Holmes Rebound phenome ...

Dysdiadochokinesia
Dysdiadochokinesia (DDK) is the medical term for an impaired ability to perform rapid, alternating movements (i.e., diadochokinesia). Complete inability is called adiadochokinesia. The term is from Greek ''δυς'' ''dys'' "bad", ''διάδοχος'' ''diadochos'' "succeeding", ''κίνησις'' ''kinesis'' "movement". Signs and symptoms Abnormalities in diadochokinesia can be seen in the upper extremity, lower extremity and in speech. The deficits become visible in the rate of alternation, the completeness of the sequence, and in the variation in amplitude involving both motor coordination and sequencing. Average rate can be used as a measure of performance when testing for dysdiadochokinesia. Dysdiadochokinesia is demonstrated clinically by asking the patient to tap the palm of one hand with the fingers of the other, then rapidly turn over the fingers and tap the palm with the back of them, repeatedly. This movement is known as a pronation/supination test of the upper extremity. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
