        CHANGING ROLES

        The Serious Physician becomes a Serious Patien

        by Basil Porter

        The author, a pediatrician, begins his book with a description of his vivid memories of suffering from a bad case of appendicitis as a young child, He proceeds to describe a series of serious illnesses and trauma that affected him in his adult life: a missed tumor in his jaw, a train accident resulting in major damage to his spine and nervous system, and then the unexpected discovery of leukemia, all of which test his endurance as a patient. But what Prof. Porter so vividly presents is the additional challenge faced when the doctor becomes the patient. While stressing the amazing advances in medical technology and science that saved his life on a number of occasions, he draws attention to the lack of empathy from the professionals felt so frequently during his medical trials. As a physician, he has been frequently expected to tolerate his problems and to be a braver warrior than the average patient, when in reality, in such situations the doctor is still just a patient. The author suggests that much of the solution lies within each of us, and that a positive approach to life and good social support can do much to help us through adversity. This book is not a textbook for the medical profession, but rather the narrative confession of an senior physician who has had to face multiple testing experiences from the viewpoint of the patient. Basil Porter is a pediatrician with years of experience in both academic medicine settings and health systems management. He is an emeritus professor of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. He is also an accomplished violinist and violist. 184 pages, 13.5X20.5 Cm  Click the following link to view  the related article: https://www.ima.org.il/FilesUpload/IMAJ/0/271/135527.pdf

        Im Wir und Jetzt

        Feministin werden

        by Priya Basil, Beatrice Faßbender

        Aufgewachsen zwischen zwei Frauen – Mutter und Großmutter –, die gegensätzlicher nicht sein könnten, sucht Priya Basil ihre eigene feministische Stimme. Getrieben von der Vergangenheit, der Vielfalt der Positionen und einer außerordentlichen Erfahrung – der kollaborativen Übernahme eines Modemagazins durch 39 Frauen – beschreibt sie ihren Weg zu mehr Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit. Brilliant verbindet Priya Basil Selbstverortung mit Philosophie und mitreißender Gesellschaftsanalyse. Und liefert mit Hilfe vieler Verbündeter eine Antwort auf die Frage: Was tun gegen die tief verwurzelte Abwertung von Frauen in unserer Sprache, Geschichte und Gesellschaft? Feministin werden, im Wir und Jetzt.

        Gastfreundschaft

        by Priya Basil, Beatrice Faßbender

        »Ich lade dich ein.« Ein Satz, der Vorfreude weckt: auf einen anregenden Abend bei leckerem Essen und guten Gesprächen. Doch die berühmte Gastfreundschaft ist noch viel mehr als das –sie ist ein vielseitiges Geben und Nehmen, das Familie, Freunde und Fremde einschließt und in jeder Kultur etwas anders ist. Die in London geborene, in Kenia aufgewachsene und heute in Berlin lebende Autorin Priya Basil erzählt von den indisch-kenianischen Traditionen ihrer Familie, von einer unerwarteten Einladung zum Spargelessen und einer Massenspeisung in einem Sikh-Tempel mitten in Berlin. Sie hält ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für ein gastfreundliches Europa und lädt dabei immer wieder in ihre eigene Küche ein. Denn die besten Gespräche führt man bekanntlich an einem reich gedeckten Tisch: über Gott und die Welt, Politik und Kultur und über die Frage, ob es eigentlich bedingungslose Gastfreundschaft gibt.

        Philosophie der wirklichen Welt

        by John R. Searle, Harvey P. Gavagai, John R. Searle

        John R. Searle gehört zu den wirkmächtigsten Philosophen der Gegenwart. Er hat bahnbrechende Untersuchungen über Sprechakte veröffentlicht, eine eigene Konzeption von Intentionalität vorgelegt und das Funktionieren gesellschaftlicher Realität erklärt. Er hat die Diskussion um künstliche Intelligenz mit seinem Bild des »chinesischen Zimmers« bereichert und damit allen Vergleichen des menschlichen Geistes mit dem Computer ein vieldiskutiertes Argument beschert. Hier zieht Searle die Summe aus diesen Themen. Durch die leichtverständliche Darstellung und Searles Fähigkeit, komplexe Probleme in wenigen Sätzen zu skizzieren und zu lösen, eignet sich das Buch nicht nur als Einführung in Searles Denken, sondern auch als Einführung in die Gegenwartsphilosophie überhaupt.

        Toward a History of Ukrainian literature

        by George G. Grabowicz

        The work of the famous American-Ukrainian Slavologist and Ukrainian scholar Hryhoriy Hrabovych interprets the history of Ukrainian literature in several main ways: theoretical, comparative, immanent and historiographical. The book includes his studies, essays, and polemics written over the years. They were mainly produced in times of a sharp confrontation between official Soviet and Western approaches to literary studies. Today, after Ukraine gained its independence, there is an urgent need for a thorough reassessment of various scientific traditions and paradigms as well as a review of the canon of Ukrainian literature, its histography and methodology. The vast majority of these works were published in English or in sources unavailable for the Ukrainian reader, including specialist researchers. This edition can significantly reorient our understanding of the history of Ukrainian literature and enable a rethinking of Ukrainian cultural and intellectual processes.

        Intentionalität

        Eine Abhandlung zur Philosophie des Geistes

        by Harvey P. Gavagai, John R. Searle

        Nach seinen sprachphilosophischen Arbeiten ('Sprechakte', stw 458; 'Ausdruck und Bedeutung', stw 349) hat John R. Searle mit 'Intentionalität' eine Untersuchung zu einem Kernstück der Philosophie des Geistes vorgelegt, die in einem engen thematischen Zusammenhang mit den früheren Arbeiten steht. Intentionalität ist nach Searles Auffassung die Basis sprachlicher Bedeutung. In seiner Theorie der Intentionalität geht es um die begrifflichen Eigenschaften intentionaler Zustände (auf die Frage nach ihrem ontologischen Status geht er ausführlicher ein in 'Geist, Hirn und Wissenschaft', stw 591). Zwei Aspekte stehen dabei im Vordergrund der Untersuchung: die Logik der Repräsentation und der Kausalität intentionaler Zustände. Doch Searle entwickelt in dieser Arbeit nicht nur eine Theorie der Intentionalität und des Zusammenhangs zwischen sprachlichem und geistigem Inhalt. In einem vornehmlich kritischen Teil setzt er sich ausführlich mit konkurrierenden Auffassungen aus dem Bereich der analytischen Philosophie auseinander, insbesondere mit derzeit sehr einflußreichen 'nicht-deskriptivistischen' Theorien des Bezugs, wie sie von S. Kripke, H. Putnam, K. Donnellan, T. Burge und D. Kaplan vertreten und angeregt wurden.

        Bios und Zoë

        Die menschliche Natur im Zeitalter ihrer technischen Reproduzierbarkeit

        by Martin G. Weiß

        Mit dem Aufkommen der Biotechnologien ist die Natur des Menschen scheinbar verfügbar und manipulierbar geworden und die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von biologischem Leben und menschlicher Lebensform rückt zunehmend ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit. Bios, das spezifische Leben einzelner Wesen, und Zoë, die einfache Tatsache des Lebens, scheinen immer stärker auseinanderzutreten. Der interdisziplinäre Sammelband stellt den Überlegungen bekannter europäischer Autoren die Positionen namhafter Vertreter der angelsächsischen Science Technology Studies gegenüber und bietet so einen aufschlußreichen Überblick über die aktuelle Auseinandersetzung der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften mit dem Phänomen der Lebenswissenschaften und ihren biotechnologischen Anwendungen. Mit Beiträgen u. a. von Dieter Birnbacher, Bruno Latour, Gianni Vattimo, Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, Karin Knorr Cetina, Nikolas Rose, Paul Rabinow und Charis Thompson.

        Diphtheria, Second Edition

        by Patrick G. Guilfoile, Ph.D.

        Diphtheria is a bacterial infection caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, which attacks the respiratory system. Although the earliest accounts of diphtheria date back at least 2,000 years, this disease was first associated with major epidemics in Europe during the 16th century. By the 18th century, diphtheria became a major cause of childhood illness and death in the New World. With the advent of widespread vaccination in the 1920s, the number of cases and deaths dropped dramatically. However, in areas where vaccination rates drop, diphtheria can rapidly become reestablished, as seen in the late 1990s in several former Soviet republics. Diphtheria, Second Edition describes the disease, the bacteria that causes it, and the development of effective treatments.Chapters include: History of Diphtheria How Does Corynebacterium Diphtheriae Cause  Disease? How Is Diphtheria Treated? How Is Diphtheria Prevented? Resurgence of Diphtheria in the Former Soviet Union, Yemen, Venezuela, and Bangladesh Uses of Diphtheria Toxin.

        Whooping Cough, Second Edition

        by Patrick G. Guilfoile, Ph.D.

        Whooping cough, also called pertussis, is a highly contagious disease caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacterium. Characterized by severe coughing fits, whooping cough can lead to pneumonia, convulsions, encephalopathy, and, in rare cases, death. Since most infections occur in unvaccinated infants and children, vaccination is recommended for this highly contagious disease for infants starting at 2 months of age, with booster shots throughout childhood. Although whooping cough is more common in undeveloped nations, it is on the rise in the United States, with more than 15,000 cases in the country in 2006 compared to 1,000 in 1976. Whooping Cough explores both the historical and epidemiological aspects of this disease as well as its biology, providing information on its prevalence, treatment, vaccination, and prevention. Chapters include: What Is Whooping Cough? The History of Whooping Cough The Biology of Whooping Cough The Toxins of Bordetella Pertussis Diagnosis and Treatment of Whooping Cough Prevention of Whooping Cough Future Prospects and Concerns Regarding Whooping Cough.
