        Risikopolitik

        by Richard Münch

        Zum Wissen um die Risiken gesellt sich vermehrt die Erfahrung, daß die Fortschritte der Risikokontrolle hinter den Fortschritten der Risikoproduktion zurückbleiben. Die Fragen für die Soziologie heißen: Welche theoretischen Mittel stehen uns heute zur Verfügung, um Politik in ihrer mehr oder weniger gegebenen Fähigkeit zur Risikokontrolle begreifbar zu machen? Welche Restriktionen halten die Risikopolitik davon ab, die an sie herangetragenen Erwartungen zu erfüllen? In welchem kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Kontext findet Risikopolitik statt? Welche Modelle der Risikopolitik haben die Industriegesellschaften aus ihrer besonderen Kultur und institutionellen Struktur heraus entwickelt? Von grundlegenden Fragen der Theorie ausgehend, schreiten Richard Münchs Erörterungen zu den empirischen Fragen der Risikopolitik voran.

        Nematodes as Model Organisms

        by Itamar Glazer, David I Shapiro-llan, Paul W. Sternberg

        Nematodes, which are small multi cellular organisms have been used as biological models since the 1960's. The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans is a free-living nematode, about 1mm in length, that lives in temperate soil environments. It is made up of about 1000 cells, and has a short life cycle of only 2 weeks. It was the first multicellular organism to have its whole genome sequenced. The book includes chapters that summarize the importance of nematodes as model organisms in the fields of genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology, pharmacology, nutrition, ecology and parasitology. Of interest to a broad audience across a wide spectrum of disciplines, the book is useful for biologists working on comparative studies to investigate biological processes across organisms; medical scientists and pharmacologist for exploration of drugs and medicine (including the use of genome editing to eliminate diseases); ecologists considering nematodes as indicators for environment changes; and parasitologists for host-parasite interactions. Many other researchers can use this book as a benchmark for the broad implications of nematology research on other aspects of science.

        Nursing Management for Middle Management in Hospitals

        by Märle Poser, Markus Fecke (Eds.)

        This textbook for professional leaders and ward managers in nursing shows how nurses can use nursing process, ethical decision-making, patient education, and discharge management to act in a way that is grounded in nursing theory and how leaders can challenge, encourage, and value their staff.

        Theory and Model of Physiotherapy

        by Heidi Höppner, Robert Richter (editors)

        How will physiotherapy adapt to developments and challenges in the 21st century?   New thinking while keeping the tried-and-tested: This is the motto adopted by eight physiotherapy researchers and practitioners in this handbook. Their contributions advance the theory for their discipline. They have met regularly at the so-called Berlin Salon since 2015: they analyze, discuss, and incorporate existing models and adopt a theory. They are all professionally qualified physiotherapists with further training in fields such as health science, education, and therapy management. They all suffer from the lack of theory in professional practice, and they have all experienced the diverse, often unconscious discourses in the field.   Theoretical understanding and theory development require theory-driven reflection, the results of which have long since left the Berlin Salon and been adopted internationally.   Target Group: Physiotherapists, healthcare scientists, university instructors

        Linear Models for the Prediction of the Genetic Merit of Animals

        by Raphael A Mrode, Ivan Pocrnic

        The prediction of producing desirable traits in offspring such as increased growth rate, or superior meat, milk and wool production, is a vital economic tool to the animal scientist. Covering the fundamental principles of the application of linear models for the prediction of genetic merit in livestock, this new edition is fully updated to incorporate recent advances in methods of genomic prediction for pure and cross-bred animals. It provides models for the analysis of main production traits as well as functional traits, and includes numerous worked examples. The book covers: - models of survival analysis, social interaction and sire and dam models; - advancements in the use of SNPs in the computation of genomic breeding values; - single step approaches to genomics; - genomic non-additive models; - temporal and genomic analysis of genetic change. Suitable for postgraduate students, researchers and lecturers of animal breeding, genetics and genomics, this established textbook provides a thorough grounding in both the basics and new developments of linear models and animal genetics.
