Our vanishing relative - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Our vanishing relative - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The orang-utan is a superb representative of a major sector of the structure of biological diversity in Sumatra and Borneo. Conservation of the living conditions of the orang-utan implies maintaining the integrity of the entire natural ecosystem of indigenous plant and animal species known as the West Malesian rainforest, i.e. the natural tropical evergreen forests of distinctive floral composition which stretch from the isthmus of Kra, in Thailand, across peninsular West Malaysia, south and eastwards, including Sumatra, Borneo and Java. The main question behind this study is: What is the current status of the orang-utan? Or in other words: • what is the current geographical distribution range? • what have been the trends in the size of its range and numbers? • to what extent is this range covered by (a) conservation areas, (b) timher concessions (i.e. modified habitat) and (c) plans for conversion (i.e. obliteration of the habitat)? • what is the current quality of habitat in this range and what is the prospect for conservation or restoration of such habitat? • what is a plausible average density of the ape in such habitat? • what are the prospects for protection of the ape? • what should and can be clone to give the ape a chance of survival? Several actions were undertaken to find answers to these questions, and the major results are: • In Sumatra the orang-utan has a much more extensive range than was hitherto

Fundamental and Applied Nano-Electromagnetics II - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Fundamental and Applied Nano-Electromagnetics II - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The increasing prevalence of nanotechnologies has led to the birth of "nanoelectromagnetics," a novel applied science related to the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with quantum mechanical low-dimensional systems. This book provides an overview of the latest advances in nanoelectromagnetics, and presents contributions from an interdisciplinary community of scientists and technologists involved in this research topic. The aspects covered here range from the synthesis of nanostructures and nanocomposites to their characterization, and from the design of devices and systems to their fabrication. The book also focuses on the novel frontier of terahertz technology, which has been expanded by the impressive strides made in nanotechnology, and presents a comprehensive overview of the: - synthesis of various nanostructured materials; - study of their electrical and optical properties; - use of nano-sized elements and nanostructures as building blocks for devices; - design and fabrication of nanotechnology devices operating in the THz, IR and optical range. The book introduces the reader to materials like nanocomposites, graphene nanoplatelets, carbon nanotubes, metal nanotubes, and silicon nanostructures; to devices like photonic crystals, microcavities, antennas, and interconnects; and to applications like sensing and imaging, with a special emphasis on the THz frequency range.

Practical Management of Hypertension - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Practical Management of Hypertension - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

WILLEM H. BIRKENHA. GER This compact guide aims to define the current approach to hypertension in practice, with the focus on the individual whom the physician faces across his desk. In the population, blood pressures are distributed along a Gaussian type of curve, but with some tailing towards the upper range. A systolic blood pressure of 160 mmHg is commonly accepted as the upper limit of the normal range. For diastolic pressure, the gradings are much more detailed: borderline hypertension (90-94 mmHg, mild hypertension (95-104 mmHg), moderate hypertension (105-114 mmHg), and severe hypertension (115 mmHg and over). Despite its skewing to the right, the bell shape of the distribution curve of blood pressures implies that the milder elevations of blood pressure are the most common. Such pressures are observed in 15-20% of the population upon casual measurement. After rechecking - which is mandator- the prevalence of hypertension drops to some 5%, due to psychological and statistical factors. Even this modest segment of the population represents an important proportion in terms of future cardiovascular risk. It is an essential part of preventive and curative health care to identify these people; the more so, because some 40% of the excess risk has already been proven to be reversible by conventional antihypertensive treatment.

The Maltreatment of Children - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The Maltreatment of Children - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The maltreatment of children is an issue that has always been with us and civilized societies provide a range of services both social and medical to care for the children and families afflicted. In recent years, greater attention has been drawn to the medical aspects by competent authorities in the fields of forensic medicine, forensic psychiatry, epidemiological psychiatry, child psychiatry and family psychiatry; as well as the social aspects by those child welfare and child care agencies who have the difficult and distasteful task of removing children, with the help of the courts, from parents who can abuse them and are not able to care for them adequately. A multitude of social agencies, whose range of ac­ tivities involve both the care and, where possible, the social betterment of afflicted families are now involved. Not least in importance is an increase in our global knowledge to help in the prevention or better treatment of these problems. This means more informa­ tion on familial and genetic factors in human central nervous system develop­ ment in its broadest sense. This would include how the central nervous system originates, mediates and controls the build up, speed of development and im­ pulsive release, mastery and direction of aggressive drives and impulses. Very little is so far known about these factors.

European Directory of Research Centers in the Fisheries Sector - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The future of the Common Fisheries Policy depends on progress in the relevant areas of research. This applies to the whole range of management decisions, where precise, reliable and complete data are essential to inform those who must decide on the pursuit of existing activities, especially in the area of maritime fisheries and the development of promising new activities such as aquaculture. The Commission wants to act as a catalyst, by promoting the circulation of information and the coordination of research programmes. DG XIV has therefore decided to compile this directory, which lists the research centers of the Member States. Specific information from each research center is also listed: research activities, facilities, etc.

Vegetation between land and sea - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Vegetation between land and sea - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

This book was composed in honour of Dr. Ir. W. G. Beeftink to commemorate his retirement as a plant ecologist at the Delta Institute for H ydrobiological Research, Yerseke, The Netherlands. The editors'' main aim has been to collect scientific papers of Wim Beeftink''s friends and colleagues. The title of the book: ''Vegetation between land and sea. Structure and processes'' was originally proposed by Prof. Dr. W. H. O. Ernst. It was amended by Prof. Dr. J. J. Barkman. In our judgement it reflects the best attempt to cover the numerous and divergent contributions under one heading. Not all papers however fit the "field" covered by the title, and we use this word both literally and metaphorically. We are glad and proud that so many authors went through the strain of the production of a paper, ill'' most cases not scheduled, with eagerness. Due to the fact that Wim Beeftink has so many close friends in the field of plant ecology, this fiber amicorum covers a wide range of disciplines covered, in turn, by a great variety of people. The papers range from taxonomy to experimental physiology, from fungi to seed plants, from autecology to synsystematics. Environmental pollution and management studies are also included. The contents of the papers depict Wim''s personal evolution as a botanist. Retired professors as well as students are amongst the authors, heads of departments as well as technicians. It proves Wim''s ability to be of one mind with all ranks.

Access to Education in Europe - Paul Downes - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Access to Education in Europe - Paul Downes - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

This book identifies key elements of an international framework to develop systems-level change to promote access to education, including higher education, for socio-economically marginalized groups. It is based on interviews with senior government officials and senior management in universities, non formal education and prisons across 12 countries in Europe. The book identifies systemic obstacles to and opportunities for promotion of access to education for socio-economically excluded groups that are issues transferable to other countries'' contexts. It adopts a systemic focus on access across a range of domains of education, both formal higher education and non-formal education, as well as prison education. Through a focus on a more dynamic structuralist systems framework it develops an innovative post-Bronfenbrennerian view of system levels in lifespan developmental and educational psychology. It also develops an international agenda for reform in relation to these various system levels for access to education for socio-economically marginalized groups, through extraction of key structural indicators to evaluate reform progress in a transparent, culturally sensitive manner. The book identifies current gaps and strengths in policy, practice and structures that impact upon access to education, including higher education, across a range of countries. These gaps and strengths are illustrative and are to inform a strategic approach to system level change and development for the promotion of access to education for socio-economically marginalized groups in Europe and beyond. "Too many educational practices entrench social exclusion: it is an urgent priority across Europe that social justice policies are implemented for the inclusion of marginalised groups. Paul Downes'' analysis of these issues is timely. His conclusions are considered and practical: this book is a valuable and constructive resource for practitioners, academics and the policy community."

Successfully Managing Complex Companies - Rudolf Grunig - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Complex companies are characterized by high turnover, a wide range of products and services, international operations, a significant number of employees, and decentralized production. In addition to their size and diversity, complex companies are also characterized by high environmental dynamics and significant internal changes. Successfully managing a complex company presents a major challenge. This book begins by providing an overview of the most important tasks for both the supervisory and executive boards. It distinguishes three core tasks, six analysis and design tasks, and two meta-tasks. The individual tasks are then briefly described in a practical manner, including: - The importance of the task - The framework and description of the main subtasks - The responsibilities of the supervisory and executive boardsThe primary audience for this book is members of supervisory and executive boards of complex companies. It can also be valuable for consultants. Finally, it is suitable as a teaching aid in master's programs, executive courses, and in-house programs of companies.

Muslim Merit-making in Thailand's Far-South - Christopher M. Joll - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Muslim Merit-making in Thailand's Far-South - Christopher M. Joll - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

This volume provides an ethnographic description of Muslim merit-making rhetoric, rituals and rationales in Thailand''s Malay far-south. This study is situated in Cabetigo, one of Pattani''s oldest and most important Malay communities that has been subjected to a range of Thai and Islamic influences over the last hundred years. The volume describes religious rhetoric related to merit-making being conducted in both Thai and Malay, that the spiritual currency of merit is generated through the performance of locally occurring Malay adat , and globally normative amal ''ibadat. Concerning the rationale for merit-making, merit-makers are motivated by both a desire to ensure their own comfort in the grave and personal vindication at judgment, as well as to transfer merit for those already in the grave, who are known to the merit-maker. While the rhetoric elements of Muslim merit-making reveal Thai influence, its ritual elements confirm the local impact of reformist activism.

Problems in Ophthalmology - M.g. Glasspool - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

This series of books is designed to help general practitioners. So are other books. What is unusual in this instance is their collec­ tive authorship; they are written by specialists working at district general hospitals. The writers derive their own experi­ ence from a range of cases less highly selected than those on which textbooks are traditionally based. They are also in a good position to pick out topics which they see creating difficulties for the practitioners of their district, whose personal capacities are familiar to them; and to concentrate on contexts where mistakes are most likely to occur. They are all well-accustomed to working in consultation. All the authors write from hospital experience and from the viewpoint of their specialty. There are, therefore, matters important to family practice which should be sought not within this series, but elsewhere. Within the series much practical and useful advice is to be found with which the general practitioner can compare his existing performance and build in new ideas and improved techniques. These books are attractively produced and I recommend them.

Rubber Chemistry - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Rubber Chemistry - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

The property of rubber elasticity is displayed by an ever increasing range of polymers-hydrocarbon, polar and even inorganic. Such rubbery polymers, however, differ in the way by which they are made, in their chemical and physical properties, in the way in which they form network structures and in the way in which they age. Such differences are due, primarily, to differences in their underlying chemistry and chemical structure. It is the aim of this monograph to survey, in a single volume, the chemistry of these rubbery polymeric materials and to cover such aspects as their preparative chemistry, relationship of chemical structure to properties, the molecular nature of high elasticity, cross­ linking and other chemical modification and ageing. This has been done, not simply because rubbery materials are so fascinating in their own right but also because of their industrial importance. It is therefore hoped that this book will help both the polymerization chemist and the rubber technologist to have a better and broader­ based understanding of the materials with which they are concerned and to be able to suggest directions along which developments may proceed.

Managing Sustainable Business - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Managing Sustainable Business - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

This book offers 32 texts and case studies from across a wide range of business sectors around a managerial framework for Sustainable Business. The case studies are developed for and tested in executive education programmes at leading business schools. The book is based on the premise that the key for managing the sustainable business is finding the right balance over time between managing competitiveness and profitability AND managing the context of the business with its political, social and ecological risks and opportunities. In that way, a sustainable business is highly responsive to the demands and challenges from both markets and societies and managers embrace the complexity, ambivalence and uncertainty that goes along with this approach. The book presents a framework that facilitates the adoption of best business practice. This framework leads executives through a systematic approach of strategic analysis and business planning in risk management, issues management, stakeholder management, sustainable business development and strategic differentiation, business model innovation and developing dynamic capabilities. The approach helps broaden the understanding of what sustainable performance means, by protecting business value against sustainability risks and creating business value from sustainability opportunities.

Clinical Management of Melanoma - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Clinical Management of Melanoma - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Melanoma is a disease entity that has the capability of involving all organ systems of the human body. During the last decade a dramatic increase in the incidence of this disease has been noted. It is surpassed in this dreadful statistic only by carcinoma of the lung. During this time frame, much has been defined and written concerning the histopathology and prognostic fac- tors of this neoplastic disorder. The relative ease of maintaining this malig- nant cell in tissue culture has permitted the cellular biologist, tumor immu- nologist, immunochemist and geneticist an ideal in vitro experimental mod- el for advancing our understanding of human malignancy. Histopathologic features, prognostic factors, membrane antigenic expression and host-tumor relationship in this disease have all been extensively studied and it has thus become evident that melanoma can and does serve as a prototype for the study of human malignancies in general. Basic scientists including embry- ologists, immunologists, virologists, immunochemists, geneticists, biostatisti- cians and cellular biologists, should find this monograph of interest. Bridg- ing clinical specialists including the pathologist, diagnostic and therapeutic radiologist and epidemiologist will also find areas of interest in these writ- ings. Because of the fact that melanoma can involve all organ systems, clin- icians ranging from family practitioners to the subspecialists should become thoroughly familiar with the clinical aspects of this disease, which are fully covered in this book. Locoregional therapIes are discussed in some depth.

Gendered Choices - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Gendered Choices - - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

This important book breaks new ground in addressing issues of gendered learning in different contexts across the (adult) life span at the start of the 21 st century. Adult learning sits within a shifting landscape of educational policy, profoundly influenced by the skills agenda, by complex funding policies, new qualifications and the widening/narrowing participation debate. The book is unique in highlighting the centrality of gendered choices to these developments which shape participation in and experiences of lifelong learning. Gendered Choices critically examines the continued expansion of a skills-based approach in areas of lifelong learning, including career decisions, professional identities and informal networks. It explores key intersections of adult learning from a gender perspective: notably participation, workplace learning and informal pathways. Drawing on research from a range of contexts, Gendered Choices demonstrates that for women the public/private spaces of work and home are often conflated, although the gendering of ''choice'' has largely been ignored by policy makers. The themes of the book bring together some of these critical issues, explored through the multiple and fractured identities which constitute gendered lives. The book addresses these in an international context, with contributions from Canada, Spain and Iran that provide a wider international perspective on shared issues.

Male Fertility and Its Regulation - T.j. Lobl - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Male Fertility and Its Regulation - T.j. Lobl - Bog - Springer - Plusbog.dk

Uncontrolled population growth, a significant problem for many countries, depresses real living standards in all developing areas. As a corollary, un­ controlled population growth also stresses the ability to deliver adequate reproductive health care on both national and individual levels. To focus on this and related problems an International Congress to examine many aspects of male and female Reproductive Health Center Care was held on 10-15 October 1982 in Maui, Hawaii, USA. This volume is a result of the proceedings from the ''Symposium on Male Fertility and its Regulation'' which was a part of the Reproductive Health Care Congress. The organizers of this symposium recognized the need to focus male reproductive understanding on contraceptive development. The ultimate objective was and still is to produce a variety of safe and effective male contraceptives similar to that accomplished in the female. Speakers were invited to review the state of the art in several areas related to male contra­ ception, reproductive toxicity and reproductive biology. The abstracts of these sessions were published as a special issue of Archives of Andrology (Vol. 9, No.1, August, 1982). Subsequently, this volume was assembled from key papers presented at the Symposium. Additionally, invited man­ uscripts from leaders in specific areas were solicited to provide additional range to the topics covered.
