Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -L'esigenza di chiarire i concetti attuali dell'atopia, che per troppo tempo hanno oscillato tra una primitiva visione squisitamente clinica ed una successiva unicamente immunologica, era matura da tempo. L'avere compreso che il ruolo delle immunoglobuline E non è esaustivo ed avere accettato la salomonica divisione tra atopia intrinseca ed estrinseca, sono stati i primi due passi fondamentali. Le recenti scoperte del ruolo dell'immunità innata, e quindi dei peptidi antimicrobici, hanno aperto dei fondamentali spazi di comprensione nell'atopia e non solo. Quello che ora appare chiaro è che l'atopia non è la malattia di un organo ma piuttosto un difetto delle membrane che delimitano il nostro 'self'. Il fatto che queste membrane si chiamino pelle, intestino, congiuntiva, bronchi o quant'altro ha artificialmente frammentato la comprensione ed il trattamento di un fenomeno unitario. Questo libro vuole cercare di fare una sintesi delle diverse esperienze ma soprattutto essere uno stimolo a far sì che la medicina si focalizzi costruttivamente sullo stesso bersaglio. Se così sarà, non assisteremo più a'guerre di religione' tra scienziati e medici pratici o, peggio ancora, tra i differenti specialisti che si contendono il paziente. Se l'atopia, come noi crediamo, è un problema globale, esso può essere adeguatamente affrontato solo in un contesto pluridisciplinare e in clima collaborativo, non solo tra medico e medico ma anche tra medico e paziente. 380 pp. Italienisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book applies the concept of synchronization to security of global heterogeneous and hetero-standard systems by modeling the relationship of risk access spots (RAS) between advanced and developing economies network platforms.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Despite the inroads that women have made into the professions in recent years, the glass ceiling is just as persistent as ever. Gendered Discourse in the Professional Workplace aims to investigate the crucial role that gendered discourses play in perpetuating workplace gender inequalities. A range of interactional sociolinguistic data is analysed from ethnographic case studies of businesses in which women and men managers perform a range of stereotypical gendered speech styles when enacting their professional identities. These interactions are examined as part of a broader interdisciplinary framework for analysis, which enables language, gender and power to be scrutinized at both micro and macro levels. Practical guidelines for conducting future projects are presented. 236 pp. Englisch.
