Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Following the first comprehensive transdisciplinary dialogue on humans in outer space which resulted in 'Humans in Outer Space - Interdisciplinary Odysseys', the European Science Foundation (ESF), the European Space Agency (ESA), and the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) have continued and deepened this transdisciplinary dialogue, which can now be found in Humans in Outer Space - Interdisciplinary Perspectives. Going further than regarding humans as better-than-robot tools for exploration, it investigates the human quest for odysseys beyond Earth's atmosphere and reflects on arising issues related to Europe's role among the States conducting human exploration. It provides perspectives related to governance, management of space exploration, space settlements, the role of astronauts in the future as well as related to the encounter of extraterrestrial life. 360 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Although cardiac surgery has made an enormous progress during the last decades, the discipline has to cope with essential changes: Patients are increasingly cared for by cardiologists and therefore referred to the surgeon in a later stage of disease. Consequently, they are more often in an increasingly serious state or in advanced age with significant comorbidities. In order to meet the requirements of these different patient groups, cardiosurgical treatments require special protectional strategies for the heart in order to perform the planned operations safely. This book presents the latest knowledge of modern techniques of myocardial protection taking into consideration the different patient groups and current scientific strategies. Furthermore, it discusses present and future scientific approaches in myocardial protection and preservation. 287 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Embitterment is a distinct state of mood known to everyone. It can be seen in the context of exceptional though 'normal' negative life events. It is an emotional reaction e.g. to humiliation, to being severely disappointed by others, or to violations of basic values. Embitterment is accompanied by other emotions like feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, poor moods and a lack of drive, and aggression towards oneself and others. It can end in suicide or even murder-suicide and in a distinct pathological state known as 'Posttraumatic Embitterment Disorder (PTED)'. But despite the high prevalence rates, the detrimental effects on individuals and its forensic and societal importance, embitterment has yet to receive due scientific attention. In this book pioneers in embitterment research summarize the current knowledge on embitterment, its triggers, phenomenology and consequences. The work is intended to stimulate international debate and to contribute to a better understanding of embitterment and a deeper appreciation of the impact of exceptional but normal negative life events on psychological well-being. 348 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Strain is used to boost performance of MOSFETs. Modeling of strain effects on transport is an important task of modern simulation tools required for device design. The book covers all relevant modeling approaches used to describe strain in silicon.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Gewalt in der Pflege kann viele Gesichter haben: Sie kann in Pflegeheim, Krankenhaus oder häuslichem Umfeld auftreten, von professionellen Pflegekräften, Angehörigen, Dritten, aber auch dem Patienten selbst ausgehen, direkt durch eine Person oder indirekt durch die Gesellschaft bedingt sein. Der Begriff Gewalt' umfasst dabei ein sehr breites Spektrum, über tätliche Übergriffe durch bzw. an Pflegende(n), (finanzielle) Ausbeutung, Vernachlässigung bis zu Medikamentenüberdosierung. Trotzdem wird Gewalt in der Pflege bisher kaum thematisiert.In diesem Buch widmen sich die erfahrenen Autorinnen daher des brisanten Phänomens der Gewalt an und durch Personen mit Demenz. Sie greifen Ursachen und Entstehungsszenarien auf und bieten Vorschläge für Vermeidung bzw. Abbau von Gewalt in diesem Umfeld an. Das Buch ist dadurch eine wertvolle Hilfe für alle Pflegenden, die sich in allen Facetten ihrer Tätigkeit fortbilden und die Augen auch nicht vor dieser ernsten und komplexen Thematik verschließen möchten. 212 pp. Deutsch.…
