Overview: The pioneering work by Pierre Janny and Nils Lundberg added a new tool to the investigative armamentarium of the neurosurgeon: continuous monitor­ ing of intracranial pressure (ICP). A small group of basic and clinical sci­ entists recognized the importance of this method and in 1972 an International Symposium was organized by Mario Brock in Hannover, Germany. The workers "of the first hour" had high expectations and thought that the problem of intracranial hypertension could finally be dealt with. The Symposium con­ tinued to grow during subsequent meetings in Lund (1974), Groningen

Overview: By what channels did the French Enlightenment reach the eighteenth-century Irish reader, and what impact did it have?

Overview: Das öffentliche Bewusstsein für steuerliche Regelverstöße ist nach vielseitigen Korruptions- und Steuerskandalen neu geweckt: So rücken auch Compliance-Instrumente für die öffentliche Hand inzwischen immer stärker in den Fokus – etwa der Einsatz eines verwaltungsspezifischen internen Kontrollsystems. Was Tax Compliance Management Systeme (Tax CMS) leisten und wie sich allgemein gültige Bausteine von Tax CMS im Verwaltungskontext bewähren, beleuchten Helena Sauter und Gabi Meissner mit vielen Praxisbeispielen, Checklisten und Prüfungsschemata. - Grundlegende Elemente von Tax CMS: von

Overview: Violence, war and internal conflicts have assumed a new intensity with the decline of the Cold War. There are over 32 civil wars going on today. Our world may well witness over 100 million refugees in the year 2000 as a direct result of internal wars. This volume consists of case studies and theory-oriented papers dealing with Asia, Africa and Latin America and the Middle East. Taken together, they spell out implications of wide general interest, providing a comparative basis for a systematic approach to conflict transformation.978-1-349-22248-3978-1-349-22246-9

Overview: Contains documentation of the DPM-based model for the case of Colombian public schools.Includes exhaustive literature review on the use of performance measurement systems.Explains how to extend the sy.This book analyzes behavioral distortions in public schools and delineates outcome-based performance measurement systems that can prevent and mitigate them. An instrumental view of dynamic performance management (DPM) is used to support the endeavor by identifying how performance drivers affect end results of outcome and output, how end results affect strategic resources, and how strate

Overview: Rapid advances continue to be made in all areas of immunology, not least the biology of the immunoglobulins. This knowledge has resulted in a better understanding of antibody responses and helped to clarify pathogenic mechanisms in many diseases, particularly autoimmune and allergic diseases, as well as expand our comprehension of antibody deficiency diseases and mechanisms in therapeutic immunization. In addition, the recognition that diverse disease states may result in abnormalities of the amount of immunoglobulins in body fluids has resulted in the use of immunoglobulin assays fo

Overview: In transfusion medicine the scientific fundamentals ofimmunology have had a considerable clinical impact. Transfusion maysuppress the immunity but some patients could suffer disadvantagesincluding GvHD, alloimmunisation and possible cancer, where whitecells (WBC) play pivotal roles in this phenomenon, presenting antigensand producing cytokines. A clinical application of this practice isLAK-cells targeted against cancer. MHC on the WBC may provideadditional immunological modulations through series of secondarymessengers. Thus reduction of WBC in the blood and bone marrow may beadvanta

Overview: International Symposia sponsored by ClBA Basle have been held once a year since 1959 in various European countries. In con­ trast to the many scientific meetings organised by the ClBA FOUN­ DATION either at its headquarters in London or occasionally abroad, the subjects dealt with at these International Symposia have con­ cerned problems more directly related to ClBA‘S own research work in the pharmaceutical field. The various topics covered up to the present reflect the far-reaching interests and the wide­ spread activities that a pharmaceutical enterprise develops in quite diverse

Overview: The idea for an international symposium on the interstellar medium was first discussed at the University of Wyoming during the summer of 1984. It was obvious that the outstanding natural beauty of the Teton mountain range in northwestern Wyoming must be matched by a meeting with the broadest appeal to the astronomical community. If the meeting was to produce a book, it must likewise be an important contribution to the astronomical literature. It was for these reasons that early in the discussions, it was decided that the University should host a "school". with the invited speakers pr
