Overview: Was ist sozialer Wandel?Die Betrachtung des sozialen Wandels und darüber hinaus der Wunsch, ihn voraussagen zu können, standen am Beginn der Soziologie. Damals teilte diese Disziplin mit der Geschichtsphilosophie kühne Vorstellungen von Gesetzmäßigkeiten vieler Kulturen. Das 19. Jahrhundert war ein Höhepunkt dieser großen Entwürfe. Später schrumpfte der Erklärungsgegenstand auf die Analyse der westlichen "Moderne". Wie können sich Sozialwissenschaftler die "Modernisierung moderner Gesellschaften" vorstellen? lautete die Fragestellung einer der letzten Soziologentage..Der erste Band v

Overview: Zentrale Herausforderungen für Professions- und DisziplinentwicklungMit der Errichtung der ersten Fachhochschulstudiengänge 2001 ist die österreichische hochschulpolitische Entwicklungslinie Sozialer Arbeit vorläufig abgeschlossen.

Overview: In this book on the optimal treatment of the injured spinal cord we present the reasons why we consider it necessary to handle trauma­ tized medullary tissue in accordance with the classical biological principles of wound healing in general, namely by long-term, ten­ sion-free immobilization of the spinal cord. Today, such immobili­ zation for this purpose can only be achieved by surgical secure­ ment of slight dorsiflexion of the cervical spine. Traumatically compressed medullary tissue is invariably attenu­ ated and weakened. On application of skull traction, the weakened section o
