Overview: First manual on source control, the current approach to the management of surgical infections.Source control is the key to the management of surgical infections: to control the source, focus on the soSource control is the key to the management of surgical infections. Surgical decision making is based on the marriage of evidence from clinical studies, inferences from biology, and the elusive component of surgical experience; this book combines these three elements. We have recruited an international group of authors who are acknowledged leaders in the field of surgical infectious dise

Overview: Zum alltäglichen Sicherheits- bzw. Unsicherheitserleben in ländlichen Raum.Theorie zur Kriminologie ländlicher Räume.Zum Zusammenhang von Vergemeinschaftungsprozessen und KriminalitätsentwicklungDer Band befasst sich mit der Analyse spezifisch ländlicher Sicherheitskulturen und den damit verbundenen Formen formeller wie informeller sozialer Kontrolle. Ländliche Regionen und Kleinstädte gelten im Alltag gemeinhin als relativ kriminalitätsarm und weitestgehend sozial integriert. Vergemeinschaftungsprozessen und informellen Kontrollmechanismen werden innerhalb dieser Deutungen eine hera

Overview: Eine wirtschaftswissenschaftliche StudieIn diesem Buch untersucht der Autor die Bedeutung des soziologischen Neo-Institutionalismus für eine genauere Umweltanalyse im Strategischen Management. Die Ergebnisse zeigen einerseits, wie Unternehmen ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit, ihren Erfolg und ihre Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeit durch Legitimität erhöhen können, welche wiederum durch dynamische Konformität mit sozialen Strukturen gewonnen wird. Andererseits helfen spezielle Strategien in Situationen zu reagieren, in denen soziale Erwartungen mit ökonomischen Bewertungen in Konflikt stehen. Die

Overview: This book bridges the gap between system theory and global climate change research, and benefits both. A representative set of systems problems is listed indicating how such cross-fertilization would enhance present understanding of global problems while assisting the extension of systems theory. The goal is a comprehensive conceptual model of global change which encompasses atmosphere, lithosphere, ocean, biosphere and cryosphere. The systems model is developed in two steps using a "block diagram" approach. First, causality flows among principal components are identified and a block

Overview: Völlig unerforschtes Thema, hochaktuelle Bedeutung.Konsumeskapismus als Verwöhnungsfalle.Wutbürger als KonsumentenAnlass für dieses Buchs sind die zunehmende Kälte im Umgang der Bürger miteinander und ihre mangelnde Empathie: normenverletzendes Handeln zulasten der Mitmenschen, Hassausbrüche in sozialen Netzen, Übergriffigkeiten jeder Art. Oft wird vor einem Auseinanderfallen des gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhangs gewarnt, manche Protestformen gewinnen gar bürgerkriegsähnlichen Charakter. Welche Rolle spielen dabei hedonistischer Konsum, Identitätszweifel, die Suche nach Selbstwert und
