Overview: Eine soziologische Studie.Aktuelle sozialwissenschaftliche BeiträgeErna Dosch untersucht aus der Genderperspektive anhand von 30 biografisch-narrativen Interviews mit häuslich pflegenden (Ehe-)Partnern und Söhnen, wie diese in dem weiblich konnotierten Bereich der Pflege ihre Pflegearrangements gestalten. Hieraus resultiert eine Typologie der Arrangements von Pflegetätigkeiten, die auch die Vereinbarkeit von Pflege und Beruf mit einbezieht. Die Autorin zeigt auf, welche Motive für die Männer handlungsleitend sind, welche biographischen Faktoren die Pflegeübernahme beeinflussen und di

Overview: The early 1990‘s marked an environmental watershed for our countly. Under two federal administrations significant environmental legislative, regulatOly and institutional changes took place which affected our Nation‘s wetland resources. Injust a few years, we have seen rapid evolution in the way in which we view wetlands with more emphasis on specific wetland types and the geographic provinces in which they occur. This Southern Appalachian Man and the Biosphere (SAMAB) conference on "Wetland Ecology, Management and Conservation" represents just one example of our desire to understand

Overview: Journalismus im WandelDas Mediensystem hat in den westlichen Hochleistungsgesellschaften eine Führungsrolle übernommen: Politik und Wirtschaft handeln mehr als je zuvor nach den publizistischen Regeln, die Presse, Funk und Fernsehen vorgeben. Doch je stärker unser Bild von Wirklichkeit durch die Medien bestimmt wird, desto professioneller werden die Einflußversuche durch PR- und Kommunikationsmanager aus Unternehmen, Parteien und gesellschaftlichen Organisationen. Der Band bringt komprimiert und gut lesbar die unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen von Journalisten, PR-Managern und Wissenscha

Overview: Der Kongreßband 1996 in Langenbecks Archiv enthält die Hauptvorträge des 113. Kongresses der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Chirurgie in Berlin sowie die durch ein Peer review ausgewählten freien Vorträge. Dieser Band unterscheidet sich von seinen Vorgängern dadurch, daß nicht nur "the state of the art" der üblichen Themen wie Onkologie, MIC, Infektiologie sowie Themen der Schwerpunkte Unfall-, Gefäß- und Thoraxchirurgie behandelt werden. Besonders breit werden auch allgemein interessierende Themen wie "Alter und Chirurgie", "Sterbehilfe", "Chirurgie und Industrie" sowie der geplante "Ve

Overview: Incorporates a useful and novel “4 cusp” approach, which has proved very helpful to many women, both to themselves and also in allowing them to explain to their families where they are in the process.This book is designed, as the title “Pathways to healing” suggests, to allow you and your family ready access to all the information you require about your c- cer to allow you to understand the different directions your disease may take. It should allow you to realize the breadth of possible outcome from where you stand at the particular point in time when you buy the book, or as your di

Overview: A study in the field of economics.Themain goal of this book is explaining which customers create value forsuppliers and thereby realizes a better understanding of how supplierscan improve their revenue for value proposition and value creation inindustrial markets. Twostudies examine customer characteristics which moderate therelationship between supplier behavior and sales performance. Theresults support companies to identify and target customer contactpersons and companies who show higher potential to create future valueto the supplier and, therefore, should be approached and mainta

Overview: This book aims to trace the life of the seventeenth-century Frenchwoman from cradle to the grave through mainly contemporary primary sources which include just about everything from collections of laws to traveller‘s tales. Rather than reworking and refuting the twentieth-century experts in the field, the author works directly through from birth and childhood through matrimony, women at work, and in political life, manners and religion to conclusive death.978-0-333-46395-6978-1-349-20067-2

Overview: Dennis C. Jett examines why peacekeeping operations fail by comparing the unsuccessful attempt at peacekeeping in Angola with the successful effort in Mozambique, alongside a wide range of other peacekeeping experiences. The book argues that while the causes of past peacekeeping failures can be identified, the chances for success will be difficult to improve because of the way such operations are initiated and conducted, and the way the United Nations operates as an organization. Jett reviews the history of peacekeeping and the evolution in the number, size, scope, and cost of peacek

Overview: This work explores matrophobia - the fear not of one s mother or of motherhood but of becoming one s mother - in past and present white feminist analyses of motherhood and mothering. By tracing white second wave feminism s strategic choice to organize first as sisters then as daughters, O Brien Hallstein argues matrophobia became embedded in past and continues to linger in contemporary feminist analyses. As a result, contemporary analyses reveal crucially important but limited understandings of contemporary motherhood and mothering. This important work concludes that matrophobia can

Overview: From the time questions about the impact of wireless technology on public health were first raised in 1993 through the present, Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR) has been the largest independent surveillance and research program trying to identify and solve human health problems associated with wireless phones. In 1995 at the University “La Sapienza” of Rome, WTR sponsored the first comprehensive forum for the discussion of these issues. Papers from the 1995 State of the Science Colloquium were collected andpublished in Volume I ofthis series, Wireless Phones andHealth: Scienti

Overview: Presents a more advanced introduction in the field of water waves and ship hydrodynamics.State-of-the-art research.World leading experts.Includes supplementary material: In this book an introduction is given to aspects of water waves that play a role in ship hydrodynamics and offshore engineering. At first the equations and linearized boundary conditions are derived describing the non-viscous free surface water waves, with special attention to the combination of steady and non-steady flow fields. Then some simple kinds of free wave solutions are derived, such as plane waves and cylin

Overview: Die allgemein verbreitete prozessorientierte Auffassung des Weiterbildungscontrolling bedeutet eine Einengung der Perspektive, während ein koordinationsorientiertes Controllingverständnis die Betrachtung eines deutlich weiter gefassten Aufgabenspektrums ermöglicht.Auf der Basis einer fundierten Analyse des Status quo entwickelt Dirk Pieler den Ansatz eines systemorientierten Weiterbildungscontrolling. Dabei wird die bildungsspezifische Diskussion berücksichtigt, die inhaltlich und historisch wenig Gemeinsamkeiten mit der Controllingdiskussion aufweist. Der Autor zeigt, wie betrieblic

Overview: Provides a global perspective, revealing unique utilities of a novel domain.Develops readers‘ skills for the utilization in the biomedical/health industry.Describes both the evolution and envisioned f.This book provides a far-sighted perspective on the role of wearable and wireless systems for movement disorder evaluation, such as Parkinson’s disease and Essential tremor. These observations are brought together in the application of quantified feedback for deep brain stimulation systems using the wireless accelerometer and gyroscope of a smartphone to determine tuning efficacy. The p

Overview: Wavelets for Control ProblemsWhile wavelets have since their discovery mainly been applied to problems in signal analysis and image compression, their analytic power has more and more also been recognized for problems in Numerical Analysis. Together with the functional analytic framework for different differential and integral quations, one has been able to conceptu­ ally discuss questions which are relevant for the fast numerical solution of such problems: preconditioning issues, derivation of stable discretizations, compression of fully popu­ lated matrices, evaluation of non-integ

Overview: The EEC‘s heavy dependence on imported raw materials, combined with insufficient priority given to recuperative technologies, provided twin incentives to convene the European Conference on Waste Management. The conference was also held in answer to a call for a serious interna­ tional forum to enable high calibre spokesmen to express their views on a diversity of vital interests. The ambitious objective was that such a melting pot would smooth the road to cohesive policies and purposeful action, especially in the field of waste recycling. Among the speakers there were several special
