Like management of disease, management of pain is as old as the human race. When patients come to us with their pain, they present us with a wonderful opportunity: the chance to understand them, to understand how their pain is affecting their lives, the challenge of discovering what is causing their pain, and finally the opportunity to prescribe medications and lifestyle changes to help them gain relief from their pain. It is hoped that this book will provide the latest evidence-based updates on pain management in special circumstances and will serve as a ready reference for those embarking on pain management. Its intent is not to be a heavy book that can only be stored on a bookshelf, but a pocket-sized reference that can be carried, be easily navigated, and be available whenever a conceptual gap compromises pain physicians and their ability to treat their patients.

Este libro desarrolla una discusión alrededor de las relaciones entre la producción, la circulación y la apropiación del conocimiento. Para ello se interroga por el signifi cado actual de algunos de los planteamientos que surgieron alrededor de la idea de crisis de la representación, después de trascurridos cuarenta años de su anuncio. Lo que discuten hoy las distintas vertientes de las ciencias sociales críticas es la relación entre dos tendencias: una primera que afi rma la presencia de la...

Head formation requires the well-orchestrated and harmonised development of various tissues and organs within the craniofacial complex. A big variety of signaling pathways are involved in this process by controlling cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, tissue morphogenesis, homeostasis and regeneration. Deregulation and malfunction of these signaling molecules may lead to mild or severe craniofacial pathologies. This eBook is a collection of articles dealing with a variety of important signals involved in the control of developmental and pathological events of craniofacial organs and tissues. These recent advances show the importance of signaling pathways in craniofacial physiology and pathology and generate important new knowledge aiming the development of new pharmaceutical products that mimic and/or block the actions of specific molecules.

La vie marque et laisse des empreintes indélébiles. Écrire la vie, c’est sauver de l’effacement et restituer une histoire individuelle ou collective à la croisée de la réalité et de la fiction. Afin que l’histoire restituée soit vraie, l’écriture doit rendre la vie telle qu’elle a été. Sans la métaphoriser. Cet essai témoigne d’une écrivaine et de sa création littéraire qui s’instaure selon la logique de la recherche, de la préservation et de la restitution des traces matérielles et des empreintes affectives. La trace et l’empreinte mettent en dialogue la mémoire, la perte, le souvenir, le temps vécu, le corps, l’identité narrative et le don. Comme l’écrit Tiphaine Samoyault : « Ce livre témoigne d’une rencontre entre une écrivaine et sa lectrice, celle-ci transmettant à son tour, dans un livre très riche, la persistance du cercle du don, par-delà les frontières, les âges et les langues. Le contre-don de la lecture répond à la très belle confiance que lui a faite Annie Ernaux en la rencontrant, en correspondant avec elle et en l’autorisant à consulter ses manuscrits. »

L’islam offre deux visages : celui d’un monothéisme abstrait, où domine la transcendance de Dieu, au risque d’engendrer le fanatisme. Mais aussi, et surtout, celui, plus discret, mais non moins insistant, d’un monothéisme concret, qui valorise la manifestation visible de l’essence de Dieu dans l’apparition sensible des actions divines. Dans cette étude pionnière qui surprendra par sa liberté de ton, Souâd Ayada renouvelle en profondeur notre connaissance des systèmes de pensée qui ont fondé l’islam des théophanies. Un modèle de sagesse aux antipodes de l’austérité coranique, selon lequel Dieu se donne à voir par l’entremise de l’« homme parfait » et par toutes les formes de beauté qui révèlent sa majesté. Réconciliant l’amour, l’intelligence et la connaissance, cette conception de la révélation, notamment portée par le soufisme, préserve l’islam de toute dérive juridique et politique, et accorde à l’art toute sa place. Elle constitue l’antidote que l’islam a lui-même produit pour guérir le mal du dogmatisme et l’intolérance. Dévoilant les impasses et les contradictions du fondamentalisme, dialoguant avec les sources juives et chrétiennes, confrontant le message du soufisme à la philosophie de Hegel ou à la pensée d’Emmanuel Levinas, Souâd Ayada signe un livre essentiel, en forme de plaidoyer pour une approche audacieuse, exigeante et ouverte de l’islam.

In dem vorliegenden Band wird in zwei auch inhaltlich verknüpften Beiträgen das Problem der Quantifizierungen im medizinischen Fachwortschatz untersucht: 1) S. 7ff.: Quantifizierungen im medizinischen Fachwortschätz. Probleme der Konfrontation und Translation (Russisch, Polnisch, Lateinisch, Deutsch); 2) S. 71ff.: Die Realisierungstypen der Quantifizierungen im serbokroatischen und bulgarischen medizinischen Fachwortschatz. Die Zielsetzung der beiden Beiträge ist trotz ihrer thematischen Übereinstimmung nicht genau identisch: während der erste Beitrag die theoretischen Voraussetzungen in die Diskussion mit einbezieht und die Frage der Translation dem Strukturtypenvergleich anschließt, ist das Ziel des zweiten Beitrages die deskriptive Erfassung aller Strukturtypen, die im Serbokroatischen und Bulgarischen zur Realisierung der Quantifizierungen bestehen.

Media depictions of Arabs and Muslims continue to be framed by images of camels, belly dancers, and dagger-wearing terrorists. But do only Hollywood movies and TV news have the power to frame public discourse? This interdisciplinary study transfers media framing theory to literary studies to show how life writing (re-)frames Orientalist stereotypes. The innovative analysis of the post-9/11 autobiographies 'West of Kabul, East of New York', 'Letters from Cairo', and 'Howling in Mesopotamia' makes a powerful claim to approach literature based on a theory of production and reception, thus enhancing the multi-disciplinary potential of framing theory.

This book is a first exploratory inquiry into possible educational selectivity effects of the European Social Fund (ESF). It assesses the extent of the gap between the social policy objectives set through regulatory competences in multi-level governance and the structure of incentives it breeds in practice, with a broad range of implications for the capacity of the government to control for an equitable distribution of services at the community level. The chapters emphasize the educational selectivity involved in national policy decisions concerning ESF implementation in the five countries, the role of informal mechanisms in fine-tuning implementation, the negative effects of formalization and failures in accommodating the complexity of goals which characterizes the ESF, as well as the overall fairness of ESF implementation towards the most disadvantaged groups in society. The empirical analysis suggests that social-service delivery contracting as an instrument of governance is no longer regulating against risks for beneficiaries, but fuels increased social division in access to public services.

Transfer zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis kommt in komplexen Gesellschaften, die sich zunehmend auf Wissen stützen, ein besonderer Stellenwert zu. Dies greift der Band auf, indem unterschiedliche Auseinandersetzungen versammelt werden, die sich Transfer spezifisch aus den Feldern von Pädagogik und Erziehungswissenschaft widmen. Sie geben Einblicke in theoretische, empirische und praktische Verhältnisbestimmungen zwischen Forschung, Theorie, Handeln und Praxis.

"Fact and Fiction explores the intersection between literature and the sciences, focusing on German and British culture between the eighteenth century and today. Observing that it was in the eighteenth century that the divide between science and literature as disciplines first began to be defined, the contributors to this collection probe how authors from that time onwards have assessed and affected the relationship between literary and scientific cultures. Fact and Fiction’s twelve essays cover a wide range of scientific disciplines, from physics and chemistry to medicine and anthropology, and a variety of literary texts, such as Erasmus Darwin’s poem The Botanic Garden, George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda, and Goethe’s Elective Affinities. The collection will appeal to scholars of literature and of the history of science, and to those interested in the connections between the two."
