R2,243 Discovery Miles 22 430 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Lehrkrafte setzen Hunde im Unterricht ein, um die soziale Inklusion zu foerdern. Doch welchen Einfluss hat tiergestutzte Padagogik auf die sozialen Strukturen in Schulklassen? Wie lassen sich diese Einflusse erklaren und welche Schlussfolgerungen koennen fur die Foerderung von sozialer Inklusion abgeleitet werden? Diese Fragen werden mit einer der ersten empirischen Erhebungen zu Auswirkungen tiergestutzter Padagogik auf die soziale Partizipation von Schuler*innen beantwortet. Der Einfluss von Schulhunden wird gezielt hinsichtlich des Wohlbefindens, der Arbeitsatmosphare und sozialer Beziehungen zwischen den Lernenden, aber auch zwischen Klasse und Lehrkraft erhoben. Die Analyse der Ergebnisse zeigt: Mithilfe von tiergestutzter Padagogik werden soziale Strukturen positiv beeinflusst und Teilhabemoeglichkeiten geschaffen. Vor dem Hintergrund padagogischer und soziologischer Theorien werden die Ergebnisse interpretiert und erklart. Leser*innen erhalten praktische Hinweise fur die Foerderung sozialer und emotionaler Entwicklung von Kindern und Jugendlichen sowie fur die Vermittlung inklusiver Werte und die Beziehungsgestaltung.

Organized by body system, the new edition of this highly illustrated textbook covers the normal histological appearance of tissues in a wide range of animals, both domestic and exotic species, with relevant clinical correlates emphasizing the need to appreciate the normal in order to recognize the abnormal. In this update by two experienced veterinary pathologists and histology lecturers, new species, such as other companion mammals, aquatic species and livestock, are introduced into each chapter along with a wealth of new high-quality images. A new chapter covers epitehlial tissue and new techniques used in histology and histopathology are discussed throughout, including ISH and digital image analysis. Pathogenesis explanation is introduced in the current (and many new) cases of histopathology. The breadth of coverage-farm animals, dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish-and the integration of normal and abnormal tissue provide a reference of lasting value to veterinary students as well as veterinary practitioners and pathologists needing a quick refresher.

The Animal Trade - Evolution, Ethics and Implications (Hardcover): Clive Phillips The Animal Trade - Evolution, Ethics and Implications (Hardcover)
Clive Phillips
R2,773 Discovery Miles 27 730 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Trade is an inevitable part of human activity and evolution, but when it involves animals there are important ethical issues that have to be considered. Animal trade is often for economic reasons only, and may be hard to justify ethically. There are significant welfare and environmental costs to animals and human society that must be carefully evaluated before such a trade is sanctioned. Controversial and thought-provoking, this text focuses on the trade in live and dead animals and animal parts. It examines the facts and figures to quantify the scope of the animal trade, concentrating mainly on farm animals, but also covering captive wildlife and companion animals. The book describes welfare, environmental, economic and cultural issues around this trade, debating important ethical considerations for everyone that uses or is otherwise involved with animals, especially people in animal welfare.

R2,873 Discovery Miles 28 730 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book focuses on multiculturalism, racism and the interests of nonhuman animals. Each are, in their own right, rapidly growing and controversial fields of enquiry, but how do multiculturalism and racism intersect with the debate concerning animals and their interests? This a deceptively simple question but on that is becoming ever more pressing as we examine our societal practices in a pluralistic world. Collating the work of a diverse group of academics from across the world, the book includes writing on a wide range of subjects and addressing contemporary issues in this critical arena. Subjects covered include multiculturalism, group rights and the limits of tolerance; ethnocentrism and animals; racism and discrimination and non-Western alternatives to animal rights and welfare. The book will be of interest to researchers, lecturers and advanced students as well as range of social justice organisations, government institutions, animal activist organisations and environmental groups.

Rabies in the Streets - Interspecies Camaraderie in Urban India (Hardcover): Deborah Nadal Rabies in the Streets - Interspecies Camaraderie in Urban India (Hardcover)
Deborah Nadal
R2,541 Discovery Miles 25 410 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Found in two-thirds of the world, rabies is a devastating infectious disease with a 99.9 percent case-fatality rate and no cure once clinical signs appear. Rabies in the Streets tells the compelling story of the relationship between people, street animals, and rabies in India, where one-third of human rabies deaths occur. Deborah Nadal argues that only a One Health approach of "interspecies camaraderie" can save people and animals from the horrors of rabies and almost certain death. Grounded in multispecies ethnography, this book leads the reader through the streets and slums of Delhi and Jaipur, where people and animals, such as dogs, cows, and macaques, interact intimately and sometimes violently. Nadal explores the intricate web of factors that bring humans and animals into contact with one another within these urban spaces and create favorable pathways for the transmission of the rabies virus across species. This book shows how rabies is endemic in India for reasons that are as much social, cultural, and political as they are biological, ranging from inadequate sanitation to religious customs, from vaccine shortages to reliance on traditional medicine. The continuous emergence (and reemergence) of infectious diseases despite technical medical progress is a growing concern of our times and clearly questions the way we think of animal and environmental health. This original account of rabies challenges conventional approaches of separation and extermination, arguing instead that a One Health approach is our best chance at fostering mutual survival in a world increasingly overpopulated by humans, animals, and deadly pathogens.

Im Vergleich zum Humansport ist der tierische Athlet im Reitsport als gleichberechtigter Sportpartner den kunstlichen Leistungssteigerungen ohne Mitspracherecht ausgesetzt. In Anbetracht der erheblichen Zunahme von Dopingfallen im nationalen und internationalen Reitsport mussten sich die Pferdesportverbande unter Berucksichtigung des World-Anti-Doping Codes materiell- und verfahrensrechtlich neu positionieren. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es zu beleuchten, inwieweit die Regeln des WADA- und NADA-Codes, die in erster Linie fur den Humansport konzipiert wurden und fur den Pferdeport nur rudimentare Regelungen enthalten, durch den nationalen und internationalen Pferdesportverband unter Beachtung des jeweils geltenden Rechts umsetzbar sind und inwieweit langen sowie kostenintensiven Dopingverfahren vor den staatlichen Gerichten zugunsten der Sportgerichtsbarkeit ein Ende gesetzt werden kann. Vor diesem Hintergrund gilt es einen internationalen Entscheidungseinklang in der sportrechtlichen Anti-Doping Rechtsprechung mithilfe der Sportschiedsgerichtsbarkeit weiter zu fordern und zu foerdern.

Every year billions of animals, from housecats to racehorses to pythons, are treated by veterinarians. The use of veterinary science to treat the health of animals has a long history; for the past five centuries it has developed as our understanding of animals' fundamental biology, pathology, and pharmacology has grown. Rapid global changes expected in the twenty-first century will require the profession to respond proactively, embracing new challenges and opportunities. James Yeates, Chief Veterinary Officer of the RSPCA, introduces the field of veterinary science, covering the history of its scientific and clinical aspects from early practices to recent challenges such as the outbreak of BSE and antibiotic resistance, and considering the differences between human medicine and veterinary medicine. Analysing the key roles played by diagnosis, treatment, and prevention with regard to the health of farm animals and pets, he relates this to wider aspects concerning public health, such as zoonoses (diseases that jump from animals to humans). Yeates also covers recent 'One Health' approaches involving the health of both humans and animals, seen as synergistic, and discusses the challenges for the future of veterinary medicine, including the ethical dilemmas in balancing the interests of owners and animals when they do not coincide. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

DNA Methods in Clinical Microbiology describes the novel DNA-based technology now used in the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases. It is a concise, yet readable, overview written primarily for clinicians, clinical microbiologists, medical students and undergraduates in medical and veterinary microbiology. The book has two primary aims. First, to explain the principles of these methods at the molecular' level. Second, to provide a clinical perspective by reporting results from actual DNA-based investigations on a range of specimens. Those approaching DNA methods for the first time are assisted by a brief resume of the relevant features of nucleic acids (Chapter 2): this information is essential for an understanding of later chapters. Subsequent text covers detection, characterization and quantification of pathogens by a variety of methods - e.g., target amplification (PCR, LCR, NASBA, TMA and SDA), signal amplification (bDNA) and probe-based techniques; the chapter on typing describes nearly twenty named molecular methods, including spoligotyping and MLST. All chapters include an adequate range of current reference from which, if required, detailed protocols can be obtained. The diagrams are clear, and readers are assisted by a detailed index."
