There are many possible causes of pelvic pain in a non-pregnant
female patient, and it has been estimated to be responsible for
nearly 40% of all visits by female patients to a family doctor and
10% of all referrals to specialist gynecologists. However, the
topic of how to investigate and diagnose has been surprisingly
neglected in print. This important and much-needed text from
internationally respected experts shows how important ultrasound
can be as a tool for physicians caring for women's health.

This book shares the learnings and perspectives of two pioneer
women who waded the many challenges posed by multiculturalism and
gender in one of the corporate environments more rigid and
traditional in the business world: the energy sector in the Middle
East. How they managed to create a growth space for themselves and
their teams is a story of professional and personal tenacity,
shaping a privileged perspective that enabled them to understand
the root causes of barriers, as well as envision plausible
solutions. They propose in the book not only their vision, but a
remarkable collection of unfiltered interviews to influential
leaders in the energy sector, to complete a vision of what is key
to achieve success when leading or consulting in a corporate
environment. The book offers a compilation of very personal
approaches to professionalism, resilience, work, and ultimately,
success, from within and outside the ranks of highly regarded
corporations in the energy sector. The ultimate aim is that of
triggering a self-reflection in the readers, grounded on the
learnings and perspectives of those who made it to the highest
roles of one of the less understood business environments.
In the era of globalisation, cross-border crimes are becoming
increasingly common. The nature of these crimes is complex, and
cross-border evidence exchange is, therefore, crucial to the
successful prosecution of these offences. The exchange of evidence
between countries can provide invaluable assistance in solving
crimes that have an international dimension. The European
Investigation Order (EIO) allows judicial authorities to request
evidence more quickly and easily than via traditional instruments.
The EIO has become the primary legal tool for gathering
trans-border evidence, replacing the traditional Mutual Legal
Assistance (MLA) conventions previously used. However, the EIO is
not the only pertinent legal instrument for cross-border evidence
gathering within the EU. Accordingly, professionals need a clear
understanding of this subject. Exchanging evidence among judicial
authorities in the EU Member States presupposes two essential
components. First, there must be a secure communication channel.
This is provided by e-CODEX, which offers a European digital
infrastructure for secure cross-border communication in the field
of justice. Recently (May 30th, 2022), the e-CODEX system became
the digital backbone of EU judicial cooperation in civil and
criminal matters on the basis of Regulation 2022/850. To achieve
effective evidence exchange via EIO/MLA legal instruments, there
must also be a communication tool. This is provided by the
e-Evidence Digital Exchange System, which is capable of managing
any EIO/MLA procedures/instruments, from the e-Forms (EIO Annexes)
to the whole business logic, on the basis of the e-CODEX system.
Finally, it is essential to use a uniform standard for the
representation of evidence data and metadata, so as to streamline
the process and make investigations more effective, in particular
when it comes to complicated criminal cases where it is key to find
either correlations among different cases or to extract multiple
types of data from the same inspection. The importance of
cross-border evidence exchange in criminal matters cannot be
overstated. This book addresses all the above-mentioned aspects,
offering an up-to-date overview of scenarios in cross-border
judicial cooperation from both juridical and technical standpoints.
This book is a compilation of very personal approaches to mentoring
and sponsoring, breaking the stereotypes of seniority, age or
experience. The authors have provided a platform to understand that
mentoring and especially sponsoring are in fact a win-win relation,
in which both sides, mentors and mentees; and sponsors and
sponsored individuals learn from each other, enhancing their career
paths. How they managed to create a growth space for themselves and
their teams through mentoring and sponsoring, is a story of
professional leadership. They shared a privileged outlook to
understand the root causes of barriers, as well as to envision
plausible solutions for difficult career crossroads, in which
mentorship or sponsoring was key to steer step changes. The authors
propose not only their vision, but a remarkable collection of
unfiltered interviews with young and renown professionals in many
sectors, from photography to music, research, sports, energy, and
more, completing a vision of what is key for both sides of the
equation pertinent to mentoring and sponsoring: the givers and the
receivers. They explain what is needed to gain the most out of the
mentoring and sponsoring loops, with their own career stories.
Success is supported by many factors, in which the most important
are the technical competency and performance aligned with
resilience. However, in the long path of a career, mentors and
particularly sponsors play a foundational and frequently a
changing-life role, improving our perspective or triggering
reflections and actions that benefitted our journeys at work and in
life. This book provides insights on what works for an effective
mentoring and sponsoring process. It is useful for all
professionals, especially those starting their career journeys.
This volume offers a general overview on the handling and
regulating electronic evidence in Europe, presenting a standard for
the exchange process. Chapters explore the nature of electronic
evidence and readers will learn of the challenges involved in
upholding the necessary standards and maintaining the integrity of
information. Challenges particularly occur when European Union
member states collaborate and evidence is exchanged, as may be the
case when solving a cybercrime. One such challenge is that the
variety of possible evidences is so wide that potentially anything
may become the evidence of a crime. Moreover, the introduction and
the extensive use of information and communications technology
(ICT) has generated new forms of crimes or new ways of perpetrating
them, as well as a new type of evidence. Contributing authors
examine the legal framework in place in various EU member states
when dealing with electronic evidence, with prominence given to
data protection and privacy issues. Readers may learn about the
state of the art tools and standards utilized for treating and
exchanging evidence, and existing platforms and environments run by
different Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) at local and central
level. Readers will also discover the operational point of view of
LEAs when dealing with electronic evidence, and their requirements
and expectations for the future. Finally, readers may consider a
proposal for realizing a unique legal framework for governing in a
uniform and aligned way the treatment and cross border exchange of
electronic evidence in Europe. The use, collection and exchange of
electronic evidence in the European Union context and the rules,
practises, operational guidelines, standards and tools utilized by
LEAs, judges, Public prosecutors and other relevant stakeholders
are all covered in this comprehensive work. It will appeal to
researchers in both law and computer science, as well as those with
an interest in privacy, digital forensics, electronic evidence,
legal frameworks and law enforcement.
This thesis describes the fabrication of
metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures using very high
permittivity dielectrics (based on rare earths) grown by
high-pressure sputtering from metallic targets. It demonstrates the
possibility of depositing high permittivity materials (GdScO3) by
means of high pressure sputtering from metallic targets using in
situ plasma oxidation on Si and indium phosphate (InP) substrates.
The advantage of this system is the high working pressure, which
causes the particles to undergo multiple collisions and become
thermalized before reaching the substrate in a pure diffusion
process, thus protecting the semiconductor surface from damage.
This work presents a unique fabrication using metallic targets and
involving a two-step deposition process: a thin metallic film is
sputtered in an Ar atmosphere and this film is then plasma oxidized
in situ. It also demonstrates the fabrication of GdScO3 on Si with
a permittivity value above 30 from metallic Gd and Sc targets.
Since co-sputtering was not possible, a nanolaminate of these
materials was deposited and annealed. The electrical properties of
these devices show that the material is highly interesting from a
microelectronic integration standpoint.

This book addresses the role of domestic courts in the enforcement
of international trade agreements by examining the experiences of
Brazilian and the European Union courts. This comparative study
analyzes the differences, similarities and consequences of
Brazilian and European courts’ decisions in relation to the WTO
agreements, which have “direct effect†in Latin American
emerging economies, but not in the European Union or other
developed countries. It observes that domestic courts’
enforcement of international trade agreements has had several
unintended and counterproductive consequences, which were
foreseeable in light of international scholarly debate on the
direct effect of WTO agreements. It draws lessons from these
jurisdictions’ experiences and argues that the traditional
academic literature that fosters domestic courts’ enforcement of
international law should be reconsidered in Latin America in
relation to international trade agreements. This book defends the
view that, as a result of their function and objectives together
with the principles of popular sovereignty and democratic
self-government, international trade agreements should not be
considered to be self-executing or to have direct effect. This
empirical work will be valuable to anyone interested in the effects
of international trade rules at the domestic level and the role of
domestic judges in international law.
