The whole world knows the face of the young man with the bright black eyes. He is in the process of becoming an icon, a symbol, similar to the famous photo of Che Guevara. The face is that of Raif Badawi, who was nominated for the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize. Arrested in Saudi Arabia, he was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment and 1000 lashes - a de facto death sentence. The woman who succeeded in getting such people as Barack Obama and Prince Charles to appeal personally to the Saudi King for Badawi's release is his wife, Ensaf Haidar, who began the campaign to free her husband with a self-painted poster in front of a small church in Sherbrooke, Canada. When Raif Badawi and Ensaf Haidar fell in love with each other as adolescents, they did so in violation of every moral precept in the strictly Islamic Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. During their clandestine love affair, the young couple had no idea that, more than a decade later, Ensaf's love for Raif would attract the attention of politicians from around the world as the blogger's wife now mobilises global public opinion in an effort to save her husband from murder at the hands of the Saudi judiciary. With a courage born of desperation, she is fighting from exile in Canada to secure the release of the father of her three children, and is bringing great pressure to bear on the murderous regime in her native country. Ensaf Haidar tells Raif's and her own story: the story of their shared liberal ideas and her fight for her husband's release.

Laura C. Hoffmann und Hans-R. Hartweg stellen auf Basis der Regelwerke ausgesuchter europäischer Nationen Vergleiche an, wie dort zum Schutz von Patientinnen und Patienten agiert wird. Nachdem in Deutschland das Patientenrechtegesetz verabschiedet wurde, das im Wesentlichen Patienten-Ansprüche in einer Rechtsgrundlage zusammenführt, ist eine Diskussion entbrannt, ob dieses Gesetz nicht eventuell zu kurz greift. Es kann dabei sinnvoll sein, den Blick auch über internationale Regeln schweifen zu lassen und einen Fokus auf Systeme zu legen, die auf historische oder institutionelle Entwicklungsverläufe schauen, die dem deutschen Gesundheitssystem ähneln. In einigen Nachbarstaaten sind entsprechende Patientenansprüche bereits tief verwurzelt und die Bürgerinnen und Bürger schauen auf eine lange Tradition entsprechender Regelwerke zurück.

A look at important new tools and algorithms for future product modeling systems, based on a seminar at the International Conference and Research Center for Computer Science, Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, presented by internationally recognised experts in CAD technology.

Systems to support the continuously shrinking product development cycles and the increasing quality requirements need significant enhancements and new approaches.
In this book important new tools and algorithms for future product modeling systems are presented. It is based on a seminar at the International Conference and Research Center for Computer Science, Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, presented by internationally recognised experts in CAD technology."

When Patience Ibrahim's husband died, she feared that her life was over. She had prayed every night for a baby to complete her family, and suddenly she found herself a nineteen-year-old widow, alone in the world.

Believed to be a publishing first when originally brought out, this book covers all aspects of centrifugal gas cleaning devices. These are cyclones used as gas-solid separators for dedusting and as gas-liquid separators for demisting. The optimization of cyclone performance for any given task is a sought-after goal - but it is one that is seldom achieved in practice. This second edition will help mechanical and chemical engineers to achieve this optimization.

This definitive environmental history of medieval fish and fisheries provides a comprehensive examination of European engagement with aquatic systems between c. 500 and 1500 CE. Using textual, zooarchaeological, and natural records, Richard C. Hoffmann's unique study spans marine and freshwater fisheries across western Christendom, discusses effects of human-nature relations and presents a deeper understanding of evolving European aquatic ecosystems. Changing climates, landscapes, and fishing pressures affected local stocks enough to shift values of fish, fishing rights, and dietary expectations. Readers learn what the abbess Waldetrudis in seventh-century Hainault, King Ramiro II (d.1157) of Aragon, and thirteenth-century physician Aldebrandin of Siena shared with English antiquarian William Worcester (d. 1482), and the young Martin Luther growing up in Germany soon thereafter. Sturgeon and herring, carp, cod, and tuna played distinctive roles. Hoffmann highlights how encounters between medieval Europeans and fish had consequences for society and the environment - then and now.

Our world as it once was In August 2014, Farida was, like any ordinary teenager, enjoying the last days of summer before her final year at school. However, her peaceful mountain village in northern Iraq was an ISIS target as their genocide against the Yazidi people began. The catastrophe ISIS murdered the men and boys in the village, including Farida's father and brother, and took the women hostage. Farida was one of them. She was held in a slave camp, in the homes of ISIS members and finally in a desert training camp. Continually she struggled, resisted and fought against her captors, showing unimaginable strength and bravery. This is my story Eventually, Farida managed to plot her escape and fled into the desert with five young girls in her care, but defeating ISIS was just the first step in her journey. In this book she tells her remarkable and inspiring story.

Projects are traditionally seen as temporary organisations designed for unique tasks, often in contrast to the mass-producing core activities of organisations. Projects are used by the engineers as tools for solving almost any type of problem. In this book, the authors present current research in the study of practices, challenges and developments within project management. Topics discussed in this compilation include lessons learned in the role of the co-ordinator in the development of it projects; the stakeholder challenge, based on a project management of collaborative research; project management applied to lithic analysis; sustainable management team as a key element in success of project management; and the impact of project schedule adherence and rework on the duration forecast accuracy of earned value metrics.
