The fully updated fifth edition of this highly successful textbook provides an integrated symptom- and issue-based approach to internal medicine with easily accessible, high-yield clinical information. For each topic, carefully organized sections on different diagnoses, investigations, and treatments are designed to facilitate patient care and examination preparation. Numerous clinical pearls and comparison tables are provided to help enhance learning, and international units (US and metric) are used to facilitate application in everyday clinical practice. In addition to the central tenets of internal medicine, the book covers many highly important, rarely discussed topics in medicine, including: palliative care, obstetrical medicine, transfusion reactions, needle stick injuries, interpretation of gram stain, depression and code status discussion. This fifth edition additionally includes new coverage of the coronavirus-19 and cancer survivorship while being fully updated throughout. Authors present this information in a streamlined fashion, preserving the book's pocket-sized, quick reference format. Approach to Internal Medicine continues to serve as an essential reference primarily for medical students, residents, and fellows -- with practicing physicians, nurses, and advanced practice providers also finding the text of value as a point of care reference.

The foundational research work Der Eckhausgrundriss by the Deutsches Institut für Stadtbaukunst categorizes examples of corner building layouts from the past 200 years. With the help of these varied floor plans, it explains the principles to bear in mind when designing urban corner buildings. As such, it serves as an architectural aid in the design of corner buildings—an essential element of urban blocks—as well as clarifying the relationship between these buildings and the morphology of the city. The editors demonstrate that thoughtfully planned corner buildings, whether free-standing or attached, are required for the design of clearly defined urban spaces, as they have decisive impact on the spatial quality of the adjoining streets and squares. The third edition of this volume expands the collection of corner building floor plans with examples realized by twenty-nine architects in recent years, as well as a number of classic corner building layouts. In doing so, it further showcases the renewed importance of this type of building in contemporary architectural practice.

The first IUPAC Manual of Symbols and Terminology for Physicochemical Quantities and Units was published in 1969 with the objective of 'securing clarity and precision, and wider agreement in the use of symbols, by chemists in different countries, among physicists, chemists and engineers, and by editors of scientific journals'. Subsequent revisions have taken account of many developments in the field and were also substantially expanded and improved in presentation in several new editions of what is now widely known as the ‘Green Book of IUPAC’. This abridged version of the forthcoming 4th edition reflects the experience of the contributors and users of the previous editions. The book has been systematically brought up to date and provides a compilation of generally used terms and symbols with brief, understandable definitions and explanations. Tables of important fundamental constants and conversion factors are included. In this abridged guide, the more specialized and complex material has been omitted, retaining, however, the essence of the Green Book. It is particularly intended to be suitable for students and teachers but it should also be useful for scientists, science publishers and organizations working across a multitude of disciplines requiring internationally approved terminology in the area of Physical Chemistry. It now includes the most up to date definitions and constants in agreement with the ‘new SI’ as established by agreement on the International System of Units in Paris in 2019. It should find the widest possible acceptance and use for best practice in science and technology.

The Deutsches Institut für Stadtbaukunst argues that small, dense cities offer the best conditions for long-term functioning as eco-friendly green cities. In order to plan the necessary sustainable revegetation of urban parks, streets, and courtyards, we must first answer the overarching question of how climate protection and resilience measures can integrated into beautiful, livable cities. For over a decade, the Konferenz zur Schönheit und Lebensfähigkeit der Stadt has dedicated itself to fundamental questions in urban development. The contributions in this volume present discussions of integrated approaches to the green city from experts in both theory and practice across a range of different disciplines, as well as from the heads of various German city planning departments.

This book provides a systematic presentation of the most important commercial contracts under Swiss law, i.e., the contract of sale, the contract for work and services, the simple mandate contract, and the commercial agency contract, as well as the licence agreement, the exclusive distribution agreement, and the settlement agreement. The book also contains an in-depth introduction of the Swiss law of obligations, covering topics such as the fundamental principles of contract law, the obligation (as the effect of the contract), the formation of contracts, contract interpretation, validity of contracts, agency, general terms and conditions, and breach of contract. After English law, Swiss law is deemed to be the most attractive law applicable to the parties' contract in an international context. At the same time, English is usually chosen as the language of the arbitration proceedings. This book will therefore be an indispensable resource for all English-speaking lawyers interested in international commercial arbitration.

Recht und politische Herrschaft sind funktional ausdifferenzierte eigenlogische Systeme der neuzeitlichen Gesellschaft. In der Institution des Staates werden beide gekoppelt. Die rational entworfene Matrix für Recht und Gesellschaft ist hier als Ordnungsmodell gleichsam konstituiert. Die neuere überstaatliche Herrschaftsbildung lockert die strukturelle Kopplung und stärkt die Selbstbezüglichkeit des Rechts, führt aber nicht zur Verabschiedung souveräner Staatlichkeit. Das Recht kann sich, wenn es seine Autorität wahren will, nur begrenzt entstaatlichen. Es bindet sich an den freiheitlichen Verfassungsstaat, der den überspannenden menschenrechtlichen Achtungsanspruch erfüllt und die Unversehrtheit und Friedlichkeit seines Ordnungsraums nach innen und nach außen wahrt. Die Staatsrechtslehre sollte wieder deutlicher diese Perspektive einnehmen und die Bedingungen des funktional ausdifferenzierten Rechts in ihrem grundlegenden Sinngehalt rekonstruieren, um sie auf neue politische Referenzen in einer multipolaren und digitalen Weltordnung einzustellen. Der Beitrag Udo Di Fabios wird kommentiert, ergänzt und mit konzeptionellen Weiterführungen von Karl-Heinz Ladeur und Christoph Möllers kritisiert.
