In this book body experience is seen as the subjective expression
of psyche and soma and is discussed in relation to its significance
in modern medical practice and psychoanalysis. The authors relate
how the patient's subjective expression of his or her body
frequently plays only a marginal role in current therapy and how
the central factor of many diseases is consequently missed.
Particularly in the growing field of psychoanalytic psychosomatic
medicine it will be necessary to pay the issue of body experience
more attention. These theoretical and empirical contributions on
body experience were specially prepared for the volume. Initial
chapters cover a variety of aspects of body experience and its
general significance in medicine and psychoanalysis. Following
chapters consider body-oriented forms of therapy, sex-related
aspects of body experience and the empirical measurement of body
experience and bodily complaints.
This book has been written for radiologists, ophthalmologists,
neurologists, neurosur geons, plastic surgeons, and others
interested in the evaluation of disorders with ophthalmologic signs
and symptoms. It is designed to provide recent knowledge in this
area derived from ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In the past decade, the advent of
ultrasonography, computed tomography, and more recently magnetic
resonance imaging has provided diagnostic images of the eye, orbit,
and brain in a fashion that had been a dream of many prior to the
develop ment of these techniques. These newer modes of diagnosis
have replaced some previous techniques, such as nuclear medicine
imaging and, to some degree, vascular studies and orbitography.
There are three sections to this book. The first section is a
discussion of the imaging techniques. The second is devoted to the
role of these imaging methods in the evaluation of ophthalmic
disorders. The last section, dealing with radiotherapy for
ophthalmologic tumors, is included because the current imaging
techniques are needed for treatment planning. We wish to thank the
many people who have assisted us in preparing this manuscript.
Among these are many librarians, secretaries, trainees, and
photographers. Weare especially indebted to artist Peter Clark for
his illustrations and to Mr. Martin Leibo vici, Associate Curator
of New York University Medical School and Director of Health
Sciences Library of Goldwater Memorial Hospital, New York City.
Also, we wish to thank our families for their help and patience."
The contributors to this volume, like many others concerned with
medical education have for a long whilebeen conscious of the fact
that in the training of medical students and in the practice of
medicine too little attention is being paid to the psychological
aspects of illness and to the use of psychotherapy in patient care.
In an attempt to fill this gap medical students at University
College Hospital, London, have since 1958 been given the
opportunity on a voluntary basis to treat a pa tient with weekly
analytically-orientated psychotherapy under supervision for a year
or longer. In 1977 a similar scheme was started at the
Psychosomatic Clinic of Heidel berg University. We were fortunate
in obtaining generous financial support from the European Community
which has enabled teachers and students from our two uni versities
in Great Britain and the Federal Republic of Germany to collaborate
in this student-psychotherapy teaching project and to compare our
experiences. In this book we present an account of this joint
educational endeavour, including our successes and our failures, as
well as our attempts to solve some of the problems we have en
countered. We decided to let individual supervisors and teachers
who inevitably differed in their approach write their own
contributions rather than try to present a unified pic ture which
would not have given a fair impression of our work and experience.
Ifthis has led to some repetition in the text we hope readers will
appreciate the reason for it."
Fear of God and the Beginning of Wisdom The School of Nisibis and
the Development of Scholastic Culture in Late Antique Mesopotamia
Adam H. Becker "Adam Becker brings together work in two different
linguistic areas, Syriac and Greek, which are usually conducted
separately. Since the period dealt with is a time of transition
from the ancient to Medieval world, one of immense significance for
the subsequent history of both the Middle East and Europe, it is
particularly helpful to have a book that shows how these two
geographical worlds were intimately linked from a cultural point of
view prior to the political separation brought about by the Arab
conquests in the seventh century."--Sebastian Brock, Oxford
University The School of Nisibis was the main intellectual center
of the Church of the East in the sixth and early seventh centuries
C.E. and an institution of learning unprecedented in antiquity.
"Fear of God and the Beginning of Wisdom" provides a history both
of the School and of the scholastic culture of the Church of the
East more generally in the late antique and early Islamic periods.
Adam H. Becker examines the ideological and intellectual
backgrounds of the school movement and reassesses the evidence for
the supposed predecessor of the School of Nisibis, the famed School
of the Persians of Edessa. Furthermore, he argues that the
East-Syrian ("Nestorian") school movement is better understood as
an integral and at times contested part of the broader spectrum of
East-Syrian monasticism. Becker examines the East-Syrian culture of
ritualized learning, which flourished at the same time and in the
same place as the famed Babylonian Rabbinic academies. Jews and
Christians in Mesopotamia developed similar institutions aimed at
inculcating an identity in young males that defined them as beings
endowed by their creator with the capacity to study. The
East-Syrian schools are the most significant contemporary
intellectual institutions immediately comparable to the Rabbinic
academies, even as they served as the conduit for the transmission
of Greek philosophical texts and ideas to Muslims in the early
'Abbasid period. Adam H. Becker teaches classics and religious
studies at New York University. He is coeditor, with Annette
Yoshiko Reed, of "The Ways that Never Parted: Jews and Christians
from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages." Divinations:

Nachhaltige Lebensmittel, nachhaltige Textilien, nachhaltiger
Konsum - immer mehr Unternehmen orientieren sich am Trend und den
Grundsatzen der nachhaltigen Entwicklung. Damit bedienen sie nicht
nur einen wachsenden Markt, sondern schonen gleichzeitig naturliche
Ressourcen und senken so ihre Produktionskosten. Das Praxishandbuch
zeigt Unternehmen, wie sie ihre Produktion und ihr Marketing
langfristig auf nachhaltige Methoden und Techniken umstellen
koennen. Dabei folgen die Autoren dem Green Marketing. Dieser
Ansatz geht auf das steigende Umweltbewusstsein der Kunden ein und
hilft so Unternehmen, die eigene Marktposition mithilfe
nachhaltiger Produkte zu starken. Die Autoren richten sich damit an
mittelstandische Unternehmen sowie Entscheider und Fuhrungskrafte
in groesseren Unternehmen, die wissen moechten, wie sie mit
umweltbewusster Produktentwicklung neue Markte erschliessen und
ihre Wettbewerbsfahigkeit steigern koennen. Das Buch ist in vier
Themenbloecke zusammengefasst. Dabei geht es sowohl um
grundsatzliche Fragen, als auch praktische Fragen: Welche Faktoren
begunstigen die Entwicklung nachhaltiger Produkte? Was sind die
betrieblichen und rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen? Was sind die
Phasen der nachhaltigen Produktentwicklung? Und wie koennen
Unternehmen umweltfreundliche Produkte am besten vermarkten?
innerhalb der Stadte und Ballungsgebiete erforderlich werdenden
unterirdischen Verkehrs- wege machen haufig die Anwendung
besonderer Baumethoden und dementsprechend den Einsatz spezieller
Maschinen notwendig. Die Entwicklung der Mechanisierung auf diesem
Teilgebiet des Bauwesens reicht nun auch schon einige Jahrzehnte
zuriick. Sowohl die Methoden als auch die Maschinen sind zunachst
aus anderen Gebieten, wie z. B. dem Untertagebau oder dem Grundbau,
iibernommen worden, bevor sie fiir die speziellen Belange des
unterirdischen Stadtebaus weiterentwickelt wurden. An dieser Stelle
sind insbesondere der Bau von U-Bahnen [H 26] und von StraBen-
tunneln zu nennen, die im Hinblick auf den baubetrieblichen Ablauf
oft sehr ahnlich sind. Wo es die ortlichen Verhaltnisse zulassen,
wird auch heute noch in del' offenen Bauweise gearbeitet, die schon
in den ersten Jahrzehnten dieses Jahrhunderts beim U-Bahn-Bau
angewandt und seitdem in verschiedener Hinsicht weiterentwiekelt
worden ist. Um den Oberflachenverkehr moglichst nur kurzzeitig zu
unterbrechen, werden bei Anwendung dieser Bauweise die Baugruben
nach ihrer Fertigstellung mit Hilfe verschiedener Verbau- method en
durch entsprechend tragfahige Konstruktionen abgedeekt, so daB der
StraBen- verkehr wahrend der Ausfiihrung der Bauarbeiten - in der
Regel nur geringfiigig be- hindert - iiber die Baugruben hinweg
flieBen kann. Dieses Verfahren ist jedoch nur im Zuge breiter
StraBen anwendbar, wogegen beim Unterfahren von eng bebauten Stadt-
gebieten gesehlossene Bauweisen angewandt werden, von denen sich im
Laufe der letzten drei Jahrzehnte der Schildvortrieb als besonders
giinstig erwiesen hat.

So alt wie die analytisch gepragte Psychotherapie istder Wunsch,
sie nicht allein im Rahmen der klassischen Psychoanalyse, sondern
auch in der allgemeinarztlichen Praxis zu verwirklichen. In
Deutschland waren es Viktor von Weizsacker und Alex- ander
Mitscherlich, in England Michael Balint, die sich dafur einsetzten,
Psycho- therapie zu einem integrierten Element arztlichen Tuns
uberhaupt werden zu lassen. Die spezialisierte Psychotherapie hat
sich in Instituten und Fachkrankenhausem in in den letzten
Jahrzehnten zu einem machtigen Bauwerk mit vielen Etagen und An-
bauten entwickelt. In der arztlichen Praxis ist die Psychotherapie
jedoch unterent- wickelt geblieben. Die psychologische Perspektive
gerat in der Krankengeschichte wie auch in der
Arzt-Patient-Beziehung immer mehr in eine Randstellung. Mit be-
rechtigter Kritik hat man von der modernen Medizin als
einersprachlosen Medizin gesprochen. Die publizistisch oft
beschworene Nutzung der Arzt-Patient-Bezie- hung und einer
Integration der Psychotherapie in die Medizin ist vorerst
jedenfalls noch eine Utopie, kein verwirklichtes Konzept. Die
Verfasser dieses Buches sehen diese Entwicklung mit Sorge und
mochten ihr entgegentreten. Seit 1958 versucht man im University
College Hospital (UCH) London, diese Lucke auszufullen und
Medizinstudenten praktische psychothera- peutische Fahigkeiten zu
vermitteln. Seit 1977 macht die Psychosomatische Klinik der
Universitat Heidelberg ein ahnliches Unterrichtsangebot. Von diesen
Versu- chen und Erfahrungen wird hier berichtet (Kap. 1und 2). Ein
Erfahrungsaustausch von Studenten und Hochschullehrern der beiden
Universitaten und eine sehr fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit wurde durch
die Unterstiitzung der Europaischen Ge- meinschaft von 1977 bis
1982 moglich, In Kap.

The advent of DNA typing and its use for human identity testing has
revolutionized law enforcement investigations in recent years by
allowing forensic laboratories to match suspects with minuscule
amounts of biological evidence from a crime scene. Equally
important is the use of DNA to exclude suspects who were not
involved in a crime or to identify human remains in an accident.
The past decade has seen numerous advances in the DNA testing
procedures, most notably among them the development of PCR
(polymerase chain reaction)-based DNA typing methods. Technologies
for measuring DNA variations, both length and sequence
polymorphisms, have also advanced rapidly in the past decade. The
time needed to determine a sample's DNA profile has dropped from
6-8 weeks to 1-2 days, and with more recent advancements, the time
needed to process samples may decrease to as little as a few hours,
maybe even a few minutes. Simultaneous with the evolution of DNA
markers and technologies embraced by the forensic community has
been the acceptance and use of DNA typing information. All 50
States now have laws requiring DNA typing of convicted offenders,
typically for violent crimes such as rape or homicide. While the
law enforcement community is gearing up to gather millions of DNA
samples from convicted felons, the DNA typing technology needs
improvement. Large backlogs of samples exist today due to the high
cost of performing the DNA testing and limited capabilities in
forensic laboratories. A need exists for more rapid and
cost-effective methods for high-throughput DNA analysis to process
samples currently being gathered for large criminal DNA databases
around the world. While larger numbers of samples can be processed
by increasing the number of laboratory personnel and instruments,
the development of high-throughput DNA processing technologies
promises to be more cost effective in the long run, especially for
the generation of large DNA databases. GeneTrace Systems, Inc., a
small biotechnology company located in Alameda, California, has
developed high-throughput DNA analysis capabilities using
time-of-flight mass spectrometry coupled with parallel sample
preparation on a robotic workstation. The GeneTrace technology
allows several thousand samples to be processed daily. DNA samples
can be analyzed in seconds, rather than minutes or hours, and with
improved accuracy compared with conventional electrophoresis
methods. Overall, the mass spectrometry method described in this
study is two orders of magnitude faster in sample processing time
than conventional techniques. This NIJ project was initiated to
adapt the GeneTrace technology to human identity DNA markers
commonly used by forensic DNA laboratories, specifically short
tandem repeat (STR) markers. An extension of the original grant was
submitted in December 1997 to fund the development of single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers from mitochondrial DNA and
the Y chromosome. Based on the results obtained in this study, the
authors believe mass spectrometry can be a useful and effective
means for high-throughput DNA analysis, and that it has the
capabilities to meet the needs of the forensic DNA community for
offender DNA databases. However, due to limited resources and a
perceived difficulty to enter the forensic DNA market, GeneTrace
made a business decision to not pursue this market. While the STR
milestones on the original grant were met, only the initial
milestones were achieved on the SNP portion of the NIJ grant
because of the premature termination on the part of GeneTrace.
GeneTrace Systems, Inc., developed an integrated high-throughput
DNA analysis system involving the use of proprietary chemistry,
robotic sample manipulation, and time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
The purpose of this NIJ project was to apply the GeneTrace
technology to improve the analysis of STR markers commonly used in
forensic DNA laboratories.

Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Computer Science
- Programming, Karlstad University, course: Computer Science,
language: English, abstract: With the advent of shorter time to
market of software products there an increasing requirement for
techniques and methods to improve the productivity levels in
software development together with a requirement for increased
flexibility and the introduction of late changes. This in turn has
lead to the introduction of a set of techniques known as Agile
methods which include one methodology known as eXtreme Programming.
This is a collection of values, principles, and practices. Since
these methods are becoming more common in industry, is has become
more important to introduce these ideas in the undergraduate
curriculum. This case study analysed whether or not it is possible
to teach eXtreme Programming at a university by means of a course
that presents a mixture of theory and practice within eXtreme
programming. In this context, a case study was carried out to
determine which of the practices of eXtreme Programming are more
appropriate to university projects. The case study indicates that
it is worth investing the effort to teach eXtreme Programming to
students to enable them to apply eXtreme Programming or at least
some of its practices in future business and university projects.
