Traces the establishment of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow as a licensing body to its eminence as a centre of teaching in the 18th century. The text then covers the subsequent decline of the college in the 19th century with an account of how, in conjunction with Glasgow University, it re-established itself as the guarantor of high medical standards of learning and practice.

R1,007 Discovery Miles 10 070 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This title was first published in 2002: This volume discusses the subject of biomedical ethics. Various views, historical and contemporary, are discussed, with the editors using the contrasting concepts in the shift from paternalism to autonomy in 20th-century medicine as a heuristic tool for the critical study of ethics in medicine.As far as the evidence in this volume goes, paternalistic medical practices and patient autonomy had an uneasy relationship by the beginning of the 20th century. A hundred years later, full autonomy in decisions on medical treatment is still subject to numerous caveats. The text pays close attention to the interplay between various players, noting how factors such as social contexts, governmental organizations and the biotechnological industry influence and shape responses to the principle of bioethics.

Georg Ernst Stahl (1659-1734) opposed reducing living nature to the inorganic laws of physics or chemistry. His ATheoria Medica VeraA (1708) showed the importance of 'whole person' medicine, in which the unity of all perceptive intelligence, mental, emotional, and physical, are used by the organism to sustain both its moral and material actions. The book traces the life of Stahl and his teaching career at the University of Halle and his influence at the court in Berlin, where he was first physician to King Frederick William I. Special attention is paid to his affiliation with August Hermann Francke and Pietism in Halle, but also to Stahl's popularity in more radical religious circles.

Global Geological Record of Lake Basins: Volume 1 (Paperback, Revised): E.Gierlowski- Kordesch, K. Kelts Global Geological Record of Lake Basins: Volume 1 (Paperback, Revised)
E.Gierlowski- Kordesch, K. Kelts
R2,021 Discovery Miles 20 210 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The sequence of sediments deposited in lakes forms an archive of a high-resolution record of the changes and rates of changes in continental palaeoenvironments. Global Geological Record of Lake Basins is the first in a short series of books containing concise geological summaries of lake basin deposits. Geoscientists worldwide have co-operated to bring together the information available on a global spectrum of lacustrine deposits - looking in particular at palaeoenvironmental aspects. The compilation has resulted from IGCP 219 - Comparative Lacustrine Sedimentology in Space and Time - which has given impetus to the field of limnogeology. Lacustrine deposits are widespread throughout the geological record, and this series of books will assess, for every geological time window, key lacustrine sequences worldwide in the form of short summaries of specific deposits. A common language will be defined to describe these deposits.

Die Brennstoffzellen haben die Phantasie von Technikern aller Richtungen schon von jeher besonders angeregt. Der Wunsch, elektrische Energie direkt aus fossilen Brennstoffen zu gewinnen, ist zuerst um die Jahrhundertwende aus theoretischen UEberlegungen heraus entstanden. Von 1920 an datierten ernst- hafte Versuche, diese theoretische Moeglichkeit auch experimentell zu verwirk- lichen. Aber erst in den Jahren nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg kann man eine moderne technologische Entwicklung beobachten. Die Ursache daflir waren die Verbesserung der Materialien, die als Baustoffe dienen konnten, die Erkennt- nisse in der Katalyse, und nicht zuletzt die Notwendigkeit, flir die Weltraum- forschung geeignete Stromquellen auf der Basis von Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff zur VerfUgung zu stellen. In den siebziger Jahren wurde die Technologie der Brennstoffzellen erd- gebunden, und man versuchte, ihre Vorteile flir den Kraftwerksbau nutzbar zu machen. Als Brennstoffe verwendete man Erdgas und Dieseloel, die in Dampf- reaktoren umgeformt wurden, so dass wieder Wasserstoff der eigentliche Brenn- stoff war. Als Resultat der Erdoelverknappung und des Umweltbewusstseins ist in der vergangenen Dekade das Interesse an Brennstoffzellen betrachtlich gestiegen. Ebenso hat der Enthusiasmus uber ihre Zukunftsaussichten nach einem voruber- gehenden Tief wieder zugenommen. Anwendungen fur Brennstoffzellen sind: Kleine Aggregate zur Stromerzeu- gung, zunachst als Ersatz fur Dieselmotor-Generatoren in entlegenen Lokalitaten, spater vielleicht fur den Fahrzeugantrieb; mittelgrosse Anlagen zur Produktion von Elektrizitat in Kraftwerken innerhalb von Stadtbezirken; grosse Brennstoff- batterien fur den Lastausgleich in Verbundnetzen.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Arbeit, Betrieb, Organisation und Wirtschaft, Note: 1, Universitat Wien, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Eingebunden in ein internationales Projekt liefert diese originelle Diplomarbeit Erkenntnisse, wie Einstellungen zum Euro im speziellen und zu Wahrungen im allgemeinen gepragt werden. Die Arbeit wurde mit dem OBERBANK Wissenschaftspreis ausgezeichnet, der mit 3000 Euro dotiert war., Abstract: Im Mittelpunkt dieser Studie steht der Euro, der das grosste Wahrungsexperiment aller Zeiten darstellt" (Emmerich, 2001, S. 8). Im Rahmen dieser einmaligen Situation kann untersucht werden, woran Menschen denken, wenn sie an den Euro denken und welche Aspekte herangezogen werden, um eine negative oder positive Einstellung zum Euro zu entwickeln. Das Konzept der Sozialen Reprasentationen bildet den theoretischen Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit. Unter Sozialen Reprasentationen versteht man einen historisch ablaufenden gesellschaftlichen Prozess der Elaboration, Kommunikation und Verbreitung von Wissenssystemen" (Wagner, 1994, S. 285). Das Konzept konzentriert sich auf den sozialen und kulturellen Hintergrund verschiedener Personen und erscheint daher besonders geeignet, die Vorstellungen uber den Euro verschiedener Gruppen zu untersuchen. Insgesamt wurden 498 Personen aus Osterreich, Belgien und Italien befragt, um ihre Sozialen Reprasentationen und Einstellungen zum Euro zu untersuchen. Zudem wurde uberpruft, inwiefern sich die Euro-Befurworter und Euro-Gegner verschiedener Nationen in ihren Sozialen Reprasentationen zum Euro unterscheiden
