Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Previous developments of medical mobile applications usually were monolithic ones, designed for a fixed HW infrastructure. The whole application has to be developed and deployed in one piece and the entire tier has to be retested and redeployed when something is changed. Hundreds of applications for smartphones with various operating systems have been created by different providers. We are mostly the first who start to investigate advantages of service-oriented architecture in mobile medicine. This paper is a generalization of the author's publications on the possible usage of the service-oriented computing paradigm (SOC) for building a medical services platform which allows unifying the development of applications for patients, doctors and the central server by orchestrating and composing web services from a common cloud repository. Due to this approach the created applications can be adapted to the particular patient, his disease and the plan of his treatment at home. Ontologies as the foundations of semantic modelling and its enhancement through architectural pattern modelling are at the core of the proposed approach.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book deals with the relationship between anxiety and other variables, among which are stress and the health of worker. It is based on a study that aims to determine whether a relationship exists between evaluation anxiety (in different situations at the cognitive, physiological and motor level) and the following variables: the current status (satisfied, motivated, stressed), the perception of psychosocial risks at work (cognitive demands, control, rewards, organizational support), health (ailments in general, headache, musculoskeletal disorders, medications and sports practice) and differences between men and women in anxiety. It is also studied if there is relationship between emotional intelligence in working teams and anxiety. The results of the analyzes performed indicate that those workers who have more anxiety have a worse perception of psychosocial risks, are more stressed and have worse health than those who have less anxiety. Working women are more anxious than men. This book will help to know the activation that occurs in situations of anxiety and its relationship with the perception of stress and health of workers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This analysis includes a comparative review of the American and German elections of 2016-17, in light of the common refugee issue. The immigration and refugee issue solidified the American Executive victory while the refugee crisis in Germany did not result in a dramatic electoral upset. The theoretical framework includes the application of Realist and Revised Realist Theories, with the Revised Theoretical perspective having broader relevance to the case studies. As a method of organizing comparative electoral outcomes, the concepts of space, dialogue, and identity were each explored in the broader context of electoral processes. Across the case study nations, the definition of space is tightening, the nature of political dialogue is more volatile, and identity will remain a central question for politics and governance structures to define.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

The current approaches in domain of cutting tools for complex surface generation gave solutions for surface enveloping based on the fundamental or complementary theorems. In both cases, the solutions are based on analytical methods, which, although rigorous from mathematical point of view, may be less intuitive and may give results difficult to be interpreted and applied in technique.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are chronic disorders with a variable clinical course. Specific tools, such as the questionnaire on inflammatory bowel disease, have been developed to assess the quality of life in patients with IBD but Health-related quality of life is a subjective concept that refers to how the patient feels about these limitations. IBD causes disability and affects different dimensions of health-related quality of life so disability is an objective concept that refers to problems that the patient may have in different areas of health such as private and professional lives. Recently, the IBD disability index (IBD-DI) was developed to measure the functional consequences and disease burden of IBD. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between the IBD-DI, clinical characteristics and HRQoL in a cohort of Sicilian patents with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn disease (CD).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The anatomy of the cerebral white matter is nowadays more and more important due to its applications in neurology, neurosurgery and fundamental neuroscience that arose together with the development of the imaging techniques. For a three dimensional view of the white matter tracts, the Klingler technique is the most appropriate because it is based on the formation of formaldehyde crystals that separate the fibers so that they can be dissected in a fashion which is homologue with virtual tractography. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the morphology and function of the white matter tracts and three stepwise fiber dissection protocols for the human brain and their adapted versions for the mammalian brains using the porcine brain as prototype. It is especially useful for teaching purposes in neuroanatomy or in the laboratory training for young neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists and neurologists who want to improve their neuroanatomy knowledge.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The right performance and reliability of automobiles depend on both the technological factors and the quality of used fuels. So, physico-chemical properties of the fuels are presented in accordance with the performances of the engines they influence. Increased environmental awareness and depletion of fossil petroleum resources are driving the automotive industry to seek out and use alternative fuels. Biofuel is a major renewable energy source to supplement declining fossil fuel resources. The addition of alcohols is practical in biodiesel blends due to its miscibility with the pure biodiesel, improving physico-chemical properties of biodiesel blends, which lead to improved combustion efficiency. Proper volatility of fuels is critical to the operation of internal combustion engines with respect to both performance and emissions. Volatility may be characterised by distillation.The presence of ethanol or other oxygenates may affect these properties and, as a result, performances and emissions, as well. However, in the case of diesel-biodiesel-alcohols mixtures, the variance of component volatility makes difficult the analysis of the overall volatility.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is defined as feeding infants with only breast milk (with no other liquids or solids), and is recommended for the first six months to mothers worldwide by the World Health Organisation. The decline of EBF rate in Ghana from 98% at birth to 63% at six months constitutes a public health concern. Nurses play a preponderant role in assuring that postnatal mothers breastfeed exclusively their children. However, little is known about the reasons that prevent nurses who become mothers to exclusively breastfeed their children in Ghana. This study aims at exploring barriers to EBF of ¿nurse mothers¿ in Ghana. A qualitative method, using social constructivism and phenomenology, provided the suitable epistemological approaches to understand the experiences of ¿nurse mothers¿. Analysis of data showed that factors that prevented nurses from EBF were related to workplace EBF policies, absence of crèche, non conducive working environment, safety of breast milk expressed, unreliable caretakers, and psycho-physical problems. Participants made recommendations to improve EBF at the workplace. This would ultimately contribute to increase EBF rate in Ghana.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.
