In 2019, Islamic State lost its last remaining sliver of territory in Syria, and its Caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed. These setbacks seemed to herald the Caliphate's death knell, and many now forecast its imminent demise. Yet its affiliates endure, particularly in Africa: nearly all of Islamic State's cells on the continent have reaffirmed their allegiance, attacks have continued in its name, many groups have been reinvigorated, and a new province has emerged. Why, in Africa, did the two major setbacks of 2019 have so little impact on support for Islamic State?

In this book, leading experts provide step-by-step, illustrated descriptions of their standard surgical techniques (open and laparoscopic) for diverse gastrointestinal indications and their preferred modifications when confronted by challenging circumstances associated with an increased risk of intra- or postoperative complications. The provision of several points of view for each surgical indication ensures that approaches from the conservative to the more radical are conveyed. It is clearly explained in which situations use of the described technical variations may be indicated, and practical tips are provided on the avoidance of complications. In addition, important medicolegal issues are discussed and guidance is offered on risk assessment and decision analysis within the surgical setting. The book will be an invaluable aid to decision making and practice for every gastrointestinal surgeon.
This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of environmental and construction engineering, as presented by international researchers and engineers at the 2nd International Conference on Efficient Production and Processing, held on February 25-26, 2021. It covers highly diverse topics, including use of secondary raw materials in construction technologies; urban waste management logistics; use of recycled materials in road construction; safety and security in waste handling; food science and agriculture; waste and water treatment; and environmental economics. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.
Chirurgische Eingriffe an gastrointestinalen Organen unterliegen trotz Standardisierung und weitreichender Technisierung nach wie vor zum Teil erheblichen Unterschieden. Für alle Chirurgen ist es von großem Interesse, die individuellen technischen Varianten einzelner auf diesem Gebiet ausgewiesener Chirurgen kennen zu lernen und so ihr eigenes operatives Repertoire zu erweitern. In diesem Buch werden die chirurgischen Eingriffe für eine Auswahl wichtiger Operationen von Experten in ihrer spezifischen Vorgehensweise Schritt für Schritt und reich bebildert dargestellt. Zahlreiche renommierte Chirurgen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum ebenso wie internationale Autoren beschreiben ihr Procedere. Außergewöhnliche und schwierige Situationen, wie unerwartete Befunde, anatomische Varianten oder Blutungszwischenfälle, finden besondere Berücksichtigung.
