Selbsttötungsgedanken sind häufige Begleitphänomene schwerer, unheilbarer körperlicher und psychischer Erkrankungen. Die Mehrheit der Suizide wird von Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen vollzogen. Während es bei unheilbaren körperlichen Erkrankungen heute einen breiten Zuspruch gibt, wenn das Prinzip "Leidverminderung durch Lebensverkürzung" in Form des künstlich herbeigeführten Todes zur Anwendung kommt, ist dies bei psychischen Erkrankungen umstritten. Der Wunsch nach assisitertem Suizid von psychisch Erkrankten scheint schwerer greifbar. Er kann Ausdruck einer akuten psychischen Leidensphase sein, die jedoch medikamentös überwindbar ist. Er kann aber auch Ausdruck eines Wuns...
Freiverantwortlichkeit ist zentrale Voraussetzung für eine zulässige Suizidassistenz. Die meisten Menschen mit Suizidwunsch können jedoch aufgrund einer psychischen Erkrankung, Lebenskrise oder sozialen Notlage nicht freiverantwortlich urteilen. Wie lassen sich die beiden Gruppen zuverlässig unterscheiden? Um den anspruchsvollen Begriff Freiverantwortlichkeit empiriegestützt zu profilieren, werden Erkenntnisse aus Psychiatrie und Psychologie vorgestellt. Fachleute aus Philosophie, Theologie und Rechtswissenschaft reflektieren, wie sich Freiverantwortlichkeit von außen beurteilen lässt und inwiefern gesellschaftliche Bedingungen Einfluss nehmen. Offene Fragen und bislang kaum thematisi...
Missaukee County, established in 1871 in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula, has a rich history of logging, farming, and seasonal celebrations. Lake City, located on the shores of the beautiful 2,000-acre Lake Missaukee, is known for its "Four Seasons of Fun" and as the "Christmas Tree Capital" of the nation. Scenic, freshwater lakes and streams encourage swimming, boating, fishing, and camping throughout the year. The summer season finds people enjoying the rustic beauty and celebrating the Greatest Fourth in the North festival. Opportunities for hunting, snowmobiling, skiing, and ice fishing abound during fall and winter with over 100,000 acres of public land to explore. Each fall, the Christmas tree and lumber industries are celebrated with the annual Festival of the Pines. Chapters of this book explore interesting facets of the county's history: logging, farming and agriculture, schools, sports and teams, and festivals and tourism. Discover places, people, and little known facts that define the area, including the once-thriving towns that have almost disappeared.

This monograph provides a systematic treatment of the Brauer group of schemes, from the foundational work of Grothendieck to recent applications in arithmetic and algebraic geometry. The importance of the cohomological Brauer group for applications to Diophantine equations and algebraic geometry was discovered soon after this group was introduced by Grothendieck. The Brauer–Manin obstruction plays a crucial role in the study of rational points on varieties over global fields. The birational invariance of the Brauer group was recently used in a novel way to establish the irrationality of many new classes of algebraic varieties. The book covers the vast theory underpinning these and other ap...
With more than 18 million refugees worldwide, the refugee problem has fostered an intense debate regarding what political changes are necessary in the international system to provide effective solutions in the 1990s and beyond. In the past, refugees have been perceived largely as a problem of international charity, but as the end of the Cold War triggers new refugee movements across the globe, governments are being forced to develop a more systematic approach to the refugee problem. Beyond Charity provides the first extensive overview of the world refugee crisis today, asserting that refugees raise not only humanitarian concerns but also issues of international peace and security.

This book is the first comprehensive account of the International Labour Organization’s 100-year history. At its heart is the concept of global social policy, which encompasses not only social policy in its national and international dimensions, but also development policy, world trade, international migration and human rights. The book focuses on the ILO’s roles as a key player in debates on poverty, social justice, wealth distribution and social mobility subjects and as a global forum for addressing these issues. The study puts in perspective the manifold ways in which the ILO has helped structure these debates and has made – through its standard-setting, technical cooperation and myriad other activities – practical contributions to the world of work and to global social policy.
