Das Handbuch bietet einen wissenschaftlich fundierten Einstieg und Überblick in Geschichte und Gegenwart der Reformbestrebungen im Bildungsbereich. Thematisiert werden die historischen Erneuerungsimpulse und deren gesellschaftliche Einbettung und wirkungsgeschichtlichen Konsequenzen bis in die Gegenwart. Systematisch erschließt das Handbuch die vielfältigen, auch internationalen Ansätze von Reformpädagogik und Bildungsreform und stellt grundlegende Informationen für Forschung, Studium, Lehre und die Bildungspraxis für Schulverwaltung und Schulmanagement zur Verfügung.
The work describes the general ecological aspects of Iran as well as West and Central Asia in the introduction. The book includes three chapters, each describing the climate, geology and soil characteristics, vegetation and forest types, site demands of the main tree species and the ecogram of them, management and socio-economic issues of three different phytogeographical regions, mainly the Hyrcanian, Irano-Turanian, and Saharo-Sindian. Each chapter contains a table for introducing the English and Botanical names of the plant species mentioned in the chapter. The information presented in this book is based on personal experiences and results of research projects of the authors, as well as experiences of other forest scientists in Iran. The references are given at the end of each chapter separately. The book contains 10 tables, 37 black and white and 55 color pictures.
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a primary regulator of cholinergic signaling within and out of the central nervous system. It has been studied extensively for several decades, yet many basic questions about its regulation, composition and functions remain open. Thus, neither the full impact of AChE’s activities on neuronal development, maintenance and functioning nor the reasons for why and how different AChE molecular forms are being synthesized and degraded are fully known yet, although recent evidence suggests the involvement of micro-RNA regulators in both of these aspects. The identification of the anchoring proteins, PRiMA and ColQ, stimulates studies on AChE’s assembly and its spec...

Corneal transplantation has been performed with increasing success for more than 100 years. In the last 20 years, standards, outcomes and developments in the field of corneal transplantation and eye banking have been discussed at the annual meetings of the European Eye Bank Association (EEBA) to share and promote good practice and guarantee a high level of safety for the recipients. The EEBA standards for donor selection and eye banking provide professional advice and guidance to eye banks and corneal surgeons.This book highlights the history and development of eye banking and all significant steps including the donation, processing and distribution of corneas for transplantation. Additional contributions on the sclera, amnion and retinal pigment epithelium provide further insights into ocular surgery and the future potential for transplantation. This book contributes the essentials in eye banking activities for ophthalmologists and eye bankers as well as for regulatory and legislative authorities.
This graduate textbook serves as a highly readable guide on vaccines and vaccination in infants, children and adolescents from an European perspective. The first part of the book is dedicated to childhood and adolescent vaccine schedules, maternal and neonatal immunization and safety of vaccines. In a second part we focus on viral and bacterial vaccines. Further chapters discuss pediatric travel vaccines, vaccines in the pipeline and the European registration process. This book is intended to be a reference textbook and will help to standardize the information on vaccines and immunization program in the WHO European Region.
Agriculture faces many challenges to fulfil the growing demand for sustainable food production and ensure high-quality nutrition for a rapidly growing population. To guarantee adequate food production, it is necessary to increase the yield per area of arable land. A method for achieving this goal has been the application of growth regulators to modulate plant growth. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are substances in specific formulations which, when applied to plants or seeds, have the capacity to promote, inhibit, or modify physiological traits, development and/or stress responses. They maintain proper balance between source and sink for enhancing crop yield. PGRs are used to maximize produc...
