Körper in der Medizin
Ist der natürliche Körper überflüssig geworden? Im Zeitalter von Gentechnik und Biomedizin ist ein natürlich gewachsener, unveränderter Körper längst keine Selbstverständlichkeit mehr. Stattdessen kann er künstlich erschaffen und in zunehmendem Maße manipuliert und perfektioniert werden. Wie aber wirken sich immer tiefer gehende Eingriffe in den Körper auf die Persönlichkeit des Menschen aus? Müssen wir im Zuge dieser Entwicklung nicht nur traditionelle Körperbilder hinterfragen, sondern unser gesamtes Menschenbild? Hier wird das Leib-Seele-Problem in die heutige Zeit übertragen und im Hinblick auf aktuelle Themen aus Medizin und Forschung diskutiert. Dabei liegt der Fokus ni...
Konkurrierende Staatsziele - Religionsfreiheit vs. Tierschutz
Am 01. 08. 2002 wurde in Art. 20a GG das Staatsziel Tierschutz aufgenommen. Seit diesem Zeitpunkt befassen sich Veterinärämter und untere Gerichte mit Anträgen zur rituellen betäubungslosen Schlachtung gemäß religiösen muslimischen Überlieferungen. Das ethische und rechtliche Dilemma dieser Anträge resultiert aus der gesetzlich vorgesehenen Ausnahmegenehmigung für betäubungsloses Schächten (§ 4a TierSchG Abs. 2 Nr. 2): Muslimische Antragsteller, die sich durch das generelle deutsche Schächtverbot in ihrer freien Religionsausübung und - bei muslimischen Metzgern - ebenfalls in der Freiheit der Berufsausübung gehindert sehen, dürfen gemäß dieser Ausnahmegenehmigung auch gege...
Assessing Genetic Risks
Raising hopes for disease treatment and prevention, but also the specter of discrimination and "designer genes," genetic testing is potentially one of the most socially explosive developments of our time. This book presents a current assessment of this rapidly evolving field, offering principles for actions and research and recommendations on key issues in genetic testing and screening. Advantages of early genetic knowledge are balanced with issues associated with such knowledge: availability of treatment, privacy and discrimination, personal decision-making, public health objectives, cost, and more. Among the important issues covered: Quality control in genetic testing. Appropriate roles for public agencies, private health practitioners, and laboratories. Value-neutral education and counseling for persons considering testing. Use of test results in insurance, employment, and other settings.
Promoting Safe and Effective Genetic Testing in the United States
In view of this uncertainty, the Working Group on Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Human Genome Research at the National Institutes of Health and Department of Energy created the Task Force on Genetic Testing.
Building Performance Simulation for Design and Operation
Effective building performance simulation can reduce the environmental impact of the built environment, improve indoor quality and productivity, and facilitate future innovation and technological progress in construction. It draws on many disciplines, including physics, mathematics, material science, biophysics and human behavioural, environmental and computational sciences. The discipline itself is continuously evolving and maturing, and improvements in model robustness and fidelity are constantly being made. This has sparked a new agenda focusing on the effectiveness of simulation in building life-cycle processes. Building Performance Simulation for Design and Operation begins with an intr...
Multivariate Analysis
Data can be extremely valuable if we are able to extract information from them. This is why multivariate data analysis is essential for business and science. This book offers an easy-to-understand introduction to the most relevant methods of multivariate data analysis. It is strictly application-oriented, requires little knowledge of mathematics and statistics, demonstrates the procedures with numerical examples and illustrates each method via a case study solved with IBM’s statistical software package SPSS. Extensions of the methods and links to other procedures are discussed and recommendations for application are given. An introductory chapter presents the basic ideas of the multivariat...
Drum Dances
Commissioned by renowned percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie, Psathas’ Drum Dances (1993) is a standard for drum kit and piano repertoire. Each of the four movements in this work were stimulated by a certain rhythmic interaction possible between two performers. The performers gradually transition from battling for superiority to working together throughout the work as they navigate material ranging from from a loosely-written stately dance to very tight and syncopated rhythmic interaction.
