Textbook of Neuromodulation
Until recently, it was thought that the adult brain is modifiable only during early stages of ontogenesis. However, neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies now indicate that the mature human brain is, under certain conditions, capable of substantial neuroplastic changes. Neuroplasticity reflects the ability of the human brain to alter the pattern of neural activation in response to previous experience, and recent findings indicate that the effects of experience can lead to both structural as well as functional reorganization. It has been shown that pathological neuroplastic changes can be reverted/normalized and that the modulation of the neuroplastic changes can be paralleled by improve...
Textbook of Cortical Brain Stimulation
Developed over the past 25 years, Cortical Brain Stimulation has emerged as a brand new, cutting-edge option for the treatment of intractable neurological and psychiatric disorders. Devoid of the mortality and disabling morbidity that may accompany deep brain stimulation, stimulating the cortex with a minimally invasive surgical approach had initially proved its worth for the treatment of Central and other Neuropathic Pain Syndromes and later for Parkinson Disease, Dystonia, Stroke and Coma rehabilitation, Epilepsy, Depression and Tinnitus. Written by many of the pioneers in the field, this authoritative treatise is a comprehensive presentation - from surgical details, to clinical results an...
Corporate Sustainability
This introductory textbook by international experts explores the key issues, actors and processes in the field of corporate sustainability.
Black Transhuman Liberation Theology
Mediating Black religious studies, spirituality studies, and liberation theology, Philip Butler explores what might happen if Black people in the United States merged technology and spirituality in their fight towards materializing liberating realities. The discussions shaping what it means for humans to exist with technology and as part of technology are already underway: transhumanism suggests that any use of technology to augment intellectual, psychological, or physical capability makes one transhuman. In an attempt to encourage Black people in the United States to become technological progenitors as a spiritual act, Butler asks whether anyone has ever been 'just' human? Butler then explores the implications of this question and its link to viewing the body as technology. Re-imagining incarnation as a relationship between vitality, biochemistry, and genetics, the book also takes a critical scientific approach to understanding the biological embodiment of Black spiritual practices. It shows how current and emerging technologies might align with the generative biological states of Black spiritualities in order to concretely disrupt and dismantle oppressive societal structures.
Business Regulation and Non-State Actors
This volume assesses the achievements and limitations of a new set of non-state or multistakeholder institutions that are concerned with improving the social and environmental record of business, and holding corporations to account. It does so from a perspective that aims to address two limitations that often characterize this field of inquiry. First, fragmentation: articles or books typically focus on one or a handful of cases. Second, the development dimension: what does such regulation imply for developing countries and subaltern groups in terms of well-being, empowerment and sustainability? This volume examines more than 20 initiatives or institutions associated with different regulatory and development approaches, including the business-friendly corporate social responsibility (CSR) agenda, ‘corporate accountability’ and ‘fair trade’ or social economy.
Einstellung von Volumenströmen im Bereich der Nanofluidik
Yavuz Selim Mutlu stellt die Entwicklung zweier Fluid-Drosselvarianten aus porösen Keramiken vor. Ziel ist es, eine neue Methode zu realisieren, um Volumenströme in der Nanofluidik verstellen zu können. Ein Einsatz dieser verstellbaren Drosseln ist in den implantierbaren Infusionspumpen in der Schmerz- und Spastiktherapie möglich. Der Autor beschreibt das Anwendungsspektrum implantierbarer Infusionspumpen und führt in die Grundlagen der Fluidmechanik mit dem Bezug zur Strömungssimulation mit der Software „GeoDict“ ein. Er untersucht und charakterisiert zwei Keramiktypen, beschreibt den Aufbau und die Funktionsweise beider Drosseltypen und stellt die Permeabilitätseigenschaften der porösen Medien sowie die Durchflussbereiche in der Nanofluidik vor. Die Herstellung einer Fluid-Drossel aus porösen Keramiken ist kostengünstig und in der Anwendung energiesparend.

National Action Plans in the Global Governance of Business and Human Rights
Diese Arbeit analysiert Nationale Aktionspläne für Wirtschaft und Menschenrechte als bedeutsamen Schritt in der Entwicklung unternehmerischer Menschenrechtsverantwortung. Angeleitet vom diskursiven Institutionalismus und gerahmt von einer Interpretation des Politikfeldes als Wettbewerb konkurrierender Ideen wird am Beispiel von Schweden und Deutschland detailliert der Einfluss staatlicher und nichtstaatlicher Akteure im Politikprozess beleuchtet und aufgezeigt, unter welchen Bedingungen unternehmerische Menschenrechtsverantwortung größere Verbindlichkeit gewinnt. Die Studie leistet theoretisch und empirisch einen innovativen Beitrag zur politikwissenschaftlichen Menschenrechtsforschung.
