Sven Effert (1922 – 2000) – Leben und Werk
Das vorliegende Werk zeichnet ein detailliertes Bild Sven Efferts (1922 2000) im Spiegel seiner Zeit und analysiert dessen Einfluss auf den heutigen Stand der Kardiologie und Biomedizinischen Technik. Effert etablierte unter anderem die Echokardiographie in Deutschland, bereitete hier den Weg für die Erstimplantation eines Schrittmachers und entwickelte durch seine Arbeiten das heute noch angewandte Monitoring im Verlauf eines akuten Myokardinfarkts. Als einer der Gründungsordinarien der Medizinischen Fakultät der RWTH Aachen führte Effert den Lehrstuhl für Innere Medizin I in interdisziplinärer medizinisch-technischer Orientierung. In diesem Zusammenhang erwirkte er auch die Gründung des Helmholtz-Instituts an der RWTH das wohl bedeutendste Verdienst Efferts für die Entwicklung der Biomedizinischen Technik in Deutschland.
Forschungen zur Medizingeschichte
Der vorliegende Band setzt die etablierte Reihe „Schriften des Rheinischen Kreises der Medizinhistoriker“ fort. Dabei gingen viele Manuskripte erneut aus zwei Jahrestagungen hervor, die der Rheinische Kreis 2011 in Köln und 2012 in Grefrath ausrichtete. Einmal mehr kommen neben professionellen Geschichtswissenschaftlerinnen und -wissenschaftlern, die überwiegend an den universitären Instituten in Nordrhein-Westfalen beschäftigt sind, auch praktisch tätige Ärzte und Apotheker mit besonderem Interesse an medizinhistorischen Fragestellungen zu Wort. Ebenfalls beibehalten wurde das Konzept, zusätzlich zu abgeschlossenen wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen auch Projektskizzen und Zwischenberichte aus laufenden Forschungsvorhaben aufzunehmen.
Judges, Legislators and Professors
In Judges, legislators and professors one of the world's foremost legal historians shows how and why continental and common law have come to diverge so sharply. Using ten specific examples he investigates the development of European law, not as the manifestation of certain ideological and intellectual trends, but as largely the result of power struggles between the judiciary, the legislators, and legal scholars, each representing certain political and social ambitions. Now available in paperback, Judges, legislators and professors provides an historical introduction to continental law which is readily accessible to readers familiar with the common law tradition and vice-versa.
Grain Markets in Europe, 1500–1900
In this 1999 book, Karl Gunnar Persson surveys a broad sweep of economic history, examining one of the most crucial markets - grain. His analysis allows him to draw more general lessons, for example that liberalization of markets was linked to political authoritarianism. Grain Markets in Europe traces the markets' early regulation, their poor performance and the frequent market failures. Price volatility caused by harvest shocks was of major concern for central and local government because of the unrest it caused. Regulation became obsolete when markets became more integrated and performed better through trade triggered by falling transport costs. Persson, a specialist in economic history, uses insights from development economics, explores contemporary economic thought on the advantages of free trade, and measures the extent of market integration using the latest econometric methods. Grain Markets in Europe will be of value to scholars and students in economic history, social history and agricultural and institutional economics.
Borderline City
Even before the spread of COVID 19 across the globe during the crisis of 2020, cities and regions acted as venues and drivers for a dualistic development dynamic by both creating and dissolving borders. The results obtained from various university seminars and a European summer school form the basis for a crisis manuscript, while serving to review the planning and design activities in different European cities and regions. For the first time ever, a network of students from the urban planning and design departments at 19 European universities have defined common requirements for crisis-resistant and people-friendly urban planning in Europe: On the one hand, crisis-related experiences act as ...
Religion and Political Culture in Britain and Ireland
The main theme of this book is religion and identity - not only national identity, but also regional and local identities. David Hempton penetrates to the heart of vigorous religious and political cultures, both elite and popular, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He brings to life a diverse and variegated spectrum of religious communities in all of the British Isles. With so much new British history really an extended version of old English history, Hempton has devoted more attention to the Celtic fringes, especially Ireland. It is an exercise in comparative history, but he also shows how richly coloured is the religious history of these islands. He demonstrates that even in their cultural distinctiveness, the various religious traditions have had more in common than is sometimes imagined. The book arises from the 1993 Cadbury Lectures at the University of Birmingham.
The History of Linguistics in Europe
This authoritative and wide-ranging book, first published in 2003, examines the history of western linguistics over a 2000-year timespan, from its origins in ancient Greece up to the crucial moment of change in the Renaissance that laid the foundations of modern linguistics. Some of today's burning questions about language date back a long way: in 1400 BC Plato was asking how words relate to reality. Other questions go back just a few generations, such as our interest in the mechanisms of language change, or in the social factors that shape the way we speak. Vivien Law explores how ideas about language over the centuries have changed to reflect changing modes of thinking. A survey chapter brings the coverage of the book up to the present day. Classified bibliographies and chapters on research resources and the qualities the historian of linguistics needs to develop, provide the reader with the tools to go further.
Qualitative Content Analysis in Practice
Qualitative content analysis is a powerful method for analyzing large amounts of qualitative data collected through interviews or focus groups. It is frequently employed by students, but introductory textbooks on content analysis have largely focused on the quantitative version of the method. In one of the first to focus on qualitative content analysis, Margrit Schreier takes students step-by step through: - creating a coding frame - segmenting the material - trying out the coding frame - evaluating the trial coding - carrying out the main coding - what comes after qualitative content analysis - making use of software when conducting qualitative content analysis. Each part of the process is ...
