New Method of Identifying Family Related Skulls
If DNA cannot be isolated, don't give up the identification! The author has used for the same purpose methods ranging from physical anthropology to forensic medicine and especially a recent method of comparison of epigenetic traits, which proved to be very useful for the identification of family related skulls in connection with historical and other data. The kinship of 18 identified skulls (buried together in a family vault) is established by comparison of X-ray images of paranasal cavities (frontal and maxillary sinuses, orbital and nasal cavities), the shape and size of which are strongly genetically determined. The comparison also extends to numerous other epigenetic trait similarities on the skulls. It is recommended for: scientists working on human identification and studying heredity, forensic scientists, physical anthropologists, radiologists, stomatologists, paleopathologists, geneticists, historians and many others.
Equal Access to healthcare in Europe
This volume grows out of the belief that diversity needs recognition and support from a favourable social environment. More precisely, the different members of diverse societies need recognition and support. This monograph is intended to provide a comparative perspective on the challenges faced in selected European countries (Croatia, Germany, Poland, Slovenia and the UK) with regard to equal access to healthcare and ways of handling them. The authors of the chapters comprising this volume, each within their specialty and in their own way, attempt to identify the different forms and dimensions in which we can be different and the barriers to our flourishing in, and with our differences.
Restorative Neurology of Spinal Cord Injury
Following injury or disease, neural circuitry can be altered to varying degrees leading to highly individualized characteristics that may or may not resemble original function. In addition, lost or partially damaged circuits and the effects of biological recovery processes coupled with learned compensatory strategies create a new neuroanatomy with capabilities that are often not functional or may interfere with daily life. To date, the majority of approaches used to treat neurological dysfunction have focused on the replacement of lost or damaged function, usually through the suppression of surviving neural activity and the application of mechanical assistive devices. Restorative Neurology o...

Quicksilver
Though modern scientists recognize mercury as a harmful environmental pollutant and one of the world's most dangerous elemental toxins, mercury was once considered a wondrous substance capable of eradicating internal disease, revolutionizing the paint and cosmetics industries and even entertaining the masses as part of amateur magic tricks and witch doctor scams. This work traces the history of mercury in popular culture, beginning in the early eighteenth century when Dr. Thomas Dover, nicknamed "Dr. Quicksilver," began prescribing doses of raw mercury to clear out intestinal blockages and rid the body of syphilis and other diseases. The author then details the role of mercury in several med...
Sinneslandschaften der Alpen
Wie fühlen sich die europäischen Alpen hautnah an? Welches könnte ihr Geschmack und Geruch sein? Und was lässt sich zu auditiven und visuellen Eindrücken dieser großen Landschaft sagen? Dieses Buch zeichnet die sinnliche Wahrnehmung der Alpen in Geschichte und Gegenwart nach. In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat sich das wissenschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Interesse am Reichtum und an der Vielfalt menschlicher Wahrnehmungen verstärkt. Dazu trug auch die Umweltproblematik bei, die unter der Perspektive des Sinnlichen in unmittelbarer Weise fühlbar wird. Im Alpenraum reagieren verschiedene politische und kulturelle Akteur:innen kreativ auf die Umweltveränderungen und die neuen Sensibilitäten. Das vorliegende Buch nimmt diesen Trend auf und untersucht die sinnliche Wahrnehmung der europäischen Alpen in Geschichte und Gegenwart. Fühlen, Schmecken, Riechen, Hören, Sehen – fünf renommierte Autor:innen gehen diesen Themen auf ebenso eigene wie wissenschaftlich informierte Weise nach. Daraus ergibt sich ein facettenreiches Gesamtbild einer großen Landschaft zwischen vorgefertigtem Image und dem Reich der Sinne.
