Handbook of Positional Plagiocephaly
by Satoshi Kusuda Yasuo Aihara Isao Kusakawa Shigeharu HosonoThis comprehensive book provides details on infants' deformed scalps and the early detection of severe positional plagiocephaly. Many health professionals involved in infant health care believe that positional head shape changes are only temporary and will return to normal shape on their own. However, some of them may develop a deformed scalp shape later in life, which can result in malocclusion. Early and appropriate intervention may improve outcomes in patients with positional plagiocephaly; however, all healthcare professionals caring for infants must pay much more attention. The purpose of this book is to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of infants with positional plagiocephaly. This book addresses the prevention of head deformity in infancy as well as the most recently developed helmet therapy. Handbook of Positional Plagiocephaly is an official publication of the Japan Cranial Medical Examination and Treatment Society (JCMETS), published to raise awareness and foster understanding among health professionals involved in infant health care, such as pediatricians, pediatric neurosurgeons, pediatric surgeons, plastic surgeons, obstetricians, nurses, midwives, and parents. Professionals such as pediatricians and pediatric neurosurgeons contributed as chapter authors, resulting in content that is both comprehensive and easy to understand for readers of all levels.

Decision Trees Versus Systems of Decision Rules: A Rough Set Approach (Studies in Big Data #160)
by Mikhail Moshkov Kerven Durdymyradov Azimkhon OstonovThis book explores, within the framework of rough set theory, the complexity of decision trees and decision rule systems and the relationships between them for problems over information systems, for decision tables from closed classes, and for problems involving formal languages. Decision trees and systems of decision rules are widely used as means of representing knowledge, as classifiers that predict decisions for new objects, as well as algorithms for solving various problems of fault diagnosis, combinatorial optimization, etc. Decision trees and systems of decision rules are among the most interpretable models of knowledge representation and classification. Investigating the relationships between these two models is an important task in computer science. The possibilities of transforming decision rule systems into decision trees are being studied in detail. The results are useful for researchers using decision trees and decision rule systems in data analysis, especially in rough set theory, logical analysis of data, and test theory. This book is also used to create courses for graduate students.
Der Higgs-Mechanismus: Entwicklung einer Fortbildung für Lehrkräfte inklusive Handreichung (BestMasters)
by Eric WeißIm Juli 2012 prägte ein besonderes Thema aus der Physik die Medienlandschaft. Das letzte unbekannte Elementarteilchen des sogenannten Standardmodells der Teilchenphysik, das Higgs-Boson, konnte am Large Hadron Collider (LHC) am CERN in der Schweiz erstmals nachgewiesen werden. Es bleibt jedoch die Frage offen, um was es sich beim zugrunde liegenden Higgs-Mechanismus und beim Higgs-Teilchen an sich eigentlich handelt. Selbst Lehrkräfte des Faches Physik stoßen bei diesem Thema an ihre Grenzen. Ziel dieses Werks ist die Erarbeitung einer Fortbildung für Lehrkräfte des Faches Physik. Dazu wird der Higgs-Mechanismus in Form einer wissenschaftlichen Aufarbeitung Schritt für Schritt, unterstützt von ausgewählten Werken, aufgearbeitet.

Traditions of Analysis and Synthesis (Archimedes #73)
by Jutta Schickore William R. NewmanThis open access book provides a fresh perspective on analysis and synthesis across several areas of inquiry. The two operations form a primary basis of modern laboratory science, ranging from the spectrographic analysis used in practically every scientific discipline today, to the naming of entire disciplines, such as synthetic organic chemistry. Despite their acknowledged significance, however, the history of analysis, synthesis, and their relations over the longue durée is poorly understood. Several volumes have been devoted to the history of analysis and synthesis in the sense that premodern mathematicians and philosophers used the terms, but very little work has been done on the tradition of material decomposition and recomposition and its relationship to mathematics and philosophy. The present volume brings together scholars in the history of medicine, mathematics, philosophy, chemistry, and alchemy to explore the ways in which these multiple disciplines understood and used analysis and synthesis as experimental, justificatory, and conceptual tools.

Diversität im Bauwesen - Die Gamechanger: Innovation durch Vielfalt stärken
by Bianca Christina Weber-LewerenzDas Buch klärt auf, weshalb Innovation und neue digitale Technologien in der Baubranche und darüber hinaus wesentlich von einer neuen Denkkultur abhängen. Persönliche Erfahrungsberichte aus der Anwenderpraxis und Einblicke in die Forschung zeigen die vielen menschlichen und technischen Potenziale auf, die bisher teilweise noch unzureichend genutzt werden. Das Buch gibt Beispiele dafür, wie der digitale Wandel sinnvoll und konstruktiv mitgestaltet werden kann. Es blickt auf die historische Entwicklung von Vielfalt am Bau zurück und beleuchtet unternehmerische Wege hin zu mehr Diversität, benennt aber auch die Problemfelder, die den Innovationsprozess behindern. Dabei stellt es neue Wege in Aussicht. Aus der Bestandsaufnahme „Wo stehen wir?“ und der Frage: „Wo wollen (müssen) wir hin?“ leiten sich vielfältige Calls for Action ab. Denn: Diversität stellt den Schlüssel zum Erfolg dar. Diese Erkenntnis ist wichtig, um die Weichen für ein innovatives, nachhaltiges Bauwesen jetzt zu stellen. Das Buch arbeitet die Schlüsselfaktoren und Kernkompetenzen auf allen Ebenen heraus, die maßgeblich für die Förderung von Diversität und Innovation sind. Setzt sie diese konsequent ein, kann die Baubranche eine Vorreiterrolle im In- und Ausland einnehmen.
History of Science in Latin America (20th century): Essays in Honor of Juan José Saldaña González
by María de la Paz Ramos-Lara Luis Carlos ArboledaThis book provides a unique analysis of how the History of Science became institutionalized in Latin America during the last two decades of the 20th century. It examines the establishment of the first Latin American community in the History of Science and its connections with the international community and various international institutions, such as the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology / Division of History of Science and Technology (IUHPST/DHST). The authors are the same scholars who have been involved in several activities and strategies to professionalize and institutionalize this field in Latin America. They explore the impact of Western educational institutions and theoretical and methodological perspectives on the introduction of the History of Science in several Latin American nations. The book examines the two-way movement of European scholars to Latin America and Latin American students mainly to France. At that time, the organization of congresses in France, Spain, the United States, and other European countries encouraged the participation of Latin American historians of science. Notable events include the Science and Empires congress in Paris (1990), the Ciencia, descubrimiento y mundo colonial conference in Madrid (1991), and the International Congresses of History of Science and Technology (ICHST). The authors refer to seven Latin Americans who signed the Declaration of Bucharest (1981) to promote the history of sciences in their countries. This initiative led to the establishment of the Latin American Society for the History of Science and Technology (LASHST) in 1982, under the leadership of Juan José Saldaña, director of Quipu and Cuadernos de Quipu. With his leadership, existing national societies were reactivated, and new ones were created, up to ten in four years: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Cuba. This effort internationally legitimized Latin American scientific practice, culminating in celebrating the XXI ICHST in Mexico City in 2001. He founded the International Association for Scientific Cultural Diversity (IASCUD) and became the first Latin American to serve as Secretary General of IUHPST/DHS from 2001 to 2005. Through his various actions and activities, Saldaña and the LASHST community were able to promote the institutionalization of the History of Science in Latin America. This book pays a well-deserved tribute to his efforts.
Proceedings of Topical Issues in International Political Geography (Springer Geography)
by Andrei Znamenski Radomir Bolgov Vadim Atnashev Alexey Tsyb Sergey Pogodin Timo Duile Yuriy GladkiyThis proceedings book provides selections from the 2023 Topical Issues in International Political Geography (TIPG) meeting. This gathering addresses the main issues of contemporary political geography and international relations, providing a platform for discussion and collaboration between an international array of experts primarily in the fields of political geography, geopolitics, and international relations. The first section of this volume focuses on international relations, addressing issues such as multipolarity, small states, transport cooperation, politico-geographical processes, and international security in the context of geographic space. Building on these spatially rooted themes, section two presents contributions that focus on the dual processes of globalization or regionalism. Authors of these chapters use historical frameworks to interrogate the nation state, ideology, identity, symbolisms, sovereignty, and memory. In section three, the focus narrows to specific domestic policies—such as those related to gender, public services, elections, and corruption prevention—situated in contemporary conversations about digital transformations. Section four turns to instruments of cultural policy, examining tourism and (in a new addition in response to developments in the field) education. Similarly, section five introduces a theme new to the conference: migration and socio-demographic processes. These chapters evaluate national, regional, and local aspects of migration and multiculturalism. The final section turns to the still-pressing theme of sustainable development, taking up case studies of nations and international organizations grappling with questions about sustainable growth, political ecology, and environmental culture. The content of the book will be interesting to experts, academics, and students.
Manual of Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Step-by-Step Guide
by Fiyin Sokoya Aurora G. VincentThis text will deliver revolutionary approaches to reconstructive surgery in a clear and consistent format. Head and neck reconstruction has long been thought to be a daunting, intimidating, and tedious field of surgery. Microvascular head and neck reconstruction is one of the most advanced surgical options available for reconstruction. It is used to treat defects created by removal of tissue in the larynx, pharynx, oral cavity, salivary glands, tongue, and skin. It is also utilized in combination with chemotherapy and radiation for the treatment of head and neck cancer. Due to the disfiguring nature of the removal of these tissues, microvascular reconstruction is important to return the face, head, and neck to as normal as possible. This text reviews cutting edge surgical skills in head and neck oncologic surgery and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. The Manual of Head and Neck Reconstruction will include step-by-step guides, with clear, illustrated, coverage of regional and distant cutaneous, muscular, osseus flaps, donor site harvest and transfer for head and neck reconstruction. The book will discuss relevant anatomy, nuances of flap design, harvesting techniques, insetting, ideal locations of flap use, and flap combinations. It will also discuss preoperative preparations, intraoperative considerations, techniques for avoiding pitfalls, and managing postoperative complications. There will be intraoperative pictures walking the audience through the surgeries in a detailed fashion, with the goal of imparting an efficient, effective surgical philosophy. Exclusively to this text, the topic of surgical maneuvers designed to improve surgical efficiency and save hours of intraoperative time, limiting patient’s time under anesthesia, will be discussed. This book was authored by experts in head and neck reconstruction trained by Dr. Yadro Ducic over the past 12 years. It is a great resource for many surgeons in the field of otolaryngology-head/neck surgery.
