Die Behandlung bösartiger Tumoren ist nach wie vor eine der Kernaufgaben in der operativen Medizin. Für die jeweiligen Tumorentitäten haben ausgewiesene Experten aus Österreich und Deutschland im Autorenduo abgestimmte Handlungs- und Therapieempfehlungen erarbeitet. Dabei wurde besonderer Wert auf eine soweit möglich evidenzbasierte und vor allem auch für den klinischen Alltag praktikable Vorgehensweise gelegt. Das Buch zeigt, wie sich operative Eingriffe in ein modernes interdisziplinäres onkologisches Gesamtkonzept eingliedern und welche Benchmarks als Qualitätskriterien heranzuziehen sind. Offene Fragen, die vor allem im Rahmen klinischer Studien zu lösen sind, werden dargestellt. Das Buch richtet sich an Chirurgen und Onkologen (auch Berufsanfänger) und hilft bei der Entscheidung, welche Behandlungsschritte vor Ort durchgeführt werden können und wo eine Zusammenarbeit mit einem spezialisierten Zentrum gesucht werden soll.

Human-centred Economics The Living Standards of Nations


Free Download Human-centred Economics: The Living Standards of Nations
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031374347 | 350 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 15 MB
This open access book examines the chronic underperformance of economies with respect to inclusion, sustainability and resilience. It finds that the standard liberal economic growth and development model has evolved over the past century in a fundamentally unbalanced manner that underemphasizes the crucial role of institutions – legal norms, policy incentives and public administrative capacities – in translating market-based growth in the production of goods and services into broad and sustainable gains in social welfare at the household level. Correcting this imbalance of emphasis in economic theory and policy between markets and institutions, production and distribution, and national income and household living standards is the single most important step required to transcend 20th century trickle-down "neoliberalism" and replace it with a more human-centred model of economic progress in the 21st century.

Free Download Ian Sumner, Richard Hook, "British Colours & Standards 1747-1881 (2): Infantry"
English | 2001 | pages: 67 | ISBN: 1841762016 | PDF | 11,5 mb
In this second of a two-part sequence a respected vexillologist describes, explains and illustrates a wide variety of the King’s and Regimental colours carried during the 18th and 19th centuries by British Household, Regular, Militia and Volunteer infantry regiments. The successive regulations between 1747 and 1881 – when the carrying of colours in the field ceased – are supported by comprehensive tables of ‘ancient badges’ and battle honours; many careful drawings; and by ten dazzling plates by Richard Hook, detailing some 35 flags in full colour, as well as a number of famous colour-bearers.

ACDC The Savage Tale of the First Standards War


Free Download AC/DC: The Savage Tale of the First Standards War by Tom McNichol, Malcolm Hillgartner, Blackstone Audio, Inc.
English | 2008 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B00196OF78 | MP3@64 Kbps | Duration: 6:28 h | 179 Mb
Long before there was VHS versus Betamax, Windows versus Macintosh, or Blu-Ray versus HD-DVD, the first and nastiest standards war was fought over how electricity would be transmitted around the world: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). The savage showdown between AC and DC changed the lives of billions of people, shaped the modern technological age, and set the stage for all standards wars to follow.
AC/DC tells the little-known story of how Thomas Edison bet wrong in that war, eventually losing control over the "operating system" for his future inventions – not to mention the company he founded, which would later become General Electric. Today’s Digital Age wizards can take lessons from Edison’s fierce battle: control an invention’s technical standard and you control the market
