Download or read book The Animal Rights Struggle written by Christophe Traïni and published by Protest and Social Movements. This book was released on 2016 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beginning of the 19th century to the present day, a host of campaigners have denounced the mistreatment of animals. Relying on a comparison of the British and French experiences, this book retraces the various strands of the animal protection movement, from their origins to their continuing impact on current debates. The story of the collective mobilizations behind the struggle for animal rights sheds light on several crucial processes in our social and political history: changes in sensibilities and socially approved emotions; the definition of what constitutes legitimate violence; the establishment of norms designed to change what constitutes morally acceptable practices; rivalry between elites having differing conceptions of the forms authority should take; the influence of religious belief on militant activities; and the effects of gender discrimination.--
Download or read book Facing the Holocaust in Budapest written by Arieh Ben-Tov and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 1988 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ICRC delegate in Budapest was instructed to act within the strict confines of the Geneva conventions, and his report in early 1944 warning of the immediate danger to the 800,000 Jews should Germany occupy Hungary was still being debated in the ICRC headquarters when the Germans invaded in March. Only in July 1944 did Max Huber, the director of ICRC, write to the Hungarian Regent in reaction to public pressure. The ICRC's attitude reflected that of the Swiss government which was concerned with maintaining neutrality. Concludes that if the ICRC had acted forcefully it would have been much more difficult for the SS and the Hungarians to carry out the deportations. In contrast, the ICRC delegate in Budapest in the latter part of 1944, Friedrich Born, established childrens' homes, took under his protection camps and buildings where Jews were interned, and lodged official objections when violations of this protection occurred.

Download or read book Contemporary Developments and Perspectives in International Health Security written by Stanislaw P. Stawicki and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International health security (IHS) is a broad and highly heterogeneous area. Within this general context, IHS encompasses subdomains that potentially influence (and more specifically endanger) the well-being and wellness of humans. The general umbrella of IHS includes, but is not limited to, natural disasters, emerging infectious diseases (EID) and pandemics, rapid urbanization, social determinants of health, population growth, systemic racism and discrimination, environmental matters, civilian violence and warfare, various forms of terrorism, misuse of antibiotics, and the misuse of social media. The need for this expanded definition of health security stems from the realization that topics such as EID; food, water, and pharmaceutical supply chain safety; medical and health information cybersecurity; and bioterrorism, although important within the overall realm of health security, are not only able to actively modulate the wellness and health of human populations, but also tend to do so in a synergistic fashion. This inaugural tome of a multi-volume collection, Contemporary Developments and Perspectives in International Health Security, introduces many of the topics directly relevant to modern IHS theory and practice. This first volume provides a solid foundation for future installments of this important and relevant book series.
Download or read book Brain Death and Disorders of Consciousness written by Calixto Machado and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-03-31 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although some decades have passed, there are still worldwide controversies about a concept of human death on neurological grounds. There are also disagreements on the diagnostic criteria for brain death, whether clinical alone or clinical plus ancillary tests. Moreover, some scholars who were strong defenders of a brain-based standard of death are now favoring a circulatory-respiratory standard. The study of coma is extremely important because lesions of the brain are responsible for quality of life in patients or cause of death. The main goal of Brain Death and Disorders of Consciousness is to provide a suitable scientific platform to discuss all topics related to human death and coma.

Download or read book Translational Research in Audiology Neurotology and the Hearing Sciences written by Colleen G. Le Prell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translational Research is the interface between basic science and human clinical application, including the entire process from animal studies to human clinical trials (phases I, II, and III). Translational Research moves promising basic science results from the laboratory to bedside application. Yet, this transition is often the least-defined, least-understood part of the research process. Most scientific training programs provide little or no systematic introduction to the issues, challenges, and obstacles that prevent effective research translation, even though these are the key steps that enable high-impact basic science to ultimately result in significant clinical advances that improve patient outcome. This volume will provide an overview of key issues in translation of research from “bedside to bench to bedside”, not only from the perspective of the key funding agencies, but also from the scientists and clinicians who are currently involved in the translational research process. It will attempt to offer insight into real-world experience with intellectual property and technology transfer activities that can help move auditory technologies ahead, as scientists and clinicians typically have little or no formal training in these areas. Translational Research in Audiology and the Hearing Sciences will be aimed at graduate students and postdoctoral investigators, as well as professionals and academics. It is intended to function as a high-profile and up-to-date reference work on Translational Research in the auditory sciences, emphasizing research programs in the traditional areas including drugs and devices, as well as less traditional, still emerging, areas such as sensorineural hearing loss, auditory processing disorder, cochlear implants and hearing aids, and tinnitus therapies.

Download or read book Handbook of the Historiography of Biology written by Michael Dietrich and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook offers original, critical perspectives on different approaches to the history of biology. This collection is intended to start a new conversation among historians of biology regarding their work, its history, and its future. Historical scholarship does not take place in isolation: As historians create their narratives describing the past, they are in dialogue not only with their sources but with other historians and other narratives. One important task for the historian is to place her narrative in a historiographic lineage. Each author in this collection offers their particular perspective on the historiography of a range of topics from Model Organisms to Eugenics, Molecular Biology to Biotechnology, Women, Race, Scientific Biography, Genetics, Darwin and more. Rather than comprehensive literature reviews, the essays critically reflect upon important historiographic trends, offering pointed appraisals of the field by leading scholars. Other authors will surely have different perspectives, and this is the beauty and challenge of history-making. The Handbook of the Historiography of Biology presents an opportunity to engage with each other about how the history of biology has been and will be written.

Download or read book Baltic Eugenics written by Björn M. Felder and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of eugenics in the Baltic States is largely unknown. The book compares for the first time the eugenic projects of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and the related disciplines of racial anthropology and psychiatry, and situates them within the wider European context. Strong ethno-nationalism defined the nation as a biological group, which was fostered by authoritarian regimes established in Lithuania in 1926, and in Estonia and Latvia in 1934. The eugenics projects were designed to establish a nation in biological terms. Their aims were to render the nation ethnically, genetically and racially homogeneous. The main agenda was a non-democratic state that defined its population in biological terms. Eugenic policies were to regenerate the nation and to reconstruct it as a “pure” and “original” race, Such schemes for national regeneration contained strong elements of secular religion.
