The Flower of Paradise: The Institutionalized Use of the Drug Qat in North Yemen (Culture, Illness and Healing #10)

This book concerns the use of the drug qat in North Yemen (Yemen Arab Republic), a country lying on the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. However, because this substance is so interwoven into the fabric of society and culture, it is also necessarily about Yemen itself. The history and culture of South Arabia are still relatively unknown to the rest of the world, and the drug qat, so widely used there, is equally unknown. Thus, the material we present here should be of interest to all of those concerned with drug use, those who wish to understand more about Yemen and the Middle East, and to the Yemenis themselves. Another purpose is to develop some general understandings about sub­ stance uses and their effects which are less clouded by the mass hysteria and political considerations which often obscure drug issues in our own society. Examination of drug-use patterns in a country where millions of people are users on a regular basis, and where there has been familiarity with the drug for several hundred years, offers an opportunity to achieve perspectives not possible in countries with different attitudes and without such histories. I am not sanguine about the prospects of our abilities to learn from others or from the past, but I do not think we should abandon hope of doing so.

Flower Remedies

Developed in the late 1920s and early 1930s by Dr Edward Bach, an inspirational physician and homeopath, flower remedies are now used throughout the world and are widely acknowledged for their gentle yet profound qualities.

Flowering Plants: Evolution and Classification of Higher Categories Symposium, Hamburg, September 8–12, 1976 (Plant Systematics and Evolution - Supplementa #1)

The original suggestion to organize a symposium about the classi­ fication and evolution of the Flowering Plants was made at, the International Botanical Congress at Leningrad in 1975, and the idea was so well accepted by several colleagues that plans for such a symposium quickly took shape. An organizing committee consisting of Professor H. MERXMULLER, Miinchen, Professor V. H. HEYWOOD, Reading, and Professor K. KUBITZKI, Hamburg, was set up. The conference took place on 7-12 September 197tl in the Institut fiir Allgemeine Botanik of the University of Hamburg under the auspices of the International Association for Plant Taxonomy and was at­ tended by 80 participants from 14 countries. There have been several meetings in recent years which have dealt with the origin and evolution of the Flowering Plants so that it might be questioned whether yet another symposium dealing with more or less the same subject were really "justified. As the reader will see from the contents of the book, this symposium differed from similar ones held recently in two respects: 1. Emphasis was given to methodological aspects of the classification of higher taxa, and 2. much classificatory and evolutionary evidence relating to the higher taxa of Flowering Plants was presented.

Flucht vor dem Gewissen: Analyse von Über-Ich und Abwehr bei schweren Neurosen

Bei der psychoanalytischen Behandlung schwerer, aber nicht psychotischer Psychopathologie führt die konsequente und taktvolle, also nicht autoritäre Analyse der inneren Konflikte zu wesentlich anderen Ergebnissen im Vergleich zum heute verbreiteten Verständnis als Borderline-Pathologie. Die meisten schweren Neurosen brauchen eine gleichzeitige Kombination verschiedener Modalitäten. Dabei stellt sich dynamisch der Wiederholungszwang als eine Flucht vor dem Gewissen dar, die mißlingt. Dieser Zwang stellt eine Abfolge von Lösungen zu Loyalitätskonflikten und zum Schuld-Scham-Dilemma dar. Der Autor beschreibt anhand eingehend reflektierter Gespräche mit Patienten diese Problematik, in der die absoluten, aber widerstreitenden Über-Ich-Forderungen, die absoluten, aber im Widerspruch stehenden Affekte und Wünsche, die globale Identifizierung, Verleugnung, Verdrängung und massive Introjektion der Traumata zum Phänomen der Identitätsspaltung führen.

Flüchtlinge in der Altenpflegeausbildung: Eine empirische Studie (Best of Pflege)

Elke Strelow befragt Flüchtlinge aus den Ländern Syrien, Afghanistan und dem Irak, die sich im ersten Ausbildungsjahr zum Altenpfleger befinden. Dabei geht es vor allem um das Erleben der Auszubildenden, die eine professionelle Altenpflege aus ihren Herkunftsländern nicht kennen. Die Versorgung von alten Menschen findet dort im familiären Umfeld statt und wird überwiegend von Frauen durchgeführt. Körpernahe Verrichtungen, wie sie in der Altenpflege täglich vorkommen, sind insbesondere bei gegengeschlechtlichen Personen in islamisch geprägten Kulturen weitestgehend verboten.

Fluid Mechanics for Cardiovascular Engineering: A Primer

This book provides a guiding thread between the distant fields of fluid mechanics and clinical cardiology. Well rooted in the science of fluid dynamics, it drives the reader across progressively more realistic scenarios up to the complexity of routine medical applications. Based on the author’s 25 years of collaborations with cardiologists, it helps engineers learn communicating with clinicians, yet maintaining the rigor of scientific disciplines. This book starts with a description of the fundamental elements of fluid dynamics in large blood vessels. This is achieved by introducing a rigorous physical background accompanied by examples applied to the circulation, and by presenting classic and recent results related to the application of fluid dynamics to the cardiovascular physiology. It then explores more advanced topics for a physics-based understanding of phenomena effectively encountered in clinical cardiology. It stands as an ideal learning resource for physicists and engineers working in cardiovascular fluid dynamics, industry engineers working on biomedical/cardiovascular technology, and students in bio-fluid dynamics. Written with a concise style, this textbook is accessible to a broad readership, including students, physical scientists and engineers, offering an entry point into this multi-disciplinary field. It includes key concepts exemplified by illustrations using cutting-edge imaging, references to modelling and measurement technologies, and includes unique original insights.
