Annals of Life Insurance Medicine: 1964 Volume II

One thousand unselected patients with bronchial asthma have been followed up for an average period of 11 years, with extremes of 33 years and three years. The average period from the first symptoms to the date of follow-up was 20.6 years in the 562 males and 22.3 years in the 438 females, with extremes of 72 years and three years. Since throughout the analysis no differences were found between the sexes, they have been grouped together. Terms used, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, childhood bronchitis, age of onset, etc., have been carefully defined, as have the descriptions of intermittent and continuous asthma. The present state of the patients has been classified as A (good), B (fair), C (poor), and D (dead). Early age of onset (before 16) and intermittent asthma were associated and had a more favourable prognosis, while the childhood bronchitic had a better outlook than the adult bronchitic. Intermittent and continuous asthma have been compared. The incidence of bronchitis initially was higher in the continuous group, and the tendency to develop bronchitis over the years (present in all asthmatics) was also greater in the continuous group. Those with bronchitis were in much poorer health on follow-up than those without.

Annals of Life Insurance Medicine 6: Proceedings of the 13th International Congress of Life Assurance Medicine Madrid 1979

Today, the integration of life insurance medicine into the framework of general medicine goes without saying. On the one hand, the diagnostic therapeutic knowledge of clinical medical science forms the tools of the insurance medical adviser for the evaluation of life insurance applications. On the other hand, life insurance medicine has been able to pro­ vide valuable statistical data for long-term prognosis which have become an essential part of the daily medical practice and prognostic appraisal. This mutual engagement and en­ richment has again distinctly manifested itself in the scientific program of the 13th Con­ gress of Life Assurance Medicine held in Madrid. Among the broad and varied data available, the insurance problem of cancer and ma­ lignant diseases of the haematopoietic system were extensively dealt with for the first time. Diagnostic therapeutic progress increasingly allows valuable insurance cover to be granted to formerly uninsurable risks, a group which is particularly in need of, and re­ quires, life insurance cover. The number of risks which are uninsurable becomes smaller and smaller.

The Scientific View of Sport: Perspectives, Aspects, Issues

progress and happiness - however these terms may be understood in detail - as a significant and constitutive element of scientific inquiry. In this sense the question of the way in which sport really benefits people and contributes to their happiness, and under which individual and social conditions, is a scientific question. It assumes special significance when the fact is taken into account that in the field of sport science a general scepticism is shown towards those dogmas and pedagogical theses which take such an interpretation for granted in the absence of a firm empirical foundation and a critically evolved theory. Sport and Sport Science Sport and exercise, physical culture and education in sport (physical training), gymnastics and touring combined with some form of sport are-as the present report distinctly shows-all over the world among the most striking social phenom­ ena of today. At first sight they seem to be uncomplicated, clear and comprehensible for everybody; they stand for a type of solidarity which is independent of differences in ideological-political outlook, and sometimes exhibit an almost archaic intensity and attraction; they are supported by the active participation or at least the interest of very many people in many parts of the world and are endued with specific func­ tions, varying in importance, of a medical (therapeutical, prophylactic, rehabilitative), pedagogical, psychological and social character.

The Spanish Language in the Digital Age (White Paper Series)

This white paper is part of a series that promotes knowledge about language technology and its potential. It addresses educators, journalists, politicians, language communities and others. The availability and use of language technology in Europe varies between languages. Consequently, the actions that are required to further support research and development of language technologies also differ for each language. The required actions depend on many factors, such as the complexity of a given language and the size of its community. META-NET, a Network of Excellence funded by the European Commission, has conducted an analysis of current language resources and technologies. This analysis focused on the 23 official European languages as well as other important national and regional languages in Europe. The results of this analysis suggest that there are many significant research gaps for each language. A more detailed expert analysis and assessment of the current situation will help maximise the impact of additional research and minimize any risks. META-NET consists of 54 research centres from 33 countries that are working with stakeholders from commercial businesses, government agencies, industry, research organisations, software companies, technology providers and European universities. Together, they are creating a common technology vision while developing a strategic research agenda that shows how language technology applications can address any research gaps by 2020.

International Law of Victims

After having ignored victims, only recently both domestic and international law have begun to pay attention to them. As a consequence, different international norms related to victims have progressively been introduced. These are norms generally characterized by a certain concept from the perspective of victims, as well as by the enumeration of a list of rights to which they are entitle to; rights upon which the international statute of victims is built. In reverse, these catalogues of rights are the states’ obligations. Most of these rights are already existent in the international law of human rights. Consequently, they are not new but consolidated rights. Others are strictly linked to victims, concerning the following categories: victims of crime, victims of abuse of power, victims of gross violations of international human rights law, victims of serious violations of international humanitarian law, victims of enforced disappearance, victims of violations of international criminal law and victims of terrorism.

El Cielo Vs La Reencarnación La Historieta

Este libro es una pequeña versión basada en los dibujos animados de mi historieta - "El Cielo vs. La Reencarnación" escrito por Dharma. Como dice el refrán, una imagen vale más que 1.000 palabras, así que espero que al usar dibujos pueda expresar mi punto de vista con una mayor claridad. Nuestros puntos de vista sobre Dios y la Religión se han estancado en el pasado; seguimos reciclando una y otra vez ideas escritas en el pasado sin siquiera cuestionarlas. El hecho de que un libro se haya escrito hace 1.000 o 2.000 años, no implica que las personas de esa época tengan una idea especial ni mucho menos que los dioses caminaban en la tierra durante esos días. Nuestros ancestros no eran malas personas, simplemente escribieron lo que ellos consideraban correcto, expresaron SU visión de Dios, influenciados por las vidas que vivían en ese momento. Los reyes, emperadores y dictadores gobernaban de forma brutal, exigiendo obediencia y lealtad ciegas a cambio de sus favores. y esa fue la plantilla para Dios, o al menos para las religiones más grandes como el cristianismo y el islam, las cuales son dominantes en el mundo al día de hoy. Así que ponte de rodillas, suplica misericordia, jura lealtad al Rey y serás recompensado; Esa era la vida en ese momento y esas fueron las ideas que se escribieron y transmitieron de una generación a otra, lamentablemente la gran mayoría de la humanidad todavía sigue ciegamente tales ideas incluso hoy en la actualidad. Aunque la vida de hoy es muy diferente. A través de mis libros espero cambiar el discurso, difundir nuevas ideas y brindar nuevos puntos de vista sobre la religión y la espiritualidad.

Big Barrels: El Petróleo y el Gas de África y la Búsqueda de Prosperidad

Big Barrels apunta a la percepción de que, en África, el petróleo y el gas no son benefciosos. Durante décadas, la riqueza de recursos en el África Subsahariana ha sido sinónimo de corrupción y disfunción. La realidad es mucho más compleja y generalmente más alentadora. En una serie de estudios de ocho casos, Big Barrels examina lo que las naciones africanas están haciendo bien. El empleo y la iniciativa de Nigeria, la buena gobernanza de Ghana, el desarrollo económico de Tanzania, la administración medioambiental de Gabón y más – todos ellas son muestras del éxito actual de las industrias petrolíferas en las naciones africanas. Aquí se presentan tanto las tendencias positivas en el sector energético africano, como sus desafíos. Big Barrels expone los hechos sobre cómo el petróleo y el gas pueden suponer una fuerza para el benefcio del Continente Madre.
