Author: Simone RödderPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400720858
Category : Social Science

Pages : 375
Book Description
The Yearbook addresses the overriding question: what are the effects of the ‘opening up’ of science to the media? Theoretical considerations and a host of empirical studies covering different configurations provide an in-depth analysis of the sciences’ media connection and its repercussions on science itself. They help to form a sound judgement on this recent development.

Category : Biography & Autobiography

Pages : 404
Book Description
The year is 1961, the place, Ireland. Inside a monastery is Brendan O'Kane who, at thirteen years of age, has been recruited into the Irish Christian Brothers. Does he have a true vocation? The recurring doubt causes him sleepless nights. Furthermore, he is confused about his awakening sexuality, repressed totally as it is by the Catholic Church in Ireland of the sixties and by his vow of chastity. Years later, he is faced with a momentous decision: he must decide once and for all if the price he has paid has really been worth it . . . INSIDE will strike a chord with many who grew up in the fifties and sixties, who remember the smells of the classroom and dancehall in those pre-deodorant days, the taste of fried bread and the sounds of the hymns and popular songs of the era - not to mention the swish of the leather strap. INSIDE is a must for those who have had their own experience of the Brothers - or who may have heard about them in recent news stories worldwide - and who would like to know what made them tick, what made them so successful in their heyday, and what made some of them, at least, dysfunctional. Other works on a similar theme: THE BOYS OF ST VINCENT'S (Canadian tv docudrama), THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND (Australian film), THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS (Australian one-man-play), and from Ireland, STATES OF FEAR (tv documentary), GIVE UP YER AULD SINS (animation), THE MAGDALENE SISTERS (film) and SONG FOR A RAGGY BOY (novel and film).

Book Description
Many public and private sector organizations around the world have initiated a reliability and asset management program to drive efficiencies, mitigate risks and manage the asset throughout the entire lifecycle. However, it's well known that more than seventy percent of those implementations fail to become a long-term sustainable solution, and some of them never get off the ground!The development and implementation of a reliability and asset management program most often focuses on the technical aspects of the journey and not the cultural journey itself. The journey is filled with challenges, barriers, difficult decisions, successes and failures. How does one understand these items and how should they be approached in advance of the journey?The Uptime® Elements Implementation Virtual Special Interest Group (vSIG) was assembled to analyze the reliability and asset management program journey to glean and present the wisdom,advice and recommendations of those who have made the journey utilizing the five domains of the Uptime Elements. Contributors to this implementation guide have made "the journey," and thus gained experience in developing, implementing and/or operating a reliability and asset management program. They've experienced the ups and downs, the successes and failures and the barriers and challenges, and have the change management experience required to create valuable and sustainable reliability and asset management solutions.The output of this vSIG has resulted in this Uptime Elements Implementation Guide. Second Edition. This guide is all about the cultural journey, not the technical details.

Author: The Physiology of Exercise in Spinal Cord Injury
Author: J. Andrew TaylorPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1493966642
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Every year, around the world, between 250,000 and 500,000 people suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI). Those with an SCI are two to five times more likely to die prematurely than people without a spinal cord injury, with worse survival rates in low- and middle-income countries. Dynamic aerobic requires integrated physiologic responses across the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, autonomic, pulmonary, thermoregulatory, and immunologic systems. Moreover, regular aerobic exercise beneficially impacts these same systems, reducing the risk for a range of diseases and maladies. This book will present comprehensive information on the unique physiologic effects of SCI and the potential role of exercise in treating and mitigating these effects. In addition, it will incorporate work from scientists across a number of disciplines and have contributors at multiple levels of investigation and across physiologic systems. Furthermore, SCI can be considered an accelerated form of aging due to the severely restricted physical inactivity imposed, usually at an early age. Therefore, the information presented may have a broader importance to the physiology of aging as it relates to inactivity. Lastly, the need for certain levels of regular aerobic exercise to engender adaptations beneficial to health is not altered by the burden of an SCI. Indeed, the amounts of exercise necessary may be even greater than the able-bodied due to ‘passive’ ambulation. This book will also address the potential health benefits for those with an SCI that can be realized if a sufficient exercise stimulus is provided.
