  Snakebite: Challenges, opportunities and advancements in diagnostics

  Snakebite is one of the most life-threatening conditions that kill millions of people every year and deteriorated the life conditions of many due to amputation and other long-term disabilities. Unlike other diseases and conditions, snakebite is very complex and its diagnostics and treatment are very challenging due to many variables. In the current book, we have presented comprehensive information about the epidemiology of snakebite, venom evolution, venom chemistry, venom variability, venomics (venom proteomics), challenges, and advances in snake bite diagnostics and therapeutics. We have also highlighted many important issues related to snake envenomation. Finally, a discussion on the future road map to address problems and challenges associated with this complex problem is delineated.

  Geopolitik zur Einführung

  Geopolitik ist wieder in Mode. Von Gaspipelines als Lebensadern ist die Rede, von der Amputation von Territorien oder auch vom Willen, eine Landbrücke zu einer Enklave herzustellen. Staaten werden offensichtlich in Analogie zu Lebensformen betrachtet: Nicht Staaten, sondern Lebensformen fehlt die Luft zum Atmen, benötigen mehr Raum oder leiden unter Gebietsverlusten wie ein verstümmelter Körper. Bereits der Taufpate der Geopolitik, Rudolf Kjellén, betrachtet Staaten als "geographische Organismen". Diese entwickeln sich, wie alles Leben, in einer spezifi schen Umwelt, und für einen Darwinisten folgt daraus: Sie führen einen struggle for existence und passen sich der jeweiligen Umgebung an. Daher sind Landmächte anders als Seemächte. Der Raum wird zum evolutionären Faktor ersten Ranges, ja, zu einem politischen Akteur.

  The Left-Armed Corps (eBook, ePUB)

  The Left-Armed Corps collects and annotates a unique and little-known body of Civil War literature: narrative sketches, accounts, and poetry by veterans who lost the use of their right arms due to wounds sustained during the conflict and who later competed in left-handed penmanship contests in 1865 and 1866. Organized by William Oland Bourne, the contests called on men who lost limbs while fighting for the Union to submit "specimens" of their best left-handed "business" writing in the form of personal statements. Bourne hoped the contests would help veterans reenter the work force and become economically viable citizens. Following Bourne's aims, the contests commemorated the sacrifices made by veterans and created an archive of individual stories detailing the recently ended conflict. However, the contestants and their entries also present visible evidence-in the form of surprisingly elegant or understandably sloppy handwriting specimens-of the difficulties veterans faced in adapting to life after the war and recovering from its traumas. Their written accounts relate the chaos of the battlefield, the agony of amputation, and the highs and lows of recovery. Editor Allison M. Johnson organizes the selections thematically in order to highlight issues crucial to the experiences of Civil War soldiers, veterans, and amputees, offering invaluable insights into the ways in which former fighting men understood and commemorated their service and sacrifice. A detailed introduction provides background information on the contests and comments on the literary and historical significance of the veterans and their writings. Chapter subjects include political and philosophical treatises by veterans, amateur but poignant poetic testaments, and graphic accounts of wounding and amputation. The Left-Armed Corps makes accessible this archive of powerful testimony and creative expression from Americans who fought to preserve the Union and end slavery.

  Gemachte Körper

  Wie werden in der Fabrik gemachte Körperteile zu 'eigenen' Körperteilen, eine Arm- oder Beinprothese zu 'meinem' Arm oder 'meinem' Bein?Inkorporierungsprozesse bedeuten weit mehr als die Anpassung einer Prothese. Prothesenträger_innen stehen in einem Spannungsverhältnis zwischen individuellen Bewältigungsstrategien und gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen an Körperbilder und Körpernormen.Entlang von fünf Fallbeispielen werden Faktoren, welche Momente der Ablehnung bzw. Annahme einer Prothese begünstigen, herausgearbeitet und als Teil eines kulturellen und sozialen Geflechts beleuchtet. Sprache, Peers, Sport, persönliche Erfahrungen und Lebenseinstellungen prägen den Umgang mit Amputation und Behinderung, mit der Prothese als Fremdkörper, als technologischem Artefakt und schließlich als einverleibtem Körperteil. Die Arbeit veranschaulicht beispielhaft Formen der individuellen, geschlechts- und kulturspezifischen Aneignung von Technik und verweist dabei auf die gesellschaftliche Unsichtbarkeit von weiblichen Prothesenträgerinnen.Das Buch ist eine Kulturanalyse an der Schnittstelle zwischen Kulturanthropologie, Disability Studies und Technikforschung.

  11 Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 271min

  When Roscoe Jones, a one-time trumpet prodigy, loses his finger, he loses more than his ability to play. Instead of becoming a musician, he becomes the superintendent of the Chicago apartment building where he has lived since birth. Very soon, his life is no longer his own; he fades into the background, plumbing and fixing and toiling for the tenants populating the 11 stories above him. Although they hardly notice him as anything but a working part of the building, he develops a sometimes uncomfortable intimacy with the details of their complicated lives. Every night, in the privacy of his basement quarters, alone with his secret longings, he plays his trumpet. That is until the evening he climbs to the roof to play in public for the first time in 50 years - and the course of his life is irrevocably changed. For some, losses may turn, unexpectedly, to gain. For Roscoe, the relationships he forms with the tenants - two, in particular - justify the amputation of his finger and the forfeiture of his dreams. This is a story about sacrifice and service, longing and love - and the abiding hopefulness of the human heart that connects us all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Magnus.

  Never a Hero: A Tucker Springs Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 294min

  Everyone deserves a hero. Owen Meade is desperately in need of a hero. Raised by a mother who made him ashamed of his stutter, his sexual orientation, and his congenitally amputated arm, Owen lives like a hermit in his Tucker Springs apartment. But then hunky veterinarian Nick Reynolds moves in downstairs. Nick is sexy and confident, and makes Owen comfortable with himself in a way nobody ever has. He also introduces Owen to his firecracker of a little sister, who was born with a similar congenital amputation but never let it stand in her way. When she signs the two of them up for piano lessons - and insists that they play together in a recital - Owen can't find a way to say no. Especially since it gives him a good excuse to spend more time with Nick. Owen knows he's falling hard for his neighbor, but every time he gets close, Nick inexplicably pulls away. Battling his mother's scorn and Nick's secrets, Owen soon realizes that instead of waiting for a hero, it's time to be one - for himself and for Nick. ungekürzt. Language: English.
