Was bedeuten Totenkopfsymbole? Über die Medien- und Konsumkultur zieren sie das Erscheinungsbild von Waren und Menschen. Sie stiften Attitüden, die in den letzten Jahrzehnten verstärkt als attraktiv und cool, aber auch als geschmacklos und bedrohlich bewertet werden. Spätestens wenn machtvolle oder nach Macht strebende Gruppen das Symbol nutzen, stellt sich die Frage, was es signalisiert. Die Studie analysiert aus historisch-kulturanthropologischer Perspektive Totenkopfmotive bei Piraten, Husaren, Freikorps, SS und Halbstarken. Aus dem historischen Militärwesen heraus haben sie multiple Bedeutungen für die Moden in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart entfaltet: Erst wer die Geschichte kennt, vermag die Relevanz der teils stark belasteten Motive einzuschätzen.
"The image of the human skull is a universal icon, common throughout human civilization since time immemorial. "Skullture" takes a comprehensive approach to portraying how the image manifests in contemporary art, design and popular culture. This analysis includes visual and conceptual considerations of the skull throughout history, connecting the dots between Aztec religious iconography, Punk Rock and eighteenth century funerary practices without ever losing sight of the fact that, while fashion my change, the skull remains the same. "Skullture" presents diverse aesthetic uses of the skull as well as its various cultural resonances throughout all disciplines of art and design."--Back cover.
Nano- or micro-encapsulation is used in many different fields and industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and agrochemicals. It offers advantages for various applications, especially drug delivery. Nano-encapsulation can help extend and control the release of drugs as well as increase drug bioavailability and efficacy. It improves the precision of targeted drug delivery and allows for fabricating nano-encapsulated drugs for diagnostic and theranaostic applications. This book covers recent advances in fabricating nano-/micro-capsules using natural carriers for therapeutic and diagnostic drug delivery applications as well as rheology and formulations of micro-emulsions for diverse applications. This book is essential for scientists and researchers with diverse backgrounds in chemistry, engineering, material sciences, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery.
Fotos bearbeiten - präsentieren - bewerten Fotografie studieren – reicht es nicht einfach, gute Fotos zu machen? Eine Einbettung in größere Kontexte ist vor der Menge der verfügbaren Bilder elementar. Eine Einführung in wichtige Medientheorien und eine Definition der Fotografie bilden die Grundlage, auf der Fotografie als Aktion, Ritual, Therapie oder Methode dargestellt wird. Anschließend geht das Buch darauf ein, wie Bilder nach der Aufnahme verändert werden können, welche Präsentationsmöglichkeiten es gibt und anhand welcher Kriterien man Fotos bewerten kann. Merkkästen, Lesetipps und Übungen machen es zu einem zuverlässigen Arbeitsbuch für alle, die Fotografie studieren, professionell lernen oder verstehen möchten. Es geht nicht um das konkrete Fotografieren, sondern um dessen theoretische Reflektion.
This book is focused on the use of intelligent techniques, such as fuzzy logic, neural networks and bio-inspired algorithms, and their application in medical diagnosis. The main idea is that the proposed method may be able to adapt to medical diagnosis problems in different possible areas of the medicine and help to have an improvement in diagnosis accuracy considering a clinical monitoring of 24 hours or more of the patient. In this book, tests were made with different architectures proposed in the different modules of the proposed model. First, it was possible to obtain the architecture of the fuzzy classifiers for the level of blood pressure and for the pressure load, and these were optimized with the different bio-inspired algorithms (Genetic Algorithm and Chicken Swarm Optimization). Secondly, we tested with a local database of 300 patients and good results were obtained. It is worth mentioning that this book is an important part of the proposed general model; for this reason, we consider that these modules have a good performance in a particular way, but it is advisable to perform more tests once the general model is completed.
Skull Sourcebook explores the symbolism, meaning, and breathtaking, cultural art of the human skull, one of the most iconic symbols in the world.
This volume comprehensively reviews oncology in the precision medicine era of personalized care, latest developments in the field, and indications and clinical trials for the treatment of cancer with targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and epigenetic modulators. It thoroughly addresses concerns of various types of cancers including cancers of the head and neck, lung, colon, esophagus, bladder, pancreas, and breast; melanoma; multiple myeloma; hepatocellular carcinoma; renal cell carcinoma; and sarcomas. It is organized and written in a format that is easy to follow for both clinicians and non-clinical scientists interested in personalized medicine. Chapters cover the identification of the clinical problem and summary of recent findings, tumor biology and heterogeneity, genomics, examples of simple and complex cases, biological pathways, future clinical trials, and financial considerations. Oncology in the Precision Medicine Era: Value-Based Medicine will serve as a useful resource for medical oncologists and healthcare providers tailoring medicine to the needs of the individual patient, from prevention and diagnosis to treatment and follow up.
