The end of medicine as we know it - and why your health has a future - Harald H.h.w. Schmidt - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The end of medicine as we know it - and why your health has a future - Harald H.h.w. Schmidt - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Medicine itself is sick. We hardly understand any disease and therefore need to chronically treat symptoms but not the causes. Consequently, drugs and other therapies help only very few patients; yet we are pumping more and more money into our healthcare system without any added value.Thus, the internationally renowned physician researcher, Harald Schmidt, predicts the end of medicine as we know it. On a positive note, digitization will radically change healthcare and lead to one of the greatest socioeconomic revolutions of mankind. He is one of the pioneers of "systems medicine", a complete redefinition of what we actually call a "disease", how we organize medicine and how we use Big Data to heal rather than treat, to prevent rather than cure. In this book the author first proves the deep crisis of medicine, but describes how medicine will become more precise, more uniform, safer and, surprisingly, also more affordable. Making a diagnosis will be taken over by artificial intelligence. Current, mainly organ-based medical specialists, disciplines and hospital departments will disappear. Physicians will become patient coaches working in interdisciplinary teams with pharmacists, physiotherapists, nutritionists, etc. and relieved of their workload. Illnesses, including cancer, will be prevented or cured in a precise manner. We will become 100 years and older. Health care spending will shift from chronic treatment of diseases to prevention and health maintenance, thereby dramatically reducing overall costs. Health will become a common good. But Harald Schmidt also warns that those who are not open to digitization will not benefit from these advances and will be left behind. Anyone who wants to benefit from the revolution of medicine must have a digital twin. Is this futurism? No, each of us can have his or her personal genome sequenced, microbiome analyzed, keep an electronic health record. The future has begun. Schmidt convincingly explains the limitations in the current practice of medicine and the need for big data and a systems approach. Prof. Ferid Murad MD, PhD, Nobel Laureate in Medicine 1998, USA Network Medicine, a new discipline that offers a network-based understanding of the cell and disease, is unavoidable if we wish to translate the advances in genomics into cures. Professor Harald Schmidt, a prominent expert in this space, offers the first coherent treatment of the topic, explaining the potential of a network-based perspective of human disease. Prof. Albert-László Barabási, Northeastern University and Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA Visionary, provocative, and full of insights. Professor Schmidt gives a unique and authoritative perspective to the past, present and future of medical science and clinical practice. And all presented in such an inimitable style.

EU Migration Management and the Social Purpose of European Integration - Harald Koepping Athanasopoulos - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG -

EU Migration Management and the Social Purpose of European Integration - Harald Koepping Athanasopoulos - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG -

This book provides a critical analysis of irregular migration to Europe from a neo-Gramscian perspective. It demonstrates how the contemporary EU migration management regime came about within the context of a neoliberal hegemonic project, which in turn was advanced using neofunctionalist methods of integration. Relying on field research that was carried out in Bulgaria, Italy, Germany and Greece, the book also describes how European migration management is experienced by irregular migrants themselves. It suggests that the social purpose of migration management cannot be understood without assessing the experiences of the objects of migration regimes. The 2015 migration crisis revealed that large-scale migration has the potential to undermine some of the greatest achievements of the European integration project such as the Schengen system and open internal borders. This book shows that this fragility is the result of inherent contradictions within the neoliberal hegemonic project for the European Union. As such this book is an interesting read for academics, students, policy makers and all those working in international migration and European integration.

Financial Capital in the 21st Century - Achim Szepanski - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Financial Capital in the 21st Century - Achim Szepanski - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The book''s central theme is to develop a new theory of speculative capital related to other forms of capital, the world market, and the state. Unlike most Marxist and heterodox theories, the book distinguishes credit and fictitious capital from speculative capital to show its hegemony today in the capital markets. Speculative capital structures and also controls the so-called "real capital." The method is Marxist while also incorporating material from contemporary Marxist and heterodox authors like John Milios, Robert Meister, Tony Norfeld, Li Puma, Harald Strauß, Michael Heinrich, Suhail Malik, Bichler/Nitzan and Ellie Ayache. Offering a comprehensive study of the logic and mode of existence of capital in the 21 st century, the book will be of interest to academics and students of monetary and financial economics alongside political economy.

Silent Film Performance - Elisabetta Girelli - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Silent Film Performance - Elisabetta Girelli - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a groundbreaking exploration of silent film performance. It combines close reading of silent screen acting with theoretically informed analysis, stressing the overlap between different performative arts, such as film and stage acting, dance, mime, and pantomime. The boundary between silent and sound films is also challenged. Anna Pavlova''s acting in The Dumb Girl of Portici is read through Freud''s work on the uncanny, disability studies, and notions of intermediality. Vladimir Mayakovsky''s performance in The Young Lady and the Hooligan is approached as a silent soliloquy and a representation of loneliness. Ivan Mozzhukhin''s tour de force in The Late Mathias Pascal is discussed through a queer failure lens, while Pola Negri''s presence in Hotel Imperial is analysed with the aid of texts on wartime anxiety. Harald Kreutzberg''s stunning number in Paracelsus is examined in the light of theories of mime and pantomime, arguing for its subversive potential in a Third Reich sound film.

Kings, Usurpers, and Concubines in the 'Chronicles of the Kings of Man and the Isles' - R. Andrew Mcdonald - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG -

Kings, Usurpers, and Concubines in the 'Chronicles of the Kings of Man and the Isles' - R. Andrew Mcdonald - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG -

This Palgrave Pivot explores the representation of sea kings, sinners, and saints in the mid-thirteenth century Chronicles of the Kings of Man and the Isles , the single most important text for the history of the kingdoms of Man and the Isles, c.1066-1300. The focus of the Chronicles on the power struggles, plots and intrigues within the ruling dynasties of Man and the Isles offers an impressive array of heroes and villains. The depiction of the activities of heroic sea kings like Godred Crovan, tyrannical usurpers like Harald son of Godred Don, and their concubines and wives, as well as local heroes like Saint Maughold, raises important questions concerning the dynamic interactions of power, gender and historical writing in the medieval Kingdoms of Man and the Isles, and provide new insights into the significance of the text that is our most important source of information on these ''Forgotten Kingdoms'' of the medieval British Isles.

A Generalization of Bohr-Mollerup's Theorem for Higher Order Convex Functions - Jean Luc Marichal - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

A Generalization of Bohr-Mollerup's Theorem for Higher Order Convex Functions - Jean Luc Marichal - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

In 1922, Harald Bohr and Johannes Mollerup established a remarkable characterization of the Euler gamma function using its log-convexity property. A decade later, Emil Artin investigated this result and used it to derive the basic properties of the gamma function using elementary methods of the calculus. Bohr-Mollerup''s theorem was then adopted by Nicolas Bourbaki as the starting point for his exposition of the gamma function.This open access book develops a far-reaching generalization of Bohr-Mollerup''s theorem to higher order convex functions, along lines initiated by Wolfgang Krull, Roger Webster, and some others but going considerably further than past work. In particular, this generalization shows using elementary techniques that a very rich spectrum of functions satisfy analogues of several classical properties of the gamma function, including Bohr-Mollerup''s theorem itself, Euler''s reflection formula, Gauss'' multiplication theorem, Stirling''s formula, and Weierstrass'' canonical factorization.The scope of the theory developed in this work is illustrated through various examples, ranging from the gamma function itself and its variants and generalizations (q-gamma, polygamma, multiple gamma functions) to important special functions such as the Hurwitz zeta function and the generalized Stieltjes constants. This volume is also an opportunity to honor the 100th anniversary of Bohr-Mollerup''s theorem and to spark the interest of a large number of researchers in this beautiful theory.
