Abstract

Rhinoplasty is one of the defining procedures of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Its roots stem from early efforts in nasal reconstruction to the emergence of modern rhinoplasty. This book describes the latest clinical and research perspectives in rhinoplasty and balances structural correction with aesthetic refinement. With treatises on rhinoplasty from a diverse set of thought leaders from around the world, the collective experience of this books' authors cover cosmetic and reconstructive approaches with a wealth of proven and innovative approaches ranging from minor refinement to major reconstruction. This diversity reflects the inherent complexity of the art and science of rhinoplasty. Discussion of structural approaches is balanced by consideration of judicious resection and refinement. The overarching goal is to instill an understanding of the subtleties of nasal structure and how the natural complexities of nasal anatomy can be adapted to maximize both function and natural appearance.

Abstract

Cooperative planning is a potent approach for steering quality settlement development inwards. With the combination of (special) use plans and urban development contracts, they come into play where traditional spatial planning is unable to reliably achieve the desired spatial planning due to a lack of agreements with landowners or investors. While private individuals benefit from a better use of their land, the state gains influence on the "if" and "how" of the constructional realization of this land. The considerable urban planning significance of cooperative planning is contrasted by constitutional concerns about the method. Cooperative planning runs the risk of shortchanging legitimate public and third-party interests and of overreaching to the private cooperating party because of the state's bidding power in the area of land use planning. This book shows ways how cooperative planning can be designed according to rule-of-law standards and thus be strengthened.

Abstract

This book demonstrates specific osteotomy techniques from the skull to the hallux. The role of osteotomy in the correction of deformity is under appreciated in part because of the ubiquitous nature of joint replacement surgery. It should be remembered, however, that osteotomy has a role to play in the correction of deformity in the growing child, the active young adult, and patients of any age with post-traumatic deformity limiting function and enjoyment of life. In this text we bring you a number of papers defining specific problems for which osteotomy is found to be an effective and lasting solution. I hope you find it useful.

Abstract

This is an open access book. Colorectal surgery is one of the most performed procedures in dedicated colorectal and general surgery units worldwide. In the last two decades, the minimally invasive laparoscopic approach has become very popular worldwide, attracting great interest among patients (lower risk of infection, less pain, and faster recovery) and demonstrating excellent oncological results. Technology is improving rapidly, offering revolutionary innovations, particularly with the advent of robotic surgery, which offers important advantages over laparoscopy for both surgeons and patients: improved ergonomics, wristed instruments, and a better vision. These advantages may be particularly useful for more complex and challenging situations (complete mesocolic excision, low rectal cancer, one-stage treatment of colorectal and liver metastases, etc.), translating into potential improved surgical and oncological results. Although several books have been published onthe subject, the great interest in robotic surgery makes it mandatory, in our opinion, to have a general update in view of the latest technical innovations and the results of the most relevant and recent literature. The book is divided into chapters dealing with the different colorectal segments with their robotic surgical operations and specific technical variants. The new frontiers of benign and emergency colorectal diseases are also considered, as well as the new robotic platforms recently introduced in the healthcare market. Some of them, such as the da Vinci SP single port device, may represent a revolutionary approach for this surgery. Training and cost aspects were also considered.

Abstract

Se fondant sur une riche documentation inédite, cette étude montre que, contrairement à l’idée selon laquelle les biens d’une fondation pieuse (waqf) sont inaliénables, de nombreux biens affectés à des waqfs de Jérusalem entre 1858 et 1917 étaient offerts, vendus, spoliés, donnés en héritage ou transformés en propriétés privées, par des voies légales ou illégales. À partir de nombreuses sources de première main (archives conservées en Palestine, en Jordanie, en Turquie, en France, en Allemagne et au Royaume-Uni), l’auteur examine les modalités selon lesquelles, dans le cadre du droit musulman et de la législation ottomane, un bien waqf pouvait changer de statut et devenir une propriété privée. Il met en lumière les stratégies et les procédures par lesquelles différents acteurs ont participé à cette transformation et montre comment, à travers divers types de contrats, les gestionnaires des waqfs, ainsi que les représentants des autorités politiques et religieuses locales, du pouvoir ottoman et des puissances étrangères, ont contribué à s’approprier les biens affectés à ces waqfs dans le cadre d’intérêts personnels ou collectifs. Durant les six dernières décennies ottomanes, le paysage foncier de Jérusalem fut ainsi profondément bouleversé.

Abstract

LA DAME ESCOILLEE (NRCF,83) La Dame escoillee è un fabliau anonimo composto nel Nord della Francia intorno alla metà del Duecento: l’autore offre una versione per molti aspetti originale della celeberrima “Bisbetica domata”, un nucleo narrativo assai prolifico nella letteratura e nel folclore, dal quale trae spunto anche la nota commedia di William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew. Il racconto antico-francese è per molti versi affine a un coevo Schwankmäre medio-alto tedesco, la Vrouwen Zuht di Sibote: entrambi gli autori tendono ad accentuare la valenza esemplare della vicenda narrata e ad attenuarne i risvolti comici, attuando trasformazioni profonde rispetto al nucleo narrativo di partenza. La rielaborazione in chiave misogina e moraleggiante proposta dai due racconti raggiunge il culmine nell’episodio conclusivo, tutto giocato sull’ambiguo confine tra violenza e ruse, scherzo e verità, realtà e finzione: se le altre ricorrenze del motivo tendono a fare della megera una figura essenzialmente comica ed esaltano perciò gli aspetti buffi e farseschi del nucleo narrativo di partenza, i due testi medievali si chiudono invece sulla terribile e brutale punizione della “Virago”, che viene appunto evirata e costretta finalmente mediante la violenza a sottomettersi al potere maschile che aveva osato sfidare. Di là dalle implicazioni antropologiche e psicologiche inquietanti sottese alla vicenda, rimane in primo piano il messaggio di cui il fabliau vuol essere portatore, principalmente rivolgendosi alla coeva società aristocratica chiamata a reggere e difendere lo status quo: l’immagine snaturata e mostruosa della “Dama castrata” si propone infatti come il rovescio del ritratto cortese della donna, la sua immagine grottesca spinta sino alle estreme conseguenze al fine di mettere in guardia gli uomini sposati rispetto alla necessità di mantenere ben saldo il confine tra realtà e finzione letteraria. Il libro offre anzitutto una nuova analisi delle procedure narrative,…

Abstract

To learn how hospital labor and delivery units can achieve effective and sustainable teamwork practices and how much such practices affect staff experiences and patient outcomes, RAND researchers studied five units as they implemented improvements in their teamwork practices over a one-year period. They identified some key factors required by any given strategy for teamwork improvement but no standard template for implementation.

Abstract

The International Workshop on Models and Analysis of Vocal Emissions for Biomedical Applications (MAVEBA) came into being in 1999 from the particularly felt need of sharing know-how, objectives and results between areas that until then seemed quite distinct such as bioengineering, medicine and singing. MAVEBA deals with all aspects concerning the study of the human voice with applications ranging from the neonate to the adult and elderly. Over the years the initial issues have grown and spread also in other aspects of research such as occupational voice disorders, neurology, rehabilitation, image and video analysis. MAVEBA takes place every two years always in Firenze, Italy.
