Abstract:

This book deals with the problem of human reason and thinking from a somewhat unexpected angle. Its main idea is that both are the product of evolution, and therefore they bear the imprint of their history, and they are mostly reduced to them, although they are not entirely limited to them. This means that they are by no means universal, on the contrary, they are conditioned by their very formation and the circumstances within which they developed and which literally created them as we know them. In practical terms, this suggests that they are aimed at solving the problems and the type that fa

Abstract:

Urodynamic studies encompass several tests to investigate the hydrodynamics of the lower urinary tract during bladder storage/filling and voiding. These tests include bladder diaries, free uroflowmetry, and post-void residuals, filling cystometry, voiding pressure/flow studies, urethral pressure profiles, leak point pressures, videourodynamics, ambulatory urodynamics, and electromyography. The tests are performed after formulating a urodynamics question to objectively observe lower urinary tract function and dysfunction with the idea of choosing an appropriate treatment for the pathology.

An efficient model for history-taking and physical examination of the spine using a current evidence-based approach provides the foundation for a targeted assessment and treatment plan.

Abstract:

ADHD is often comorbid with other psychiatric/neurodevelopmental disorders, and is associated with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in about half of all cases. Therefore, clinicians who are working with patients with ADHD need to be aware of the very strong association with motor impairment and should be able to diagnose motor control problems. There are evidence-based interventions for DCD, which makes it important for clinicians to be able to provide adequate assessment and early diagnosis. Several well-researched screening instruments are available, in particular the test of motor

Abstract:

In order for a scale to be useful, the user must be able to draw accurate conclusions about the presence or absence of the attribute being measured. This is the domain of validity. What validity is and how it is assessed has changed greatly over the past 40 years, although many who develop or validate scales are unaware of this. This chapter discusses what is meant by validity and how it is assessed. The major points are that: (1) validity is not a property of the test, but may change depending on the sample and the conditions under which the test is given, and (2) there are not different ‘typ

Titles in the Core Text series take the reader straight to the heart of the subject, providing focused, concise, and reliable guides for students at all levels. This chapter discusses the various remedies available to the claimant. In practice, by far the most common is an award of compensatory damages. In a few cases, the claimant may be able to exercise self-help. The claimant may sometimes be able to claim an injunction forbidding the defendant to continue with tortuous behaviour. Alternatively, the claimant may seek an award of money not calculated on compensatory principles.

Abstract:

It was in the ‘Balkan wars’ of the 1990s that the news media and the military started to understand the extent to which digital media were reshaping the craft of war reporting. Journalists were now able to report from behind enemy lines. War has always delivered the most severe test to journalistic independence. What are the challenges to journalists reporting news in a war situation? How objective can they be? ‘The first casualty: journalists at war’ charts the impact of the digital era on war reporting in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the rise of the Arabic television channel Al Jazeera.

Abstract:

This chapter provides a brief overview of the need for measurement in the health sciences. As interventions are increasingly aimed at improving subjective states, such as quality of life or pain, it becomes ever more important to be able to measure these accurately. This means that the items must be clear, unambiguous, and as free from biases as possible. Test constructors must also be aware of the different options for responding to the items. Finally, issues of reliability and validity need to be addressed. The chapter also has a ‘road map’ and flow chart, outlining the steps in scale constr

What is a fair income distribution? The empirical literature seems to assume that equal income would be fair, but the equal income answer faces two objections. First, equal income is likely to be inefficient. This book sets aside efficiency concerns as a downstream consideration; it seeks to identify a fair distribution. The second objection—pointed out by both leftist political philosopher G. A. Cohen and conservative economist Milton Friedman—is that equal income is unfair to the hardworking. Measuring labor burdens in order to adjust income shares, however, is no easy task. Some philosopher

The pathophysiology of EIA is not completely understood, but it has been shown that airway cooling and drying with increased ventilation during exercise and airway re-warming after exercise play a pivotal role.

Abstract:

Chapter four discusses the impact of colonial rule on traditional cultural and sporting pastimes and the new activities that emerged, most notably cricket. There are three case studies of mushairas (poetic contests), wrestling and cricket. The chapter reveals how their key participants in Lahore were able to perform on a wider stage because of the communications revolution. Nonetheless, they remained rooted in the mohallas and local institutions of the city. Lahore’s mushairas of the 1870s which received contributions from Muhammad Hussain Azad and Altaf Hussain Hali are seen as possessing an

Abstract:

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has a high prevalence and may be extremely bothersome. It is important for the general urologist to be able to assess, describe, and categorize this group of patients so that treatment, if appropriate, may be instigated. One must become accustomed to using the standardized terminology of the International Continence Society and be confident in differentiating other causes of incontinence from SUI. This chapter describes the anatomy and physiology of continence, as well as the important aspects of the patient history and examination. There are a multitude of te

Abstract:

Physicians have examined urine for over 6000 years. Urine microscopy was first employed to diagnose kidney disease in the seventeenth century and remains an indispensable tool. The value of urinalysis for diagnosis and management of renal and genitourinary disease is well accepted. Urinalysis aids in the diagnosis of renal disease especially in cases when a renal biopsy is not immediately available or is contraindicated. It is most informative when done by the treating physician with knowledge of the clinical context. Inspection is done by eye. Routine chemical analysis is done by dipstick but

Abstract:

This chapter explores the politics of color in Oscar Hammerstein's Carmen Jones by focusing on the various layers of representation in its stage and film versions. Carmen Jones uses lyrics that adopt common clichés of Negro speech and equates Georges Bizet's sexually liberated gypsy in Carmen with a lower-class African American woman. After providing a background on the circumstances, precedents, and models that inspired Hammerstein's conception of Carmen Jones, the chapter considers Hammerstein's transformation of the plot and his text-translation practice, along with the opera's exoticism, s

Abstract:

Johann Sebastian Bach set the poetic texts in the Christmas Oratorio—everything that isn’t gospel narrative or hymn stanza—to music he had originally composed for civic occasions. This raises many questions, particularly about the relation between liturgical and secular musical styles in the early eighteenth century. Bach clearly felt able to reuse this music in the Oratorio, but the listener can hear features of that work that point to nonliturgical origins, things that tend to happen more often (or only) in nonchurch pieces. Bach and his librettist found ways to connect the two worlds, ident

Abstract:

The aims of Islamic feminism are at once theological and socially reformist. Its proponents are often activists, as well as authors and scholars. It is linked to democratic reform movements within the Islamic world as well as to civil rights movements in Europe and the USA, and is supported by actors who resist the advances of patriarchal religious positions as well as Western secular definitions of modernity. Unlike secular feminists, proponents of Islamic feminism see the justification for their fight for women’s rights and gender equality in their own interpretation of Islam’s sacred text,
