Abstract:

The various articles which make up this book concern both modelling (numerical and analytical) and experimental activities in relation to aspects of environmental fluid dynamics. Issues dealt with include the dispersion of pollutants in both urban and extra-urban areas, the effect of obstacles on the flow and dispersion in the turbulent boundary layer, and the simulation of the planetary boundary layer in proximity with the earth's surface. There is also a discussion of advanced issues which are also of interest in the sphere of urban planning, such as "wind comfort" and the effects of the she

Abstract:

Despite being embedded in the practices and discourses of daily life, comfort and convenience are not terms around which theories and studies of consumption have traditionally revolved. Over the last decade or so, the tides of intellectual fashion have begun to turn, bringing the mundane into view and highlighting previously invisible dimensions of consumer culture. In reviewing changing interpretations of comfort and convenience, this article captures some of the processes through which the contours of social life are simultaneously sustained and transformed. It also examines how interpretati

Abstract:

Since ancient times, technological advances have increased man's chances for survival. From the practicality of a Roman aqueduct to the art of the written word, man has always adapted his environment to meet his needs, and to provide himself with sustenance, comfort, comfort, leisure, a higher quality of living, and a thriving culture. This concise reference source takes a closer look at six technological events that significantly impacted the evolution of civilization, from the Palaeolithic age to the height of the Roman Empire.

Abstract:

Chronic pelvic pain in women refers to ongoing pain in the lower abdomen that lasts for at least six months. This condition can vary in severity and frequency, and it may or may not be linked to a specific diagnosis. It affects physical comfort, emotional well-being, and day-to-day life. This article explains what chronic pelvic pain is, its different types, possible causes, and how to identify it through symptoms that may include persistent aches, pressure, or pain during specific activities. The article outlines common causes such as endometriosis, bladder issues, bowel problems, infections,

Abstract:

This chapter chronicles the gradual decline of the sense of touch as humanity enters the modern age. The sense of touch was gradually displaced from its social centrality during the later Middle Ages, giving way to a more eye-minded culture of modernity. The chapter recounts the many developments which contributed to the changing relevance of the tactile sense. However, rather than fade entirely from the modern purview, tactile experiences simply persisted in a variety of niches: physical therapies, the culture of comfort, the philosophy of sensation, and so on. The chapter also rounds out the

Abstract:

The period leading to death is characterized by increasing prevalence and intensity of physical, psychological, existential, and social concerns, and it is often a challenging time for patients, their families, and health-care providers. This chapter specifically addresses the most prevalent symptoms and concerns encountered when managing the actively dying patient. Symptoms affecting dying patients’ comfort, including pain, dyspnoea, delirium, terminal secretions, and refractory symptoms and suffering require different clinical management as death approaches.

Abstract:

Palliative sedation is a well-accepted therapy that should be considered in the rare situations when a terminally ill patient whose overriding goal is comfort experiences severe suffering that is refractory to all available standard palliative interventions. Typically, such suffering is caused by physical or neuropsychiatric symptoms such as pain, dyspnoea, vomiting, seizures, agitated delirium, anxiety, or depression. The level of sedation should be proportional to an individual patient’s suffering and should be just deep enough to provide the desired relief. In some cases, sedation to uncons

Abstract:

This book argues that the rampant hate-filled attacks against women online are best understood as patterned resistance to women’s political voice and visibility. This abuse and harassment coalesces into an often-unrecognized form of gender inequality that constrains women’s use of digital public spaces, much as the pervasive threat of sexual intimidation and violence constrain women’s freedom and comfort in physical public spaces. What’s more, the abuse exacerbates inequality among women, those from racial, ethnic, religious, and/or other minority groups, are disproportionately targeted. Drawi

Abstract:

This book examines the cultural pursuit of a painless ideal as a neglected context for US literary realism. Advances in anesthesia in the final decades of the nineteenth century together with influential religious ideologies helped strengthen the equation of a comfortable existence insulated from physical suffering with the height of civilization. Theories of the civilizing process as intensifying sensitivity to suffering were often adduced to justify a revulsion from physical pain among the postbellum elite. Yet a sizeable portion of this elite rejected this comfort-seeking, pain-avoiding aes

Abstract:

The influence of religion and spirituality (R/S) on surgeons dates back to the early history of modern surgery and continues into the 21st century. Research topics include intercessory prayer (IP), social cohesion, coping strategies, the role of chaplains and other clergy or faith leaders, and communal activities such as worship. While evidence for benefits of practices such as IP are inconclusive, patients involved in R/S activities or who hold R/S beliefs appear to have improved coping skills and quality of life (QOL). Although R/S has proven value for patients and surgeons, lack of R/S trai

Abstract:

Human suffering is inevitable, and it is universal. It has provoked in societies a deep desire to fix, to restore, and to mend. That yearning to heal is physical and metaphysical; science and art; objectivity and intimacy. To do so one must touch the flesh but also that inner essence called spirit or soul. In that regard, healing involves what can be understood—the disease—and what eludes scientific understanding—the illness. It is the illness, perhaps, that is most confounding, involving not only pathological processes at play but also the emotive reactions to them. To pursue both is the aim

A key objective of the study of work-family balance detailed in this report was to build an evidence base to inform policy creation or refinement targeting work-family balance and related implementation standards to ensure the protection and preservation of Qatari families. Two complementary projects were designed and implemented to achieve this key objective. The first project was a qualitative study involving in-depth interviews with 20 Qatari working adults (10 males and 10 females).
