Нейродегенеративные заболевания – болезнь Паркинсона (БП), болезнь Альцгеймера, боковой амиотрофический склероз и др. – имеют огромное социальное значение, так как во многих случаях это одна из основных причин инвалидности и смертности людей трудоспособного и пожилого возраста. На данный момент не существует надежных методов диагностики ранних (доклинических) стадий БП. Основным «маркером» доклинической стадии БП можно считать нарушения поведения в фазе сна с быстрыми движениями глаз (RBD). Не существует и методов лечения, которые могли бы устранить причину БП, затормозить патологические процессы в головном мозге. Современные препараты лишь уменьшают тяжесть симптомов БП. Именно поэтому поиск новых подходов для лечения и профилактики болезни Паркинсона является одной из главных задач современной неврологии. Важнейшее значение при этом приобретают методы клеточной и генной терапии с использованием стволовых клеток. В работе показано, что морфологические разрушения, нарушения цикла бодрствование–сон и уровня двигательной активности у мышей после введения выбранных доз МФТП могут рассматриваться как соответствующие модели ранних стадий БП. Эти морфологические, физиологические и поведенческие нарушения не развиваются при использовании в качестве «антидота» генных конструкций, позволяющих доставлять GDNF непосредственно в стриатум, что свидетельствует о перспективности такого подхода. Эти данные в дальнейшем могут быть использованы при разработке доклинической диагностики и терапевтических средств лечения БП.

Christian Wehrsch?tz ist davon ?berzeugt, dass der Balkan der entscheidende Testfall f?r die EU ist und bleiben wird. Die Union wird beweisen m?ssen, dass sie ihren „Hinterhof“ befrieden kann, wenn sie ein wirklicher au?enpolitischer Faktor in der Welt sein will. Doch die seit Jahren herrschende Krise in der Euro-Zone hat sich auch auf die Attraktivit?t der EU am Balkan ausgewirkt, was sich nicht nur an der steigenden Zahl dahingehend kritischer Karikaturen zeigt. Doch dieser Region fehlt geografisch und wirtschaftlich jede rationale Alternative zum EUBeitritt. Dieses Ziel haben aber erst Slowenien und Kroatien erreicht, beide L?nder leben in und mit einer Krise, und vor allem im Falle Kroatiens d?rfte der Beitrittsschock massiv werden. Christian Wehrsch?tz schreibt mit dem Wissen und der Erfahrung des langj?hrigen Korrespondenten, der die M?hen der EU-Ann?herung und deren Probleme am Balkan kennt. Das betrifft die Auss?hnung zwischen den V?lkern ebenso wie die sozialen, wirtschaftlichen und demografischen Gruppen, von den Herausforderungen, die diese „Nach-Kriegs-Region“ zu bew?ltigen hat.

Ralf Dahrendorf wird immer wieder bem?ht: In (West-) Europa w?re nach 1945 die Epoche sozialdemokratischen Hegemonie zu beobachten gewesen. Das kann und wird f?r die Gegenwart niemand zu behaupten wagen. Die Sozialdemokratie (auch und gerade die SP?) gleicht einer harmlosen alten Tante, die kaum noch etwas bewegt. Und doch: Als politische Antwort auf die ?konomische Globalisierung w?re eine sozial integrative Partei, wie es die SP? einmal war, mehr denn je gefragt – als Teil einer europ?ischen Parteifamilie. Die SP? muss sich, will sie eine Zukunft haben, neu definieren. Der Ausgangspunkt: F?r welche Teile der Gesellschaft spricht sie eigentlich? F?r das von Abstiegs?ngsten gesch?ttelte Kleinb?rgertum, das sich gegen jede Form von Zuwanderung wehrt – oder f?r die wachsende Schicht von aufstiegsorientierten, sozial mobilen, von h?herer Bildung gepr?gten Menschen? F?r das «Proletariat», von dem niemand sagen kann, ob es als «Klasse» ?berhaupt (noch) existiert – oder f?r «alle arbeitenden Menschen», damit f?r alle, also letztlich f?r niemanden? Kann sich die SP?, kann sich die Sozialdemokratie ?berhaupt freimachen von den Illusionen, die aus der Vergangenheit kommen – etwa von der Illusion der Existenz einer «Basis», die (selbst wenn es sie gibt) immer ?lter und immer schm?ler wird? Die SP? k?nnte dies – wenn sie sich nicht nur verbal, sondern real als Teil einer transnationalen, einer die nationalen Verengungen sprengenden Partei versteht. «Modernisierung» – die Formel, mit der Bruno Kreisky und Olof Palme, Willy Brandt und Tony Blair vor Jahrzehnten der Sozialdemokratie Europas die gr??ten Erfolge gebracht haben – «Modernisierung» ist nicht mit den Inhalten von gestern, sondern mit denen von morgen zu f?llen. Die Werte k?nnen dieselben bleiben – Freiheit, Gleichheit, Solidarit?t. Die Konkretisierung dieser Werte muss neu formuliert werden.

Packaging design is a powerful vehicle for making our lives friendlier, our planet greener and our businesses richer. It is an essential link between the producer and the customer, where it contributes to the positioning and presentation of a product; and on many occasions, the use of the product after purchase. What is missing is a compass that can guide practitioners in the right direction. This is particularly so in the field of packaging where the routes you take may contradict rather than contribute to sustainable development. Managing Packaging Design for Sustainable Development: A Compass for Strategic Directions emphasizes the need to rethink packaging system design, by presenting a strategic packaging design tool; a compass. The compass encourages you to go off-road, to develop and innovate, and to remake the packaging design solution that previously was best practice. Theory and practical applications are balanced by outlining the most crucial tenets of packaging design for sustainability and by illustrating wide range of real-life cases that will inspire and challenge the mindsets of those who apply the compass in packaging design related projects.

Beam theories are exploited worldwide to analyze civil, mechanical, automotive, and aerospace structures. Many beam approaches have been proposed during the last centuries by eminent scientists such as Euler, Bernoulli, Navier, Timoshenko, Vlasov, etc. Most of these models are problem dependent: they provide reliable results for a given problem, for instance a given section and cannot be applied to a different one. Beam Structures: Classical and Advanced Theories proposes a new original unified approach to beam theory that includes practically all classical and advanced models for beams and which has become established and recognised globally as the most important contribution to the field in the last quarter of a century. The Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) has hierarchical properties, that is, the error can be reduced by increasing the number of the unknown variables. This formulation is extremely suitable for computer implementations and can deal with most typical engineering challenges. It overcomes the problem of classical formulae that require different formulas for tension, bending, shear and torsion; it can be applied to any beam geometries and loading conditions, reaching a high level of accuracy with low computational cost, and can tackle problems that in most cases are solved by employing plate/shell and 3D formulations. Key features: compares classical and modern approaches to beam theory, including classical well-known results related to Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories pays particular attention to typical applications related to bridge structures, aircraft wings, helicopters and propeller blades provides a number of numerical examples including typical Aerospace and Civil Engineering problems proposes many benchmark assessments to help the reader implement the CUF if they wish to do so accompanied by a companion website hosting dedicated software MUL2 that is used to obtain the numerical solutions in the book, allowing the reader to reproduce the examples given in the book as well as to solve other problems of their own www.mul2.com Researchers of continuum mechanics of solids and structures and structural analysts in industry will find this book extremely insightful. It will also be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students of mechanical, civil and aerospace engineering.

The emerging understanding of age-related neurological disorders suggests that notions of a single causal gene/toxin being responsible is likely incorrect. Neurological disorders probably arise due to a unique intersection of multiple genetic and toxic factors, combined with additional contributions of age, stage of development, immune system actions, and more. This perspective leads to the view that rather than reflecting only one pathway to end-state disease, each is a spectrum disorder, and every individual case is therefore unique. Neural Dynamics of Neurological Disease argues for a fundamental rethinking of what we think we know about neurological disorders, how they arise and progress, and, crucially, what might be done to «cure» them. It first introduces the concept of neural dynamics of neurological disease, then examines various diseases and gives examples of the interplay of elements such as neural systems, cell types, and biochemical pathways that can contribute to disease. The concluding chapters point the way to how the emerging notion of neurological disease as a dynamic process may lead to more successful treatment options. Providing a cross-disciplinary approach to understanding the origin and progression of neurological disease, Neural Dynamics of Neurological Disease is a timely and valuable resource for neuroscientists, researchers, and clinicians.
