leren. De afgelopen decennia is er in het medisch curriculum dan ook in toenemende mate aandacht gekomen voor het onderwijs in klinisch redeneren. Daarbij speelt dit boek Diagnostiek van alledaagse klachten een belangrijke rol.De meeste leerboeken gaan uit van aandoeningen en ziekten, maar mensen komen met klachten en symptomen naar de arts. Daarom geeft dit boek de logische en wetenschappelijke onderbouwing voor de diagnostiek van bijna 70 veelvoorkomende klachten.Elk hoofdstuk in dit boek behandelt de diagnostiek van een klacht volgens een vaste structuur: de incidentie van de klacht, hoe patiënten de klacht ervaren, redenen om ermee naar de arts te gaan, de mogelijke oorzaken en de differentiële diagnose. Vervolgens licht het boek de waarde toe van de gegevens uit anamnese, lichamelijk onderzoek en aanvullend onderzoek met betrekking tot de mogelijke diagnosen. De hoofdstukken zijn geschreven door huisartsen en vakspecialisten samen, allen met veel onderwijs- en praktijkervaring.Bij dit boek hoort een website, die kosteloos toegankelijk is voor de lezer. Daar is de gehele boekinhoud geplaatst, waardoor Diagnostiek van alledaagse klachten snel te doorzoeken en overal online te raadplegen is. Daarnaast staat er van iedere klacht een instructief consultfilmpje of een casus op de website, met bijbehorende verdiepingsvragen.Voor deze vijfde druk is de inhoud aangevuld en geactualiseerd en het boek is uitgebreid met een nieuw klacht: scrotale klachten en enkele algemene hoofdstukken.Diagnostiek van alledaagse klachten is bestemd voor studenten in het basiscurriculum, artsen in opleiding en praktiserende artsen. Daarnaast is het ook belangrijk voor docenten, paramedisch beroepsbeoefenaren en alle artsen die de rationaliteit van hun diagnostisch handelen kritisch willen beoordelen.

its scholarly study, Section 2 examines various definitions and proposes a working definition that balances common usage with theoretical coherence. Section 3 surveys existing theories of divination, including symbolic and functional perspectives, while critiquing their limitations. Section 4 argues for the primacy of cognition in divinatory practices, emphasizing the role of universal cognitive mechanisms and culturally specific worldviews in shaping their plausibility and persistence. Expanding on these ideas, Section 5 investigates the interplay between individual cognition and societal processes, highlighting socio-cultural factors such as the preferential reporting of successful outcomes that bolster divination's perceived efficacy. Finally, Section 6 concludes by summarizing the Element's key arguments and identifying open questions for future research on the cognitive dimension of divination.

History

This Element explores the yearning for things of the past, from early modern antiquarianism to the contemporary art market. It…
tells a global story about scholars who, driven by this yearning, roamed the world and amassed many of its historical artefacts. Their motivation was not just pleasure or profit. They longed for a past that had been lost and strived to reconstruct world history anew. This rewriting of history unleashed heated debates, all over the world and raging for centuries. The debates concerned not only the past but also the present and the future. Many believed that, by revealing a strange and foreign past, the material remains opened a path to modernity. So, the Element investigates not only the history of historical scholarship, and its obsession with things, but also our relationship to the past as modern human beings.

of limited resources as an opportunity. The chapters are divided into two sections, eight chapters comprising Section I: Theory and Research and then the eight chapters comprising Section II: Additional Perspectives and Future Directions. Within these two sections, the more than two-dozen authors that contributed to this book tackle a wide range of the possibilities for designing creative classroom-based instruction wherein limited resources are highlighted and valued, rather than avoided or lamented. The two main sections of this book are each preceded by a brief introductory summary highlighting those sections’ attributes and objectives, with the intention of providing helpful structure to the reader—but the book has also been designed such that each chapter stands independently and can be jumped to directly like a handbook. In its totality, this book exploring perspectives on creativity theory and research in education is designed to serve as a valuable resource for teachers, teacher educators, school administrators, parents, and education researchers, along with anyone else that is interested in optimizing our opportunities for nurturing creativity within classrooms.

This open access book examines the first modern diplomatic contact between Europe and East Asia: the 1517 Portuguese embassy to…
China. The experience did not end well, for in 1521, the Ming Court decided to cut off relations, and a battle broke out between the Guangdong and Portuguese fleets. This work seeks to explain why this happened. Making extensive use of both Chinese and Western archival sources, it proposes a new interpretation—one that breaks with the traditional &“clash of civilizations&” viewpoint and focuses instead on the diversity of actors and the complex relationships between them.

fields, and at the same time for the interaction between different subject areas. The purpose of the symposium was therefore not only the study of triangulated categories in itself, but rather fruitful exchanges between disciplines. The symposium brought together established researchers who have made important contributions involving triangulated categories. Many participants came from representation theory, but there were also participants with backgrounds in commutative algebra, geometry and algebraic topology.

This book covers the theory of multidimensional signals and systems and related practical aspects. It extends the properties and mathematical…
tools of one-dimensional signals and systems to multiple dimensions and covers relevant timeless topics including multidimensional transformations, multidimensional sampling as well as discrete multidimensional systems. A special emphasis is placed on physical systems described by partial differential equations, the construction of suitable integral transformations and the implementation of the corresponding discrete-time algorithms. To this end, signal spaces and functional transformations are introduced at a mathematical level provided by undergraduate programs in engineering and science.The presentation takes a comprehensive, illustrative and educational approach without reference to a particular application field. Instead, the book builds a solid theoretical concept of multidimensional signals and systems and shows the application to various problems relevant for practical scenarios.

This book contains eighteen original essays engaging with Keith Lehrer&’s contributions to philosophy. The first nine chapters focus on Lehrer&’s…
work in epistemology and philosophy of mind. These chapters examine the role of meta-justification in Lehrer&’s (and Thomas Reid&’s) epistemology, explore the epistemological significance of self-trust and how to restore self-trust to victims of epistemic injustice, challenge Lehrer&’s solution to the hard problem of consciousness, question Lehrer&’s account of the basing relation, and discuss the important role that experience and exemplarization play in Lehrer&’s coherence theory of justification and in philosophy of science more broadly. The second nine chapters focus on Lehrer&’s work on freedom and determinism. These chapters explore the nuances of Lehrer&’s theory of ultimate freedom, discuss the role of power preferences in his account of free choice, explore whether free choices must be explained by power preferences, discuss Lehrer&’s views on scientific explanation, explore his claim that freedom of choice is consistent with determinism, challenge his response to the consequence argument, explore whether choices explained by adaptive preferences are free, and investigate whether plural subjects can choose freely. The book concludes with Lehrer&’s masterful responses to each of the essays. Those interested in epistemology, philosophy of mind, freedom and moral responsibility, and the intersection of these fields should find the book of great interest.

Completely revised and updated, this new edition provides a readable, beautifully illustrated journey through world cultures and the vibrant array…
of sky mythology, creation stories, models of the universe, temples and skyscrapers that each culture has created to celebrate and respond to the power of the night sky. Sections on the archaeoastronomy of South Asia and South East Asia have been expanded, with original photography and new research on temple alignments in Southern India, and new material describing the astronomical practices of Indonesia, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries. Beautiful photographs of temples in India and Asia have been added, as well as new diagrams explaining the alignment of these structures and the astronomical underpinnings of temples within the Pallava and Chola cultures. From new fieldwork in the Four Corners region of North America, Dr. Penprase has included accounts of Pueblo skywatching and photographs of ceremonial kivas that help elucidate the rich astronomical knowledge of the Pueblo people. The popular “Archaeoastronomy of Skyscrapers” section of the book has been updated as well, with new interpretations of skyscrapers in Indonesia, Taiwan and China.With the rapid pace of discovery in astronomy and astrophysics, entirely new perspectives are emerging about dark matter, inflation and the future of the universe. The Power of Stars puts these discoveries in context and describes how they fit into the modern perspective of cosmology, which has arisen from the universal human response to the sky that has inspired both ancient and modern cultures.
