Erste deutschsprachige Zusammenfassung und Bewertung aller Methoden Systematische und anschauliche Beschreibung der einzelnen Verfahren Geballtes Faktenwissen das Referenzwerk zum Thema Verfaßt von ausgewiesenen Spezialisten.Zu den meistdiskutierten Innovationen der letzten Jahre in der operativen Augenheilkunde gehören die Hornhauteingriffe zur Verringerung oder Korrektur von Fehlsichtigkeiten des Auges. Es wurde eine Vielzahl von Verfahren entwickelt, die zum Teil schon vor ihrer wissenschaftlichen Evaluation weite Verbreitung fanden. Erstmals in deutscher Sprache ist in diesem Buch der aktuelle Kenntnisstand zu den verschiedenen Methoden systematisch und umfassend zusammegefaßt; Prinzip und Durchführung der einzelnen Verfahren, vor allem aber die gewonnenen Erfahrungen und die sinnvolle Indikationsstellung werden beschrieben und durch zahlreiche Abbildungen illustriert.Jeder Ophthalmologe, dem komplikationsarmes, refraktives Operieren als Qualitätsmerkmal gilt und der komplexe refraktive Operationen mit ausgereiften Methoden angehen möchte, findet in diesem Buch das nötige innovative wie bewährte Handwerkszeug.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Medienselbstkontrolle ist wichtig, weil sie staatliche Kontrolle überflüssig macht. Dadurch trägt sie zur Pressefreiheit bei und wirkt einer schleichenden Entdemokratisierung der Öffentlichkeit entgegen. Ihr effektives Funktionieren ist seit den 1980er Jahren wegen der rasanten Entwicklung neuer Medien und der fortschreitenden Kommerzialisierung der alten noch wichtiger geworden. Aber dieser zunehmenden Bedeutung, die u. a. durch ein wachsendes Beschwerdebedürfnis in der Bevölkerung zum Ausdruck kommt, hinkt das tatsächliche Interesse an der Medienselbstkontrolle hinterher. Der 2004 gegründete 'Verein zur Förderung der publizistischen Selbstkontrolle' (FPS) gibt dieses Handbuch heraus, um der geringen Beachtung der Medienselbstkontrolle in der Öffentlichkeit entgegenzuwirken.Dieser Band umfasst Selbstdarstellungen der Medienkontrollinstanzen in Deutschland. Sie werden ergänzt durch Texte von Fachleuten, die die Arbeitsweise und Wirksamkeit der publizistischen Selbstkontrolle kritisch reflektieren. Der Band eignet sich zudem für die Forschung und Lehre im Bereich Medienrecht und Medienethik und kann in der Journalistenausbildung sowie als Nachschlagewerk für die praktische Arbeit in Redaktionen und Ausbildungsstätten eingesetzt werden. Er soll aber auch Menschen helfen, die sich den Medien ausgeliefert fühlen. Viele wissen nicht, an wen sie sich wenden sollen, wenn sie z.B. von Journalisten bei Recherchen ausgenutzt, bei Gewinnspielen hinters Licht geführt oder durch voyeuristische Berichterstattung in ihrer Intimsphäre verletzt werden. Und: Was kann man tun, wenn falsch berichtet oder extreme Brutalität gezeigt wurde In diesem Buch finden sich Antworten. 568 pp. Deutsch.…
