April 2002Verbot der NPD oder Mit Nationaldemokraten leben?
Die Positionen
by Claus Leggewie, Horst Meier, Claus Leggewie, Horst Meier, Arnim Pfahl-Traughber, Christoph Seils, Heiner Busch, Martin Morlok, Ingo Münch, Ralf Dreier, Kathrin Groh, Rudolf Wassermann, Ulrich K. Preuß, Karl-Heinz Ladeur, Wolf-Dieter Narr, Annelie Buntenbach, Bernhard Wagner, Dieter Grimm, Hans Mommsen, Karl Dietrich Bracher, Ernst Benda, Volker Neumann
Im Frühjahr 2002 wird das Bundesverfassungsgericht die Anträge von Bundesregierung, Bundesrat und Bundestag prüfen, ob ein Verbot der NPD geboten ist. Muß man mit Nationaldemokraten leben, muß man sich NPD-Aufzüge gefallen lassen, soll die antisemitische Hetze eines Horst Mahler im Internet geduldet werden?Der Band enthält abwägende und kritische Beiträge von prominenten Verfassungsrechtlern, Historikern und Sozialwissenschaftlern zu dieser Frage, die in pointierten Beiträgen einer breiteren, interessierten öffentlichkeit zur Diskussion vorgelegt wird.Es überwiegen bei den Autoren die Zweifel, ob der Verbotsantrag das geeignete Mittel im »Kampf gegen rechts« ist bei einer Kleinstpartei, die weit davon entfernt ist, eine echte Gefahr für die freiheitliche demokratische Grundordnung darzustellen. Weitere Beiträge begründen, warum eine andere Lage eingetreten ist, in welcher ein Verbot vielleicht doch gerechtfertigt sei.

MedicineSeptember 2020Small Animal Veterinary Psychiatry
by Sagi Denenberg, Ali Thompson
Problem behaviours are often the result of how an animal thinks and feels, genetics, and environmental influences. Steering away from just description diagnoses and focusing instead on emotional and cognitive causes, this book provides a practical approach to diagnosing, treating, and managing behaviour pathologies in dogs and cats. Beginning by addressing cases in the first opinion practice, this book then considers physical disorders that may lead to or exacerbate abnormal behavior. From there, the focus shifts to mental and emotional health, from an assessment of normal behavior and giving juveniles an optimal start in life, to diagnosing mental and emotional disorders, addressing emotions such as anxiety and frustration, and how to manage these issues - by modifying behavior, managing the animal's environment, training, and, when necessary, the use of medications. The second half of the book then addresses owner concerns, including management problems, aggression, affective disorder, elimination disorder, abnormal and repetitive behaviours and ageing-related problems. With an emphasis on helping first line veterinarians identify common presentations and offer help to owners, this book: - Addresses both normal and abnormal behaviour in cats and dogs from an emotion and cognition perspective; - Provides behaviour modification protocols, and drug doses and indications; - Includes handouts to be used both within the practice and with clients to help the veterinary surgeon manage the case. Written by international experts, the book translates their insights and experience into approaches taken in behavioural medicine. Also including the most up-to-date drugs, it is an important resource for both small animal veterinarians and students of veterinary medicine or animal behaviour.

Science & MathematicsDecember 2019Biosecurity in Animal Production and Veterinary Medicine
by Jeroen Dewulf, Filip Van Immerseel
Globally, the way the animal production industry copes with infectious diseases is changing. The (excessive) use of antimicrobials is under debate and it is becoming standard practice to implement thorough biosecurity plans on farms to prevent the entry and spread of pathogenic micro-organisms. Not only in farm animal production, but also in facilities where companion animals are kept, including in veterinary practices and clinics, awareness of the beneficial implications of a good biosecurity plan has raised. The book Biosecurity in Animal Production and Veterinary Medicine is the first compilation of both fundamental aspects of biosecurity practices, and specific and practical information on the application of the biosecurity measures in different animal production and animal housing settings. The book starts with a general introductory chapter on the epidemiology of infectious diseases, followed by a chapter explaining the general principles of biosecurity. Specific topics of biosecurity, including rodent and insect control, cleaning and disinfection, hygiene and decontamination of feed, drinking water and air, and measuring the biosecurity status of farms, are detailed in dedicated chapters. Explanations on the relevance of the implementation of biosecurity plans in order to improve animal health and performance and reduce antimicrobial usage are described, and a chapter on ways to motivate farmers to implement a biosecurity plan has been included. Practical chapters deal with biosecurity in the poultry, pig and cattle industry, horse facilities, dog kennels, veterinary practices and clinics and laboratory animal facilities. The book is a practical guide that can be used by farm and animal facility managers, consultants, veterinarians, animal caretakers, and people with an interest in prevention of diseases in animals. Academics and students will benefit from the book because it contains all relevant information on animal biosecurity.
