Welche Rolle sollten Unternehmen in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft spielen? Wie können Wirtschaftsunternehmens einen Mehrwert für alle schaffen, und zwar so, dass es die Umwelt nicht schädigt? Kurz: Wie sieht ein verantwortungsvoller, nachhaltiger Kapitalismus aus? Darüber wurde und wird viel diskutiert. Stark beeinflusst haben die Debatte der Schweizer Unternehmer und Umweltschützer André Hoffmann, bekannt durch seine leitende Tätigkeit bei Roche und beim WWF, und der belgische Wirtschaftsjournalist Peter Vanham, die hier ihr neues Buch – ihre Zukunftsvision für Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft – vorlegen.Eindringlich, klar und immer mit praktischem Blick zeigen die beiden renommierten Vordenker aus der Geschäftswelt, wie es gelingt, den Fokus auf die langfristige Wachstumsperspektive zu verlagern, und wie man es vermeidet, kurzfristige Gewinne überzubewerten – damit nachhaltiger Wohlstand für ein Unternehmen, seine Interessengruppen, die Gesellschaft und den Planeten entsteht. Als Beispiele dienen Unternehmen wie Harley-Davidson, Holcim, Schneider Electric und Hoffmanns eigenes Familienunternehmen Roche – Firmen, die die notwendigen Schritte unternommen haben, um ihre natürlichen, sozialen und menschlichen Einflüsse in nachhaltige und positive Auswirkungen umzuwandeln. Aber auch einige kleinere Schweizer Unternehmen, z. B. Innergia, eine lokale Genossenschaft für erneuerbare Energien, beziehen sie ein.

Der Autor hat die Entstehung der Zahnfarbe systematisch und höchstpräzise u. a. an menschlichen Zähnen und dentalen Farbringen mit Hochpräzisionsmesssystemen und mit eigens entwickelten Hochpräzisionspositionierungssystemen erforscht. Der Pionier im Bereich der optischen Technologien dürfte im Zuge seiner wissenschaftlichen Grundlagenforschung die wesentlichen Einflussfaktoren isoliert und eindeutig quantifiziert haben. Dazu gehören beispielsweise das Licht bzw. Messlicht und die Lichtarten verschiedener Farbtemperaturen, die Strahlengänge des Lichtes bzw. die Messgeometrien (Orte von Lichtquellen und Sensoren in Relation zur Messprobe), der Beobachtungswinkel (2°, 10°), die Größe der Messfläche und Messöffnung, die Glanzwirkung, der Flüssigkeitsgehalt (mit wissenschaftlichem Beweis des Zusammenhanges zwischen Flüssigkeitsgehalt und Zahnfarbe), Wirkung von Trocknung und Flüssigkeitswiederaufnahme (Dehydratation, Rehydrierung), der Anteil des Flüssigkeitsgehaltes an der Glanzwirkung, die Subjektivität von visueller Bestimmung, Kronenkrümmung, Systemart (Spektralphotometer, Dreibereichsfarbmesssystem), Messmodus (Kontakt oder Non-kontakt-Modus), Messsystem-Objekt-Relation, Positionierung, Wiederholbarkeit bzw. Reproduzierbarkeit. Zudem wurden subjektiv-visuelle Bestimmungen und objektivierte Messungen in Subjektiv-objektiv-Vergleichen über Wertevergleiche nachgegangen. Alle diese Einflussfaktoren sind nicht nur an feuchten, sondern auch an trockeneren (verschiedene bestimmte Trocknungs- bzw. Rehydrierungszustände) und trockenen Zähnen anhand u. a. der Helligkeit (L*), von Farbmesswerten, wie beispielsweise a*, b*, C*, h, ΔE, des Metamerieindex, von Spektralwerten, von Zahnfarbproben und von Zahnfarbräumen analysiert.Im Rahmen dieser Erkundung konnten Phänomene (beispielsweise Änderungen und Brüche im Verhalten sowie hochindividuelle Entwicklungen der Farbwerte, Paradoxes zwischen den Werten subjektiver Bestimmung mittels Zahnfarbproben und den Werten objektivierender Messungen) aufgedeckt und Einblick in die Farbdynamik durch De- und Rehydratation gewährt werden. Die Entwicklung der einzelnen Farbmesswerte ließ beispielsweise Rückschlüsse über den Flüssigkeitsfluss durch den Zahn und seine Gewebe insbesondere bei Trocknung und Flüssigkeitswiederaufnahme zu und gab Auskunft über das zeitliche Ausmaß dieser Prozesse. Auf Basis dieser Datenlage hatte Hoffmann mehrere Verfahren für die Forschung und Anwendung in der Praxis entwickelt, Innovationen vorgeschlagen und für machbar eingestuft, wie beispielsweise das trocknungsprotektive Monitoring zur Vermeidung von Devitalisierung bei zahnmedizinischer Behandlung, eine Rekonstruktion der Farbe von natürlich feuchten Zähnen an bereits angetrockneten, die Identifizierung von Lebenden und Toten über den "dentalen Fingerabdruck" und für die Rechtsmedizin eine neue Methode zur Todeszeitbestimmung. Zudem beschrieb er eine zeitliche Trocknungsgrenze, bis zu der noch relativ natürliche, passende Farbwerte zu erhalten sind und nach der keine Farbbestimmung mehr erfolgen sollte, und er legte die Flüssigkeitswiederaufnahmezeit nach Ende der Trocknung fest, die gewartet werden muss, um wieder eine natürliche Zahnfarbe zu erhalten. Seine Erkenntnisse sind u. a. auch, dass Zähne in der Lage sind, Informationen beispielsweise zum Zustand (Flüssigkeitsgehalt, Farbwerte) und zur Zeit innerhalb der Trocknungs- und Flüssigkeitswiederaufnahmechronologie zu speichern. Der Autor artikuliert einen "dentalen Datenspeicher" und ein "dentales Gedächtnis" und ist der Meinung, dass wesentlicher Fortschritt auf diesem Gebiet u. a. über ein neuronales Netz für Farbmessapparaturen erzielt werden könnte.

Der Autor dieses Werks hat die Entstehung der Zahnfarbe systematisch erforscht. Dieses Buch zeugt von dieser systematischen Erforschung an menschlichen Zähnen und dentalen Farbringen mit Hochpräzisionsmeßsystemen. Im Zuge dieser wissenschaftlichen Grundlagenforschung dürften die wesentlichen Einflußfaktoren isoliert und eindeutig quantifiziert worden sein. Dazu gehören beispielsweise das Licht bzw. Meßlicht und die Lichtarten verschiedener Farbtemperaturen, die Strahlengänge des Lichtes bzw. die Meßgeometrien (Orte von Lichtquellen und Sensoren in Relation zur Meßprobe), der Beobachtungswinkel (2°, 10°), die Größe der Meßfläche und Meßöffnung, die Glanzwirkung, der Flüssigkeitsgehalt (mit wissenschaftlichem Beweis des Zusammenhanges zwischen Flüssigkeitsgehalt und Zahnfarbe), Wirkung von Trocknung und Flüssigkeitswiederaufnahme, der Anteil des Flüssigkeitsgehaltes an der Glanzwirkung, die Subjektivität von visueller Bestimmung, Kronenkrümmung, Systemart (Spektralphotometer, Dreibereichsfarbmeßgerät), Meßmodus (Kontakt oder Non-kontakt-Modus), Meßsystem-Objekt-Relation, Positionierung, Wiederholbarkeit bzw. Reproduzierbarkeit. Zudem wurden subjektiv-visuelle Bestimmungen und objektivierte Messungen in Subjektiv-objektiv-Vergleichen über Wertevergleiche nachgegangen. Alle diese Einflußfaktoren sind nicht nur an nassen, sondern auch an trockeneren (verschiedene bestimmte Trocknungs- bzw. Rehydrierungszustände) und trockenen Zähnen anhand u. a. der Helligkeit (L*), von Farbmesswerten, wie beispielsweise a*, b*, C*, h, ΔE, des Metamerieindex, von Spektralwerten, von Zahnfarbproben und von Zahnfarbräumen analysiert.Im Rahmen dieser Erkundung konnten Phänomene (beispielsweise Änderungen und Brüche im Verhalten sowie hochindividuelle Entwicklungen der Farbwerte, Paradoxes zwischen den Werten subjektiver Bestimmung mittels Zahnfarbproben und den Werten objektivierender Messungen) aufgedeckt und Einblick in die Farbdynamik durch De- und Rehydrierung gewährt werden.

Die Kenntnis um die Todeszeit ist häufig ein, mitunter der zentrale Schlüssel zur Lösung von Kriminalfällen. Die Todeszeit besitzt darüber hinaus ebenfalls Relevanz in Fällen des natürlichen Todes ‒ beispielsweise für das Versicherungswesen oder die Erbfolge. Doch ist die rechtsmedizinische Todeszeitschätzung bis heute nicht ohne Limitierungen ‒ insbesondere dann, wenn sie präzise oder nicht relativ unmittelbar nach Eintritt des Todes erfolgen soll. Mit Eintritt des Todes beginnen mannigfaltige Prozesse einzusetzen, die eine Leiche und ihre Gewebe über die Zeitachse verändern. Gelänge es, einen Prozeß eines bestimmten Gewebes zu finden, der sich präzise wie ein oder besser mehrere Uhrwerke verhielte, und gelänge es weiterhin, die Uhrzeit zurückzustellen auf den Zustand während und den Zeitpunkt des Todeseintritts, wäre es zudem noch möglich, daß diese synchronen Uhren von neuem laufen, und würde es darüber hinaus möglich werden, die vergangene Zeit nach Todeseintritt in Echtzeit am selben, dem zu untersuchenden Individuum bzw. Untersuchungsobjekt unter vergleichbaren Bedingungen (Simulation) noch einmal ablaufen zu lassen, die perfekte und genaueste Methode zur Todeszeitbestimmung wäre vielleicht geboren. Der Autor dieses gegenwärtigen Werkes hat festgestellt, daß Zähne an Leichen viel heller, andersfarbig und weniger transluzent wirken als bei lebenden Menschen und daß dentale Farbänderungen auf Trocknungs- und Flüssigkeitswiederaufnahmeprozessen basieren und hochpräzise und sehr differenziert in verschiedenartigen Werten meßbar und reversibel sind. Er mißt den Flüssigkeitsverlust (Flüssigkeitsgehalt) in Bereichen von bis zu einem millionstel Gramm, im Mikrogrammbereich, sowie höchstpräzise die Farbe und Reflexionsspektren mit Hochpräzisionsmeßsystemen und sieht eine fundamentale Möglichkeit in der Nutzung von Prozessen, die er an trocknenden und flüssigkeitswiederaufnehmenden Zähnen gemessen und analysiert hat und stellt hier erstmals eine neuartige Methode vor. Ferner stellt er erstmals auch zudem einen referenzunabhängigen Ansatz (die vielleicht sogar erste referenzunabhängige Analyse- bzw. Meßmethode in den Naturwissenschaften) vor, der auf Trocknung bis zum Zeitpunkt der ersten Messung, Flüssigkeitslagerung und abermaliger Trocknung – die eigentliche Simulation – basiert. Er benötigt deshalb für diesen referenzunabhängigen Verfahrensansatz im Gegensatz zu seinem referenzabgängigen nicht zwingend Referenzwerte, also Werte, die zuvor an anderen, vergleichbaren Proben (vgl. Nomogramm) gewonnen werden mußten, sondern nur Werte, die am selben Objekt zuvor gewonnen wurden. Damit wurde die "Streuungsproblematik" erstmals umgangen – der Weg zu einem Hochpräzisionsverfahren?Da Vorteile zu bisherigen Methoden auf diesem Gebiet gegeben sind, ist der Weg zu einem höchstpräzisen Todeszeitanalyseverfahren bzw. Todeszeitmessung gebahnt: objektivierende Messung anstatt subjektive Stadieneinschätzung; mehrere unabhängige Werte, wie L*, a*, b*, C*, h, M, Spektralwerte, anstatt bei der Körpertemperaturmethode numerisch nur ein einziger Wert (Temperatur), Reversibilität anstatt Irreversibilität der Prozesse und damit nach hinreichender Flüssigkeitslagerung Wiederholbarkeit der postmortalen Zustände und folglich der postmortalen Zeitspanne bis zur zeitlich ersten Messung im Rahmen einer Simulation unter vergleichbaren Bedingungen am selben Objekt und damit Vermeidung der "Streuungsproblematik"; Vermeidung von intra- und interindividuellen Unterschieden auf beiden Seiten des Obduktionstisches – beim Befundeten und beim Befundenden; Todeszeitmessung vor Ort oder Hochpräzisionsmessungen mit Hochpräzisionspositionierungssystemen anstatt Messung mit Thermometer; in Vision des Autors komfortable Messungen diverser Proben unabhängig voneinander innerhalb eines Umgebungsbedingungen simulierenden Analyseautomaten im Labor anstatt händische rektale Messung.

Knowing about the time of death is often the central key to solving criminal cases. The time of death is also relevant in cases of natural death - for the family register entry, for the insurance system or the succession… However, the forensic medical estimation of the time of death (postmortal interval) is still not without limitations - especially if it should be precise or if it cannot be done relatively immediately after onset of death. With the onset of death, various processes begin to set in place that change a corpse and its tissues over the time axis. If it were possible to find a process in a certain tissue that would behave precisely like one or, better, several clockworks, and if it were still possible to reset the time to the state before or at the time of death, if it would also be possible that these synchronous clocks run again, and if it were also possible to run the elapsed time after death in real time on the identical individual to be examined or the identical examination object under comparable conditions (simulation), the perfect and most precise method for determining the time of death would be born.The author of the present work has observed that teeth of dead appear much brighter, differently coloured and less translucent and more opaque than teeth of living people and that dental colour changes are based on reversible drying and liquid absorption processes and can be measured with high precision and very differentiated values - he revealed phenomena, paradoxes, dynamics and liquid flow and articulates the "dental fingerprint" for identification, "tooth clock", "tooth memory" ...He measures the loss of liquid in ranges of up to one millionth of a gram, in the microgram range, as well as the colour and reflection spectra with high-precision measuring systems and he sees a fundamental possibility in the use of processes that he has measured and analyzed on drying and liquid-absorbing teeth and he is presenting a novel method for the first time. Furthermore, for the first time, he also presents a reference-independent approach (perhaps the first reference-independent analysis or measurement method in the natural sciences) based on drying up to the time of the first measurement, liquid storage and repeated drying - the actual simulation. For this reference-independent method approach, in contrast to his reference-dependent method, it does not necessarily need reference values, i.e. values that had to be obtained beforehand on other, comparable samples (see nomogram), but only values that were obtained previously on the identical object. For the first time, the "scattering problem" was circumvented - the way to a high-precision method?The novel method of analyzing and measuring the time of death seems to have a number of advantages: objectifying measurement instead of subjective estimations of stages; several independent values, such as L *, a *, b *, C *, h, M, spectral values, instead of just one numerical value (temperature in degrees) in the case of the body cooling method, reversibility instead of irreversibility of the processes and thus, after sufficient liquid storage, repeatability of the post-mortem conditions and consequently the post-mortem interval up to the first measurement in the context of a simulation under comparable conditions on the identical object and thus avoidance of the "scattering problem", avoidance of intra- and inter-individual differences on both sides of the autopsy table - for the estimating and for the estimated individual, time of death measurement on site or high-precision measurements with high-precision positioning systems instead of measurement with thermometers, in the author''s vision, comfortable measurements of various samples independently of one another within an automatic analyzer simulating ambient conditions in the laboratory instead … - A breakthrough?

André Hoffmann, innovator, researcher and developer, pioneer in the field of optical technologies (photonics), systematically researched the tooth colour and its origin with highest precision (see publication in 2000). This book shows an excerpt of this systematic original research at human teeth and dental shade guides with high-precision measuring systems and high-precision positioning system in vitro. Due to his basic scientific research, he was able to quantify and isolate manifold factors influencing the colour of teeth. These include, for example, the light or measuring light and the type of light (illuminant) and illumination and colour temperature, the optical beam path of the light or the measuring geometry, the observation angle (2°, 10°), the size of the measuring surface, and measuring opening, the gloss, the liquid content (with scientific evidence of the relationship between liquid content and tooth colour), effect of drying, moisture and rehydration, the correlation between the liquid content and the gloss effect, the subjectivity of visual subjective shade matching, crown curvature, type of system (spectrophotometer, tristimulus colorimeter), measuring mode (contact or non-contact), system-object-relation, positioning, repeatability or reproducibility, lens shift, displacement between sample and measuring surface and further intra- and interindividual factors. In addition, subjective-visual determinations and objectified measurements were examined in subjective-objective comparisons using colour coordinates comparisons. All these influencing factors are investigated on moist, drying, drier (various specific dehydration and rehydration states) and dry teeth based on the brightness (L*), on colour measurement values, such as a*, b* (CIELAB), C*, h, (CIELCH), ΔE, on the metamerism index, on spectral values and curves, tabs of dental shade guides and on tooth colour spaces …As part of this exploration, phenomena (e.g. changes and breaks in behaviour as well as highly individual developments in colour values, paradoxes between the values of subjective determination using shade guides and the values of objective measurements) were identified and insights into the very complex colour dynamics through dehydration and rehydration were shown (up to more than >8 days). The development of the individual colour measurement values was based on the liquid flow through the tooth and its tissues, in particular during drying and rehydration, and gave information about dynamics and the temporal extent of these processes.On the basis of this data, Hoffmann had developed several methods for research and practice, suggestions for feasible innovations, such as monitoring of dental treatment to protect against pulp damage based on drying, and reconstructing the colour of naturally moist teeth on those that have already dried, the identification of the living and the dead, human and animals via the "dental fingerprint" and a novel method of measuring the time of death for forensic medicine. He also described a time limit of drying up to which relatively natural, suitable colour values and shade matching results can be obtained and after which no colour determination should be carried out; and he established the rehydration time after the end of the drying or dental treatment, which must be waited in order to regain a natural tooth colour and to get correct values and results again. His findings also show that teeth are able to store information on, for example, the condition (liquid content, colour values) and the time within the drying and liquid re-absorption chronology. The author articulates a "dental chronometer" ("tooth clock"), "dental data store" ("tooth data store") and a "dental memory" ("tooth memory") and believes that significant progress in this field may include and could be achieved via a neural network for colour measurement apparatus.A book for anyone interested in the natural sciences.
