As elite communities in medieval societies the Military Orders were driven by the ambition to develop built environments that fulfilled monastic needs as well as military requirements and, in addition, residential and representational purposes. Growing affluence and an international orientation provided a wide range of development potential. That this potential was in fact exploited may be exemplified by the advanced fortifications erected by Templars and Hospitallers in the Levant. Although the history of the Military Orders has been the subject of research for a long time, their material legacy has attracted less attention. In recent years, however, a vast range of topics concerning the Orders’ building activities has become the object of investigation, primarily with the help of archaeology. They comprise the choice of sites and building materials, provision and storage of food and water, aspects of the daily life, the design and layout of commanderies, churches and fortifications, their spatial arrangement, and the role these buildings played in their environmental context. This volume contains ten articles discussing the archaeology and architecture of buildings erected by the three major Military Orders in different geographical regions. They cover most countries of Western Europe and include a number of important fortifications in the Levant. These studies break new ground in the investigation of the built fabric of the Military Orders. Written by noted international scholars this publication is an important contribution to modern research on these institutions, which, in their association of monasticism and knighthood, were so typical for the Middle Ages.

Fuzzy Logic in Management demonstrates that difficult problems and changes in the management environment can be more easily handled by bringing fuzzy logic into the practice of management. This explicit theme is developed through the book as follows: Chapter 1, "Management and Intelligent Support Technologies", is a short survey of management leadership and what can be gained from support technologies. Chapter 2, "Fuzzy Sets and Fuzzy Logic", provides a short introduction to fuzzy sets, fuzzy relations, the extension principle, fuzzy implications and linguistic variables. Chapter 3, "Group Decision Support Systems", deals with group decision making, and discusses methods for supporting the consensus reaching processes. Chapter 4, "Fuzzy Real Options for Strategic Planning", summarizes research where the fuzzy real options theory was implemented as a series of models. These models were thoroughly tested on a number of real life investments, and validated in 2001. Chapter 5, "Soft Computing Methods for Reducing the Bullwhip Effect", summarizes research work focused on the demand fluctuations in supply chains. The program enhanced existing theoretical frameworks with fuzzy logic modeling. Chapter 6, "Knowledge Management", outlines the collection, storing, transfer and management of knowledge using fuzzy logic. The principles are worked out in detail with software agents. Chapter 7, "Mobile Technology Application", introduces various applications including empirical facts and how mobile technology can be supported with software agents.Implicitly the book develops themes that successful companies should use to (1) master effectiveness and quality in both the details and the whole, (2) build on and work with flexibility, and (3) support continuous learning in both the organizational and the individual level.

Many decision-making tasks are too complex to be understood quantitatively, however, humans succeed by using knowledge that is imprecise rather than precise. Fuzzy logic resembles human reasoning in its use of imprecise informa tion to generate decisions. Unlike classical logic which requires a deep under standing of a system, exact equations, and precise numeric values, fuzzy logic incorporates an alternative way of thinking, which allows modeling complex systems using a higher level of abstraction originating from our knowledge and experience. Fuzzy logic allows expressing this knowledge with subjective concepts such as very big and a long time which are mapped into exact numeric ranges. Since knowledge can be expressed in a more natural by using fuzzy sets, many decision (and engineering) problems can be greatly simplified. Fuzzy logic provides an inference morphology that enables approximate human reasoning capabilities to be applied to knowledge-based systems. The theory of fuzzy logic provides a mathematical strength to capture the un certainties associated with human cognitive processes, such as thinking and reasoning. The conventional approaches to knowledge representation lack the means for representating the meaning of fuzzy concepts. As a consequence, the approaches based on first order logic do not provide an appropriate con ceptual framework for dealing with the representation of commonsense knowl edge, since such knowledge is by its nature both lexically imprecise and non categorical.

Akupunktur, instick i kroppen med tunna, vassa och solida nålar, är en flertusenårig kinesisk behandlingsmetod mot smärta och en del sjukdomssymtom. Sedan 1984 är metoden accepterad att använda inom den officiella sjukvården i Sverige mot långvarig smärta, och sedan 1993 är den tillåten även för annan symtomlindring om det finns vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet som påvisat effekt. Boken innehåller en grundläggande genomgång av historiska begrepp från den traditionella kinesiska medicinen och en bred sammanfattning kring västerländsk fysiologisk och klinisk forskning. Den beskriver samtliga klassiska akupunkturpunkter och tar upp behandling av såväl smärta som andra symtom. En omfattande genomgång av vad som kan kallas evidensbaserad akupunktur görs dessutom. Denna andra upplaga är kraftigt omarbetad och innehåller en betydligt fördjupad genomgång av akupunkturens användning vid smärtproblem. Helt nyskrivna är de omfattande behandlingskapitlen liksom avsnitten om smärtfysiologi, placebo, akupunkturfysiologi samt klinisk forskning. Boken är en lärobok för olika legitimerade utövare inom sjukvården, men kan även läsas av andra med viss medicinsk kunskap. Den vänder sig både till dem som avser att praktiskt använda sig av akupunktur och till dem som avser att forska inom området.

Akupunktur, TENS och sterila vatteninjektioner har använts inom förlossningsvården sedan 1970-talet. De är biverkningsfria, miljövänliga och ekonomiska metoder för avslappning och smärtlindring. Fördelarna med akupunktur, TENS och sterila vatteninjektioner för obstetriska ändamål har snabbt lett till en ökad efterfråga på kurser för förlossningspersonal. Den första svenskspråkiga läroboken i detta ämne Akupunktur och TENS inom obstetriken kom ut 1997. Den har använts på de flesta av de kurser som genomförts i Norden och det är främst erfarenheterna från de kurserna som ligger till grund för förändringarna i den här upplagan. Förutom en genomgång av smärtfysiologi och metodernas verkningsmekanismer ges en kortfattad presentation av kinesisk medicin i förhållande till obstetrik. De viktigaste punkternas lokalisation och användning är pedagogiskt beskrivna i text och bild för att lätt kunna användas i den kliniska vardagen. En redogörelse över aktuella studier i ämnet och svårigheter med akupunkturforskning ökar förståelsen för metoden.Det är författarnas önskan att med Akupunktur och TENS inom obstetriken bidra till en ökad kunskap och förståelse för smärta och för akupunktur, TENS och sterila vatteninjektioner i samband med graviditet, förlossning och puerperium. Boken riktar sig framför allt till barnmorskor, sjuksköterskor, läkare, sjukgymnaster och andra yrkesgrupper inom förlossningsvården.
