Global Energy Supply and Emissions
An Interdisciplinary View on Effects, Restrictions, Requirements and Options
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
1 083 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book offers an authoritative analysis of the state-of-the art in energy and climate research and policy. It starts by describing the current status of technologies that are expected to have an influence on the energy systems of the future. For an adequate evaluation, it presents the latest findings on the effects of energy supply and consumption as well as of the emissions on both the environment and people’s health. This is followed by an extensive discussion of the economic and social problems related to climate change, the need for energy transitions, and other issues that may require public investment and international agreements. The book reviews the problem of energy policy from a global perspective, providing readers with the technical, political, economic and ethical background needed to understand the current situation and work at better solutions for a sustainable, just and prospering world.

Del 2 - Studien zu Wissenschaft und Ethik
Ethische Probleme einer langfristigen globalen Energieversorgung
Inbunden, Tyska, 2005

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Die menschliche Entwicklung ist seit jeher von einer gesicherten Energieversorgung abhängig, die heute aus Gründen der Machbarkeit und der Umweltbelastungen global betrachtet werden muss. Angesichts eines weltweit steigenden Energiebedarfs kommt der sicheren und preiswerten Bereitstellung von Energie daher eine Schlüsselrolle in der menschlichen Entwicklung zu. Auf der Basis der heutigen und zukünftig möglichen Energietechnologien sowie der Kenntnisse der zur Verfügung stehenden Ressourcen erarbeitet die Studie Beurteilungen der weltweiten Energieversorgung unter Einbeziehung wirtschaftlicher und umweltverträglicher Kriterien. Es werden ferner Aspekte der Langfristigkeit, der Sozialverträglichkeit und der Verteilungsgerechtigkeit in den Diskurs einbezogen.

The rapid growth of the world population - nearly six-fold over the last hundred years - combined with the rising number of technical installations especially in the industrialized countries has lead to ever tighter and more strained living spaces on our planet. Because ofthe inevitable processes oflife, man was at first an exploiter rather than a careful preserver of the environment. Environmental awareness with the intention to conserve the environment has grown only in the last few decades. Environmental standards have been defined and limit values have been set largely guided, however, by scientific and medical data on single exposures, while public opinion, on the other hand, now increasingly calls for astronger consideration of the more complex situations following combined exposures. Furthermore, it turned out that environmental standards, while necessarily based on scientific data, must also take into account ethical, legal, economic, and sociological aspects. A task of such complexity can only be dealt with appropriately in the framework of an inter disciplinary group.

Radioactive waste (above all highly radioactive wastes from nuclear installations) caused by research, medicine and technology must be disposed of safely. However both the strategies disputed for the disposal of radioactive waste as well as concrete proposals for choosing a location for final waste disposal are highly debatable. An appropriate disposal must conform to both complex, technical requirements and fulfill the radio-biological conditions to appropriately protect man and nature. Ethical, legal and social conditions must also be considered. An interdisciplinary team from various, relevant fields compiled the current status-quo and developed criteria and strategies, which on the one hand meet the requirements of optimal warning and prevention of risk for present and future generations, and additionally on the other hand meet the needs of what current society agrees what is expected to be allowed. This study can be understood as an advanced and continuing contribution to the corresponding scientific specialized debates, due to its interdisciplinary treatment. At the same time it serves as a fundamentally informing contribution to public and political debates, offering an easily comprehensible executive summary and precise content recommendations.

Tumour therapy depends essentially on being able to destroy the clonogenic activity of tumour cells while keeping the damage to the normal tissue low. Clinical experience shows that tumour response varies greatly even if tumours with the same localisation, clinical, and histopathological staging are compared. Some tumours appear to be resistant to conventional radiotherapy (X-rays, y-rays or fast electrons) or chemotherapy. In these cases new therapy modalities are necessary. Combined therapy modalities seem to have advan- tages for some resistant tumours; one possibility of such a treatment is to combine radiotherapy or chemotherapy with hyperthermia. This means that the local tumour, the tumour region or even the whole body of the patient has to be heated to temperatures between 40 to 45 C (in case of whole body hyperthermia to 42 C maximal) for a certain time (usually 30-60 min are adequate). Hyperthermia has a long tradition in medicine as a treatment modality for various diseases. Inscriptions of the old Egyptians and texts of the Greeks have pointed out its importance. Usually whole body hyperthermia has been used by the induction of fever.Local hyperthermia began around 1900 when Westermark treated unre- sectable cervix carcinomas with hot water in a metallic coil. By the beginning of this century an increase of radiation effects was hy- pothesised with hypothermia and later observed. However, only in the 1960s and 1970s were systematic investigations started which showed radiosensitisation and chemosensitisation by hyperthermia in cells and tissues including tumours.

The biologic effects of radiation on normal tissues and tumors represent a complex area for investigation. These effects are of far-reaching consequence to the diagnostic radiologist and the radiation oncologist having a significant impact not only in concepts relative to radiation protection but also in concepts relative to tumor biology and its response to radiation injury. The volume edited by SCHERER, STREFFER, and TROTT represents an extension of basic radiation biology data into the effects of radiation in producing pathology in organs and tissues. The data presented by the multiple authors involved in this text cover essentially all tissues in the body with specific definition of radiopathology changes and their impact on clinical care of the patient. This volume represents an important and significant contribution toward a better understanding of these effects and the pathology produced by radiations. L. W. BRADY H.-P. HEILMANN F. HEUCK M. W. DONNER Philadelphia Hamburg Stuttgart Baltimore Preface This book represents an attempt to describe the clinical radiobiology of complications arising in different organs after radiotherapy of cancer patients. Since by their very nature malignant tumors infiltrate the organ in which they have arisen and the neighboring tissues, curative radiotherapy requires the planned irradiation of considerable amounts of healthy but potentially or microscopically involved normal tissues and organs with the full target dose. This may lead to early or late normal tissue radiation injury.

The aim of radiation protection standards is to make the radiation workplace as safe as is humanly possible. The gradual evolution over the last 20 years has been towards a more precise definition of the limits for occupational exposure. These have been created not only in terms of short-term effects but also more importantly in terms of long-term risks involving such problems as the potential for carcinogenesis and genetic change. In the United States the National Committee for Radiation Protection has recom mended that 5 rems (50 mSv) should remain as the maximum permissible dose equiva lent for total body exposure. This would represent the sum of internal and external ex posure and should be regarded as the upper limit allowed. The community of radiation users is required to conduct its operations in such a man ner that the absolute value of the individual''s dose equivalent in rems does not exceed his age in years. There should be additional limits for tissues and organs based on short term effects. Therefore, individual organs are limited to dose equivalents low enough to ensure that the dose threshold values are not exceeded.
