Placebo effect and nursing
(2024)Routledge Handbook of Philosophy and NursingIn this chapter, we discuss the placebo effect in the context of nursing. In the last decades, researchers have identified and analysed many different aspects of placebo effects with sophisticated biological tools that have revealed specific biological and chemical mechanisms at the neurological and cellular levels. Nonetheless, it is largely acknowledged that many things behind the placebo effect remained to be elucidated. The placebo ...Book Chapter -
Toward the “Perfect” Shunt: Historical Vignette, Current Efforts, and Future Directions
(2024)Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery ~ Advances and Technical Standards in NeurosurgeryAs a concept, drainage of excess fluid volume in the cranium has been around for more than 1000 years. Starting with the original decompression-trepanation of Abulcasis to modern programmable shunt systems, to other nonshunt-based treatments such as endoscopic third ventriculostomy and choroid plexus cauterization, we have come far as a field. However, there are still fundamental limitations that shunts have yet to overcome: namely ...Book Chapter -
Deforestation and Land Clearing
(2024)Encyclopedia of BiodiversityAt the end of the twentieth century, there were an estimated 1700 million ha of tropical forest and 1600 million ha of temperate forests worldwide. These figures represent about 60% of the original forest cover that is estimated to have existed approximately 8000 years ago. Much of this loss can be directly attributed to human impacts during the past three millennia but with rapidly increased clearance in recent centuries, and even more ...Book Chapter -

Heuristics and Uncertainty Quantification in Rational and Inverse Compound and Catalyst Design
(2024)Comprehensive Computational ChemistryThe goal of inverse (quantum) approaches is to devise methods and approaches capable of efficiently searching chemical space in such a way that the design of novel materials and compounds with specific properties is as direct and efficient as possible. Here, we review the current state of the field with a focus on the most recent developments. We discuss the importance of heuristic rules and human intuition for rational compound design. ...Book Chapter -
Accelerating rehabilitation through AR/VR solutions
(2024)Smart VR/AR/MR Systems for ProfessionalsRehabilitation plays a crucial role in restoring or optimizing physical, mental, and social functions compromised by illness, injury, trauma, or aging. With an aging population, an increase in chronic diseases, and a shortage of rehabilitation professionals, the demand for rehabilitation services is growing. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the need for rehabilitation due to disabilities caused by the disease. This chapter ...Book Chapter -
Revolutionizing computer-aided design with virtual reality
(2024)Smart VR/AR/MR Systems for ProfessionalsVirtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies have gained significant traction in various fields, including computer-aided design (CAD). This work focuses on exploring the strengths and limitations of AR and VR for CAD applications. AR proves to be well-suited for visualizing and manipulating digital models in real-world environments by overlaying 3D models onto physical objects. It enables design reviews, simulations, and ...Book Chapter -
Imaging Clusters and Their Dynamics with Single-shot Coherent Diffraction
(2023)Structural Dynamics with X-ray and Electron Scattering ~ Structural Dynamics with X-ray and Electron ScatteringCoherent diffraction imaging with short-wavelength free-electron lasers has opened up the possiblity to determine the structure of especially fragile, short-lived or unique nanoscale particles within a single irradiation. It has also enabled novel approaches for investigating intense laser–matter interaction with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. Atomic clusters are ideal model systems for such investigations, thanks to their ...Book Chapter
