    Demands on a primary packaging material are not easy to meet these days. Increasingly, intense optical inspection, zero defect programs, and higher regulatory specifications require that drug packaging materials can no longer be taken for granted. Bringing us to the material "glass": What is glass anyway? How does it react with my drugs? Can I freeze it? Why is it breaking? Why is my drug being adsorbed to it? Why is this over 100-year-old borosilicate glass still the gold standard? If you have asked yourself these or other glass-related questions, this book is the right choice for you. It will guide you through the world of glass in a comprehensible and pharma-focused manner. Furthermore, this guide will keep you well-covered with the fundamentals on your first voyage into the world of glass.
    
    Die Anforderungen an Primaerpackmaterialien sind heutzutage nicht leicht zu erfuellen. Intensive optische Pruefungen, Null-Fehler-Programme und strengere Behoerdenanforderungen haben dazu gefuehrt, dass Hersteller ein erhoehtes Augenmerk auf Packmittel fuer Medikamente richten muessen. Nehmen wir zum Beispiel den Werkstoff Glas: Was ist Glas ueberhaupt? Wie reagiert es mit meinen Arzneimitteln? Kann ich es einfrieren? Warum geht es kaputt? Warum lagert sich mein Medikament auf der Glasoberflaeche an? Warum ist Borosilikat-Glas, das es schon seit über 100 Jahren gibt, immer noch der Goldstandard? Wenn Sie sich diese oder andere Fragen rund um Glas schon einmal gestellt haben, ist dieses Buch das richtige fuer Sie. Es wird Sie umfassend und aus dem pharmazeutischen Blickwinkel durch die Welt des Glases fuehren. Gleichzeitig wird dieses Handbuch Sie auf Ihrer ersten Reise in die Welt des Glases sicher geleiten und Ihnen alle Grundbegriffe erlaeutern.

    As machine-learning systems grow not only more prevalent, but also more powerful, humans want to ensure that they understand us and do what we want, eliminating the possibility of catastrophic divergence. In the field of computer science, this question is known as the alignment problem. 
    In The Alignment Problem (2020), Brian Christian raises questions of safety and ethics in a world where humans are turning into machines and machines are turning into humans. He discusses tools that, through imitation, curiosity, inference, and shaping, exhibit human skills without being programmed to do so. The future of machine learning holds risks, but also great promise.

    As Charles Darwin suggested more than a century ago, the differences between animals and humans are of degree and not of kind. Not long ago, ethologists denied that animals had emotions or true intelligence. Now, we know that rats laugh when tickled, magpies mourn as they cover the departed with greenery, female whales travel thousands of miles for annual reunions with their gal pals, seals navigate by the stars, bears hum when happy, and crows slide down snowy rooftops for fun. 
     
    In engaging text, photographs, and infographics, Inside Animal Hearts and Minds showcases fascinating and heart-warming examples of animal emotion and cognition that will foster wonder and empathy. Learn about an orangutan who does “macramé”, monkeys that understand the concept of money, and rats that choose friendship over food. Even language, math, and logic are no longer exclusive to humans. Prairie dogs have their own complex vocabularies to describe human intruders, parrots name their chicks, sea lions appear capable of deductive thinking akin to a 10-year-old child’s, and bears, lemurs, parrots, and other animals demonstrate numerical cognition. 
     
    In a world where a growing body of scientific research is closing the gap between the human and nonhuman, Inside Animal Hearts and Minds invites us to change the way we view animals, the world, and our place in it.

    Similar to Jenny Worth’s Call the Midwife, this book reveals a different, still hidden medical field, the world of x-rays. This story follows a shy, sixteen year old girl, as she attempts to become a professional radiographer from 1962 into the 1990’s. All the incidents and cases are true, for they are Patricia Toulson’s real-life memories. She is thrust into the harsh disciplinary world of a general hospital, ruled by barbed tongues of nursing Sisters’ and ridiculed and harassed by experienced male staff. She experiences horror and tragedy, sadness and joy but also humour abounds in unexpected places. She encounters child abuse, infertility and teenage terminal illness, countered by the wonders of the healing body and the splendour and radiance of pregnancy.
