This is a major contribution to the expanding field of the history of alternative medicine in Germany. Martin Dinges, historian and archivist of the Homeopathy Archives of the Robert Bosch Institute for the History of Medicine, demands a new approach towards the history of homeopathy in order to overcome the traditional interest, which concentrated mainly on Samuel Hahnemann and the effect of c...

In this paper two nonparametric tests for monotonic trend detection are compared with respect to their power and accuracy. The importance of comparing powers at equal empirical signiicance levels rather than nominal levels, is stressed. Therefore, an appropriate graphical method is presented. The eeect of the sampling frequency is also assessed using a trajectory representation that visualizes ...

I welcome the latest issue of the Health and Human Rights Journal with a Special Section on Tuberculosis (TB) and the Right to Health. TB is indeed a major challenge to global health. It is one of the most serious impediments to the attainment of the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that recognise the interdependence of health and development. SDG 3 aims to “attain healthy lives and wel...

We present a general method for extracting the Gell Mann-Low logarithmic derivative of an e ective charge of an observable directly from data as a mean for empirically verifying the universal terms of the QCD -function. Our method avoids the biases implicit in tting to QCD-motivated forms as well as the interpolation errors introduced by constructing derivatives from discrete data. We also deri...
