Viewing ordained ministry as “a troubled profession” is not new. In his 1956 book, The Purpose of the Church and Its Ministry, H. Richard Niebuhr referred to the ministry as “The Perplexed Profession.” Niebuhr attributed the problem primarily to the lack of “a clear-cut, generally accepted conception of the office of the ministry” which he thought, at the time was emerging. Unfortunately, histo...

After the massive outbreak of infections with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) of serotype O104:H4 in Germany in the summer of 2011, post-outbreak surveillance for further infections with this type of STEC was maintained until the end of 2011. This surveillance was based on national mandatory reporting of STEC infections and the associated complication of haemolytic uraemic syndrom...

cludes an elucidation of the common surgical conditions in that area, indications for operation, discussion of prognosis, and an excellent section answering those questions most frequently asked by patients. While intended primarily for the lay public, this book obviously is of value to anyone dealing with patients. It might also, in a general way and by bringing together loose ends, be of valu...

A general statistical approach is described to couple the continuum with molecular dynamics in fluid simulation. Arbitrary thermodynamic field boundary conditions can be imposed on an MD system while minimally disturbing the particle dynamics of the system. The importance of incorporating a higher order single-particle distribution function in light of the Chapman–Enskog development is demonstr...

Glossary Contributing factors: These are determinants that directly or indirectly cause an outbreak. A contributing factor can be biological, behavioral, or attitudinal; or an element of the physical or social environment; or the result of policies related to the problem. Examples include retort, pasteurization, or cooking temperatures that do not destroy or reduce pathogens, poor personal hygi...
