Band 2 der „Baden-Badener Strafrechtsgespräche“ dokumentiert einen Workshop, der am 29. und 30. April 2016 in Baden-Baden zum Generalthema „Verdacht“ stattfand. Die Beiträge von 24 Spezialisten aus den Bereichen Strafrechtswissenschaft, Gesetzgebung, Justiz, Strafverteidigung und Medien beleuchten das Thema aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln. Sie sind – geringfügig erweitert – in den Sammelband ebenso aufgenommen wie die intensiven und weiterführenden Diskussionen der Tagung.Insgesamt ergibt sich ein pointiertes, aber doch repräsentatives Bild der Bedeutung des „Verdachts“ in seiner rechtsdogmatischen, vor allem aber auch rechtspolitischen und praktischen Wirklichkeit. Das Nachdenken über die Bedeutung des Verdachts enthüllt die alltagstheoretisch geläufige Einstiegsschwelle des Strafverfahrens als einen in materieller wie formeller Hinsicht hochsensiblen, kommunikativ-dynamischen Sinnzusammenhang, der die strafrechtliche Verfolgung von sozialen Abweichungen in spezifischer Weise strukturiert.Mit Beiträgen von:Stephan Barton, Stefan Conen, Kirstin Drenkhahn, Ralf Eschelbach, Rolf Fimmers, Thomas Fischer, Rainer Hamm, Elisa Hoven, Matthias Jahn, Simone Kämpfer, Eberhard Kempf, Stefan König, Matthias Korte, Hans-Ludwig Kröber, Werner Leitner, Cornelius Prittwitz, Rolf Raum, Sabine Rückert, Franz Salditt, Heiner Schmidt, Lorenz Schulz, Johann Schwenn, Carl-Friedrich Stuckenberg, Gerson Trüg, Thomas Weigend, Wolfgang Wohlers.

„Es ist schon eine Crux mit den Medizindoktoranden. Da kommen sie in Deine Sprechstunde, machen Dir schöne Augen - und wollen doch nur später mal das Dr. med. auf ihrem Praxisschild. Was hat das mit Wissenschaft zu tun? Gar nichts.“ Schreibt Prof. Dr. Christian Rittner in seinem Vorwort. Aus der Sicht des erfahrenen Hochschullehrers und in Beiträgen von 24 ehemaligen Doktorandinnen und Doktoranden wird die Sinnhaftigkeit eines Promotionsvorhabens aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven beleuchtet. Das solcherart entstandene Buch möchte aus dieser eher unüblichen Betrachtungsweise Orientierung bieten zum Für und Wider einer Promotion.'Ich halte dafür, dass das einzige Ziel der Wissenschaft darin besteht, die Mühseligkeiten der menschlichen Existenz zu erleichtern.'Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956)

Neurosurgery is a vast subspecialty in medical sciences. A brief textbook covering all aspects of neurosurgery is probably rare, especially for postgraduate students, undergraduate students as well as general physicians. The available neurosurgery textbooks are either very details or do not cover all parts of neurosurgery. This book is going to be very useful to those who will be sitting for a neurosurgery postgraduate examination/board examination or looking for concise ideas on neurosurgery. This book is based on recent and established scientific data, covering all parts of neurosurgery that can help them a lot including practicing neurosurgeons and neuroscientists as well. Here more emphasis will be given to common neurosurgical conditions without ignoring less frequent conditions.

The practice of endovascular neurosurgery is becoming more and more common. Endovascular techniques have increased our understanding of cerebrovascular diseases, and evolving technologies have expanded our means of treatment. This increasing complexity requires a neurosurgeon to increase clinical capacity and develop professional knowledge. However, narrow clinical focus also breeds prejudice, competition and controversy. These reactions may be positive when they stimulate innovation, improve patient outcomes, cause suspicion and hinder progress. Now these factors are more common in neurovascular surgery. Endovascular technology has become a legitimate alternative to open neurosurgical technology. In this textbook, we focus on brain AVMs, which is the last difficulty of endovascular neurosurgery. Neurosurgeons, endovascular neurosurgeons and interventional neuroradiologists are invited to publicly express their views and practices. The authors are very famous in the world and their contributions are very valuable. We believe in “the more you express your skills, the more experienced you become and the closer you get the excellence”. This book provides many disruptive innovations and completely changes our previous understanding of brain AVMs. Three sections are included in this book: AVM of the brain is one type of systemic vascular abnormality; endovascular therapy of AVM of the brain; pathophysiology and pathogenesis of AVM and its surgical management and radiotherapy. We also provide a chapter of development of endovascular neurosurgery in China, which the readers may be interested in.

Addiction focuses on the emergence, nature, and persistence of addictive behavior, as well as the efforts of addicts to overcome their condition. Do addicts act of their own free will, or are they driven by forces beyond their control? Do structured treatment programs offer more hope for recovery? What causes relapses to occur? Recent scholarship has focused attention on the voluntary aspects of addiction, particularly the role played by choice. Addiction draws upon this new research and the investigations of economists, psychiatrists, philosophers, neuropharmacologists, historians, and sociologists to offer an important new approach to our understanding of addictive behavior. The notion that addicts favor present rewards over future gains or penalties echoes throughout the chapters in Addiction. The effect of cultural values and beliefs on addicts, and on those who treat them, is also explored, particularly in chapters by Elster on alcoholism and by Acker on American heroin addicts in the 1920s and 1930s. Essays by Gardner and by Waal and Mørland discuss the neurobiological roots of addiction Among their findings are evidence that addictive drugs also have an important effect on areas of the central nervous system unrelated to euphoria or dysphoria, and that tolerance and withdrawal phenomena vary greatly from drug to drug. The plight of addicts struggling to regain control of their lives receives important consideration in Addiction. Elster, Skog, and O'Donoghue and Rabin look at self-administered therapies ranging from behavioral modifications to cognitive techniques, and discuss conditions under which various treatment strategies work. Drug-based forms of treatment are discussed by Gardner, drawing on work that suggests that parts of the population have low levels of dopamine, inducing a tendency toward sensation-seeking. There are many different explanations for the impulsive, self-destructive behavior that is addiction. By bringing the triple perspective of neurobiology, choice, and culture to bear on the phenomenon, Addiction offers a unique and valuable source of information and debate on a problem of world-wide proportions.
