Sommario/riassunto

Par sa maîtrise parfaite des traitements d'images, par sa connaissance des techniques de laboratoire les plus modernes, et surtout par son approche méthodique du terrain, l'auteur de cet ouvrage apporte certainement la meilleure étude française du milieu naturel yucatèque, avec des informations inédites sur la spéléologie et la géomorphologie karstique tropicale, le volcanisme régional ou encore les variations du niveau de la mer dans la région caraïbe.

Sommario/riassunto

In this Special Issue, authors from nine countries on five continents provide overviews on and insights into current research topics related to the 'Genetic Complexity of Hormone-Sensitive Cancers'. The chapters cover topics on completely novel technologies and instruments revolutionizing our view of biological entities, and also, novel extensions and revisions of existing and well-established technologies such as genetic probes and bar-coding techniques, which add a new dimension to microscopy, as they allow us to visualize DNA sequences and mRNA in situ. With this Special Issue, the editors wanted to create a forum for the international biomedical research community to compile their data on the genetic complexity of cancer in a unique resource. While this collection of articles cannot certainly claim completeness in any way, it represents an attractive collection of the different aspects of hormone-dependent cancers and will hopefully encourage further targeted research.

Sommario/riassunto

In commerce, many moral failures are due to narrow mindsets that preclude taking into account the moral dimensions of a decision or action. In turn, sometimes these mindsets are caused by failing to question managerial decisions from a moral point of view, because of a



perceived authority of management. In the 1960s, Stanley Milgram conducted controversial experiments to investigate just how far obedience to an authority figure could subvert his subjects' moral beliefs. In this thought-provoking work, the authors examine the prevalence of narrow mental models and the phenomenon of obedience to an authority to analyse and understand the challenges which business professionals encounter in making ethical decisions. Obstacles to Ethical Decision-Making proposes processes - including collaborative input and critique - by which individuals may reduce or overcome these challenges. It provides decision-makers at all levels in an organisation with the means to place ethical considerations at the heart of managerial decision-making.
