Radiation exposure causes harm to humans and is strictly controlled by several regulatory authorities (NRC, FDA, EPA, DOT, etc). The practice of nuclear medicine involves the use of radioactive materials in patients and research, and is well regulated by these agencies. However, information on radiation safety practice in nuclear medicine and research areas is scattered throughout the literature and federal registers. For busy nuclear technologists and professionals, it is quite time consuming to look for and acquire specific information and instructions to follow in radiation-related occasions and incidents. This guide provides ready-made, handy information on radiation safety as required in the practice of nuclear medicine, presented in a concise form for easy understanding and quick reference related to a given situation and/or incident. This is an ideal reference for nuclear medicine physicians, nuclear medicine technologists, and researchers using radioactive materials. .Nuclear medicineMedical physicsRadiationNuclear Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H29048Medical and Radiation Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27060Nuclear medicine.Medical physics.Radiation.Nuclear Medicine.Medical and Radiation Physics.614.839616.07575Saha Gopal Bauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut520745BOOK9910349361703321Radiation Safety in Nuclear Medicine1737502UNINA02837nam 2200373 n 450 991088798330332120230511205325.01-003-69987-1(CKB)5470000000567098(NjHacI)995470000000567098(EXLCZ)99547000000056709820230511d2020 uu 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMissionary Men in the Early Modern World German Jesuits and Pacific Journeys /Ulrike StrasserAmsterdam :Amsterdam University Press,2020.1 online resource (274 pages)94-6298-630-4 Acknowledgements -- Introduction: Missionary Men on the Move: Jesuits and Gender in the Early Modern World -- Chapter 1.

What did it take to become a missionary man? And how did missionary masculinity align itself with the European colonial project? This book highlights the central importance of male affective ties and masculine mimesis in the formation of the Jesuit missions, as well as the significance of patriarchal dynamics. Focussing on previously neglected German figures, Strasser shows how stories of exemplary male behavior circulated across national boundaries, directing the hearts and feet of men throughout Europe towards Jesuit missions in faraway lands. The sixteenth-century Iberian exemplars of Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier, disseminated in print and visual media, inspired late seventeenth-century Jesuits from German-speaking lands to bring Catholicism and European gender norms to the Spanish-controlled Pacific. As Strasser demonstrates, the age of global missions hinged on the reproduction of missionary manhood in print and real life.Missionary Men in the Early Modern World MissionariesMissionaries.266.00922Strasser Ulrike1217024NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910887983303321Missionary Men in the Early Modern World2814180UNINA
