Das Vorkommen von non-vaskulärer und vaskulärer altersabhängiger Makuladegeneration nach unilateraler rhegmatogener Ablatio retinae.

In dieser retrospektiven Studie wurden 56 Patienten älter 55 Jahre mit unilateraler Ablatio retinae einschließlich der Makula zwischen Juli 2004 und Oktober 2005 in der Augenklinik in Marburg auf das Vorkommen einer altersabhängigen Makuladegeneration untersucht. Der Zeitraum zwischen operativer Behandlung der Ablatio retinae war bei allen Patienten mehr als 3 Jahre. Jeder Patient erhielt eine ausführliche ophthalmologische Untersuchung einschließlich einer Fluoreszenzangiographie. Diese wurden dann auf das Vorkommen einer altersbedingten Makuladegeneration untersucht

Assistants, Guides, Collaborators, Friends: The Concealed Figures of Conflict Research

Recent scholarship has demonstrated an increasing awareness of the need for more grounded, empirical research into the micro-level dynamics of violent contexts. Research in these difficult, dangerous, and potentially violent conflict or post-conflict settings necessitates the formation of new relationships of dependency, and assistants, friends, collaborators, and guides become central figures in the field. However, all too often, these figures are written out of academic accounts and silenced in our analyses. This not only does them a significant disservice, but it also obscures potential biases, complexities, and ethical dilemmas that emerge in the way in which such research is carried out. Drawing upon fieldwork exploring the 2007–2008 Kenyan postelection violence, this paper argues that reliance upon insider-assistants is essential in conflict settings and explores the challenges inherent in these relationships. As researchers become increasingly engaged in micro-level studies of violent contexts, we must interrogate the realities of how our knowledge has been produced and engage in more open and honest discussions of the methodological and ethical challenges of conflict research

Unidos nos hacemos respetar : jóvenes, identidades y violencia en Ayacucho

"El libro de Cordula Strocka es el mejor que se ha escrito hasta el momento sobre las pandillas juveniles en el Perú. La autora utiliza una rigurosa metodología, combina la antropología y la psicología social, y realiza un fascinante trabajo de campo con jóvenes ayacuchanos para analizar sus discursos y prácticas. Es un trabajo de excelente calidad académica, de actualidad e interés público, y de relevancia política para un tema de alta sensibilidad social."–Contracarátula
