  Physicians lead. It’s an integral part of what they do. They lead patients, they lead healthcare teams, they lead colleagues, departments, and organizations. But most doctors receive very little training in leadership.Leon E. Moores, MD, DSc, FACS is a neurosurgeon and seasoned healthcare leader who literally “wrote the book” on physician leadership for the U.S. Army. A West Point graduate, Moores became an officer and a surgeon in the Army and recognized how the lack of formal leadership training for doctors impacts physician effectiveness, team performance, and patient outcomes. Along with a team of highly accomplished colleagues, he created the physician leadership development program that has been widely referenced by the U.S. military. Moores now shares that leadership wisdom, and the lessons he has learned through decades of healthcare organization leadership, with physicians everywhere and with all readers passionate about improving healthcare.

  Neurofeedback in ADHD

  Neurofeedback is an operant learning procedure where participants learn to gain self-control over specific aspects of neural activity. Thus, depending on the neurofeedback protocol applied behavioural, cognitive and / or emotional effects can be induced. Different assumptions about mechanisms, moderators and mediators of neurofeedback exist, associated with different ways of application. 
  
  EEG-based neurofeedback is used as a therapeutic approach in attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a clinically and pathophysiologically heterogeneous child psychiatric disorder. There is increasing evidence for specific effects of neurofeedback when applying 'standard' protocols (slow cortical potentials, theta/beta, SMR). Knowledge about underlying mechanisms and moderating variables is increasing. Nevertheless, further well-controlled and conducted trials are needed to answer open questions concerning optimisation and individualisation of neurofeedback training. Further improvements may be expected from new methodical and technical developments (e.g., tomographic neurofeedback) and new concepts (integrated ADHD treatment). 
  
  The Frontiers Reserach Topic intends to provide answers to the following questions concerning neurofeedback in ADHD: 
  • How efficacious is neurofeedback / does a certain neurofeedback protocol work? 
  • What is the rationale of applying a certain neurofeedback protocol in ADHD? 
  • What are central mechanisms and which moderating variables may affect training outcome? 
  • How to optimise treatment? What are new developments and which benefits may be expected?

  Chilean Salmon: Shared Responsibility offers a revealing look at salmon aquaculture in Chile, an industry at the crossroads of business ethics and environmental sustainability. Through an engaging narrative, Teodoro Wi- godski S., a distinguished academic and business director, explores the com- plexities and challenges of this prominent industry, which is vital to both the national economy and global well-being.
  Drawing from his experience as president of the Puerto Montt Port Company and his handling of the ISA virus crisis, Wigodski delves deeply into the con- flicts with local communities and environmental organizations, highlighting the opportunities for a development that respects economic, social, and en- vironmental values.
  This book is the result of rigorous research, including visits and interviews in both Chile and Norway. This journey, both intellectual and physical, not only unveils the internal challenges faced by the industry but also serves as a call to action to foster sustainable practices.
  Poised to become an essential resource in the debate over the future of aqua- culture, the book functions as an educational tool for students and profes- sionals from various disciplines. More than a mere collection of data, the work invites dialogue about shared responsibility in the sustainable develop- ment of the salmon industry.
  Discover the intricate relationship between business ethics, environmental sustainability, and economic development. This book is essential reading for those committed to building a future where harmony between industry and
  nature prevails.

  A different kind of politics for a new kind of society—beyond work, scarcity, and capitalism 
   
   
   
  In the twenty-first century, new technologies should liberate us from work. Automation, rather than undermining an economy built on full employment, is instead the path to a world of liberty, luxury, and happiness—for everyone. Technological advance will reduce the value of commodities—food, healthcare, and housing—towards zero. 
   
   
   
  Improvements in renewable energies will make fossil fuels a thing of the past. Asteroids will be mined for essential minerals. Genetic editing and synthetic biology will prolong life, virtually eliminate disease, and provide meat without animals. New horizons beckon. 
   
   
   
  In Fully Automated Luxury Communism, Aaron Bastani conjures a vision of extraordinary hope, showing how we move to energy abundance, feed a world of 9 billion, overcome work, transcend the limits of biology, and establish meaningful freedom for everyone. Rather than a final destination, such a society merely heralds the real beginning of history.

  The Chick and the Dead - Life...

  Carla Valentine works with the dead. After studying forensics, she assisted pathologists with post-mortems for years before becoming the curator of the world's most famous pathology museum. When it comes to death, she truly is an expert, and in this book she shares that expertise. 
   
   
   
  Using the most common post-mortem process as the backbone of the narrative, The Chick and the Dead takes the listener through the process of an autopsy while also describing the history and changing cultures of our relationship with the dead. The book is full of vivid insight into what happens to our bodies in the end. Each chapter considers an aspect of an autopsy alongside an aspect of Carla's own life and work and touches on some of the more controversial aspects of our feelings towards death, including the relationship between sex and death and our attitudes toward human tissue collection. 
   
   
   
  Starting with the first cut, we move from external examination into the body itself, discovering more about the heart, stomach, and brain, and into dismembered and reconstructed bodies, at each stage taking a colorful detour into the question of what these things can teach us about the living.

  Making Sense of Intersex -...

  A philosopher offers a framework for the treatment of intersex children, and a moral argument for responsibility to them and their families. 
   
  Putting the ethical tools of philosophy to work, Ellen K. Feder seeks to clarify how we should understand “the problem” of intersex. Adults often report that medical interventions they underwent as children to “correct” atypical sex anatomies caused them physical and psychological harm. Proposing a philosophical framework for the treatment of children with intersex conditions—one that acknowledges the intertwined identities of parents, children, and their doctors—Feder presents a persuasive moral argument for collective responsibility to these children and their families. 
   
  “In a voice both urgent and nuanced, Feder squarely faces the complexities that accompany the care of people with atypical sex anatomies in medical science. . . . Rich with cross-discipline potential, Feder’s engaging argument should provide a new approach for doctors and parents caring for children with atypical sex anatomy.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review 
   
  “Feder’s book is a welcome injection of new ideas into feminist scholarship on intersex, post-Consensus Statement era.” —Women’s Review of Books 
   
  “Is a work of philosophy capable of bringing insightful new perspectives or illuminating and forceful arguments to an urgent social matter so as truly to effect a felt change in the lives of people concerned by it? Feder’s book is capable of this effect. As such, it takes the risk of calling forth a new public, or a new readership, and so is a work whose appeal could well be ahead of its time. But its time should be here.” —International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 
   
  “Making Sense of Intersex significantly enhances our understanding of intersex and the ethical issues involved in medical practice more generally.” —Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal
