Sich im Schlaf erholen, in Träumen Fantasiewelten erleben – diese Phasen sind für ein gesundes Leben essenziell. Dabei verändern sich Schlafen und Träumen mit den Lebensjahren: Babys müssen überhaupt erst einen Schlafrhythmus entwickeln, Teenager erleben eher eine intensive Eulenzeit – spät ins Bett, morgens todmüde in die Schule –, und manche Ältere lernen die »senile Bettflucht« kennen. Zeigen sich jedoch Störungen des üblichen Musters, kann es sich um Anzeichen für Krankheiten handeln

Menschen tun es, Katzen, Vögel, Kakerlaken und sogar Taufliegen: Die Rede ist natürlich vom Schlafen! Doch obwohl scheinbar alle Tierarten ein ausgeprägtes Ruhebedürfnis verspüren, gibt die Frage, warum wir eigentlich schlafen müssen, Forschern nach wie vor einige Rätsel auf. Klar ist nur: Gönnen wir uns auf Dauer zu wenig Nachtruhe, hat das in aller Regel ernsthafte Konsequenzen für unsere Gesundheit und unsere geistige Fitness. Dabei ist das Gehirn im Gegensatz zum restlichen Körper auch im Schlaf alles andere als untätig. Das zeigt sich am deutlichsten in der Phase des so genannten REM-Schlafs, in der wir oft auch lebhaft träumen. Manche Menschen können sich sogar darüber bewusst werden, dass sie gerade träumen und ihre Trauminhalte willentlich steuern. Was genau hinter dieser Fähigkeit steckt – und wie man sie sogar erlernen kann –, ist ebenfalls ein Thema dieses Kompakts.

Mental, neurological and substance use (MNS) disorders are highly prevalent, accounting for a substantial burden of disease and disability globally. In order to bridge the gap between available resources and the significant need for services, the World Health Organization launched the Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP). The objective of mhGAP is to scale-up care and services using evidence-based interventions for prevention and management of priority MNS conditions. The mhGAP Intervention Guide version 1.0 for MNS disorders for non-specialist health settings was developed in 2010 as a simple technical tool to allow for integrated management of priority MNS conditions using protocols for clinical decision-making. With uptake in over 90 countries, mhGAP-IG 1.0 version has had widespread success. It is our pleasure to present mhGAP version 2.0, with updates incorporating new evidence-based guidance, enhanced usability, and new sections to expand its use by both health care providers as well as programme managers. It is our hope that this guide will continue to provide the road-map to deliver care and services for people with MNS disorders around the world and lead us closer to achieving the goal of universal health coverage.

This completely revised successor to the Handbook of Microscopy supplies in-depth coverage of all imaging technologies from the optical to the electron and scanning techniques. Adopting a twofold approach, the book firstly presents the various technologies as such, before going on to cover the materials class by class, analyzing how the different imaging methods can be successfully applied. It covers the latest developments in techniques, such as in-situ TEM, 3D imaging in TEM and SEM, as well as a broad range of material types, including metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, minerals, quasicrystals, amorphous solids, among others. The volumes are divided between methods and applications, making this both a reliable reference and handbook for chemists, physicists, biologists, materials scientists and engineers, as well as graduate students and their lecturers.
