Synopsis Exploring Twins by : E. Stewart

Exploring Twins presents an analysis of twinship considered as a specifically social phenomenon. Drawing upon a wide range of interdisciplinary, historical and cross-cultural data, Dr Stewart argues that in both traditional and modern societies, twinship represents a recurrent anomaly which calls into question the assumptions around which different types of society are organized. Part One identifies and analyses the fascinating range of cultural and disciplinary approaches to the interpretation of twinship, while Part Two considers the possibilities for a distinctively social analysis of twinship.

Synopsis Exploring the Advancements and Future Directions of Digital Twins in Healthcare 6.0 by : Dubey, Archi

The healthcare industry is increasingly complex, demanding personalized treatments and efficient operational processes. Traditional research methods need help to keep pace with these demands, often leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal outcomes. Integrating digital twin technology presents a promising solution to these challenges, offering a virtual platform for modeling and simulating complex healthcare scenarios. However, the full potential of digital twins still needs to be explored mainly due to a lack of comprehensive guidance and practical insights for researchers and practitioners. Exploring the Advancements and Future Directions of Digital Twins in Healthcare 6.0 is not just a theoretical exploration. It is a practical guide that bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering real-world case studies, best practices, and insights into personalized medicine, real-time patient monitoring, and healthcare process optimization. By equipping you with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively integrate digital twins into your healthcare research and operations, this book is a valuable resource for researchers, academicians, medical practitioners, scientists, and students.

Synopsis The Twin Enigma by : Vivienne Lewin

The book offers a unique in-depth understanding of the twin relationship, and the way in which twin development is affected by our attitudes to twins and our enduring fascination with them. It explores our historical fascination with this subject and the origins of this excitement, how our perceptions of twins reflect our own longing for a perfect soul-mate, and the effect this personal projection has on the development in twins. It is a book written with the general reader in mind rather than "experts". Twins share a deep psychic bond that forms the core of their twinship, but they are never identical. Many factors will affect their development, including the early mutual resonances and sensate experiences between them, and parental and societal attitudes in raising them.

Synopsis Twins by : William Viney

Human twins have many meanings and different histories. They have been seen as gods and monsters, signs of danger, death, and sexual deviance. They are taken as objects of wonder and violent repression, the subjects of scientific experiment. Now millions are born through fertility technologies. Their history is often buried in philosophies and medical theories, religious and scientific practices, and countless stories of devotion and tragedy. In this history of superstitions and marvels, fantasies and experiments, William Viney—himself a twin—shows how the use and abuse of twins has helped to shape the world in which we live. This book has been written not just for twins, but for anyone interested in their historical, global, and political impact.

Synopsis Twins Talk by : Dona Lee Davis

Twins Talk is an ethnographic study of identical twins in the United States, a study unique in that it considers what twins have to say about themselves, instead of what researchers have written about them. It presents, in the first person, the grounded and practical experiences of twins as they engage, both individually and together, the “who am I” and “who are we” questions of life. Here, the twins themselves are the stars. Dona Lee Davis conducted conversational interviews with twenty-two sets of identical twins attending the Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, the largest such gathering in the world. Lively and often opinionated, each twin comes through as a whole person who at the same time maintains a special bond that the vast majority of people will never experience. The study provides a distinctive and enlightening insider’s challenge to the nature/nurture debates that dominate contemporary research on twins. The author, herself an identical twin, draws on aspects of her own life to inform her analysis of the data throughout the text. Each chapter addresses a different theme from multiple viewpoints, including those of popular science writers, scientific researchers, and singletons, as well as those of the twins themselves.

Synopsis Is Autistic Spectrum Disorder Genetic? Exploring the Arguments by : Sanum Ghafoor

Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Health - Miscellaneous, grade: B, Brunel University, language: English, abstract: Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of neurodevelopmental disorders, characterised by varying degrees of social, imaginative and communicative deficits. ASD includes autism, pervasive developmental disorder, Rett’s disorder and childhood disintegrative disorder. Some argue that ASD is genetic, with de novo mutations, copy number variations and chromosomal abnormalities, influencing an ASD individual’s behaviour. Others argue it may be caused by the environment and specific experiences, such as maternal stress during postpartum and prenatal development, may be the underlying cause. This essay will explore these arguments, looking at twin studies, at broader phenotype and at prenatal/postpartum development, specifically in relational to maternal stress. It will conclude that ASD is not solely genetic, but can also be influenced by environmental factors.
