چکیده

Date Received: 25 September, 1997 Accepted: 12 December, 1997 Introduction Before I expose my subject, I would like to pay tribute to the memory of Dr. Brock Chisholm, first Director-General of the World Health Organization, whose memory inspired the establishment of this lecture. Those who did so obviously hoped to create a chain of inspiration leading from the root of the Organization into the future, and thus, build a monument to this great man. The World Health Organization (WHO) is an organization characterized by the meeting of several disciplines: medicine, of course, but also social science, psychology, law, political science, diplomacy, and ethics, just to mention the most important ones. It is especially the combination medicine, law, and ethics that interests me, because it is at the basis of much of the human rights work I have done in the past. The creation of a sound society requires the participation of sound people, both mentally and physically. A society dominated by force and violence produces fear in its participants, and fear is crippling, paralyzing, and debilitating in its effects — a negation of health as conceived by WHO. For, in its far-sighted spirit under the guidance of Dr. Brock Chisholm, this World Health Organization, from its very inception, established a fundamental concept of health that is very germane to the subject that I wish to develop. The WHO Constitution defines "health" as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". The absence not only of physical, but also of mental and social well-being, therefore, constitutes a lack of health, an ill-being that is so characteristic of violence, fear, persecution, and loss of human dignity.

Quality Tools to Reduce Crankshaft Forging Defects: An Industrial Case Study

Crankshafts are the most important loaded components in the case of an automobile. In order to achieve required mechanical properties most of crankshafts for automobile are forged with micro alloyed steel. Usually, the shapes of crankshafts are complex, and many defects are induced during the process of crankshaft forging such as under-filling, laps and folds etc. In this work the forging analy...

Simulation in der umFormteCHniK Modeling of Machine and Tool Elasticity in Coupled Forging Simulation

This paper presents an approach for a holistic simulation of forging processes considering the interactions between forging press, tooling system and forging process. It can be used in coupled simulations and will enable industrial users in forging industry to do simulation-aided tool optimizations in the design stage of newly developed forging dies. The final aim is to reduce the time-consumin...

EVALUATION OF FORGING PARAMETERS ON AL-7075 AIRCRAFT DOOR BRACKET BY SIMULATION

The purpose of this research is to achieve the optimal parameters for producing forged aluminium alloy 7075 aircraft door bracket by using finite element modelling (FEM) with commercial DEFORM-3D V6.1 and physical simulations with plasticine and Plexiglas dies. Also, forging speed has been examined as the main factor for controlling to produce a part without any defects. The results of Physical...

Rational Zero: Economic Security for Zerocoin with Everlasting Anonymity

Zerocoin proposed adding decentralized cryptographically anonymous e-cash to Bitcoin. Given the increasing popularity of Bitcoin and its reliance on a distributed pseudononymous public ledger, this anonymity is important if only to provide the same minimal privacy protections from nosy neighbors offered by conventional banking. Unfortunately, at 25KB, the non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs f...
