Abstract The authors do the field of cultural evolution a service by exploring the role of non-social cognition in human cumulative technological culture, truly neglected in comparison with socio-cognitive abilities frequently assumed to be the primary drivers. Some specifics of their delineation of the critical factors are problematic, however. I highlight recent chimpanzee–human comparative findings that should help refine such analyses.

Prozesse in einer Reha-Klinik können natürlich auch ohne Lean Management oder ein Prozesscontrolling ablaufen. Die Lean Philosophie kann aber dabei helfen, die Wettbewerbsfaktoren Zeit, Kosten und Qualität zu optimieren, um sich gegenüber den Wettbewerbern und im Reha-Markt langfristig zu behaupten.

ABSTRACT Among the critical factors in organ perfusion are (1) the mechanical components of the system, (2) the composition of the perfusate, and (3) the perfusing conditions. In this review, particular consideration is given to the pump, the oxygenator, and cannulas in such systems. Emphasis is placed upon the selection of pertinent equipment for the goals of a particular perfusion experiment, based upon the criteria of adequacy of the perfusion. Common problems in organ perfusion are summarized, and potential solutions to the perfusion problem, involving either biologic or mechanical extracorporeal systems, are suggested.
