Motion of James Neff to Quash Subpoenas or Protective Order
This motion was filed by investigative journalist and author James Neff to quash a subpoena by the State and the Sheppard Estate. Neff began to investigate the murder of Marilyn Sheppard in 1989 with plans to publish his findings in a book titled, “Chasing the Fugitive”, with Random House Publishing. He argued that compelling him to testify, and make public the results of his investigation and research, prior to publication, would interfere, and likely injure, his livelihood as a self-employed investigative journalist. Neff asks the court not to compel him to testify, or in the alternative to compensate him for his testimony

Changes of the author type in Arcadian cycle by Ondřej Neff
Tato práce se zabývá dílem spisovatele Ondřeje Neffa se zaměřením na jeho tzv. Arkadský cyklus, tedy cyklus próz odehrávající se v budoucnosti především ve městě Arkádie na Luně. Práce se snaží na tomto cyklu ukázat základní prvky literárního projevu autora a zmapovat jeho literární vývoj a posun.This thesis deals with the work of an author Ondřej Neff focusing on his so called Arcadian cycle, in other words SF cycle of prose taking place in the future of our humankind, especially in "habitat" Arcadia on Luna. This thesis tries to show the basic elements of author's literature and map his literal progress and movement of dependence on his creative period.Katedra historických vědDokončená práce s úspěšnou obhajobo

The life of Pat Neff
Texas has had a number of colorful and unique personalities to serve in the capacity of governor, and each has contributed to the state. From the first governor after the annexation of Texas in 1846, J. Pinckney Henderson, until the present governor, Allan Shivers, Texas has never had repetition in personality, nor in policy. In between the first and present governor, Texas has had such contrasting figures as Sam Houston and Edmund J. Davis, James S. Hogg and S. W. T. Lanham, and James E. Ferguson and Baeauford Jester, To get a thorough understanding of the state necessitates an Introduction to the executives who have served both adequately and inadequately. In this thesis the Author has attempted to introduce some of the unpublished facts about one of Texas's most vivid leaders, Pat Morris Neff. The first chapter attempts to unfold a complete picture of Pat Neff's lineage, environment and early life. This introduction is vitally important for a complete understanding of Neff's philosophies and policies. The second chapter reveals the forming of Neff's political career. [...]History, Department o

Kontroverse Aspekte in der Versorgung von akuten und chronischen Erkrankungen des Kiefergelenkes - eine systematische Analyse
Das Themengebiet der vorliegenden kumulativen Dissertation sind Erkrankungen und Funktionsstörungen des Kiefergelenkes mit Analysen zum evidenzbasierten Vorgehen bei der idiopathischen Kondylusresorption, der Kiefergelenkluxation und den inflammatorischen Erkrankungen des Kiefergelenkes im Sinne der juvenilen idiopathischen Arthritis und rheumatoiden Arthritis des Kiefergelenkes.
Ziel der vorliegenden kumulativen Arbeit war es, offene Fragen bezüglich evidenz- und konsensusbasierter Diagnostik und Therapie zu identifizieren und die im Rahmen der Erstellung der jeweiligen S3-Leitlinien aufgetretenen Kontroversen und/oder Desiderate zu analysieren. Die Publikation der Ergebnisse dieser Analysen soll zur Ausrichtung künftiger Forschung beitragen und die Etablierung von Standards auf diesen Themengebieten ermöglichen.
Die Grundlage der vorliegenden Originalarbeiten bildete jeweils die umfassende Aktualisierung bzw. Erarbeitung der entsprechenden Leitlinien „Idiopathische Kondylusresorption“, Registernummer 007/066; „Kiefergelenkluxation“, Registernummer 007/063 (jeweils als Mitglied der Lenkungsgruppe Neff & Riechmann) und „Inflammatorische Erkrankungen des Kiefergelenks: Juvenile Idiopathische Arthritis (JIA) und Rheumatoide Arthritis (RA) des Kiefergelenks“, Registernummer 007/061 (Letztere als Koautorin). In eigener Arbeit fanden hierbei die Literaturrecherche inklusive Handsuche und Aktualisierungen, die anschließende Evidenzbewertung und Bewertung der methodischen Qualität der eingeschlossenen Publikationen, das Verfassen der Langfassung inklusive aktualisierten und neuen Empfehlungen und Statements sowie bei den Leitlinien „Idiopathische Kondylusresorption“, Registernummer 007/066 und „Kiefergelenkluxation“, Registernummer 007/063 die Initialisierung und Auswertung der Abstimmungsergebnisse der multiplen Delphi-Runden durch die Verfasserin der vorliegenden Arbeit als unabhängigen Monitor (nicht stimmberechtigt) statt. Anschließend erfolgte in eigener Arbeit das Verfassen der Kurzfassung und des Leitlinienreports. Die gesamte Leitlinienarbeit fand unter Anleitung und Korrektur von Herrn Prof. Dr. Dr. Neff statt.
Nach Abschluss der Arbeit ließ sich zusammenfassend feststellen, dass auf allen drei Themengebieten trotz zum Teil erstmaliger Festlegung neuer Standards und erheblichen Errungenschaften, z.B. in Form einer erstmals international konsentierten Nomenklatur der Kiefergelenkluxation, weiterhin großer Forschungsbedarf besteht. Aufgrund der geringen Patientenzahl bei epidemiologisch schlechter Datenlage bleiben evidenzbasierte Aussagen in vielen Bereichen weiterhin nur unter Vorbehalt möglich.The subject area of this cumulative dissertation is diseases and functional disorders of the temporo-mandibular joint with analyses of the evidence-based approach to idiopathic condylar resorption, temporomandibular joint dislocation and inflammatory diseases of the temporomandibular joint as in juvenile idiopathic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis of the temporomandibular joint.
The aim of this cumulative work was to identify open questions regarding evidence- and consensus-based diagnostics and therapy and to analyse the controversies that arose during the preparation of the respective S3 guidelines. The publication of the results of these analyses should contribute to the orientation of future research and enable the establishment of standards in these subject areas.
The foundation of these original works was the comprehensive updating and development of the corresponding guidelines „Idiopathische Kondylusresorption“, registry number 007/066; „Kieferge-lenkluxation“, registry number 007/063 (in each case as a member of the Neff & Riechmann steering group) and „Inflammatorische Erkrankungen des Kiefergelenks: Juvenile Idiopathische Arthritis (JIA) und Rheumatoide Arthritis (RA) des Kiefergelenks“, registry number 007/061 (the latter as co-author). The literature search including hand search and updates, the subsequent evidence assess-ment and evaluation of the methodological quality of the included publications, the writing of the long version including updated and new recommendations and statements as well as the initialisati-on and evaluation of the voting results of the multiple Delphi rounds for the guidelines „Idiopathische Kondylusresorption“, registry number 007/066 and „Kiefergelenkluxation“, registry number 007/063 were carried out by the author of the present work as an independent monitor (not entitled to vote). Subsequently, the abridged version and the guideline report were written in own work. The entire guideline work took place under the guidance and correction of Prof. Dr. Dr. Neff.
At the end of the work, it could be summarised that there is still a great need for research in all three subject areas, despite the establishment of new standards for the first time in some cases and considerable achievements, e.g. in the form of the first internationally agreed nomenclature for tem-poromandibular joint dislocation. Due to the small number of patients and the epidemiologically poor data situation, evidence-based statements are still only possible with reservations in many areas
