- Miasma Theory - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Germ and miasma theories Until the early and middle parts of the 19th century, the causation of disease was hotly debated The miasma theory, holding that disease was the result of environmental emanations or miasmas, referenced Greek and Roman medicine and Hippocrates’s treatise On Air, Water, and Places
- Was ist eigentlich ein Miasma? - ScienceDirect
Das Wort Miasma gehört zu denjenigen Begriffen in der Homöopathie, die häufiger missverstanden, gar nicht verstanden oder einfach ignoriert werden Dieser Beitrag ist ein Versuch, sich dem Begriff auf allgemeinverständliche Art zu nähern und die homöopathische Miasmentheorie besser durchschaubar zu machen
- Entrepreneurial miasma: Organizational miasma as a theoretical lens for . . .
Second, the specific outcomes of miasma during founder exits are discussed We then provide a discussion of how to recover from entrepreneurial miasma and guidance for practitioners The paper concludes by outlining how the theoretical model we develop advances the theory of miasma, both in organizations as well as in venture contexts
- Florence Nightingales Environmental Theory and its influence on . . .
Germ theory, contagion and the Miasma hypothesis were all current trends, or beliefs in the 19th century Although little was known on each account, germ theory acknowledged the presence of disease-causing micro-organisms and the subsequent introduction of sterilisation and sterile surgical techniques (Britannica, 2020)
- Aerosol transmission of human pathogens: From miasmata to modern viral . . .
The idea evolved into miasma theory, which became widely accepted by medical practitioners throughout much of the Old World The theory postulated the presence of pathogenic evil smelling mists derived from decaying organic matter and full of tiny particles, the pestilential seeds of the Greco-Roman medical practitioner Galen ( Galen, 165–175 , Jouanna, 2012 )
- A case study in explanatory power: John Snow’s conclusions about the . . .
The miasma theory could not explain why the mining population suffered worse than other groups; even worse, this was in fact problematic for the miasma theory, since the miasmas were not supposed to exist in the pits underground There also seemed to be no other reason on the miasma theory as to why the miners should be affected so severely
- Germ Theory of Disease - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
In Europe, the miasma theory was replaced by the germ theory of disease during the late 1800s with discoveries and developments by Pasteur, Agostino Bassi, Ignaz Semmelweis, and Robert Koch Robert Koch’s postulates have influenced modern developments in pathogenesis to help guide gene encoding
- A case study in explanatory power: John Snow’s . . . - ScienceDirect
Despite much confusion surrounding various aspects of the disease, the so-called miasma theory emerged as the prevalent account about cholera’s cause Going against this mainstream view, the British physician John Snow (1813–1858), during this time, inferred several things about the origin and pathology of cholera that no one else inferred, and that, at the time, were unobservable
- Entrepreneurial miasma: Organizational miasma as a theoretical lens for . . .
Miasma, a concept adapted from the organizational literature, refers to a state of contagion or pollution that affects all members of an organization causing potentially irreparable damage This study develops a model of miasma in venture contexts when founders exit, a term we refer to as entrepreneurial miasma
- Structural realism beyond physics - ScienceDirect
The miasma theory of disease is best described as a cluster of related views, all of which shared assumptions about the nature of so-called ‘miasma’ 4 According to this cluster, diseases were brought about and passed on through decomposing organic material that would disperse into the air as noxious and disease-causing odours, the miasmas
