Partners in Palliative Care Enhancing Ethics in Care at the End-of-Life

Partners in Palliative Care Enhancing Ethics in Care at the End-of-Life

The Collaborative for Palliative Care (Collaborative) is a grassroots consortium of public and private organizations that came together in 2005 for the purposes of studying the increasing need for palliative care and the methods for such care. It has grown from a small fledgling group to a membership of over 50 community-based organizations and volunteers dedicated to improving care of the seriously ill through education research and advocacy. The Collaborative bridges policy research and practice in its initiatives and vision for the future. Partners in Palliative Care examines specific areas of concern that the Collaborative has addressed in its education programs and advocacy as well as the collaborative processes that have been so successful in building community assets. Areas of concentration have been diverse and include advance care planning relational communication paradigms community capacity building the role of culture and spirituality in palliative care the meaning of pain and suffering for seriously ill individuals and the ethics of health care costs in palliative and end-of-life systems of care. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life and Palliative Care. | Partners in Palliative Care Enhancing Ethics in Care at the End-of-Life

The End of Physiotherapy

The End of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is arriving at a critical point in its history. Since World War I physiotherapy has been one of the largest allied health professions and the established provider of orthodox physical rehabilitation. But ageing populations of increasingly chronically ill people a growing scepticism towards biomedicine and the changing economy of healthcare threaten physiotherapy’s long-held status. Paradoxically physiotherapy’s affinity for treating the ‘body-as-machine’ has resulted in an almost complete inability to identify the roots of the profession’s present problems or define possible ways forward. Physiotherapists need to engage in critically informed theoretical discussion about the profession’s past present and future - to explore their practice from economic philosophical political and sociological perspectives. The End of Physiotherapy aims to explain how physiotherapy has arrived at this critical point in its history and to point to a new future for the profession. The book draws on critical analyses of the historical and social conditions that have made present-day physiotherapy possible. Nicholls examines some of the key discourses that have had a positive impact on the profession in the past but now threaten to derail it. This book makes it possible for physiotherapists to think otherwise about their profession and their day-to-day practice. It will be essential reading for scholars and students of physiotherapy interprofessional and community rehabilitation as well as appealing to those working in medical sociology the medical humanities medical history and health care policy.

Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Women in Mycenaean Greece is the first book-length study of women in the Linear B tablets from Mycenaean Greece and the only to collect and compile all the references to women in the documents of the two best attested sites of Late Bronze Age Greece - Pylos on the Greek mainland and Knossos on the island of Crete. The book offers a systematic analysis of women’s tasks holdings and social and economic status in the Linear B tablets dating from the 14th and 13th centuries BCE identifying how Mycenaean women functioned in the economic institutions where they were best attested - production property control land tenure and cult. Analysing all references to women in the Mycenaean documents the book focuses on the ways in which the economic institutions of these Bronze Age palace states were gendered and effectively extends the framework for the study of women in Greek antiquity back more than 400 years. Throughout the book seeks to establish whether gender practices were uniform in the Mycenaean states or differed from site to site and to gauge the relationship of the roles and status of Mycenaean women to their Archaic and Classical counterparts to test if the often-proposed theories of a more egalitarian Bronze Age accurately reflect the textual evidence. The Linear B tablets offer a unique if under-utilized point of entry into women’s history in ancient Greece documenting nearly 2000 women performing over fifty task assignments. From their decipherment in 1952 one major gap in the scholarly record remained: a full accounting of the women who inhabited the palace states and their tasks ranks and economic contributions. Women in Mycenaean Greece fills that gap recovering how class rank and other social markers created status hierarchies among women how women as a group functioned relative to men and where different localities conformed or diverged in their gender practices. | Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Front End Engineering Design of Oil and Gas Projects: Critical Factors for Project Success Perspectives Case Studies and Lessons

Front End Engineering Design of Oil and Gas Projects: Critical Factors for Project Success Perspectives Case Studies and Lessons

Quite a large number of major oil and gas projects are failures with respect to their costs schedules and operational performance. Owner companies and contractors are struggling with the issues causing these failures. The Front End Engineering Design (FEED) has been identified as an important factor that plays a key role in determining the success of a project. However the FEED and the associated Front End Loading (FEL) do not get the attention they deserve from the players in the business namely the owner companies FEED and EPC contractors. While academic studies on the FEL and its failures are available how the seeds of failures are sown during an actual project FEED remains a mystery. The details are usually buried in the rubbished computers and hundreds of files that are shelved in companies' offices. In this unique book two experienced professionals one from an owner company and the other from an international EPC contractor whose interests often oppose each other join to give their perspectives about the project lifecycle its governance structure gate system complexities contract models and quality measurements. In the second part of the book they present case studies of projects gone wrong due to mismatches errors and inconsistencies in the FEED. These case histories reveal how avoidable gaps and errors creep into FEED resulting in project failures and how the review systems fail to detect them. Technical and business professionals seem to underestimate the importance of FEED in capital-intensive major projects while focusing on short-term goals. The underlying causal factors need to be addressed and resolved in time properly for ensuring success of major oil and gas projects. Written in a concise and practical style with key takeaways at the end of each chapter this book will be a useful guide for practicing project and engineering professionals in the oil and gas industry. Senior students and researchers will find ideas and viewpoints given in this book worth exploring further. | Front End Engineering Design of Oil and Gas Projects: Critical Factors for Project Success Perspectives Case Studies and Lessons

While airlines have been looking into the next generation of retailing practices for several years developments since the beginning of 2020 have accelerated the need to take retailing to a new paradigm. A singular focus now is the ever-changing demands of the current and next generation of customers and employees and managing their values. Examples of customer needs include a mobile-first approach rich content augmented and personalized end-to-end services with seamless consistent and contextualized experiences. While these concepts of retailing are not new the challenge has been in bringing them to reality due to (a) the constraints of legacy systems and processes while transitioning to next-generation retailing systems (b) the inaccessibility of real-time data coming from a wide variety of sources such as online shopping social media and operations (c) the inability to monitor real-time behavior of customers and employees (d) the lack of effective collaboration and cooperation within the travel ecosystem and (e) the increasing lack of trust on the part of customers. This book provides a framework and technologies to convert retailing concepts—from shopping to fulfillment—into reality by (a) renovating an airline’s core and ancillary products (b) progressing faster on digital and organizational transformation journeys to make better data-based decisions about retailing (c) getting better at managing customer value by knowing who the customers are (d) empowering supporting and listening to employees to meet their expectations (e) asking the right questions to solve complex retailing problems relating to customers competitors and stakeholders and (f) questioning common-held beliefs about the airline business. This book is indispensable for all airline executives and senior managers as well as airline and airport commercial managers. It will also be enormously beneficial for retailers dealing with airlines and airports. | Strategic Airline Retailing and Solutions From Offers to Fulfillment to Loyalty

Direct Sum Decompositions of Torsion-Free Finite Rank Groups

Direct Sum Decompositions of Torsion-Free Finite Rank Groups

With plenty of new material not found in other books Direct Sum Decompositions of Torsion-Free Finite Rank Groups explores advanced topics in direct sum decompositions of abelian groups and their consequences. The book illustrates a new way of studying these groups while still honoring the rich history of unique direct sum decompositions of groups. Offering a unified approach to theoretic concepts this reference covers isomorphism endomorphism refinement the Baer splitting property Gabriel filters and endomorphism modules. It shows how to effectively study a group G by considering finitely generated projective right End(G)-modules the left End(G)-module G and the ring E(G) = End(G)/N(End(G)). For instance one of the naturally occurring properties considered is when E(G) is a commutative ring. Modern algebraic number theory provides results concerning the isomorphism of locally isomorphic rtffr groups finitely faithful S-groups that are J-groups and each rtffr L-group that is a J-group. The book concludes with useful appendices that contain background material and numerous examples.

Astronomy and Astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib

Astronomy and Astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib

This new volume of papers by Julio Sams³ deals with the development of astronomy and astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib between the 10th and the 19th centuries. Opening with a survey of the social history of the exact sciences in al-Andalus the book then looks at astronomical tables: the first stages of the introduction of al-Khwarizmi's and al-Battani's tables through the school of Maslama al-Majriti the development of Ibn al-Zarqalluh/ Azarquiel's theories in Maghribi zijes (Ibn al-Banna' and Ibn Azzuz) and the abandonment of this tradition towards the end of the 14th century. From this period onwards new Eastern zijes (Muhyi al-Din al-Maghribi Ibn al-Shatir Ulugh Beg) are introduced in the Maghrib and towards the beginning of the 17th century a translation of Abraham Zacut and José Vizinho's Almanach Perpetuum (end of the 15th century) becomes well known in the whole Islamic world from Morocco to the Yemen. As well as zijes themselves the author also deals with theoretical astronomy (the use of an elliptical deferent for Mercury in Ibn al-Zarqalluh's equatorium and the criticisms of Ibn al-Haytham and Jabir b. Aflah on Ptolemy's determination of the parameters of the same planet) and with the use of zijes for the calculation of horoscopes and an experimental astrological method for the correction of mean motion planetary tables (Ibn Azzuz).

Signals and Systems: A Primer with MATLAB® provides clear interesting and easy-to-understand coverage of continuous-time and discrete-time signals and systems. Each chapter opens with a historical profile or career talk followed by an introduction that states the chapter objectives and links the chapter to the previous ones. All principles are presented in a lucid logical step-by-step approach. As much as possible the authors avoid wordiness and detail overload that could hide concepts and impede understanding. In recognition of the requirements by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) on integrating computer tools the use of MATLAB® is encouraged in a student-friendly manner. MATLAB is introduced in Appendix B and applied gradually throughout the book. Each illustrative example is immediately followed by a practice problem along with its answer. Students can follow the example step by step to solve the practice problem without flipping pages or looking at the end of the book for answers. These practice problems test students’ comprehension and reinforce key concepts before moving on to the next section. Toward the end of each chapter the authors discuss some application aspects of the concepts covered in the chapter. The material covered in the chapter is applied to at least one or two practical problems or devices. This helps students see how the concepts are applied to real-life situations. In addition thoroughly worked examples are given liberally at the end of every section. These examples give students a solid grasp of the solutions as well as the confidence to solve similar problems themselves. Some of the problems are solved in two or three ways to facilitate a deeper understanding and comparison of different approaches. Ten review questions in the form of multiple-choice objective items are provided at the end of each chapter with answers. The review questions are intended to cover the little tricks that the examples and end-of-chapter problems may not cover. They serve as a self-test device and help students determine chapter mastery. Each chapter also ends with a summary of key points and formulas. Designed for a three-hour semester course on signals and systems Signals and Systems: A Primer with MATLAB® is intended as a textbook for junior-level undergraduate students in electrical and computer engineering.

Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

Providing a practical guide to the training and assessment of non-technical skills within high-risk industries this book will be of direct interest to safety and training professionals working within aviation healthcare rail maritime and other high-risk industries. Currently each of these industries are working to integrate non-technical skills into their training and certification processes particularly in light of increasing international regulation in this area. However there is no definitive guidance to assist practitioners within these areas with the design of effective non-technical skills training and assessment programs. This book sets out to fully meet this need. It has been designed as a practically focussed companion to the 2008 book Safety at the Sharp End by Flin O'Connor and Crichton. While Safety at the Sharp End provides the definitive exploration of the need for non-technical skills training and examines in detail the main components of non-technical skills as they relate to safe operations the text does not focus on the nuts and bolts of designing training and assessment programs. To this end Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills: A Practical Guide provides an extension of this work and a fitting companion text. | Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

Lactic Acid Bacteria A Functional Approach

Lactic Acid Bacteria A Functional Approach

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a diverse group of bacteria that comprise low GC content Gram-positive cocci or rods that produces lactic acid as the major end product of the fermentation process. Bifidobacterium genera may also be considered as a part of the LAB group for possessing some similar phenotypical characteristics despite the higher GC content. The key feature of LAB metabolism is efficient carbohydrate fermentation. This contributes to the production of several microbial metabolites that result in the improvement of flavor and texture of fermented foods in addition to its positive impact on the human health when LAB is administered as a probiotic. The book deals with advances made in the functionalities of LAB such as their effect on vitamin D receptor expression impact on neurodegenerative pathologies production of B-vitamins for food bio-enrichment production of bacteriocins to improve gut microbiota dysbiosis production of metabolites from polyphenols and their effects on human health effect on reducing the immunoreaction of food allergens as biological system using time-temperature to improve food safety and the use of probiotics in animal feed.

The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World Armenian Realpolitik in the Islamic World and Diverging Paradigmscase of Cilicia Eleventh to Fou

In the second of a three-volume work Seta B. Dadoyan explores the Armenian condition from the 970s to the end of the fourteenth century. This period marked the gradual loss of semi-autonomy on the traditional mainland and the rise of Armenian power of diverging patterns in southeastern Asia Minor north Syria Cilicia and Egypt. Dadoyan's premise is that if Armenians and Armenia have always been located in the Middle East and the Islamic world then their history is also a natural part of that region and its peoples. She observes that the Armenian experience has been too complicated to be defined by simplistic constructs centered on the idea of a heroic yet victimized nation. She notes that a certain politics of historical writing supported by a culture of authority has focused sharply on episodes and in particular on the genocide. For her sources Dadoyan has used all available and relevant (primary and secondary) Armenian sources as well as primary Arab texts and sources. This book will stimulate re-evaluation of the period and re-conceptualizing Armenian and Middle Eastern histories. | The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World Armenian Realpolitik in the Islamic World and Diverging Paradigmscase of Cilicia Eleventh to Fou
