Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Medical students and physicians in training are required to think on their feet and be able to apply information more than recall facts. Interactive lecturing is particularly important in medical education as it promotes active learning and student participation. Doctors are traditionally trained to treat patients but not to supervise, although they are frequently expected to do so and often find it challenging. Planning and developing a medical residency-training curriculum is a process that involves external and internal influences. Understanding these influences and their scope of involvement will help planners recognize the drivers and barriers of curriculum design. The first chapter discusses the internal and external influences on planning an education program. The second chapter discusses the challenges of large group teaching and the place of blended learning in health professions education. The third chapter offers a practical and informative guide to good clinical supervision. The final chapter discusses the essential role of assessment in medical education while critiquing various commonly used assessment methods including MCQs, OSCEs, portfolios and peer assessment. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A principle for designing self-adjusting mechanisms by insert additional degrees of freedom into the machine is described. In these mechanisms, interaction of the working tool with the material being worked upon automatically sets its unique velocity, and if the external resistance is velocity-dependent the machine attains a stable operation. One of these principles is a type of servomechanisms, the advantage of it is a direct mechanical control without conversion of input into any control signals. These devices are less complex than traditional controllers, and are much easier to design. Another one is a self-adjusting elevator with one and half degrees of freedom. It contains two linked parts, each capable of working only in strictly unidirectional mode - a cable and a rod connected to a piston-cylinder assembly; their alternate action switches spatial structure of the mechanism at a required time. The third one is a portable device for lowering loads, proposed, in particular, as self-rescue gear. Finally, the book describes a 'mechanical rectifier' that allows effectively utilize energy of any chaotic motion, such as surf waves, detrimental machine vibrations, etc. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book, we introduce hole-mask colloidal lithography and nanosphere lithography techniques for low-cost nanofabrication of large-area (about 1 cm2) plasmonic nanostructures with different complex shapes. For the first one, we use thin film PMMA-gold hole-masks, which are prepared with polystyrene colloids, combined with following tilted-angle-rotation evaporation to fabricate large-area randomly deposited plasmonic nanostructures. For the second one, we use hexagonal close-packed polystyrene nanosphere monolayers directly as evaporation masks to fabricate large-area periodic plasmonic nanostructures. We describe the fabrication process step by step, and manufacture a variety of complex plasmonic nanostructures for different sensing applications, like antenna-assisted surface-enhanced infrared absorption measurements to detect monolayer molecules; localized surface plasmon resonance liquid and gas sensing with high experimental sensitivities; as well as single-layer three-dimensional and multi-shape metasurfaces for desired optical multi-functionalities. 124 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Fixed bed boilers are widely used to fire coal for heat and power production. However, these systems are often reported to have relatively high unburnout, low efficiency and high emissions, in addition to needing to be optimized and modernized. In this work, the measurements were performed in a test rig, where a combustion front propagates against the airflow. The author decided to use function to describe the simplified profile of emissions. The results obtained from measurements were converted in the form of approximation functions. Furthermore, developed functions were applied for defining the boundary conditions at the interface between the fixed bed and gas phase in FLUENT. The simulations of a domestic boiler have been done and the relative effects of different factors in CFD were evaluated by sensitivity analysis. The validity of the model was verified by measurements which were done in a 25 kW domestic boiler. Model predictions were compared with the experimental gas temperature and species concentration measurements, which were in good agreement. However, at a few measuring positions larger differences between the numerical results and the experiments are still observed. 140 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Demographic shifts in the United States have resulted in an increasingly diverse multicultural and multigenerational population. Cultural competence is a core standard in the nursing curricula of undergraduate nursing programs. Nurses have the most contact with clients;therefore, must be comfortable and able to respond with appropriate cultural sensitivity, awareness, skills, and knowledge to help clients to improve their health outcomes while minimizing disparities in treatment and access. This quantitative study examined the students' perceptions of their levels of cultural competence by measuring their cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, cultural encounters and cultural desire. Results identified a difference in the perceived cultural competence, with BSN students' perceived cultural competence being higher than that of the ADN students. Results indicated that previous health care experiences had an effect on perceived levels of cultural competence. Constructive learning theory was the primary theoretical framework. Leininger's (1998a) cultural care theory and Campinha-Bacote's(1999) cultural competency care model served as the nursing theoretical framework. 196 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -At the dawn of the new millennium, a time filled with tensions, heated disputes and bloody wars, nations of the world have become much more preoccupied with empowering their military foundations and seeking new alliances, thereby ignoring other equally essential social, economic and cultural issues, among others. In the middle of such tensions and war mongering attempts, the United States of America, as usual, has to remind the world of its role as 'the super power', and re-instigate the world's anxiety by its usual trespassing of international laws or its military interventions in many places under the purported noble mission of securing the whole world against terrorists, war mongers or drug and arm traffickers. The American unilateral strategies in the world have not only brought into light the American hostility, but the world's opposition and an era of turbulence in which wars are being planned behind closed doors, and initiated through technological, medical and academic institutions. Therefore, this book is bent on analyzing Obama's inaugural speech to the Muslim World in Cairo in light of the American policies and attempts to come into good terms with the Muslim/Arab world 128 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Learning a foreign language involves far more than simply learning its linguistic system. To be able to communicate successfully in a foreign language, learners need, among other things, a degree of acculturation. This means that they need to familiarize themselves with certain sociolinguistic norms surrounding language use. Failure to consider such sociolinguistic factors might result in a breakdown in communication despite the use of accurate language forms. At the same time, gratitude and suggestion speech acts are among the frequently needed functions of language. The aim of the present book is to examine the learning of these speech acts by Iranian EFL learners. Apart from a theoretical review of the recent research on these two speech acts, this book also contains an empirical analysis of the effects of three classroom presentation techniques (task-based, cross-linguistic comparison and implicit) on EFL learners' short and long term comprehension and production of gratitude and suggestion speech acts. This book may be helpful not only for language teachers and learners but also for the experts and students of sociolinguistics. 124 pp. Englisch.

General aspects of tourism destination management have been well researched but little is known about its specific traits in health tourism destinations. The core tourism product offered by health tourism destinations is a complex experience, which incorporates attractions, healing resources and entertainment, accommodation and food, accessibility and local transport, hospitality and friendly attitude of local people. Such a complex supply requires the close cooperation of businesses, health care services, municipalities, and public authorities, as well as local inhabitants. The book deals with the physical and human resources of such health tourism destinations, aspects of sustainability and competitiveness, the main factors of success, including stakeholder cooperation. Primary data were collected by surveys in six spa towns of Western Hungary. Relying on these findings a detailed evaluation is given on how to manage and develop such establishments. The book should be useful for professionals and students interested in the issues of health tourism destination management. 128 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book entitles as Multi Criteria Decision Making in Inventory Models by Fuzzy Approaches. An inventory is normally held for the ultimate purpose of satisfying demands. Typically, an inventory problem has four parts: (i) a model, expressing a set of assumed empirical relations among a set of variables; (ii) a subset of decision variables, whose values are to be chosen by the decision maker; (iii) an objective function of the variables in the model; and (iv) computing methods for analyzing the effects of alternative values of the decision variables on the objective function. In case of traditional inventory models, the pattern of demands is either deterministic or uncertain. In practice, the latter corresponds more to the real-world environment. To solve these inventory problems with uncertain demands, the classical inventory models usually describe the demands as certain probability distributions and then solve them. 116 pp. Englisch.
