Practical Diabetes Care, Third Edition By David Levy(auth.)
2011 | 333 Pages | ISBN: 1444333852 | PDF | 4 MB
This new and completely revised third edition is a concise, systematic and highly practical guide to the care of patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Clinically and problem-based, it covers emergency, inpatient and ambulatory diabetes care in the hospital and community, focusing particularly on difficult, grey and contentious areas of management, and seeks to guide advanced practitioners through problems that are not always emphasised. Up to date clinical trial results have been incorporated, as well as concise discussions of lifestyle approaches to diabetes management, and it includes a new chapter on psychological problems in diabetes. It is now fully referenced with PubMed PMID numbers and all HbA1c measurements are quoted in DCCT and IFCC units. It will be valuable for foundation year and specialist trainees in general medicine, diabetes and endocrinology; community and hospital diabetes specialist nurses and nurse practitioners; hospital-based ward staff in specialist and non-diabetes-specialist departments, especially cardiology and emergency medicine; and general practice diabetes leads and general practitioners with a specialist diabetes interest. It will be equally valuable for hands-on reference use in the clinical situation, and for clinicians in hospital medicine and general practice studying for postgraduate diplomas and examinations.Content: Chapter 1 Classification and Diagnosis (pages 1-21): Chapter 2 Diabetes in the Emergency Department (pages 22-46): Chapter 3 Management of Inpatient Diabetes (pages 47-63): Chapter 4 Type 1 Diabetes: Insulin Treatment (pages 64-82): Chapter 5 Type 2 Diabetes: General Introduction (pages 83-101): Chapter 6 Type 2 Diabetes: Pharmacological Treatment of Hyperglycaemia (pages 102-138): Chapter 7 Infections in Diabetes (pages 139-155): Chapter 8 Diabetic Renal Disease (pages 156-182): Chapter 9 Diabetes and the Eye (pages 183-196): Chapter 10 Diabetic Neuropathy (pages 197-226): Chapter 11 Hypertension (pages 227-261): Chapter 12 Lipids (pages 262-288): Chapter 13 Psychological Aspects of Diabetes (pages 289-300):

Politics of Occupation-Centred Practice By
2012 | 254 Pages | ISBN: 1444336983 | PDF | 2 MB
Politics of Occupation-Centred Practice addresses the cultural aspects of occupational identity and draws out the implications for practice, moving beyond the clinical environment to include the occupational therapist's work in the wider community. It explores the development of individual occupational narratives, community traditions and their roots in everyday experiences, offering a range of examples from distinctive populations to demonstrate approaches to forming sustainable occupational engagements. Chapters span such key areas as 'Experiences of Disaster', 'Social Inclusion', 'Disability and Participation', and 'Sexuality, Disability Cultures and Occupation'. This cutting edge text, coordinated by two distinguished researchers and educators in the global field of occupational therapy and science, is designed to meet the needs of students studying the conceptual foundations of occupational therapy, occupational science, role emerging practice, occupational justice, community development and community based rehabilitation. The book will also be of interest to academics and practitioners exploring new practice contexts created by the drive to address the diversity and inclusion agenda.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-24): Nick Pollard and Dikaios SakellariouChapter 2 The Language of Occupation (pages 25-41): Nick Pollard and Dikaios SakellariouChapter 3 Occupational Literacy (pages 42-50): Nick Pollard and Dikaios SakellariouChapter 4 A Grammar for a Language of Occupation (pages 51-60): Nick Pollard and Dikaios SakellariouChapter 5 Towards a Transformational Grammar of Occupation (pages 61-71): Nick Pollard and Dikaios SakellariouChapter 6 Narratives of Recognition (pages 72-80): Dikaios Sakellariou and Nick PollardChapter 7 Narratives and Truths (pages 81-91): Dikaios Sakellariou and Nick PollardChapter 8 Occupation in a Greek Town: Flowing, Emergent, Flexible across Time and Space (pages 92-105): Sarah Kantartzis, Matthew Molineux and Sally FosterChapter 9 Indigenous Ainu Occupational Identities and the Natural Environment in Hokkaido (pages 106-127): Mami AoyamaChapter 10 People with Disabilities and Participation: Experiences and Challenges of an Occupational Therapy Practice in the City of Sao Paulo, Brazil (pages 128-145): Sandra Maria Galheigo, Fatima Correa Oliver, Taisa Gomes Ferreira and Marta AokiChapter 11 Communities of Writing (pages 146-161): Nick PollardChapter 12 Disability, Sexuality and Intimacy (pages 162-179): Pamela Block, Russell Shuttleworth, Jacob Pratt, Hope Block and Linda RammlerChapter 13 Model and Human Occupation (pages 180-196): Nick Pollard and Neil CarverChapter 14 Participation, Time, Effort and Speech Disability Justice (pages 197-216): Devva Kasnitz and Pamela BlockChapter 15 A Society Founded on Occupation (pages 217-236): Nick Pollard and Dikaios Sakellariou

Orthogonal Sets and Polar Methods in Linear Algebra: Applications to Matrix Calculations, Systems of Equations, Inequalities, and Linear Programming By Enrique Castillo, Angel Cobo, Francisco Jubete, Rosa Eva Pruneda(auth.)
1999 | 429 Pages | ISBN: 0471328898 | PDF | 7 MB
A unique, applied approach to problem solving in linear algebra Departing from the standard methods of analysis, this unique book presents methodologies and algorithms based on the concept of orthogonality and demonstrates their application to both standard and novel problems in linear algebra. Covering basic theory of linear systems, linear inequalities, and linear programming, it focuses on elegant, computationally simple solutions to real-world physical, economic, and engineering problems. The authors clearly explain the reasons behind the analysis of different structures and concepts and use numerous illustrative examples to correlate the mathematical models to the reality they represent. Readers are given precise guidelines for: * Checking the equivalence of two systems * Solving a system in certain selected variables * Modifying systems of equations * Solving linear systems of inequalities * Using the new exterior point method * Modifying a linear programming problem With few prerequisites, but with plenty of figures and tables, end-of-chapter exercises as well as Java and Mathematica programs available from the authors' Web site, this is an invaluable text/reference for mathematicians, engineers, applied scientists, and graduate students in mathematics.Content: Chapter 1 Basic Concepts (pages 1-22): Chapter 2 Orthogonal Sets (pages 23-40): Chapter 3 Matrix Calculations Using Orthogonal Sets (pages 41-72): Chapter 4 More Applications of Orthogonal Sets (pages 73-84): Chapter 5 Orthogonal Sets and Systems of Linear Equations (pages 85-142): Chapter 6 Polyhedral Convex Cones (pages 143-190): Chapter 7 Polytopes and Polyhedra (pages 191-213): Chapter 8 Cones and Systems of Inequalities (pages 215-250): Chapter 9 An Introduction to Linear Programming (pages 251-274): Chapter 10 The Exterior Point Method (pages 275-341): Chapter 11 Applications (pages 343-391):

Masked Histories: Turtle Shell Masks and Torres Strait Islander People by Leah Lui-Chivizhe
English | July 5th, 2022 | ISBN: 0522879144 | 313 pages | True EPUB | 11.18 MB
Masked Histories celebrates the remarkable Torres Strait Islander turtle shell masks that were taken or traded by Europeans throughout the nineteenth century. Displayed as curiosities or art in museums and galleries around the world, the Islander knowledges they held were silenced. Delving into old stories from both Islanders and the foreigners who had travelled to the region, Lui-Chivizhe reanimates the masks with their Islander meaning and purpose and, in so doing, powerfully recreates the past. Masked Histories advances a vivid new history, uncovering the profound importance of the turtle shell masks to all Islanders and revealing much about the people who created them.
