Intergroup dialogue has emerged as an effective educational and
community building method to bring together members of diverse
social and cultural groups to engage in learning together so that
they may work collectively and individually to promote greater
diversity, equality and justice. Intergroup dialogues bring
together individuals from different identity groups (such as people
of color and white people; women and men; lesbian, gay, and
bisexual people and heterosexual people), and uses explicit
pedagogy that involves three important features: content learning,
structured interaction, and facilitative guidance. The least
understood role in the pedagogy is that of facilitation. This
volume, the first dedicated entirely to intergroup dialogue
facilitation, draws on the experiences of contributors and on
emerging research to address the multi-dimensional role of
facilitators and co-facilitators, the training and support of
facilitators, and ways of improving practice in both educational
and community settings. It constitutes a comprehensive guide for
practitioners, covering the theoretical, conceptual, and practical
knowledge they need. Presenting the work and insights of scholars,
practitioners and scholar-practitioners who train facilitators for
intergroup dialogues, this book bridges the theoretical and
conceptual foundations of intergroup relations and social justice
education with training models for intergroup dialogue
facilitation. It is intended for staff, faculty, and administrators
in higher education, and community agencies, as well as for human
resources departments in workplaces. Contributors: Charles Behling,

Designing Experiments and Analyzing Data: A Model Comparison
Perspective (3rd edition) offers an integrative conceptual
framework for understanding experimental design and data analysis.
Maxwell, Delaney, and Kelley first apply fundamental principles to
simple experimental designs followed by an application of the same
principles to more complicated designs. Their integrative
conceptual framework better prepares readers to understand the
logic behind a general strategy of data analysis that is
appropriate for a wide variety of designs, which allows for the
introduction of more complex topics that are generally omitted from
other books. Numerous pedagogical features further facilitate
understanding: examples of published research demonstrate the
applicability of each chapter's content; flowcharts assist in
choosing the most appropriate procedure; end-of-chapter lists of
important formulas highlight key ideas and assist readers in
locating the initial presentation of equations; useful programming
code and tips are provided throughout the book and in associated
resources available online, and extensive sets of exercises help
develop a deeper understanding of the subject. Detailed solutions
for some of the exercises and realistic data sets are included on
the website (DesigningExperiments.com). The pedagogical approach
used throughout the book enables readers to gain an overview of
experimental design, from conceptualization of the research
question to analysis of the data. The book and its companion
website with web apps, tutorials, and detailed code are ideal for
students and researchers seeking the optimal way to design their
studies and analyze the resulting data.

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is one of the most frequently employed statistical techniques in the social sciences because it provides a flexible methodology for testing differences among means. This monograph considers the multivariate form of analysis of variance (MANOVA) and represents a logical extension of an earlier paper in this series, Analysis of Variance. It provides a unique perspective for readers seeking to understand how MANOVA works and how to interpret MANOVA analyses.
The Healers tells how people of different talents and intentions
dealt with diseases and health. It tells how many of the greatest
contributions to human health were made by people who did not
prescribe pills or wield scalpels. Some had medical credentials,
many did not. They were chemists, physicists, botanists,
microbiologists, entomologists, engineers, psychologists, and
people with a variety of other interests. Epidemics raged for
centuries during which both victims and wanna-be healers were mired
in imaginative superstitions about causes. Treatments generally
were a mixed bag of remedies that were sometimes beneficial but
mostly harmful or useless. Some inevitably killed more patients
than they cured. While it's necessary and desirable for explanatory
reasons to discuss diseases, their cause, origins, symptoms, and
treatments, the primary focus of the book is on people, their
backgrounds, personalities, qualifications, and accomplishments. It
tells how they got it right. It tells how some went wrong. It tells
how others, some with medical credentials, victimized men, women
and children to satisfy their self serving ambitions and social
causes. To emphasize the importance of people, good or bad, their
names are written in boldface. The Healers is in eight parts
covering forty, mostly short, chapters. For example, topics include
the recurring battle against insect vectors of disease, about the
FDA's tussle with developers of drugs, which can kill or cure,
about ambitious and cruel steps to alledgedly improve humanity,
about experiments on fellow humans, about the interface of mind and
health, and much more. I selectively present the personalities,
qualifications and accomplishments of people who made important
contributions, for better or worse, to the health and well being of
humanity. Most of the healers were competent or well-meaning. Some
were saintly, some were evil, You, dear reader, can decide.
Have you lost a loved one? Do you wish they could still be with
you? Your loved one could be looking over your shoulder this very
minute. Let me help you realize the fact they never left you when
they died. This story about the Marshal Family, will help you
manage your greiving process and assure you that you are not alone.
The story helped me as I wrote it, and it will help you too. All
you need is an open mind and a loving heart. God Bless You. Richard
Lean production and logistics processes were developed in the
commercial sector to reduce total system costs of production while
simultaneously providing high levels of customer service, increased
productivity, and increased worker utilization. In 1993, the Air
Force instituted the Lean Logistics program, which successfully
implemented some commercial lean principles, enabling a reduction
in the total reparable asset material requirement for the Air Force
reparable asset pipeline. The Air Force is attempting to further
implement lean production principles into depot repair in hopes of
further enhancing reparable asset pipeline cost and customer
service performance. However, the failure of reparable assets,
which determines demand for Air Force depots can be extremely
erratic and difficult to predict. A primary criticism of lean
systems is their vulnerability in volatile demand environments.
Therefore, the implementation of a full-scale lean approach to
depot repair may not be conducive to operational success. The
purpose of this research is evaluate whether the Air Force
reparable pipeline operating under lean production and logistics
principles can effectively support operational requirements in
various demand environments. In an attempt to answer the research
objective, multiple Arena simulation models of a "lean" reparable
asset pipeline operating under various conditions were developed. A
full factorial experimental design was employed and multivariate
analysis of variance (MANOVA) was utilized to assess the effects of
differing levels of demand variability, base and depot supply
levels, and the use of premium transportation on cost and stockage
effectiveness response variables.
There is so much false information being put out by politicians and
supporting organizations to scare elderly persons like me. I did
research using the Statistical Abstract of the United States Census
to develop my data used to write this short publication. The data
in the book is factual and truthful. I am showing how much trouble
the Medicare program is in and I hope it will be read so that our
citizens will be informed.
Community Oriented Primary Care (COPC) is a model that integrates
public health and primary care to deliver prioritized services to a
defined population. The approach traces its roots to the work of
Sidney and Emily Kark in early 1940s. In 1999, the author enrolled
in a course on COPC and later visited Pholela clinic where COPC
started. She was enlightened when she listened to the experience of
the ladies who started the approach with the Karks. Luckily, she
won the Kark Prize for her study in 2000. This experience inspired
the author to use COPC in her doctoral dissertation. She applied it
to study a sample of Arab migrant women in Cologne where
psychological stress was identified a priority. Quantitative and
qualitative methods were used to implement its six steps: community
definition, community characterization, prioritization, detailed
assessment, intervention and evaluation. This seminal work is the
first to study Arab migrant women in Germany and the first to use
COPC approach in Europe. In 2007, it won the German Society for
Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS) Prize. It can
be used as part of the curricula for medical, nursing and public
health students.
Our country has rapidly slipped into a degenerating self centered
society, and this concerns me. I spent several years researching
data from the Census Statistical Abstracts to support my
observations. The data did support them, so I wrote UNITED STATES -
SELF DESTRUCTION. I supports Sir. Alex Frasier Tyler's
observations' in the 19th century, concerning democracies, or
Democratic Republics, as we are.
Ian Maxwell applies decades of research and application to
present a novel approach to innovation, with an emphasis on
sustainable and renewable practices that benefit many, and not just
a handful of executives and shareholders. Featuring examples from a
wide range of innovators around the world, from Google to Genentech
to the Masdar "clean" city initiative in Abu Dhabi, Maxwell argues
that organizations that embrace structured innovation management
systems and drive a "top down" innovation culture will achieve
sustainable high growth and strong shareholder returns. Countries
that provide the right physical, financial and human resource
infrastructure to support a highly innovative macro-economic
environment will experience both strong GPD growth and high living
standards. Those companies and countries that fail to support
innovation will struggle to compete and raise living standards,
respectively. Maxwell considers the cases of China and India, whose
low-cost innovation strategies are posing a serious competitive
threat to established multinationals in the developed world, and
considers the impact of innovation on such timely issues as climate
change, environmental pollution, fossil fuel shortages, third world
poverty, rising healthcare costs and ageing populations.
Soybean is one of the major world crops. In 2008, the world
consumption of soybean was over 221 million metric tons of which
approximately 50% came from the U.S.. Soybean seed is a major
source of protein, oil, carbohydrates, isoflavones, and minerals
for humans and animals. This book presents current research data
from across the globe in the study of soybean cultivation, its uses
and nutrition. Some topics discussed herein include soybean seed
composition and quality; soybean peroxidase applications in
wastewater treatment; soybean germination and cancer disease;
soybean oil deodoriser distillate; soybean oil in health and
disease; and the use of soybean peptone in bacterial cultivations
for vaccine production.
Trialled in South African classrooms, this innovative series covers
the Revised National Curriculum Statement and enables learners to
develop their creativity through self-expression.
