This book is a study of schizophrenia in a modern psychiatric
hospital. Its purpose is to develop a contextual understanding of
schizophrenia by studying the clinical setting in which this
disorder is experienced, diagnosed and treated, and it arises from
an anthropological investigation of the day-to-day work of clinical
staff. The author offers a penetrating analysis of the language
used by hospital staff as they write and talk about their patients,
and traces the evolution of the concept of schizophrenia, showing
how contemporary theoretical constructs are applied by clinical
staff. In its analysis of the schizophrenia team and of those
experiencing the disorder, this book will reveal to mental health
professionals many of the unspoken assumptions of their role. It
will also confirm to social scientists and clinicians the power of
the ethnographic approach in psychiatric research.
Focusing on improving the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of
human disease, this book takes on the issues of research design,
measurement, and evaluation which are critical to clinical
epidemiology. This second edition of Clinical Epidemiology:
Practice and Methods opens with how best to frame a clinical
research question, the ethics associated with doing a research
project in humans, and the definition of various biases that occur
in clinical research. From there, it continues by examining issues
of design, measurement, and analysis associated with various
research designs, including determination of risk in longitudinal
studies, assessment of therapy in randomized controlled clinical
trials, and evaluation of diagnostic tests, and then delves into
the more specialized area of clinical genetic research, before
concluding with basic methods used in evidence-based decision
making including critical appraisal, aggregation of multiple
studies using meta-analysis, health technology assessment, clinical
practice guidelines, development of health policy, translational
research, how to utilize administrative databases, and knowledge
translation. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular
Biology series, chapters include the kind of detail and practical
advice to ensure real world success. Comprehensive and
authoritative, Clinical Epidemiology: Practice and Methods, Second
Edition is intended to educate researchers on how to undertake
clinical research and should be helpful not only to medical
practitioners but also to basic scientists who want to extend their
work to humans, to allied health professionals interested in
scientific evaluation, and to trainees in clinical epidemiology.

Despite being labeled as adults, the approximately 200,000 youth
under the age of 18 who are now prosecuted as adults each year in
criminal court are still adolescents, and the contradiction of
their legal labeling creates numerous problems and challenges. In
Courting Kids Carla Barrett takes us behind the scenes of a unique
judicial experiment called the Manhattan Youth Part, a specialized
criminal court set aside for youth prosecuted as adults in New York
City. Focusing on the lives of those coming through and working in
the courtroom, Barrett's ethnography is a study of a microcosm that
reflects the costs, challenges, and consequences the "tough on
crime" age has had, especially for male youth of color. She
demonstrates how the court, through creative use of judicial
discretion and the cultivation of an innovative courtroom culture,
developed a set of strategies for handling "adult-juvenile " cases
that embraced, rather than denied, defendants' adolescence.

This sixth edition of the most widely adopted text in the field
continues to introduce law students with no accounting background
to financial statements and the ways that accounting concepts and
issues arise in transactional work and litigation. Designed for
either two- or three-hour courses, this text uses a "learn by
doing" approach, including: Illustrative financial statements from
Starbucks Corporation; and Multiple problems using the financial
statements from Amazon.com, Inc., Google Inc., and United Parcel
Service, Inc. The first section of each chapter, entitled
"Importance to Lawyers," explains how the topics discussed in that
chapter affect the practice of law. The text empowers students: To
work backwards through the bookkeeping process and, when necessary,
to trace an amount that appears on the financial statements through
the accounting records to the ledgers, journals, and supporting
documentation; To negotiate agreements or other legal documents
containing accounting terminology or concepts; To recognize "red
flags" that suggest financial difficulties--or even financial
fraud; and To understand--and, when necessary, defend against--the
opportunities to obtain accounting-related information about an
underlying lawsuit and then to use that information during
litigation. The sixth edition incorporates numerous developments
since the fifth edition, most significantly discussions about the
new generally accepted accounting principles governing revenue
recognition, lease accounting, and credit losses. Often
collectively referred to as "new GAAP," these rules mark the most
significant changes to financial accounting in at least a
generation. The sixth edition also identifies and discusses various
financial accounting issues that lawyers should keep in mind during
the pandemic and its aftermath.

Are you serious about network security? Then check out SSH, the
Secure Shell, which provides key-based authentication and
transparent encryption for your network connections. It's reliable,
robust, and reasonably easy to use, and both free and commercial
implementations are widely available for most operating systems.
While it doesn't solve every privacy and security problem, SSH
eliminates several of them very effectively.
Everything you want to know about SSH is in our second edition
of "SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide," This updated book
thoroughly covers the latest SSH-2 protocol for system
administrators and end users interested in using this increasingly
popular TCP/IP-based solution.
How does it work? Whenever data is sent to the network, SSH
automatically encrypts it. When data reaches its intended
recipient, SSH decrypts it. The result is "transparent"
encryption-users can work normally, unaware that their
communications are already encrypted. SSH supports secure file
transfer between computers, secure remote logins, and a unique
"tunneling" capability that adds encryption to otherwise insecure
network applications. With SSH, users can freely navigate the
Internet, and system administrators can secure their networks or
perform remote administration.
Written for a wide, technical audience, "SSH, The Secure Shell:
The Definitive Guide" covers several implementations of SSH for
different operating systems and computing environments. Whether
you're an individual running Linux machines at home, a corporate
network administrator with thousands of users, or a PC/Mac owner
who just wants a secure way to telnet or transfer files between
machines, ourindispensable guide has you covered. It starts with
simple installation and use of SSH, and works its way to in-depth
case studies on large, sensitive computer networks.
No matter where or how you're shipping information, "SSH, The
Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide" will show you how to do it
securely.
What Duke Ellington and Miles Davis teach us about leadership How
do you cope when faced with complexity and constant change at work?
Here's what the world's best leaders and teams do: they improvise.
They invent novel responses and take calculated risks without a
scripted plan or a safety net that guarantees specific outcomes.
They negotiate with each other as they proceed, and they don't
dwell on mistakes or stifle each other's ideas. In short, they say
"yes to the mess" that is today's hurried, harried, yet enormously
innovative and fertile world of work. This is exactly what great
jazz musicians do. In this revelatory book, accomplished jazz
pianist and management scholar Frank Barrett shows how this
improvisational "jazz mind-set" and the skills that go along with
it are essential for effective leadership today. With fascinating
stories of the insights and innovations of jazz greats such as
Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins, as well as probing accounts of the
wisdom gleaned from his own experience as a jazz musician, Barrett
introduces a new model for leading and collaborating in
organizations. He describes how, like skilled jazz players, leaders
need to master the art of unlearning, perform and experiment
simultaneously, and take turns soloing and supporting each other.
And with examples that range from manufacturing to the military to
high-tech, he illustrates how organizations must take an inventive
approach to crisis management, economic volatility, and all the
rapidly evolving realities of our globally connected world. Leaders
today need to be expert improvisers. Yes to the Mess vividly shows
how the principles of jazz thinking and jazz performance can help
anyone who leads teams or works with them to develop these critical
skills, wherever they sit in the organization. Engaging and
insightful, Yes to the Mess is a seminar on collaboration and
complexity, against the soulful backdrop of jazz.
This third edition volume expands on the previous editions with
updated chapters on longitudinal studies, randomized trials,
evidence-based decisions making, and a new section on changing
health-related behaviors. The chapters in this book are organized
into six parts: Part One focuses on framing clinical research
questions and choosing a suitable design; biases that may occur in
clinical research; and the ethics associated with doing conducting
research on humans. Parts Two through Four discuss designs,
measurements, and analysis that pertain to evaluation of risk in
longitudinal studies; assessment of therapy in controlled trials;
and evaluation of diagnostic tests. Part Five presents methods used
in various components of evidence-based decision-making; and Part
Six highlights interventions focused on changing health-related
behaviors. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular
Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their
respective topics, lists of various types of bias, step-by-step,
readily reproducible protocols for different research designs, and
tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge
and thorough, Clinical Epidemiology: Methods and Protocols, Third
Edition is a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers who
want to expand their works to humans and use their findings in the
health system.
