A thoroughly revised and updated fourth edition of a text that has
become an international standard for curriculum development in
health professional education. Intended for faculty and other
content experts who have an interest or responsibility as educators
in their discipline, Curriculum Development for Medical Education
has extended its vision to better serve a diverse professional and
international audience. Building on the time-honored, practical,
and user-friendly approach of the six-step model of curriculum
development, this edition is richly detailed, with numerous
examples of innovations that challenge traditional teaching models.
In addition, the fourth edition presents * updates in our
understanding of how humans learn; * a new chapter on curricula
that address community needs and health equity; and * an increased
emphasis throughout on health systems science, population health,
equity, educational technology in health professions education, and
interprofessional education. This new edition remains a
cutting-edge tool and practical guidebook for faculty members and
administrators responsible for the educational experiences of
health professional students, residents, fellows, and
practitioners. It includes chapters on each of the steps of
curriculum development, with updated examples and questions to
guide the application of the timeless principles. Subsequent
chapters cover curriculum maintenance and enhancement,
dissemination, and curriculum development for larger programs.
Appendixes present examples of full curricula designed using the
six-step approach, which is widely recognized as the current
standard for publication and dissemination of new curricula and
provides a basis for meaningful educational interventions,
scholarship, and career advancement for the health professional
educator. The book also provides curricular, faculty development,
and funding resources. Contributors: Chadia N. Abras, Belinda Y.

Church leadership is a demanding and challenging role. There are
many responsibilities involved in leading a church, which can be
difficult to maneuver without the proper tools and
resources.Written with Bible-based truths and helpful insights,
Foundations of Church Administration is both an exploration of
those responsibilities and a practical guide to navigating through
them. Each chapter is authored by a notable expert in the field
who, with sound experience and effective steps, helps church
leaders efficiently succeed in the many facets of their
responsibilities.In this honest exploration, church leaders will
find a new perspective on church administration that will help them
dig deeper and develop a long-lasting and effective practice of
leading and administrating a church.
This book is written to show the hidden talents of both men and
women who failed to discover and use them constructively. Only as
they now have time with little to nothing to do, by being
incarcerated, did they discover the assets they possess. Had they
been motivated and discovered earlier their lives could have been
different today. They are artists in their own rights. Once they
discovered a higher Power, were they willing to try something new,
because they now feel important and Special dispite their past
behavior. They are now set free spiritually. They have taken the
step of Faith in receiving Jesus Christ as Savior. The Creator in
now working with the created. What He (God) has done for other He
can do for YOU, if you will give Him the opportunity to use you as
He has planned from the beginning..

This volume highlights some of the challenges in delivering
effective environmental health interventions, and presents examples
of emergent theories and case studies that can help close the gap
between intent and impact. These include impact crediting systems,
objective evidence gathering tools, and social businesses that
service environmental health. The case studies presented cross
disciplines, scales, organizational and national boundaries and can
defy easy categorization. A water project may be designed for a
health impact, but financed with a climate change tool, and
leverage high tech cell phone sensors. A cookstove program may be
primarily concerned with employment and capacity building, but
balance environmental and health concerns. Presently, the impact of
interventions may not always be aligned to the intent sought. In
this book, readers will discover alternative ways to move the
mindset of funders and implementers toward pay-for-performance
models of humanitarian and environmental interventions.
Undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in social
enterprise, social entrepreneurship, global health, appropriate
technology, international development and development engineering
would benefit from these increasingly non-traditional case studies
that challenge commonly accepted presentations of poverty reduction
and social enterprise.
Advances in understanding the interactions between light and
subwavelength materials have enabled the author and his
collaborators to tailor unique optical responses at the nanoscale.
In particular, metallic nanostructures capable of supporting
surface plasmons can be designed to possess spectrally narrow
plasmon resonances, which are of particular interest due to their
exceptional sensitivity to their local environment. In turn,
combining plasmonic nanostructures with other materials in hybrid
systems allows this sensitivity to be exploited in a broad range of
applications. In this book the author explores two different
approaches to attaining narrow plasmon resonances: in gold
nanoparticle arrays by utilising diffraction coupling, and in
copper thin films covered by a protective graphene layer. The
performance of these resonances is then considered in a number of
applications. Nanoparticle arrays are used along with an atomic
heterostructure as elements in a nanomechanical electro-optical
modulator that is capable of strong, broadband modulation. Strong
coupling between diffraction-coupled plasmon resonances and a gold
nanoparticle array and guided modes in a dielectric slab is used to
construct a hybrid waveguide. Lastly, the extreme phase sensitivity
of graphene-protected copper is used to detect trace quantities of
small toxins in solution far below the detection limit of
commercial surface plasmon resonance sensors.
This book evolved through the efforts of several organizations and
the dedication of many individuals. In 1987, we received arequest
to propose a workshop topic for the Fifth International
Theriological Congress (ITC) to be held in August 1989 in Rome,
Italy. After looking up the meaning of the word "theriological" in
the dictionary and discovering that it pertains to mammalian
behavior, we decided a symposium on sensory abilities of whales and
dOlphins would be an interesting topic. The ITC convenes only every
five years and has the distinction of being very weIl attended by
scientists from around the world. We thought that hosting a
workshop in conjunction with the ITC would attract a variety of
international scientists that rarely have the opportunity to
interact. Fortunately for all involved, our prediction was correct.
The first two days of the workshop, 23-24 August 1989, were held in
conjunction with ITC and the nearly 1,000 attending scientists were
able to view our posters and listen to lectures. The third day was
limited to only ab out 65 invited scientists who were divided into
topical working groups chaired by a rapporteur.
This book is a collection of original research papers given at a
symposium entitled "Sensory Systems and Behavior of Aquatic
Mammals", hosted by the USSR Academy of Sciences. The meeting was
held in Moscow from 16 to 25 October, 1991 and involved nearly 100
scientists from around the world. The major headings of the book
correspond to the session topics at the symposium. This meeting was
not the first dedicated to problems of sensory systems in aquatic
mammals. Experts in this field met several times previously to
discuss important problems of sensory functions in echolocating
animals. symposia on biosonar systems were held in Frascati, Italy
in 1966, then in Jersey, France in 1978, and in Helsingor, Denmark
in 1986. Papers presented at these meetings were pUblished in books
that advanced significantly the understanding of sensory systems
(Busnel and Fish, 1980; Nachtigall and Moore, 1988). Initially,
echolocating bats were the main subjects of consideration. However,
studies on echolocating aquatic mammals, whales and dolphins,
increased from one meeting to the next. Indeed, aquatic mammals are
of exceptional interest for studying the adaptation of sensory
functions for echolocation in specific aquatic environments. As a
natural consequence of these developments, the 1989 symposium in
Rome was devoted specifically to the sensory systems of cetaceans
(Thomas and Kastelein, 1990). This symposium was held within the
Fifth International Theriological Congress and was attended by many
scientists.

First published in 1909 and then again in 1997. John Chipman Gray
(1839-1915) spent the greater part of his professional life as a
professor at Harvard Law School where he taught property, trusts
and future interests. The Nature and Sources of the Law was first
published in 1909. The book is divided into two parts which
respectively look at 'Nature' and 'Sources'. In Part I, Gray warns
that the study of jurisprudence, in isolation, could lead to
dogmatism. Rather he advocates the structure offered by common law
with its reliance on flexible interpretations of statutes, the use
of all relevant cultural inputs and a highly adaptable approach to
the resolution of disputes. Gray, in Part II, turns his attention
to sources of the law and begins with statutes. Here he asserts
that judges are the ones who actually turn into law, going against
the conventional scholarship that judges merely interprets
statutes. He also extensively examines the influence of tradition
and the common law.
Based on a proven six-step model and including examples and
questions to guide application of those timeless principles,
Curriculum Development for Medical Education is a practical
guidebook for all faculty members and administrators responsible
for the educational experiences of medical students, residents,
fellows, and clinical practitioners. Incorporating revisions driven
by calls for reform and innovations in medical education that
challenge established teaching models, the third edition includes
an awareness of new accreditation standards and regulatory
guidelines. The authors have expanded their discussion of survey
methodology for needs assessment and stress the importance of
writing competency-based goals and objectives that incorporate
milestones, entrustable professional activities, and observable
practice activities. With updated examples focusing on
interprofessional education, collaborative practice, and
educational technology, they describe educational strategies that
incorporate the new science of learning. A completely new chapter
presents the unique challenges of curriculum development for large,
long, and integrated curricula.
The growth of interest in newly developed porous materials has
prompted the writing of this book for those who have the need to
make meaningful measurements without the benefit of years of
experience. One might consider this new book as the 4th edition of
"Powder Surface Area and Porosity" (Lowell & Shields), but for
this new edition we set out to incorporate recent developments in
the understanding of fluids in many types of porous materials, not
just powders. Based on this, we felt that it would be prudent to
change the title to "Characterization of Porous Solids and Powders:
Surface Area, Porosity and Density." This book gives a unique
overview of principles associated with the characterization of
solids with regard to their surface area, pore size, pore volume
and density. It covers methods based on gas adsorption (both physi
and chemisorption), mercury porosimetry and pycnometry. Not only
are the theoretical and experimental basics of these techniques
presented in detail but also, in light of the tremendous progress
made in recent years in materials science and nanotechnology, the
most recent developments are described. In particular, the
application of classical theories and methods for pore size
analysis are contrasted with the most advanced microscopic theories
based on statistical mechanics (e.g. Density Functional Theory and
Molecular Simulation). The characterization of heterogeneous
catalysts is more prominent than in earlier editions; the sections
on mercury porosimetry and particularly chemisorption have been
updated and greatly expanded."
This practical, user-friendly manual shows mental health
professionals how to implement play therapy with adolescents and
adults and how to conceptualize client struggles using a wealth of
creative approaches. Creative Play Therapy with Adolescents and
Adults follows an accessible seven-stage process for professionals
to address clients' core needs and establish an empathic
therapeutic relationship. The book charts the stages of play
therapy and explores a range of expressive arts including art,
drama, dance, writing and sand play and the key materials needed
for each. It also considers additional aspects of play therapy
including resistance, spirituality and self-care. Filled with
techniques, skills and case studies to help demystify complex
client work, the book outlines an easy-to-follow treatment protocol
for healing and resolution. This book will be of interest to a wide
range of mental health professionals working with adults and
adolescents as it encourages a more creative career and lasting,
tangible progress in clients.
This volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to studying a wide
range of subjects associated with the creation, performance and
reception of 'opera' in varying social and historical contexts from
the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. Each essay addresses
migrations between genres, cultures, literary and musical works,
modes of expression, media of presentation and aesthetics. Although
the directions the contributions take are diverse, they converge in
significant ways, particularly with the rebuttal of the notion of
the singular nature of the operatic work. The volume strongly
asserts that works are meaningfully transformed by the manifold
circumstances of their creation and reception, and that these
circumstances have an impact on the life of those works in their
many transformations and on a given audience's experience of them.
Topics covered include transformations of literary sources and
their migration into the operatic genre; works that move across
geographical and social boundaries into different cultural
contexts; movements between media and/or genre as well as
alterations through interpretation and performance of the
composer's creation; the translation of spoken theatre to lyric
theatre; the theoretical issues contingent on the rendering of
'speech' into 'song'; and the transforming effects of aesthetic
considerations as they bear on opera. Crossing over disciplinary
boundaries between music, literary studies, history, cultural
studies and art history, the volume enriches our knowledge and
understanding of the operatic experience and the works. The book
will therefore appeal to those working in the field of music,
literary and cultural studies, and to those with a particular
interest in opera and musical theatre.
Meaning in Interaction: An Introduction to Pragmatics is a
comprehensive introductory text which discusses the development of
pragmatics - its aims and methodology - and also introduces themes
that are not generally covered in other texts. Jenny Thomas focuses
on the dynamic nature of speaker meaning, considering the central
roles of both speaker and hearer, and takes into account the social
and psychological factors involved in the generation and
interpretation of utterances. The book includes a detailed
examination of the development of Pragmatics as a discipline,
drawing attention to problems encountered in earlier work, and
brings the reader up to date with recent discussion in the field.
The book is written principally for students with no previous
knowledge of pragmatics, and the basic concepts are covered in
considerable detail. Theoretical and more complicated information
is highlighted with examples that have been drawn from the media,
fiction and real-life interaction, and makes the study more
accessible to newcomers. It is an ideal introductory textbook for
students of linguistics and for all who are interested in analysing
problems in communication.
This significant new book highlights a little acknowledged but
potentially catastrophic crisis of innovation in the global water
sector, which institutions and industries are frighteningly
ill-equipped to tackle or even accept. It suggests potential new
technology and policy approaches to overcome both current and
future problems. The book explores how technological innovation is
vital to help provide sustainable water in both the UK and
developing countries. However, innovation is being overlooked in
the face of global trends to privatize and regulate water
utilities. The authors highlight how the global water sector is
failing to respond to increasingly complex world needs and
continues to build largely unsustainable centralized
infrastructures, opposing more appropriate, distributed and local
modern technologies. The book also includes suggestions for
potentially innovative technology and policy solutions to meet
escalating global water and wastewater demands. Importantly, the
authors adopt a long-term perspective that crosses both
disciplinary and institutional boundaries, and include an
international comparative perspective, covering a diverse range of
examples and countries. This comprehensive book will have a broad
appeal amongst researchers and academics with an interest in
technology management, innovation studies, geography and
development studies. It will also be a valuable asset for water
regulators and governmental and non-governmental organisations
working in this field.
First published in 1998, this text is the prefatory first part of
Austin's Lectures on Jurisprudence or the Philosophy of Positive
Laws and first appeared separately from the Lectures in 1832. This
volume reproduces the standard text of The Province from Robert
Campbell's fifth edition, published in 1885, and clarifies the
structure and readability of the text, retaining Austin's
'Analysis' as a whole at the start of the book. John Austin
(1790-1859) was the first professor of jurisprudence at the
University of London, which is now University College. His classic,
The Province of Jurisprudence Determined, was derived from his
course lectures. Austin took great pride in his ability to clearly
delineate the study of law. Austin took a surgical approach and
created a stripped down view of material central to the study of
law. While this approach overlooks the ambiguity inherent in
interpretations of law, it nevertheless stands as a landmark work
and provides an excellent starting point for any deeper inquiry
into the subject of jurisprudence.
