You will learn how to overcome barriers to equity of access; embrace a student's cultural capital; attract and retain a diverse talent pool; incorporate intersectional identities in an inclusive classroom; implement more equitable assessment practices; build resilience and equity through chess; advance equity in early childhood programs; abolish a culture of competition and work toward a culture of cooperation; and increase stakeholder commitment to racial equity. Appropriate for K-12 educators at all levels, the book provides strategies, insights, and inspiration to help you lead for equity and make real changes in your classroom, building, and community.

This book, first published in 1987, contains a collection of papers presented at the 18th Binghamton Symposium, focusing on the topic of catastrophic flooding. These papers make the case for the careful collection and interpretation of data from which the importance and effects of catastrophic flooding may be deduced. Questions tackled include: what are the causes and effects of catastrophic flooding? What parameters should be used to measure them? What effect do they have on erosional and depositional landforms? Can modelling be used to predict their flow dynamics?

The two volumes included in Antimicrobial Drug Resistance, Second Edition is an updated, comprehensive and multidisciplinary reference covering the area of antimicrobial drug resistance in bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites from basic science, clinical, and epidemiological perspectives. This newly revised compendium reviews the most current research and development on drug resistance while still providing the information in the accessible format of the first edition. The first volume, Antimicrobial Drug Resistance: Mechanisms of Drug Resistance, is dedicated to the biological basis of drug resistance and effective avenues for drug development. With the emergence of more drug-resistant organisms, the approach to dealing with the drug resistance problem must include the research of different aspects of the mechanisms of bacterial resistance and the dissemination of resistance genes as well as research utilizing new genomic information. These approaches will permit the design of novel strategies to develop new antibiotics and preserve the effectiveness of those currently available. The second volume, Antimicrobial Drug Resistance: Clinical and Epidemiological Aspects, is devoted to the clinical aspects of drug resistance. Although there is evidence that restricted use of a specific antibiotic can be followed by a decrease in drug resistance to that agent, drug resistance control is not easily achieved. Thus, the infectious diseases physician requires input from the clinical microbiologist, antimicrobial stewardship personnel, and infection control specialist to make informed choices for the effective management of various strains of drug-resistant pathogens in individual patients. This 2-volume set is an important reference for students in microbiology, infectious diseases physicians, medical students, basic scientists, drug development researchers, microbiologists, epidemiologists, and public health practitioners.

This book is concerned with changes in the social structures, demographics, and issues in Western democracies along with the impact of those changes on party systems and policy outcomes. Three countries - the United States, the Netherlands, and Belgium - are examined to determine how they accommodate these changes. The United States is investigated as an example of a stable consolidated party system, the Netherlands is included as a representative fragmented parliamentary regime, and Belgium is an extreme example of a sub-culture alienated from the rest of the country. The conflict between the representation function and the function of forming a majority able to govern is stressed.

DESIGN and PLANNING of Research and Clinical LABORATORY FACILITIES

In this primer/professional reference, Leonard Mayer demystifies one of the most complex architectural specialties. An architect with more than thirty-three years' experience as a master planner and programmer of laboratories and clinical facilities, Mr. Mayer offers a comprehensive overview of the fundamental issues related to laboratory planning and design. He also provides designers with a clear and rational framework through which to approach this highly challenging and rewarding design specialty. A superb learning tool for students and professionals just getting started in lab design and a valuable one-volume reference for the experienced professional, Design and Planning of Research and Clinical Laboratory Facilities features:

• Step-by-step guidance through the complex maze of codes, specifications, standards, and official guidelines, relating to the planning, design, and construction processes
• New and updated design criteria based on the most recent laws and regulations
• Master plans, facility programs, functional programs and requirements programs for a wide variety of scientific and medical disciplines and support facilities
• Comprehensive lists of relevant codes, regulations, standards, guidelines, and important architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing criteria

Research and clinical laboratory facilities are, perhaps, the most complex structures to plan and design. Intimidated by a vast and seemingly impenetrable body of codes, regulations, and design criteria pertaining to lab design and construction, many architects, unfortunately, choose to avoid what can be one of the most profitable and professionally rewarding areas of specialization.

Written by an architect with more than thirty-three years of experience as a master planner and programmer of laboratories and clinical facilities, this book demystifies the process of laboratory planning and design. It provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental issues related to laboratory design and offers readers detailed, step-by-step guidance through the complex maze of design specifications and codes, standards, and official guidelines that must be addressed during the programming, planning, design, and construction process.

Focusing mainly on laboratory programming, planning, and design criteria for "wet" laboratory environments, Leonard Mayer provides examples from numerous master plans, facility programs, functional programs and requirements programs applicable to a wide variety of scientific and medical disciplines, and related facilities. Related functions and activities include administrative offices, computer centers, core service and support, building services facilities, and more. He presents new and updated design criteria based on recent laws and regulations and supplies readers with comprehensive lists of relevant codes, regulations, standards, guidelines, and architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing criteria.

Design and Planning of Research and Clinical Laboratory Facilities is an excellent primer for architecture students and newcomers to the field, as well as an indispensable single-volume reference for experienced professionals. It is also an invaluable resource for researchers and investigators, facility planners and managers, plant engineers, and all others involved with the design, construction, maintenance, and administration of laboratory facilities.

Die hier nur kurz und skizzenhaft angedeuteten notwendigen Vorarbeiten haben ffir den Psychotherapeuten ihren bestimmten Sinn und Wert: das Chaos der Angaben des Patienten wird dadurch gesichtet; es ergeben sich Erkenntnisse, aus denen das Bild der Krankheit und ihrer Ursachen zusammengefugt werden kann, urn daraus mehr oder weniger intuitiv die richtige Diagnose zu stellen und die richtige Behand lung einzuleiten. In der Hypnoseerfolgt dann schlieBlich die Zusammenfassung dieser vorher be schaff ten Befunde, da sich hier auch die Beziehungen zwischen dem Seelischen und dem Motorischen bedeutend klarer und plastischer herausarbeiten lassen, als im Zu stand des WachbewuBtseins. Wir haben bei unseren Versuchen gerade diese Tatsache immer wieder beweisen kOnnen und diesen Beweis damit begriindet, daB in der Hyp nose viele der sonst wirksamen Hemmungen ausgeschaltet werden kOnnen. Die See lenlage des Patienten, die ganze Skala seiner Stimmungen offenbart sich dem Hyp notiseur, der daraus zugleich ersehen kann, bis zu welcnem Grade die Suggestionen oder Autosuggestionen plastisch verarbeitet worden sind. So wird man z. B. nur dann von einer Tiefenhypnose sprechen durfen, wenn die Suggestionen zur Formung geistiger Bilder und Vorstellungen fiihren und diese auch kOrperlich zu manifestieren vermOgen. Die Kenntnis dieser Vorgiinge ist ffir uns ein wichtiges Hilfsmittel, urn Erfahrun gen zu sammein, die im Krankheitsbild sonst meist nur in verschleierter Fom sicht bar werden. StOrungen kOnnen in der Hypnose ausgeschaltet, autosuggestive Vor stellungen abgelenkt, seelische und kOrperliche Ausgleichsversuche sowie sonstige unangenehme Nebenerscheinungen vermieden werden.

The emergence of social media platforms as a means of communication and information sharing marks a fundamental change to how societies interact. This new form of media played a formative role in the organization of mass uprisings and demonstrations known as the "Arab Spring" that took place in the Middle East and North Africa in 2011. The study draws data from research in social revolution, social network theory, and mass communications to develop a new model to explain social media's function in the organization and execution of social revolutionary activities. The model integrates DeFronzo's five components of social revolution with Barabasi's social network theory. Shirky and Roy's social media engagement work to explain interaction between the separate groups. The study applies data from the 2011 Egyptian Revolution to test the model. Findings from this research show the model sufficiently identifies social media use across a wide range of groups within a society and maps their respective interaction between online social networks and the occurrence of physical events such as mass demonstrations and similar political unrest. Given limitations in respect to time and the complex variables associated with social problems within such a large scale, this study is unable to definitively predict the extent to which certain groups are likely to respond within the social domain as well as at the state level. This study provides an acceptable theoretical model to serve as the basis for future research in social revolutionary activities.
