Refined and streamlined, Systems Analysis And Design In A Changing World helps students develop the conceptual, technical, and managerial foundations for systems analysis design and implementation as well as project management principles for systems development.
Using case driven techniques, the succinct 14-chapter text focuses on content that is key for success in today's systems analysis and design. The authors use a highly effective presentation to teach both traditional (structured) and object-oriented (OO) approaches to systems analysis and design. The book highlights use cases, use diagrams, and use case descriptions required for a modeling approach, while demonstrating their application to traditional, web development, object-oriented, and service-oriented architecture approaches.
The Seventh Edition's refined sequence of topics makes it easier to read and understand than ever. Regrouped analysis and design chapters provide more flexibility in course organization. Enabling students to apply what they learn as they go, the text's running cases have been completely updated, and now include a stronger focus on connectivity in applications.
This seventh edition of Human Resource Management in South Africa provides a complete introduction and guide to Human Resource Management in the challenging and changing business world of modern South Africa.
The many changes and events in both the external and internal environments for South African organisations in recent years have presented human resource managers with even greater challenges. Increasingly these managers, and the human resource function in general are being asked to make an even more significant contribution to the success of their organisations.
This textbook will help you understand and handle the complexity, speed and magnitude of these changes and their impact on HR issues and policy, as well as how HR can, in turn, help South African organisations and their employees create value and achieve competitive advantage.
Surviving critical illness is not always the happy ending we
imagine for patients. Many ICU survivors suffer from a range of
long-lasting physical and psychological issues such end stage renal
disease, congestive heart failure, cognitive impairment,
neuromuscular weakness, and depression or anxiety, which affect
their overall quality of life and ability to lead productive lives.
This lingering burden or 'legacy' of critical illness is now
recognized as a major public health issue, with major efforts
underway to understand how it can be prevented, mitigated, or
treated. The Textbook of Post-ICU Medicine: The Legacy of Critical
Care discusses the science of the recovery process and the
innovative treatment regimens which are helping ICU survivors
regain function as they heal following trauma or disease.
Describing the major clinical syndromes affecting ICU survivors,
the book delineates established or postulated biological mechanisms
of the post-acute recovery process, and discusses strategies for
treatment and rehabilitation to promote recovery in the ICU and in
the long term. The chapters are written by an interdisciplinary
panel of leading clinicians and researchers working in the field.
The book serves as a unique reference for general practitioners,
internists and nurses caring for long term ICU survivors as well as
specialists in intensive care medicine, neurology, psychiatry, and
rehabilitation medicine.
In Death, Dying, and Organ Transplantation: Reconstructing Medical
Ethics at the End of Life, Miller and Truog challenge fundamental
doctrines of established medical ethics. They argue that the
routine practice of stopping life support technology in hospitals
causes the death of patients and that donors of vital organs
(hearts, lungs, liver, and both kidneys) are not really dead at the
time that their organs are removed for life-saving transplantation.
These practices are ethically legitimate but are not compatible
with traditional rules of medical ethics that doctors must not
intentionally cause the death of their patients and that vital
organs can be obtained for transplantation only from dead donors.
In this book Miller and Truog undertake an ethical examination that
aims to honestly face the reality of medical practices at the end
of life. They expose the misconception that stopping life support
merely allows patients to die from their medical conditions, and
they dispute the accuracy of determining death of hospitalized
patients on the basis of a diagnosis of "brain death" prior to
vital organ donation. After detailing the factual and conceptual
errors surrounding current practices of determining death for the
purpose of organ donation, the authors develop a novel ethical
account of procuring vital organs. In the context of reasonable
plans to withdraw life support, still-living patients are not
harmed or wronged by organ donation prior to their death, provided
that valid consent has been obtained for stopping treatment and for
organ donation.
Recognizing practical difficulties in facing the truth regarding
organ donation, the authors also develop a pragmatic alternative
account based on the concept of transparent legal fictions. In sum,
Miller and Truog argue that in order to preserve the legitimacy of
end-of-life practices, we need to reconstruct medical ethics.
Archaeologists, historians, chemists, and physicists have employed
a variety of chemical and physical approaches to study artifacts
and historical objects since at least the late 18th century. During
the past 50 years, the chemistry of archaeological materials has
increasingly been used to address a broad spectrum of
anthropological topics, including preservation, dating, nativity,
exchange, provenance, and manufacturing technology. This book
brings together 28 papers that address how various analytical
techniques can be used to address specific archaeological
questions. Chemists, archaeologists, geologists, graduate students,
and others in related disciplines who are investigating the use of
archaeometric techniques will find this book of interest.
This timely guide explains how businesses can effectively integrate
and coordinate career and succession planning programs to meet the
personnel demands of the future. Drawing on their experience and
expertise with workforce development, the authors of this book
based its content on a single but important premise. With global
economic instability, a slowdown in workforce growth, extraordinary
competition for the best talent, and the rapid advance of
technology, there is an immediate need to integrate career and
succession planning programs. Explaining how to do just that, this
practical, user-friendly guide is the first to link those critical
business tools, showing readers how to prepare for tomorrow-and the
many years after. The book presents a systematic approach through
which businesses can integrate and coordinate career planning and
succession planning programs. Part One makes the business case for
moving beyond segregated career and succession planning and shows
why they must be integrated. Part Two offers foundations for
integration, while Part Three outlines the strategies that can make
integration a reality. Part Four addresses the future of career
development and succession planning. Other topics include the
future of organizational infrastructure and the implications of a
diverse workforce. Employee engagement and leadership development
are also explored. Examines career development in a much broader
manner than is traditionally the case by focusing on both the
personal and professional development planning needs of employees
Demonstrates how employees who are given tools and organizational
guidance necessary to plan their development will usually be more
successful in meeting their career aspirations Expands on the
organization's role in establishing career development programs to
answer the question of who is responsible-the organization, the
employee, or both Includes cutting-edge research by leading
consulting firms such as BlessingWhite, Manpower Group, and DDI
Offers content that will be equally valuable to students,
practitioners, and academicians
