Includes images from over 235 international contributing artists to illustrate how to create thought provoking, digitally based photographs. New topics include 3D photography, animated sequences, augmented reality, drones, effects of image manipulation, immersive media, interactive installations, protest photography, and expanded content on smart phone photography and photography in social media and activism. Emphasises the fundamental aesthetic and technical building blocks needed to create effective and thought-provoking digital photographs.

This groundbreaking survey of significant work and ideas focuses on imagemakers who have pushed beyond the boundaries of photography as a window on our material world. Through interviews with more than 40 key artists, this book explores a diverse group of curious experimentalists who have propelled the medium's evolution by visualizing their subject matter as it originates from their minds eye. Many favor the historical techniques commonly known as alternative photographic processes, but all these makers demonstrate that the real alternative is found in their mental approach and not in their use of physical methods. Within this context, photographer and photography historian Robert Hirsch outlines the varied approaches these artists have utilized to question conventional photographic practices, to convey internal realities, and to examine what constitutes photographic reality. Hirsch explores the half-century evolution of these concepts and methodologies and their popularity among contemporary imagemakers who are merging digital and analog processes to express what was thought to be photographically inexpressible.

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the logic behind hypothesis testing. Readers will learn to understand statistical hypothesis testing and how to interpret P-values under a variety of conditions including a single hypothesis test, a collection of hypothesis tests, and tests performed on accumulating data. The author explains how a hypothesis test can be interpreted to draw conclusions, and descriptions of the logic behind frequentist (classical) and Bayesian approaches to interpret the results of a statistical hypothesis test are provided. Both approaches have their own strengths and challenges, and a special challenge presents itself when hypothesis tests are repeatedly performed on accumulating data. Possible pitfalls and methods to interpret hypothesis tests when accumulating data are also analyzed. This book will be of interest to researchers, graduate students, and anyone who has to interpret the results of statistical analyses.

This book addresses the description and analysis of occurrence data frequently encountered in epidemiological studies. With the occurrence of Covid-19, people have been exposed to the analysis and interpretation of epidemiological data. To be informed consumers of this information, people need to understand the nature and analysis of these data. Effort is made to emphasize concepts rather than mathematics. Subjects range from description of the frequencies of disease to the analysis of associations between the occurrence of disease and exposure. Those analyses begin with simple associations and work up to complex relationships that involve the control of extraneous characteristics. Analyses rely on the statistical software R, which is freeware in wide use by professional epidemiologists and other scientists.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Gesundheitswissenschaften, Note: 1,0, Hochschule Deggendorf (Fachhochschule Deggendorf in Kooperation mit dem Medizinischen Dienst der Krankenversicherung in Bayern), Veranstaltung: Pflegeberater Weiterbildung, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Ausgezeichnet als herausragende Arbeit, Abstract: Die Hoffnung, dass sich die Gewaltbereitschaft des Menschen als ein urtumliches Phanomen durch evolutionare oder zivilisatorische Entwicklungen im Laufe der Zeit verfluchtigen wurde, verbleibt ein Wunschgedanke. Zwar findet offene Gewalt im Alltag kaum mehr statt, dies darf jedoch nicht daruber hinwegtauschen, dass Gewalt immer noch vorhanden ist - subtiler und vor der Offentlichkeit versteckt - insbesondere im hauslichen Umfeld. Der offentliche Aufschrei, wenn diese nunmehr verborgene Gewalt Kinder oder Frauen trifft, ist laut - die Motivation der Politik zum Handeln, wenn auch oftmals populistisch, ist gross. Was aber, wenn ein alterer, vielleicht sogar pflegebedurftiger Mitmensch zum Opfer der Gewalt wird? In wirtschaftlich schwierigen Zeiten, in denen der alte Mensch als Belastungs- und Kostenfaktor des sozialen und gesellschaftlichen Lebens verstanden wird, erscheint es zunehmend schwer auf die Viktimisierung dieser Bevolkerungsgruppe hinzuweisen. Vordergrundig sollen im Rahmen dieser Arbeit die Ursachen und die Entwicklung von Gewalt in der hauslichen Pflege dargestellt werden, damit Anzeichen fur drohende oder bereits geschehene Gewalthandlungen erkannt und geeignete Hilfemassnahmen fur Pflegeperson und Pflegebedurftigen eingeleitet werden konne
