• The most comprehensive and up to date photographic history available on the market. • Over 350 full-colour photographs, spanning the birth of photography to contemporary day from a global range of photographers. • The new edition is updated to include the latest advances in technology, the role of the citizen as a photographic journalist, and the role of social media/photo manipulation within photography.

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 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.

The long-awaited new edition of this seminal text features clear, reliable, step-by-step instructions on innovative alternative and traditional photographic processes. Over and above a full update and revision of the technical data, there are new sections on digital negative making, electrophotography, and self-publishing. Foremost practioners, including Edward Bateman, Dan Burkholder, Tom Carpenter, Mark Osterman, France Scully Osterman, Jill Skupin Burkholder, Brian Taylor, and Laurie Tumer, have contributed their expertise to this edition. Perfect for practitioners or students of handmade photography, the book covers classic black-and-white film and paper processes, hand-coated processes like Cyanotype, and Platinum/Palladium. Also featured is an enhanced section on gum bichromate, invaluable instruction on workflow, and the integration of digital, promoting the effective union of one's concepts, materials, and processes. The book showcases work and commentary from more than 150 international artists.

Robert Hirsch's Exploring Color Photography is the thinking photographer's guide to color imagemaking. Now in its sixth edition, this pioneering text clearly and concisely instructs students and intermediate photographers in the fundamental aesthetic and technical building blocks needed to create thought-provoking digital and analog color photographs. Taking both a conceptual and pragmatic approach, the book avoids getting bogged down in complex, ever-changing technological matters, allowing it to stay fresh and engaging. Known as the Bible of Color Photography, its stimulating assignments encourage students to be adventurous and to take responsibility for learning and working independently. The emphasis on design and postmodern theoretical concepts stresses the thought process behind the creation of intriguing images. It's extensive and inspiring collection of images and accompanying captions allow makers to provide insight into how photographic methodology was utilized to visualize and communicate their objectives. The text continues to deliver inspiring leadership in the field of color photography with the latest accurate information, ideas, commentary, history, a diverse collection of contemporary images, and expanded cellphone photography coverage. A "Problem Solving and Writing" chapter offers methods and exercises that help one learn to be a visual problem solver and to discuss and write succinctly about the concepts at the foundation of one's work. Exploringcolorphotography.com, the companion website, has been revamped and updated to feature more student and teacher resources, including a new web-based timeline: As It Happened: A Chronological History of Color Photography.

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
