This book provides a concise set of protocols for assessing
basic neutrophil functions, investigating specialized areas in
neutrophil research, and completing step-by-step diagnostic assays
of common neutrophil disorders. Each of the protocols is written by
leading researchers in the field and includes hints for success, as
well as guidance for troubleshooting. Scientists and clinicians
will find this collection an invaluable aid.
Few parties have undergone such comprehensive organizational change
as the Labour Party since 1983. Labour's organization once
institutionalized the political exchange between office-seeking
politicians and the party's policy-seeking trade union paymasters.
Using accessible rational choice models, Thomas Quinn explores how
consecutive election defeats prompted party leaders to modernize
this structure to regain voters' trust, reducing union influence in
policymaking, parliamentary candidate selection and leadership
contests. The price may be a centralized party vulnerable to
membership exit and union funding cuts.
Neutrophils, the most abundant white cells in humans, serve as the
primary cellular defense against infection. Neutrophil Methods and
Protocols, Second Edition provides a concise set of protocols
written by leading researchers in the field for assessing basic
neutrophil functions, investigating specialized areas in neutrophil
research, and completing step diagnostic assays of common
neutrophil disorders. Topics covered include an overview of
neutrophils and their role in host defense and inflammation;
methods most commonly used for isolating neutrophils from humans
and other animal species; procedures for subcellular fractionation
of human neutrophils, analysis of in vivo transmigrated
neutrophils, generation of mature neutrophils from induced
pluripotent stem cells and analysis of neutrophil gene expression;
methods for investigating priming, oxidant production,
phagocytosis, bactericidal activity and extracellular trap
formation and protocols for investigating neutrophil adhesion,
chemotaxis and outside-in signaling via integrins. Written in the
successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters
include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the
necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily
reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding
known pitfalls. Authoritative and easily accessible, Neutrophil
Methods and Protocols, Second Edition is a comprehensive source for
detailed explanations and applications of the most modern
methodological advances in neutrophil biology. Both basic
scientists and clinicians will find a collection of this caliber to
be an invaluable aid in their work with neutrophils.
Recent years have seen renewed interest in divine action, but much
of the literature tends to focus on the science-theology
discussion. Resulting from multi-year work of the Scripture and
Doctrine Seminar, part of KLC's Scripture Collective, this book
attends to the portrayal of divine action in one major biblical
text, namely Hebrews. In the New Testament, Hebrews is on par with
Romans in terms of importance but has too often been overlooked.
Contributors to this volume explore the many different ways in
which divine action is foregrounded and portrayed in Hebrews. As
its name indicates, Hebrews overflows with Old Testament
intertextuality, which also makes it a fertile ground for analysis
of divine action stretching back into the Old Testament and opening
out into different parts of the NT. The essays in this volume:
rigorously work the interface of theology and exegesis, all related
to Hebrews; offer an overview of the current state of discussion of
divine action and the importance of exploring divine action in
specific biblical texts, with special reference to William
Abraham's recent 4 volume work with OUP; provide an overview of the
reception history of Hebrews in theologies of divine action;
explore how this has this played out in historical theology and
what a retrieval of Hebrews for a theology of divine action might
mean today; explore the relationship between the doctrine of God
and divine action in Hebrews, including an engagement with
classical theism; provocatively explore divine action in the OT,
creation, and eschatology in Hebrews; explore the major theme in
Hebrews of divine action through the ongoing priesthood of Jesus as
portrayed in Hebrews; relate this all to preaching Hebrews today
and to spiritual formation. The book's conclusion reflects on the
primary action of God speaking in Hebrews.
2011 AJN Book of the Year Winner in Nursing Education
Updated, revised, and expanded, this fourth edition of a
"survival manual" for new teachers offers the most current thinking
in nursing education, from practical nursing, to baccalaureate and
master's programs. It also serves as a comprehensive guide for
novice educators in classroom and clinical teaching settings.
Chapters offer helpful strategies for making clinical assignments,
preparing lectures and seminars, all aspects of testing and
grading, supervision, facilitating group study, selecting
textbooks, guiding independent study, and helping students improve
their writing skills.
This fourth edition also features best practices and lessons
learned from partnerships between university and clinical settings,
and contains new strategies for conducting online teaching,
including the use of technology. Specific indicators help educators
identify appropriate lessons for different course levels. The guide
additionally provides links to online resources in each chapter,
including some with revised templates for checklists and rubrics.
Key Features
Distills best practices and lessons learned from academic and
clinical world partnerships Serves as a quick refresher for the
experienced educator reentering a classroom or clinical teaching
assignment Addresses new cross-disciplinary "team" approach to
assessment and intervention Features links to online resources in
each chapter, including revised templates for checklist and rubrics
along with a digital adjunct for educator use Authored by noted
national and international experts in nursing education
