Anatomie en fysiologie: Basiswerk V&V, niveau 4 (Basiswerken Verpleging en Verzorging)
by Ij. D. Jüngen M. J. Tervoort C. A. Bastiaanssen A.A.F. JochemsVerpleegkundigen baseren hun handelen grotendeels op geneeskundige gegevens. Om deze gegevens juist te kunnen interpreteren, is een goede theoretische en praktische kennis van de anatomie en fysiologie nodig. Het basiswerk Anatomie en fysiologie geeft inzicht in de anatomie en in fysiologische processen, en is een uitstekende basis om pathologische verschijnselen bij de patiënt te leren herkennen, interpreteren en hier adequaat op te reageren.De anatomie houdt zich bezig met het bestuderen van de bouw van het menselijk lichaam. Onder fysiologie verstaan we de wetenschap van de verrichtingen van het menselijk lichaam en de functies van de verschillende onderdelen. In dertien hoofdstukken komen de verschillende onderdelen van anatomie en fysiologie aan de orde. Van circulatie tot zenuwstelsel, van zintuigen tot voortplanting: Anatomie en fysiologie geeft een compleet overzicht. De stof is logisch ingedeeld en sluit uitstekend aan bij het handelen in de praktijk. Het boek is bovendien rijk geïllustreerd.
Anatomie en fysiologie: Niveau 3 (Basiswerken Verpleging en Verzorging)
by N. HalemDit boek bevat alle basiskennis van anatomie en fysiologie die verzorgenden nodig hebben om hun beroep goed uit te kunnen oefenen. Kennis over het menselijk lichaam en inzicht in het functioneren ervan zijn belangrijke voorwaarden om op een veilige manier zorg te kunnen verlenen.Met Anatomie en fysiologie hebben verzorgenden een prettig leesbaar en logisch geordend boek in handen. De afbeeldingen en duidelijke tekst zorgen er voor dat leerlingen de theorie makkelijk eigen kunnen maken en verbanden leren begrijpen.In dit boek worden de verschillende orgaansystemen behandeld. Omdat de bouw - en functie van het lichaam sterk met elkaar samenhangen, komen beide steeds in elk hoofdstuk aan bod. Ook wordt er een duidelijke relatie gelegd tussen de fysiologie en ziekteverschijnselen. Hoe kunnen verzorgenden ziekteverschijnselen die zij zien, verklaren vanuit de anatomie en fysiologie? In elk hoofdstuk wordt in aparte kaders (in de rubriek In de praktijk) een aantal verschijnselen vanuit de fysiologie verklaard, bijvoorbeeld bij het hoofdstuk Spijsvertering: braken, geelzucht, obstipatie en diarree. Bij het hoofdstuk Huid: jeuk en bij hoofdstuk Zenuwstelsel wordt een verband gelegd tussen de anatomie en uitvalsverschijnselen.Zoveel mogelijk Nederlandse termen worden gebruikt, soms aangevuld met de meest voorkomende Latijnse namen. Achter in het basiswerk is een verklarende woordenlijst latijn-nederlands opgenomen, zodat leerlingen het altijd kunnen opzoeken.
Anatomie strategischer Entscheidungen: Komplexität im Unternehmen verstehen, analysieren und meistern (essentials)
by Andreas BeisswengerAndreas Beisswenger entwickelt aus der Analogie zwischen der Anatomie des Menschen und dem Aufbau von Entscheidungssituationen, die sich beide durch äußerste Komplexität auszeichnen, eine neue Sichtweise auf strategische Entscheidungen. Damit wird ein besseres Verständnis für diese geschaffen. Das essential analysiert den grundlegenden Aufbau hochkomplexer Entscheidungssituationen. Dies ist eine unabdingbare Voraussetzung für erfolgreiche strategische Maßnahmen. Der Autor stellt eine Entscheidungshilfe vor, welche eine reduktionistische Betrachtungsweise vermeidet, die oftmals Ursache für unzulängliche strategische Entscheidungen ist. Konkrete Hinweise zur Planung und Umsetzung eines strategischen Entscheidungsprozesses in der Praxis runden das essential ab.

Anatomy of Global Stock Market Crashes: An Empirical Analysis (SpringerBriefs in Economics)
by Chitrakalpa Sen Gagari ChakrabartiThis work is an exploration of the global market dynamics, their intrinsic natures, common trends and dynamic interlinkages during the stock market crises over the last twelve years. The study isolates different phases of crisis and differentiates between any crisis that remains confined to the region and those that take up a global dimension. The latent structure of the global stock market, the inter-regional and intra-regional stock market dynamics around the crises are analyzed to get a complete picture of the structure of the global stock market. The study further probing into the inherent nature of the global stock market in generating crisis finds the global market to be chaotic thus making the system intrinsically unstable or at best to follow knife-edge stability. The findings have significant bearing at theoretical level and on policy decisions.
Anatomy of Hard Talks: What Makes a Conversation Fail
by Holly WeeksEvery difficult conversation is unique, but what separates hard talks from normal conversations is not as individual as we might think. Across the board, there are three traits - with real costs - that make difficult conversations categorically different: combat mentality, emotional loads, and being hard to read. In addition, our simple and familiar ideas about how to handle tough conversations don't help us. We can't get through these conversations if we don't look more closely at what we actually do that makes them go bad.

Anatomy of Success: The Science of Inheriting Your Brain's Wealth & Power While You're Still Alive!
by Saleem BidaouiSome people are truly committed to do whatever it takes to change the status quo. They read all they can, attend seminars, and listen to CDs every day, but to no avail. Anatomy Of Success addresses this issue and provides insights on why some of us fail and what they should do to achieve what they want…on a permanent basis. The book has two parts. Part One is about understanding the mechanics of our brain and why we may, or may not, achieve what we want in life. Further, it’s about tapping into our true potential, and why & how every normal human being is fully equipped to reach any summit of success they may desire. Part Two, however, is about the tools, and the process, needed to complete the journey, naturally and effortlessly. Most of us use computer programs at minimum capacity simply because that’s all we know. Most of us use our brains in the same way. The goal of this book is to illustrate the real capacity and potency of our brains, then provide the essential tools, and the means, to achieve our dreams. Anatomy Of Success is unique in a sense that it not only has a wealth of scientific evidence about how the brain achieves success, but also provides a simple and easy process to clean up our bio-hard-drive, tune it up, then reprogram it for optimal success. The book appeals to those interested in understanding the roots and the molecular structure of success rather than merely following instructions on how to get there.

Anatomy of a Cover-Up: The Truth about the RCMP and the Nova Scotia Massacres
by Paul PalangoNATIONAL BESTSELLERFOLLOW-UP TO THE #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER 22 MURDERS The truth about the deadliest criminal incident in Canadian history has remained untold—until now.Investigative journalist Paul Palango&’s 22 Murders examined the April 2020 shooting spree committed by Gabriel Wortman that began in Portapique, Nova Scotia, and ended thirteen and a half hours later when Wortman was shot dead by RCMP officers. The episode left numerous serious questions in its wake—most especially why was the killer able to evade police in such limited geography for so long?Since then, the government called a public inquiry into the massacres—the Mass Casualty Commission. Though Palango unearthed a treasure trove of evidence pointing to the possibility that Wortman or someone close to him was acting as a police agent, the commission evaded all the big questions and let the RCMP off with a slap on the wrist. To this day, no one has been held accountable.In this new book, Palango continues to crack the case, delving deeper into the evidence and testimonies of the witnesses who have been ignored. Drawing on his vast experience as an investigative reporter, he has mined the thousands of pages of commission documents to reveal the wall of secrecy and deceptions constructed by the RCMP and the criminal justice system, exposing new facts that may alter the public&’s perception of what really happened.A tour-de-force of reportage, Anatomy of a Cover-Up accomplishes what the commission set out to do—uncover the truth about the Nova Scotia massacres and bring long overdue justice to its victims.

Anay's Will to Learn: A Woman's Education in the Shadow of the Maquiladoras
by Elaine M. HamptonThe opening of free trade agreements in the 1980s caused major economic changes in Mexico and the United States. These economic activities spawned dramatic social changes in Mexican society. One young Mexican woman, Anay Palomeque de Carrillo, rode the tumultuous wave of these economic activities from her rural home in tropical southern Mexico to the factories in the harsh desert lands of Ciudad Juárez during the early years of the city’s notorious violence. During her years as an education professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, author Elaine Hampton researched Mexican education in border factory (maquiladora) communities. On one trip across the border into Ciudad Juárez, she met Anay, who became her guide in uncovering the complexities of a factory laborer’s experiences in these turbulent times. Hampton here provides an exploration of education in an era of dramatic social and economic upheaval in rural and urban Mexico. This critical ethnographic case study presents Anay’s experiences in a series of narrative essays addressing the economic, social, and political context of her world. This young Mexican woman leads us through Ciudad Juárez in its most violent years, into women’s experiences in the factories, around family and religious commitments as well as personal illness, and on to her achievement of an education through perseverance and creativity.
Ancestral Mindset: Adopting an Evolutionary Framework to Lead, Influence, and Collaborate
by John DanielAncestral Mindset by thought leader and human relations expert John Daniel offers deep insight into what motivates us and drives our actions and how we can use that information to better lead, influence, and collaborate at work and home.If human evolutionary history were compressed into a single calendar year with our earliest ancestor arriving on January 1, our transition from hunter-gatherers wouldn&’t occur until the end of December. We were hunter-gatherers for well over 90 percent of our collective history. The key to understanding us is understanding the hunter-gatherer neurocircuitry that crafted our human nature. In Ancestral Mindset, John Daniel traces the development of the human brain from the birth of our species and applies his insights to teach leadership and teamwork from an evolutionary-neurological perspective. Why is your fight-or-flight instinct on a hair trigger when the boss calls you in? Why does receiving advice from a colleague induce a threat state? Why does it feel so disproportionately risky to disagree with the team? The answers to those questions lie in our collective past. As a heart-transplant recipient with decades of executive HR experience, Daniel knows a thing or two about risk, survival, and human behavior from the operating room to the board room. His unique personal story and voracious appetite for research have led to a text as potentially transformative as it is bursting with information. If you are interested in upping your leadership game, improving your relationships, or just becoming more persuasive, Ancestral Mindset will help you adapt from the brain down. Access your inner hunter-gatherer and transform your take on what motivates, elevates, and convinces. It will make you a better leader, a better employee, and a better Homo sapiens to those around you.

Anchor Yourself (Keeping a Sense of One's Essential Personal Identity Is Key to Weathering the Storms of Leadership)
by Marty Linsky Ronald A. HeifetzThis chapter highlights how many people experience a rude awakening when they leave positions of authority. The benefits they enjoyed in the past were often more associated with their role or position than with their personal identity. It's critical--though hugely challenging--to distinguish oneself from one's job or one's organizational role. If a leader is anchored in his- or herself, and recognizes and respects his or her various but distinct roles, he or she is less vulnerable to the pains of leadership. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 9 of "Leadership on the Line."
Anchoring Innovation Districts: The Entrepreneurial University and Urban Change (Higher Education and the City)
by Costas SpirouAs universities transform cities with their innovation districts, what works in these new public-private partnerships?In recent years, the successful revitalization of urban areas has turned them into magnets for those looking for opportunities in a fast-paced and rapidly unfolding technology-based economy. After the economic crisis of 2008, many colleges and universities attempted to generate alternative sources of revenue and pursued aggressive economic development strategies. Some universities even began to actively invest resources in the rebirth (and rebranding) of urban cores, encouraging the development of entrepreneurial, technology-oriented innovation districts. In Anchoring Innovation Districts, Costas Spirou explains that these districts have emerged as geographic clusters of technology startups, business incubators, and accelerators. They aim to take advantage of intellectual capital, commercialize knowledge, and give their associated institutions a way to enter into the market. The outcome of robust private-public partnerships and complex real estate strategies, these initiatives also complement other urban revitalization efforts and reshape the socioeconomic makeup of city neighborhoods. Presenting readers with six case studies that explore the role of technological innovation, Spirou argues that higher education–anchored innovation districts can make significant contributions to economic expansion, job growth, and the institutions that guide their development. He also points out that these districts nonetheless raise questions about the impact of the Ivory Tower on the urban environment. Spirou focuses on Midtown Atlanta's Tech Square (Georgia Tech), Cambridge's Kendall Square (MIT), Philadelphia's University City (the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, and the University of the Sciences), the PHX Core (Arizona State University), and the role that the University of West Florida in Pensacola and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga play in developing innovation ecosystems. Anchoring Innovation Districts provides unique insight into the transformative opportunities offered and the challenges faced by higher education in the built environment. University administrators, board members, policy makers, and scholars will find Spirou's analysis thought-provoking and helpful.
Anchoring New Approaches in the Culture: Overcoming Barriers to Organizational Change
by John P. KotterWhen the new practices made in a transformation effort are not compatible with the relevant cultures, they will always be subject to regression. Changes in a work group, a division, or an entire company can come undone, even after years of effort, because the new approaches haven't been anchored firmly in group norms and values. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 10 of "Leading Change."

Ancient Economies in Comparative Perspective: Material Life, Institutions and Economic Thought (Frontiers in Economic History)
by Monika Poettinger Bertram Schefold Marcella FrangipaneThis book investigates the economic organization of ancient societies from a comparative perspective. By pursuing an interdisciplinary approach, including contributions by archaeologists, historians of antiquity, economic historians as well as historians of economic thought, it studies various aspects of ancient economies, such as the material living conditions including production technologies, etc.; economic institutions such as markets and coinage; as well as the economic thinking of the time. In the process, it also explores the comparability of economic thought, economic institutions and economic systems in ancient history. Focusing on the Ancient Near East as well as the Mediterranean, including Greece and Rome, this comparative perspective makes it possible to identify historical permanencies, but also diverse forms of social and political organization and cultural systems. These institutions are then evaluated in terms of their capacity to solve economic problems, such as the efficient use of resources or political stability. The first part of the book introduces readers to the methodological context of the comparative approach, including an evaluation of the related historiographical tradition. Subsequent parts discuss a range of development models, elements of economic thinking in ancient societies, the role of trade and globalization, and the use of monetary and financial instruments, as well as political aspects.
