De springprocessie: Levendige lessen in zakelijk schrijven (Docentenreeks)
by M. ClaessensHoewel er nogal gewichtig over wordt gedaan, worden zakelijke teksten 'gewoon' geschreven door mensen van vlees en bloed die schrijven omdat ze iets willen zeggen. Dat is de essentie van dit boek.De springprocessie biedt zestien vrolijke en trefzekere oefeningen waarmee u uw studenten in sprongen kunt leren schrijven. In sprong 1 uiten studenten hun gedachten, observaties en emoties ('Laat je gaan!'), en wel zó dat er precies staat wat ze bedoelen ('Zie ik het echt voor me?'). In sprong 2 leren ze hun lezer 'van binnenuit' kennen en hun teksten op hem af te stellen ('Luister naar de stem van de lezer en becommentarieer zo je tekst'). In sprong 3 is die stem geïnternaliseerd en doen ze aan zelfhulp ('Schrijf eerst brutaal, dan flemend en dan precies goed'). Ze analyseren de context en controleren hun strategie ('Bedenk uitvluchten voor de lezer om niet op je verzoek in te hoeven gaan'). Schrijven is actie, maar ook interactie en reflectie. De teksten worden voorgelezen, geanalyseerd enherschreven.

De verpleegkundige in de AGZ
by J.A.M. Kerstens E. M. Sesink Ij. JungenEen groot deel van de verpleegkundigen in opleiding gaat na hun studie werken in de algemene gezondheidszorg (AGZ). Aankomend verpleegkundigen moeten zich daarom vooraf goed verdiepen in de complexe medische en verpleegkundige problemen van patiënten die opgenomen zijn in het algemeen ziekenhuis. In de beroepspraktijk zal de verpleegkundige patiënten tegenkomen met ziekten die ernstige lichamelijke, emotionele en sociale gevolgen hebben. Niet alleen inzicht in de directe complicaties en gevolgen van de ziekte is nodig, maar vooral zal de beginnend verpleegkundige moeten leren omgaan met de gevolgen, beperkingen en leefregels die de ziekte en behandeling met zich meebrengen. In dit boek komen verschillende aspecten aan bod zoals het werken als verpleegkundige in het ziekenhuis, de verschillende medische en paramedische hulpverleners, de verschillende verpleegkundige functies en kwaliteitszorg. Na een algemeen gedeelte gaan de hoofdstukken over het operatietraject met de preoperatieve zorg, de operatiefase en de postoperatieve fase. Aparte hoofdstukken zijn gewijd aan wonden en wondverzorging, pijn en pijnbestrijding, oncologie en palliatieve zorg. Een vervolg op dit boek is De verpleegkundige in de AGZ: specialistische verpleegkundige zorg. Hierin wordt de klinische verpleegkundige zorg beschreven van patiënten met ziekten van de verschillende orgaansystemen.

De-Centering Global Sociology: The Peripheral Turn in Social Theory and Research (Critical Global Citizenship Education)
by Arthur Bueno Mariana Teixeira David StreckerThis volume explores the challenges posed to sociological theory and social science research by a growing need to foreground perspectives stemming from, and accounting for, subaltern groups, marginal categories, the Global South, and other politically peripheral regions. De-Centering Global Sociology radically questions some of the most enduring assumptions within sociological thought and social science research and illustrates the impacts of de-centering critical concepts in public policy and education. It proposes new places to build social theory, beyond Europe and the United States, offering debates on the present and future of the social sciences. This peripheral turn also has impacts on the development of pedagogical practices, curricula, and educational research that are more inclusive, and in a position to promote global citizenship. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers and academics with an interest in global social theory, decolonial and postcolonial studies, political theory, feminism, critical race theory, economic sociology, inequality studies, urban sociology, and the sociology of work, religion, and education. It will be of particular interest to those with a focus on citizenship, social policy, conviviality, social integration and solidarity, and new perspectives on multicultural education.
De-Stress at Work: Understanding and Combatting Chronic Stress
by Simon L. DolanBurn-out, excessive hours, office politics, handling complaints, isolated remote working, complex and inefficient processes – this book addresses the full complexities of chronic stress at work. It explains the potential for emotional and physical illness resulting from work, and importantly, presents ways in which occupational health and wellbeing can be enhanced through strengthening chronic stress diagnosis and promoting resilience. The latter is a win-win, for the worker, for the organization, and for society in general. Drawing on 40 years of research in collaboration with some of the best-known occupational stress gurus (including Cary Cooper, Susan Jackson, the late Ron Burke and Arie Shirom), Simon L. Dolan translates abstract concepts of chronic stress into practical guidance for enhancing resilience in a VUCA world. The ILO and many governments recognize stress as a principal cause of emerging physical and mental disease and one of the strongest determinants of high absenteeism, low morale and low productivity. While important advances have been made in the diagnosis of acute stress, the field of chronic stress in the workplace remains less clear. This book seeks to address this by presenting a wealth of diagnostic tools, including "The Stress Map". The text is brought to life for the reader by short vignettes in the form of anecdotes and stories. This book will be of particular interest to HR professionals, consultants, executive coaches, therapists and others who wish to help employees and clients better manage their own and others’ stress and to build resilience that leads to a more productive and healthier workforce.

Dead Possums Are Fair Game
by Taryn SoudersElla has two major phobias in life: spiders and mathematics. She firmly believes that anything with more than four legs should not exist. She also believes the world would be a better place without word problems or long division. That being said, she’s fascinated by science. So when her class finds a dead opossum in the playing field one morning, she’s intrigued by rigor mortis and how long it will take for the opossum to unstiffen. Science is so much more interesting than math. Later that day, Ella is certain she must have heard wrong when her teacher announces that there will be no more math tests for the rest of the year. And she isn’t wrong--it is too good to be true. Her teacher explains that instead, the class will be having its first ever math fair. Ella’s group is assigned the topic of time conversions, something Ella’s been struggling with for a while. This is hardly Ella’s idea of fun. But Ella’s mom is quick to point out that math and science aren’t so very different--she suggests that Ella imagine she’s doing a science experiment instead of a math project. With a little imagination and some inspiration from their friend the opossum (now named Morty, short for rigor mortis), Ella and her group come up with a project that gets them excited about math--and they might even have a chance to win at the fair!

A perp who can’t spell,” said Jarvis.“So you think it’s a student?”Professor Roland Norris has been murdered in the early morning hours on the grounds of Välkommen University, and the discovery of the crime sets the scene for Thomas Jones’ new campus mystery.

Deaf Education in the 21st Century: Topics and Trends
by Nanci A. ScheetzAs the author writes in his preface to the edition, Deaf education in the 21st century has and will continue to undergo a rapid transformation primarily due to the advent of technological advances, innovative educational opportunities, and shrinking cultural boundaries. This text provides professionals, preservice teachers, interpreters, counselors, and other related personnel with a broad and balanced perspective on current topics and trends germane to the field today. In the coverage of a wide array of topics that include educational perspectives, psychosocial precepts, communication modes, cochlear implants, advances in hearing-aid technology, and other timely and relevant topics, the reader is exposed to a panoramic view of a complex field rather than an in-depth analysis of each of the major dimensions. This text is a sourcebook on the many dimensions found within the field of deaf education. Designed as a teaching-learning vehicle, basic concepts recur in varying situations, and illustrations and some concepts are repeated in diverging contexts to promote comprehension and enhance retention.
Deaf Epistemologies, Identity, and Learning: A Comparative Perspective
by Goedele A. De ClerckGoedele A. M. De Clerck presents cross-cultural comparative research that examines and documents where deaf flourishing occurs and how it can be advanced. She spotlights collective and dynamic resources of knowledge and learning; the coexistence of lived differences; social, linguistic, cultural, and psychological capital; and human potential and creativity. Deaf Epistemologies, Identity, and Learning argues for an inclusive approach to the intrinsic human diversity in society, education, and scholarship, and shows how emotions of hope, frustration, and humiliation contribute to the construction of identity and community. De Clerck also considers global to local dynamics in deaf identity, deaf culture, deaf education, and deaf empowerment. She presents empirical research through case studies of the emancipation processes for deaf people in Flanders (a region of Belgium), the United States (specifically, at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC), and the West African nation of Cameroon. These three settings illuminate different phases of emancipation in different contexts, and the research findings are integrated into a broader literature review and subjected to theoretical reflection. De Clerck’s anthropology of deaf flourishing draws from her critical application of the empowerment paradigm in settings of daily life, research, leadership, and community work, as she explores identity and well-being through an interdisciplinary lens. This work is centered around practices of signed storytelling and posits learning as the primary access and pathway to culture, identity, values, and change. Change driven by the learning process is considered an awakening—and through this awakening, the deaf community can gain hope, empowerment, and full citizenship. In this way, deaf people are allowed to shape their histories, and the result is the elevation of all aspects of deaf lives around the world.
