Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Die Expansion des Bildungssystems und der allgemeine Wettlauf um höhere Bildungsabschlüsse stehen im Widerspruch zur anhaltenden Produktion von Bildungsverlierern. Dabei wird immer ungewisser, ob höhere Bildungsabschlüsse überhaupt zu entsprechenden Berufspositionen führen. Die zunehmend marktgesteuerte Segmentierung des Bildungssystems lässt Bildung zum starken Hebel der Reproduktion längst vergangen geglaubter sozialer Ungleichheitsverhältnisse geraten, anstatt Chancenungleichheit abzubauen, wie es einst gesellschaftli

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The scope of the book falls within a fairly narrow Human-Computer Interac­ tion domain (i. e. , describing a particular input modality), however, it spans a broad range of inter-disciplinary research and application topics. There are at least three domains that stand to benefit from eye tracking research: visual per­ ception, human-computer interaction, and computer graphics. The amalgam­ ation of these topics forms a symbiotic relationship. Graphical techniques pro­ vide a means of generating rich sets of visual stimuli ranging from 2D im­ agery to 3

Overview: In writing this book I have attempted to follow the gen­ eral pattern of the lectures which I have given to pupil midwives at Worcester Royal Infirmary for the past 21 years. In hospital it has been possible to illustrate what I have had to discuss by reference to cases at present in the wards. This unfortunately is not possible to the same extent in a book, but I have no doubt that my readers will be able to apply the principles described to cases under their care. I am sure that this is a most helpful way of fixing in one‘s mind the information which is required not only for examin
