Overview: Lean thinking is a key area and of growing significance in the study of healthcare delivery and health administration.Examines ICT use in healthcare while grounded in leading management theories.Compr.A growing, aging population; the rise to epidemic proportions of various chronic diseases; competing, often overlapping medical technologies; and of course, skyrocketing costs compounded by waste and inefficiency - these are just a few of the multifarious challenges currently facing healthcare delivery. An.unexpected source of solutions is being imported from the manufacturing sector: l

Overview: Whilst earlier studies of language planning and of standardisation have tended to study macro processes, this volume is in line with more recent work aimed at bridging the macro and the micro levels by examining how the two interact and influence each other. It covers seven countries and deals with a range of sociolinguistic constellations.978-1-137-36124-0

Overview: Describes processes occurring in Czech landscape since the mid-19th century, ranging from losses of agricultural land and urbanisation, to landscape simplification and regional differentiation of land.The objective of this book is to analyze changes in the landscape of Czechoslovakia / the Czech Republic since the first half of the 19th century. The text focuses not only on describing these considerable changes by means of statistical and spatial data, but also on explaining the processes, societal, economic, political and institutional forces that drive them. Drawing on more than tw

Overview: A turning point seems to have been reached recently in our understanding of biological systems. After about 1930, when it became possible to examine the dynamic aspects of a cell seriously and to increase the breadth of our knowledge of the chemicals which are involved, there was a feeling that the elucidation of a pathway or the use to which a compound or a process was put biologically had a ubiquitous character. Among the reasons for believing this was the constancy of the amino acid building blocks for proteins. Not only were the same general structures found regardless of organis

Overview: In some Latin American countries, traffickers equipped with vast resources have corrupted individuals in every aspect of public life, compromising the integrity of entire national institutions - the political system and the judiciary, the military, the police, and banking and financial systems. Moreover, Latin America, like Europe and the USA, has a drug consumption problem. Yet, drug control in Latin America is beset with contradictions. For some Latin Americans, illicit drug production in the form of coca cultivation is a traditional way of life, and has often been an economic bulw

Overview: Learning to rank refers to machine learning techniques for training the model in a ranking task. Learning to rank is useful for many applications in information retrieval, natural language processing, and data mining. Intensive studies have been conducted on the problem recently and significant progress has been made. This lecture gives an introduction to the area including the fundamental problems, existing approaches, theories, applications, and future work. The author begins by showing that various ranking problems in information retrieval and natural language processing can be fo

Overview: In the study of forms of legal reasoning, logic andargumentation theory long followed separate tracks. `Legal logicians‘tended to focus on a deductive reconstruction of justifying adecision, disregarding the dialectical process leading to the chosenjustification. Others instead emphasized the adversarial anddiscretionary nature of legal reasoning, involving reasonableevaluation of alternative choices, and the use of analogicalreasoning. .Recently, however, developments in Artificial Intelligence and Lawhave paved the way for overcoming this separation. Logic has widenedits scope to d

Overview: General circulation model (GCM) experiments in the late 1970‘s indicated that the climate is sensitive to variations in evaporation at the land surface. Thus, in the context of climate modeling, it became important to develop techniques which would realistically estimate the evaporation flux on land. .Land Surface Evaporation: Measurement and . .Parameterization. discusses strategies for the use of experimental data in developing and testing parameterization schemes of the evaporation flux in GCM‘s. The book reviews state-of-the-art techniques, such as remote sensing, which measure e

Overview: Offers new contributions to current debates around Latin American documentary film.Examines continuities and ruptures between the militant “Third Cinema” of the 1960s and 1970s and the more subjective.Nearly two decades into the new millennium, Latin American documentary film is experiencing renewed vibrancy and visibility on the global stage. While elements of the combative, politicized cinema of the 1960s and 1970s remain, the region’s production has become increasingly subjective, reflexive, and experimental, though perhaps no less political. At the same time, Latin American filmm
