It builds on a basis of introductory microeconomics and continues the discussion, generally at an intermediate standard. The text has an international perspective, primarily the US, Canada, Europe and Australia, and contains relevant and entertaining case studies. The te

Overview: This book analyses the changing political recruitment of the Australian federal parliamentary elite. It argues that the elite‘s quality has been reduced to a worrisome degree, especially since the 1990s. It suggests that the declining quality of the Australian ‘political class‘ is a major factor behind the declining public trust in politicians.978-1-137-51806-4

Overview: This book has had a three-fold origin, corresponding to the discoveries made by the three authors and their collaborators during the last few years - mostly since 1962. A most fruitful symposium on the cerebellum was held in Tokyo at the time of the International Physiological Congress in September 1965, and there was then formulated the project of writing this book so as to organize all this new knowledge and make it readily available, and to give opportunity for the con­ ceptual developments that may be seen in Chapters XI, XII and XV in particular. The present account of the physi

Overview: This book investigates the political conditions and policies most likely to bring about progress toward inclusive development, drawing on in-depth analyses of four cases studies with distinct development trajectories (Mexico, Indonesia, Chile and South Korea). While exclusion and differential inclusion have long been features of development in the Global South, economic globalization has introduced new forms with which Global South countries must grapple. The book highlights the main policy drawbacks of most official approaches: neglect of the need to enhance the role and capacity of

Overview: Physical symptoms are fascinating phenomena to examine. We all experience them, use them as signals to guide our behavior, and usually assume that they accurately represent underlying physiological activity. At the same time, we implicitly know that bodily sensations are often vague, ambiguous, and subject to a variety of interpretations. It is not surprising, then, that there is often a disparity between what we think is going on in our bodies and what is objectively occurring. In short, phenomena such as physical symptoms are the stuff of psychology. My own research into physical s

Overview: The general concept of information is here, for the first time, defined mathematically by adding one single axiom to the probability theory. This Mathematical Theory of Information is explored in fourteen chapters: 1. Information can be measured in different units, in anything from bits to dollars. We will here argue that any measure is acceptable if it does not violate the Law of Diminishing Information. This law is supported by two independent arguments: one derived from the Bar-Hillel ideal receiver, the other is based on Shannon‘s noisy channel. The entropy in the ‘classical info

Overview: Combines clearly written text and succinct R code.Utilizes a building-block approach from simple to complex, enabling readers to develop a clinical feel for item response theory and how its concepts aThis graduate-level textbook is a tutorial for item response theory that covers both the basics of item response theory and the use of R for preparing graphical presentation in writings about the theory. Item response theory has become one of the most powerful tools used in test construction, yet one of the barriers to learning and applying it is the considerable amount of sophisticated

Overview: European welfare states are currently under stress and the ‘social contracts‘ that underpin them are being challenged. First, welfare spending has arguably ‘grown to limits‘ in a number of countries while expanding everywhere in the 1990s in line with higher unemployment. Second, demographic change and the emergence of new patterns of family and working life are transforming the nature of ‘needs‘. Third, the economic context and the policy autonomy of nation states has been transformed by ‘globalization‘. This book considers the implications of these challenges for European welfare s

Overview: Comprehensive text covering all aspects of the biceps tendon, including anatomy, diagnosis, imaging, and non-operative and operative management.Both arthroscopic and open tenodesis, transfer, and inlaThe biceps tendon is one of the most challenging anatomic structures to completely understand. Its precise role for shoulder function has yet to be completely defined, and pathologic conditions exist at both its proximal and distal ends. In recent years, the biceps labral complex has been recognized as a common cause of shoulder pain among patients. Accurate diagnosis, utilizing both phy

Overview: Presents a global look at research in patient safety related to robot-assisted surgery.Shows how the relationships between some of the key elements of patients safety can ultimately affect the outcome.The introduction of a new technology in a consolidated field has the potential to disrupt usual practices and create a fertile ground for errors. An example is robotic surgery that is now used in most surgical specialties, pushed by technology developers and enthusiastic surgeons. To analyze the potential impact of robotic surgery on patient safety, a consortium of major European Univer

Overview: A PhD thesis of exceptionally high standard.Opens a new field of research for exomoons.Topic with significant impact in outreach to a wider publicCan we detect the moons of extrasolar planets? For two decades, astronomers have made enormous progress in the detection and characterisation of exoplanetary systems but the identification of an "exomoon" is notably absent. .In this thesis, David Kipping shows how transiting planets may be used to infer the presence of exomoons through deviations in the time and duration of the planetary eclipses. A detailed account of the transit model, po

Overview: The conference on The Water Environment: Algal Toxins and Health was held at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, on June 29, 30, July 1, 2, 1980. Its principal objectives were to bring together, for the first time, researchers, public officials and interested parties in order to present and discuss what is known about algal toxins. The conference concentrated almost exclusively on toxins and toxic blooms of blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria). Since the most common Cyanobacteria bloom forming species are also the ones most likely to produce toxins, they are a problem in the mainten

Overview: Offers an explanation through developing a theory of great-power persistence.Concludes the vast network of overseas U.S. military bases and troops.Represents an ideal test case for these mechanisms.Why is it so difficult for a great power or a hegemon to retrench its overseas military power? Specifically, why are U.S. military bases and troops still largely where they were five years ago, twenty years ago, or even seventy years ago? Through developing a theory of great-power persistence, this book offers an explanation. Closely aligned with neoclassical realism, the theory argues tha

Overview: Serotonin (5-HT) was isolated and chemically characterized nearly four decades ago, and is now generally accepted to function as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulatory agent. Early research focused on the measurement of concentrations, synthesis, and metabolism of 5-HT, and only recently has the focus shifted to characterization of 5-HT receptors. Gaddum and Picarelli first sug­ gested in 1957 that the effect of 5-HT in the guinea pig ileum is mediated by two pharmacologically distinguishable receptors; however, the possibility of dual5-HT receptors was not explored systematically or

Overview: Examines the mechanisms, policies, strategies and actors that are involved in mobilizing, recruiting and placing migrant care workers from poorer countries in private households and long-term care serThis book focuses on the emerging global old age care industry developing as a response to tackle the “old age care crisis” in richer countries. In this global industry, multiple actors are involved in recruiting, skilling and placing migrant care workers in different spheres of the receiving country‘s old age care system. This book delves into the analysis of these actors and the multip

Overview: This book explores the thesis that civic cynicism in African countries is a major obstacle to the consolidation of democracy, and that the African press should address the problem not just among leaders, but also among the general populace.978-1-349-53897-3978-0-230-61049-1Series ISSN 2945-6118 Series E-ISSN 2945-6126
