Grief and Bereavement in the Adult Palliative Care Setting
E. Alessandra Strada
Oxford University Press Inc
2013
nidottu
For patients and family caregivers the journey through illness and transitions of care is characterized by a series of progressive physical and emotional losses. Grief reactions represent the natural response to those losses. Grief is defined by a constellation of physical, cognitive, emotional and spiritual manifestations, varying in length and severity. While grief reactions are common and expected responses to loss, they have the potential to cause significant suffering. And, while grief is not a disease, it can develop into a pathological process warranting specialized treatment. Additionally, some aspects of grief overlap with the symptoms of clinical depression and anxiety, making diagnosis difficult. Grief and Bereavement in the Adult Palliative Care Setting provides practical, evidence-based, and clinically effective approaches to understanding the multifaceted nature of grief and bereavement in patients with advanced illness and their caregivers. This handbook is an ideal tool for palliative care providers of various disciplines who provide direct clinical services to patients and family members. It assists clinicians in recognizing and identifying grief reactions as unique expressions of patients and caregivers' history and psychological functioning. Primary care physicians who provide care to patients and families will also find this practical assessment and treatment guide helpful. They will learn how to best support bereaved patients and caregivers when grief is uncomplicated, and when to choose more active interventions that may include appropriate referrals to mental health professionals.
Palliative Psychology provides unique and comprehensive training for psychologists specializing in palliative and end of life care. Chapters explore the complex, psychological needs of patients and family caregivers, as well as the knowledge, skills, and attitudes psychologists need to work effectively in an interdisciplinary palliative care setting. Psychologists will learn how to combine a therapeutic presence with the ability to provide patient- and family-centered, evidence-based assessment and interventions throughout the trajectory of illness. Focus points and numerous real case discussions complement each chapter. Palliative Psychology also addresses crucial professional issues, including communication and collaboration with health care providers and work stress. The text discusses how psychologists can best communicate the results of assessments and treatment goals to other care providers in order to better advocate for patients and family caregivers. It also highlights the important role of psychologists in helping other clinicians recognize and address work stress. Insightful and practical suggestions for professional self-care will help psychologists manage the emotional intensity of palliative care and enhance their work with patients and caregivers.

MATLAB® for Chemometricians, Volume 33 provides a complete introduction to the topic of MATLAB programming. Written by, and for, chemometricians, the book presents a very practical and task-oriented introduction on how to use MATLAB. Programming tips are contextualized within specific chemometric objectives, and each practical section is accompanied by theoretical background that describes the basic chemometrics concepts behind the algorithms for deeper understanding. The book starts from scratch (i.e., descriptions of the basic MATLAB layout and how to perform the most elementary algebraic operations) and leads readers through increasingly demanding tasks. Programming tricks are introduced when discussing specific problems in a concrete manner. Readers will not only be able to use existing chemometric toolboxes, but also to write and develop their own, even with the possibility of building graphical user interfaces.
Adaptive Designs for Sequential Treatment Allocation

Adaptive Designs for Sequential Treatment Allocation presents a rigorous theoretical treatment of the results and mathematical foundation of adaptive design theory. The book focuses on designing sequential randomized experiments to compare two or more treatments incorporating information accrued along the way. The authors first introduce the terminology and statistical models most commonly used in comparative experiments. They then illustrate biased coin and urn designs that only take into account past treatment allocations as well as designs that use past data, such as sequential maximum likelihood and various types of doubly adaptive designs. The book also covers multipurpose adaptive experiments involving utilitarian choices and ethical issues. It ends with adaptive methods that include covariates in the design. The appendices present basic tools of optimal design theory and address Bayesian adaptive designs.This book helps readers fully understand the theoretical properties behind various adaptive designs. Readers are then equipped to choose the best design for their experiment.
The Economics of Values-Based Organisations

This book looks at the governance of values-based organizations (VBOs), which are organizations with a mission and identity based on ideals. Examples of VBOs include non-profit organizations, charities, NGOs, environmental, educational or cultural organizations, and social enterprises. The main objective of any VBO is to evolve and grow without losing its identity, which its survival is linked to in the medium and long terms.The focus of this book is the study of the relational and motivational dynamics during identity crisis, using critical mass models and Hirschman’s "exit and voice" framework.This book analyses the dynamics that arise in VBOs when the quality of the ideal deteriorates. On the basis of Hirschman’s "exit and voice" model, it analyses the factors that lead the best members – the intrinsically motivated ones who care most about the mission and ideals of the organization – to leave if their voice is ignored. We show that the possible cumulative effects caused by the "exit" of intrinsically motivated members can lead the organization to a process of deterioration.This book offers an analysis of these phenomena, which are usually studied in sociology or political science, by using an economic approach and the language of evolutionary game theory. By combining sociological politics and economics as a theoretical tool, we create a fresh approach to explore crises in organizations.
Reverse Engineering of Object Oriented Code

During maintenance of a software system, not all questions can be answered directly by resorting to otherwise reliable and accurate source code. Reverse engineering aims at extracting abstract, goal-oriented views of the system, able to summarize relevant properties of the program's computations. Reverse Engineering of Object-Oriented Code provides a comprehensive overview of several techniques that have been recently investigated in the field of reverse engineering. The book describes the algorithms involved in recovering UML diagrams from the code and the techniques that can be adopted for their visualization. This is important because the UML has become the standard for representing design diagrams in object-oriented development. A state-of-the-art exposition on how to design object-oriented code and accompanying algorithms that can be reverse engineered for greater flexibility in future code maintenance and alteration. Essential object-oriented concepts and programming methods for software engineers and researchers.

The Postcolonial Museum

CRC Press Inc
2017
nidottu
This book examines how we can conceive of a ’postcolonial museum’ in the contemporary epoch of mass migrations, the internet and digital technologies. The authors consider the museum space, practices and institutions in the light of repressed histories, sounds, voices, images, memories, bodies, expression and cultures. Focusing on the transformation of museums as cultural spaces, rather than physical places, is to propose a living archive formed through creation, participation, production and innovation. The aim is to propose a critical assessment of the museum in the light of those transcultural and global migratory movements that challenge the historical and traditional frames of Occidental thought. This involves a search for new strategies and critical approaches in the fields of museum and heritage studies which will renew and extend understandings of European citizenship and result in an inevitable re-evaluation of the concept of ’modernity’ in a so-called globalised and multicultural world.

This diagnostic manual provides a uniform and unique function-based classification system for categorizing problem behaviors in schools. Written by the author of the bestselling textbook on functional behavioral assessment (FBA), the Cipani Behavioral Classification System (BCS) contained in this manual provides an invaluable alternative to the idiosyncratic descriptions of problem behavior functions currently employed in FBA reports. Instead, it provides the reader with a standardized classification system for selecting the hypothesized function of problem behaviors. For each of 13 distinct functions in the Cipani BCS, there is a general description, explanation, and illustrative example of the category. Behavioral Classification System for Problem Behaviors in Schools contains: A comprehensive delineation of the 13 categories in the Cipani Behavioral Classification System (BCS) for classifying the function of problem behaviors in schools, providing a standardized mechanism for diagnosing the function of problem behavior for FBAs A straightforward path from diagnostic category to the selection of effective functional treatments Practice cases to facilitate user's understanding of how to diagnose the function and its respective classification category Examples of validation test procedures for specific functions along with hypothetical data Sample written material for FBA reports and individual education plans (IEPs) that serve as models for readers when doing similar exercises A model for writing FBAs in a more precise way with respect to the motivational condition "driving" the function Instructor's resources including test material, PowerPoint Slides, and a student certificate of competence are available to qualified adopters Ideal as a supplement in school psychology and special education courses, school psychologists and other personnel who conduct FBAs will also appreciate this book’s unique classification system, especially when conducting assessment activities and report writing.
Based on Alessandra's renowned video training program, this guidebook tells how to focus on helping, not winning; use relationship strategies to make the sale; eliminate tension in the sales process; and more. Charts and tables.

Urban Sustainability in the Making
Enza Lissandrello; Alessandra Badami
TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
This book explores how urban sustainability is negotiated and enacted through planning practices, narratives, and institutional change. It does so through the case of Aalborg, to illustrate transitions that are shaped by urgency, legitimation and implementation. It offers a theoretically grounded and empirically nuanced account of how urban sustainability emerges through situated, negotiated, and contested processes of transition. The book provides critical insight into the governance arrangements, planning rationalities, and institutional innovations that shape sustainability in practice, with the city of Aalborg serving as a paradigmatic case. Drawing on four intersecting theoretical traditions – Urban Political Ecology, Just Sustainability, Phronetic Planning, and Urban Sustainability Governance – the book develops the Urban Sustainability Compass, an interpretive framework organised around the logics of urgency, legitimation, and implementation. Through longitudinal analysis, engagement with planning documents, and sustained collaboration with municipal practitioners, the book delivers conceptual depth and methodological guidance for scholars, planners, and policymakers aiming to understand and co-produce context-sensitive, just, and adaptive pathways towards sustainable urban futures. This book is intended for scholars, advanced graduate students, and critically engaged practitioners in the fields of urban planning, sustainability studies, human geography, and environmental governance. It will be of particular interest to those conducting research on urban transitions, planning theory, climate adaptation, and socio-ecological transformation. The volume is especially suited for postgraduate courses and seminars on sustainable urban development, strategic spatial planning, and critical approaches to environmental policy, governance, and justice.
The Creative Response
Cristiano Antonelli; Alessandra Colombelli
Cambridge University Press
2023
pokkari
This Element combines the advances of the economics of knowledge and innovation implementing the Schumpeterian notion of creative response to understand the determinants and the effects of the rate and direction of technological and organizational change and its variance across time and space, firms, and industries. The notion of creative response provides an inclusive framework that enables to highlight the crucial role of knowledge in assessing the rate and direction of technological change and to clarify that no innovation is possible without the generation of new knowledge, while the generation of new knowledge augments the chances of innovation but does not automatically yield the introduction of innovation. Firms thus are faced with several strategic decisions to make the creative response possible. The Element elaborates on the analytical core of the notion of creative response and articulates its implications for economic policy and strategic management.
