The authors of this report explore a more expansive approach to readiness assessments--one that looks beyond the narrow lens of operational readiness more typical of readiness systems in use in the Department of Defense and considers a broader set of dimensions that could affect readiness outcomes. This more expansive perspective can lead to a better understanding of the root cause of readiness shortfalls.
Health systems everywhere are experiencing rapid change in response to new threats to health, including from lifestyle diseases, risks of pandemic flu, and the global effects of climate change but health inequalities continue to widen. Such developments have profound implications for the future direction of public health policy and practice. The public health system in England offers a wide-ranging, provocative and accessible assessment of challenges confronting a public health system, exploring how its parameters have shifted and what the origins of dilemmas in public health practice are. The book will therefore appeal to public health professionals and students of health policy, potentially engaging them in political and social advocacy.

The Canadian Mountain Assessment provides a first-of-its-kind look at what we know, do not know, and need to know about mountain systems in Canada. The assessment is based on insights from First Nations, Métis, and Inuit knowledges of mountains, as well as findings from an extensive assessment of pertinent academic literature. Its inclusive knowledge co-creation approach brings these multiple forms of evidence together in ways that enhance our collective understanding of mountains in Canada, while also respecting and maintaining the integrity of different knowledge systems.The Canadian Mountain Assessment is a text-based document, but also includes a variety of visual materials as well as access to video recordings of oral knowledges shared by Indigenous individuals from mountain areas in Canada. The assessment is the result of over three years of work, during which time the initiative played an important role in connecting and cultivating relationships between mountain knowledge holders from across Canada. It is the outcome of contributions from more than 80 Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals and contains six chapters:IntroductionMountain EnvironmentsMountains as HomelandsGifts of the MountainsMountains Under PressureDesirable Mountain FuturesBy way of these chapters, the Canadian Mountain Assessment aims to enhance appreciation for the diversity and significance of mountains in Canada, to clarify challenges and opportunities for mountain systems in the country, and to motivate and inform new research, relationships, and actions that support the realization of desirable mountain futures. More broadly, the Canadian Mountain Assessment provides insights into applied reconciliation efforts in a knowledge assessment context and seeks to inspire similar knowledge co-creation efforts in and beyond Canada.

Det gælder psykiatribrugere, sygeplejerskestuderende, sygeplejersker, undervisere og forskere, som sammen er blevet enige om bogens overordnede indhold og struktur, ligesom bogens kapitler er blevet skrevet og redigeret i fællesskab.

Bogen rummer også introduktioner til de vigtigste teorier og modeller inden for psykiatrisk sygepleje, f.eks. peerstøtte, The Tidal Model og Åben Dialog. Psykiatrisk sygepleje er skrevet til alle sygeplejersker, der arbejder med mennesker med psykiske lidelser. Det er en uundværlig grundbog for sygeplejerskestuderende i grunduddannelsen, både i teoretisk og klinisk sammenhæng, og den er oplagt på specialuddannelsen i psykiatrisk sygepleje. Bogen er også yderst relevant for erfarne klinikere og sygeplejersker, som har brug for opdateret viden og indblik i nye tendenser som f.eks. traumebevidst tilgang og resonans.

Bogen beskriver klinisk sygepleje til patienter med akut somatisk sygdom i et sundhedsvidenskabeligt perspektiv. Du får en samlet indføring i akutte kliniske problemstillinger med fokus på sygeplejefaglig observation, analyse og intervention. Der er en grundig introduktion til ABCDE-metoden, og bogen præsenterer metoder og en fagligt argumenteret sygeplejepraksis relateret til akut sygdom. I denne 4. udgave er alle kapitler grundigt gennemgået for at give et opdateret perspektiv på akut sygepleje og integrere de nyeste tendenser. Der er i den forbindelse tilføjet tre nye kapitler: et nyt selvstændigt kapitel om ABCDE-metoden, der giver et klart afsæt for læsningen af bogens øvrige kapitler, et nyt kapitel om akutte smerter samt et nyt kapitel om klinisk ledelse af akutte forløb. Alle bogens kapitler indeholder en case, som viser kompleksiteten i det kliniske felt, og infobokse, der perspektiverer de enkelte emner og ansporer til fordybelse. Desuden afsluttes alle kapitler med refleksionsspørgsmål, som stimulerer til yderligere refleksion og faglig kompetenceudvikling og giver læseren mulighed for at teste sit eget udbytte. Refleksionsspørgsmålene kan med fordel også bruges i studiegruppearbejde. Akut sygepleje henvender sig især til sygeplejestuderende, der arbejder med akut og kompleks sygepleje i både den teoretiske og den kliniske del af uddannelsen. Men bogen kan også være til stor gavn for sygeplejersker, der til daglig arbejder med akutte kliniske problemstillinger. Målet er, at læseren får større indsigt i pleje til den akut syge patient og en bedre faglig evne til at observere, argumentere for og udføre målrettede interventioner.
Settled in the late 1830s and incorporated as Tessville in 1917, Lincolnwood was founded by emigrants from Germany, Luxembourg, Poland, the United Kingdom, and multiple other European countries. From a prairie land, these European arrivals created a small-town rural community filled with greenhouses and restaurants. During Prohibition, Tessville gained an air of infamy as a haven for gambling dens and speakeasies. However, with the election of Mayor Henry A. Proesel in 1931, the village set out to restore its image. Aided by the construction of the Edens Expressway, the area saw a boom in real estate, education, and industry, growing into the Chicago suburb that is today's Lincolnwood. Over the last quarter-century, many families moved to the suburbs, leading to the diverse community that Lincolnwood has become.
