This book takes a multi-disciplinary approach to increasing our understanding of adaptability within complex environments. It presents work on the importance of cultural adaptability, visualization requirements, and measurement approaches.bAdaptability is becoming a hallmark of effective performance at all levels and types of organizations. As complexity rises within the internal and external environments that organizations operate within it is no longer acceptable to be able to perform well when things go as expected; instead individuals, teams, and organizations must be able to continuously adapt their knowledge and skills in order to remain competitive in environments which are fluid, often ambiguous, and where multiple pathways to goal attainment exist. Thus, this volume takes a multi-disciplinary approach to increasing our understanding of adaptability within complex environments by integrating cutting-edge work done by experts in the field and compiling it in one volume. Specifically, the volume takes a systems approach in that chapters describe the manifestation and antecedents of adaptability at individual, team, and organizational levels. In addition, the volume presents work on the importance of cultural adaptability, visualization requirements, measurement approaches, training strategies, and selection for adaptive performance.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aOccupational & industrial psychology.2bicssc 7aPsychology.2eflch1 aSalas, Eduardo.1 aBurke, C.

This volume reviews employee self-service, e-learning, strategies for implementing eHR, virtual work arrangements and their impact on human resources management. It focuses on the implications of using technology for HRM.bTechnology is rapidly changing the field of human resources management (HRM), and propelling the field in some entirely new directions labeled eHR-electronic human resources. Thus, this volume focuses on technology, eHR, and virtual organizations. Well-known experts in eHR review the trends in the field including employee self-service, e-learning, strategies for implementing eHR, virtual work arrangements and their impact on human resources management. In addition, the volume focuses on the implications of using technology for HRM, and the functional and dysfunctional consequences of using technology to achieve HRM goals (such as privacy and employee customer satisfaction issues). The volume should be especially useful for researchers and practitioners in the fields of HRM and information technology.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aOrganizational theory & behaviour.2bicssc 7aErgonomics.2bicssc 7aBusiness and Management.2eflch1 aKaplan, Michael.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1479-3601/3zProduct website URL03787cam  22003612a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720022001880720015002100820021002252450140002462600055003863000019004413650098004603660075005584400066006335000016006995000052007155051391007675160013021585201077021715380020032486500044032686500031033127000021033438560061033649781849501156UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849501156 :cą75.95  a1849501157 :cą75.95  a0275-4959  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBPx1KBB2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.1042097322210aChanging consumers and changing technology in health care and health care deliveryh[electronic resource] /cEdited by J.J.

This volume deals with a range of topics, from how to design optional use, avoiding misuse, to creating training strategies for automated systems.bWe live in an ever complex, dynamic and technological-based world. A world where industries, businesses and agencies rely ever increasingly on automated systems to maintain efficiency, increase productivity, minimize human error or gain a competitive edge. Moreover, automation is now seen by many organizations as the solution to human performance problems. These organizations continue to invest significant resources to implement automated systems wherever possible and there is no doubt that automation has helped such organizations manage their sophisticated, information-rich environments, where humans have limited capabilities. Therefore, automation has helped to improve industrial and commercial progress to the extent that organizations now depend upon it for their own benefit. However, new and unresolved problems have arisen as more individuals, groups and teams interact with automated systems. Hence, the need and motivation of this volume. The chapters contained in this volume explore some of the key human performance issues facing organizations as they implement or manage automated systems.  Dealing with a range of topics, from how to design optional use, avoiding misuse, to creating training strategies for automated systems, this volume also explores which theories may help us understand automation better and what research needs to be conducted. This publication attempts to illustrate how human performance research on automation can help organizations design better systems and also hopes to motivate more theoretically-based but practically-relevant research in the technological-based world of the 21st century.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHuman-computer interaction.2bicssc 7aAutomatic control engineering.2bicssc 7aComputers and IT.2eflch1 aSalas, Eduardo.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1479-3601/2zProduct website URL02598cam  22003852a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720016002040720015002200820015002351000019002502450084002692600055003533000011004083650098004193660075005174400083005925000016006755000052006915160013007435201264007565380020020206500030020406500039020706500022021097000020021318560061021519781848553057UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxk    |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781848553057 :cą74.95  a1848553056 :cą74.95  a0731-2199  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aKCQ2bicssc 7aMBP2bicssc 7aECO2eflch04a330.012221 aMcCabe, Kevin.10aNeuroeconomicsh[electronic resource] /cKevin McCabe; Edited by Daniel Houser.  aBingley,bEmerald Group Publishing Limited,c2009.  a280 p.  a02b74.95cGBPd00hS 63.79 17.5 74.95 11.16jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2onix-pt  b20090101cIP 20090323jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2UK-WkNB 0aAdvances in health economics and health services research ;vv. 20,x0731-2199  aEbook.

Each volume is devoted to a specific topic. Most volumes consist of between ten and twelve papers, but a few may take the form of monographs by one or more authors. All areas in the field are covered including the production of and demand for health; the demand for medical care services; the financing of these services; the markets for physicians, nurses, dentists, hospitals, and drugs; the economics of substance use; health in developing countries; and, the economics of medical technology. The series is a forum for theoretical and empirical research. The latter employ data both for developing and developed countries. While most studies focus on economic issues, contributions from other social scientists are welcomed.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHealth economics.2bicssc 7aHealth systems & services.2bicssc 7aEconomics.2eflch1 aHouser, Daniel.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0731-2199/20zProduct website URL03625cam  22003492a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720022001880720015002100820018002252450169002432600055004123000019004673650097004863660075005834400066006585000016007245000052007405160013007925202288008055380020030936500044031136500031031577000026031888560061032149781849505567UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849505567 :cą62.95  a184950556X :cą62.95  a0275-4959  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBPx1KBB2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.1097322210aInequalities and disparities in health care and healthh[electronic resource] ;bConcerns of patients, providers and insurers /cEdited by Jennie Jacobs Kronenfeld.  aBingley,bEmerald Group Publishing Limited,c2009.  a344 p. :bill.  a02b62.95cGBPd00hS 53.57 17.5 62.95 9.38jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2onix-pt  b20090101cIP 20090323jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2UK-WkNB 0aResearch in the sociology of health care ;vv. 25,x0275-4959  aEbook.

This volume includes an introductory look at the issue of health care inequalities and disparities. It focuses on issues related to substance abuse, mental health and related concerns.bThis volume deals with the topic of health inequalities and health disparities. The volume is divided into five sections. The first section includes an introductory look at the issue of health care inequalities and disparities and also an introduction to the volume. One of the backdrops to this topic in the United States was The National Healthcare Disparities Report and its focus on the ability of Americans to access health care and variation in the quality of care. Disparities related to socioeconomic status were included, as were disparities linked to race and ethnicity and the report also tried to explore the relationship between race/ethnicity and socioeconomic position, as explained in more detail in the first article in the book. The second article discusses a newer overall approach to issues related to health inequalities and health disparities. The remaining four sections of the book address more specific topics relating to inequalities and disparities. The second section examines racial and ethnic inequalities and disparities. The third section includes articles that address the issue from the perspective of research about health care providers and health care facilities.  The last two sections of the book focus on consumers and topics of health care disparities, with Section 4 focused on issues related to substance abuse, mental health and related concerns. Section 5 includes articles looking at issues of vulnerable women, women with breast cancer and people with colorectal cancer. "Inequalities and Disparities in Health Care and Health" is important reading for medical sociologists and people working in other social science disciplines studying health-related issues. The volume also provides vital information for health services researchers, policy analysts and public health researchers. The chapters focus on the topics of health inequalities and health disparities. The book is essential for medical sociologists and others in social science industries studying health-related issues.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHealth systems & serviceszUSA.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aKronenfeld, Jennie J.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0275-4959/25zProduct website URL05221cam  22003732a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720015002040820012002191000019002312450129002502600055003793000011004343650098004453660075005434400081006185000016006995000052007155050404007675160013011715203474011845380020046586500061046786500023047397000024047628560061047869781849500081UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxk    |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849500081 :cą88.95  a1849500088 :cą88.95  a0363-0951  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aJMM2bicssc 7aPSY2eflch04a1522221 aGrill, Harvey.10aProgress in psychobiology and physiological psychologyh[electronic resource] /cHarvey Grill; Edited by Steven J.

This work reviews the status of the field of circadian neurobiology. It focuses on the mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus system emphasizing inputs to the 'clock', their neurochemical phenotype, and outputs from the 'clock' to behavioral and other effector systems.bFor 31 years, "Progress in Psychobiology and Physiological Psychology" has provided cutting-edge literature to behavioral neuroscience research. Volume 18 includes four original chapters covering a broad range of contemporary topics in behavioral neuroscience. In the first of these, Alan Rosenwasser skillfully reviews the current status of the rapidly developing field of circadian neurobiology. He focuses on the mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus system emphasizing inputs to the 'clock', their neurochemical phenotype, and outputs from the 'clock' to behavioral and other effector systems. Another virtue of this chapter is its integration of current data and organizing principles drawn from the analysis of non-vertebrates species and cellular system. Next, Lori Flanagan-Catos essay focuses on the neuroendocrine controls of female reproductive behavior in the rat. She first reviews research from her own laboratory that utilizes pseudo-rabies viral tract tracing to identify pathways from the VMH through the periaqueductal gray, medullary reticulospinal and terminating on motor neurons in lumbar ventral horn that innervate the female flank muscles.  She then goes on to describe more recent experiments suggesting that estrogen may modulate the synaptic strength of this circuit by controlling dendritic spines on neurons intrinsic to the VMH, as well as those that project to lordosis relevant brain circuitry. The elucidation of these estrogen-induced changes within a defined neural circuit emphasizes why the study of lordosis continues to be one of the best models to investigate hormones and their effects on behavior. The last few years have witnessed unprecedented advances in our understanding of the neurobiological controls of feeding behavior. This period of rapid discovery was ushered in by the identification of leptin as an adiposity hormone that acts in the brain to control food intake and energy expenditure commensurate with fat stores. Since its discovery by Friedman and colleagues in 1995, progress has been swift in identifying the many neurochemical systems in the brain that are regulated by leptin. Almost all of this research has focused on the final common path of ingestion, food consumption during a meal.  However, as Tim Bartness points out in his chapter, the long term regulation of food intake and energy homeostasis is a much richer landscape involving many adaptive changes in food searching strategies and storage. Finally, the development of strategies for unraveling the taste sensory code is at the heart of Alan Spector's contribution. He and his associates employ a research strategy that combines psychophysical analysis of taste-guided behavior with selective gustatory receptive field denervation to investigate the hypothesis that taste nerves innervate functionally specialized populations of taste receptors. Spector reviews a fascinating set of findings from his laboratory and integrates these results with current information on taste receptors, taste systems neuroscience, neural development and recovery of function. Volume 18 is the last volume to be published in this serial.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aPhysiological & neuro-psychology, biopsychology.2bicssc 7aPsychology.2eflch1 aFluharty, Steven J.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0363-0951/18zProduct website URL04023cam  22003852a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720015002040820017002191000022002362450125002582600055003833000019004383650098004573660075005554400059006305000016006895000052007055051352007575160013021095201325021225380020034476500039034676500031035067000021035377000019035588560060035779781849501125UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849501125 :cą67.95  a1849501122 :cą67.95  a1474-8231  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBP2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.10682221 aFottler, Myron D.10aAdvances in health care managementh[electronic resource] /cMyron D.

The three papers in the first general section deal with a range of theoretical issues related to health care management, from complexity science to a theoretical comparison of integrated networks against systems, to how health care management researchers think about the research process. The three papers in the second section address the significant challenges faced by health care managers as they attempt to respond to the increasing impact of managed care. The third section's three papers look at the evolving roles of the health professions, including those of physicians as clinicians and as executives. The four papers in the final section focus on various approaches, from total quality management to use of work groups and transformational leadership, to enhancing health care organizational performance.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHealth systems & services.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aSavage, Grant D.1 aBlair, John D.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1474-8231/2zProduct website URL03037cam  22003972a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720017001880720017002050720015002220820015002371000023002522450135002752600055004103000019004653650098004843660075005824400071006575000016007285000052007445050547007965160013013435201084013565380020024406500035024606500030024956500031025257000023025568560060025799781849501811UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849501811 :cą67.95  a1849501815 :cą67.95  a1479-3555  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMMRP2bicssc 7aMBGR2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a158.722221 aGanster, Daniel C.10aHistorical and current perspectives on stress and healthh[electronic resource] /cDaniel C.

This volume contains papers that deal with home and community based services for the elderly and those who need chronic care. It also provides lessons from countries outside the United States related to the overall themes of chronic care, systems integration and services integration.bThe theme of this volume is chronic care, health care systems and services integration. The volume is divided into three sections. The first section focuses on issues that relate to health care providers. The second section contains papers that deal with home and community based services for the elderly and those who need chronic care. The third section provides lessons from countries outside the United States related to the overall themes of chronic care, systems integration and services integration.  These are themes of growing importance in the US health care system as well as in health care systems in most other developed nations. The aging of populations, already underway, and expected to increase in the coming decades will bring changes and challenges to the health care system. Many of these challenges relate to chronic care needs, since chronic care needs are more important in the elderly than in other population groups, although chronic care problems are not limited to the elderly. Once people reach their 40s and 50s, they begin to develop chronic problems.  Chronic problems often require both more health care services and more complicated health care services, and thus place an emphasis on services integration.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHealth systems & services.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aKronenfeld, Jennie J.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0275-4959/22zProduct website URL03076cam  22003732a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720017001880720015002050820015002201000023002352450144002582600055004023000019004573650098004763660075005744400071006495000016007205000052007365051009007885160013017975200723018105380020025336500035025536500031025887000023026198560060026429781849502382UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849502382 :cą67.95  a1849502382 :cą67.95  a1479-3555  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMMRP2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a158.722221 aPerrewe, Pamela L.10aEmotional and physiological processes and intervention strategiesh[electronic resource] /cPamela L.

This work covers managed care issues and organizational features, special groups of patients and health issues, lessons from other countries, and broader policy concerns and health insurance reform.bThis volume deals with the reorganizing of health care delivery systems: problems of managed care and other models of health care delivery. Issues of how to best organize a health care delivery system are not new, but the amount of interest in this topic in the US (as well as in other countries) has grown in recent decades. Reorganizing health care delivery systems is a concern of many systems of the world, and this volume contains some papers from countries other than the US, although the majority of the papers do relate issues to the US health care delivery system. While most papers relate to structural and organizational factors, the impact of individual patients is not neglected. The volume contains 11 papers, organized into four sections. The sections cover managed care issues and organizational features, special groups of patients and health issues, lessons from other countries, and broader policy concerns and health insurance reform. This book addresses important themes in medical sociology, with papers that range from those with an explicit policy point of view to narrower papers on more specific issues in health care delivery.  It aims to contribute to improving our understanding of these issues and provides a sociological focus for the exploration of them. This should make the volume essential reading for medical sociologists and other social scientists studying health care delivery issues. The information should be also helpful to health services researchers, policy analysts and public health researchers.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHealth systems & services.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aKronenfeld, Jennie J.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0275-4959/21zProduct website URL05553cam  22003972a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720018001880720015002060720015002210820015002361000030002512450153002812600055004343000019004893650098005083660075006064400083006815000016007645000052007805051972008325160013028045202134028175380020049516500052049716500023050236500020050467000028050668560061050949781849503617UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849503617 :cą80.95  a1849503613 :cą80.95  a0731-2199  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aJFFH12bicssc 7aKC2bicssc 7aSOC2eflch04a362.292221 aGrossman, Michael,d1942-10aSubstance useh[electronic resource] ;bIndividual behavior, social interaction, markets and politics /cMichael Grossman; Edited by Bjorn Lindgren.  aBingley,bEmerald Group Publishing Limited,c2009.  a440 p. :bill.  a02b80.95cGBPd00hS 68.89 17.5 80.95 12.06jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2onix-pt  b20090101cIP 20090323jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2UK-WkNB 0aAdvances in health economics and health services research ;vv. 16,x0731-2199  aEbook.

This book covers issues pertaining to individual behavior, social interactions, markets, and politics. It contains fresh estimates of the price sensitivity of alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine, and heroin.bThe economics of substance use and abuse deals with the consumption of goods that share two properties. First, they are addictive in the sense that an increase in past consumption of the good leads to an increase in current consumption. Second, their consumption harms the consumer and others. This second property makes them of interest from policy, legal, and public health perspectives. The tremendous expansion in research in the economics of substance use and abuse since the early 1980s and the presence of many unresolved issues motivate this volume. While most of the papers are by economists, the disciplines of medicine, political science, and psychology are also represented. Any successful attempt to address substance use must adopt an interdisciplinary perspective. The aim of the volume to cover issues pertaining to individual behavior, social interactions, markets, and politics makes this all the more necessary. Some of the twenty papers in the volume contain new estimates of the price sensitivity of alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine, and heroin. Others focus on the effects of consumption on earnings, crime, suicide, and sexually transmitted diseases.  Still others address the roles of psychobiology, social interaction, hyperbolic discounting, and peer effects in shaping decisions with regard to the use of harmfully addictive substances. To a larger or lesser extent, all the papers contain implications for policy-making. A number of papers, however, are more directly concerned with policy-making and with the policy-making environment, including evaluations of the costs and benefits of treatment services for abusers. Readers of this volume should gain a much better understanding of what we know and what we still need to know about the economics of substance use and abuse.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aDrug & substance abuse: social aspects.2bicssc 7aEconomics.2bicssc 7aSociety.2eflch1 aLindgren, Bjorn,d1942-4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0731-2199/16zProduct website URL05310cam  22003972a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720015002040820017002192450134002362500020003702600055003903000019004453650097004643660075005614400059006365000016006955000052007115051594007635160013023575202296023705380020046666500039046866500031047257000048047567000025048047000023048298560060048529781849503570UK-WkNB20100215000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849503570 :cą64.95  a1849503575 :cą64.95  a1474-8231  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBP2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.106822210aInternational health care managementh[electronic resource] /cEdited by Grant T.

This book focuses on such issues as how socio-cultural forces affect the health care experience; how hospital providers function differently under various governance structures; and, how global strategies affect providers and patients.bThis fifth volume of "Advances in Health Care Management" examines international health care management. It consists of 12 papers, one of which serves as an introduction, with the other papers arranged into three sections. The first section on patients and providers focuses on such issues as how socio-cultural forces affect the health care experience; how hospital providers function differently under various governance structures; how global strategies affect providers and patients; and why and how provider organizations should consider integrating within a health delivery system. The second section on policy and management addresses such dilemmas as whether some health care issues are impossible to solve through traditional policy reforms; how international refugees should receive health care; and whether policy reform lessons from other countries can be adapted and applied to transform another country's health system.  The third and final section on performance and management addresses issues such as whether the quality of care can be managed at the hospital level, how human resource management can be benchmarked within and across health care organizations, how health care informatics and telemedicine can improve the continuity of care, and whether different ways of accessing care within health systems can be systemically compared and improved. Authors from Australia, Chile, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, South Africa, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America contributed to this volume. They explore the delivery and organization of care in health systems from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America, encompassing more than 20 countries in their comparisons. The papers included in this volume were only accepted following a rigorous peer review process. Each paper, whether solicited or responding to our open call, went through a double-blind review and revision process. The result is a select collection of outstanding papers.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHealth systems & services.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aSavage, Grant T.,q(Grant Theodore),d1954-1 aChilingerian, Jon A.1 aPowell, Michael F.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1474-8231/5zProduct website URL02952cam  22003732a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720016002040720015002200820017002352450231002522600055004833000011005383650098005493660075006474400066007225000016007885160013008045201527008175380020023446500034023646500039023986500023024376500031024607000026024918560061025179781848558359UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090601e200910uuxxk    |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781848558359 :cą69.95  a184855835X :cą69.95  a0275-4959  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBP2bicssc 7aJHB2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.104222210aSocial sources of disparities in health and health care and linkages to policy, population concerns and providers of careh[electronic resource] /cEdited by Jennie Jacobs Kronenfeld; Series edited by Jennie Jacobs Kronenfeld.  aBingley,bEmerald Group Publishing Limited,c2009.  a339 p.  a02b69.95cGBPd00hS 59.53 17.5 69.95 10.42jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2onix-pt  b20091001cIP 20090930jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2UK-WkNB 0aResearch in the sociology of health care ;vv. 27,x0275-4959  aEbook.

How these influences affect their performance and human interfacing in work environments throughout the world is the subject of cultural ergonomics. In this volume, distinguished scientists explore these cultural influences in relation to significant current concerns of ergonomics and human factors. These include scientific-philosophical considerations, aircraft safety, maritime safety, cross-national training, effective use of the world-wide web, multinational decision making, third-world industrial development, implementation of technology transfer, and the functioning of multicultural teams.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aEthical & social aspects of computing.2bicssc 7aWeb graphics & design.2bicssc 7aComputers and IT.2eflch1 aKaplin, Michael.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1479-3601/4zProduct website URL03607cam  22004212a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720015002040820017002191000022002362450126002582500020003842600055004043000019004593650097004783660075005754400088006505000016007385000052007545050173008065160013009795201946009925380020029386500065029586500022030237000020030457000021030657000019030867000020031058560060031259781849503709UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849503709 :cą64.95  a1849503702 :cą64.95  a1479-3601  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aTRT2bicssc 7aTRA2eflch04a623.74692221 aPringle, Heather.10aHuman factors of remotely operated vehiclesh[electronic resource] /cHeather Pringle [et al.]; Edited by Nancy J.

This book highlights the human factor issues associated with remotely operated vehicles. It displays the human-oriented research and design that speaks to these issues.bThe commonly used terms, 'unmanned' or 'uninhabited', are misleading in the context of remotely operated vehicles. In the case of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), there are many people involved on the ground ranging from those operating the vehicle from a ground control station, to the people coordinating multiple UAVs in an air operations or air traffic control center. The complexity of remote vehicle operations is also often underestimated and seen as a simple navigation task, neglecting the more complex functions associated with remote camera operations, data gathering, and even weapons activity. In addition, trends in the military and civilian sectors involving reduced staffing, increased number of vehicles of control, and integration with other operations are associated with critical human factors issues. For example, the integration of UAVs with manned aircraft in the national airspace poses numerous human factors challenges. In summary, though these vehicles may be unmanned they are not unoperated, unsupervised, or uncontrolled.  The role of the human in these systems is critical and raises a number of human factors research and design issues ranging from multiple vehicle control and adaptive automation to spatial disorientation and synthetic vision. The purpose of this book is to highlight the pressing human factor issues associated with remotely operated vehicles and to showcase some of the state of the art human-oriented research and design that speaks to these issues. In this book the human components of the 'unmanned' system take center stage compared to the vehicle technology that often captures immediate attention.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aIntelligent & automated transport system technology.2bicssc 7aTransport.2eflch1 aCooke, Nancy J.1 aPedersen, Harry.1 aConnor, Olena.1 aSalas, Eduardo.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1479-3601/7zProduct website URL02665cam  22003732a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720017001880720015002050820017002201000021002372450107002582600055003653000011004203650097004313660075005284400059006035000016006625000052006785160013007305201332007435380020020756500036020956500042021316500036021737000022022098560060022319781848556737UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090807e200908uuxxk    gs|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781848556737 :cą59.95  a184855673X :cą59.95  a1474-8231  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aKJMV2bicssc 7aBUS2eflch04a362.10682221 aSavage, Grant D.10aBiennial review of health care managementh[electronic resource] /cGrant D.

This title focuses both on health care workforce management issues, including allied health professionals, nurses, and physicians, and on health care organization management issues.bThis proposed volume will provide state-of-the art reviews of health care management, linking concerns about health care workforce management with health care organization management issues. This meso perspective, linking micro and macro organizational processes, should appeal to health care management researchers and doctoral students. Review articles in this volume will orient new and established scholars about current themes within health care management, as well as emerging themes and divergent views. The authors evaluate these future directions and offer their perspective on the direction or directions that would help build theory and improve the practice of health care management. Specifically, the volume will focus both on health care workforce management issues, including allied health professionals, nurses, and physicians, and on health care organization management issues, ranging from organizational governance and strategy to the globalization of health care organizations.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 0aHealth services administration. 7aManagement of specific areas.2bicssc 7aBusiness and Management.2eflch1 aFottler, Myron D.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1474-8231/8zProduct website URL04573cam  22003732a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720017001880720015002050820017002202450112002372600055003493000011004043650097004153660075005124400059005875000016006465000052006625051714007145160013024285201532024415380020039736500049039936500031040427000048040737000018041218560060041399781846639555UK-WkNB20100215000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxk    |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781846639555 :cą62.95  a1846639557 :cą62.95  a1474-8231  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBPM2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.106822210aPatient safety in health care managementh[electronic resource] /cEdited by Grant T.

The twelve contributions in this volume are divided between four sections: theoretical perspectives on managing patient safety; top management perspectives on patient safety; health information technology perspectives on patient safety; and organizational behavior and change perspectives on patient safety. The issue of patient safety provides a fertile niche for management researchers to test existing theories and develop new ones. For example, the goal of reducing medical errors while maximizing patient health requires not only an awareness of the tenets of evidence-based medicine, but also the managerial theories of human relations, organizational culture, organizational development, organizational learning, organizational structure, quality improvement, and systems thinking. Indeed, these and other managerial theories are drawn upon and applied by the various contributors.  Taken together, the thirty-five authors of this volume demonstrate that the future of patient safety requires healthcare professionals and managers who can successfully engage in multi-faceted projects that are socially and technically complex.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aMedical administration & management.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aSavage, Grant T.,q(Grant Theodore),d1954-1 aFord, Eric W.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1474-8231/7zProduct website URL03822cam  22003852a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720015002040820017002191000021002362450125002572600055003823000011004373650098004483660075005464400059006215000016006805000052006965051655007485160013024035200829024165380020032456500039032656500031033047000019033357000022033548560060033769781849500623UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxk    |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849500623 :cą69.95  a1849500622 :cą69.95  a1474-8231  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBP2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.10682221 aSavage, Grant D.10aAdvances in health care managementh[electronic resource] /cGrant D.

This book explores issues in health care system.bTraditionally in health services research, cost, quality and access to care have been viewed as the three major issues of health care delivery and have been important in the development of health services research as a multidisciplinary way to examine issues in health care and health care delivery. Satisfaction is often viewed as a specialized aspect of access to care. Given the sociological focus of this volume, costs are less of a focus, but access, quality and satisfaction are important sociological aspects of health services delivery concerns and have been for more than 30 years. This volume explores a variety of those issues in today's health care system, with a strong sociological focus. Besides the introductory section of the volume, the other sections of the volume focus on articles that are about patients and special types of care, elderly care issues, issues of access, quality and satisfaction with care from the perspective of foreign health care systems, and these issues in public systems of care.  Some of the specific chapters look at issues of care for Vietnam veterans, patients with myocardial infarctions, and dental care and maternity care, elderly care issues, and what can be learned from explorations of some aspects of the health care systems of Canada and Hungary. "Access, Quality and Satisfaction with Care" is essential reading for medical sociologists and people working in other social science disciplines studying health-related issues. The volume also provides vital information for health services researchers, policy analysts and public health researchers. It looks at health care from a sociological perspective that is more focused on access, quality and satisfaction than cost. The chapters focus on specialized forms of care and specific issues (i.e. Vietnam Veterans, dental and maternity care, elderly care issues, health care systems in different countries, etc.). It is essential for medical sociologists and others in social science industries studying health-related issues.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHealth systems & serviceszUSA.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aKronenfeld, Jennie J.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0275-4959/24zProduct website URL03050cam  22003732a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720015002040820015002191000023002342450120002572600055003773000011004323650097004433660075005404400071006155000016006865000052007025050947007545160013017015200786017145380020025006500050025206500023025707000023025938560060026169781849503990UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxk    |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849503990 :cą64.95  a1849503990 :cą64.95  a1479-3555  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aJMJ2bicssc 7aPSY2eflch04a158.722221 aGanster, Daniel C.10aEmployee health, coping and methodologiesh[electronic resource] /cDaniel C.

It will lead the reader along a journey that shows ramifications to health, politics, and everyday common actions. The book starts out by informing the reader of biological agents and then leads into how organizations and the government should respond in the case that such agents are unleashed. A full understanding of bioterrorism preparedness and response cannot be achieved effectively by considering these phenomena in a vacuum nor informed only by the bioterrorism literature in its current form. The authors identify the key factors that make up the essential pieces of bioterrorism preparedness, attack and response. This volume puts what is normally thought of bioterrorism preparedness issues in their equally important security and terrorist strategy contexts. Here, the editors have sought to bring experts insights on as many of the interlinking factors as possible into one volume. This thematic volume's objectives are to facilitate the readers understanding of the new reality that creates certainty in the uncertainty facing them in the future.  It provides knowledge of Bioterrorism and advances skills of preparedness. It shows ramifications of a terrorist attack and gives the reader a view of possible terrorist attacks. It presents a look into security and terrorist strategy.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aSocial issues & processes.2bicssc 7aSociety.2eflch1 aZapanta, Albert C.1 aBlair, John D.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1474-8231/4zProduct website URL03530cam  22003852a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720017002040720015002210820015002362450120002512600055003713000019004263650098004453660075005434400088006185000016007065000052007225050857007745160013016315201293016445380020029376500047029576500024030046500036030287000020030648560060030849781849500876UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849500876 :cą73.95  a1849500878 :cą73.95  a1479-3601  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aKJU2bicssc 7aTBDG2bicssc 7aBUS2eflch04a620.8222210aAdvances in human performance and cognitive engineering researchh[electronic resource] /cEdited by Eduardo Salas.  aBingley,bEmerald Group Publishing Limited,c2009.  a352 p. :bill.  a02b73.95cGBPd00hS 62.94 17.5 73.95 11.01jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2onix-pt  b20090101cIP 20090323jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2UK-WkNB 0aAdvances in human performance & cognitive engineering research  ;vv. 1,x1479-3601  aEbook.

This work examines the different settings where treatment and diagnosis may take place. It reviews literature in the area and discusses the creative approaches taken by researchers.bResearch on mental health services for children and adolescents has become a vibrant subspecialty within the larger field of mental health services research. This research program experienced a somewhat later start than that focusing on adults, and faces a set of issues and challenges that are both different and in many ways more complex. The served population itself is bounded by infancy and the late teen years, and includes all age groups in between. This developmental spectrum naturally necessitates there being a correspondingly diverse array of mental health services. The disorders experienced by children and adolescents can become apparent in the family, the school, the pediatricians office, the social welfare agency or the courts, and the settings in which services may be provided can include any or all of these, as well as numerous others. Indeed, it has become standard practice in discussing mental health service delivery for this population to emphasize systems of care, although identifying the outlines and boundaries of such systems can itself be a daunting task.  The chapters in this volume singly and collectively reflect the richness and complexity of research in this burgeoning and vitally important area and also highlight the novel conceptual and methodological approaches researchers in this field are taking in tackling its most critical issues. It focuses on the unique challenges related to mental health services for children. It examines the different settings (school, home, community, etc.) where treatment and diagnosis may take place. It reviews literature in the area and discusses the creative approaches taken by researchers.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aMental health services.2bicssc 7aChild welfare.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aFisher, William H.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0192-0812/14zProduct website URL02176cam  22003612a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720017001880720015002050820014002201000023002342450142002572600055003993000011004543650098004653660075005634400047006385000016006855000052007015160013007535200899007665380020016656500024016856500020017097000025017298560060017549781849500913UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxk    |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849500913 :cą80.95  a1849500916 :cą80.95  a1479-3709  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aPSAD2bicssc 7aSCI2eflch04a174.22221 aBittar, E.

Clements argues that, since the 1970s, bioethics has refuted human values in favour of political consensus building. This failure to recognize basic human values in the ethical critique of modern medicine has lead to a dehumanization of the medical system by the field. Clements proceeds to advocate a naturalistic theory of bioethics that reinstates primary human values.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aBio-ethics.2bicssc 7aScience.2eflch1 aClements, Colleen D.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1479-3709/6zProduct website URL04153cam  22003972a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720017001880720015002050820016002201000023002362450148002592600055004073000011004623650097004733660075005704400048006455000016006935000052007095050818007615160013015795201972015925380020035646500024035846500020036087000026036287000022036547000018036768560061036949781849503839UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxk    |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849503839 :cą62.95  a1849503834 :cą62.95  a1479-3709  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aPSAD2bicssc 7aSCI2eflch04a174.9572221 aSiminoff, Laura A.10aEmpirical methods for bioethicsh[electronic resource] ;bA primer /cLaura A.

The effect that bioethics can have on policy decisions and health care delivery demand an enhanced approach to our understanding of such complex issues. This volume opens a window to how empirical social research can be used to illuminate and answer such quandaries and offers a practical resource for those wishing to engage in this type of research. Through a thorough look at both quantitative and qualitative methods utilized in key research investigations in bioethics, the book examines the impact of such investigations on clinical and policy decision-making, scholarship and on the advancement of theory. The varied sociological and anthropological research examples that are presented allow readers to better understand the richness and breadth of such work as well as relevant practical and theoretical approaches.  Last, but not least, the book aims to stimulate further discussion of avenues toward a more solid integration of bioethics and empirical social research and, in that process, further our understanding of the complex bioethical environment surrounding us. This book offers insights into clinical and policy implications of empirical research, enhances understanding of methodologies as applies to bioethics. It is comprehensive - gives a range of examples of empirical bioethics studies, interdisciplinary - geared to a wide audience and a reference source - includes a large number of references.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aBio-ethics.2bicssc 7aScience.2eflch1 aBaker, Robert,d1937-1 aShelton, Wayne N.1 aJacoby, Liva.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1479-3709/11zProduct website URL04058cam  22003852a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720022001880720022002100720015002320820021002472450130002682600055003983000011004533650098004643660075005624400066006375000016007035000052007195051812007715160013025835200850025965380020034466500044034666500044035106500031035547000026035858560061036119781849500845UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxk    |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849500845 :cą80.95  a1849500843 :cą80.95  a0275-4959  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBPx1KBB2bicssc 7aJFFx1KBB2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.1042097322210aHealth, illness and use of careh[electronic resource] ;bThe impact of social factors /cEdited by Jennie Jacobs Kronenfeld.  aBingley,bEmerald Group Publishing Limited,c2009.  a306 p.  a02b80.95cGBPd00hS 68.89 17.5 80.95 12.06jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2onix-pt  b20090101cIP 20090323jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2UK-WkNB 0aResearch in the sociology of health care ;vv. 18,x0275-4959  aEbook.

Reasons for these higher costs include the aging of the population requiring more intensive health care treatments provided in hospitals. This title provides the reader with an insight in the complexity of the issue.bHospitals worldwide command the majority of any countries health care budget. Reasons for these higher costs include the aging of the population requiring more intensive health care treatments provided in hospitals, the relatively high costs of labor in this labor intensive industry and payment systems that may encourage inefficient behavior on the part of hospital managers and physicians. Governments are seeking to instruments to mitigate this cost rise. Liberalizing hospital markets, deregulation, changing budget systems and changing ownership are only a few examples of attempts to make hospitals more efficient. Hospital industry responds in various ways to changing market conditions and legislation. In most western hospital markets we observe hospital consolidation, acquisitions, mergers and the founding of several types of network and hospital associations. The question is whether this trend also contributes to more efficiency. In this volume a number of outstanding internationally known scholars in the field of productivity measurement and health economics provide the reader with an excellent insight in the complexity of the issue.  They explain that there is no straightforward panacea or recipe for the issues addressed. It is shown that the composition of the demand for care, the economic context, environmental and geographical conditions affect the outcomes. Policymakers should therefore take these nuances into account. A policy of increasing productivity starts with knowledge and insights in the complexity of the issue. The book therefore advocates the development of a strategy of collecting relevant data and conducting academic research that meet the standard of the state of the art. The book provides two illustrative examples of such a strategy in Finland and Australia. The authors have avoided as much as possible the technical jargon and complex mathematics and statistics involved in this research area. Therefore the book is par excellence suitable for policymakers and hospital managers, as well as for graduate students of health economics and health administration. It avoids, as much as possible, technical jargon and complex mathematics and statistics. It has international in scope.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aEconomic history.2bicssc 7aEconomics.2eflch1 aValdmanis, Vivian.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0731-2199/18uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0731-2199/21zProduct website URL04491cam  22003852a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720023001880720015002110820016002261000023002422450146002652600055004113000019004663650097004853660075005824400047006575000016007045000052007205051398007725160013021705201747021835380020039306500031039506500020039817000022040017000022040238560060040459781849503433UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849503433 :cą64.95  a1849503435 :cą64.95  a1479-3709  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aPSADx1FPJ2bicssc 7aSCI2eflch04a174.9572221 aBittar, E.

More recently Japanese researchers have realized the growing necessity to evaluate Bioethics more objectively. The principles and policies concerning Bioethics differ between countries. In particular, considerable discrepancies have been occurring between Japanese medical practices and the principles of Bioethics originally imported from America. This has lead to the need for a close investigation into the Japanese approach to Bioethics. Despite this however, there are currently only a few researchers studying the Japanese approach to Bioethics. This interdisciplinary anthology uniquely provides a significant examination of the Bioethics from Japan by considering Japanese views from various aspects, such as life and death, dignity, family and care. The authors of this volume believe that in establishing their own approach to Bioethics each country will increase the practicality of this discipline and, by doing so, will aid the search for the universal elements in Bioethics.  The members of the Kumamoto University Bioethics Research Group have published a number of books on Bioethics in Japan over the past decade and in doing so have been preparing for the production of this anthology. The contributors of this volume are both current and former faculty members at Kumamoto University; a well-known institute for Minamata Disease and the volume contains essays written specifically in relation to this area of research.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aBio-ethicszJapan.2bicssc 7aScience.2eflch1 aShelton, Wayne N.1 aTakahashi, Takao.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1479-3709/8zProduct website URL04364cam  22003852a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720015002040820017002191000019002362450125002552600055003803000019004353650097004543660075005514400059006265000016006855000052007015051717007535160013024705201302024835380020037856500039038056500031038447000022038757000021038978560060039189781849501767UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849501767 :cą64.95  a1849501769 :cą64.95  a1474-8231  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBP2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.10682221 aBlair, John D.10aAdvances in health care managementh[electronic resource] /cJohn D.

Patients who suffer organ failure can now often have their lives greatly improved both in terms of quality and quantity of years. The success of transplantation techniques has created an enormous demand for donor organs. Unfortunately, donor organs are in short supply, relative to the number of patients who could greatly benefit from them. Therefore, donor organs are a scarce and valuable resource that must be thoughtfully and fairly allocated among waiting patients. Not surprisingly, this situation raises many pressing ethical questions, each requiring careful consideration. This volume presents a systematic and balanced treatment of some of the most pressing ethical questions including: what is our ethical obligation to become organ donors and who should be allowed to donate? to what extent can markets facilitate the fair allocation of organs and how should we most fairly determine who should be recipients? how do we determine death when the donor is not brain dead? should non-human donor organs be used to save human lives and should we use organs from anencephalic infants and tissue from embryos?  and what is the role of the news media in covering stories about organ transplantation? Many of the leading authorities in medical ethics come together in this volume to develop extensive analyses and arguments. The reader is provided with a sound understanding of the ethical, as well as many of the broader issues in organ donation and transplantation.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aMedical ethics & professional conduct.2bicssc 7aTransplant surgery.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aEdwards, Rem B.1 aBittar, E.

How best to do this remains an open question however, and has captured the attention of researchers from a broad range of disciplines, from rehabilitation research to labor economics. This volume provides a sense of this diversity and an overview of research perspectives in this critically important area. Included are chapters discussing important new theoretical frameworks, issues in the evaluation of programmatic efforts to enhance employment opportunities, and discussions grounded in large scale social and economic perspectives.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aCare of the mentally ill.2bicssc 7aSociety.2eflch1 aFisher, William H.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0192-0812/13zProduct website URL03670cam  22003732a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720022001880720015002100820018002251000023002432450151002662600055004173000009004723650097004813660075005784400083006535000016007365000052007525160013008045202279008175380020030966500044031166500031031607000022031917000022032138560061032359781848551817UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781848551817 :cą59.99  a1848551819 :cą59.99  a0731-2199  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBPx1KBB2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.109732221 aSasso, Anthony Lo.10aBeyond health insuranceh[electronic resource] ;bPublic policy to improve health /cAnthony Lo Sasso, Lorens Helmchen; Edited by Robert Kaestner.  aBingley,bEmerald Group Publishing Limited,c2009.  bill.  a02b59.99cGBPd00hS 51.06 17.5 59.99 8.93jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2onix-pt  b20090101cIP 20090323jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2UK-WkNB 0aAdvances in health economics and health services research ;vv. 19,x0731-2199  aEbook.

While tackling the problem of the uninsured might improve access to and utilization of health care, it would likely have little effect on the health of the population, as there is only a weak connection between health insurance coverage and health. Expanding health insurance coverage alone is unlikely to significantly improve the health of the population or narrow health disparities within the population, given that many of the major causes of poor health such as smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity are largely unaffected by health insurance.  The narrow focus on the uninsured in the health policy debate comes at the expense of other policies that could improve health faster and more significantly for every dollar spent. It is well known that the United States spends approximately twice as much per capita on health care as most other developed nations, but that there is little difference in population health between the United States and other developed nations.  This suggests that we are on the 'flat part of the curve' of health care spending with respect to health and as a result need to pursue other approaches for improving population health. In light of the imbalance in the health policy debate in the US, in November 2007, the Institute of Government and Public Affairs and the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois sponsored a conference entitled, Beyond Health Insurance: Public Policy to Improve Health. The purpose of the conference was to make available to the public new research on policies that can significantly improve the health of the US population. The conference focused on four areas: reducing racial and ethnic health disparities, preventing disease and promoting health, developing and regulating pharmaceuticals, and improving consumer information.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHealth systems & serviceszUSA.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aHelmchen, Lorens.1 aKaestner, Robert.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0731-2199/19zProduct website URL02625cam  22004332a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720017001880720017002050720015002220820017002371000020002542450127002742500020004012600055004213000019004763650097004953660075005924400047006675000016007145000052007305050199007825160013009815200917009945380020019116500051019316500047019826500031020297000026020607000025020867000020021118560060021319781849504126UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849504126 :cą62.95  a1849504121 :cą62.95  a1479-3709  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBDC2bicssc 7aMBNS2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a174.29442221 aPhilpott, Sean.10aEthics and epidemicsh[electronic resource] /cSean Philpott, Robert Baker, Martin A.

However, until now we know only little about the processes that reduce and reverse the effects of the stress process. This volume aims at filling this gap in the literature by focusing on processes related to recovery and unwinding from job stress. The book integrates various perspectives on the topic. The chapters demonstrate that recovery research is a very promising approach for understanding the processes of job stress and relieve from job stress more fully. Moreover, the chapters illustrate that recovery is a very important topic for practical job-stress interventions that have the potential to reduce the negative impact of job stress for employee health and well-being.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aCoping with stress.2bicssc 7aOccupational / industrial health & safety.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aGanster, Daniel C.1 aPerrewe, Pamela L.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1479-3555/7zProduct website URL05090cam  22004092a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720016002040720016002200720015002360820016002512450116002672600055003833000019004383650098004573660075005554400066006305000016006965000052007125051476007645160013022405202190022535380020044436500027044636500039044906500049045296500020045787000021045988560061046199781849501729UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849501729 :cą67.95  a1849501726 :cą67.95  a0275-4959  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aJFS2bicssc 7aMBP2bicssc 7aMBN2bicssc 7aSOC2eflch04a306.46122210aSocial inequalities, health and health care deliveryh[electronic resource] /cIntroduction by J.J.

This volume deals with complex understandings of macro system issues, the impact of the patient and individual factors on health and health care and the impact of the provider and interaction between providers and patients.bResearch on social inequalities has a very long tradition in sociological research, and discussion of the impact of social inequalities on health and health care delivery has long been one of the more important topics covered by medical sociologists. The research presented in this volume varies in its coverage and its approach to issues of social inequality in health and health care delivery. This volume includes both theoretical and quantitative papers, and deals with complex understandings of macro system issues, the impact of the patient and individual factors on health and health care and the impact of the provider and interaction between providers and patients. The first section focuses on macro system issues and includes both theoretical approaches to the topic and quantitative approaches. The second section includes articles with a greater focus on patient characteristics. These articles vary greatly in their coverage, with some focusing on the US as a whole, and others on specific sections of the US or subgroups within the population such as African American women or the elderly.  The third section focuses on providers and issues of social inequality and health care delivery. These papers examine issues of gender, race and poverty as examples of sources of inequality in modern societies. In contrast to the second section these papers pay more attention to individual factors and the focus of the chapters is on aspects of health care providers. Research on providers of care is another long, important research tradition within medical sociology. "Social Inequalities, Health and Health Care Delivery" should be useful reading for medical sociologists and people working in other social science disciplines studying health-related issues. The volume also provides information for health services researchers, policy analysts and public health researchers.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aSocial groups.2bicssc 7aHealth systems & services.2bicssc 7aPublic health & preventive medicine.2bicssc 7aSociety.2eflch1 aKronenfeld, J.J.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0275-4959/20zProduct website URL03234cam  22003732a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720015002040820017002191000026002362450163002622600055004253000011004803650097004913650125005883660075007133660078007884400066008665000016009325000052009485160013010005201696010135380020027096500039027296500031027688560061027999781848551619UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxk    |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781848551619 :cą64.95  a1848551614 :cą64.95  a0275-4959  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBP2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.10422221 aKronenfeld, Jennie J.10aCare for major health problems and population health concernsh[electronic resource] ;bImpacts on patients, providers and policy /cJennie Jacobs Kronenfeld.  aBingley,bEmerald Group Publishing Limited,c2009.  a200 p.  a02b64.95cGBPd00hS 55.28 17.5 64.95 9.67jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2onix-pt  a02b124.95cUSDd00eLocal taxes may applyhZ 124.95 0.0 124.95 0.00jUSkxxumEmerald Group Publishing Limited2onix-pt  b20090101cIP 20090323jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2UK-WkNB  b20090101cIP 20091126jUSkxxumEmerald Group Publishing Limited2UK-WkNB 0aResearch in the sociology of health care ;vv. 26,x0275-4959  aEbook.

In the first chapter, the topic of population health is reviewed and examined, looking at relationships between social structure, including socioeconomic status, and health. A number of papers examine social, demographic and structural problems, and a wide variety of major health problems including chronic illnesses, mental illness, serious acute health problems, and disabilities that require health care. Some of the specific health problems covered include major chronic health problems such as coronary heart diseases and arthritis, as well as HIV/AIDs and other sexually transmitted diseases, obesity and how to deal with obesity, mental health concerns, poverty, homelessness and health care problems with a focus on urban contexts within the United States. The last two papers in the volume extend the focus to look at more international concerns.

This volume proposes and tests economic explanations for food-consumption choices and obesity. It studies treatments for obesity, specifically bariatric surgery and anti-obesity drugs.bObesity, which has increased in most developed countries in the past few decades, is the result of genetics, environment, and individual choices. Economics is useful for studying the individual choices that lead to obesity, explanations for the recent rise in obesity, the treatment options for obesity, and the costs and consequences of obesity for the individual and society. The papers in this volume, devoted to the economics of obesity, illustrate the wide usefulness of the economic approach. The papers in the first section propose and test economic explanations for food-consumption choices and obesity. In particular, they assess the impact of food quality, access to fast food, food prices, legislation, and other factors on diet, physical activity, and body weight. Treatments for obesity, specifically bariatric surgery and anti-obesity drugs, are studied in the second section of this volume. The third section is devoted to the labor market impacts of obesity; evidence from fifteen countries is presented and evaluated. The fourth and final section calculates the impact of obesity on hospital costs and examines the externalities imposed by obesity through health insurance.  Taken together, the papers in this volume advance the frontier of knowledge about the causes, implications, and consequences of obesity, and validate the usefulness of the economic approach for studying obesity in particular and medical conditions more generally. This book studies obesity from an economic perspective. It proposes economic explanation for food consumption choices, treatment of obesity, and treatment of the condition. It's international in scope, providing evidence from 15 countries.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHealth economics.2bicssc 7aSocial issues & processes.2bicssc 7aEconomics.2eflch1 aGrossman, Michael,d1942-1 aLindgren, Bjorn,d1942-1 aBolin, Kristian.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0731-2199/17zProduct website URL05267cam  22003612a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720015002040820014002192450182002332600055004153000019004703650097004893660075005864400066006615000016007275000052007435052039007955160013028345201881028475380020047286500039047486500031047877000026048188560061048449781849503723UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849503723 :cą64.95  a1849503729 :cą64.95  a0275-4959  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBP2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.122210aHealth care services, racial and ethnic minorities and underserved populationsh[electronic resource] ;bPatient and provider perspectives /cEdited by Jennie Jacobs Kronenfeld.  aBingley,bEmerald Group Publishing Limited,c2009.  a308 p. :bill.  a02b64.95cGBPd00hS 55.28 17.5 64.95 9.67jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2onix-pt  b20090101cIP 20090323jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2UK-WkNB 0aResearch in the sociology of health care ;vv. 23,x0275-4959  aEbook.

It includes papers that discuss treatment disparities and providers of care.bThe theme of this volume is 'Health Care Services, Racial and Ethnic Minorities and Undeserved Populations: Patient and Provider Perspectives'. The volume is divided into five sections. The first section discusses the overall issue of health care disparities and undeserved populations and also provides introductory material about the rest of the volume. The next section focuses on issues that relate to gender. The third section provides papers on some other specific examples of undeserved populations: those with mental health concerns, those with concerns related to emotional well being, the elderly population and sex workers. The fourth section includes papers that discuss treatment disparities and providers of care. The final section includes papers that relate to policy concerns. The topic of health care services and undeserved populations is one of growing importance within the US health care system and one of importance in health care systems across the world. Concern about equity in health care is not new. There is a long tradition in medical sociology of studies of inequities in health status and use of health care services.  Over the past ten to twenty years, there have been many studies that have documented that race and socioeconomic status (SES) influence the use of health care services. Within the US in the past decade, this area of concern is often described as studies of health disparities and this volume is a contribution to that research. This volume examines the issue more broadly, by including some issues in countries besides the US and examining the role of providers in treatment disparities and important policy concerns.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHealth systems & services.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aKronenfeld, Jennie J.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0275-4959/23zProduct website URL06333cam  22004212a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720016002040720015002200820018002352450166002532600055004193000011004743650097004853660075005824400059006575000016007165000052007325051768007845160013025525203070025655380020056356500039056556500048056946500031057427000019057737000022057927000018058147000019058328560060058519781849504270UK-WkNB20100215000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxk    |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849504270 :cą62.95  a184950427X :cą62.95  a1474-8231  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aMBP2bicssc 7aKJM2bicssc 7aHEA2eflch04a362.1068422210aStrategic thinking and entrepreneurial action in the health care industryh[electronic resource] /cEdited by John D.

This title features chapters that focus on the processes of entrepreneurship in the health care environment, with both the similarities and dissimilarities between the health care industry and other contexts.bIncreasingly, there is a need for managers operating in the complex and dynamic health care environment to better understand the competitive nature of the health care industry and the opportunities that potentially exist within it. In response, this sixth volume of "Advances in Health Care Management" is dedicated to strategic thinking and entrepreneurial action in the health care industry. As implied in the title, this volume of eleven independent chapters is arranged in four sections. The first section is composed of three chapters, focusing on the health care industry itself. The first of these serves as an introduction for this volume, with the other two chapters taking an historical and futuristic perspective of the health care industry, respectively. These two chapters serve as solid contextual reference points for which we can position the remaining manuscripts. The second section contains two chapters that more explicitly examine strategic issues within a specified health care context.  The first of these examines strategy and structure fit in a large sample of physician organizations, while the latter studies a single, large medical center to demonstrate the impact culture and human capital have on strategic outcomes. Four chapters make up the third section, which focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship. The first two chapters in this section focus on the processes of entrepreneurship in the health care environment, with both the similarities and dissimilarities between the health care industry and other contexts being discussed. The latter two chapters of the third section, on the other hand, principally demonstrate the activities and implications associated with entrepreneurship, or the lack thereof. Finally, the fourth section contains two chapters that integrate both strategic and entrepreneurial perspectives. One of these chapters creates a typology of new biotechnology ventures; the focus in this chapter is on how such firms exploit opportunities. The final chapter, then, examines strategic corporate entrepreneurship by comprehensively studying one major organization's entry into the health care services marketplace.  Collectively, these multi-faceted chapters help to recognize and address the often elusive phenomenon of successful strategic choice over environmental determinism, which is aided by quality strategic thinking and decisive entrepreneurial actions. In summary, these chapters help to emphasize the importance of these issues to the health care industry and the managers operating within it. It examines the health care and hospital industries and their relation to entrepreneurial action and strategy. It provides 11 valuable chapters for scholars and researchers in sociology and healthcare.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHealth systems & services.2bicssc 7aManagement & management techniques.2bicssc 7aHealth and Fitness.2eflch1 aBlair, John D.1 aFottler, Myron D.1 aFord, Eric W.1 aPayne, G.Tyge.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1474-8231/6zProduct website URL04127cam  22004332a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720018001880720017002060720017002230720016002400720015002560820015002712450139002862600055004253000019004803650098004993660075005974400064006725000016007365000052007525050962008045160013017665201639017795380020034186500041034386500049034796500036035286500027035646500018035917000023036098560061036329781849501835UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849501835 :cą67.95  a1849501831 :cą67.95  a0192-0812  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aJKVQ12bicssc 7aJFFH2bicssc 7aMBPK2bicssc 7aJFS2bicssc 7aCRI2eflch04a364.3822210aCommunity-based interventions for criminal offenders with severe mental illnessh[electronic resource] /cEdited by William H.

Efforts to cope with this problem have taken a number of forms. Some focus on the expansion of existing community mental health treatment and support systems. Other, more recently developed approaches, such as jail diversion programmes and mental health courts, seek to move offenders with mental illness charged with 'low-level' crimes from the criminal justice system to the mental health system. Others target offenders with mental illness who are being released from correctional settings, and attempt to facilitate their re-entry into the community and mental health service system. Whether and to what extent any of these efforts achieve their goals remains a significant question for researchers from a range of disciplines and for actors and stakeholders from various sectors of the mental health and criminal justice systems.  The chapters presented in this volume explore key issues in this area, including the role of mental illness in criminal justice involvement, the effectiveness of psychopharmacologic and traditional community mental health treatment modalities, and the conceptualization and potential efficacy and effectiveness of new community-based approaches for serving offenders with mental illness.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aRehabilitation of offenders.2bicssc 7aIllness & addiction: social aspects.2bicssc 7aMental health services.2bicssc 7aSocial groups.2bicssc 7aCrime.2eflch1 aFisher, William H.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0192-0812/12zProduct website URL03855cam  22003972a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720017001880720015002050820014002201000020002342450146002542600055004003000011004553650097004663660075005634400088006385000016007265000052007425051195007945160013019895201253020025380020032556500038032756500023033137000022033367000020033587000019033788560060033979781849502962UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxk    |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849502962 :cą61.95  a184950296X :cą61.95  a1479-3601  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aJMRN2bicssc 7aPSY2eflch04a153.92221 aTepe, Victoria.10aScience and simulation of human performanceh[electronic resource] /cVictoria Tepe, Darren R Ritzer, Eduardo Salas; Edited by James W.

This volume documents the state of the art and presents a state of the possible individual and small unit human performance research and simulation. Distinguished scientists from within the military, academe, government and private industry consider how best to gather and relate human performance data, and offer specific recommendations to advance the development of models and simulations of individual and small unit behavior. The result is a uniquely interdisciplinary volume that draws upon the knowledge and experience of recognized experts whose insights converge upon problems of common interest and relevance to researchers, analysts, and developers.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aIntelligence & reasoning.2bicssc 7aPsychology.2eflch1 aRitzer, Darren R.1 aSalas, Eduardo.1 aNess, James W.4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/1479-3601/5zProduct website URL02766cam  22003612a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720016002040720015002200820018002352450100002532600055003533000011004083650098004193660075005174400081005925000016006735000052006895160013007415201478007545380020022326500030022526500039022826500022023218560061023439781848556652UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090807e200906uuxxk    gs|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781848556652 :cą69.95  a1848556659 :cą69.95  a0731-2199  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aKCQ2bicssc 7aMBP2bicssc 7aECO2eflch04a362.1068122210aInnovations in health care financing in low and middle income countriesh[electronic resource].  aBingley,bEmerald Group Publishing Limited,c2009.  a360 p.  a02b69.95cGBPd00hS 59.53 17.5 69.95 10.42jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2onix-pt  b20090626cIP 20090807jGBkxxkmPublisher data keyed manually2UK-WkNB 0aAdvances in health economics & health services research ;vv. 21,x0731-2199  aEbook.

Dealing with the various elements of health care financing, this title focuses on both middle- and low-income settings, to represent the experiences of the regions of the developing world.bLow- and middle-income countries face major challenges to their health systems. These include a high burden of communicable disease and an emerging non-communicable disease burden. Coverage of effective services and interventions is inadequate and often constrained by funding availability. At the same time, the international financing environment is changing rapidly, with new funding streams becoming available in part as a response to the challenges of meeting the Millennium Development Goals. These countries have taken a diversity of approaches to health care financing policies and programs to face the old and emerging challenges. This is increasingly accompanied by conceptual and applied research which is contributing to our understanding of how different financing mechanisms can contribute to the overall objectives of a health care system.  The goal of this volume is to assemble the best of this research and synthesize 'best practices' for the benefit of researchers, policy makers and high level administrators, dealing with all elements of health care financing and focusing on both middle- and low-income settings, to represent the experiences of all regions of the developing world.  aPDF: Adobe PDF. 7aHealth economics.2bicssc 7aHealth systems & services.2bicssc 7aEconomics.2eflch4 uwww.emeraldinsight.com/0731-2199/21zProduct website URL02369cam  22003612a 45000010014000000030008000140050017000220070015000390080041000540200028000950200025001230220014001480400026001620720016001880720015002040820015002191000023002342450120002572600055003773000019004323650097004513660075005484400071006235000016006945000052007105160013007625201056007755380020018316500050018516500023019017000023019248560060019479781849505055UK-WkNB20100209000000.0cu||||||||||||090323e200901uuxxka   |s|||||||0|0 eng|d  a9781849505055 :cą62.95  a1849505055 :cą62.95  a1479-3555  aUK-WkNBbengcUK-WkNB 7aJMJ2bicssc 7aPSY2eflch04a158.722221 aGanster, Daniel C.10aExploring the work and non-work interfaceh[electronic resource] /cDaniel C.
