Love Affairs of a Bibliomaniac - Eugene Field - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Love Affairs of a Bibliomaniac - Eugene Field - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Reading, reading and reading. In the 21st century, the computer is king and the cell phone is its only competitor. For those who have ever interviewed members of the new generation, the results of not reading books or anything else of a serious nature show through the blank stares of their emptiness. This extraordinary book was published in 1896 and tells the story of a book collector, Eugene Field, who spent his entire life in the pursuit of collecting books. According to the author, collectors may be grouped in three classes: Those who collect from vanity, those who collect for the benefits of learning and those who collect out of veneration and love for books. Mr. Field no doubt never gave a thought to those of us who somehow accumulate books with no idea why or how they ever end up filling the shelves of our domiciles. He could not be expected to fathom the mind of the average ''accumulator'' who wants to toss them in the trash but feels too guilty for unknown reasons to do so. This marvellous book is impossible to put down for it is obviously a work of love about a passion for ideas told by one who knows how to speak to the ages. The book comes with a money-back guarantee -- anyone who doesn''t wish to keep the book can return it no questions asked for a full refund.

Development of the Cognitive Computerized Test Battery for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (CCIID) for the Classification of Athletes with

Development of the Cognitive Computerized Test Battery for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (CCIID) for the Classification of Athletes with

This book presents the relationship between intellectual functioning and sports performance for athletes with intellectual disabilities, as well as a discussion on the Computerised Cognitive test battery for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (CCIID), which was developed for that purpose. A literature review indicated that there is a significant difference between physical performance of athletes with and without intellectual disabilities, but so far, no studies have examined the association between the degree of intellectual functioning and sports performance for athletes with intellectual disabilities. This book investigates this relationship for different sports disciplines and examines the role of adaptive behaviour and different cognitive abilities using a wider range of cognitive information processing tests.

Living with HIV/AIDS - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Living with HIV/AIDS - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The opening chapter of Living with HIV/AIDS: Challenges, Perspectives and Quality of Life is concerned with exploring the implications of living with invisible conditions in both social and professional networks, and how that may impact their overall health and wellbeing. The authors use empirical examples of people living with mental illness and people living with HIV/AIDS to examine how the level of their visible or invisible symptoms played out on their experience of living with such invisible conditions. The goal of the subsequent study is to explore the process of interviewing sero-discordant couples through a participatory action research methodology, as well as the outcome of science-in-action that was developed and formed into social capital by the community of couples living with HIV. The authors also present a theoretical taxonomy on the various themes of microaggressions that people living with HIV/AIDS encounter, including stigmatized language, desexualization and dating/sex-related microaggressions, dehumanization and second-class citizenship, pathology of HIV/AIDS, romanticizing of HIV/AIDS, and criminalization of HIV/AIDS. The final section of this compilation aims to determine the reflexivity of HIV/AIDS survivors and the strategies taken to maintain a good quality of life. The data was collected from information coming from Peer Support Group, People Affected by HIV/AIDS, health workers, Local AIDS Commission and NGOs caring about AIDS using observation, in-depth interview, and documentation methods.

Livable Communities for People with Psychiatric Disabilities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Livable Communities for People with Psychiatric Disabilities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book introduces several programs and guidelines that would help to provide housing, employment, and other services to adults with psychiatric disabilities. This book proposes necessary changes in public policies regarding housing, transportation that is reliable and accessible, environments that are physically accessible and opportunities for participation in social and recreational activities. The intention of such change is to ensure that people with disabilities have all the same opportunities and choices as people without disabilities. There is also another accessibility need for people with psychiatric disabilities: attitudinal barriers which continue to prevent people with psychiatric disabilities from full participation. Thus to ensure full participation in the community by people with psychiatric disabilities, this book expands NCD''s liveable community framework to be fully inclusive. This book consists of public domain documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) - Nancy Lee Jones - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) - Nancy Lee Jones - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) provides funds to states for the education of children with disabilities. It contains detailed requirements for the receipt of these funds, including the core requirement of the provision of a free appropriate public education (FAPE). IDEA was comprehensively revised in 1997 by P. L. 105-17, but Congress has continued to grapple with issues relating to the Act. This book provides an overview of the Act with particular attention paid to issues of recent congressional concern, such as funding and the provision of FAPE for children with disabilities found to have brought a weapon to school.

HUD Housing Programs for Persons with Disabilities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the ability of persons with disabilities to live independently in affordable, accessible housing. This became a prominent issue starting in 1999 as the result of a Supreme Court decision, Olmstead v. L.C., in which the court held that institutionalisation of persons with mental disabilities in lieu of community-based care may constitute discrimination. Shortly after the Olmstead decision, the President announced the New Freedom Initiative, an effort through multiple federal agencies to ensure full participation in society of persons with disabilities. Thus, this book discusses the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)and a number of its programs that provide housing for persons with disabilities in various ways.

Police Guide for Responding to People with Mental Illness - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Police Guide for Responding to People with Mental Illness - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Problem-Specific Guides series summarise knowledge about how police can reduce the harm caused by specific crime and disorder problems. They are guides to prevention and to improving the overall response to incidents, not to investigating offences or handling specific incidents. Problems associated with people with mental illness pose a significant challenge for modern policing. This book begins by describing the problem and reviewing factors that increase the challenges that police face in relation to the mentally ill. It then identifies a series of questions that might help one analyse local policing problems associated with people with mental illness. Finally, it reviews responses to the problems and what we know about them from evaluative research and police practice. It is important to recognise that mental illness is not, in itself, a police problem. Obviously, it is a medical and social services problem. However, a number of the problems caused by or associated with people with mental illness often do become police problems. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Manual Sign Acquisition in Children with Developmental Disabilities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Manual Sign Acquisition in Children with Developmental Disabilities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Manual signs are used worldwide to support the communication and language development of children who have developmental disabilities. This book provides an overview of forty years of research and practice by recognised experts, from a developmental perspective. Uniquely, the book includes contributions on both sign languages and sign systems, linking the two fields of Deaf studies and Augmentative and Alternative Communication which have historically been seen as separate. This text is the most authoritative single text to date on the topic, providing an invaluable resource for speech pathologists, researchers, psychologists and educators. The main sections of the book include: the typical development of sign language and of gesture; literature reviews on sign acquisition in children with disabilities such as Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorders, Llandau Kleffner syndrome and deaf blindness. An important chapter deals with the latest research on sign language impairments in deaf children with developmental language difficulties, or autism spectrum disorders. The third section of the book addresses assessment and intervention, covering vocabulary, sign production difficulties and intelligibility, grammar and multi-signing, and pragmatics and discourse skills. The final two sections are concerned with use of signs in context: in the home, in school, and in different cultures. Throughout, care is taken to ensure that the voices of users are present and vivid, whether these be family members, teaching staff or the children themselves, with an entire chapter given over to an interview with a young adult's reflections on her use of sign since childhood. The book concludes with a call for a multimodal perspective on augmentative communication to be adopted in the future.

Cognitive Impairment in Children with ADHD - Catherine Mollica - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Cognitive Impairment in Children with ADHD - Catherine Mollica - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

There is limited understanding of the problems associated with repeated neuropsychological assessment in children, including the statistics used to guide decisions about cognitive change. Further, clinicians rarely consider change in cognitive function when evaluating treatment response in individual children with ADHD. This is most likely due to a lack of suitable assessment tasks as well as clinicians'' limited awareness of the appropriate statistical techniques for measuring cognitive change in individuals. This book outlines a study investigating the application of a statistically principled decision rule to the cognitive and behavioural measures of individual children with ADHD in order to classify a significant, positive response to medication.

Antidepressants Therapy & Risk of Suicide Among Patients with Major Depressive Disorders - Maurizio Pompili - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc -

Antidepressants Therapy & Risk of Suicide Among Patients with Major Depressive Disorders - Maurizio Pompili - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc -

Most cases of suicide (81%-95%) in the general population involve psychiatric illnesses, nearly half of which (48.5%) are mood disorders. Internationally, the overall average suicide rate has been rising gradually over the past half-century, with increases reported in about half of nations, mainly among men, and moderate decreases found in another half, including in Northern Europe and North America. This book reviews whether the use of antidepressants is associated with benefits in terms of completed or attempted suicide, whether the increasing use of SSRIs is associated with benefits in terms of decreased rates of suicide with the aim of generating evidence-based suggestions for clinicians.

Americans with Disabilities - Johnette Hartnett - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The current picture of long-term services and supports (LTSS) documented by families, policymakers, researchers, and service providers is complex, confusing, and frustrating. It is a ship struggling with the weight of escalating costs and an increasing number of passengers seeking access and safe passage. Services and supports are scattered throughout numerous federal programs, with uncertain points of entry and different rules of eligibility defined by geography, income level, age, and nature and type of disability. There is no comprehensive national policy focused on LTSS that is free from the medical model and institutional bias of long-term care (LTC). However, at the state and local levels, there is a push to move forward: setting new policies, reallocating resources, testing new service delivery approaches, and engaging individuals with disabilities and families in a public dialogue to redesign the ship to support a consumer-responsive system that encourages choices, seeks flexibility in service delivery, invests in public-private colLabouration, and values the role of formal and informal caregivers. None of the highlighted activities can offer a comprehensive roadmap to reform of existing systems. However, each highlighted state or local system focuses a spotlight on innovative thinking, including policies, processes, and methods of administration to help guide the redesign efforts for the future. This book identifies and highlights selected activities at the state and local levels that are leading toward increased access to LTSS with federal and state dollars. A growing number of states are re-evaluating their current systems to identify a range of options for consumers to remain in their own homes or communities rather than be forced into more restrictive environments and skilled nursing facilities. Researchers selected five states to profile and analysed current activities that are in different stages of development toward the goal of comprehensive, person-centred service and support programs.

Coping with Chronic Illness - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Coping with Chronic Illness - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The opening chapter Coping with Chronic Illness takes into account the impact of the diagnosis on the family, both at the time of the communication of the diagnosis, and in the moment of chronicity, the relationships and of the social context, the coping strategies and the representation of the disease. Pain management is a growing concern in pediatric cancer patients as pain can originate from multiple sources and negatively influence long-term children well-being. To gain a better understanding of the pain adjustment processes occurring in young patients, the authors analyze a cohort of 30 children and early adolescents with acute leukemia or lymphoma facing cancer-related pain, focusing on the various coping strategies at different stages of therapy Additionally, the authors discuss strategies for encouraging family coping efforts and resilience. Future research needs to continue to focus on helping children cope with stress and worry related to their conditions and medical procedures. Following this, the collection reviews and analyzes the relationship among sociodemographic and clinical variables, psychological morbidity, self-efficacy for coping, illness perceptions and QoL according to disease stages. The penultimate chapter describes the experience of "continuous" management of adult diabetes at the ASST Spedali Civili of Brescia. Clinical work has confirmed that an integrated approach focused on the recognition of emotions and relational support is a fundamental element in the management of chronicity. The concluding paper explores options for chronic illness management in aged care facilities while highlighting the need for more effective illness prevention and positive lifestyle management programmes in the earlier years of life.

Verification & Monitoring of the Nuclear Agreement with Iran - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Verification & Monitoring of the Nuclear Agreement with Iran - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

In July 2015, multilateral talks with Iran culminated in an agreement called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), through which Iran committed to limits on its nuclear program in exchange for relief from sanctions put in place by the United States and other nations. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), an independent international organization that administers safeguards designed to detect and deter the diversion of nuclear material for nonpeaceful purposes, was requested to verify and monitor Irans implementation of these commitments. The U.S. Department of State coordinates the United States financial and policy relationship with IAEA. This book, which updates the preliminary findings from an interim report released in February 2016 (GAO-16-417), examines the JCPOA commitments that IAEA has been asked to verify and monitor and its authorities to do so; the resources IAEA has identified as necessary to verify and monitor those JCPOA commitments; and potential challenges and mitigating actions IAEA and others have identified with regard to verifying and monitoring the JCPOA.

Syngas Generation from Hydrocarbons & Oxygenates with Structured Catalysts - L Bobrova - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Syngas Generation from Hydrocarbons & Oxygenates with Structured Catalysts - L Bobrova - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Syngas generation by oxidative or steam reforming of hydrocarbons and oxygenates now attracts a lot of attention of researchers in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis and chemical engineering due to its tremendous importance for energy generation and synfuels production. This book reviews results of the long-term research of the international team of scientists aimed at development of efficient processes of syngas generation in structured catalytic reactors. Multiscale integrated optimisation approach is applied throughout of this work including design of nanocomposite active components stable to coking and sintering; developing heat-conducting monolithic substrates comprised of refractory alloys and cermets (honeycomb and microchannel structures, gauzes etc) and procedures of their loading with active components; design and manufacturing of several types of pilot-scale reactors (with the radial or the axial flow direction) equipped with unique liquid fuel evaporation and mixing units and internal heat exchangers. Extended tests of these reactors fed by fuels from C1 to gasoline, mineral and sunflower oil have been carried out with a broad variation of experimental parameters including stability tests up to 1000 h. Performance analysis has been made with a due regard for equilibrium restrictions on the operational parameters. Transient behaviour of the monolith reactor during start-up (ignition) of the methane partial oxidation to synthesis gas was studied and analysed via mathematical modelling based upon detailed elementary step mechanism. This provides required bases for theoretical optimisation of the catalyst bed configuration and process parameters.

Dietary Flavonoids Interfere with Cancer Radiotherapy - Katrin Sak - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Dietary Flavonoids Interfere with Cancer Radiotherapy - Katrin Sak - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

In parallel with the continuous rise of cancer incidence, efficient treatment becomes an increasingly important public health concern. Radiotherapy has remained one of the most important anticancer approaches for clinical management of a variety of human tumours, as at least half of all oncological patients receive this therapy at some stages of their disease. With the hope to attain greater anticancer response, the interest in using natural plant-derived products as complementary treatments to conventional radiotherapy has substantially increased in the recent years. However, the interactions between phytochemicals and ionizing radiation are not always known and can be often unpredictable. Therefore, in this book, the current findings about the combined treatments of malignant cells with radiation and flavonoids, the largest group of human dietary plant polyphenols, are described. These data show that under carefully chosen dosage-schedule regimens, certain flavonoids or their natural mixtures can behave as potent radiosensitizers, augmenting radiotherapeutic efficacy in different preclinical cancer models. Such radio-sensitising action of flavonoids can be achieved through modulation of the redox status and suppression of several cellular survival pathways activated by radiotherapy, ultimately leading to the death of malignant cells. As flavonoids can concurrently protect normal healthy cells from irradiation-induced injury and thereby minimize toxic adverse reactions, use of these plant-derived agents as complementary approach to radiotherapy might open new avenues for enhancement of clinical outcome. Therefore, combining conventional anticancer modalities with conscious intake of flavonoid supplements as adjuvant agents might be an important future strategy to boost the therapeutic success in the treatment of various human malignancies.
