Multi-State Survival Models for Interval-Censored Data

Multi-State Survival Models for Interval-Censored Data

Multi-State Survival Models for Interval-Censored Data introduces methods to describe stochastic processes that consist of transitions between states over time. It is targeted at researchers in medical statistics epidemiology demography and social statistics. One of the applications in the book is a three-state process for dementia and survival in the older population. This process is described by an illness-death model with a dementia-free state a dementia state and a dead state. Statistical modelling of a multi-state process can investigate potential associations between the risk of moving to the next state and variables such as age gender or education. A model can also be used to predict the multi-state process. The methods are for longitudinal data subject to interval censoring. Depending on the definition of a state it is possible that the time of the transition into a state is not observed exactly. However when longitudinal data are available the transition time may be known to lie in the time interval defined by two successive observations. Such an interval-censored observation scheme can be taken into account in the statistical inference. Multi-state modelling is an elegant combination of statistical inference and the theory of stochastic processes. Multi-State Survival Models for Interval-Censored Data shows that the statistical modelling is versatile and allows for a wide range of applications.

Salt Intrusion Tides and Mixing in Multi-Channel Estuaries PhD: UNESCO-IHE Institute Delft

Salt Intrusion Tides and Mixing in Multi-Channel Estuaries PhD: UNESCO-IHE Institute Delft

Multi-channel estuaries such as the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and the Scheldt in the Netherlands have characteristics of both the river and the sea forming a unique environment influenced by tidal movements of the sea and freshwater flow of the river. This study addresses a number of knowledge gaps in multi-channel estuaries by developing a predictive analytical approach for salinity intrusion and discharge estimate in multi-channel estuaries. The new approach agrees well with 1-D hydrodynamic models and observations indicating its applicability in practice. Most importantly the study has successfully developed a new theory and a new equation to quantify tidal pumping due to ebb-flood channel residual circulation and the related salt dispersion. | Salt Intrusion Tides and Mixing in Multi-Channel Estuaries PhD: UNESCO-IHE Institute Delft

Embedded Multi-Level Leadership in Elite Sport

Embedded Multi-Level Leadership in Elite Sport

This book represents an alternative perspective on international elite sport systems. It focusses on the embedded multi-level nature of leadership and the scope that this might give for degrees of leadership autonomy and discretion. The chapters show how mechanisms of leadership on different levels interact. The nature and mix of leadership mechanisms reflect values and expectations related to specific political normative and commercial sport contexts. Three introductory chapters outline key elements of these dimensions of elite sport contexts. Seven empirical cases illustrate how national contexts facilitate and constrain leadership practices related to specific sports across Russia China Ghana Germany Switzerland Denmark Norway and the US. The final chapter discusses embedded multi-level leadership from a comparative perspective. Based on the countries covered the book distinguishes between three groups: state-dominated systems state-elite sport partnership and countries with a passive state with no state intervention. This book is important reading for researchers and students with an interest in sport management sport development sport policy and sport governance as well as for policy-makers performance directors and managers working in elite sport. | Embedded Multi-Level Leadership in Elite Sport

Understanding Globalization A Multi-Dimensional Approach

Understanding Globalization A Multi-Dimensional Approach

This book discusses eight dimensions of globalization world order culture the state information technology economics production development and Bretton Woods Institutions from the perspective of four diverse sociological paradigms: functionalist interpretive radical humanist and radical structuralist. This multi-perspective approach forces readers to abandon their preconcieved assumptions and allows them the opportunity to view globalization through new eyes. Kavous Ardalan argues that social theory can usefully be conceived in terms of these four key paradigms because each one is founded upon different assumptions about the nature of social science and each one generates useful theories concepts and analytical tools. This method facilitates distancing from one's favored paradigm and appreciating other available approaches to better understand social phenomena. The knowledge of paradigms increases awareness of the boundaries and limitations of each individual paradigm. While most books on the topic focus on particular aspects of globalization from specific viewpoints this fair and unbiased volume provides readers with a balanced understanding of globalization. | Understanding Globalization A Multi-Dimensional Approach

Handbook of Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Handbook of Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Of the many issues facing special education (and general education) today it is difficult to imagine one more important or timely than response to intervention (RTI). Almost overnight RTI has become standard practice across the nation. Unfortunately RTI remains ill-defined falls far short of its evidence-based practice goal is almost invariably misused and often results in more harm than good. Nevertheless as a conceptual framework RTI has great potential for ensuring that students with disabilities receive appropriate evidence-based instruction. The mission of this handbook is to present a comprehensive and integrated discussion of response to intervention (RTI) and its relation to multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) in both special education and general education. Although the two terms are currently used interchangeably distinct differences exist between them. Therefore chapters are dedicated to distinguishing the two concepts—RTI and MTSS—and describing each one’s unique role in both general and special education. In addition the authors recommend a third term Multi-Tiered Instruction to differentiate the practices related to the purpose of the specific intervention. | Handbook of Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support
