Urban Life in Kingston Jamaica The Culture and Class Ideology of Two Neighborhoods

Urban Life in Kingston Jamaica The Culture and Class Ideology of Two Neighborhoods

This book first published in 1984 recounts the daily life the politics religion and leisure pursuits of Jamaicans in working- and middle-class Kingston. The study is based upon the author’s observations of life in Selton Town and Vermount two neighborhoods of Kingston between 1971 and 1982. The author analyses the local social conflicts and ideologies thereby demonstrating how larger issues of class domination and cultural hegemony pervade neighbourhood life. The study provides a detailed contextual account of the significance of belonging to different classes. It provides a different perspective of Caribbean anthropology combining the techniques of ethnography and political economy. | Urban Life in Kingston Jamaica The Culture and Class Ideology of Two Neighborhoods

Randomized Phase II Cancer Clinical Trials

Randomized Phase II Cancer Clinical Trials

In cancer research a traditional phase II trial is designed as a single-arm trial that compares the experimental therapy to a historical control. This simple trial design has led to several adverse issues including increased false positivity of phase II trial results and negative phase III trials. To rectify these problems oncologists and biostatisticians have begun to use a randomized phase II trial that compares an experimental therapy with a prospective control therapy. Randomized Phase II Cancer Clinical Trials explains how to properly select and accurately use diverse statistical methods for designing and analyzing phase II trials. The author first reviews the statistical methods for single-arm phase II trials since some methodologies for randomized phase II trials stem from single-arm phase II trials and many phase II cancer clinical trials still use single-arm designs. The book then presents methods for randomized phase II trials and describes statistical methods for both single-arm and randomized phase II trials. Although the text focuses on phase II cancer clinical trials the statistical methods covered can also be used (with minor modifications) in phase II trials for other diseases and in phase III cancer clinical trials. Suitable for cancer clinicians and biostatisticians this book shows how randomized phase II trials with a prospective control resolve the shortcomings of traditional single-arm phase II trials. It provides readers with numerous statistical design and analysis methods for randomized phase II trials in oncology.

Smith: Psychology of Education II (4-vol. set)

Smith: Psychology of Education II (4-vol. set)

This new title in Routledge’s Major Themes in Education series is a four-volume collection of major works of scholarship. It is an essential successor to an earlier Routledge anthology Psychology of Education (978-0-415-19302-3) (2000) edited by Peter K. Smith and Anthony D. Pellegrini. Research in and around psychology and education has experienced dramatic growth in recent years. Psychology of Education (2000) was the first comprehensive collection of the field’s canonical and cutting-edge research and this new collection takes full account of the many important developments that have taken place since its appearance. Psychology of Education II also includes coverage of areas without the scope of the first collection. With a full index together with a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context Psychology of Education II is an indispensable work of reference. | Smith: Psychology of Education II (4-vol. set)

Multidirectional Speed in Sport Research to Application

Multidirectional Speed in Sport Research to Application

During field- and court-based sports players are continually required to perceive their environment within a match and select and perform the most appropriate action to achieve their immediate goal within that match instance. This ability is commonly known as agility considered a vital quality in such sports and may incorporate a variety of locomotion and instantaneous actions. Multidirectional speed is a global term to describe the competency and capacity to perform such actions: accelerate decelerate change direction and ultimately maintain speed in multiple directions and movements within the context of sports-specific scenarios encompassing agility speed and many other related qualities. Multidirectional speed in sport depends on a multitude of factors including perceptual-cognitive abilities physical qualities and the technical ability to perform the previously mentioned actions. Multidirectional Speed in Sport: Research to Application reviews the science of multidirectional speed and translates this information into real-world application in order to provide a resource for practitioners to develop multidirectional speed with athletes bringing together knowledge from a wealth of world-leading researchers and applied practitioners in the area of speed and agility to provide a complete resource to assist practitioners in designing effective multidirectional speed development programmes. This text is critical reading for undergraduate and graduate sports science students all individuals involved in training athletes (e. g. coaches physiotherapists athletic trainers) and researchers in the field of sports science and sports medicine. | Multidirectional Speed in Sport Research to Application

Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Safety-I is defined as the freedom from unacceptable harm. The purpose of traditional safety management is therefore to find ways to ensure this ‘freedom’. But as socio-technical systems steadily have become larger and less tractable this has become harder to do. Resilience engineering pointed out from the very beginning that resilient performance - an organisation’s ability to function as required under expected and unexpected conditions alike – required more than the prevention of incidents and accidents. This developed into a new interpretation of safety (Safety-II) and consequently a new form of safety management. Safety-II changes safety management from protective safety and a focus on how things can go wrong to productive safety and a focus on how things can and do go well. For Safety-II the aim is not just the elimination of hazards and the prevention of failures and malfunctions but also how best to develop an organisation’s potentials for resilient performance – the way it responds monitors learns and anticipates. That requires models and methods that go beyond the Safety-I toolbox. This book introduces a comprehensive approach for the management of Safety-II called the Resilience Assessment Grid (RAG). It explains the principles of the RAG and how it can be used to develop the resilience potentials. The RAG provides four sets of diagnostic and formative questions that can be tailored to any organisation. The questions are based on the principles of resilience engineering and backed by practical experience from several domains. Safety-II in Practice is for both the safety professional and academic reader. For the professional it presents a workable method (RAG) for the management of Safety-II with a proven track record. For academic and student readers the book is a concise and practical presentation of resilience engineering. | Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Strategy Activation Canvas

Strategy Activation Canvas

The Strategy Activation Canvas is the new standard for accelerating strategies – beginning where classical strategies end: with its activation. While many management and business canvases focus on developing a strategy the Strategy Activation Canvas helps leaders and decision-makers to bring strategies to life. This book demonstrates for the first time how entire organizations can be “activated”: how people can not only perceive and implement a new strategy but how entire organizations can be heavily involved in its making how strategies are made visible and experienced and how people can play an active and sustaining role throughout bringing a strategy to life. With their decades of experience in large scale organizations Thiessen and Wreschniok pair their knowledge with case studies from Allianz Baloise E. ON Hamburg Commercial Bank Microsoft NORD/LB Swisscom or Swiss Re organizations led by leaders who have significantly accelerated the success and value of their strategies through strategy activation. This book is an essential resource for managers who have responsibility for strategic initiatives and transformation programs of any kind.
