This book was released on 2016-05-29 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 19, 2014, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop on the topic of the sharing of data from environmental health research. Experts in the field of environmental health agree that there are benefits to sharing research data, but questions remain regarding how to effectively make these data available. The sharing of data derived from human subjects-making them both transparent and accessible to others-raises a host of ethical, scientific, and process questions that are not always present in other areas of science, such as physics, geology, or chemistry. The workshop participants explored key concerns, principles, and obstacles to the responsible sharing of data used in support of environmental health research and policy making while focusing on protecting the privacy of human subjects and addressing the concerns of the research community. Principles and Obstacles for Sharing Data from Environmental Health Research summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Book Synopsis Real-World Evidence Generation and Evaluation of Therapeutics by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Real-World Evidence Generation and Evaluation of Therapeutics written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume and complexity of information about individual patients is greatly increasing with use of electronic records and personal devices. Potential effects on medical product development in the context of this wealth of real-world data could be numerous and varied, ranging from the ability to determine both large-scale and patient-specific effects of treatments to the ability to assess how therapeutics affect patients' lives through measurement of lifestyle changes. In October 2016, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop to facilitate dialogue among stakeholders about the opportunities and challenges for incorporating real-world evidence into all stages in the process for the generation and evaluation of therapeutics. Participants explored unmet stakeholder needs and opportunities to generate new kinds of evidence that meet those needs. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
Download or read book Fandom written by Jonathan Alan Gray and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2007-06 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Babbage is well described as the "pioneer of the computer", but he was far more than this: his mathematic, scientific, and engineering work is highly significant for its original approach to problem-solving while the economic, political, and theological writings show an incisive appreciation of contemporary debate, and justify the growing consensus which judges Babbage to be one of the most important and rigorous intellectual polymaths of his age. This edition contains his two major papers: n essay on the calculus of functions, which established his reputation as a mathematician, and On the economy of machinery manufacturers, which was the first work of its kind to concentrate on the manufacturing industry-a turning point in economic writing. The New York University Press edition includes a comprehensive general introduction in Volume I. Textual notes by leading international experts in the field of Babbage scholarship, such as Professor I. Bernard Cohen, Emeritus Professor of the History of Science, University of Sydney; and Dr. J. A. M. Dubey, Dean of Engineering at the Polytechnic of the South bank, consider the world spectrum of the writings and put the works in context. All new texts are brought together by a comprehensive index providing easy reference to the complete works- a facility which will allow the integration of Babbage scholarship for the first time. In addition to the standard pagination, the original page numbers have been retained to allow access from contemporary sources. there is also a comprehensive bibliography if works cited in the text- an essential reference tool for any serious scholar. The Works are illustrated throughout with the original diagrams, graphs, and line drawings. Volume 3 also contains 15 plates from Babbage's Calculating Engines (1889).
Book Synopsis New Directions in Assessing Performance Potential of Individuals and Groups by : National Research Council
Download or read book New Directions in Assessing Performance Potential of Individuals and Groups written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-09-04 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an all-volunteer service accepting applications from nearly 400,000 potential recruits annually from across the U.S. population, the U.S. military must accurately and efficiently assess the individual capability of each recruit for the purposes of selection, job classification, and unit assignment. New Directions for Assessing Performance Potential of Individuals and Groups is the summary of a workshop held April 3-4, 2013 to examine the future of military entrance assessments. This workshop was a part of the first phase of a larger study that will investigate cutting-edge research into the measurement of both individual capabilities and group composition in order to identify future research directions that may lead to improved assessment and selection of enlisted personnel for the U.S. Army. The workshop brought together scientists from a variety of relevant areas to focus on cognitive and noncognitive attributes that can be used in the initial testing and assignment of enlisted personnel. This report discusses the evolving goals of candidate testing, emerging constructs and theory, and ethical implications of testing methods.
Download or read book Becoming Kin written by Patty Krawec and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We find our way forward by going back. The invented history of the Western world is crumbling fast, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec says, but we can still honor the bonds between us. Settlers dominated and divided, but Indigenous peoples won't just send them all "home." Weaving her own story with the story of her ancestors and with the broader themes of creation, replacement, and disappearance, Krawec helps readers see settler colonialism through the eyes of an Indigenous writer. Settler colonialism tried to force us into one particular way of living, but the old ways of kinship can help us imagine a different future. Krawec asks, What would it look like to remember that we are all related? How might we become better relatives to the land, to one another, and to Indigenous movements for solidarity? Braiding together historical, scientific, and cultural analysis, Indigenous ways of knowing, and the vivid threads of communal memory, Krawec crafts a stunning, forceful call to "unforget" our history. This remarkable sojourn through Native and settler history, myth, identity, and spirituality helps us retrace our steps and pick up what was lost along the way: chances to honor rather than violate treaties, to see the land as a relative rather than a resource, and to unravel the history we have been taught.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Greg Zacharias, former Chief Scientist of the United States Air Force (2015-18), explores next steps in autonomous systems (AS) development, fielding, and training. Rapid advances in AS development and artificial intelligence (AI) research will change how we think about machines, whether they are individual vehicle platforms or networked enterprises. The payoff will be considerable, affording the US military significant protection for aviators, greater effectiveness in employment, and unlimited opportunities for novel and disruptive concepts of operations. Autonomous Horizons: The Way Forward identifies issues and makes recommendations for the Air Force to take full advantage of this transformational technology.
Book Synopsis Africa the Way Forward by : Canice Chucks Osuji
Download or read book Africa the Way Forward written by Canice Chucks Osuji and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was born of the desire to share my feelings and concerns and that of others who are so much concerned about how the continent of Africa has remain dormant for centuries in terms of development and progress. Being an African and having seen the forward movement, progess and development of the other continent around the world, you begin to wonder why it has not been replicated in the Afriican continent. The continent of Africa has great resources more than many other continent in the world, both human and natural resources. However, these resources has not benefited the common people of the continent. The West, Arabs and recently Asia has enjoyed these resources more than Africans themselves. From the slave trade where the carted away our able men and women, to resources control through colonization and recently through brain drain. Our specialists and well qualified has migrated to other continents such as Europe, America and Asia leaving the continent dry in terms of qualified personnel who can man and managed the resources of the continent. These has contributed to poverty lack of quality leadership in many areas that would have moved the continent forward. After world war, America implemented Marshal plan that was used to transform and develop the Western nations. However, this kind of joint policy has not come to the mind of the West to implement in Africa where they have benefited much. Rather the continent of Africa is seen and address as the dark continent. I therefore, feel that bringing to mind of many both Africans and the West, the things we need to address to move Africa forward. I believe that if some of the points looked at in this book and other brilliant ideas by others are implemented, then the continent of Africa can emerge out of its aclaimed darkness and move forward like other continent. Let the world and African leaders learn from the history of the past and invent new ways of doing things so that they can move Africa forward in a progressive path. Strongly I believe if this is done, the Story of the continent of Africa can change like that of China. The West should desist from ripping Africa off, abstain from aiding and abetting corruption and bad leadership in the continent. The people of Africa should fight and resist wicked and corrupt political leaders, and bring to death tribal - nepotic and support of politics of clientism.
Download or read book Choice written by Richard Harper and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We make decisions every day. Yet we are sometimes perplexed by these decisions and the decisions of others. To complicate things further, we live in an age where there are more things to choose from than ever before the Internet is transforming our choices and making us more accountable for them: what we choose is recorded, modelled and used to predict our future behaviour. So are we in a position to make better choices today than we were a decade ago? Certainly there are some who believe so. Psychologists claim we are subject to hidden mental processes that lead us to one thing rather than another; economists offer predictions about what people will buy; and some philosophers claim that our choices echo our evolutionary past. Are these claims merited? Do they reflect the beginnings of a new science of choice? This book offers a critical overview of these and other claims, showing where they are justified and where they are exaggerated. It will be an essential reference for anyone interested in whether science can help us to understand both the ways people make choices in their everyday lives and how these may be changing.
Book Synopsis The Dynamics and Contradictions of Evangelisation in Africa by : Peter Acho Awoh
Download or read book The Dynamics and Contradictions of Evangelisation in Africa written by Peter Acho Awoh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2011 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically discusses missionary Christianity and colonization in Africa as twin enterprises with a common ambition. While the colonialist set out to invest capital and reap profit, the missionary desire was to tend and turn African souls from damnation. It was this desire that drove the missionaries into the interior, propelled by the belief that no land was too remote to escape their attention and vigilance. It equally kept missionary zeal buoyant. The clarification of the concept of salvation within the Roman Catholic Church during the Vatican II Council set in motion the current lethargy that has in some places crippled the mission itself. In retrospect, one can begin to wonder why Africans became Christians. What reasons motivated the early adherents to cling to this foreign religion? Were there some internal deficiencies in African traditional religions, which the Africans hoped to remedy by joining the new religion? Or was it just part of the wholesale flirting with whatever was foreign and perceived to be modern? What baits were used by the missionaries to entice Africans? Christianity posed a danger to many of the time-honoured answers to African problems. These were the 'values' Africans converting to Christianity were expected to abandon. Why have Christians continually returned to their abandoned roots in time of crisis? This moving, well argued, richly documented and empirically substantiated study concludes by cautioning against the stubborn drive at radical conversion to Christianity with scant regard to the imperatives of enculturation.

I need to get away from it all, and a day off in Barcelona seems like the perfect opportunity. I’m blown away when my break from reality presents me with an even better distraction than sunbathing and margaritas, in the form of a very handsome man—who also happens to be a prince!

Imagine my surprise when three months later, he invites me to be the star player for his country’s inaugural volleyball team—just when I thought he’d forgotten all about me!

I could have an amazing salary, take care of my family, and maybe, just maybe, score the man of my dreams. The thing is, the repo man doesn’t care that I’m a hair’s breadth from having everything I ever wanted, and in a moment of desperation, I might have thrown it all away. Can I get David to see the truth and forgive me, or will it be too late?

Download or read book Stepping Forward written by Richard C. Harwood and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hope We Share How do we bring people together when our society is breaking apart? What will it take to bridge our divides, overcome mistrust, and restore our belief that we can get things done together as Americans? How do we bring out the best in us? In Stepping Forward, Richard C. Harwood gives us a new and inspiring blueprint to rediscover what we share in common and actively build upon it. As a trusted civic voice, he argues that to get the country moving in the right direction, these efforts must start in our local communities. Harwood shows us how we can reach within and beyond ourselves to address our shared challenges and create more purpose and meaning in our lives by— • Being a part of something larger than ourselves and truly making a difference in our communities • Refocusing on the desire for good in each other • Unleashing a greater sense of shared responsibility • Finding the courage and humility to take such a path Americans are yearning for answers to the country’s rampant polarization, hate speech, and gridlock. Stepping Forward shows us how to channel our frustrations, energies, and aspirations to get on a more hopeful path.
