Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the innovative Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm, Quality Through Collaboration: The Future of Rural Health offers a strategy to address the quality challenges in rural communities. Rural America is a vital, diverse component of the American community, representing nearly 20% of the population of the United States. Rural communities are heterogeneous and differ in population density, remoteness from urban areas, and the cultural norms of the regions of which they are a part. As a result, rural communities range in their demographics and environmental, economic, and social characteristics. These differences influence the magnitude and types of health problems these communities face. Quality Through Collaboration: The Future of Rural Health assesses the quality of health care in rural areas and provides a framework for core set of services and essential infrastructure to deliver those services to rural communities. The book recommends: Adopting an integrated approach to addressing both personal and population health needs Establishing a stronger health care quality improvement support structure to assist rural health systems and professionals Enhancing the human resource capacity of health care professionals in rural communities and expanding the preparedness of rural residents to actively engage in improving their health and health care Assuring that rural health care systems are financially stable Investing in an information and communications technology infrastructure It is critical that existing and new resources be deployed strategically, recognizing the need to improve both the quality of individual-level care and the health of rural communities and populations.
Download or read book Ranching Mining and the Human Impact of Natural Resource Development written by Raymond L. Gold and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ranching, Mining, and the Human Impact of Natural Resource Development, Raymond L. Gold observes and reports on people whose lives have been significantly affected by the industrialization of rural communities in the American West. Such community change research is rarely done, so this classic study is invaluable for its real world groundings applicable to a variety of social science theories. The study evolved out of ethnographic research on Western communities done over a full decade.This was the first work of its kind to examine and account for the rise of local citizens' groups on the sense of being a community. Its account of this process covers both ordinarily slow and extraordinarily rapid areas of change in the American West. In this regard it is a contribution to basic social theory, showing clearly the interrelation between small-community and large-society elements of the structure and functioning of community life. No other book brings together the story of social effects of natural resource development projects in the American West.This book shows how to implement a social policy concerning resource development and public agencies. It is intended for people interested in the environment, American society, rural and urban affairs, social impact assessment, and urban structures generally. It is also aimed at industrial and community planners and natural resource development firms.

Download or read book The Rise of the West written by William H. McNeill and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-07-30 with total page 866 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rise of the West, winner of the National Book Award for history in 1964, is famous for its ambitious scope and intellectual rigor. In it, McNeill challenges the Spengler-Toynbee view that a number of separate civilizations pursued essentially independent careers, and argues instead that human cultures interacted at every stage of their history. The author suggests that from the Neolithic beginnings of grain agriculture to the present major social changes in all parts of the world were triggered by new or newly important foreign stimuli, and he presents a persuasive narrative of world history to support this claim. In a retrospective essay titled "The Rise of the West after Twenty-five Years," McNeill shows how his book was shaped by the time and place in which it was written (1954-63). He discusses how historiography subsequently developed and suggests how his portrait of the world's past in The Rise of the West should be revised to reflect these changes. "This is not only the most learned and the most intelligent, it is also the most stimulating and fascinating book that has ever set out to recount and explain the whole history of mankind. . . . To read it is a great experience. It leaves echoes to reverberate, and seeds to germinate in the mind."—H. R. Trevor-Roper, New York Times Book Review

This book was released on 2014-02-20 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Pedagogy - Adult Education, grade: A3, University of Edinburgh, language: English, abstract: The research literature and reports from human resource development practitioners often paint a picture of a Chinese culture of learning that is strongly guided by Confucian philosophy and has led to the firm establishment of an intensely lecture-focused educational environment in which the students are conditioned to be diligent, yet predominantly passive recipients of unquestionable wisdom and masters in the art of rote-learning. Contemporary human resource development concepts are quite contrarily based on a paradigm shift away from this traditional instructor-led approach to the creation of more learner-centred interventions which require the participants to be decisively more pro-active and critical in order to stimulate innovation and foster adaptability. The purpose of the research conducted for this dissertation was firstly to investigate the validity of these two claims by an analysis of the relevant literature and then attempt to answer the question whether a possibly resulting conflict can be identified in the attitudes and expectations of Chinese employees working at a multinational corporation in Northeast China. in order to make a tentative judgment on the general applicability of western HRD interventions, using the unit of analysis as an example. A cross-cultural survey was conducted to compare the characteristic values of Chinese employees in China with those of their non-Chinese counterparts working in Germany. The statistical analysis showed that although Chinese are significantly more open towards contemporary western HRD concepts than they might be expected to be, they clearly feature a preference for instructor-led training and a high degree of cultural conservatism –including a reluctance to criticise peers and trainerswhich might constitute serious obstacles on the path to a successful application of learner-centred methodology. This conclusion was furthermore verified by a qualitative interview conducted with the human resource manager at the unit of analysis. Based on these findings, suggestions to modify concepts and to sensitise trainers and trainees to the cultural implications of creating a novel educational environment are given, so that the benefits of learner-centred interventions can be combined with the preferences and strengths of Chinese learners.
