This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world’s first Northern Lights observatory is the focus of this account about everyday life and epoch-making pioneering of geophysical research on Haldde Mountain in Finnmark, Norway. Inside four walls in extreme weather conditions at 9000 metres above sea level, the residents formed a class-divided mini-society with researchers, assistants, wives and maids. This book provides an insight into eventful years of the last century. Children are born, photographs and measurements of the Northern Lights are taken, the research develops, and important people die. The work conducted on Haldde Mountain resulted in a geophysical institute and weather forecasting services for Northern Norway and was the basis for the foundation of Norway’s most northern university. The book builds on private letters, memoirs and archive material about daily life and research.

Book excerpt: About the Book: "Enlightening Findings of an Entrepreneur Mother: Unschooling" is a groundbreaking book written by an author who shares her experience of unschooling her children. The author, an entrepreneur mother, has successfully embraced unschooling as a way of life and believes that it is the most effective way of educating children. Through her insightful and thought-provoking book, the author shares her journey, struggles, and triumphs in educating her children outside of the traditional school system. This book is an invaluable resource for parents who are looking for alternative educational options for their children and are interested in exploring the unschooling philosophy. It is a must-read for anyone who is curious about how unschooling can transform the way we educate our children. This book is a must-read for parents who are searching for the true meaning of education. The author dives deep into what it means to educate oneself and challenges the current system of rote learning. She questions whether this system is meeting the requirements of life or if it is simply teaching our children how to pursue a career and earn a basic living. Through her personal experiences with unschooling, the author sheds light on how we can provide our children with a more fulfilling and enriching education that goes beyond academic grades and focuses on self-discovery, creativity, and self-directed learning to explore possibilities for life, and not just career centric education. This book is an invitation for parents to rethink their approach to education and explore alternative options that can truly prepare their children for a successful and meaningful life. About the Author: Shraddha Pingale, Jt. Managing Director of Econstruct Design and Build Pvt Ltd and an M.Tech graduate, is a recognized figure in business management and education. A dynamic leader, she's the driving force behind her company, persisting even in challenging situations. Involvement in recruitment processes across India gave Shraddha unique insights into the education system. She realized that true education encompasses more than career-building—it should provide a life purpose and a balanced mix of life skills, soft skills, and hard skills. This revelation led her to un-school her son and establish The Life Engineering Foundation with her husband, Sandeep. The Life Engineering Foundation serves as a support system for parents who value open learning but struggle with time constraints. By providing resources, guidance, and support, the foundation aids parents in customizing their child's educational journey. The foundation's mission is to encourage children to be self-motivated, self-directed, and self-governed, enabling them to choose their own learning path. The vision of The Life Engineering Foundation is to provide a perfect blend of life skills, soft skills, and hard skills to children, promoting health, happiness, determination, personal development, and spiritual growth.
Download or read book Network Meta Analysis for Decision Making written by Sofia Dias and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to network meta-analysis with examples and code In the evaluation of healthcare, rigorous methods of quantitative assessment are necessary to establish which interventions are effective and cost-effective. Often a single study will not provide the answers and it is desirable to synthesise evidence from multiple sources, usually randomised controlled trials. This book takes an approach to evidence synthesis that is specifically intended for decision making when there are two or more treatment alternatives being evaluated, and assumes that the purpose of every synthesis is to answer the question "for this pre-identified population of patients, which treatment is 'best'?" A comprehensive, coherent framework for network meta-analysis (mixed treatment comparisons) is adopted and estimated using Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods implemented in the freely available software WinBUGS. Each chapter contains worked examples, exercises, solutions and code that may be adapted by readers to apply to their own analyses. This book can be used as an introduction to evidence synthesis and network meta-analysis, its key properties and policy implications. Examples and advanced methods are also presented for the more experienced reader. Methods used throughout this book can be applied consistently: model critique and checking for evidence consistency are emphasised. Methods are based on technical support documents produced for NICE Decision Support Unit, which support the NICE Methods of Technology Appraisal. Code presented is also the basis for the code used by the ISPOR Task Force on Indirect Comparisons. Includes extensive carefully worked examples, with thorough explanations of how to set out data for use in WinBUGS and how to interpret the output. Network Meta-Analysis for Decision Making will be of interest to decision makers, medical statisticians, health economists, and anyone involved in Health Technology Assessment including the pharmaceutical industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Nordic literature a remarkable discussion of the northern light appears in Kongespeilet (The King's Mirror) a thirteenth-century Norwegian chronicle. It is described in vivid detail as the following translated excerpts demonstrate: These northern lights have this peculiar nature, that the darker the night is, the brighter they seem, and they always appear at night but never by day, most frequently in the densest darkness and rarely by moonlight. In appearance they resemble a vast flame of fire viewed from a great distance. It also looks as if sharp points were shot from this flame up into the sky; these are of uneven height and in constant motion, now one, now another darting highest; and the light appears to blaze like a living flame. Three different theories for the origin of the northern light were suggested in this book. Numerous naturally occurring heavenly phenomena have been observed and enjoyed as long as the Earth has been inhabited, but hardly any of them has stirred man's imagination, curiosity and fear as much as the northern light. The northern light is certainly one of the most spectacular of nature's phenomena.

This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the meaning of quality of life in care for older persons and introduces the reader to their main concerns when receiving care. Based on qualitative research, it pays particular attention to the needs and requirements of older people, considering their individual family situations, social circumstances, values and lifestyles. Person-centred care is a way of providing nursing care that puts older people and their families at the core of all decisions, seeing each person as an individual, and working together to develop appropriate solutions. Following an introduction to the concept of quality of life in old age, the book reviews essential findings from worldwide research into the experiences of older people with regard to nursing care and the impact of these experiences on their quality of life. It investigates health promotion, care provided in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, and palliative care. Each chapter includes a brief introduction to the respective field of nursing care and the problems it has to deal with, concluding with a discussion of their implications for nursing practice in the respective field of care. In closing, the evidence from qualitative research is discussed in relation to current gerontological theories.
