Download or read book Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to see deeply affects how human beings perceive and interpret the world around them. For most people, eyesight is part of everyday communication, social activities, educational and professional pursuits, the care of others, and the maintenance of personal health, independence, and mobility. Functioning eyes and vision system can reduce an adult's risk of chronic health conditions, death, falls and injuries, social isolation, depression, and other psychological problems. In children, properly maintained eye and vision health contributes to a child's social development, academic achievement, and better health across the lifespan. The public generally recognizes its reliance on sight and fears its loss, but emphasis on eye and vision health, in general, has not been integrated into daily life to the same extent as other health promotion activities, such as teeth brushing; hand washing; physical and mental exercise; and various injury prevention behaviors. A larger population health approach is needed to engage a wide range of stakeholders in coordinated efforts that can sustain the scope of behavior change. The shaping of socioeconomic environments can eventually lead to new social norms that promote eye and vision health. Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative: Vision for Tomorrow proposes a new population-centered framework to guide action and coordination among various, and sometimes competing, stakeholders in pursuit of improved eye and vision health and health equity in the United States. Building on the momentum of previous public health efforts, this report also introduces a model for action that highlights different levels of prevention activities across a range of stakeholders and provides specific examples of how population health strategies can be translated into cohesive areas for action at federal, state, and local levels.

Abstract: Information pick-up from peripheral vision is thought to play an important role in dynamic decision-making; however, this has not been verified empirically. This thesis reports a series of experiments that used a gaze-contingent manipulation of video footage to examine the role of central and peripheral vision in expert decision-making in the dynamic sport of basketball. In Experiment 1, opaque (black) occlusion was selectively applied to the central and/or peripheral vision of skilled and novice basketball players using a real-time gaze-contingent display. The skilled players made better decisions irrespective of whether they were using central vision, peripheral vision, or the full visual field. However, the opaque occlusion in this task could have concurrently impaired both information pick-up and the guidance of subsequent eye movements. In Experiment 2, occlusion was achieved via visual blur rather than black opaque occlusion in an effort to constrain information pick-up while permitting the guidance of normal visual search. The results again showed that skilled players had consistently higher response accuracy irrespective of the area of visual field they used or the level of blur applied. However, as the expert advantage remained strongly robust even under highly impaired viewing conditions, the question arose as to whether the response slide itself may have contained information that could support expert decision-making performance. Experiment 3 confirmed this suspicion and in Experiment 4 a suitable response mode that contained no inherent information was identified and validated. Experiment 5 adopted this revised response mode to essentially replicate Experiment 2 while also introducing further combinations of central and peripheral blur. Experiment 5 confirmed that skilled players demonstrate higher decision-making accuracy irrespective of the area of the visual field they rely on. Even low levels of blur, despite not influencing decision-making performance, were found to alter the pattern of eye movements used. This suggests that performance is maintained despite measurable changes in gaze. Remarkably, the decision-making performance of the novice participants improved when certain levels of blur were applied to the peripheral visual field. As a consequence, Experiment 6 examined whether the decision-making skill of inexperienced players could be enhanced through training when viewing with gaze-contingent blur. It was found that perceptual training with clear central + blurred peripheral vision led to better performance than equivalent training with normal (full-field) vision or with blurred central + clear peripheral vision. The improvements in performance were independent of changes in visual search strategy, suggesting that alterations in attentional allocation may have been responsible for the training effect. Collectively, the results of the experimental series lead to the conclusion that the ability to interpret information is the critical limiting factor to skilled decision-making rather than the location of the information within the visual field or the pattern of visual search. The findings provide a basis for the development of methodological guidelines for the use of gaze-contingent displays in dynamic tasks and lead to enhanced approaches in the investigation and training of decision-making skill.

Book excerpt: Thomas Sowell’s “extraordinary” explication of the competing visions of human nature lie at the heart of our political conflicts (New York Times) Controversies in politics arise from many sources, but the conflicts that endure for generations or centuries show a remarkably consistent pattern. In this classic work, Thomas Sowell analyzes this pattern. He describes the two competing visions that shape our debates about the nature of reason, justice, equality, and power: the "constrained" vision, which sees human nature as unchanging and selfish, and the "unconstrained" vision, in which human nature is malleable and perfectible. A Conflict of Visions offers a convincing case that ethical and policy disputes circle around the disparity between both outlooks.

This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your next professional move can make or break your career. Are you ready? In business, especially today, you are only as successful as your next career transition. Do well, and you'll be on the fast track to even more challenging roles. Fail, and you could irreparably harm your career--and your organization. In his international bestseller The First 90 Days, transition guru Michael D. Watkins outlined a set of basic principles for getting up to speed quickly in new professional roles. Since that book was published Watkins has worked with thousands of leaders, helping them to accelerate their transitions. These leaders posed challenging questions on how to apply the basic principles in real-life situations. The truth that emerged: the First 90 Days framework can be applied in every transition, but the way you apply it is entirely different when you have been promoted to a higher level than it is when you are joining a new organization or taking a role in a different country. Master Your Next Move answers a distinct need, focusing on the most common types of transitions leaders face and the unique challenges posed by each. Based on years of research, and now with a new introduction, this indispensable book explores eight crucial transitions virtually everyone encounters during their career, including promotion, leading former peers, onboarding into a new company, making an international move, and turning around a business in crisis. With real-world examples and many practical models and tools, Master Your Next Move is your guide to surviving and thriving as you make your next move . . . and every one after that.
