Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the meaning of good? The word good, embodies a concept that enables me(everybody) to differentiate everything that surrounds me in life. Good is the quantity of the concept `s quality. The word quality has not a scientific definition .Everybody interpret this word according his mind (empirically). For the set of people the concept and the word quality dos not exist. The lack of scientific definition for the quality is the reason of: The political, economical and social sciences confusion and economic crises. In this book the reader will find the definition of the basic concepts of goods like: Goodness of goods (quality of goods), good goods (quality quantity of goods),etc. And the work concepts like: The work quality, the work quantity of quality, the work change..., goodtime of the work, the work goodtime quantity.

Download or read book Measurement Theory and Practice written by David J. Hand and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2010-04-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a world of measurements. Measurements, be they of length, speed, weight, temperature, intelligence, income, endurance, greed, gross domestic product, quality of life, unemployment or skill at a job, are all numerical manifestations of the extent of some underlying attribute. They reflect the reality around us – length and weight provide examples of systems that represent clear physical attributes. At the same time, measurements also define the reality around us – psychometric tests and price inflation constitute both the definitions and the procedures for measuring these concepts. Altogether, measurements are central to our modern world and our view of it. This book explores the nature of measurement, investigating its different kinds, how these kinds should be interpreted, and the legitimacy of their statistical manipulation. The procedures through which numbers are assigned to objects are described, and measurement in psychology, medicine, the physical sciences, and the social sciences are examined in detail. The ideas of measurement are so ubiquitous that we often fail to notice them; they are concealed behind a veil of familiarity. This book lifts the corner of that veil and, in doing so, shows that there are aspects of the familiar world that are occasionally puzzling, sometimes downright extraordinary, and often more intriguing than is generally believed.

This book was released on 2024-05-13 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's fast-paced and competitive manufacturing landscape, industries worldwide face the pressing challenge of optimizing production processes to meet ever-growing demands for efficiency, quality, and sustainability. Traditional manufacturing systems often need help to meet these demands, leading to inefficiencies, quality issues, and increased costs. To address these challenges, there is a critical need for a comprehensive understanding of advanced production management principles, such as the Toyota Production System (TPS) and its evolution into the Advanced TPS. Revolutionary Automobile Production Systems for Optimal Quality, Efficiency, and Cost serves as a definitive guide for scholars seeking to understand and implement the principles of TPS and Advanced TPS in modern manufacturing management. By offering a deep dive into these systems' philosophy, theory, and practical applications, the book equips readers with the knowledge and tools needed to revolutionize their manufacturing processes. Whether you're a scholar looking to expand your knowledge or a practitioner seeking to enhance your organization's manufacturing capabilities, this book offers a compelling solution to modern manufacturing challenges.
Download or read book Statistical Methods for Quality of Life Studies written by Mounir Mesbah and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 16 and 17, 2000, we hosted an international workshop entitled "Statistical Design, Measurement, and Analysis of Health Related Quality of Life." The workshop was held in the beautiful city of Arradon, South Brittany, France with the main goal of fostering an interdisciplinary forum for discussion of theoretical and applied statistical issues arising in studies of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Included were biostatisticians, psychometricians and public health professionals (e.g., physicians, sociologists, psychologists) active in the study ofHRQoL. In assembling this volume, we invited each conference participant to contribute a paper based on his or her presentation and the ensuing and very interesting discussions that took place in Arradon. All papers were peer-reviewed, by anonymous reviewers, and revised before final editing and acceptance. Although this process was quite time consuming, we believe that it greatly improved the volume as a whole, making this book a valuable contribution to the field ofHRQoL research. The volume presents a broad spectrum of papers presented at the Workshop, and thus illustrates the range of current research related to the theory, methods and applications of HRQoL, as well as the interdisciplinary nature ofthis work. Following an introduction written by Sir David Cox, it includes 27 articles organized into the following chapters.
Download or read book Handbook of Quality of Life in Cancer written by Angelos P. Kassianos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality of life is an important outcome when treating a cancer patient. Research is vast on the role of quality of life on patients' general wellbeing, responsiveness to treatment, and even mortality. On the other hand, there are several methodological considerations when planning to measure and assess quality of life in cancer patients. This handbook – with authorship that is diverse in terms of perspectives, countries, and fields – aims to fill a gap in the available literature and responds to a number of questions in its 26 chapters: What is quality of life and health-related quality of life and why are they important? How is quality of life assessed? What are the theoretical and methodological considerations when using quality of life outcomes in cancer research? How is quality of life useful in routine clinical care? How is quality of life impacting different cancer populations in terms of site of the cancer, age, gender, and context? Handbook of Quality of Life in Cancer is a learning and consulting tool that can be used by a diverse audience. It is an essential resource for researchers who wish to use quality of life assessment tools in clinical trials or other types of studies; clinicians who want to develop their understanding of how they can utilize quality of life and how it is important for the patients they care for; and commissioners who wish to see why quality of life may impact population health and health system costs. Students in diverse fields of study (medicine, nursing, psychology, social work, medical sociology, population health, epidemiology, and medical statistics, among others) also would benefit from using the handbook for their studies and for their continuing professional development.
