Download or read book Evidence Based Public Health written by Ross C. Brownson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are at least three ways in which a public health program or policy may not reach stated goals for success: 1) Choosing an intervention approach whose effectiveness is not established in the scientific literature; 2) Selecting a potentially effective program or policy yet achieving only weak, incomplete implementation or "reach," thereby failing to attain objectives; 3) Conducting an inadequate or incorrect evaluation that results in a lack of generalizable knowledge on the effectiveness of a program or policy; and 4) Paying inadequate attention to adapting an intervention to the population and context of interest To enhance evidence-based practice, this book addresses all four possibilities and attempts to provide practical guidance on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings. It also begins to address a fifth, overarching need for a highly trained public health workforce. This book deals not only with finding and using scientific evidence, but also with implementation and evaluation of interventions that generate new evidence on effectiveness. Because all these topics are broad and require multi-disciplinary skills and perspectives, each chapter covers the basic issues and provides multiple examples to illustrate important concepts. In addition, each chapter provides links to the diverse literature and selected websites for readers wanting more detailed information. An indispensable volume for professionals, students, and researchers in the public health sciences and preventative medicine, this new and updated edition of Evidence-Based Public Health aims to bridge research and evidence with policies and the practice of public health.

Download or read book Water Safety in Buildings written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensive experience shows that poor design and management of water systems in buildings can cause outbreaks of disease. The types of building, water uses, disease outcomes and individuals affected are diverse. The health risks are preventable and can be readily controlled. However, evidence from outbreak detection suggests that the overall trend is increasing. With increasing global urbanization, the overall exposure of the human population to poorly designed or managed water systems in buildings is increasing rapidly. Consequently, the risk of disease outbreaks is also increasing. Actions to reduce the risk of disease should be considered a public health priority. This document provides guidance for managing water supplies in buildings where people may drink water; use water for food preparation; wash, shower, swim or use water for other recreational activities; or be exposed to aerosols produced by water-using devices, such as cooling towers. These uses occur in a variety of buildings, such as hospitals, schools, child and aged care, medical and dental facilities, hotels, apartment blocks, sport centres, commercial buildings and transport terminals. The target audience for this document includes the full range of "actors" who influence the overall safe management of building water supplies. In particular, it is directed at those who design, construct, manage, operate, maintain and regulate building water systems.

Download or read book Parametricism 2 0 written by Patrik Schumacher and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parametricism is an avant-garde architecture and design movement that has been growing and maturing over the last 15 years, emerging as a remarkable global force. The tendency started in architecture but now encompasses all design disciplines, from urban design to fashion. In architecture, the style has an international following and is currently progressing beyond its experimental roots to make an impact on a broader scale, with practices like Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) winning and completing large-scale architectural projects worldwide. Parametricism implies that all elements and aspects of an architectural composition or product are parametrically malleable; and the style owes its original, unmistakable physiognomy to its unprecedented use of computational design tools and fabrication methods. All design parameters are conceived as variables that allow the design to vary and adapt to the diverse, complex and dynamic requirements of contemporary society. Although Parametricism has been talked about and hotly debated for a number of years, so far there has been no publication dedicated to Parametricism. The issue is guest-edited by Patrik Schumacher, partner at ZHA, and one of the world's most highly renowned advocates of Parametricism. Contributors: Philippe Block, Shajay Bhooshan, Mark Burry, Mario Carpo, Manuel DeLanda, John Frazer, Mark Foster Gage, Enriqueta Llabres and Eduardo Rico, Achim Menges, Theo Spyropoulos, Robert Stuart-Smith, Philip F Yuan. Featured architects and designers: Arup, Mark Fornes/THEVERYMANY, Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) and Ross Lovegrove.
Download or read book Starting Up in Business Networks written by Lise Aaboen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a novel perspective on starting-up new business ventures through examining the process by which they become part of the existing business environment. The book highlights the importance of inter-organizational business relationships. Asserting that new ventures need to interact and connect with customers and suppliers, alongside policy actors and universities, Starting up in Business Networks demonstrates how beginning a new venture demands initiating and developing business relationships. Noting a lack of prior research into the process by which start-ups embed into an existing business network, this book presents examples from countries such as Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands and China to analyse the emergence and evolution of start-up business networks.
Download or read book Innovative Learning Models for Prisoners written by Francesca Torlone and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prison education should be a top priority issue in most societies. Prison conditions must not infringe human rights and dignity and must offer meaningful treatment programmes in order to support inmates in their rehabilitation and reintegration in society. The use of ICTs within a penitentiary context plays a crucial role in that. The present Volume looks at the learning potential in prisons and reports on innovative (e-)learning pathways for basic skills education as designed and tested in Cyprus, Greece, Italy and Romania. Research investigated on what counts as ‘educational’ in such a complex context and how to combine relevant pieces in a ‘learning mosaic’ (the broad range of any learning opportunity across it). This Volume argues that such an approach may be adopted in a wider European perspective within the frame of dynamic security.

Download or read book Nonprofit Governance written by Chris Cornforth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current fashion for rolling back the state has seen the nonprofit or third sector playing an increasing role in what were previously the heartlands of the public sphere. The growing significance of the sector and its increasing reliance on public funds mean it has also attracted increased scrutiny. From outside the sector concerns have been raised about the accountability and performance of nonprofit organizations. From within the sector there has been considerable debate about whether the increased reliance on government contracts is in danger of undermining the sector’s independence. As a result the spotlight has fallen on governance arrangements and whether they are adequate to ensure that nonprofit organizations are effective and accountable for their actions, and able to retain their independence. This collection offers a comprehensive assessment of research on the governance of nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit governance research has been dominated by the study of boards of unitary organizations and has paid insufficient attention to the multi-level nature of governance, governance relationships and dynamics, and the contribution of actors other than board members, to governance processes. Drawing on the research of leading scholars in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, this book presents new perspectives on non-profit governance, which help to overcome these weaknesses. Written in an accessible manner the book will be of value to scholars, researchers, students, reflective practitioners and governance consultants and advisers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume affronta il tema della misurazione e valutazione delle performance nelle aziende sanitarie italiane, approfondendo caratteristiche, finalità e potenzialità del Cruscotto Direzionale Multidimensionale (CDM) sviluppato nell’ambito della Academy of Health Care Management and Economics Bocconi – Novartis. Il CDM è stato progettato per l’Alta Direzione delle aziende sanitarie, attorno a tre quadri di indicatori diversi e complementari tra loro: uno per le esigenze di governo e monitoraggio delle dinamiche strategiche e gestionali dell’azienda nel complesso, uno specifico per il governo clinico e uno disegnato per gli scopi della rendicontazione esterna ai principali portatori d’interesse. Il libro ripercorre il percorso di definizione del modello di CDM, la sua implementazione in un panel di aziende ospedaliere e i principali risultati ottenuti; nello specifico: il percorso e i motivi che hanno portato alla definizione del progetto Academy dedicato al performance management delle aziende sanitarie (capitolo 1); la declinazione del Cruscotto Direzionale Multidimensionale, le sue finalità e il potenziale informativo dello strumento (capitolo 2); la definizione di un modello di Cruscotto per il Governo Clinico a presidio delle principali aree di attività sanitarie e di interesse delle Direzioni Sanitarie e Mediche di Presidio (capitolo 3); la formulazione di una proposta di Cruscotto per la Rendicontazione Sociale per i principali stakeholder dell’azienda ospedaliera (capitolo 4); le principali criticità legate all’implementazione di sistemi di misurazione delle performance e i possibili sviluppi futuri del processo di diffusione e implementazione del CDM e più in generale del progetto Academy (capitolo 5). Il libro è il frutto di un percorso durato oltre quattro anni con il coinvolgimento dei professionisti e del top management delle aziende ospedaliere partecipanti al progetto Academy of Health Care Management and Economics di SDA Bocconi, CeRGAS e Novartis Italia. L’Academy of Health Care Management and Economics è una partnership strategica tra SDA Bocconi School of Managment, CeRGAS dell’Università Bocconi e Novartis Italia che si propone sul panorama nazionale come laboratorio d’innovazione manageriale per le Aziende Sanitarie Pubbliche. Tra il 2010 e il 2015 un gruppo di Aziende Sanitarie Pubbliche rappresentative del panorama sanitario nazionale sono state coinvolte in attività di ricerca e formazione che hanno permesso al top management, ai professionisti sanitari e amministrativi di confrontarsi sui temi della strategia, del controllo e della valutazione delle performance.
