Download or read book Writing Effective Ecological Reports written by Mike Dean and published by Pelagic Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth guide to writing high-quality and effective professional ecological reports. Mike Dean distils the knowledge and experience gained over a period of more than 20 years working as an ecological consultant, during which time he has written and reviewed many such reports. There are existing good practice guidelines on ecological report writing, published by CIEEM and co-authored by the author of this book. Writing Effective Ecological Reports goes beyond those guidelines. It provides practical advice on the structure, content and style of ecological reports, using numerous case study examples to help the reader’s understanding. It also tackles topics not covered by the guidelines, such as how to write an effective summary, how to create and use a report template, how to proofread reports, and what those tasked with reviewing reports should be looking for. This book will be invaluable for any professional ecologist, or anyone hoping to become a professional ecologist. It is particularly aimed at those who write ecological reports, such as ecological consultants. However, it also provides practical advice for those tasked with reading and reviewing reports written by others, including those working for local planning authorities or nature conservation consultees. The book has been written to be useful to those with limited experience, such as recent graduates, as well as those with many years of experience as a professional ecologist, and everyone in the middle.

Download or read book Current Status of and Future Directions for Assessing Technology Acceptance for Digital Mental Health Interventions written by Jennifer Apolinário-Hagen and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-02 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, digital interventions have proliferated and show promising results in preventing and treating common mental health disorders, such as depression, in different settings (e.g., workplaces). Digital interventions may have advantages over face-to-face interventions (e.g., more accessible; easily customisable; real-time monitoring). However, despite efforts made by healthcare systems worldwide (e.g., apps on prescription in Germany), actual adoption is still rather low in many countries. It is essential to understand innovation acceptance in order to tailor digital interventions and to measure user technology acceptance. In this way, determinants can be identified to derive strategies to promote acceptance. Technology acceptance has been studied extensively, resulting in the development of various theoretical models (e.g., Technology Acceptance Model-TAM; Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology-UTAUT, UTAUT2). Besides several methodological strengths, technology acceptance models also have various limitations, which makes it difficult to investigate causality or to generalize findings across different contexts, populations, and cultures.

Download or read book Pharmacogenomics Implementation From Concept to Practice written by Miriam Saiz-Rodríguez and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-10 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of pharmacogenomics has experienced an unprecedented and exponential progress in recent years. Several pharmacogenomic biomarkers have been identified that have clinical practical value for the effective management of multiple pathologic disorders. Pharmacogenomic biomarkers sometimes help estimate the therapeutic window for specific patient populations and thereby help maximize patient safety. Translation of preclinical research discoveries in this expanding field into meaningful clinical diagnostic and therapeutic advances, especially in the context of precision medicine, is a focal point of contemporary research efforts. A better understanding of the genetic and epigenetic influencers of clinical responses to therapeutic agents is of paramount importance. On one hand, much remains to be deciphered and discovered through breakthrough research. On the other hand, existing information needs to be better disseminated to become part of the clinical decision process. In addition, there is a need for complementary health economics research to support the implementation of these validated biomarkers in routine clinical practice. Ultimately, these efforts are likely to improve treatment outcomes even in difficult-to-treat disease and provide the foundation for more effective personalized treatment strategies for a broad-spectrum of illnesses.
