Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book reassesses theories of agency and gender identity against the backdrop of changing relations between men and women in contemporary societies. McNay argues that recent thought on the formation of the modern subject offers a one-sided or negative account of agency, which underplays the creative dimension present in the responses of individuals to changing social relations. An understanding of this creative element is central to a theory of autonomous agency, and also to an explanation of the ways in which women and men negotiate changes within gender relations.In exploring the implications of this idea of agency for a theory of gender identity, McNay brings together the work of leading feminist theorists - such as Judith Butler and Nancy Fraser - with the work of key continental social theorists. In particular, she examines the work of Pierre Bourdieu, Paul Ricoeur and Cornelius Castoriadis, each of whom has explored different aspects of the idea of the creativity of action. McNay argues that their thought has interesting implications for feminist ideas of gender, but these have been relatively neglected partly because of the huge influence of the work of Michel Foucault and Jacques Lacan in this area. She argues that, despite its suggestive nature, feminist theory must move away from the ideas of Foucault and Lacan if a more substantive account of agency is to be introduced into ideas of gender identity.This book will appeal to students and scholars in the areas of social theory, gender studies and feminist theory.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In today's world of rapid change, companies must unleash energy at all levels to identify new opportunities. But unleashing energy creates centrifugal forces that can pull the organization apart. Setting energy in motion isn't enough-it has to be focused. No single theory can capture how successful companies simultaneously generate and focus energy. Far better is to draw upon multiple perspectives from different management disciplines to provide a practical approach. This is exactly what Focused Energy provides. It draws upon the faculty of Europe's leading executive development school to help you: \* Energize your organization with initiatives coming from the frontline \* Build leadership capabilities to direct a bottom-up organization \* Integrate high energy into a coherent whole \* Identify new business opportunities and exploit radical business shifts In today's ever-changing business landscape, we see the need more than ever before for focused energy, for organizations that stimulate energy on the frontline, show great flexibility, and focus quickly on new breakthrough opportunities. This book addresses the issues of what a bottom-up organization is and how high economic value can be created through focusing and harnessing frontline energy. From the Foreword by Jorma Ollila, Chairman and CEO, Nokia; Bedingt durch den rasanten globalen Wandel wird durch alle Branchen hinweg verstärkt der Ruf nach 'Bottom-up-Organisationen' laut. In diesen Organisationen wird das Wissen und die Kreativität aller Mitarbeiter genutzt, um Initiativen in allen Unternehmensbereichen voranzutreiben. Doch die besonderen Strukturen der 'Bottom-up-Organisation' können auch eine destruktive Energie freisetzen, die das Unternehmen spaltet. Es reicht also nicht aus, Energie in Bewegung umzusetzen; die Energie muß zielgerichtet und konzentriert eingesetzt werden. Dafür gibt es bislang noch kein Patentrezept. Der beste Weg ist, aus einer Vielzahl verschiedener Managementdisziplinen einen praktischen Ansatz herauszuarbeiten. Paul Strebel und seine IMD Kollegen zeigen Ihnen hier, wie Sie Ihrem Unternehmen mit Hilfe von Initiativen aus vorderster Front neue Energie verleihen, wie Sie Führungsqualitäten entwickeln, um eine 'Bottom-up-Organisation' zu leiten und die Möglichkeiten erkennen, drastische Veränderungen zu Ihrem Vorteil zu nutzen. Mit diesem Buch lernen Sie, Ihre Unternehmensenergie gebündelt und zielstrebig einzusetzen.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Because arrhythmias can present in so many different forms, the only way to be certain of an interpretation is to understand the underlying ECG mechanism of arrhythmia. This is especially important in choosing a management strategy, as similar arrhythmias of differing origin may have vastly different therapies/treatments. Unfortunately, standard teaching methods can seem to divorce the theoretical knowledge required for diagnosis from the hands-on reading of ECGs. To achieve a balance of practicality and competency, the two parts of this book are equally divided between concrete example and didactic theory. Section I provides multiple ECG readings of the most commonly encountered simple and complex arrhythmias, and includes differential diagnosis where appropriate. These readings are presented with a minimum of theory, and are repetitively presented in multiple permutations, as they would be encountered in ECG reading room or on the wards. Section II provides a more in-depth discussion of ECG mechanisms and arrhythmogenesis. Attention is focused on the relevant underlying electrophysiology and the deductive processes used to reach the diagnoses of complex arrhythmias. This book can serve as a quick and handy reference for systematic, rule-based arrhythmic diagnoses, as well as an authoritative teaching text for learning the underlying theory and mechanics. It will be of great interest to students and clinicians at all levels, including cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and others who care for patients with cardiovascular disease, ICU and ER staff, emergency physicians, anesthesiologists, and surgeons.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1969 the first edition of this book introduced the concepts of statistics and their medical application to readers with no formal training in this area. While retaining this basic aim, the authors have expanded the coverage in each subsequent edition to keep pace with the increasing use and sophistication of statistics in medical research. This fifth edition has undergone major restructuring, with some sections completely rewritten; it is now more logically organized and more user friendly (with the addition of 'summary boxes' throughout the text). It incorporates new statistical techniques and approaches that have made an appearance since the last edition. In addition, some chapters or chapter headings are specifically marked to signify material that is more difficult than the material in which it is embedded - such sections or chapters can be omitted at first reading. Several new chapters have been added . 'Associations: Chance, Confounded and Causal ' explains without any formulae the concepts underlying confounding, confidence intervals and p values, and the interpretation of associations observed in research investigations. Another new chapter considers sample size calculations in some detail and provides, in addition to the relevant formulae, useful tables that should give the researcher an indication of the order of magnitude of the number of subjects he or she might require in different situations.…
