Critical situations in acute and emergency care are one of the great clinical challenges. The nature of such care, involving uncertainty, high stakes, time pressure, and stress, makes this domain particularly vulnerable to errors in patient treatment. It has been increasingly acknowledged over the past decade that safe practice in these circumstances depends on a thorough understanding of the sources of human error. Crisis Management in Acute Care Settings is unique in providing a comprehensive outline of all the human factors issues relevant to patient safety during acute care.  This newly revised edition has emerged from a long-standing cooperation between clinicians and psychologists, who have worked together again to enlarge and update each chapter. The strengths of the two professions have been blended into a readily accessible text which will help both physicians and non-physicians to better understand the principles of human behavior and decision making in critical situations and thus to avoid errors and provide safer treatment.

Drawing on extensive archival research and using a conflated theoretical framework, the author offers a portrait of Williams that shows how his experiences in Trinidad, England, and America radicalized him and how his relationships with other Caribbean intellectuals--along with Aimé Césaire in Martinique, Juan Bosch in the Dominican Republic, George Lamming of Barbados, and Frantz Fanon from Martinique--enabled him to seize opportunities for social change and make a significant contribution to Caribbean epistemology.

"Malgré les aléas des relations entre les deux pays, les Chinois associent encore beaucoup le Canada à un héros qui serait sans contredit le plus illustre : le docteur Norman Bethune. Quiconque visite la Chine et entre en contact avec son peuple est en mesure de saisir que l'évocation de ce nom, Bethune, ou Bai Qiu'en, y fait résonner une sympathie chaleureuse qui, parfois, ressurgit même sur le Canada. Bethune, un Canadien donc, n'a pourtant pas connu une renommée aussi importante dans son propre pays où il évoque des sentiments contradictoires, à commencer par l'ignorance de qui était ce fameux personnage. Cette étude cherche à comprendre pourquoi les représentations de cette personne se sont avérées aussi distinctes. En commençant par la Chine, revenant au Canada, interrogeant des diplomates, des Québécois, des communistes canadiens et des membres de la bourgeoisie canadienne, et d'autres, dont Norman Bethune lui-même, nous cherchons ici à comprendre comment a évolué son image jusqu'à nos jours."--

The proton exchange membrane fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device, which transforms a fuel such as hydrogen and an oxidant such as oxygen in ambient air into electricity with heat and water byproducts. The device is more efficient than an internal combustion engine because reactants are directly converted into energy through a one-step electrochemical reaction. Fuel cells combined with water electrolyzers, which electrochemically split water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable energy sources such as solar, mitigate global warming concerns with reduced carbon dioxide emissions. This collection of papers covers recent advancements in fuel cell technology aimed at reducing cost, improving performance, and extending durability, which are perceived as crucial for a successful commercialization. Almost all key materials, as well as their integration into a cell, are discussed: the bus plates that collect the electrical current, the gas diffusion medium that distributes the reactants over catalysts promoting faster reactions, and the membrane separating oxygen and hydrogen gases and closing the electrical circuit by transporting protons. Fuel cell operation below the freezing point of water and with impure reactant streams, which impacts durability, is also discussed.

With contributions by researchers from India, Europe, North America and the Caribbean, In Translation - Reflections, refractions, transformations touches on questions of method and on topics - including copyright, cultural hybridity, globalization, identity construction, and minority languages - which are important for the disciplinary development of translation studies but also of interest to other fields as well, most notably comparative literature, cultural studies and world literature. The volume provides a forum for new voices to be heard alongside those of well-established scholars and for current concerns to express themselves, often focusing on practices in areas of the world other than Europe or North America, which have until now tended to dominate the field. Acknowledging difference and celebrating it, the contributions conceive of translation as a process which reconstitutes and transforms, which brings renewal and growth, an interaction in a new context, a new reading, a new writing.
