What are the special problems involved in surveying immigrant populations and ethnic minorities? How can we ensure adequate representation of these growing groups in general population surveys? This book is the first to address these challenges in a systematic way. Experiences from eight Western countries, involving more than a dozen surveys, are used to explore difficulties in designing these types of surveys and some of the choices made to deal with them. The rich array of cases covered gives rise to valuable lessons, from local and national surveys, from well-funded surveys and those with limited means, and on a wide variety of topics ranging from politics to health.

Der Strukturwandel in der Gesundheitsversorgung betrifft nicht nur die Belange der Patienten. Er erfordert auch ein Umdenken innerhalb der Gesundheitsberufe, um den neuen Bedarfslagen und Rahmenbedingungen gerecht zu werden. Inwiefern müssen sich die Handlungsspektren der Verantwortlichen den Gegebenheiten anpassen? Wie kann dem Mangel an Fachpersonal bei gleichzeitigem Innovationsdruck begegnet werden? Vor diesem Hintergrund analysieren namhafte Autoren Wandel, Trends und Perspektiven der personenbezogenen Dienstleistungsberufe im Gesundheitswesen -- mit besonderem Blick auf die Versorgungs- und Bildungslandschaft. Auch zukunftsfähige Professionalisierungswege werden diskutiert. "Dieser Band", so Klaus Hurrelmann, "übernimmt die längst überfällige Bestandsaufnahme der aktuellen Entwicklungen im Feld der Berufe des Gesundheitssystems."

What is expertise? A modest answer implies good competence possessed by individuals with acknowledged skill. Although this interpretation implies adequate competence, a more precise definition signifies exclusive competence that experts are able to exhibit consistently. Such expertise falls within two categories: normatively exclusive expertise lies at the upper extreme of distributions for skills practiced by many people: another form refers to exclusive skills practiced by few people. Although both these forms typically show peak performance levels in early to mid-adulthood, objective comparisons outside this range often make use of age-graded categories. For example, competitions for junior and master athletes enable comparison of athletic prowess within categories pertaining to youth and later life, respectively. This Research Topic focuses on understanding human potential across the lifespan. Indicators of human potential include superior performances, relative to those by age peers, during given historical epochs. Examples used in previous research include record or top ranked performances in athletics and swimming, top ratings by chess players, high levels on objective measures of occupational or recreational performance, and superior laboratory performance after sustained periods of focussed deliberate practice. General modeling of such data indicates a necessity for sustained and focussed deliberate practice for the acquisition and maintenance of expertise. Focussed deliberate practice at the acquisition stage contributes to cognitive or physiological gains that enable transitions across a sequence of states relevant to expertise. Continuation of such practice contributes to the maintenance of expertise and, together with compensation and adaptation, helps to lessen performance loss beyond the period of peak performance. More specific models include those that emphasize the physiological underpinnings of expertise in different activities, cognitive techniques used to enhance performance, tactics within competitive activities, strategies pertaining to repeated performances, supportive influences on the development and retention of expertise, and statistical modeling of age trends. From a life span perspective, such modeling should take account of three temporal trends that, by consensus, provide the methodological foundations for lifespan research. These trends are historical transition (e.g., in participation rates and types of training in sport), cohort differences (i.e., cross-sectional trend) and age changes (i.e., longitudinal trend). Issues in modeling that require attention include (but are by no means limited to) the following: a) discussion about appropriate data analytic procedures to distinguish developmental and aging effects from those associated with cohort differences and historical era; for example, the extent to which developmental effects can be modelled for use in identifying talent in sport; b) investigation of the generalizability of findings from top performers: for example, the extent to which their age trends generalize to those of lesser ability; c) examination of issues related to attrition from databases of top performances: for example, attrition from such databases as age-class records and annual ‘Top N’ performance rankings arise from deletion of entries replaced by superior subsequent performances, in addition to reasons associated with morbidity, mortality, and loss of interest.

Thunderstorm activity is characterized by a pronounced spatiotemporal variability. For several countries in Europe, this variability is analyzed and attributed to large-scale drivers using multivariate statistical methods. The analysis of atmospheric teleconnections reveals a link between the long-term behavior of thunderstorm activity and natural climate variability.

Elk tijdperk heeft zijn eigen toonaangevende beroepsgroep. In de negentiende eeuw waren het juristen (bij vorming van rechtsstaten), en in de twintigste eeuw bankiers (financiële markten) en ingenieurs (inrichting van steden). Das war einmal. Welkom in de 21e eeuw, het tijdperk waarin programmeurs de dienst uitmaken. De 'coders' zijn niet alleen de architecten van onze moderne maatschappij (van internet tot kunstmatige intelligentie), maar ook de oprichters en eigenaren van de invloedsrijkste bedrijven (van Google tot Facebook). Hoog tijd dus om hen beter te leren kennen.Want wie zijn deze mensen die in essentie onze wereld vormgeven? Wat voor iemand voelt zich aangetrokken tot werk dat onmenselijke precisie vereist? En misschien de belangrijkste vraag: hoe klinkt de manier van denken van de coder door in onze samenleving?Clive Thompson, een van de invloedrijkste tech-denkers, neemt ons mee in een onthullend antropologisch onderzoek naar misschien wel de machtigste groep mensen ter wereld. Hij laat ons de homogene groep zien waaruit de huidige coder-populatie bestaat, lees: witte mannen met een voorliefde voor ontregelende uitvindingen waarvan later pas bekeken wordt welke morele implicaties ze hebben. Maar hij beschrijft ook hoe coderen de wereld onmiskenbaar heeft verbeterd en waar wij non-coders over na zouden moeten denken. Oftewel, ontmoet de nieuwe machthebbers: ze zijn je wereld aan het veranderen.Bron : http://www.managementbpoek.nl
