Abstract

This dissertation by Gustav Bohlin explores the critical issue of antibiotic resistance and its relation to natural selection, emphasizing the need for effective public education and communication. It highlights the global threat posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the importance of understanding natural selection to develop effective countermeasures. The work investigates how these topics are covered in media, education, and public communication, revealing gaps in the dissemination of crucial information. Through content analysis and classroom studies, the dissertation examines the potential of using antibiotic resistance as a context for teaching evolution, focusing on threshold concepts like randomness and spatial-temporal scales. The findings aim to inform educational strategies and improve scientific literacy among the general public.

Abstract

Attracting, hiring, developing and retaining the right people is crucial to an organization's success. The stakes have never been higher: a 2015 study by CAP suggests that the average cost of employee attrition is 20% of a mid-level employee's annual salary and up to 213% of a high-level executive's salary. In a business environment changing so rapidly that jobs which will be essential in 2020 don't even exist yet, Exceptional Talent examines how changes in technology, communication, and employee preferences are impacting the talent journey. It gives practical advice for how to build an effective recruitment and talent management strategy to meet the needs of the business today and prepare for the challenges of the future. Exceptional Talent covers how to build an authentic employer brand, explores new ways of sourcing candidates and explains how to use print, digital, social and mobile platforms to target the right people in the right way. Highlighting the impact of networks, relationships and referrals on talent acquisition, it also provides tools and techniques to create an efficient recruitment process, strategies for effective onboarding of new employees as well as practical advice and best practice case studies for retaining and engaging employees.

Abstract

La sélection médicale consiste à sélectionner les donneurs sûrs pour minimiser le risque de la transfusion sanguine. Selon l’Organisation mondiale de la santé. Les donneurs bénévoles non rémunérés sont reconnus comme les donneurs les plus sûrs du don de sang, ils représentent 100% ou presque des donneurs dans les pays développés. Dans le Centre National de Transfusion Sanguine (CNTS) de Madagascar, situé à Antananarivo, les donneurs familiaux sont plus nombreux que les donneurs bénévoles. La sélection médicale garde son importance pour améliorer la sécurité transfusionnelle. La présente étude vise à analyser la sélection médicale afin de proposer des recommandations pour améliorer la sécurité transfusionnelle dans ce centre. Nous avons mené une étude rétrospective des donneurs enregistrés de janvier à décembre 2015 dans ce centre. Les résultats sont analysés selon les données de la littérature sur pub Med et OMS à partir de 2007. En 2015, le centre a enregistré 23945 donneurs à l’accueil. Parmi ces donneurs 31,06% ont été écartés pour des raisons médicales ou non. Les 16506 aptes à donner du sang sont constitués surtout par des sujets masculins (75%), et dont l’âge est de 25 à 44 ans dans 40,50ù. Les donneurs familiaux représentent 76,37% , 3,87% des poches prélevées ont été détruites à cause des tests de dépistage positifs aux maladies transmissibles. L’hépatite B tient le premier rang de ces maladies 3,09% suivie de la syphilis 0,4%.Dès lors, nous recommandons de réviser le questionnaire médical, de renforcer la formation du personnel, d’améliorer mes moyens de sensibilisation de la population générale sur l’importance du don du sang et d’encourager les donneurs familiaux à devenir des donneurs bénévoles.

Abstract

John Tyler Bonner, a major participant in the development of biology as an experimental science, is the author not only of important monographs but also of a wonderfully readable book, Life Cycles, which is both a personal memoir and a profound commentary on the central themes of biology. This volume of essays presents new material that extends the concepts from Life Cycles and his other writings. Its originality lies in comparing key basic biological processes at different levels, from molecular interactions through multicellular development to behavior and social interactions. The first chapter in the book discusses self-organization and natural selection; the second, competition and natural selection; and the third, gene accumulation and gene silencing. The fourth chapter examines the division of labor in organisms at all levels: within the organelles of a cell, within groups of cells in the guise of differentiation, within groups of individuals in an animal society, and within our culturally determined human societies. The work closes with a charming personal history of sixty years of changes in the field of biology, including the transformation in the ways that research work is funded.Originally published in 1996.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

We describe research on the impact of health insurance on healthcare spending ("moral hazard"), and use this context to illustrate the value of and important complementarities between different empirical approaches. One common approach is to emphasize a credible research design; we review results from two randomized experiments, as well as some quasi-experimental studies. This work has produced compelling evidence that moral hazard in health insurance exists - that is, individuals, on average, consume less healthcare when they are required to pay more for it out of pocket - as well as qualitative evidence about its nature. These studies alone, however, provide little guidance for forecasting healthcare spending under contracts not directly observed in the data. Therefore, a second and complementary approach is to develop an economic model that can be used out of sample. We note that modeling choices can be consequential: different economic models may fit the reduced form but deliver different counterfactual predictions. An additional role of the more descriptive analyses is therefore to provide guidance regarding model choice.

Abstract

People are the problem. They're always the problem. If a business person goes home frustrated, if they talk with their significant other about it, if they lay awake at night stewing about it, inevitably the problem is some person at work a colleague, subordinate, or boss. Handling people issues is every leader's major headache. It's what takes up the majority of their time and more important the bulk of their head space. Every leader can and must develop this most important of all management skills. The Power of People Skills will teach you that there's one primary difference between a great culture and a poor one: a great culture insists on having star players in every key seat, and a poor culture tolerates under performers.
