Crowell 2003 | 186 Pages | ISBN: 1842141945 | PDF | 6 MB Infant polysomnography (IPSG) holds great promise for the study of SIDS and other sleep and breathing disorders, the functional integrity of the developing brain, and early cardiorespiratory functioning. Although guidelines and standards have been developed for polysomnography, there has been no standardized procedural single source or protocol for IPSG as applied to infants over time, starting with preterm and continuing past 6 months post term. Until now.An Atlas of Infant Polysomnography provides unique coverage of IPSG for this age range with a depth of graphic illustrations you will find in no other resource. The contents cover the fundamentals of polysomnography such as caregiver education, the recording environment, and preparation of the laboratory prior to recording. The book includes:В·A discussion of polysomnography in contrast to a more limited sleep study or pneumogramВ·Directions on how to achieve optimal PSG results in very young infantsВ·Reliable techniques for scoring sleep and eventsВ·Waveform examplesUsing examples from the Collaborative Home Infant Monitor Evaluation (CHIME) experience, the author presents recommendations for data acquisition, recording considerations, monitoring, sleep state and stage definitions, recognition and smoothing, electroencephalographic arousal, and cardiorespiratory patterns and events. Elucidating procedures and standards for recording and scoring sleep and sleep-related events, An Atlas of Infant Polysomnography is a key resource for sleep researchers and clinicians who work with infants from 35 weeks conceptional age to 6 months post term.  An Atlas of Fetal Central Nervous System Disease: Diagnosis and Management By Ritsuko K. Pooh, Kazuo Maeda, Kyong Hon Pooh 2003 | 244 Pages | ISBN: 184214202X | PDF | 8 MB Advanced imaging technologies such as transvaginal sonography, 3D technology, and MRIs have opened up a new era in the prenatal diagnosis and management of central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities. An Atlas of Fetal Central Nervous System Disease: Diagnosis and Management contains over 100 images of congenital CNS anomalies and brain injuries in utero. It covers how to use advanced neuroimaging technologies for accurate CNS diagnosis and obstetrical management, provides detailed illustrations of the procedures for postnatal neurosurgical management, and helps answer questions about the timing of brain insult in utero and in cerebral palsy.  Ronald E. Powaski, "American Presidential Statecraft: From Isolationism to Internationalism" English | ISBN: 3319504568 | 2017 | 301 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 3 MB This book examines the presidency in twentieth century America and explores why some presidents succeed as makers of U.S. foreign policy while others fail, sometimes tragically.

This volume in particular focuses on Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D Roosevelt, and Harry Truman.  Agility: Management Principles for a Volatile World by Michael Edmondson English | 2021 | ASIN: B08Q2TH1DF | 224 Pages | EPUB | 1 MB  Christine Grant, "Agile Working and Well-Being in the Digital Age" English | ISBN: 3030602826 | 2020 | 184 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 3 MB Within the digital era, agile working is imperative for organisations and workers to meet the needs of customers, service-users and ever-changing markets. This needs to be achieved whilst meeting goals of effectiveness and well-being. In this book, state-of-the-art theory is used to understand how to optimise agile working by addressing key issues around personality, team-working and management. The authors define the concept of agile working and unpack often-misunderstood terms associated with this, such as remote working and telework. The book explores the well-being consequences of agile work including sedentary behaviours, digital distraction, and digital resistance before offering insights for the future. Examining current practice in the context of established and emerging theory, the book paves the way towards further advances in the field and supports organisations seeking to make agile working work for them.  Andrew Klevan, "Aesthetic evaluation and film" English | 2018 | ISBN: 1784991252, 1784991244 | 256 pages | True PDF | 14.66 MB This book provides an in-depth, holistic examination of evaluative aesthetics and criticism as they apply to film. Organised around the explanation of key concepts, it illuminates connections between the work of philosophers, theorists and critics, and demonstrates the evaluation of form through the close analysis of film sequences. The book advocates that aesthetic evaluation should be flexibly informed by a cluster of concerns including medium, convention, prominence, pattern and relation; and rather than privileging a particular theory or film style, it models a type of approach, attention, process and discourse. Suitable for students of film studies and philosophical aesthetics at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, Aesthetic evaluation and film also provides a framework for academics researching or teaching in the area. At the same time, the crisp and lucid style will make the book accessible to a wider readership.
