John Hampton – författare

Boken EKG på enkelt sätt är en översättning av John Hamptons & Joanna Hamptons bok The ECG made easy som i fyrtiofem års tid har varit den klassiska introduktionen till EKG. I Sverige, till skillnad från i stora delar av resten av världen, presenterar man extremitetsavledningarna enligt Cabrera-systemet. Denna svenska upplaga inkluderar därför ett tillägg om vad som skiljer EKG-registrering i Sverige från de flesta andra länder.EKG på enkelt sätt består av fyra delar. I första delen förklaras grunderna till EKG och hur det används i den kliniska praktiken på ett mycket enkelt sätt. I den andra delen förklaras teorin bakom EKG registrering som en utgångspunkt för grundläggande tolkning av de tolv avledningarna. I den tredje delen presenteras den kliniska tolkningen av EKG hos patienter med bröstsmärta, andfåddhet, hjärtklappning och synkope. Normalvarianter i EKG-registreringar från friska personer presenteras också. I den fjärde och sista delen testar du själv dina kunskaper genom att tolka EKG från verklighetsbaserade patientfall. Boken, som av British medical journal kallas för en medicinsk klassiker, har varit en klar favorit hos flera generationer läkarstudenter och sjuksköterskor. EKG-tolkning upplevs ofta som svårt och abstrakt. EKG på enkelt sätt inspirerar läsaren att se EKG som både något enkelt och en förlängning av patientanamnesen och den fysiska undersökningen. För hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal som behöver grundläggande och lättförståelig kunskap om EKG utgör boken ett oumbärligt stöd.

Since the 2008 financial crisis that set the baseline for the roller-coaster market we deal with today, combined with the constantly changing developments in technology and communications, modern-day risk management demands dealing with up-to-the-minute approaches for defending against threats.Extensively updated, the second edition of Fundamentals of Enterprise Risk Management examines the latest technologies such as Riskonnect and High Tech Electronic Platform (HTEP), and helps you:recognize both internal and external exposures,understand crucial concepts such as risk mapping and risk identification,and align risk opportunities with their organization's business model.Packed with practical exercises and fresh case studies from organizations such as IBM, Microsoft, Apple, JPMorgan Chase, and Sony, this invaluable resource is key to assessing company risk, managing exposure, and seizing opportunities.

The grasses and legumes grown in pastures and rangelands form the basis of the worldwide animal production industry. Some species also have a significant role in the sport and leisure industry, for playing surfaces such as golf courses and football fields. It is therefore vitally important to ensure that seed supplies of appropriate species are available for use on a commercial scale. This book is published in association with the International Herbage Seed Production Research Group. It brings together leading researchers and along with its companion volume Forage Seed Production Volume 2: Tropical and Subtropical Species (to be published in late 1998), provides the definitive resource for all those concerned with breeding and profitable seed production for grasses and legumes used within grazing systems or recreation and amenity provision. The book is in two parts. Part 1 covers all aspects relevant to seed production, including improving seed yield and quality, crop management, harvesting, processing and the international seed trade. Part 2 consists of eleven case studies from eight countries covering three continents. This book and its companion should be read by all seed scientists involved in the breeding and commercial production of grass and legume seed. They also represent a valuable asset for all commercial seed suppliers. Additionally, the information presented within the book is important for all students and lecturers within departments of agriculture and plant breeding.
