Radiologi är en av de största kliniska specialiteterna inom sjukvården, med koppling till praktiskt taget alla övriga specialiteter. På senare tid har utvecklingen inom fältet varit enastående, både vad gäller teknik, kontrastmedel, minimalinvasiva behandlingsmetoder och digital bildhantering. Förutom att avbilda olika organs morfologi och funktion går det numera också att avbilda skeenden på cellulär och molekylär nivå, och ersätta och komplettera tvådimensionella bilder med tre­dimensionella och efterbearbetade bilder för att underlätta förståelse, kvantifiering och visualisering av sjukdomsprocesser i kroppen.För att på bästa sätt spegla denna utveckling består den nya upplagan av Radiologi av en fysisk bok som kombineras med en omfattande digital bilddatabas. Den innehåller drygt 1800 bilder och filmer, som på bästa sätt illustrerar de frågeställningar och problem som läkare kan tänkas stöta på i sin yrkesroll. Samtliga kapitel har också genomgått en omfattande revidering. Dessutom har interventionell radiologi getts utökat utrymme, och i ett separat kapitel beskrivs bifynd vid radiologi.Radiologi vänder sig främst till läkarstudenter och läkare. Men boken kan genom sin utformning, bland annat det stora antalet bilder med kommentarer, också användas av andra yrkeskategorier som är under utbildning eller verksamma inom sjukvården.

Per Unckel var en framgångsrik och karismatisk politiker, omtyckt långt utanför Moderaternas krets. I den här boken skriver tolv personer om sina möten med Per i olika roller, bland annat i Moderata Ungdomsförbundet, på Utbildningsdepartementet och på Länsstyrelsen i Stockholms län. Boken visar hur en enskild person med starkt engagemang och ideologisk kompass kan påverka utvecklingen på många områden.Redaktör Lars Niklasson. Boken har förord av Ulf Kristersson.

Nils Dardel (1888-1943) är känd för många som upphovsmannen till den mytomspunna tavlan Den döende dandyn, som såldes för rekordsummor på 1980-talet. I boken lyfts blicken mot Dardels övriga konstnärskap och fram träder en fascinerande bildvärld som rymmer såväl det bisarra som det allmänmänskliga. Dardels berättande måleri har genom åren tolkats i skenet av hans eget liv, men i den här boken öppnar författarna upp för nya sätt att se på hans konstnärskap. I boken finns ett rikt utbud av Nils Dardels verk såväl som dokumentära bilder. Bokens texter är författade av Annelie Tuveros, intendent Mjellby Konstmuseum, Cecilia Berggren, konstvetare och skribent, samt Patrik Steorn fil. dr i konstvetenskap och verksam vid Centrum för modevetenskap vid Stockholms universitet. I boken ingår även en biografi sammanställd av Lena Rydén. Förord av Karolina Petersson, museichef, Mjellby Konstmuseum-Halmstadgruppens museum i Halmstad

"The budget and financial reporting processes are well known sources of frustration for most CFOs. Seeking a quick fix to the problem, the common solution is to pour more money into new and better software. This leaves the root cause, the inefficient and dysfunctional underlying processes and routines, unaddressed. As this book shows, substantial and sustainable improvements are only achieved through an holistic approach to process improvement, technology, strategy, and people."—Tom Henry Knudsen, Executive Vice President, Telenor Eiendom Fornebu AS, Proven methods for improving efficiency Corporations face a high turnover among financial managers, rapid changes in technology, lack of time and process redesign skills, and ongoing ambiguity about primary objectives behind the budgeting and financial reporting processes. Amid this frenzy, it is the fundamental efficiency of these processes that dramatically impact overall business performance. Process Improvement for Effective Budgeting and Financial Reporting provides financial managers with a compelling blueprint for increasing efficiency and eliminating waste of time and energy. Four operational experts lay out an 80/20 plan-improving 80% of processes in 20% of the time it would take to improve 100%-and explain a Business Process Improvement (BPI) plan that incorporates: The emerging trends affecting financial managers todayStep-by-step process implementationInterviews with industry leaders, consultants, and managers who have successfully instituted BPI plansAppraisals of the available software that can help or hinder the processThere is no substitute for improved efficiency. CFOs, controllers, budget managers, and financial analysts will significantly benefit from adding this authoritative guide to their professional libraries.

Essential Budget Planning for the 21st Century Corporation Today's corporations are more competitive, dynamic, and, consequently, more powerful and successful than ever before. As a result, the days when corporate budgeting was merely an obligatory, routine process of estimating the coming year's revenues and expenses have long ended. Successful corporations are constantly improving their ability to predict their future operations and their related resource requirements, enabling them to adjust their plans as needed and stay ahead of the competition. Not only does this heighten the importance of the budgeting and planning process, but it also changes the traditional roles of spreadsheets, legacy budget systems, and software created in-house. Budgeting shows corporations how to achieve and maintain their edge through modern budgeting systems and the use of good budgeting software. This book provides comprehensive guidance through the range of considerations that are crucial to streamlining the budget planning process:* What corporations should be looking for when buying or building a new budgeting solution* How to select the right budgeting solution from the field of vendors* How to successfully implement a new budgeting solution* How to fully utilize the Web . . . plus helpful lists and questionnaires, and interviews with managers from leading companies who have effectively created internal processes and implemented software solutions. Equip your corporation to excel in the twenty-first century with the tools and information offered in this invaluable resource.

Effective risk and opportunity management is key to the successful delivery of any major engineering and construction project. This book looks at how all those involved can manage risk and capitalise on the opportunities that uncertainty present. The authors of this book highlight that uncertainties should be managed rather than avoided. This book will look at simple projects with a small team, to megaprojects where some hundreds of people are involved, and the consequences of delays or unforeseen costs. However, while the obvious risks can be planned for, the authors argue that it is often the opportunities in these situations that can have unexploited potential.This book is about opportunity management seen from the owner’s perspective. It will be an invaluable resource for those studying Engineering both undergraduate and postgraduate and set out ways in which projects should be managed from planning to completion. This book is also a great tool for those working in project management and the construction industry. While there are many books that demonstrate effective construction management, this book is the first of its kind to emphasise that there is opportunity in uncertainty, and possibility in the unexpected.

The study of animal behaviour has become one of the fastest growing b- logical disciplines in recent decades. This development can be easily - ferred, for example, from the steady increase in the total number of pub- cations on any aspect of animal behaviour, in particular also in journals with a more general readership (e. g. Nature, Proceedings of the Royal - ciety or Current Biology), the ever-increasing number of participants at - ternational conferences (e. g. IEC or ISBE), and from the growing numbers of students choosing courses in this field. This development has several causes, of which I find three particularly compelling. First, it is incre- ingly being appreciated that behaviour is the crucial level at which an in- vidual's genotype and phenotype interface with the environment. Rec- nising behaviour as the main mechanism animals employ to ascertain their homeostasis, growth, survival and reproduction therefore provides a deep understanding of organismal integration and adaptation.Second, the ast- ishing success of the study of animal behaviour also has importantly to do with the intellectual flexibility and methodological inter-disciplinarity - quired for comprehensive analyses of behaviour. Today, students of beh- iour are jacks-of-all-trades; importing, applying and improving methods from many neighbouring disciplines, such as molecular genetics, physi- ogy or micro-electronics, as well as concepts and theories from less ob- ous sources, such as economics or sociology, for example.
