Stora anhörigboken samlar insikter från en bredd av ledande experter inom området anhörigomsorg. Den belyser anhörigas betydelsefulla roll och den belastning de upplever i sina strävanden att tillhanda­hålla omsorg, kontinuitet och kärlek när samhällets resurser inte räcker till. Boken lyfter fram riskerna för anhörigas egen hälsa, deras ekonomiska utsatthet och sociala stigmatisering samt den betydande överrepresentationen av kvinnor som vårdare. Genom att belysa vikten av ett mer organiserat samhällsstöd för anhöriga och erkänna deras plats som samhällsbärande grupp, erbjuder boken en djup­gående diskussion om en oundviklig aspekt av livet – att vara anhörig.Stora anhörigboken vänder sig till alla som i sitt nuvarande eller framtida yrke möter personer som är just anhöriga oavsett orsak till anhörigskapet.

This book focuses on recognition and its relation to religion and theology, in both systematic and historical dimensions. While existing research literature on recognition and contemporary recognition theory has been gradually growing since the early 1990s, certain gaps remain in the field covered so far. One of these is the multifaceted interaction between the phenomena of recognition and religion. Since recognition applies to persons, institutions, and normative entities like systems of beliefs, it also provides a very useful analytic and interpretative tool for studying religion. Divided into five sections, with chapters written by established scholars in their respective fields, the book explores the roots, history, and limits of recognition theory in the context of religious belief. Exploring early Christian and medieval sources on recognition and religion, it also offers contemporary applications of this underexplored combination. This is a timely book, as debates over religious identities, problematic forms of extremism and societal issues related with multiculturalism continue to dominate the media and politics. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of recognition studies as well as religious studies, theology, philosophy, and religious and intellectual history.

Functional foods improve health and can reduce the risk of different diseases. In this sense, a variety of bioactive compounds present in functional foods are able to modulate inflammatory responses or exhibit interesting bioactivities such as antihypertensive, antioxidants, anticancer, antimicrobials, anticariogenics, among others. There is a revalorization and mounting characterization on ancient grain crops of Latin America such as chia, amaranth, quinoa, Andean lupin, sacha inchi. This area also posseses a huge variety of native fruits such as camu camu, goldenberry, lucuma, which have health-promoting compounds. Native Crops in Latin America: Biochemical, Processing, and Nutraceutical Aspects explores recent investigations related to the potential use of the native crops as sources of bioactive compounds (proteins, hydrolysates, peptides, antioxidants, essential lipids, dietary fiber, pre- and probiotics) and as ingredients in functional foods. Key Features: Contributes to increasing knowledge of Latin American crops Contains information of various native crops and nutraceutical potentiality Discusses characterization of their by-products Explores revaluation and food application for enrichment food matricesThis book contains recent findings impacting research in subjects such as cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems, gut microbiota, delivery systems, product development, and gastronomy. Such information on Latin American crops may significantly influence the well-being, health, and nutrition of consumers. This will be a useful resource for food scientists, food technologists, nutritionists, ingredient manufacturers, and health care professionals, and relevent knowledge for any University’s Food Science department.

Media and Ethnic Identity carries a Native American perspective to media and its role in ethnic identity construction. This perspective is gained through a case study of the Hopis, who live in northeast Arizona and are known for their devotion to their indigenous culture.The research data is built on a number of interviews with Hopis of a variety of ages from nine villages. The study also makes use of the results of a survey of a large number of students in the Hopi Jr./Sr. High School. The framework for examining the research data is intercultural communication (both interpersonal and media-mediated) between an indigenous group and a majority from the viewpoint of the indigenous group. This book provides tools for understanding the experiences of communication between social and political minorities and majorities from the indigenous perspective.

In response to the growing importance of power system security and reliability, Transmission Grid Security proposes a systematic and probabilistic approach for transmission grid security analysis. The analysis presented uses probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) and takes into account the power system dynamics after severe faults. In the method shown in this book the power system states (stable, not stable, system breakdown, etc.) are connected with the substation reliability model. In this way it is possible to: estimate the system-wide consequences of grid faults;identify a chain of events that might lead to blackout; andrank the importance of different substation components at the system level.Transmission Grid Security also presents the main features and basic mathematics of PSA. It provides the reader with up-to-date knowledge of the regulatory issues affecting the security of transmission grids in Europe.Transmission Grid Security gives a practical method for the security analysis of transmission grids, making it a valuable text for engineers and system operators, as well as postgraduate students. It includes basic information and detailed modules for creating a reliability model that takes into account all the basic operations and components needed after grid faults.

Allusions are often translated literally while their connotative and pragmatic meaning is largely ignored. This frequently leads to culture bumps, in other words, to puzzling or impenetrable wordings. Culture Bumps discusses this problem and how to deal with a culture-specific, source-text allusion in such a way that readers of the target text can understand the function and meaning of the allusive passage. The main focus is on translators and readers as active participants in the communicative process, and the book contains interviews with professional translators as well as empirical data on the responses of real readers. Examples provide teachers who want to take up the problem in translation classes with materials from contemporary English texts, both fiction and non-fiction, as well as a flowchart of translation strategies. The conclusion recommends that translators should take the needs of readers into account when choosing translation strategies for allusions, and that university-level language teaching and translator training should pay more attention to the biculturalisation of students

The children always played in the Giant's garden, but when he returned after years away, he said, 'What are you doing here?' and the children fled.'My own garden is my own garden,' said the Giant; 'anyone can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself.'Oscar Wilde's classic tale of compassion and forgiveness is one of the most beautiful stories in the English language.With magnificent illustrations by Ritva Voutila, this is a book for the whole family to treasure.

Simo Knuuttila was an influential philosopher, theologian, and historian of philosophy who conducted research on a variety of topics including modalities, emotions, perception, and change in different historical periods, from Ancient to Modern. His contribution to the study of modalities and emotions was groundbreaking and trendsetting with a lasting impact on the area. In this volume, a group of international scholars – all of whom worked directly with Knuuttila – elaborate on some of those topics, trying to understand the core interpretative ideas, the polemical aspects, and how to develop those interpretations in different authors and/or conceptual frameworks. The result is an unique volume that presents a broad range of perspectives on key topics in the history of philosophy in the last decades, both influenced and challenging the interpretations advocated by Knuuttila.

Sjukvårdsorganisationer är komplexa och innebär många utmaningar. Exempel på detta är långa vårdköer samt en stressig och oförutsägbar arbetsmiljö med pressade medarbetare som följd. Dessa problem beror ofta på att planeringen är kortsiktig och lokal. Produktionsstyrning i sjukvården – en väg framåt visar hur en nivåvis produktionsstyrning genom strukturerad planering kan skapa en stabilare och mer förutsägbar verksamhet. Boken använder teorier inom produktionslogistiken och visar hur dessa kan användas i sjukvården. Den innehåller också många praktiska exempel för att underlätta förståelse och tillämpning.Produktionsstyrning i sjukvården beskriver sjukvårdens flöden och hur dessa är beroende av varandra samt hur man kan skapa en organisation som är lätt att styra och planera. Boken diskuterar detaljerat hur behov, kapacitet och balansering på de olika styrningsnivåerna skapar en stabilt planerad daglig verksamhet. Den belyser också de praktiska metoder som krävs för att reducera variationernas störande effekter på planering och styrning, såväl i allmänhet som för de mest kritiska kapaciteterna i sjukvården i dag; operationssalar och vårdplatser.Produktionsstyrning i sjukvården är avsedd för utbildningar i logistik med inriktning på tjänsteproduktion, men kan även användas på omvårdnads- och medicinutbildningar. Den fungerar även som handbok för chefer och logistiker inom sjukvården.

Operativ styrning är en bok sammansatt av kapitel från tre böcker, nämligen Material- och produktionsstyrning, Produktionsekonomi och Produktions­styrning i sjukvården. Boken ger, på detta sätt, en tydlig och fokuserad bild av produktionsstyrning i såväl tillverknings­industri som tjänste­producerande verksamheter. Utöver detta ­beskriver den produktions­relaterade förbättringsåtgärder. Det finns fördelar och nackdelar med specialupplagor. Fördelarna är främst specialisering och minskad redundans. Nackdelarna ligger i att ­något av helheten går förlorat, det finns trots allt en tanke med allt som ingår i de underliggande böckerna. Läsare som vill veta mer om respektive område och därmed få en ökad känsla för helheten kan med fördel läsa mer i de tre böcker som utgör grunden för denna bok:Material- och produktionsstyrning av Mattsson & Jonsson: ”Med material- och produktionsstyrning menas planering, utveckling, samordning, ­organisation, styrning och kontroll av det tillverkande företagets materialflöden och resursflöden med utgångspunkt från dess produktionssystem … I den här boken behandlas material- och produktionsstyrning som ett sätt att åstadkomma effek­tiva och konkurrenskraftiga företag.”Produktionsekonomi av Olhager: ”… produktionsekonomi behandlar hushållning med ett industriföretags resurser. Den här boken ger en grundlig genomgång av både principer och metoder med både teoretiska och ­praktiska perspektiv.”Produktionsstyrning i sjukvården av Rosenbäck: ”… (boken) visar hur en nivåvis produktionsstyrning genom strukturerad planering kan skapa en stabilare och mer förutsägbar verksamhet. Boken använder teorier inom produktionslogistiken och visar hur dessa kan användas i sjukvården.”

En faktabaserad bildberättelse i sagans form om den röda stackmyran.  Långt inne i den stora myrstacken föds ett litet myrbarn. Barnet är mycket klent och man befarar att det inte kommer att överleva. Men tvärtom visar det sig att den lilla har oanade egenskaper, bland annat ett häpnadsväckande skrik. Den gamla erfarna barnsköterskan ger dock inte så mycket för den skrikande babyn inte förrän de luriga tjuvmyrorna är på väg att röva bort myrägg från barnkammaren. Då kommer den lilla myrans förfärliga skrik väl till pass
