Performing the Northern Ireland Peace Process - Paul Dixon - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Performing the Northern Ireland Peace Process - Paul Dixon - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

"Performing the Northern Ireland Peace Process offers a nuanced and stimulating analysis which goes beyond standard explanations by exploring the motives and means used by those who made peace in Northern Ireland." (Professor Timothy White, Xavier University, USA) "Paul Dixon has produced an impressive and challenging book. Dixon defends the Northern Ireland peace process as a carefully-crafted, drawn-out episode in realist, pragmatic politics. However, he pulls few punches in highlighting the moral deceptions which have kept the process in play. Provocatively, Dixon also challenges a wide range of academic interpretations of the processes and their associated political prescriptions. Thoughtful and well-researched throughout, Performing the Northern Ireland Peace Process is an essential read for anyone interested in conflict management." (Professor Jon Tonge, University of Liverpool) "In this outstanding book, Dixon shows yet again the importance of the theatrical metaphor for Northern Ireland. More importantly still, he demonstrates that the adoption of a critically realist outlook actually enhances our capacity to think creatively about the political choices we face in international politics and the alternative policies and institutions we might construct." (Professor Adrian Little, The University of Melbourne) This book is exceptional in defending the ''dirty politics'' of the Northern Ireland peace process. Political actors in Britain, Ireland and the United States performed the peace process and used ''political skills'', often including deception and hypocrisy, in order to wind down the conflict and achieve accommodation. These political skills, it is argued, are often morally justifiable even as they are popularly condemned. The Northern Ireland peace process has been highly successful in reducing violence and an accurate understanding of its politics is an important contribution to international debates about managing conflict.

Hunger - Paul Robinson - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Hunger - Paul Robinson - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This work presents the adaptation of mentalization-based therapy for use in Eating Disorders (MBT-ED). The book starts with a presentation of the theoretical concept of mentalization and describes eating disorders from this perspective. This is followed by a discussion of the place of MBT-ED in eating disorders practice. MBT is first presented as the original model for borderline personality disorder, and then the model is further developed to address specific symptoms found in eating disorders, such as body image disturbance, restriction and purging. The original MBT model consists of outpatient treatment combined with individual and group psychotherapy, and psychoeducation in groups. The book then looks at supervision and training, and how an eating disorders team can develop a mentalizing focus. It goes on to describe the training required for practitioners to deliver individual and group MBT-ED and to supervise therapy. Lastly, it examines the implementation of the approach in different clinical settings, including inpatient services, and how management can be involved in negotiating barriers and taking advantage of enablers in the system. The authors have conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial and qualitative research in MBT-ED and have extensive experience in providing and supervising this novel therapy. MBT-ED is one of the few therapies for eating disorders that links theory of mind, and attachment and psychodynamic therapies and as such will be of great theoretical interest to a wide variety of clinicians and researchers.

Analysis - Jean Paul Penot - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Analysis - Jean Paul Penot - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This textbook covers the main results and methods of real analysis in a single volume. Taking a progressive approach to equations and transformations, this book starts with the very foundations of real analysis (set theory, order, convergence, and measure theory) before presenting powerful results that can be applied to concrete problems. In addition to classical results of functional analysis, differential calculus and integration, Analysis discusses topics such as convex analysis, dissipative operators and semigroups which are often absent from classical treatises. Acknowledging that analysis has significantly contributed to the understanding and development of the present world, the book further elaborates on techniques which pervade modern civilization, including wavelets in information theory, the Radon transform in medical imaging and partial differential equations in various mechanical and physical phenomena. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students, engineers as well as practitioners wishing to familiarise themselves with concepts and applications of analysis will find this book useful. With its content split into several topics of interest, the book’s style and layout make it suitable for use in several courses, while its self-contained character makes it appropriate for self-study.

The Virtual Hospital - Paul Grant - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

The Virtual Hospital - Paul Grant - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book describes the current picture of healthcare and how medicine can develop in the 21st century to provide traditional hospital services differently with the use of clinical-digital transformation. Technological and social developments are enabling doctors, patients, tech developers, entrepreneurs and policy makers to recognise that care delivery can be achieved in novel and interesting ways far from the classic bricks and mortar approach. There are multiple triggers for change including the ageing population, limitations of existing clinical capacity and the COVID pandemic, accelerating the use of remote technologies, along with patient demands and expectations being higher than ever. With the speed of development of so many new technologies, it is hard to keep track of them, plus there is a need to scrutinize their claims and true potential for significant improvements in care delivery. The increasing global emphasis on the use of ‘virtual wards’, a way of remotely monitoring patients in their own homes and freeing up hospital beds, raises questions about the use of such systems of care and how they may be prone to safety failures and higher costs. The rush to use them needs to be balanced with the right level of evaluation and assurance. The Virtual Hospital explores the many approaches by which traditional medical practice is changing and the potential for new technologies (everything from biohacking to AI) to disrupt the existing paradigm. The goal is to assess and challenge whether the claims for such developments are robust and beneficial, rather than merely praising how shiny and clever the future looks. Consequently, this book is of enormous value to all involved in the provision of care, from physicians, nurses and healthcare planners to data scientists and healthcare leaders in all clinical settings.

Stochastic Models for Time Series - Paul Doukhan - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Stochastic Models for Time Series - Paul Doukhan - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book presents essential tools for modelling non-linear time series. The first part of the book describes the main standard tools of probability and statistics that directly apply to the time series context to obtain a wide range of modelling possibilities. Functional estimation and bootstrap are discussed, and stationarity is reviewed. The second part describes a number of tools from Gaussian chaos and proposes a tour of linear time series models. It goes on to address nonlinearity from polynomial or chaotic models for which explicit expansions are available, then turns to Markov and non-Markov linear models and discusses Bernoulli shifts time series models. Finally, the volume focuses on the limit theory, starting with the ergodic theorem, which is seen as the first step for statistics of time series. It defines the distributional range to obtain generic tools for limit theory under long or short-range dependences (LRD/SRD) and explains examples of LRD behaviours. More general techniques (central limit theorems) are described under SRD; mixing and weak dependence are also reviewed. In closing, it describes moment techniques together with their relations to cumulant sums as well as an application to kernel type estimation.The appendix reviews basic probability theory facts and discusses useful laws stemming from the Gaussian laws as well as the basic principles of probability, and is completed by R-scripts used for the figures. Richly illustrated with examples and simulations, the book is recommended for advanced master courses for mathematicians just entering the field of time series, and statisticians who want more mathematical insights into the background of non-linear time series.

Police Use of Research Evidence - Paul Dawson - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Police Use of Research Evidence - Paul Dawson - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This brief takes the reader through a 10-year journey of seeking to embed Evidence Based Policing within one of the largest police forces in the world - the Metropolitan Police Service in London, England - from the inside . As a topic, Evidence Based Policing has generated considerable recent interest and academic discussion - although largely remains without a consistent guiding voice for police practitioners. The aim of the brief is to expand upon the current discussions and address this gap within the day-to-day reality of policing where translation of research is a routine part of the day job. The book is organised into three sections: the first explores receptivity to evidence, asking practitioners to locate where they are on a continuum of evidence based craftwork; the second presents the importance of programme integrity and effective implementation in police craft; and the final section explores the challenges in professionalising policing and offers a more nuanced discussion around what it really means to be evidenced based. Throughout the brief the authors promote an insider whole-force strategic approach in landing evidence into policing ''business as normal'' as opposed to an external academic or educated individual officer translation approach. Over the course of the monograph the authors draw upon their decade of experience providing case studies, toolkits, exercises, anecdotes and research experience as an inspiration for police practitioners both to practically support and inspire better evidence based working as part of the day job.
