The aim of this book is to provide one central resource for nurses within the adult spectrum of life-long congenital heart disease care who are seeking expert guidance for their practice, regardless of clinical setting. Over the past 50 years, advances in surgical techniques and medical therapies have drastically improved the number of congenital heart disease patients surviving into adulthood, with the result being that there are now more adults then children living with congenital heart disease. In the past three decades, recognition of this new cardiology subspecialty has given way to formalized programs, standards of care, and multidisciplinary expertise. Indeed Nursing care of adult pat...
The field of curriculum inquiry has grown rapidly over the last four decades resulting in many new forms of curriculum inquiry to be used as tools to answer unique curriculum-related research questions. There are few texts available that include concise descriptions and elements of curriculum inquiry methodologies and directed at enabling researchers to wisely choose a form of curriculum inquiry most appropriate for their study. Conceptual Analyses of Curriculum Inquiry Methodologies presents chapters that are each devoted to a particular form of inquiry, with a conceptual analysis of the methodology, its purpose(s), its utilization, structure, and organization, all written by scholars with ...
This book will offer ideas on how robots can be used as teachers' assistants to scaffold learning outcomes, where the robot is a learning agent in self-directed learning who can contribute to the development of key competences for today's world through targeted learning - such as engineering thinking, math, physics, computational thinking, etc. starting from pre-school and continuing to a higher education level. Robotization is speeding up at the moment in a variety of dimensions, both through the automation of work, by performing intellectual duties, and by providing support for people in everyday situations. There is increasing political attention, especially in Europe, on educational systems not being able to keep up with such emerging technologies, and efforts to rectify this. This edited volume responds to this attention, and seeks to explore which pedagogical and educational concepts should be included in the learning process so that the use of robots is meaningful from the point of view of knowledge construction, and so that it is safe from the technological and cybersecurity perspective.
Di piuma e di pietra si interroga sulla differenza tra monumento e memoriale e più in particolare come l'architettura e il progetto dello spazio possano contribuire alla costruzione e alla percezione della memoria. Il problema di dare "forma all'eterno" rappresenta un compito complesso e inesauribile che chiede al progettista lo sforzo di immaginare il contenuto simbolico e lo spazio tangibile dove i significati metafisici possano essere veicolati attraverso l'esperienza della forma costruita. Il testo si concentra sul memoriale come spazio architettonico restringendo la ricerca alla disciplina della composizione architettonica e identificando nell'opera di Bogdan Bogdanović (1922-2010) l'...

The study of earthquakes plays a key role in order to minimize human and material losses when they inevitably occur. Chapters in this book will be devoted to various aspects of earthquake research and analysis. The different sections present in the book span from statistical seismology studies, the latest techniques and advances on earthquake precursors and forecasting, as well as, new methods for early detection, data acquisition and interpretation. The topics are tackled from theoretical advances to practical applications.
Medical informatics has revolutionized healthcare in recent years, and one of the major challenges now faced by health professionals everywhere is the further improvement of healthcare by making more effective use of the data from biomedical informatics, not least for education and decision support. This book presents the 52 full papers (accepted from 95 initial submissions) delivered at the Special Topic Conference of the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI STC 2018), held in Zagreb, Croatia, on 15 and 16 October 2018. The EFMI STC is one of Europe`s leading conferences for the sharing of current professional and scientific knowledge in health informatics processes, and the topics covered here have been broadly divided into two sections; decision support and education. Offering an overview of current medical informatics research, this book will undoubtedly prove invaluable for the professional development of healthcare practitioners, as well as contributing to knowledge sustainability within the field of medical informatics.
