Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Modelling
This book explains how to employ MASEM, the combination of meta-analysis (MA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). It shows how by using MASEM, a single model can be tested to explain the relationships between a set of variables in several studies. This book gives an introduction to MASEM, with a focus on the state of the art approach: the two stage approach of Cheung and Cheung & Chan. Both, the fixed and the random approach to MASEM are illustrated with two applications to real data. All steps that have to be taken to perform the analyses are discussed extensively. All data and syntax files are available online, so that readers can imitate all analyses. By using SEM for meta-analysis, this book shows how to benefit from all available information from all available studies, even if few or none of the studies report about all relationships that feature in the full model of interest.
Becoming Good Women
For female Sinhalese students attending a national school in the Central Province of Sri Lanka, the school serves as a significant base for cultural production, particularly in reproducing ethno-religious hegemony under the guise of ‘good’ Buddhist girls. It illustrates that tuition space acts as an important site for placemaking, where students play out their cosmopolitan aspirations whilst acquiring educational capital. Drawing on theories of social reproduction, the book examines young people’s aspirations of ‘figuring out’ their identity and visions of the future in the backdrop of nation-building processes within the school.
Measurement Invariance
Multi-item surveys are frequently used to study scores on latent factors, like human values, attitudes and behavior. Such studies often include a comparison, between specific groups of individuals, either at one or multiple points in time. If such latent factor means are to be meaningfully compared, the measurement structures including the latent factor and their survey items should be stable across groups and/or over time, that is ‘invariant’. Recent developments in statistics have provided new analytical tools for assessing measurement invariance (MI). The aim of this special issue is to provide a forum for a discussion of MI, covering some crucial ‘themes’: (1) ways to assess and ...
Globalisation, Geopolitics, and Gender in Professional Communication
This edited collection investigates the linguistics of globalisation, geopolitics and gender in workplace cultures in a range of different contemporary international settings. The chapters examine how issues of globalisation, gender and geopolitics affect professionals in different workplace contexts, including domestic workers; IT professionals; teachers, university staff; engineers; entrepreneurs; CEOs of different corporates including locally based businesses as well as multinationals; farmers; co-operative leaders; NGO leaders; bloggers; healthcare assistants and caregivers. Taking different sociolinguistic approaches to exploring language and the geopolitics of gender at work in Dubai, ...
Multilevel Analysis
Applauded for its clarity, this accessible introduction helps readers apply multilevel techniques to their research. The book also includes advanced extensions, making it useful as both an introduction for students and as a reference for researchers. Basic models and examples are discussed in nontechnical terms with an emphasis on understanding the methodological and statistical issues involved in using these models. The estimation and interpretation of multilevel models is demonstrated using realistic examples from various disciplines including psychology, education, public health, and sociology. Readers are introduced to a general framework on multilevel modeling which covers both observed and latent variables in the same model, while most other books focus on observed variables. In addition, Bayesian estimation is introduced and applied using accessible software.

Uranova
Oryginalna, przekraczająca granice gatunkowe i kipiąca pomysłami radioaktywna powieść. Angela w sierpniu 1968 roku wyjeżdża do Czechosłowacji, aby odwiedzić rodzinę swojego ojca. Ostatnią rzeczą, jaką jej narzeczony Henry słyszy od niej przez telefon, jest słowo „chleb”. Potem dziewczyna dosłownie zapada się pod ziemię. Wiele lat później Henry postanawia zmierzyć się z traumą i odwiedza Jachymów – miasto uzdrowisk, uranu i brutalnych obozów dla więźniów politycznych. „Uranova” to niezwykła narracyjna przygoda, w której zjawiska paranormalne towarzyszą rzeczywistości, elementy fantastyki mieszają się z horrorem i są okraszone solidną dawką absurdu. Doceniona przez czytelników oraz krytyków książka Lenki Elbe otrzymała nagrodę Magnesia Litera (najważniejszą literacką nagrodę w Czechach) za debiut roku.
Meta-Analysis
Presents a novel approach to conducting meta-analysis using structural equation modeling. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and meta-analysis are two powerful statistical methods in the educational, social, behavioral, and medical sciences. They are often treated as two unrelated topics in the literature. This book presents a unified framework on analyzing meta-analytic data within the SEM framework, and illustrates how to conduct meta-analysis using the metaSEM package in the R statistical environment. Meta-Analysis: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach begins by introducing the importance of SEM and meta-analysis in answering research questions. Key ideas in meta-analysis and SEM are b...
Atomka
Další případ komisaře Francka Sharka a Lucie Henebelleové Těsně před Vánoci je nalezeno tělo novináře v mrazáku. Stal se Christophe Gamblin obětí sériového vraha, kterého sám odhalil? Jedná o stejného zabijáka, který hodil své oběti do ledových alpských vod? Právě ve sněhem pokrytých Alpách hledají Lucie Henebelleová a Franck Sharko informace, které by je přivedly na vrahovu stopu. Objev Gamblinových poznámek je zavede až na kliniku, která se specializuje na využití hypotermie při operacích srdce. Jenže je vrah je už zase o krok dále...
