Seasonal Adjustment Without Revisions A Real-Time Approach - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Preface In the 1980s, the first author was asked for information about profit prospects of a number of companies, in order to predict the change of their prices on the stock market. He looked up annual reports and recent interim results of these companies and noted that interim results consisted largely of a comparison of recent quarterly results to those of the same quarter of the preceding year. Moreover, stock prices reacted instantly to the outcomes of these comparisons. He was struck by the fact that these outcomes were frequently predictable: If there had been an up or down in the preceding year’s quarterly result, this would affect the comparison to the recent quarter. If last year’s ups or downs had been large, such as a profit on the sale of a construc- tion, or a depreciation of goodwill, these would be referred to in the comparison of the present quarterly report and would not come as a surprise and have little or no impact on stock prices. But if the market had become used to rising quarterly profits of Company X to the tune of say 1% over the preceding year, then an increment of ‘only’ 0.5% in the recent quarter would have a negative impact on the stock prices. Yet, this slight reduction in the profit’s increment may have its cause not in the present quarter, but in the preceding year or in the preceding few quarters. But then it is predictable
Assistive Technologies and Environmental Interventions in Healthcare - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The changes we have all seen in technology and corre spondingly with assistive technology in the past 10 years are mind‐boggling. Futurist and inventor Ray Kurzweil (2000) stated early in the twenty‐first century that com puters are 100 million times more powerful than they were 50 years ago. The exponential growth of computer capacity that Kurzweil and others predicted in the late 1990s continues to advance and has the potential for improving all aspects of life (Diamandis and Kotler 2014). These exponential changes in technology make it hard to keep up with the latest innovations. For example, one of the chapter authors worked in an assistive technology laboratory in which serial port add‐ons to computers evolved into Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports rendering the former connections and their attachments obsolete within in less than five years. Currently, com puters no longer come with disk drives and all of the software one needs to load on the computer comes from the cloud. Vicente (2006) stated, “... more and more technology is being foisted upon us at a faster and faster pace” (p. 13). In addition, technology is clearly a necessary part of our lives. For many of us, it is difficult to remember a time when cell phones, laptops, or navigation devices were not available to those who could afford it. Furthermore, the convergence of multiple technologies into a single, small, handheld device such as a smart phone is common as part of our work and personal experiences
The Sociology of Zygmunt Bauman - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: ''The Sociology of Zygmunt Bauman'' introduces and critically appraises some of the most significant as well as some of the lesser known and overlooked of Bauman's contributions to contemporary sociology: ethics, freedom, utopia, genocide, metaphors, ambivalence, politics, strangers, globalization, power and consumerism. In this collection, an international team of scholars delineates and discusses how Bauman's treatment of these themes challenges conventional wisdom in sociology,
Internal family systems therapy - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: My clients deserve most of the credit for this model, and yet I cannot thank them publicly by name. Often my role has been simply that of a journalist, recording the extrordinary things they discovered and re- ported to me. I can never fully appreciate the courage it took for many of them to enter and remain in what sometimes seemed an inner chamber of horrors or abyss of despair. They also taught me about my own inner world and how to live in it differently. I recommend that all therapists allow their clients to mentor them in the practice of psychotherapy and the living of life; it is an enlightening and transforming experience. The colleagues, students, and workshop participants who have influ- enced the model, sometimes by simply mentioning a book or a method or by challenging an idea or technique that I had reified, are numerous. Some among them have devoted much of their professional energy to the model's development and have made special contributions. Deborah Gorman- Smith has been a partner in exploration over the past several years. Her sensitivity to issues facing survivors of sex abuse and to the therapist-client relationship have enriched the model enormously, and her relentless skepticism has kept the model grounded. Regina Goulding has spent countless hours discussing the model with me, helping to clarify and focus it. Ann Womack's clinical creativity has contributed ideas and techniques from the very beginning, and her pioneering efforts in applying it to medical problems have been inspiring. Working with Rich Simon on various projects has challenged and shaped my thinking and writing, adding clarity and depth; in addition, he generously allowed me to use in this book several excerpts of articles I wrote for the Family Therapy Networker. Mike Nichols's advice, editing and support have also been invaluable. My all-too-short time working with Bart Mann was extremely generative, as have been recent discussions with Teresa Jacobson.
Medical Family Therapy: Advanced Applications - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: “High praise to Hodgson, Lamson, Mendenhall, and Crane and in creating a seminal work for systemic researchers, educators, supervisors, policy makers and financial experts in health care. The comprehensiveness and innovation explored by every author reflects an in depth understanding that reveals true pioneers of integrated health care. Medical Family Therapy: Advances in Application will lead the way for Medical Family Therapists in areas just now being acknowledged and explored.” - Tracy Todd, PhD, LMFT, Executive Director of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Integrated, interdisciplinary health care is growing in stature and gaining in numbers. Systems and payers are facilitating it. Patients and providers are benefitting from it. Research is supporting it, and policymakers are demanding it. The emerging field of Medical Family Therapy (MedFT) is contributing greatly to these developments and MedicalFamilyTherapy: Advanced Applications examines its implementation in depth. Leading experts describe MedFT as it is practiced today, the continuum of services provided, the necessary competencies for practitioners, and the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of health that the specialty works to integrate. Data-rich chapters model core concepts such as the practitioner as scientist, the importance of context in health care settings, collaboration with families and communities, and the centrality of the relational perspective in treatment. And the book's wide-spectrum coverage takes in research, training, financial, and policy issues, among them: Preparing MedFTs for the multiple worlds of health care Extending platforms on how to build relationships in integrated care Offering a primer in program evaluation for MedFTs Ensuring health equity in MedFT research Identifying where policy and practice collide with ethics and integrated care Recognizing the cost-effectiveness of family therapy in health care With its sophisticated insights into the current state – and the future – of healthcare reform, MedicalFamilyTherapy: Advanced Applications is essential reading for researchers and practitioners in the fields of clinical psychology, counseling, family therapy, healthcare policy, psychiatric nursing, psychiatry, public health, and social work.
