Op zoek naar bescherming: Veranderingen in de zorg en de organisatie van de zorg in een kwetsbare samenleving
by F. HermansGemeenschappen, organisaties en zelfs hele landen moeten steeds meer energie steken in het inspelen op ontwikkelingen die voorheen voorbij hun horizon lagen. Inzicht in maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen is onontbeerlijk geworden. In Op zoek naar bescherming beschrijft Frank Hermans de maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen secularisering, democratisering, individualisering en informalisering en vertaalt hij deze naar de veranderingen in de verzorgingsstaat, de zorgvraag en de organisatie van zorg.Bij maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen wordt meestal niet in eerste instantie aan kwetsbaarheid en weerbaarheid gedacht, maar Hermans laat zien hoe wezenlijk de ontwikkelingen op dit gebied zijn. Hij bespreekt een verscheidenheid aan zorgarrangementen, die mensen hebben ontwikkeld of nog aan het ontwikkelen zijn om hun weerbaarheid tegen ingrijpende gebeurtenissen te vergroten. Daarbij is het meest vertrouwde collectieve arrangement de verzorgingsstaat.Hermans put in Op zoek naar bescherming uit zijn vakkennis als socioloog, recente vakliteratuur en jarenlange ervaring in het doceren van verpleegkundigen en leidinggevenden. Het boek is bedoeld voor professionals en studenten in de zorg en welzijn in brede zin. De invalshoek van kwetsbaarheid en bescherming maakt het boek ook geschikt om als inleiding te gebruiken voor mensen die te maken hebben met traumatische situaties, veiligheid en bescherming. Het is actueel, maar geeft ook historische diepgang, waardoor een visie op lange termijn en distantie van de waan van alledag mogelijk is.
Open Access and the Humanities: Contexts, Controversies and the Future (PDF)
by Martin EveIf you work in a university, you are almost certain to have heard the term 'open access' in the past couple of years. You may also have heard either that it is the utopian answer to all the problems of research dissemination or perhaps that it marks the beginning of an apocalyptic new era of 'pay-to-say' publishing. In this book, Martin Paul Eve sets out the histories, contexts and controversies for open access, specifically in the humanities. Broaching practical elements alongside economic histories, open licensing, monographs and funder policies, this book is a must-read for both those new to ideas about open-access scholarly communications and those with an already keen interest in the latest developments for the humanities. This title is also available as Open Access via Cambridge Books Online.
Open-Access, Multimodality, and Writing Center Studies
by Elisabeth H. BuckThe disciplinary triad of open-access, multimodality, and writing center studies presents a timely, critical lens for discussing academic publishing in a moment of crucibilic change, where rapid technological advancements force scholars and institutions to question what is produced and “counts” as academic writing. Using historiographic, quantitative, and qualitative analysis, Open-Access, Multimodality, and Writing Center Studies sees writing center scholarship as a microcosm of many of the larger issues at play in the contemporary academic publishing landscape. This case study approach reveals the complex, imbricated ways that questions about publishing manifest both within the content of journals, and as related to academics’ perceptions as signifiers of disciplinary visibility, identity, and transformation. More than just reaffirming the conventional wisdom about these changes in publishing—that these shifts are happening and we do not always know how to pinpoint them—Open-Access, Multimodality, and Writing Center Studies suggests that scholars in all fields, compositionists, and writing center practitioners be conscious of the ways they are complicit in maintaining barriers to accessibility and innovation.Chapter 5 of this book is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com.

Open and Distance Learning Today
by Fred LockwoodThe book presents a comprehensive account of research and development activities in open, ditance and flexible learning from acknowledged experts from around the world. The use of open, distance and flexible learning materials is expanding dramatically, not just in schools, further and higher education but also in industry, commerce and the social services. Most higher education institutions now have an open learning unit or educational development centre, and major organisations such as british Steel, National Westminster Bank, Leeds Building Society, Rover Cars and the Inland Revenue have formed units to develop teaching and training materials. Internationally, growth is even more impressive, with new open universities planned for Singapore, Bangladesh, South Africa and india, whist those in Malaysia, Thailand and Australia continue to expand. But current and future practice must be based on research evidence rather than intuition. With contributions from all the leading names in this field, this book will be a key sourcbook for teachers, trainers and students.

The Open Book: Stories of Academic Life and Writing or Where We Know Things (Imagination and Praxis: Criticality and Creativity in Education and Educational Research)
by Ninna Meier Charlotte CharlotteThe Open Book is a radical genre blend: it is an experimental co-memoir exploring the role of writing in academia. It contains stories about life without censoring and without distinguishing between traditional work/life domains and academic/non-academic ways of writing. This is done through discussions of conferences, research collaborations, supervision, taboo pleasures of ‘fun’ writing projects, the temptations of other work, and the everyday life encounters and experiences that stimulate academic thought and writing. Some of the main characters you will meet are researchers, their colleagues and students, sons and daughters, mothers and grandmothers, husbands (past and present), supervisors, pets, old and new friends, and creatures from myths and dreams. Some of the settings include kitchens, fireplaces, couches, gardens, universities, cars, and trains. These characters and places are all there to help examine what the above elements of an ordinary human life might mean in research and for research. Thus, it becomes possible for you as a reader to recognize the stories as both truly human and genuinely academic. This is the first book in a series of publications and projects from the Open Writing Community: a collaboration of academics from different disciplines and countries that seeks to push the boundaries of how we understand and practice academic work and writing.

The Open Classroom: Distance Learning in Schools (Open and Flexible Learning Series)
by Jo BradleyThe 'e-revolution' that has swept the higher and further education sector over the last decade is now starting to make a real impact in school level teaching and learning around the world. There is a rapidly growing interest in, and demand for open and distance learning solutions for schools, not only in terms of improving access (for example, for the children of travellers, or for those in geographically remote areas) but also in terms of improving pedagogy for more 'conventional' teaching, by offering teachers, parents and pupils greater support and access to learning materials and resources. This ground-breaking book, with contributions from around the world including the UK, US, New Zealand, Canada and India, looks at the key areas of development in this new field, provides best practice examples and inspiring case studies and will increase the awareness of the opportunities and challenges in this potentially huge field.

Open Conversations: Public Learning in Libraries and Museums
by David CarrCultural institutions must reimagine their roles as education facilities for their communities and address the public need for conversations in safe and fair places, thereby renewing their essential place in democratic society. This book explains how.Open Conversations: Public Learning in Libraries and Museums is a provocative book, one that is designed to offer courage to cultural institution administrators and staff even as it opens their eyes to the possibility that their facilities can offer more than they are. Rather than offering prescriptive answers, the author invites readers to consider museums and libraries in fresh ways.Author David Carr believes professionals in libraries and museums need to think more broadly. He challenges them to address communities, national social change, psychology, and learning, and to think about ways to frame their institutions, not as repositories or research chambers, but as instruments for human thinking. Now is the time for these institutions to recover their integrity and purpose as fundamental, informing structures in a struggling democracy. Based on lectures and previously published writings by the author, and drawing on new scholarship and research, the essays here will inspire professionals to understand their collections and institutions as instruments of personal, social, and cultural change.

Open Data for Sustainable Community: Glocalized Sustainable Development Goals (Advances in Sustainability Science and Technology)
by Neha Sharma Santanu Ghosh Monodeep SahaThis book is an attempt to bring value to the enterprise pursuits in the areas of research and innovation around the specific issues in terms of topic selection, open data resources and researcher orientation. Over the last 300 years, industrial revolutions have had game-changing impact on societies. Presently, by and large, we are at the crossroads of the fourth industrial revolution, where phygital systems are going to play a massive role, where digital systems can simulate and go beyond the limitations of the physical world, thereby enabling a new world order. This transformation is cutting across every sphere known to mankind. The world will become a globally localized marketplace. In today’s business world, sustainability is a corporate agenda. Enterprises are also aiming to be purpose-driven, adaptive and resilient to disruptions. The contributions to community and environment are part of their corporate branding. The book explores and presents a part of the open data sets from government institutions to achieve the sustainable goals at local level, in turn contributing towards global mission. As the topic suggests, the authors are looking at some of the specific issues in the areas of environment, agriculture and health care through the lens of data science. The authors believe that the above three areas chosen have deep relevance in today’s world. The intent is to explore these issues from a data and analytics perspective and identify cracks through which deeper inroads can be made. Conscious efforts have been taken to make use of all the major data science techniques like prediction, classification, clustering, and correlation. Given the above background, deeper waters will be explored through the contents of this book.
