A Rational Approach to Clinical Infectious Diseases: A Manual for House Officers and Other Non-Infectious Diseases Clinicians
by Zelalem Temesgen Larry M. Baddour Stacey RizzaWritten specifically for non-infectious disease specialists in both inpatient and outpatient settings, A Rational Approach to Clinical Infectious Diseases provides concise, practical guidance that mimics the decision-making process and reasoning employed by an ID physician. Using clear, understandable language, Dr. Zelalem Temesgen and his esteemed colleagues at the Mayo Clinic present the art and the context of infectious diseases together with the science, helping non-specialists apply a rational approach to the diagnosis and treatment of infectious conditions. Clearly explains the rationale of opting for one particular treatment or length of course over another in order to arrange appropriate management and follow-up. Provides focused ID decision support to questions such as: What diagnostic test should I order? What is the correct antibiotic for this patient/geographical region? Are IV or oral antibiotics most appropriate? How long should the antibiotic course be and when should it be de-escalated? What special considerations should be taken in immunocompromised patients? How often should complex infections be followed up? Uses a succinct, easy-to-read writing style, following a consistent format: Important characteristics/epidemiology; Clinical related data; Rash characteristics; Ancillary diagnostic studies; Treatment; and Other. Provides visual and quick-reference support with dozens of figures and tables throughout the text. Contains invaluable guidance to help non-specialists provide the best care for patients, stem antibiotic misuse and resistance, avoid adverse drug events, and avoid unnecessary costs.

Rational Numbers: An Integration of Research (Studies in Mathematical Thinking and Learning Series)
by Thomas P. Carpenter Elizabeth Fennema Thomas A. RombergUntil recently there had been relatively little integration of programs of research on teaching, learning, curriculum, and assessment. However, in the last few years it has become increasingly apparent that a more unified program of research is needed to acquire an understanding of teaching and learning in schools that will inform curriculum development and assessment. The chapters in this volume represent a first step toward an integration of research paradigms in one clearly specified mathematical domain. Integrating a number of different research perspectives is a complex task, and ways must be found to reduce the complexity without sacrificing the integration. The research discussed in this volume is tied together because it deals with a common content strand. During the last ten years specific content domains have served as focal points for research on the development of mathematical concepts in children. The areas of addition and subtraction, algebra, rational numbers, and geometry are notable examples. Whether a similar organizational structure will prevail for programs of research that integrate the study of teaching, learning, curriculum, and assessment is an open question. The perspectives presented in this volume illustrate the potential for adopting this perspective.

Rationing Education (UK Higher Education OUP Humanities & Social Sciences Education OUP)
by David Gillborn Deborah Youdell"This research should make us extremely sceptical that the constant search for 'higher standards' and for ever-increasing achievement scores can do much more than put in place seemingly neutral devices for restratification." - Michael W Apple, John Bascom Professor of Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Policy Studies, University of Wisconsin, MadisonRecent educational reforms have raised standards of achievement but have also resulted in growing inequalities based on 'race' and social class. School-by-school 'league tables' play a central role in the reforms. These have created an A-to-C economy where schools and teachers are judged on the proportion of students attaining five or more grades at levels A-to-C. To satisfy these demands schools are embracing new and ever more selective attempts to identify 'ability'. Their assumptions and practices embody a new IQism: a simple , narrow and regressive ideology of intelligence that labels working class and minority students as likely failures and justifies rationing provision to support those (often white, middle class boys) already marked for success.This book reports detailed research in two secondary schools showing the real costs of reform in terms of the pressures on teachers and the rationing of educational opportunity. It will be important reading for any teacher, researcher or policymaker with an interest in equality in education.

Rattling Chains: Exploring Social Justice in Education (Transgressions #89)
by Louis G. Denti Patricia A. WhangRattling Chains: Exploring Social Justice in Education, is the first book to provide an opportunity to intentionally and deeply grapple with the insights, perceptions, and provocations offered by a rich array of prominent and influential voices in the field of education. The first part of the title, Rattling Chains, signifies the importance of keeping the issue of social justice reverberating in the minds of readers, while also working to unchain thinking from entrenched beliefs and unchallenged assumptions. More specifically, this collection of essays “shakes and rattles” by providing a variety of vantage points from which to wallow in the complex, tangled, and simultaneously revered and contested notion of social justice. It is hoped that mucking around in the thinking, perspectives, and actions of a variety of educational scholars challenges entrenched beliefs while unearthing provocative insights. Exploring issues of social justice from various standpoints is intended to lead to a more complex understanding of justice that is social, as well as its possibilities, potency, and resultant tensions.
Raum für Inklusion: Schule als Lernort für Alle gestalten und nutzen (Forschungsreihe der FH Münster)
by Jeanne Lengersdorf Anna HagemannDer Raum gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung. Gerade in Zeiten des pädagogischen Wandels und mit der Unterzeichnung der UN-Konvention über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderung rückt konstruktivistisch, inklusiv ausgelegte Didaktik in den Vordergrund schulischer Entwicklungen.

Raum, Zeit, Medienbildung: Untersuchungen zu medialen Veränderungen unseres Verhältnisses zu Raum und Zeit (Medienbildung und Gesellschaft #23)
by Gerhard Chr. Bukow Benjamin Jörissen Johannes FrommeTransformationen und Dynamisierung von Raum und Zeit können als Signum von Modernisierungsprozessen gelten – als Motor, als Problemfeld und als Gegenstand der Reflexion. Medien haben in verschiedenen Ausprägungen daran erheblichen Anteil, indem sie mit Raum und Zeit arbeiten, kulturelle und soziale Raum- und Zeitverhältnisse verändern und diese Veränderungen auch immer wieder selbst reflexiv zugänglich machen. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes fragen danach, was diese medialen Transformationen und Reflexionen für Bildung bedeuten, wie sie Subjektivierungs- oder Vergesellschaftungsweisen verändern und welche neuen Orientierungspotenziale und -anforderungen durch sie erzeugt werden.
Räume in der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung (Theorie und Empirie Lebenslangen Lernens)
by Wolfgang Seitter Timm C. FeldDie Raumthematik ist für die abschlussbezogene wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung in besonderer Weise virulent, da ihr berufs- und familienbegleitender Charakter zu spezifischen Herausforderungen und Effizienzerwartungen räumlich-distributiver Art auf unterschiedlichen didaktischen Ebenen führt. Dieser Sammelband fokussiert entsprechende Fragestellungen wie die Lokalisierung und lehr-/lernkulturelle Rahmung von Räumlichkeiten und den raumbezogenen Wechsel von Präsenz- und Onlinephasen sowie die Bedeutsamkeit des Selbststudiums und seiner lebensweltlichen Verortung. Thematisiert wird aber auch die Öffnung des hochschulischen Raums für neue Zielgruppen oder die institutionelle Einwurzelung der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung als reguläres Angebotssegment von Hochschulen.

Raus aus der Konfliktspirale: Unsere Konflikte - Und wie wir sie lösen
by Andrea Hartmann-PiraudeauDas Thema Konfliktspirale und was passiert mit uns, wenn wir im Konflikt stecken, fasziniert alle gleichermaßen. Die Reaktion ist dann Nachdenklichkeit und Selbstreflektion. Jeder hat eigene Konflikte und deshalb ist uns das Thema nahe. Konflikte sind in der Regel belastend und deshalb wünschen wir uns Erklärungen und Auswege. Welche Dynamik nehmen Konflikte an und wie entwickeln sie sich? Was passiert mit uns, wenn wir in die Konfliktspirale eintreten. Wie verändert sich unser Denken, unsere Sicht auf die Dinge und unsere Interessen? Was macht der Konflikt mit uns und wie kommen wir wieder heraus aus dem Strudel? Darüber handelt dieses Buch. Es basiert auf wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen aus der Psychologie und der Konfliktforschung.
Rauschkonstruktionen: Eine qualitative Interviewstudie zur Konstruktion von Drogenrauschwirklichkeit
by Svenja KorteRausch und Drogengebrauch werden im hegemonialen Diskurs meist als Symptom für Sucht und Flucht negativ konstruiert. Dabei stellt sich jedoch beim näheren Betrachten des Rauschdiskurses ein durchaus interessantes Spannungsfeld dar: Auf der einen Seite erfährt das Thema Drogen und Rausch eine problematisierende Bewertung im herrschenden Diskurs und auf der anderen Seite wird der Rausch mit Hilfe von (legalen und illegalen) Drogen durch das Subjekt scheinbar doch immer wieder gesucht. Svenja Korte analysiert das Konstrukt Rausch, dessen Ausgestaltung, Bewertungen und Vorstellungen, die es bestimmen sowie die Funktionalität, die es erfährt.
Ravel the Decadent: Memory, Sublimation, and Desire
by Michael J. PuriThe music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937), beloved by musicians and audiences since its debut, has been a difficult topic for scholars. The traditional stylistic categories of impressionism, symbolism, and neoclassicism, while relevant, have offered too little purchase on this fascinating but enigmatic work. In Ravel the Decadent, author Michael Puri provides an innovative and productive solution by locating the aesthetic origins of this music in the French Decadence and demonstrating the extension of this influence across the length of his oeuvre. From an array of Decadent topics Puri selects three--memory, sublimation, and desire--and uses them to delineate the content of this music, pinpoint its overlap with contemporary cultural discourse, and link it to its biographical context, as well as to create new methods altogether for the analysis and interpretation of music. Ravel the Decadent opens by defining the main concepts, giving particular attention to memory and decadence. It then stakes out contrasting modes of memory in this music: a nostalgic mode that views the past as forever lost, and a more optimistic one that imagines its resurrection and reanimation. Acknowledging Ravel's lifelong identity as a dandy--a figure that embodies the Decadence and its aspiration toward the sublime--Puri identifies possible moments of musical self-portraiture before stepping back to theorize dandyism in European musical modernism at large. He then addresses the dialectic between desire and its sublimation in the pairing of two genres--the bacchanal and the idyl--and leverages the central trio of concepts to offer provocative readings of Ravel's two waltz sets, the Valses nobles et sentimentales and La valse. Puri concludes by invoking the same terms to identify a topic of "faun music" that promises to create new common ground between Ravel and Debussy. Rife with close readings that will satisfy the musicologist, Ravel the Decadent also suits a more general reader through its broadly humanistic key concepts, immersion in contemporary art and literature, and clarity of language.

Ravished by Beauty: The Surprising Legacy of Reformed Spirituality
by Belden C. LaneIn this novel exploration of Reformed spirituality, Belden C. Lane uncovers a "green theology" that celebrates a community of jubilant creatures of all languages and species. Lane reveals an ecologically sensitive Calvin who spoke of himself as ''ravished'' by the earth's beauty. He speaks of Puritans who fostered a ''lusty'' spirituality in which Christ figured as a lover who encouraged meditation on the wonders of creation. He presents a Jonathan Edwards who urged a sensuous ''enjoyment'' of God's beauty as the only real way of knowing God. Lane argues for the ''double irony'' of Reformed spirituality, showing that Calvinists who often seem prudish and proper are in fact a people of passionate desire. Similarly, Reformed Christians who appear totally focused on divine transcendence turn out at times to be closet nature mystics, exulting in God's glory everywhere. Lane also demonstrates, however, that a spirituality of desire can be derailed, ending in sexual excess and pantheism. Ecologically, holy longing can be redirected from a contemplation of God's splendor in the earth's beauty to a craving for land itself, resulting in disastrous misuse of its resources. Between the major chapters of the book are engaging personal essays drawn from the author's own love of nature as a Reformed Christian, and providing a thoughtful discussion of contemporary issues of species diversity and the honoring of an earth community.

Raw Data: A Novel on Life in Science
by Pernille RørthChloe and Karen are ambitious and independent-minded young scientists, both trying to make their mark in the competitive world of biomedical science. They work in Tom Palmer’s lab at a top-tier research institute in the US. Life in the lab is full of excitement and passion, but also frustrations, jealousy and the fear of being scooped. When honesty and scientificintegrity are questioned in the context of a paper accepted at a prestigious journal, all are deeply affected and everyone must decide what actions to take to save their careers.The primary intent of this novel is to draw the reader into the lives of scientists and show what makes people of this profession – or vocation – “tick”. Full of smart, driven, enthusiastic, and yet fallible, individuals, the story portrays the fascinating world of top-level science. It illuminates motivations behind disastrous events that can emerge when ambitions clash with the way science is supposed to work.The novel is complemented by an extensive interview with the author on defining features of contemporary bio-medical research: the challenges of turning discovery into publications (“publish or perish”), peer review, women in science and, of course, scientific misconduct. The latter has garnered growing attention lately, including high-profile stories in the popularpress, and is a source of concerns for scientists, funders and publishers alike.About the author: Pernille Rørth holds a PhD in cell biology and genetics. She has led research labs at top institutions in the US, in Europe and in Asia, including the Carnegie Institution for Science (Dept. Embryology) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). With 25 years as an active scientist, she is senior author of numerous research articles, including some in the most prestigious journals in biology. She also served as Executive Editor (Editor-in-Chief) of The EMBO Journal for 5 years. This is her first novel. She now lives in Copenhagen with her husband, also a scientist.
