Healthy Learners A Whole Child Approach to Reducing Disparities in Early Education


Free Download Robert Crosnoe, Claude Bonazzo, Nina Wu, "Healthy Learners: A Whole Child Approach to Reducing Disparities in Early Education"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 0807757098 | PDF | pages: 169 | 1.6 mb
The early childhood field has long understood that targeting the intersection of health and learning is integral to serving children, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Yet this developmentally informed educational philosophy has been jeopardized by an increased emphasis on standards-based accountability. In this book, the authors explain why healthy learning is good for children, schools, and society, and they suggest concrete ways to make it happen. Moving back and forth between national statistics and the intimate voices of parents, teachers, and service providers in a large urban school district, they formulate an action plan for educating the whole child and reducing educational inequities. While the book covers a broad spectrum of American children, special attention is given to the growing population of Mexican immigrant children. Chapters include: Issues to Ponder, Keywords, Take-Home Messages, and Next Questions.

Geriatric Medicine an evidence-based approach


Free Download Christine Roffe, "Geriatric Medicine: an evidence-based approach"
English | ISBN: 0199689644 | 2014 | 180 pages | EPUB | 790 KB
People are living longer and the population over the age of 60 is burgeoning, with repercussions for health services and healthcare expenditure in developed countries. Crucially, disease aetiology, diagnosis, and treatment in older people differ from the general adult population. Older people often have complicated co-morbidities and respond to treatment in different ways compared to younger people. Evidence of efficacy of different treatments is often lacking because older people are under-represented in clinical trials, and the specific needs of older people are rarely discussed specifically in more general texts. Geriatric medicine: an evidence based approach is a clinical reference for health care professionals who manage older patients, and summarizes up-to-date research literature in a style that can be directly applied by busy healthcare professionals and provide a useful resource for reference.

Formalization of the Informal Economy An e-Government Approach


Free Download Colin C. Williams, "Formalization of the Informal Economy: An e-Government Approach "
English | ISBN: 3031379306 | 2023 | 132 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This Brief provides a cutting-edge evaluation of the application of digital technologies to tackle the informal economy. Employing institutional theory to explain the informal economy, this book reveals that the informal economy arises when formal institutional failings trigger a gap between the formal rules of the game and social norms. Chapters outline how use of digital technologies by public authorities, such as tax, social security and labor authorities, can alter social norms so that they accord with the formal rules of the game and generate a formalization of the informal economy. Setting out the e-government tools that can improve the relationship between businesses, employers, workers and citizens, and government, this book will be essential reading for academics and advanced students studying development economics, labor economics, public economics, behavioral economics, economic sociology and institutional economics as well as for government policymakers working in related fields.

Deep Learning Models A Practical Approach for Hands-On Professionals


Free Download Deep Learning Models: A Practical Approach for Hands-On Professionals by Jonah Gamba
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 211 Pages | ISBN : 9819996716 | 67.5 MB
This book focuses on and prioritizes a practical approach, minimizing theoretical concepts to deliver algorithms effectively. With deep learning emerging as a vibrant field of research and development in numerous industrial applications, there is a pressing need for accessible resources that provide comprehensive examples and quick guidance. Unfortunately, many existing books on the market tend to emphasize theoretical aspects, leaving newcomers scrambling for practical guidance. This book takes a different approach by focusing on practicality while keeping theoretical concepts to a necessary minimum. The book begins by laying a foundation of basic information on deep learning, gradually delving into the subject matter to explain and illustrate the limitations of existing algorithms. A dedicated chapter is allocated to evaluating the performance of multiple algorithms on specific datasets, highlighting techniques and strategies that can address real-world challenges when deep learning is employed. By consolidating all necessary information into a single resource, readers can bypass the hassle of scouring scattered online sources, gaining a one-stop solution to dive into deep learning for object detection and classification. To facilitate understanding, the book employs a rich array of illustrations, figures, tables, and code snippets. Comprehensive code examples are provided, empowering readers to grasp concepts quickly and develop practical solutions. The book covers essential methods and tools, ensuring a complete and comprehensive coverage that enables professionals to implement deep learning algorithms swiftly and effectively.
