Arising from in-depth interviews with eight dyslexic boys, aged 16 and 17, who had experienced education in non-specialist schools across England, this book provides an insight into the results of classroom methods, the attitudes of teachers and other pupils, and the lack of specialist help.

"Mastering Strategic Management is designed to enhance student engagement in three innovative ways. The first is through visual adaptations of the key content in the book. It is well documented that many of today's students are visual learners. To meet students' wants and needs (and thereby create a much better teaching experience for professors), Mastering Strategic Management contains multiple graphic concept pages in ever section of every chapter of the book. Think of graphic concept pages as almost like info-graphics for key concepts in each section. This feature sets Mastering Strategic Management apart from any strategic management book on the market today. The second way the authors capture student interest through their textbook is by using a real-world company as the running example in each chapter. For example, Chapter 1 in Mastering Strategic Management utilizes Blackberry to harness the conceptual coverage of the chapter in a running, corporate, application to which students will relate. The third inventive way Mastering Strategic Management holds the attention of strategic management students is through the zstrategy at the moviesy feature in each chapter that links course concepts with a popular motion picture. The 1st Canadian Edition is an adaptation of Mastering Strategic Managment. Adaptations include Canadian specific content, images, and references, removal of copyright images, and inclusion of ancillary reosurces in the Appendix (Chapter PowerPoints)."--BCcampus website.

[Truncated abstarct] Deep vein thrombosis is a major health problem that carries the immediate and potentially fatal risk of pulmonary embolism. The post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a long-term complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and affects 20%-82% of patients. One quarter to one third of these suffer the severe forms of PTS which are lipodermatosclerosis and venous leg ulceration. Venous leg ulcers are a difficult clinical problem because they are slow to heal, and have a high recurrence rate that is reported in both Europe and Australia to be as high as 76%. Chronic venous disease is a major burden on health care resources impacting on both community and in-patient care. The global costs for treatment have been estimated at between $750 million and $1 billion per year. The cost of the social implications and the impact on the quality of life have not been effectively measured. The venous changes that occur as the result of a DVT are variable, however the severity of these changes cannot be predicted by the extent of the original thrombus or the associated haemodynamic changes. It is not known why some patients develop lipodermatosclerosis and ulceration following a DVT and why others remain without symptoms. A significant number of patients who develop venous thrombosis have been found to have hypercoagulable states. Many of these have a genetic cause, especially in patients with recurring deep vein thrombosis, who may possess multiple genetic abnormalities. The extent to which individuals are affected by chronic venous disease after a DVT varies considerably, which suggests the interaction of multiple factors, which may be genetic, environmental and clinical. Little is understood about factors that predict the development of severe venous changes following DVT. Identifying patients at high risk of developing lipodermatosclerosis and venous leg ulceration would aid in directing existing and future treatments that might modify the management of patients with DVT and provide them with practical information on their expected outcome. The aim of this thesis was to determine factors that are associated with the development of lipodermatosclerosis and venous ulceration in patients with a previous deep vein thrombosis, and to thereby gain an insight into factors that might be prognostic for the outcomes of severe venous disease. Multiple factors were considered in this study including individual patient characteristics, genetic polymorphisms, venous function, tissue oxygenation, and skin oedema. The study consisted of two cohorts of patients who all had a proven deep vein thrombosis more than 2 years previously. One cohort (n=161) was identified from hospital radiology records. These patients were assessed for the presence of skin changes by attending an assessment visit (n=127 ) or by responding to a postal questionnaire if they were not willing to attend a visit. The second cohort (n=80) was identified through the leg ulcer clinic as patients with a venous leg ulcer who had a previous DVT in that ulcerated leg...

This paper addresses gendered trends in piano performance. It covers the New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania region between 1950 and 2019. There are numerous sources from throughout this region that are thoroughly archived (the New York Times, New York Philharmonic programs, The Etude, Clavier Companion/Piano Magazine, WNCN-FM broadcasts) that make this district an excellent candidate for case study.The second chapter explores gender representation in New York Philharmonic Subscription Season Concerts. It measures and compares the rates at which women and men pianists play different composers. The third chapter analyzes the New York Times reviews of women pianists who have performed in the New York Philharmonic Subscription Season Concerts. It focuses on how often reviewers utilize gendered language in relation to the composer being performed. Though the fourth chapter also covers repertoire and gender representation in The Etude and Clavier Companion/Piano Magazine CD/record releases, it centers primarily on the existence of gendered narratives within pedagogical resources. Similarly, the fifth chapter, explores trends in interview topics (clothing choices, sound production, children: to have or not to have?) that are specific to the woman pianist's experience. Though limited in focus, this paper serves as a window into the impact that gendered thinking has had on the twentieth and twenty-first century woman pianist.
