Choice Theory: A Very Short Introduction
Author: Michael Allingham
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191579262
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
We make choices all the time - about trivial matters, about how to spend our money, about how to spend our time, about what to do with our lives. And we are also constantly judging the decisions other people make as rational or irrational. But what kind of criteria are we applying when we say that a choice is rational? What guides our own choices, especially in cases where we don't have complete information about the outcomes? What strategies should be applied in making decisions which affect a lot of people, as in the case of government policy? This book explores what it means to be rational in all these contexts. It introduces ideas from economics, philosophy, and other areas, showing how the theory applies to decisions in everyday life, and to particular situations such as gambling and the allocation of resources. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Principios Teórico-Prácticos de Ergonomía para el Diseño y Evaluación de Herramientas, Puestos de Trabajo y Máquinas
Author: Yolanda Torres Pérez
Publisher: Editorial de la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia - UPTC
ISBN: 9586605973
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : es
Pages : 288
Book Description
En todo proceso de diseño de cualquier máquina, herramienta, puesto de trabajo, etc., se deben aplicar los principios de la ergonomía, para que se logre una adecuada relación usuario-objeto-entorno, que potencialice las capacidades de cada elemento del sistema. Este libro consta de 13 capítulos, en los cuales se presenta información de los principios teórico-conceptuales de la ergonomía y la biomecánica aplicados al diseño y evaluación ergonómica de herramientas, máquinas y puestos de trabajo. Aquí, el lector podrá encontrar las variables antropométricas (posiciones, alcances, posturas y superficies de trabajo) que afectan el puesto de trabajo de un individuo, se presentarán diferentes normas y métodos para la evaluación de riesgos ergonómicos, así como las bases para el diseño y evaluación (física y psicosocial) de los puestos de trabajo, de máquinas, de herramientas y de algunos productos ergonómicos. Por otra parte, se presentan conceptos biomecánicos y ergonómicos, relacionados con la adopción de posturas y movimientos corporales normales, bajo condiciones de carga externa y en condiciones de discapacidad. Además, se consideran los factores psicológicos, socioculturales y ambientales que afectan a un individuo dentro de su puesto de trabajo.

Deadly Dust
Author: David Rosner
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 9780691037714
Category : Occupational diseases
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
During the Depression, silicosis, an industrial lung disease, emerged as a national social crisis. Experts estimated that hundreds of thousands of workers were at risk of disease, disability, and death by inhaling silica in mines, foundries, and quarries. By the 1950s, however, silicosis was nearly forgotten by the media and health professionals. Asking what makes a health threat a public issue, David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz examine how a culture defines disease and how disease itself is understood at different moments in history. They also consider who should assume responsibility for occupational disease.

Models-based Practice in Physical Education
Author: Ashley Casey
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000298868
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of over 40 years of research on models in physical education to suggest Models-based Practice (MbP) as an innovative future approach to physical education. It lays out the ideal conditions for MbP to flourish by situating pedagogical models at the core of physical education programs and allowing space for local agency and the co-construction of practice. Starting from the premise that true MbP does not yet exist, the book makes a case for the term "pedagogical model" over alternatives such as curriculum model and instructional model, and explains how learners’ cognitive, social, affective and psychomotor needs should be organised in ways that are distinctive and unique to each model. It examines the core principles underpinning the pedagogical models that make up MbP, including pedagogical models as organising centres for program design and as design specifications for developing local programs. The book also explores how a common structure can be applied to analyse pedagogical models at macro, meso and micro levels of discourse. Having created a language through which to talk about pedagogical models and MbP, the book concludes by identifying the conditions - some existing and some aspirational - under which MbP can prosper in reforming physical education. An essential read for academics, doctoral and post-graduate students, and pre-service and in-service teachers, Models-based Practice in Physical Education is a vital point of reference for anyone who is interested in pedagogical models and wants to embrace this potential future of physical education.

Exile, Diplomacy and Texts
Author: Ana Sáez-Hidalgo
Publisher: Intersections
ISBN: 9789004273658
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
"In Exile, Diplomacy and Texts, Ana Sáez-Hidalgo and Berta Cano-Echevarría offer an interdisciplinary narrative of religious, political, and diplomatic exchanges between early modern Iberia and the British Isles during a period uniquely marked by inconstant alliances and corresponding antagonisms. Such conditions notwithstanding, the essays in this volume challenge conventionally monolithic views of confrontation, providing through fresh examination of exchanges of news, movements and interactions of people, transactions of books and texts, new evidence of trans-national and trans-cultural conversations between British and Irish communities in the Iberian Peninsula, and of Spanish and Portuguese 'others' travelling to Britain and Ireland"--
