Título : evaluating clinical research : All that glitters is not gold Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Furberg, Bengt D ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Furberg, Curt D Editorial: New York, NY : Springer New York Fecha de publicación: 2007 Número de páginas: V, 165 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-387-72899-5 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Statistics Pharmacology Medical research Quality of life for Life Sciences, Medicine, Health Sciences Research Pharmacology/Toxicology Clasificación: 51 Matemáticas Resumen: The objective of this book is to make its readers better informed and more critical consumers of clinical research to help them recognize the strengths and the weaknesses of scientific publications. In doing so, the reader will be able to distinguish patient-important and methodologically sound studies from those having limitations in design, conduct and interpretation. There are no prerequisites for reading this book. The text is basic and has no statistical formulas. Key take-home messages are listed at the end of each chapter. The large number of cartoons has two purposes: First, to make the text easier to read and generate a few laughs and, second, to underscore specific points, sometimes in a provocative way. Bengt D. Furberg, MD, PhD is board-certified in internal medicine. After spending a decade as medical director in the pharmaceutical industry, he now serves as medical consultant, evaluating the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products and medical devices and promoting evidence-based medicine. His brother, Curt D. Furberg, MD, PhD, is Professor in the Division of Public Health Sciences, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC, USA. After arriving in the United States from Sweden, he worked at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health for 12 years. He is co-author of Fundamentals of Clinical Trials with Lawrence M. Friedman and David L. DeMets. His areas of interest are clinical trials, evidence-based medicine and drug safety. The authors have acquired much of their knowledge about clinical studies through the "trial and error" method. Thus, they have personal experience with many of the problems they describe Nota de contenido: What is the purpose of this book? -- Why is benefit-to-harm balance essential to treatment decisions? -- What are the strengths of randomized controlled clinical trials? -- What are the weaknesses of randomized controlled clinical trials? -- Do meta-analyses provide the ultimate truth? -- What are the strengths of observational studies? -- What are the weaknesses of observational studies? -- Were the scientific questions stated in advance? -- Were the treatment groups comparable initially? -- Why is blinding/masking so important? -- How is symptomatic improvement measured? -- Is it really possible to assess quality of life? -- What is the value of biologic markers in drug evaluation? -- How are adverse drug reactions measured? -- How representative are study subjects in clinical trials? -- What happened to the study subjects who disappeared from the analysis? -- How reliable are active-control trials? -- How informative are composite outcomes? -- Do changes in biologic markers predict clinical benefit? -- How trustworthy are the authors? -- Does publication in a reputable scientific journal guarantee quality? -- Is it necessary to be a biostatistician to interpret scientific data? -- Are all drugs of a class interchangeable? -- How much confidence can be placed on economic analysis? -- How should I handle the massive flow of information? -- How well is research translated into clinical care?

Using extensive datasets from West German regions and advanced econometric tools, it confirms a strong relationship between the presence of higher education institutions and the emergence of innovative start-ups. It also shows that the influence increases in direct relation with the innovativeness of the respective start-up, and that certain fields of knowledge are more influential than others in fostering innovative start-ups. In a second step, the multidimensional concept of quality of life is used to explain the geography of human capital across West German regions. Based on these empirical findings, the book shares valuable insights for higher education and regional development policy Nota de contenido: Introduction -- Regional Public Research, Higher Education, and Innovative Start-Ups -- Fields of Knowledge, Types of Higher Eduction Institutions, and Innovative Start-Ups -- Quality of Life and the Geography of Human Capital -- Conclusions.

Organización de empresas Resumen: The book takes a holistic approach to sustainability. Acknowledging the Brundtland definition, that sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, the book is specifically concerned with the ethics of contemporary social and environmental sustainability activity and thinking. It is concerned with the role of institutions–both local and global in achieving sustainability initiatives. All twelve chapters extend sustainability–conceptually, empirically and theoretically, and in doing so provide insights into linking local and global sustainability. The book refocuses sustainability as a series of interwoven and dynamic relationships, backed by just ethical decision-making, which begin locally, and reach out to impact the global level Nota de contenido: 1 Introduction -- Part 1 -- 2 Sustainability, integrity and judgement; Chris Provis -- 3 Sustainability as a work of Justice; Howard Harris -- 4 Sustainable societies; Stephen McKenzie.-5 Sustainable organisational culture; Anke Arnaud -- 6 Sustaining organisations through knowledge sharing: changing the paradigm of power; Saras Sastrowardoyo -- 7 Building the Future by Looking to the Past: Examining Research Published on Organizations and the Environment.; Tima Bansal & Jijun Gao -- 8 Macintyre’s concept of practice in organisational behaviour: Do parallel constructs suggest interdisciplinary research for sustainability?; Erich Fein -- Part 2 Examples and cases -- 9 Life Cycle Analysis and sustainable supply chain management; Claudine Soosay & Andrew Fearne -- 10 Impact of FairTrade initiatives on individuals; Luciana Vieira -- 11 Exploration of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in multinational companies within the food industry; Padmakshi Rana -- 12 Life Cycle Analysis and sustained organisation change in auto repair shops; Barbara Resta -- 13 Indigenous perspectives on sustainability; Azmiri Mian & Kyle Powys Whyte -- 14 Sugar and spice and everything nice: exploring sustainability conflicts; Carmel Young, Sukhbir Sandhu and Howard Harris -- 15 Social sustainability of development projects; Vandra Harris -- 16 Conclusion -- 17 Bibliography -- Contributors.- Index En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-94-017-9008-6 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36346 Linking Local and Global Sustainability [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Sandhu, Sukhbir ; McKenzie, Stephen ; Harris, Howard . - Dordrecht : Springer Netherlands : Imprint: Springer, 2014 . - XIII, 230 p. 22 illus., 4 illus. in color : online resource. - (The International Society of Business, Economics, and Ethics Book Series, ISSN 1877-3176; 4) .

Organización de empresas Resumen: Denmark and Switzerland are small and successful countries with exceptionally content populations. However, they have very different political institutions and economic models. They have followed the general tendency in the West toward economic convergence, but both countries have managed to stay on top. They both have a strong liberal tradition, but otherwise their economic strategies are a welfare state model for Denmark and a safe haven model for Switzerland. The Danish welfare state is tax-based, while the expenditures for social welfare are insurance-based in Switzerland. The political institutions are a multiparty unicameral system in Denmark, and a permanent coalition system with many referenda and strong local government in Switzerland. Both approaches have managed to ensure smoothly working political power-sharing and economic systems that allocate resources in a fairly efficient way. To date, they have also managed to adapt the economies to changes in the external environment with a combination of stability and flexibility Nota de contenido: Preface -- 1 Introduction -- Part I: The Quality of Life in Two Different Good Societies: Denmark and Switzerland -- 2 Two Wealthy Economies and Their Development -- 3 Are the Standards of Living Similar or Dissimilar?- 4 Happiness in Denmark and Switzerland.- Part II: Two Models of Good Societies -- 5 Two Stylized Economic Models -- 6 Political Institutions and Politics -- 7 Civil Society -- 8 Two Variants of the Welfare State -- 9 Immigration.- Part III: Challenges for the Two Good Societies -- 10 The Future of the Danish Welfare State -- 11 The Future of the Swiss Welfare State -- 12 Conclusion En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-37238-4 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36124 The Good Society : A Comparative Study of Denmark and Switzerland [documento electrónico] / Christoffersen, Henrik ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Michelle Beyeler ; Eichenberger, Reiner ; Nannestad, Peter ; Paldam, Martin . - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg : Imprint: Springer, 2014 . - XII, 327 p. 67 illus : online resource.
