Hva er kunnskap? Hva er gyldig kunnskap? Hva kan vi få kunnskap om? Hvor går grensene for kunnskapen? Hva er det vi ikke kan få kunnskap om? Denne boken tar opp slike vitenskapsteoretiske spørsmål i tilknytning til sosial- og helsefagene. Boken tilbyr perspektiver og begreper som gjør det mulig å reflektere systematisk over kunnskapsposisjoner i vitenskapelig og praktisk virksomhet.Forfatterne drøfter forklaring og forståelse av handling og tolkning av meningsbærende uttrykk, blant annet årsaksforklaringer. De ser på brede tradisjoner som hermeneutikk og fenomenologi. Boken presenterer også overordnede rammeverk som kritisk realisme og sosialkonstruksjonisme. I tillegg diskuterers evidensbasert praksis og praktisk kunnskap, verdiers rolle i forskning og hvordan forskning kan være frigjørende.Se innholdsfortegnelse: ]]>

This book, the first of its kind, helps scientists and engineers of all stages and disciplines share their work in a new way¿with movies. Today, much of scientific communication is embedded in papers and presentations, but these documents don¿t often extend outside of a specific academic field. By adding movies as a medium of communication, scientists and engineers can better communicate with their colleagues while also increasing their reach to students, professors, peers, potential collaborators, and the public. Scientific films help translate complex technical topics into more accessible and consumable messages. By following Lauren Murphy¿s filmmaking formula ¿ planning, shooting, and editing ¿ readers will create their very own scientific films that look professional and polished. Using tools as simple as a smartphone, readers can develop short, personal stories with no cost or experience needed. This book will guide readers through all steps of the movie making process to a finished product. Readers will evolve their creative thinking skills and use their movies to improve classroom presentations, network across student organizations, present at conferences, recruit students for their labs, secure grant money, and more. Adding a movie to your body of work can be the tool that sparks interest in audiences to learn more¿driving traffic to your publications, research projects, and websites. This book will help you develop new skills to become a better communicator while spreading your ideas and research to new audiences.

"The new form of timber construction is hybrid! Timber construction is booming, not only because it is environmentally friendly: building in timber is gaining increasing importance particularly in an urban and multistorey setting. Material-optimized hybrid construction makes it possible to leave stereotyped thinking behind, while opening up completely new opportunities for timber architecture.The completely revised and extended edition of this manual conveys essential knowledge about the system and methodology of timber construction - from design and prefabrication to assembly on site. It creates a mutual understanding of all parties involved in the project required for collaboration in the integral planning and building process. It furthermore provides the technical competence needed for a convincing representation of modern timber construction."
This fully revised fifth edition continues to offer the authoritative introduction to today's global political economy and its historical context. O'Brien and Williams move beyond the traditional three-paradigm perspective to show how these theories can be applied and their efficacy in tackling key developments and issues. In doing so, the authors offer an all-encompassing analysis of the multiple theories, themes, and issues to create a comprehensive guide to the topic. The authors first trace the evolution of the global economy from its roots in fifteenth century through the Industrial Revolution, to the post-1945 world order. They then proceed to explore in more detail the dynamics of today's global political economy, providing systematic coverage of the key spheres of activity, from trade, production and finance to social divisions, development, the environment, ideas, security and governance. This edition includes new material on the Greek financial crisis and the changing role of the BRICS countries in global governance, as these developments upset the dominance of the US and Europe in the world economy today. Supported by multiple boxed exhibits, further reading links, and a fully-featured companion website, this text is designed to be as accessible as possible. Online, students will find essay and multiple choice questions, podcasts and videos, timelines, and other materials to help consolidate learning.

Life is uncertain. We are all the result of an unforeseen and unforeseeable sequence of small occurrences. But what underlies this fragile chain of events? Is it random or just complex? And what role does luck play in our lives?David Spiegelhalter has spent his career crunching data in order to help understand uncertainty and assess the chances of what might happen. In The Art of Uncertainty, he gives readers a window onto how we can all do this better.Uncertainty, he argues, is a relationship between the observer and an object in the outside world. He shows us how we can express it numerically, and then update our beliefs about the future in the face of constantly changing experience. In crystal-clear prose, he takes us through the principles of probability, a field that informs everything from annuities to pandemics and climate change, while also examining the limitations of statistical modelling and arguing we need to have the humility to admit our ignorance.Drawing on a wide range of real-world examples, this is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty in a world that makes it inevitable
Fra forfatteren av bestselgeren Sapiens kommer den banebrytende historien om hvordan informasjonsnettverk har skapt, og destabilisert, vår verden.I løpet av de siste 100 000 årene har menneskeheten blitt en mektig art. Men til tross for oppdagelser, oppfinnelser og erobringer, befinner vi oss nå i en eksistensiell krise. Verden er på randen av økologisk kollaps. Feilinformasjonen florerer. Og vi kaster oss hodestups over kunstig intelligens – et nytt informasjonsnettverk som truer med å utslette oss. Med tanke på alt vi har oppnådd, hvorfor er vi så selvdestruktive?Nexus ser på menneskets historie gjennom en bred linse for å finne ut hvordan informasjonsflyten har formet oss. Yuval Noah Harari tar leseren med fra steinalderen, gjennom kanoniseringen av Bibelen, heksejakten, stalinismen, nazismen og gjenoppblomstringen av populismen, og oppfordrer oss til å tenke gjennom det komplekse forholdet mellom informasjon og sannhet, byråkrati og mytologi, visdom og makt. Han utforsker hvordan ulike samfunn og politiske systemer på godt og vondt har brukt informasjon for å nå sine mål. Og han tar opp de presserende valgene vi står overfor når ikke-menneskelig intelligens truer vår eksistens.Informasjon er ikke sannhetens råmateriale; det er heller ikke bare et våpen. Nexus utforsker den håpefulle middelveien mellom disse ytterpunktene, og på veien gjenoppdager han egenskapene som gjør oss til mennesker.]]>

The 5th edition of this popular introduction to statistics for the medical and health sciences has undergone a significant revision, with several new chapters added and examples refreshed throughout the book. Yet it retains its central philosophy to explain medical statistics with as little technical detail as possible, making it accessible to a wide audience.Helpful multi-choice exercises are included at the end of each chapter, with answers provided at the end of the book. Each analysis technique is carefully explained and the mathematics kept to minimum. Written in a style suitable for statisticians and clinicians alike, this edition features many real and original examples, taken from the authors' combined many years' experience of designing and analysing clinical trials and teaching statistics.Students of the health sciences, such as medicine, nursing, dentistry, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and radiography should find the book useful, with examples relevant to their disciplines. The aim of training courses in medical statistics pertinent to these areas is not to turn the students into medical statisticians but rather to help them interpret the published scientific literature and appreciate how to design studies and analyse data arising from their own projects. However, the reader who is about to design their own study and collect, analyse and report on their own data will benefit from a clearly written book on the subject which provides practical guidance to such issues.The practical guidance provided by this book will be of use to professionals working in and/or managing clinical trials, in academic, public health, government and industry settings, particularly medical statisticians, clinicians, trial co-ordinators. Its practical approach will appeal to applied statisticians and biomedical researchers, in particular those in the biopharmaceutical industry, medical and public health organisations.
