Taylor & Francis Ltd Researching Patient Safety and Quality in Healthcare: A Nordic Perspective
Researching Patient Safety and Quality in Health Care: A Nordic Perspective is an anthology based on contributions from leading researchers on quality and safety in healthcare in the Nordic countries together with four internationally renowned patient safety authors. Research on patient safety and quality has been dominated by countries such as the USA, England, Canada, and Australia. This book addresses the current debates in research on patient safety and quality in healthcare from a Nordic perspective. What are the flavours of Nordic research within these topics? What does it add to the international research literature? This book illustrates the unique nature of researching patient safety and quality with the Nordic perspective as well as showcasing representative work. The book presents an overview of the status and evidence of international and Nordic research on quality and safety in healthcare. Four different perspectives are used to present the trends within the research field: a patient perspective, a methodological perspective, a theoretical perspective, and a clinical perspective. The book then presents the status of Nordic research in the field and displays a set of illustrative work and current research topics within the Nordic context, concluding with a discussion of the characteristic features of Nordic research on patient safety and quality in healthcare. The anthology presents an inter-professional perspective and researchers from disciplines such as medical and nursing sciences, humanities, social sciences and engineering. It is written to contribute to the patient safety cause with translational knowledge that will be useful to researchers, policy makers and healthcare managers within Nordic countries and internationally.

Amsterdam University Press The Riddle of Literary Quality: A Computational Approach
What is literature? Can we measure ‘literariness’ in texts themselves? The innovative Computational Humanities project The Riddle of Literary Quality asked thousands of Dutch readers for their opinion about contemporary Dutch and translated novels. The public shared which novels they had read, what they really thought of them, and how they judged their quality. Their judgments of the same novels were compared with the results of computational analysis of the books. Using evidence from almost 14,000 readers and building on more textual data than ever before, Van Dalen-Oskam and her team uncovered unconscious biases that shed new light on prejudices many people assumed no longer existed. This monograph explains in an accessible way how the project unfolded, which methods were used, and how the results may change the future of Literary Studies.

La alta sensibilidad es un rasgo de la personalidad que presenta un 15-20 por ciento de la población. Se trata de una característica neutra que no significa ser especial ni tampoco mejor. Pero una persona altamente sensible (PAS), con la emocionalidad a flor de piel, ha de reconocerse como tal para entender las cosas que le pasan; saber dónde están sus límites; explicarse por qué a menudo siente que el mundo está lleno de alfileres que hacen daño. Sacarle partido a esta cualidad del carácter depende de uno mismo y del trabajo individual para lograr mantenerse fuerte a pesar de ser vulnerable, y así poder disfrutar de la vida.

Kapon Editions He diasose: he siope tou kosmou, he antistase sta gketo kai ta stratopeda, hoi hellenes hevraioi sta chronia tes Katoches
Greek language text. 172 b&w photographs. A new narrative on the persecution and the rescue of the Jews in the Third Reich, this book overturns stereotypes and myths, and gives most timely food for thought. Between 1939 and 1943, hundreds of thousands of Jews were trapped in over 400 ghettos in the occupied lands of Eastern Europe. By the summer of 1944, all the ghettos had been evacuated and most of the prisoners had been exterminated. The research also reveals the attitude and actions of the local Jewish leaders raising questions, such as: When did the world learn about the genocide that was taking place in the heart of Europe? What was the role of the Greek Jews in the Sonderkommando revolt? Could Chief Rabbi Koretz have prevented the extinction of the Jewish community of Thessalonica? Why were the Jews who had gathered in Athens saved? Who organized the rescue operation in the Aegean? The agreements between the British secret services, the Jewish Agency and the National Resistance Front of Greece opened the way for the escape from Euboea. The only case of large-scale rescue in Greece took place on the island of Zakynthos, where 275 Jewish residents managed to hide in the villages and escape the Nazi operations thanks to mayor Loukas Karrer, Metropolitan Chrysostomos and the tolerance of the Austrian commander of the island. This book tries to shed light both on the brighter and bitter aspects of the Greek Holocaust citing Greek and international sources. With documents, testimonies, names, references, lists and photographs, the two authors have tried to produce a complete guide of the Greek Jews’ life during the Occupation years in Greece. [English translation of the title: The Rescue: The world’s silence, the resistance in the ghettos and the camps, the Greek Jews during the Occupation years]

Stanford University Press Secret Intelligence in the European States System, 1918-1989
The history of secret intelligence, like secret intelligence itself, is fraught with difficulties surrounding both the reliability and completeness of the sources, and the motivations behind their release—which can be the product of ongoing propaganda efforts as well as competition among agencies. Indeed, these difficulties lead to the Scylla and Charybdis of overestimating the importance of secret intelligence for foreign policy and statecraft and also underestimating its importance in these same areas—problems that generally beset the actual use of secret intelligence in modern states. But in recent decades, traditional perspectives have given ground and judgments have been revised in light of new evidence. This volume brings together a collection of essays avoiding the traditional pitfalls while carrying out the essential task of analyzing the recent evidence concerning the history of the European state system of the last century. The essays offer an array of insight across countries and across time. Together they highlight the critical importance of the prevailing domestic circumstances—technological, governmental, ideological, cultural, financial—in which intelligence operates. A keen interdisciplinary eye focused on these developments leaves us with a far more complete understanding of secret intelligence in Europe than we've had before.

Kapon Editions Sephardi Jews (Greek language text): From Spain to the Ottoman Empire and the Greek Thessaloníki
A documented tour of the history of the Sephardic Jews, chronicling their persecution and ejection from the Iberian Peninsula at the end of the C15th, recounting their life in the Ottoman Empire, with an emphasis on Thessaloníki, until the first decades of the 20th century.At the end of the 15th century, hundreds of thousands of Jews who refused to convert to Christianity were expelled from Spain, leaving behind a glorious past. After many adventures, most of the Sephardi (Sfarad means Spain) fled to the Ottoman Empire, where with their skills, know-how and culture, they built a new life. They settled in the major port cities, established dozens of communities with an advanced form of autonomy, and excelled in medicine, diplomacy and international trade. In particular, the community of Thessaloníki developed at a rapid pace, experienced days of glory; its glow as the “Jerusalem of the Balkans” was preserved for hundreds of years after its sun had set. Five centuries later, most Sephardi of Thessaloníki met a tragic death in Auschwitz.
