Sommario/riassunto |
|
Questo importante volume offre una panoramica delle élite locali durante i drammatici cambiamenti della Cina tardo imperiale e repubblicana. Undici specialisti presentano studi freschi e dettagliati su argomenti che vanno dall'alta borghesia coltivata ai militaristi del ventesimo secolo, dai ricchi mercanti urbani ai capi villaggio. Nell'introduzione e nella conclusione i redattori rivalutano gli studi pionieristici sulla nobiltà degli anni '60, fanno paragoni con le élite in Europa e suggeriscono nuovi modi di guardare le persone migliori nei sistemi sociali locali cinesi. Le élite locali cinesi ei modelli di dominio gettano le basi per future discussioni sulle élite cinesi e forniscono una solida introduzione per i non specialisti. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The authors, as professors in statistics at various universities in Europe, are worried about the poor quality of safety data analysis of clinical trials, despite its importance in drug development and pharmacovigilance. Clinical trials, not adequately addressing safety, are unethical. An effective approach for the purpose is to present summaries of prevalences. In order to estimate the probability, that the |

differences between treatment and control group did not occur merely by chance, a statistical test can be performed. This pretty crude method has recently be supplemented with better sensitive methodologies, based on machine learning clusters and networks, and multivariate analyses. Another important novelty with safety data analysis is the new insights into hypothesis testing, favoring the alternative hypotheses instead of the null hypotheses. Finally the issue of dependency is addressed. Adverse effects may be either dependent or independent of the main outcome. Dependent adverse effect are dependent not only on the treatment modalities, but also on the outcome of the trials. Random heterogeneities, outliers, confounders, interaction factors are common in clinical trials, and all of them can be considered kinds of adverse effects of the dependent type. Random regressions and analyses of variance, high dimensional clusterings, partial correlations, structural equations models, and other Bayesian methods are helpful for their analysis. The current edition was particularly written for medical and health professionals and students. It provides examples of modern analytic methods so far largely unused. All of the 16 chapters have two core characteristics, first they are for current usage, second they try and tell what readers need to know in order to understand the methods. Step by step analyses are given and self-assessment examples are supplied. Each chapter can be studied as a stand-alone. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book focuses on nuclear engineering education in the post-Fukushima era. It was edited by the organizers of the summer school held in August 2011 in University of California, Berkeley, as part of a collaborative program between the University of Tokyo and UC Berkeley. Motivated by the particular relevance and importance of social-scientific approaches to various crucial aspects of nuclear technology, special emphasis was placed on integrating nuclear science and engineering with social science. The book consists of the lectures given in 2011 summer school and additional chapters that cover |

developments in the past three years since the accident. It provides an arena for discussions to find and create a renewed platform for engineering practices, and thus nuclear engineering education, which are essential in the post-Fukushima era for nurturing nuclear engineers who need to be both technically competent and trusted in society. |
