Sommario/riassunto

Since 1984, Geophysical Data Analysis has filled the need for a short, concise reference on inverse theory for individuals who have an intermediate background in science and mathematics. The new edition maintains the accessible and succinct manner for which it is known, with the addition of:    MATLAB examples and problem setsAdvanced color graphicsCoverage of new topics, including Adjoint Methods; Inversion by Steepest Descent, Monte Carlo and Simulated Annealing methods; and Bootstrap algorithm for determining empirical confidence intervalsOnline da

Sommario/riassunto

Mental health services make it possible to deliver effective interventions. The way these services are organized has an important bearing on their effectiveness and the ultimate fulfilment of the aims and objectives of national mental health policies. This module begins with a description and analysis of the current forms of mental health service organisation found around the world. The current status of service organisation is reviewed and recommendations are made for organising mental health services, based on an optimal mix of a variety of services. The main recommendations are to integrate mental health services into general health care systems; develop formal and informal community mental health services; and promote and implement deinstitutionalization once alternative services are in place.

Sommario/riassunto

Internationale Entwicklungen und Impulse fordern dazu auf, Bildungssysteme gerecht und inklusiv auszugestalten. Das vorliegende Buch greift dies auf und fokussiert das häufig unscharf diskutierte Verhältnis zwischen inklusiver Bildung und Bildungsgerechtigkeit. Durch die Zusammenstellung von aktuellen Forschungsergebnissen und theoretischen Beiträgen aus mehreren europäischen Ländern zu dem Thema schaffen die Autor*innen einen übergreifenden Diskussionsrahmen.  International developments and impulses call for the equitable and inclusive design of education systems. This book takes this up and focuses on the often blurred relationship between inclusive education and educational equity. By compiling current research results and theoretical contributions from several European countries on the topic, the authors create an overarching framework for discussion.

“The included studies address important dimensions, raise interesting questions and propose new empirical approaches to the study of inclusion as a policy and politics of education.”      Gunnlaugur Magnússon, European Journal of Special Needs Education 2024, Vol. 39, No. 2
