Hormones are an excellent system of communication between cells and tissues within an organism, and they coordinate a wide range of processes in biological systems, including neuroendocrine and immunological controls. The book offers insights into the latest significant advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of hormonal signaling that control a variety of processes involved in development and ageing. It is divided into four parts: Part I includes a review of the hundred-year history of hormones by the illustrious hormone biochemist Dr. J.R. Tata. Part II presents various chapters on the hormones involved in growth, stress and metabolism, while Part III addresses the hormones controlling cognition and rhythms in ageing processes. Lastly, Part IV discusses the hormones affecting reproduction, immunity and life span. It also explores the use of hormones as pharmaceuticals to maintain health in the elderly. It is a valuable resource for those working in the area of hormone signaling in general and in the field of ageing research in particular. 410 0$aHealthy Ageing and Longevity,$x2199-9015 ;$v6 606 $aMedicine$xResearch 606 $aBiology$xResearch 606 $aGeriatrics 606 $aCytology 606 $aBiomedical Research 606 $aGeriatrics 606 $aCell Biology 615 0$aMedicine$xResearch. 615 0$aBiology$xResearch. 615 0$aGeriatrics. 615 0$aCytology. 615 14$aBiomedical Research. 615 24$aGeriatrics. 615 24$aCell Biology. 676 $a612.68 702 $aRattan$b Suresh$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSharma$b Ramesh$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253940903321 996 $aHormones in Ageing and Longevity$92056938 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04354oam 2200649I 450 001 9910970198203321 005 20251117094042.0 010 $a1-351-28002-3 010 $a1-351-28003-1 010 $a1-351-28004-X 010 $a1-909493-74-0 010 $a1-78353-080-4 024 7 $a10.4324/9781351280044 035 $a(CKB)3780000000000005 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001100964 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11586302 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001100964 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11063220 035 $a(PQKB)10016047 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1741746 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1741746 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10650061 035 $a(OCoLC)884015520 035 $a(OCoLC)1004059774 035 $a(OCoLC)827237067 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB162365 035 $a(EXLCZ)993780000000000005 100 $a20180706e20172008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe 13 key performance indicators for highly effective teams /$fAllam Ahmed, George Siantonas and Nicholas Siantonas 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aSheffield $cGreenleaf Pub.$d2008 210 1$aLondon :$cRoutledge,$d2017. 215 $a127 p. $cill 300 $aFirst published 2008 by Greenleaf Publishing Limited. 311 08$a0-367-10762-7 311 08$a1-906093-07-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $tchapter 1 Aims and methodology /$rAllam Ahmed George Siantonas Nicholas Siantonas --$tchapter 2 Concept and theory /$rAllam Ahmed George Siantonas Nicholas Siantonas --$tchapter 3 Industry aggregate analysis /$rAllam Ahmed George Siantonas Nicholas Siantonas --$tchapter 4 Industry sector analysis /$rAllam Ahmed George Siantonas Nicholas Siantonas --$tchapter 5 The roadmap to team effectiveness /$rAllam Ahmed George Siantonas Nicholas Siantonas. 330 $a"An organisation's most important asset is its people. And critical to an organisation's success is the extent to which its people interact effectively--both with each other as team members and with the wider organisation. This is why managing teams has become a key area for a growing number of organisations around the world. While many organisations are world-class at managing their materials and machinery, they fall short in managing the human side of their activities.This book outlines the challenges faced by both team leaders and team members in 21st-century workplaces. It proposes 13 key performance or "team health" indicators for highly effective teams based on research data collected from a large range of industry sectors, team sizes and organisations in the UK. It contributes to the understanding of the nature and functioning of team cohesiveness by describing teamwork as a multi-component variable and identifying the factors that impact on teams and the implications of teamwork for organisations.The book sets out to aid organisations by introducing a Team Performance Diagnostic (TPD) tool. The TPD enables organisations to gain an accurate and detailed insight into the real-time performance of their teams, helps team managers to understand the underlying 'people' issues within the team and how to reach higher levels of team performance quickly. The TPD has been widely used in major multinationals and the UK public sector to pinpoint hard-to-find opportunities to achieve rapid improvements.The research suggests that the use of TPD contributes to more free-flowing feedback both within the team and in the organisation as a whole, and that successful teams are indicative of a healthy organisational culture.This book is an essential guide for senior managers and policy-makers dealing with team effectiveness, and will be highly useful for students of business and management."--Provided by publisher. 517 3 $aThirteen performance indicators for highly effective teams 606 $aTeams in the workplace$xEvaluation 615 0$aTeams in the workplace$xEvaluation. 676 $a658.4022 700 $aAhmed$b A$g(Allam),$01220214 702 $aSiantonas$b George 702 $aSiantonas$b Nicholas 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970198203321 996 $aThe 13 key performance indicators for highly effective teams$94498044 997 $aUNINA
