Abstract:
After its implementation in 1980, shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) became the first-line treatment for more than 80% of patients with urolithiasis. During the last three decades, SWL technology has advanced rapidly in terms of shock wave generation, focusing, patient coupling, and stone localization. Indications for SWL have evolved as well. Although endoscopic treatment techniques continue to improve, SWL continues to be considered first-line therapy for the treatment of many urinary stones. This chapter reviews the fundamental principles of SWL and presents advances in lithotripsy technology such as shock wave generation and focusing, advances in stone localization (imaging), different energy source concepts, and coupling modalities. Our understanding of the pathophysiology and the physics of shock waves can enhance extracorporeal SWL efficacy while limiting complications. Finally, current indications for and contraindications to SWL depending on stone location and in context of the updated AUA/EAU Guidelines are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
This article investigates the tradition of case-oriented configurational research, focusing specifically on qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) as a tool for causal inference. It first presents two analytic procedures commonly used by comparative researchers. A short description of the state-of-the-art of QCA applications is offered, in terms of discipline, types of cases, models, combinations with other methods, and software development. It then reviews different uses of QCA, as well as generic ‘best practices’. Some key recent evolutions are illustrated: on the one hand the development, beyond dichotomous ‘crisp set’ QCA (csQCA), of multi-value QCA (mvQCA), fuzzy sets, and fuzzy-set QCA (fsQCA), and on the other hand technical advances and refinements in the use of the techniques. Finally, the article gives some concluding reflections as to expected developments, upcoming innovations, remaining challenges, expansion of fields of application, and cross-fertilization with other approaches.

Full text
Abstract:
The Hospital and Clinic Improvement Handbook is about doing more using existing resources. For example, achieving more throughput in the operating rooms, reducing waiting times at the emergency department, and improving clinical quality. This is done using the well-established Lean techniques together with the breakthrough philosophies and techniques of the theory of constraints (TOC). These methods and their underlying tools are put together with techniques and methodologies implemented by the authors in dozens of healthcare organizations. The tools include the complete kit concept, the Pareto methodology, the focusing table, and the focusing matrix. The book introduces simple tools that can be implemented quite easily in any hospital or clinic. It also focuses on the implementation process using tools like the 3–1–1 model that directs managers where to focus their limited time resources to best improve the performance of their organizations. Finally, the book introduces effective yet simple performance measures and prescribes the process of ongoing improvement.

Abstract:
This chapter describes how digital critical edition supposes a mastery of markup systems, providing an overview in the form of an inventory of standards, and of markup, presentation, and archiving techniques. It discusses the state of the art while focusing on key architectures and techniques considered as the basis of digital critical edition. The chapter introduces some aspects of markup technology that are particularly relevant to textual scholarship, such as the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), and considers some of their limitations, possibilities, and future potential. Since there is no need to be conversant with all aspects and details of the markup technology, most of what is covered here is of a general nature, albeit focusing on issues assumed to be of particular relevance for textual scholarship.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces practical tools for reducing response times significantly. Using the approaches and techniques presented in the chapter can reduce response time several folds. This is a strategic and tactical goal for every organization to reduce response times. The significant contribution of Lean/just in time to management is manifested in focusing on short response and introducing the perception that work in process is a burden, not an asset. This chapter presents tools and techniques such as the small batch concept, group technology, tactical gating, the “traffic lights” system, Superzoufing, working with a complete kit, and the shortest processing time.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter engages the Israeli border discourse against the backdrop of arriving asylum seekers from Africa. Focusing on parliamentary debates, the chapter looks at how exclusionary techniques employed to regulate migrations are legitimised through the association of migrants as a problem of national security, as an economic threat, and a threat to national identity. Contrary to the literature which examines borders as dislocated sites of control, the chapter instead directs attention to the regulation of migrations through very classical discursive frameworks: as tools of ordering, controlling and physical enactment of statecraft and sovereignty.

This chapter examines the main sources of evidence for mobility in the Roman period, focusing on epigraphy, material culture, and new scientific techniques, specifically isotopic analysis, evaluating strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Employing diaspora theory and hybridization models, it also asks broader questions of how interactions and relationships between incomers and locals can be modelled. Finally, and acknowledging that there is now an increased awareness of the political context in which research on emotive themes such as migration is conceived and conducted, we review some recently developed educational resources and their potential impact on public perceptions of mobility in the past.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter presents eleven models and approaches in music therapy practice. The inclusion criteria is that each forms the basis, or is part, of an existing training, and at least one monograph exists. The distinction betweenmodelsand approaches is made such that models refer to developments which evolved from music therapy practice, andapproachesare music therapy techniques and methods overlaid on an existing model of therapy or theoretical principles. Music therapy training requires learning about theory within the parameters of at least one model or approach, and this engagement must be thorough and intensive. Trainees can struggle with having to do so much thinking and analyzing of their own reactions and integration of key theoretical concepts while concurrently focusing on improving their techniques and methods. Ultimately good enough training allows students to first comprehend and eventually internalize, the theoretical basis of their professional thinking in practice.

Full text
Abstract:
Acquisition of the passive voice has been studied since the sixties; these earlier results have provided evidence for difficulties in both comprehension and production at 4–5 years of age with differences depending on the shape of sentences and the type of verbs involved. This led to an interpretation expressed in the A-chain deficit hypothesis, whereby children are challenged by movement of the internal argument to the subject position. More recent studies, using new techniques and new insights, have shown an earlier mastery of some passives (age 3), have narrowed down the scope of difficulties focusing more thoroughly on specific sources of challenge and this has promoted new interpretative hypotheses.

Abstract:
To maximize their effectiveness, rehabilitation programs for chronic pain require patient motivation and involvement. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a patient-centered approach that incorporates four key processes designed to reduce patient ambivalence and enhance motivation to engage in self-consistent adaptive behaviors. In this chapter, the essential processes of engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning, along with their associated techniques, are described, and examples (short clinical vignettes) are provided of how MI operates in practice. The chapter concludes with a review of the empirical data in support of the beneficial effects of MI in chronic pain populations. Although additional research is warranted, the available evidence demonstrates the efficacy of MI for facilitating adaptive responding such as increased patient participation and engagement in physical exercise.

Full text
Abstract:
Four strands of research in the philosophy of technology have made important contributions to environmental philosophy. First, critical theory of technology emphasizes the environmentally exploitative tendencies of capitalist technological innovation. Second, phenomenologyhas examined how technologies shapeperception and orientation to the world with implications for our treatment of and regard for nature. Third, concurrent with the environmental movement itself, an empirical turn in philosophy of technology resulting in philosophers focusing their attention on particular tools and techniques. Empirical studies have emphasized environmentally significant technologies. Finally, work inspired by philosophy of science has adopted scientific reasoning and methods in environmental policy with tools such as risk analysis and environmental impact assessment. These four strands of work have often merged with the work of sociologists, geographers, and political theorists interested in the connections between science and democracy.

Full text
Abstract:
zzIn this chapter, Geoffrey Martin discusses some of the major issues in studying the use of Internet technology—focusing on Twitter—in protest mobilization occurring in authoritarian environments. He argues that comparing qualitative interviews with activists to their online activities is a challenging effort due to the difficulties of proving empirically the activists’ claims about the impact of their use of social media. These challenges forced him construct a strict metric to achieve representative sampling and coding rigor. The content analysis he constructed can be used to validate, within the limited scope of the cases, some sampling techniques. These efforts can help a researcher in the field to compare offline and online events more effectively, especially when time constraints, ethical considerations, and a lack of data are ever-present obstacles to this type of fieldwork.

Abstract:
The concluding chapter summarizes the main arguments advanced in this book. It outlines both the main theoretical arguments developed and the key empirical findings presented in the preceding chapters. These chapters have argued that in processes of translation, two interrelated changes occur as both the meaning of travelling norms and the social and political practices within a given context change. Focusing on the project’s monitoring and evaluation apparatus, this chapter now analyses how the outcomes of the project are retranslated into transnational development discourse. In these retranslations, the ardent work of the local fieldworkers as translators of global norms is systematically ignored. Instead of accounting for complex processes of norm translation, project monitoring and evaluation techniques carefully police the boundaries of transnational policy paradigms. In these paradigms, the decisive work of norm translators is therefore lost in retranslation.
