The Routledge Handbook for Advancing Integration in Mixed Methods Research

This groundbreaking edited book The Routledge Handbook for Advancing Integration in Mixed Methods Research presents an array of different integration ideas with contributions from scholars across the globe. This handbook represents the first major volume that comprehensively discusses this topic of integration. Perhaps the most fundamental and longstanding question in mixed methods research is: How does one best integrate disparate forms of information to produce the best form of inquiry? Each of the 34 seminal chapters in this handbook accelerates the discussion of integration across a broad range of disciplines including education arts-based analyses and work in the Global South as well as special topics such as psychometrics and media research. Many of the chapters present new topics that have never been written about before and all chapters offer cutting-edge approaches to integration. They also offer different perspectives of integration – leading the introductory chapter to offer a new and comprehensive definition for integration as follows: referring to the optimal mixing combining blending amalgamating incorporating joining linking merging consolidating or unifying of research approaches methodologies philosophies methods techniques concepts language modes disciplines fields and/or teams within a single study. The concluding chapter offers a meta-framework that accounts for this definition and is designed to help scholars think more about integration in a way that represents a continuous dynamic iterative interactive synergistic and holistic meaning-making process. This handbook will be an essential reference work for all scholars and practitioners using or seeking to use mixed methods in their research.

Designing Controls for the Process Industries

Designing Controls for the Process Industries

Offering a modern process-oriented approach emphasizing process control scheme development instead of extended coverage of LaPlace space descriptions of process dynamics this text focuses on aspects that are most important for process engineering in the 21st century. Instead of starting with the controller the book starts with the process and moves on to how basic regulatory control schemes can be designed to achieve the process’ objectives while maintaining stable operations. In addition to continuous control concepts process and control system dynamics are embedded into the text with each new concept presented. The book also includes sections on batch and semi-batch processes and safety automation within each concept area. It discusses the four most common process control loops—feedback feedforward ratio and cascade—and discusses application of these techniques for process control schemes for the most common types of unit operations. It also discusses more advanced and less commonly used regulatory control options such as override allocation and split range controllers includes an introduction to higher level automation functions and provides guidance for ways to increase the overall safety stability and efficiency for many process applications. It introduces the theory behind the most common types of controllers used in the process industries and also provides various additional plant automation-related subjects. | Designing Controls for the Process Industries

International Anti-Money Laundering and Soft Law Approaches to Regulation

International Anti-Money Laundering and Soft Law Approaches to Regulation

Adopting a mixed-methods approach this book assesses the role of soft law as a technique to repress and prevent money laundering. The consequence of the combination of a non-traditional subject matter with the limitations of traditional international law instruments has meant that lawmakers seeking international solutions to the problems of money laundering have had to innovate. This book addresses two fundamental issues in the context of existing international and domestic responses to the problem of money laundering that have hitherto been neglected. These include the nature of the treaty obligations to criminalise money laundering and the role of soft law as a technique to regulate it globally. The book concludes that international legal harmonisation and approximation of domestic anti-money laundering law through soft law remains helpful in addressing this pressing problem. The book will be of interest to academics researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Financial Crime Anti-Money Laundering Law Regulation International Soft Law and Comparative Law. | International Anti-Money Laundering and Soft Law Approaches to Regulation

Natural Products Alternate Therapeutic as Quorum Sensing (QS) Inhibitors

Natural Products Alternate Therapeutic as Quorum Sensing (QS) Inhibitors

Microbial biofilm plays an important role in the life cycle of microorganisms surviving in diverse and harsh environments such as extremes of temperatures pH salinity nutrient scarcity etc. Biofilm formation is a survival strategy adopted by microorganisms allowing colonization in new niches by dispersal of microbes from the microbial clusters embedded within an outer polymer layer produced by the microorganism itself. This layer comprises of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that helps the indwelling microbes to grow and divide in a protected environment against invaders like antimicrobial agents surfactant biocides and phagocytic cells of host organisms. Thus EPS matrix prevents the penetration of antimicrobials thereby allowing the indwelling microbes to survive and give rise to antimicrobial resistance posing threat to human health. The present book highlights a detailed analysis of the mechanism of biofilm formation in both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria and the role of quorum sensing signaling mechanism in the genetic regulation pathway. The book titled Natural Products: Alternative therapeutics as Quorum Sensing (QS) inhibitors provides a detailed and systematic review of mechanism of quorum sensing in both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria and alternative pharmacological developments as a potent solution to the rise of antimicrobial resistance during biofilm formation. Features: A systematic overview of the mechanism of quorum sensing in the development of microbial biofilms Biofilm formation and its role in the emergence of antimicrobial resistance Recent pharmacological development of antibiofilm remedies involving biogenic compounds This book serves as a reference book for researchers investigating the progression of events during microbial biofilm formation starting from the genetic cascade regulating quorum sensing to secretion of autoinducers and design of safer methodologies for the successful eradication of microbial biofilm. It may also be used as a textbook for a undergraduate level course in microbiology or microbial biotechnology. | Natural Products Alternate Therapeutic as Quorum Sensing (QS) Inhibitors

American Presidents and Israeli Settlements since 1967

American Presidents and Israeli Settlements since 1967

Tracing presidential administrations since Lyndon B. Johnson this book argues that the Trump administration's policy toward Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Jerusalem is not an aberration but the culmination of over 50 years of American foreign policy. Under the Johnson administration the United States rhetorically supported the applicability of international law regarding Israeli settlements. However throughout the 1970s administrations did little to reverse the construction and expansion of settlements. Moreover presidents sent mixed signals regarding Israel's withdrawal from the occupied territories. The Israeli settlement movement received support when Reagan argued that settlements were not illegal. Since then American presidents have opposed settlement activity to various degrees but not based on their illegality. Rather presidents have described them as unwise unhelpful or obstacles to peace. Even when presidents have had opportunities to confront Israeli settlements directly domestic pressure and America's special relationship with Israel have prevented serious action beyond rhetoric and condemnation. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students of the history and politics of American foreign policy American relations with Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. | American Presidents and Israeli Settlements since 1967

Materials for Learning How to Teach Adults at a Distance

Materials for Learning How to Teach Adults at a Distance

Materials for Learning (1981) examines the ability of books and broadcasts to change lives. The combination of print radio television and group meetings – distance teaching – can transform education in developing countries. Effective distance teaching requires effective teaching materials and up to now there has been a lack of guidance about how to produce such materials and how to do so for different cultures. Materials for Learning aims to supply this need by suggesting guidelines for action and where evidence is mixed or lacking defining questions that still require answers. It is a practical book aimed at people actively involved in nonformal education and will be particularly useful for the developing world educators. The book looks first at how distance teaching can help with educational problems considers how adults learn and surveys problems of language and culture. It then considers the planning of distance teaching and looks in detail at the use of different media. There were also chapters on teaching numeracy and science at a distance and a discussion of the kind of support that can be provided for people studying at a distance. | Materials for Learning How to Teach Adults at a Distance

Politics and the Airlines

Politics and the Airlines

First Published in 1965 Politics and the Airlines looks into the making of airline policy in five countries Australia Britain Canada India and the United States. It shows the part played by political parties ministers government departments regulatory bodies and the boards of management of airlines themselves. In four of the countries the major airlines are publicly owned and have been involved in the cut and thrust of political controversy between enthusiasts for public enterprise and their opponents. In those countries where publicly owned and privately owned airlines compete the politics of the airlines industry are particularly interesting. Dr Corbett’s study of these mixed regulated airlines industries deal with the subject in a new way and presents a general analysis. His analysis could equally well be applied to other industries which are at present constructed along the same lines. The discussion is presented against a background of the history of a fascinating industry and Dr Corbett maintains that the advantage of this form of industry lies in its political efficiency as much as in its attractions to consumers and employees. This is a must read for those interested in the history of aviation industry public policy and public administration.
