English | ISBN: 1433811723 | 2012 | 161 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Over the past two decades, a growing body of scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) has emerged. This empirical study of teaching methods, course design, and student study practices has yielded invaluable information about how teachers teach and learners learn. Yet, university faculty members remain largely unaware of the findings of SoTL research. As a result, they tend to choose their teaching techniques and tools based on intuition and previous experience rather than on scientific evidence of effectiveness.

Free Download Daniel J. Whitaker, "Preventing Partner Violence: Research and Evidence-Based Intervention Strategies"
English | ISBN: 1433804344 | 2009 | 300 pages | PDF | 19 MB
In the past 30 years, the study of intimate partner violence (IPV) has advanced considerably. Previously, IPV was conceptualized narrowly as male physical violence against women due to a need for dominance. Now, experts realize that a variety of factors are associated with IPV and that IPV takes many forms-from verbal abuse or slapping to highly violent physical abuse or rape. In addition, research shows that women are often the perpetrators of IPV. As a result, IPV interventions have shifted over time from gender-focused interventions to gender-neutral interventions, with an emphasis on empirical evidence.

Free Download Nolan Zane, "Evidence-Based Psychological Practice With Ethnic Minorities: Culturally Informed Research and Clinical Strategies "
English | ISBN: 1433820897 | 2016 | 320 pages | PDF | 3 MB
An essential component of evidence-based psychological practice (EBPP) is attending to the ethnocultural heritage of the client. However, relatively little research has been conducted on culturally- informed EBPP with ethnic minorities, especially research that satisfies rigorous methodological criteria. In this book, experts examine the reasons for this and suggest tangible strategies for conducting more impactful studies to promote culturally competent treatment. The chapters address critical research issues such as measurement and design/methodology, and inspiring examples show how EBPP can be tailored to meet the specific needs of ethnic minorities. This volume is an important step in reducing disparities and promoting effective mental health treatment for underserved populations.

English | ISBN: 1433804069 | 2008 | 503 pages | PDF | 31 MB
In virtually every mental health clinician’s career, a situation arises that requires immediate response: A client or patient presents who is suicidal, potentially violent, and/or at risk of being victimized. In such a situation-considered a behavioral emergency-the clinician may have little or no time to consult resources before responding. In this book, Phillip M. Kleespies and his colleagues provide clinicians with critical, evidence-based approaches for the evaluation and management of behavioral emergencies.

Free Download Supply Chain Agility and Innovation: Evidence from the Service Industry by Eias Al Humdan , Yangyan Shi , Masud Behnia
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 327 Pages | ISBN : 9819763584 | 33.5 MB
This book critically examines the concept of ‘supply chain agility’ (SCA) in a novel context, shedding light on its implications for executives and professionals. While much literature has explored SCA in manufacturing, this book pioneers a comprehensive exploration of its application in the service sector, an often-overlooked domain in operations management, supply chain management, and innovation literature. The analysis, based on data from 245 service firms in Australia, employs a unique approach, revealing a positive relationship between firm innovativeness and SCA, with SCA in turn positively impacting firm performance.
