Completed adulthood & public policies. How institutional and policy instruments facilitate the educational, vocational, family and civic life of Polish young adults?

Jolanta Grotowska-Leder, Agnieszka Dziedziczak-Foltyn, Marcin Kotras, Marcin Gońda

The monograph is concerned with the phenomenon of transition to adulthood of young Poles and reaching the stage of completed adulthood, i.e. being economically and socially independent. The study is the first comprehensive presentation of this complex process in Poland by applying a sociological perspective, public policies analysis, assessments of young adults and representatives of institutions providing support for various life difficulties. The monograph is based primarily on qualitative (narrative and group interviews) and quantitative (statistical) data. The publication has a scientific and applied character. The book may be of interest to both academics, mainly sociologists, demographers and social politicians, as well as young people and practitioners involved in organising support for young people who experience difficulties in their everyday life during the transition to adulthood. * This is a pioneering book on the process of transition to stabilised/completed adulthood, socio­economic and family conditions and effects in a Poland undergoing profound economic, political and socio-cultural changes. From the review by prof. Wielisława Warzywoda-Kruszyńska The reviewed work emanates originality and a non-standard approach both to the theory, the research itself and the presentation of results. Reading this monograph […] leads to the conclusion thot there is no similar work in Poland, and one may risk a thesis that there is no similar work in the EU, and it is good that it will be published in English, inspiring researchers and analysts to […] reflect on life at different stages of development within the human life cycle. From the review by prof. Krzysztof Czekaj

COMPLIANCE I ADHERENCE

Marcin Wełnicki, Artur Mamcarz

Dostosowanie się pacjenta do zaleceń lekarza stanowi klucz do osiągnięcia założonych celów terapeutycznych. Jednocześnie wiele obserwacji wskazuje, że niedokładne przestrzeganie zaleceń czy jego brak stanowi istotny problem praktyczny. Znaczenie może mieć wiele elementów postępowania - od komunikacji z pacjentem przez uciążliwość dolegliwości związanych z samą chorobą po formy terapii i częstość jej stosowania. Wykazano, że tzw. Oporność na niektóre leki jest w zanzcnej mierze związana z compliance pacjenta. Niniejsza monografia w sposób przyjazny przybliża tę tematykę. Omawia definicję compliance, adherence i concordance, czynniki wpływające na nieprzestrzeganie zaleceń terapeutycznych, tłumaczy, na czym polega współpraca pacjenta z lekarzem i czym jest opieka skoncentrowana na relacji, a także wskazuje, w jaki sposób można oceniać jakość współpracy pacjenta z lekarzem.

Compliance w diabetologii

Grzegorz Dzida

Dokonania w zakresie medycyny sprawiły, że leczenie pacjentów z chorobami przewlekłymi, takimi jak cukrzyca, jest coraz skuteczniejsze i zapewnia wyższą jakość życia. Zainspirowani wynikami uzyskanymi w kontrolowanych warunkach badań klinicyści często jednak zderzają się z sytuacją, w której nowy lek nie daje takich wyników, jak opisywane. Brak skuteczności zwykle łatwo wytłumaczyć: tylko leki przyjmowane zgodnie z zaleceniami działają. Z tego powodu poza przepisaniem skutecznego preparatu lekarz powinien zadbać o nawiązanie właściwej relacji komunikacyjnej z pacjentem. Zaprezentowane w niniejszej książce wskazówki pozwolą Czytelnikowi lepiej zrozumieć potrzeby chorego na cukrzycę i odpowiedzieć na nie w postaci indywidualizacji terapii. Dowody z badań wskazują, że przyjęcie podejścia skoncentrowanego na pacjencie, uwzględniającego jego przekonania, preferencje, cele i utrudnienia, zapewnia lepsze wyniki kliniczne. Dzięki zaprezentowanym metodom indywidualizacji i samokontroli lekarz w najprostszy i najtańszy sposób będzie mógł poprawić compliance.

Composing Software. An Exploration of Functional Programming and Object Composition in JavaScript

Eric Elliott

This book delves into functional programming and composition techniques in JavaScript, starting with core concepts like pure functions, shared state avoidance, and higher-order functions to build modular, maintainable code. Early chapters explore the fundamentals of functional programming, immutability, and its growing influence in the JavaScript community.

The book discusses the evolution of functional programming, its role in modern software development, and addresses challenges like the software crisis and composing with classes. You'll learn essential topics like object-oriented programming, focusing on factory functions, functional mixins, and object composition. You'll also understand why traditional classes complicate composition and discover strategies for creating custom data types, lenses, and transducers. The book also covers best practices, emphasizing clean, reusable code and avoiding anti-patterns like excessive mocking.

Compound nouns and phrasal nouns in English and Polish

Bożena Cetnarowska

W monografii przedstawiono rezultaty badań nad rzeczownikami złożonymi oraz zestawieniami (tj. wielowyrazowymi połączeniami o charakterze leksemów frazowych, czyli leksemów nieciągłych) w języku angielskim oraz polskim. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono połączeniom przymiotnikowo-rzeczownikowym zawierającym przymiotniki klasyfikujące. Zbadano wewnętrzną spójność zestawień oraz stopień widoczności ich składników dla operacji składniowych. Ukazano nieostrość granicy pomiędzy złożeniami właściwymi i wielowyrazowymi jednostkami leksykalnymi. Podkreślono interakcję pomiędzy procesami słowotwórczymi oraz składniowymi. Przedstawiono analizę omawianych zjawisk w ramach teorii morfologii konstrukcji (Construction Morphology), stanowiącej zastosowanie założeń gramatyki konstrukcji do badania wewnętrznej struktury wyrazów. Praca skierowana jest głównie do badaczy zajmujących się słowotwórstwem, morfoskładnią, frazeologią i leksyką języka angielskiego i polskiego, językoznawstwem teoretycznym oraz kontrastywnym. Zainteresuje również studentów kierunków neofilologicznych.
