    Cuidados de Salud Avanzados es una colección de monografías cuyo objetivo es ampliar los conocimientos básicos adquiridos durante el grado, proporcionando contenidos avanzados en cada materia. Su orientación recoge las cuatro funciones que la OMS otorga a las profesiones sanitarias: asistencial, docente, gestora e investigadora. La segunda edición de la monografía resalta la importancia y la necesidad de una formación en gestión en todos los niveles del sistema sanitario. Gestionar servicios implica tomar decisiones dentro del ámbito sanitario que afectan directamente a los cuidados que se prestan y, para ello, se precisa de una formación específica, complementaria a la formación propia de su titulación en ciencias de la salud y relacionada con gestión sanitaria. Los aspectos clave de la gestión clínica se implementan en los ocho capítulos del libro, en los que se analiza y revisa las compentencias relacionadas con la gestión de centros asistenciales y la importancia de la formación de grado y posgrado en gestión clínica, se desarrolla la gestión por procesos como elemento clave de gestión en el siglo XXI, y se detallan programas de gestión de la calidad, buenas práctias e indicadores de calidad, identificando sus elemenetos y resaltando la importancia de la mejora continua en el desarrollo de las actividades asistenciales. Es el resultado del trabajo de un amplio grupo de profesionales expertos en gestión Sanitaria y resultará de gran interés tatno a esudiantes como a profesionales y a todos aquellos que quieran completar sus conocimientos sobre gestión sanitaria, especialmente clínica, desde una perspectiva actualizada y amplia.

  • Aromaticity

    Modern Computational Methods and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Israel Fernandez
    • English
    Evaluating the aromaticity of a molecular system and the influence of this concept on its properties is a crucial step in the development of novel aromatic systems. Modern computational methods can provide researchers with a high level of insight into such aromaticity, but identifying the most appropriate method for assessing a specific system can prove difficult. Aromaticity: Modern Computational Methods and Applications reviews the latest state-of-the-art computational methods in this field and discusses their applicability for evaluating the aromaticity of a system. In addition to covering aromaticity for typical organic molecules, this volume also explores systems possessing transition metals in their structures, macrocycles and even transition structures. The influence of the aromaticity on the properties of these species (including the structure, magnetic properties and reactivity) is highlighted, along with potential applications in fields including materials science and medicinal chemistry. Finally, the controversial and fuzzy nature of aromaticity as a concept is discussed, providing the basis for an updated and more comprehensive definition of this concept. Drawing on the knowledge of an international team of experts, Aromaticity: Modern Computational Methods and Applications is a unique guide for anyone researching, studying or applying principles of aromaticity in their work, from computational and organic chemists to pharmaceutical and materials scientists.

  • Vías anatómicas. Meridianos miofasciales para terapeutas manuales y profesionales del movimiento

    • 4th Edition
    • Thomas W. Myers
    • Spanish
    Basándose en el mapa de meridianos, este libro presenta estrategias nuevas y holísticas para los terapeutas manuales y del movimiento dirigidas a restablecer y mejorar la postura y la función del movimiento. La nueva sección sobre vías anatómicas en movimiento, de la autora invitada Karin Gurtner, utiliza el movimiento basado en pilates para explorar la fuerza y la elasticidad a lo largo de los meridianos miofasciales. El contenido revisado y ampliado recoge las investigaciones más atuales y la evidencia más reciente para establecer unas bases científicas de los hallazgos clínicos frecuentes. Las nuevas fotografías e ilustraciones de los tejidos, las adhesiones y las capas faciales permiten comprender mejor el contenido del texto. Obra dirigida a todo profesional relacionado con las estructuras y el movimiento del ser humano: fisioterapeutas, entrenadores deportivos y personales, médicos rehabilitadores, osteópatas, quiroprácticos, terapeutas manuales, instructores de yoga y pilates, masajistas tearapéuticos, profesores de baile y de movimiento, acupuntores y otros terapeutas. La versión electrónica incluye una videoteca nueva y ampliada, con animaciones y seminarios web del autor (contenidos en inglés).

  • Cyber-Physical Power Systems State Estimation

    • 1st Edition
    • Arturo Bretas + 3 more
    • English
    Cyber-Physical Power System State Estimation updates classic state estimation tools to enable real-time operations and optimize reliability in modern electric power systems. The work introduces and contextualizes the core concepts and classic approaches to state estimation modeling. It builds on these classic approaches with a suite of data-driven models and non-synchronized measurement tools to reflect current measurement trends required by increasingly more sophisticated grids. Chapters outline core definitions, concepts and the network analysis procedures involved in the real-time operation of EPS. Specific sections introduce power flow problem in EPS, highlighting network component modeling and power flow equations for state estimation before addressing quasi static state estimation in electrical power systems using Weighted Least Squares (WLS) classical and alternatives formulations. Particularities of the state estimation process in distribution systems are also considered. Finally, the work goes on to address observability analysis, measurement redundancy and the processing of gross errors through the analysis of WLS static state estimator residuals.
