Quan la vida ens dol: Construir la salut mental i recuperar la felicitat
by Jaume FunesQuan la vida ens dol és una reflexió rigorosa que vol ajudar les persones perquè prenguin consciència que una bona salut mental és part del camí que porta a seguir avançant cap a la felicitat. En un moment o altre de la vida apareixen els malestars. Habitualment, el magatzem de les experiències positives viscudes, les habilitats vitals apreses i la proximitat activa d'altres persones fan que els superem. Però hi ha vegades en què això no és així, i el dolor de viure encaixats en una existència que no volem fa que tot es trastorni. Sigui quina sigui la situació, ens trobem enmig d'alteracions d'una part de la salut, la mental, per a la qual no hi ha acord sobre com descriure-la, com explicar-la, com dedicar-hi l'atenció adequada. I acabem immersos en una mena de supermercat de les teràpies, en una gestió interessada dels fàrmacs, en una absència d'escolta i d'acompanyament. Aquest llibre pretén ajudar a tenir una visió personal més coherent sobre la salut i la malaltia mentals, a compartir un discurs social que aporti i que no segregui, a ampliar el grup dels professionals que comparteixen una visió integradora i que donen respostes que humanitzen, a exigir dels nostres responsables polítics una planificació coherent i no la venda d'etiquetes i de serveis etiquetats per curar les malalties mentals.

Quantifying Bourdieu in Educational Research: Traditions, Innovations, and a Reflexive Invitation (SpringerBriefs in Education)
by Guanglun Michael MuThis book revolves around the rationale, urgency, and application of quantifying Bourdieu in educational research. It begins with a succinct revisit to Bourdieu’s methodological pluralism and quantitative program, and a critical review of existing but limited Bourdieusian quantitative educational studies, establishing the theoretical, methodological, and contextual foundations for empirical applications of quantitative methodology in Bourdieusian educational research. The book then presents three examples of such empirical applications as individual chapters, utilising multiple correspondence analysis and social network analysis. These chapters respectively examine social class and educational mobility, teacher resilience and teacher education, and social grouping and social change. The book concludes with a proposal to mobilise a range of 'relational' quantitative methodologies – including factor analysis, cluster analysis, logistic regression, multilevel modelling, and cross-lagged panel model – within a Bourdieusian remit, and extends a reflexive invitation to quantify Bourdieu in educational research.

Quantitative Assessment of Sustainability and Sustainable Development: Principles, Processes, and Challenges
by Ashok K. SinghThis volume discusses and analyses the use of quantitative indicators to assess sustainability across sectors, with the goal of offering readers the tools to choose and validate indicators. Sustainability (SU) and sustainable development (SD) are critical for survival of humanity, but fraught with both definitional and measurement issues. SU and SD are complex multidimensional processes exhibiting (i) social, cultural, and economic variabilities, (ii) a lack of unified definition, and (iii) conceptual vagueness. These deficiencies complicate attempts to measure the effectiveness of SU/SD efforts and make comparisons across programs and geographies difficult. This book explains, in clear terms, the causes, consequences, and assessment of SU and SD deficiencies. An indicator developed for one geographical or climate region may or may not accurately assess sustainability status of another system in different region. That is why, in spite of plenty indicators currently available, there is a need to validate existing or new indicators to assess sustainability. This book develops a database of indicators targeting different aspects of SU and SD and discusses the indicators’ elasticity, range, advantages and disadvantages. The book also provides theoretical and applied information regarding selection of indicators online and/or design new indicators. This volume is targeted toward faculty and graduate/postgraduate scholars working in research areas relevant to sustainability, especially those looking for assessment methodologies and advice on selection and validation of relevant indicators.

Drawing extensively upon up-to-date and relevant examples, the reader will be encouraged to think critically about quantitative research and its potential as well as its limitations in relation to education. Packed with helpful features, this book: provides illustrated step-by-step guides showing how to use SPSS, with plenty of exercises to encourage the reader to practice and consolidate their new skills makes extensive use of real-life educational datasets derived from national surveys in the US and UK to illustrate key points and to bring the material to life has a companion website that contains all of the educational datasets used in the book to download as well as comprehensive answers to exercises and a range of other useful resources that are regularly updated. The book will therefore appeal not only to undergraduate and postgraduate students but also to more established and seasoned educational researchers and lecturers and professors who have tended to avoid or shy away from quantitative methods.
Quantitative Literacy
by Benny Evans Bruce C. Crauder Jerry A. Johnson Alan V. Noell"I finally understand why I need to learn some math!" says a student after finishing a course that used Quantitative Literacy. That enthusiastic response gets to the heart of how this remarkable textbook works. Quantitative Literacy shows students that they use math in their everyday lives more than they realize, and that learning math in real-world contexts not only makes it easier to get better grades, but prepares them for decisions they'll face about money, voting and politics, health issues, and much more. The authors draw on a wide range of examples to give students basic mathematical tools-- from sports to personal finance to sociopolitical action to medical tests to the arts--with coverage that neatly balances discussions of ideas with computational practice.
