"Responding to the ongoing challenges of understanding and improving assessment and feedback in higher education, this must-read book steps back and asks 'what if' questions in order to unlock some of the systemic problems of assessment and feedback, shifting the debate to focus on students' experience at a programme-level. Based on the 'Transforming the Experience of Students through Assessment' (TESTA) project, this book introduces a different way of thinking about assessment and feedback. It considers a method for understanding the impact of assessment and feedback on student learning and provides practical insights about changing programme assessment patterns to foster student agency and engagement. Giving impetus to change the way academics design assessment and feedback, it invites academics and educational leaders into more transparent, open and shared decision-making about assessment and feedback beyond the module-level. This key title is designed to support academics and educational leaders to make sustainable and systemic improvements to the pedagogy of assessment. It expands on good principles, practices, and theories about how students learn from assessment and feedback by paying attention to a programme-level perspective of the student experience"--

The concept behind this book is to take a holistic view of food texture, starting with the determination of food texture, its perception in the mouth, and its measurement by both sensory and instrumental methods, and to examine the relation between them. The book has been divided into four sections: Fundamentals, Sensory and Human Interactions, Instrumental Analysis, and Food Products. Essentially we cover the techniques used for measuring food texture, and then apply them to the different product groups. Readers of the first edition will notice the title has changed, with the adoption of the term texturology. In the long history of food texture research, texturology has been occasionally used in literature. The term texturology has not been widely accepted by texture researchers (texturologists) because of their concern over whether the theories and techniques are broad and strong enough to support texture research as a scientific discipline. During the 24 years since the publication of the first edition, the editors have observed vast developments in theories as well as the assessment methodology of food texture (both sensory and instrumental) and these have shaped our understanding. This second edition brings the science up to date by introducing topics not previously covered (e.g. psychophysics, tribology, oral processing, texture maps and special foods for dysphagia patients). It includes an exposé of the instruments to measure food texture, and also considers techniques for measuring consumer perception of food texture (in addition to the sensory properties). Additionally, it amends omissions from the first edition such as dairy products; fish; bakery products; and, sugar confectionery, asproduct groups. All in all it is expanded and updated in its coverage of food texturology, as a coherent scientific discipline.

"Measuring governance has become an increasingly important feature of modern societies, with organisations and institutions expected to prove their worth by quantifying their activities and results. This unique Handbook maps historical developments, theoretical conceptions and key approaches, and summarises what is known about measuring governance from a variety of fields of practice. Peter Triantafillou and Jenny M. Lewis bring together an array of leading international academics to examine how governance is measured across different policy sectors and levels of government. Chapters explore the sociological theory of measurement, the quality of collaborative governance processes, governance in public health care, and global development cooperation. The editors and contributors have combined theoretical thinking with empirical findings to support this comprehensive overview of measuring governance, providing a significant contribution to the ongoing discourse in this field. This thought-provoking Handbook will appeal to public administration and public policy professionals, as well as business and government practitioners at a national and international level. It will also prove highly beneficial to students, academics and researchers in governance, social policy, business and management and political science"--

"O'Sullivan and Schmitz's Physical Rehabilitation provides a comprehensive approach to the rehabilitation management of adult patients. It is intended to serve as a primary textbook for physical therapy students and as an important resource for practicing therapists as well as for other rehabilitation professionals. Using a strong pedagogical format designed to facilitate and reinforce the learning of key concepts, the eighth edition recognizes the continuing evolution of the profession and integrates basic and applied research to guide and inform evidence-based practice. It also integrates principles of patient/client management (examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention, and outcomes) presented in the American Physical Therapy Association's Guide to Physical Therapist Practice and terminology from the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF)"--
