Recorridos
No full textThe language of the Siglo de Oro can be an insurmountable barrier for many readers. This textbook provides historical information/ narrative techniques/ lists of characters/ themes and key words before they begin to read each chapter of Don Quixote. While reading/ vocabulary glossed in comprehensible Spanish appears in the margin opposite challenging words. Cultural references and proverbs from the work facilitate a deeper understanding. Each chapter contains checks for understanding and ends with activities to build vocabulary. It includes required chapters 1-8/ 10/ 17 and 74 for AP classrooms.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1453/thumbnail.jp
Public Health Ethics: Global Cases/ Practice/ and Context
No full textIntroducing public health ethics poses two special challenges. First/ it is a relatively new field that combines public health and practical ethics. Its unfamiliarity requires considerable explanation/ yet its scope and emergent qualities make delineation difficult. Moreover/ while the early development of public health ethics occurred in a western context/ its reach/ like public health itself/ has become global. A second challenge/ then/ is to articulate an approach specific enough to provide clear guidance yet sufficiently flexible and encompassing to adapt to global contexts. Broadly speaking/ public health ethics helps guide practical decisions affecting population or community health based on scientific evidence and in accordance with accepted values and standards of right and wrong. In these ways/ public health ethics builds on its parent disciplines of public health and ethics. This dual inheritance plays out in the definition the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers of public health ethics: “A systematic process to clarify/ prioritize/ and justify possible courses of public health action based on ethical principles/ values and beliefs of stakeholders/ and scientific and other information” (CDC 2011). Public health ethics shares with other fields of practical and professional ethics both the general theories of ethics and a common store of ethical principles/ values/ and beliefs. It differs from these other fields largely in the nature of challenges that public health officials typically encounter and in the ethical frameworks it employs to address these challenges. Frameworks provide methodical approaches or procedures that tailor general ethical theories/ principles/ values/ and beliefs to the specific ethical challenges that arise in a particular field. Although no framework is definitive/ many are useful/ and some are especially effective in particular contexts. This chapter will conclude by setting forth a straightforward/ stepwise ethics framework that provides a tool for analyzing the cases in this volume and/ more importantly/ one that public health practitioners have found useful in a range of contexts. For a public health practitioner/ knowing how to employ an ethics framework to address a range of ethical challenges in public health—a know-how that depends on practice—is the ultimate take-home message.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1456/thumbnail.jp
DC Circuits
No full textThis book covers Direct Current (DC) circuit theory and is broken up into three modules. Module 1 covers the basics for circuits that include DC sources (voltage or current) and resistors. Even though Module 1 is not very difficult/ it forms the foundation for more complicated topics in modules 2 and 3 so it is important to have a firm grasp of all Module 1 topics before moving on. Module 2 covers more difficult problem solving techniques for circuits that include only DC sources and resistors. Module 3 introduces capacitors and inductors. These non-linear reactive components are analyzed in the transient and steady state regions in circuits with DC sources in Module 3. Also annexed is a two-page cheat sheet that ENGR 2431 students at University of Oklahoma can use for exams.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1460/thumbnail.jp
