Fysioterapeutisk undersøgelse er en grundbog, der giver en samlet præsentation af den fysioterapeutiske undersøgelse – fra teori til praksis. Bogen bygger på nyeste viden og evidens, og den beskriver det videnskabsteoretiske afsæt, alle de vigtigste elementer i den fysioterapeutiske undersøgelse samt en bred vifte af cases fra praksis. Bogens målgruppe er primært studerende og nyuddannede fysioterapeuter, og den giver en pædagogisk og systematisk præsentation af fysioterapien som fag og praksis. Bogen kan læses i rækkefølge fra start til slut for en grundlæggende indføring, men kan med fordel også anvendes som opslagsværk efter behov. Fysioterapeutisk undersøgelse giver studerende og undervisere et godt afsæt til at opbygge viden og kompetencer. Uden at komplicere fysioterapien unødigt introducerer bogen til undersøgelsesmetoder på en simpel måde, som kan hjælpe især fysioterapeutstuderende med at danne sig et nødvendigt overblik over de metoder og færdigheder, der er mest relevante i mødet med patienter og borgere, som skal undersøges og diagnosticeres.

Since the early 1990s the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of powder diffraction data has undergone something of a revolution in its ability to do just that: yield important structural information beyond the average crystal structure of a material. With the advent of advanced sources, computing and algorithms, it is now useful for studying the structure of nanocrystals, clusters and molecules in solution or otherwise disordered in space, nanoporous materials and things intercalated into them, and to look for local distortions and defects in crystals. It can be used in a time-resolved way to study structural changes taking place during synthesis and in operating devices, and to map heterogeneous systems. Although the experiments are somewhat straightforward, there can be a gap in knowledge when trying to use PDF to extract structural information by modelling. This book addresses this gap and guides the reader through a series of real life worked examples that gradually increase in complexity so the reader can have the independence and confidence to apply PDF methods to their own research and answer their own scientific questions. The book is intended for graduate students and other research scientists who are new to PDF and want to use the methods but are unsure how to take the next steps to get started.

As cultural documents, as works of art, and as historical records, photographs of 1930s Arizona tell a remarkable story. They capture enduring visions of the Depression that linger in cultural memory: dust storms, Okies on their way to California, breadlines, and ramshackle tent cities. They also reflect a more particular experience and a unique perspective. This book places the work of local Arizonans alongside that of federal photographers both to illuminate the impact of the Depression on the state's distinctive racial and natural landscapes and to show the influence of differing cultural agendas on the photographic record. The more than one hundred images by well-known photographers such as Dorothea Lange and Laura Gilpin as well as by an array of less familiar photographers?represent a variety of purposes and perspectives, from public to personal, political to promotional. Six essays and three photo-essays bring together prominent authorities in history, the arts, and other fields who provide diverse perspectives on this period in Arizona and American history. Viewed together, the words and images capture a Depression-era Arizona bustling with activity as federally funded construction projects and seasonal agricultural jobs brought migrants and newcomers to the state. They convey the celebrations and the struggles of commercial photographers, archaeologists, city folks, farmers, tourists, native peoples and others in these hard times. As the economic strains of the decade reverberated through the state, local photographers documented the lives of Arizona residents?including those frequently overlooked by historians. As this book persuasively shows, photographs can conceal as much as they reveal. A young Mexican American girl stands in front of a backdrop that hides the outhouse behind her, a deeply moving image for what it suggests about the efforts of her family to conceal their economic circumstances. Yet this image is a perfect metaphor for all the photographs in this book: stories remain hidden, but when viewers begin to question what they cannot see, pictures resonate more loudly than ever before. This book is a history of Arizona written from the photographic record, offering a point of view that may differ from the written record. From the images and the insights of the authors, we can gain a new appreciation of how one state, nd its indomitable people?weathered our nation's toughest times.
