The Gut Microbiome - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Gut Microbiome - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The influence of the gut microbiome on human health and disease has been established in recent years through advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing. The Gut Microbiome: Bench to Table presents a scientific introduction to this topic, analyzes research on how the microbiome is affected by nutrients, and how dietary modifications can alter the microbiome. Written by a multidisciplinary team of experts it is divided into three sections. The first section details the current state of laboratory-scale analysis of gut microbiome samples and how we can identify the communities and their functional repertoire. Section II explains the next phase of translational research models such as preclinical, animal studies, proof of concept safety, and efficacy human trials. The third section demonstrates the effectiveness of therapeutic treatments in larger populations. It addresses how diet influences the gut microbiome and presents an array of approaches that have been reported, including a discussion of issues of the safety of probiotics and selected supplements and micronutrients. This book is essential for clinicians, dietitians and food and nutrition professionals who wish to have the most up-to-date knowledge on food sciences.

The Toxic Microbiome - Sarah Schwitalla - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Gut microbiomes are dynamic communities varying from population to population and throughout life. In Western societies, a toxic metabolic shift of gut microbiomes is a driver and underestimated risk factor for the development of many noncommunicable chronic pathologies. This book identifies the root cause of these deleterious microbial changes. During the last several decades, increased consumption of animal products, coinciding and correlating with global climate change, has been a contributing cause of undesirable gut microbiome changes. Key Features - - Establishes a connection between poor gut microbiome health and chronic disease and cancer development - - - Demonstrates how animal products and low-fiber diet patterns induce a detrimental metabolic transition of the gut microbiome from a human health-maintaining towards a disease-promoting state - - - Discusses the opportunity of a toxic microbial metabolic signature as a powerful clinical and diagnostic tool to effectively predict chronic disease and cancer development - - - Provides the latest evidence on different strategies to rebuild a healthy microbiome metabolism and effectively prevent noncommunicable diseases and colorectal cancer - - - Documents the gut microbiome benefits of a plant-based diet

The Microbiome and the Brain - David Perlmutter - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Microbiome and the Brain - David Perlmutter - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Brain related disorders are among the most challenging health issues of our time. The development of effective therapeutic and preventive strategies for these disorders relies on a comprehensive understanding of the underlying causative mechanisms. And, until recently, these mechanisms have remained somewhat elusive. The newly discovered pivotal role of the intestinal microbiome in brain health, functionality, and resistance to disease is revolutionizing neuroscience. The Microbiome and the Brain, through the contributions of some of the most forward thinking researchers and clinicians in the field, comprehensively reveals the leading edge of our understanding of the fundamental role of gut microbes and their metabolites in a wide array of seemingly diverse brain issues including Alzheimer’s disease, autism, multiple sclerosis, and mood disorders. In addition, mechanisms defining these relationships are explored along with a presentation of the state-of-the-art as it relates to interpretation of relevant laboratory assessments. Finally, novel therapeutic opportunities, derived from this exciting science are presented. Readers will learn: - - The highly validated relationship between alterations of gut microbes and their metabolites, and risk for Alzheimer’s disease. - - - The important link between autism and intestinal dysbiosis. - - - Appropriate interpretation of available laboratory assessments of the intestinal microbiome. - - - The potential role of fecal microbial transplant in neurological diseases. - - - The influence of diet and other lifestyle choices on the microbiome as it relates to brain health and functionality. -

The Human Biome and Human Behaviour - Jorge A. Colombo - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Human Biome and Human Behaviour - Jorge A. Colombo - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The book represents a critical update on interactions between the host and its gut microbiome that conditions the socio-biology of the mind and behaviour. Evidence has been scientifically approached and reveals that our conscious behaviour involves a complex interplay of multiple non-conscious domains, including complex host-gut microbiome relationships.The book describes trends and issues on which there is increasing evidence of the impact of host-gut microbiome interactions on behaviour and cultural construction of self-perception. This suggests the need to re-evaluate traditional, basic concepts of human development. Additionally, it calls attention to open issues involving conceptual themes on neurobiological integration and its impact on early developmental and social domains on the typical extended period of human postnatal helplessness during which the basic scaffolding of mental development is completed. It also deals with the impact of poverty and inadequate early feeding habits on individual cognitive development, performance, and social construction. It discusses the need to reformulate views and policies on social marginalisation, child poverty, and malnutrition involving host-gut microbiome imbalances.The spectrum of possible behaviours in all species and its plasticity depends on an integrated vector of basic components involving the genetic code, social and physical environmental, developmental conditions, the relative condition of dominance or submission in social settings –or prey/predator in the Natural Kingdom– and on its physiological and anatomical construction profiles.Graduate, postgraduate and teachers interested in areas connected with anthropology, social medicine, early education, and health policymakers will benefit greatly from this book.

Assessment Engineering in Test Design - Richard Luecht - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Assessment Engineering in Test Design - Richard Luecht - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Assessment Engineering in Test Design presents an engineering-inspired, multi-disciplinary approach to the field of applied measurement that bridges the gap between the craft of item writing and test design, the statistical sophistication of psychometric methods for scale development and maintenance, and score interpretations. This book directly addresses the topic of “next generation” assessment design head-on by proposing a new perspective, a new understanding, of the challenge of designing, developing, and implementing large- (and small-) scale educational testing programs. It introduces Assessment Engineering (AE) as a principled approach to test design where human judgment and creative license during test blueprinting and item writing are replaced with carefully developed cognitive task models that can generate highly consistent test forms that support intended statistical score scale properties and interpretations over time. In doing so, it shows how AE integrates key technologies and design principles from industrial engineering, cognitive science, information technology, machine learning and artificial intelligence, data science, statistical quality control, and advanced psychometrics to the practice of test design and development. Ultimately, this integrated approach offers improved and more consistent overall assessment quality; implementation of highly structured designs and scalable automation to reduce item production costs; reduction of item pretesting costs and exposure; improved calibration and scale maintenance over time; and more consistent generation and deployment of very high-quality, low-cost test items to meet both low- and high-volume production demands over time. Written by a major contributor to the literature on test design and scoring, Assessment Engineering in Test Design is an essential read for all students of psychology and related disciplines as well as test developers and psychometricians.

Test Theory for A New Generation of Tests - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Test Theory for A New Generation of Tests - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The editors of this volume suggest that there are missing elements in the conceptualization upon which standard test theory is based. Those elements are models for just how people know what they know and do what they can do, and the ways in which they increase these capacities. Different models are useful for different purposes; therefore, broader or alternative student models may be appropriate. The chapters in this volume consider a variety of directions in which standard test theory might be extended. Topics covered include: the role of test theory in light of recent work in cognitive and educational psychology, test design, student modeling, test analysis, and the integration of assessment and instruction.

Frontiers of Test Validity Theory - Keith A. Markus - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Frontiers of Test Validity Theory - Keith A. Markus - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Now in its second edition, this important book examines test validity in the behavioral, social, and educational sciences by exploring three fundamental problems: measurement, causation, and meaning. Psychometric and philosophical perspectives and unresolved issues receive attention, as the authors explore how measurement is conceived from both the classical and modern perspectives. Split into three accessible sections, the first contrasts theories of measurement as applied to the validity of behavioral science measures, and the second considers causal theories of measurement as well as alternative theories of causation. The final section explores the meaning and interpretation of test scores as they apply to test validity, offering a conceptual overview of the field and its current state. Each carefully revised chapter begins with an overview of key theories and literature, concludes with a list of suggested readings, and features boxes with real-life situations that connect theory to practice. Examples of specific issues include: - How tests can assess an attribute without measuring it. - The role of values in test validity. - Interpreting responses to the same question in different languages. Researchers, practitioners, and policy makers interested in test validity or developing tests will appreciate the book''s cutting-edge review of test validity. Focusing on both the underlying concepts, as well as practical challenges of test construction and use, it also serves as a supplement in graduate or advanced undergraduate courses on test validity, psychometrics, testing, or measurement taught in psychology, education, sociology, social work, political science, business, criminal justice, and other fields. The book does not assume a background in measurement.

The Turing Test Argument - Bernardo Goncalves - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Turing Test Argument - Bernardo Goncalves - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book departs from existing accounts of Alan Turing''s imitation game and test by placing Turing''s proposal in its historical, social, and cultural context. It reconstructs a controversy in England, 1946–1952, over the intellectual capabilities of digital computers, which led Turing to propose his test. It argues that the Turing test is best understood not as a practical experiment, but as a thought experiment in the modern scientific tradition of Galileo Galilei. The logic of the Turing test argument is reconstructed from the rhetoric of Turing’s irony and wit. Turing believed that learning machines should be understood as a new kind of species, and their thinking as different from human thinking and yet capable of imitating it. He thought that the possibilities of the machines he envisioned were not utopian dreams. And yet he hoped that they would rival and surpass chauvinists and intellectuals who sacrifice independent thinking to maintain their power. These would be transformed into ordinary people, as work once considered ''intellectual'' would be transformed into non-intellectual, ''mechanical'' work. The Turing Test Argument will appeal to scholars and students in the sciences and humanities and all those interested in Turing''s vision of the future of intelligent machines in society and nature.

Developing and Validating Test Items - Thomas M. Haladyna - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Developing and Validating Test Items - Thomas M. Haladyna - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Since test items are the building blocks of any test, learning how to develop and validate test items has always been critical to the teaching-learning process. As they grow in importance and use, testing programs increasingly supplement the use of selected-response (multiple-choice) items with constructed-response formats. This trend is expected to continue. As a result, a new item writing book is needed, one that provides comprehensive coverage of both types of items and of the validity theory underlying them. This book is an outgrowth of the author’s previous book, Developing and Validating Multiple-Choice Test Items, 3e (Haladyna, 2004). That book achieved distinction as the leading source of guidance on creating and validating selected-response test items. Like its predecessor, the content of this new book is based on both an extensive review of the literature and on its author’s long experience in the testing field. It is very timely in this era of burgeoning testing programs, especially when these items are delivered in a computer-based environment. Key features include … Comprehensive and Flexible – No other book so thoroughly covers the field of test item development and its various applications. Focus on Validity – Validity, the most important consideration in testing, is stressed throughout and is based on the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, currently under revision by AERA, APA, and NCME Illustrative Examples – The book presents various selected and constructed response formats and uses many examples to illustrate correct and incorrect ways of writing items. Strategies for training item writers and developing large numbers of items using algorithms and other item-generating methods are also presented. Based on Theory and Research – A comprehensive review and synthesis of existing research runs throughout the book and complements the expertise of its authors.

Test Fraud - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Test Fraud - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

There has been an increase in awareness (and perhaps occurrence) of individual and organized cheating on tests. Recent reports of widespread problems with state student accountability tests and teacher certification testing have raised questions about the very validity of assessment programs. While there are several books that specifically detail the issues of test security cheating on assessments, few outline the statistical procedures used for detecting various types of potential test fraud and the associated research findings. Without a significant research literature base, the new generation of researchers will have little opportunity or incentive to improve on existing methods. Enlisting a variety of experts and scholars in different fields of testing, this edited volume expands on the current literature base by including examples of detailed research findings arrived at by statistical methodology. It also provides a synthesis of the current state of the art with regard to the statistical detection of testing infidelity, particularly for large-scale assessments. By presenting methods currently used by testing organizations and research on new methods, the volume offers an important forum for expanding the literature in this area.
