Queering Nutrition and Dietetics LGBTQ+ Reflections on Food Through Art

The Building Blocks of Life A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals

The Building Blocks of Life A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals

Within the United Kingdom (UK) most mainstream healthcare practitioners receive little or no nutrition education during their years of training. As a consequence the understanding of nutrition amongst primary care practitioners such as general practitioners pharmacists midwives and practice nurses is limited and is largely focused on energy consumption and obesity. There is little knowledge of the wealth of micronutrients that underpin health nor of the ticking timebomb of insufficient intakes of those micronutrients amongst a significant proportion of the population in the UK. The Building Blocks of Life: A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals is a step towards redressing that balance. It sets out an informative and engaging narrative on how and why nutrition is the basis for good health. It discusses UK-specific issues with regards to diet and intakes of vitamins minerals essential fatty acids and other micronutrients. It also raises concerns about the potential negative health implications of the generally poor UK diet and suggests ways that healthcare practitioners can support patients in improving their long-term health outlook. Nutrition policy in the UK needs to be dragged into the 21st century and this book sets out evidence-based arguments which challenge current public health myths such as the idea that 10 micrograms of vitamin D is all anyone needs or the messaging around the consumption of saturated fat vs highly processed seed oils or that everyone can get all the nutrients they need from a varied and balanced diet. Although The Building Blocks of Life: A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals focuses on concerns around poor diet and the consequent micronutrient inadequacies in the UK the nutritional detail is relevant no matter where you are in the world. Everyone eats all the time. It is time that mainstream medicine looked towards food as both a cause and a solution to many of the chronic degenerative conditions that plague modern life. | The Building Blocks of Life A Nutrition Foundation for Healthcare Professionals

Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research A New Approach

Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research A New Approach

Traditional approaches focused on significance tests have often been difficult for linguistics researchers to visualise. Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research: A New Approach breaks these significance tests down for researchers in corpus linguistics and linguistic analysis promoting a visual approach to understanding the performance of tests with real data and demonstrating how to derive new intervals and tests. Accessibly written this book discusses the ‘why’ behind the statistical model allowing readers a greater facility for choosing their own methodologies. Accessibly written for those with little to no mathematical or statistical background it explains the mathematical fundamentals of simple significance tests by relating them to confidence intervals. With sample datasets and easy-to-read visuals this book focuses on practical issues such as how to: • pose research questions in terms of choice and constraint; • employ confidence intervals correctly (including in graph plots); • select optimal significance tests (and what results mean); • measure the size of the effect of one variable on another; • estimate the similarity of distribution patterns; and • evaluate whether the results of two experiments significantly differ. Appropriate for anyone from the student just beginning their career to the seasoned researcher this book is both a practical overview and valuable resource. | Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research A New Approach

A Pen and Paper Introduction to Statistics

A Pen and Paper Introduction to Statistics

Statistics is central in the biosciences social sciences and other disciplines yet many students often struggle to learn how to perform statistical tests and to understand how and why statistical tests work. Although there are many approaches to teaching statistics a common framework exists between them: starting with probability and distributions then sampling from distribution and descriptive statistics and later introducing both simple and complex statistical tests typically ending with regression analysis (linear models). This book proposes to reverse the way statistics is taught by starting with the introduction of linear models. Today many statisticians know that the one unifying principle of statistical tests is that most of them are instances of linear models. This teaching method has two advantages: all statistical tests in a course can be presented under the same unifying framework simplifying things; second linear models can be expressed as lines over squared paper replacing any equation with a drawing. This book explains how and why statistics works without using a single equation just lines and squares over grid paper. The reader will have the opportunity to work through the examples and compute sums of squares by just drawing and counting and finally evaluating whether observed differences are statistically significant by using the tables provided. Intended for students scientists and those with little prior knowledge of statistics this book is for all with simple and clear examples computations and drawings helping the reader to not only do statistical tests but also understand statistics. | A Pen and Paper Introduction to Statistics
