Læsning med farverEn brik i puslespillet om overvindelseaf læse- og indlæringsvanskeligheder“Denne bog giver håb for mange børn og voksne,der oplever problemer med læsning og/eller indlæring”Helen Irlens bog er den første, der beskriver effekten af og løsningen på et udbredt og hårdnakket problem, der volder mange børn og voksne problemer med at lære at læse, eller læse let og ubesværet. Bogen punkterer også myten om, at vi alle ser tekst på samme måde.Problemet: IRLEN SYNDROM (IS)Irlen Syndrom er en perceptuel dysfunktion, der bevirker, at hjernen ikke kan bearbejde det visuelle input korrekt. IS skyldes ikke en defekt ved synet men en følsomhed over for fuldspektret lys, især ved visse belysningsforhold, hvorved hjernen modtager en for voldsom sansepåvirkning og udsættes for visuelt stress.Personer med IS kan opleve mange varianter af perceptionsforvrængninger (fx spejlvendte bogstaver) og fysisk ubehag i varierende styrkegrader samt problemer med fx afstandsbedømmelse. IS afsløres ikke via standardiserede prøver eller undersøgelser hos læge, synsspecialister, sundhedsplejerske og psykolog – kun ved en egentlig screening for Irlen Syndrom. Mange skoler er så småt begyndt at teste for IS men der er lang vej igen.Løsningen: IRLEN METODENVed brug af farver i form af farvede læsefolier (plastic­ark til at lægge henover teksten under læsning) eller individuelt farvede filterlinser (som brilleglas eller kontaktlinser) kan hjernens funktionsevne afbalanceres, så visuelle forstyrrelser og ubehag reduceres eller elimineres.Irlen Metoden er et af de mest bemærkelsesværdige bidrag til undervisningssystemet i vores tid og underbygget af mere end 10 års forskning.Bogen henvender sig til:Undervisere, læsevejledere, specialunder-visere, bibliotekarer, studerende, politikere m.fl.Synsspecialister, læger, sundhedsplejersker og psykologer.Forældre til børn med læse- og/eller indlærings-vanskeligheder m.m.Personer der selv oplever effekten af Irlen Syndrom i form af forvrænget tekst eller ubehag og ineffektivitet under læsning.I bogen kan du læse meget mere om bl.a.:Hvordan IS kan hæmme læsning og indlæring.Symptomerne rækker videre end læsning.IS i samspil med dysleksi og andre problemer.Effekten af IS på adfærd, selvtillid og familie.Personlige omkostninger for personer med IS.Hvorfor IS er lettere at afhjælpe end mange andre problemer.Hvordan skoler kan hjælpe elever med IS.Fejlbehandling/fejlfortolkning af læseproblemer.Screening for IS – hvordan og hvor tit.Hvordan omgivelserne bidrager til problemet.IS og standardiserede test.IS og arvelighed.Læseproblemer består ofte af mange lag.Hvordan perceptionsvanskeligheder begrænser fremskridt uanset anvendte læsemetoder.Hvad forældre kan holde øje med.Hvorfor indlæringsproblemer kan overses.Udiagnosticeret IS kan koste skolerne dyrt.Myter, fordomme, antagelser, manglende viden.Hvem kan ellers have glæde af Irlen Metoden.I bogen er der også:10 siders tekst på forskellige baggrundsfarverEn selvtest for Irlen SyndromEksempler på perceptionsforvrængningerFyldig indholdsfortegnelse og registerBrede marginer til notaterUdtalelser fra mange personer med IS

Hvad er det vigtigste at vide om cellens fysiologi? Det får du svaret på i denne danske fremstilling af den humane celles fysiologi.Bogen er skrevet til medicinstuderende, der søger en dansksproget og lettilgængelig gennemgang af cellefysiologien. Den kan dog også bruges af studerende i blandt andet odontologi, molekylær biomedicin, klinisk biomekanik samt medicin med industriel specialisering.Cellefysiologi indeholder den centrale viden om cellens struktur og funktion, herunder DNA og proteinsyntese, organeller, receptorer og cellekontakter samt neuronal signalering og muskelfysiologi. I bogen gennemgås derfor den excitable celle, og der gives en integreret forståelse for cellens fysiologi, der i andre lærebøger er opdelt. På denne måde får læseren en helhedsforståelse for den humane celles mekanismer.Bogen kan læses fra ende til anden, men også bruges som opslagsværk, semester efter semester, da kapitlerne kan tilegnes uafhængigt af hinanden. For eksempel er den nyttig ved en lang række kurser i organspecifik fysiologi, da cellefysiologi udgør fundamentet for forståelsen af organsystemernes funktion.Cellefysiologi dækker studiemålene på de medicinske fakulteter i København, Aarhus, Odense og Aalborg. Den er fortalt i et letforståeligt sprog, er yderst velillustreret og indeholder en lang række kliniske bokse, der sætter fysiologien i medicinsk perspektiv.Kristine Svinning Valeur og Thomas Tursø-Finnich er læger med tilsammen 10 års undervisererfaring ved de medicinske studieretninger på Københavns Universitet.

Need to Learn Anatomy and Physiology Terms Quickly? Read on for a Proven Method That Gets You There Half the Time.If you're a student or practitioner in the medical field, you know how critical a firm grasp of anatomy and physiology terminology is. And yet, if you're studying these concepts and vocabulary, you also know how daunting the task can be.There's no denying the size of the task. With over 200 bones and 600 muscles in the body, you must assimilate thousands of terms into your working vocabulary. Therefore, it's essential to understand more meaningful concepts to practice and communicate in the field.The good news is that once you have a solid foundation, you will not only ace your upcoming exams and have more fruitful conversations with colleagues, but your learning will take off.Learning new terms requires understanding their relationship with other terms and concepts.After learning the language of bones, your understanding of the overall subject matter also increases, leading to the fast acquisition of new knowledge.Yet, the biggest problem is the outdated teaching method most professors use to hammer the terms in your brain.With our updated approach, you will memorize the terms twice as fast and more effectively.A traditional textbook presents overwhelming information, making it hard to focus on the essentials alone.Think about it. The average reading speed of most adults is around 200 to 250 words per minute. That's half a page, unfortunately, often filled with empty fluff.What if there is a study guide that effectively organizes essential information while stripping out whatever isn't fundamental?Anatomy and Physiology cover all the necessary terminology and are organized to eliminate the obstacles to learning. You'll discover:Q&As answering beginner's and expert's questions, reinforcing your learning from another angle.Grouped terminology by category to keep the context consistent and allow you to work with related words to concentrate your effort.Study tips specialized for memorizing anatomy and physiology concepts and terminology. (A few minor tweaks make all the difference!)A primer in Greek and Latin that demystifies why a term was named as it was (helping your understanding and memorization!)Listing of prefixes and suffixes necessary for understanding a term's function and its relationship to other vocabularies.Specialized sections on the skeletal system and regions of the body.Conceptual primers to help you see how everything fits together.Even specific music to make your study even more effective.And much more.Many nursing and medical students resist adding a study guide to their learning regimen, reasoning that they already cover the content in the core materials.But you don't get bogged down in secondary information by extracting only the most essential part (i.e., the terminology, which establishes the foundation for learning everything else), meaning you get what you need most, fast.If you want to learn the necessary anatomy and physiology terminology faster than you thought to reap profound learning benefits, scroll up and click the Add to Cart button.

Maintaining an ideal weight throughout life is the most beneficial thing someone can do for their body. A healthy body and ideal weight can be achieved with proper nutrition and lifestyle, starting from childhood and even infancy. Therefore, it is important for those raising children to be conscious of this issue and to be good role models and guides for their children by exhibiting the healthiest lifestyle habits. We know that it is almost impossible to remove excess fat tissue acquired during childhood from the body at later ages. Body fat accumulation is usually evaluated by body mass index (BMI), which is calculated using weight and height proportions. BMI is an effective and useful tool for both people and healthcare professionals to track body fat percentage. However, when monitoring body fat with BMI special adjustments need to be made in children, the elderly, different genders, and individuals with high muscle mass. This book provides a comprehensive overview of BMI as a screening measure.
