At the same time many senior surgeons have somewhat limited experience of endovascular techniques. This book will assist junior and senior surgeons and trainees in performing all types of vascular reconstructions. A key feature of the book is its clear illustrations accompanied by pertinent case examples from vascular registries so that readers can perform these operations with clear understanding of anatomical exposure and dissection simplifying the conduct of the procedure. | Endovascular and Open Vascular Reconstruction A Practical Approach

Middle Class African Marriage A Family Study of Ghanaian Senior Civil Servants

Middle Class African Marriage A Family Study of Ghanaian Senior Civil Servants

In the 1970s among peoples of the third world migration paid employment and urban living had caused changes in domestic economies in decision making in households and in the sexual division of labour and power. This was particularly so in areas formerly subjected to colonial domination and therefore the influence of European mores and institutions. This book previously published in 1974 as Marriage Among a Matrilineal Elite this edition in 1981 provides one of the few detailed accounts of such changes by a writer who has lived the kind of life she describes that of the urban educated Akan of Southern Ghana – people who have migrated from farming and fishing villages to Accra the capital to find employment in government institutions after protracted higher education often overseas. The study is particularly interesting because it focuses upon people from an ethnic area practicing matrilineal descent and inheritance in which women and men have traditionally both worked in agriculture: in which husbands and wives have customarily resided in separate houses affording both sexes considerable autonomy as spouses and in which women have held important political offices as well as sharing responsibilities for maintenance of dependent children. Akan women provide an important model of responsible energetic females who have in the past and to some extent in the present avoided the domestic trap of wifely dependence. But as we read the trap is open to those who forsake traditional patterns of economic endeavour or whose resources vis á vis their men folk are reduced. The book was also a significant contribution to the comparative sociology of the family at the time providing an exercise in methodology in which the aim has been to evolve ways of documenting and comparing two major aspects of change in conjugal family relationships. On one hand the division of labour resources and power between spouses – the ‘jointness or segregation’ of the conjugal role relationship – and on the other the extent to which the conjugal family is a functionally discrete unit in a number of domestic activity areas: in popular and ambiguous terms whether the family is ‘extended’ or ‘nuclear’. The use of sociological concepts developed in other areas of the world gives this book a significant position in the development of a cross culturally valid sociology of the family. The subject matter and conceptual frameworks used here will thus be of interest to sociologists economists and anthropologists in general and to specialists in African and Black studies Women’s Studies and Sex Roles in particular as well as to the male and female feminists around the world. | Middle Class African Marriage A Family Study of Ghanaian Senior Civil Servants

Action at a Distance Studies in the Practicalities of Executive Management

Action at a Distance Studies in the Practicalities of Executive Management

This book examines the nature of work and management centring on documents as a class of management objects which have been relatively understudied in ethnomethodological research. Treating documents and similar artefacts as ordering devices the authors describe consociation – the social organisation of patterns of coordinated action in situations where the usual resources of face to face communication are absent. With a focus on senior managers this volume provides a description of the interior configuration of the world of senior management as the encountered everyday experience of managing drawing on first person experience rather than ethnographic fieldwork to shed new light on the importance of third person reflection upon practical understandings. An innovative study of the social character of such management objects as spreadsheets strategic plans computational models and charts Action at a Distance will appeal to scholars of sociology with interests in ethnomethodology the sociology of work and method in the social sciences. | Action at a Distance Studies in the Practicalities of Executive Management

The Silver Economy An Ageing Society in the European Union

The Silver Economy An Ageing Society in the European Union

The definition of “old” has evolved intensively over the years due to demographic changes and the ageing population is one of the most frequently discussed issues in recent decades. The profile of the 21st century senior is completely different from the senior in the second half of the 21st-century senior is completely different from the senior in the second half of the 20th century not to mention earlier periods in history. As an increasing group of benefactors of human activity they create demand for products and experiences. The system of goods and services that aims to leverage their purchasing potential and satisfy their consumption needs including living health tourism cultural information and communication needs has been referred to as the so-called Silver Economy. The book reviews the phenomenon of ageing of the EU’s population over 50. It also presents a multidimensional view of the potential for the development of this group’s economic social medical family personal and technological demand in the early 21st century. The book analyses the market behaviour of seniors and argues that the Silver Economy will grow in importance and profitability every year in various areas both public and private. This includes health finance employment leisure and well-being education and the use of digital tools. This publication is recommended for policymakers and business players who are considering how to achieve economic development through the growing and changing demand of the ageing population. For the world is now facing a challenge that no community has ever faced before – the coexistence of a long-lived population on the one hand and the growing popularity of digital technologies on the other.
