Improving Representation in Clinical Trials and Research: Building Research Equity for Women and Underrepresented Groups
ISBN: 9780309278201 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The United States has long made substantial investments in clinical research with the goal of improving the health and well-being of our nation. There is no doubt that these investments have contributed significantly to treating and preventing disease and extending human life. Nevertheless, clinical research faces a critical shortcoming. Currently, large swaths of the U.S. population, and those that often face the greatest health challenges, are less able to benefit from these discoveries because they are not adequately represented in clinical research studies. While progress has been made...

Frontiers in Data Analytics and Monitoring Tools for Extreme Materials: Proceedings of a Workshop
ISBN: 9780309702263 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. One of the major challenges in materials science today is developing materials that can survive and function in extreme environments, such as the high-radiation environments found in a fission or fusion reactor or the ultra-high temperature experienced by a hypervelocity vessel or a spacecraft traveling through Earths atmosphere on its return to the planets surface. What is needed to discover such materials was the topic of a 2-day workshop held at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on October 5-6, 2022. That workshop, titled Materials in Extreme Environments: New...

Exploring Psychedelics and Entactogens as Treatments for Psychiatric Disorders: Proceedings of a Workshop
ISBN: 9780309691376 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Psychiatric illnesses - such as major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, substance use disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - are widely prevalent and represent a substantial health burden worldwide. Yet, conventional medications for mental illnesses often fail to provide relief to patients' disruptive and disabling symptoms. Existing and emerging evidence that psychedelics (e.g., LSD and psilocybin) and entactogens (e.g., MDMA) may be useful as tools to alleviate mental illness has sparked a renaissance of interest by investigators, clinicians, drug developers, and patient...

Understanding the Aging Workforce: Defining a Research Agenda
ISBN: 9780309493871 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The aging population of the United States has significant implications for the workforce - challenging what it means to work and to retire in the U.S. In fact, by 2030, one-fifth of the population will be over age 65. This shift has significant repercussions for the economy and key social programs. Due to medical advancements and public health improvements, recent cohorts of older adults have experienced better health and increasing longevity compared to earlier cohorts. These improvements in health enable many older adults to extend their working lives. While higher labor market...

Innovation, Global Value Chains, and Globalization Measurement: Proceedings of a Workshop
ISBN: 9780309277952 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In recent decades, production processes of intermediate and final products have been increasingly fragmented across countries in what are called global value chains (GVCs). GVCs may involve companies in one country outsourcing stages of production to unrelated entities in other countries, multinational enterprises (MNEs) offshoring stages of production to units of the MNE overseas, or both. GVCs can also involve completely independent companies merely sourcing their parts from whichever upstream company may be the most competitive, with no control arrangement necessarily involved. The...
