The Third Edition addresses both Fire Officer III and Fire Officer IV levels of the 2020 Edition of NFPA 1021: Standard for Fire Officer Professional Qualifications and is designed to help future chief officers as they transition from company officer and become problem-solving leaders for their organization.

Today’s chief officers must prepare themselves and the staff they lead to navigate powerful trends—including political, ethical, legal, and sociological—that are likely to shape the fire service, impacting department structures and roles in the community, and altering the demands placed not only on fire service leaders but also on the personnel they lead. The Third Edition features exceptional content to prepare today’s fire service leaders to develop the leadership skills necessary to excel in their position and motivate their department members to become an efficient, effective, and safe response force. New to the Third Edition: A section on media relations programs that addresses communication methods, policy development, and crisis management A discussion of department risk management, including the importance of creating a risk management plan, taking an inventory of potential risks faced by department employees, and implementing control measures to correct deficiencies A section on preparing to deal with an active shooter or hostile event situation A discussion of the ways generational differences may influence a department member’s workplace expectations and preferences Expanded coverage of diversity policies and practices and consideration of LGBTQ rights to reflect the current workforce Information on long-range planning, including how to create a capital improvement plan and meet training needs The Third Edition features: A clear division of Fire Officer III and IV content After-Action Review sections that include detailed chapter summaries, key terms, and Chief Officer in Action case scenarios designed to reinforce chapter content New Deputy Chief and Fire Chief Activities that encourage students to take what they have learned about the Job Performance Requirements covered in the chapters and apply it to their own departments New case study continued from Fire Officer: Principles and Practice, Fourth Edition that addresses the progression of responsibility from Fire Officer I to Fire Officer IV

Teaching Skills with Virtual Humans

Lessons from the Development of the Thinking Head Whiteboard

By: Marissa Bond,David M.W. Powers,Parimala Raghavendra

This book highlights current research into virtual tutoring software and presents a case study of the design and application of a social tutor for children with autism. Best practice guidelines for developing software-based educational interventions are discussed, with a major emphasis on facilitating the generalisation of skills to contexts outside of the software itself, and on maintaining these skills over time. Further, the book presents the software solution Thinking Head Whiteboard, which provides a framework for families and educators to create unique educational activities utilising virtual character technology and customised to match learners’ needs and interests. In turn, the book describes the development and evaluation of a social tutor incorporating multiple life-like virtual humans, leading to an exploration of the lessons learned and recommendations for the future development of related technologies.

Recovery and Mental Health

A Critical Sociological Account

By: David Pilgrim,Ann McCranie

For most of us, the term 'recovery' in mental health implies hope and normality for those suffering from emotional distress. It is understandable why recovery has therefore become a significant goal for mental health services. But what does recovery mean for those who are struggling to see it through? Is the emphasis on recovery always a positive thing. This book takes a critical sociological look at personal and public assumptions and understandings. In particular: - It explores what the recovery movement signifies today, offering readers a critical, reflexive view of its scientific, policy and political consequences - It considers what recovery means from social, medical and patient perspectives, and the implications of these conflicting views - It reveals some of the risks and benefits for people with mental health problems encountering a system that expects them to recover Offering a comprehensive and thought-provoking overview of the concept of recovery from mental illness, this book is a must-have for students studying mental health across a range of subjects, including sociology, social work, psychology and nursing.

BONUS Algorithm for Large Scale Stochastic Nonlinear Programming Problems

By: Urmila Diwekar,Amy David

This book presents the details of the BONUS algorithm and its real world applications in areas like sensor placement in large scale drinking water networks, sensor placement in advanced power systems, water management in power systems, and capacity expansion of energy systems. A generalized method for stochastic nonlinear programming based on a sampling based approach for uncertainty analysis and statistical reweighting to obtain probability information is demonstrated in this book. Stochastic optimization problems are difficult to solve since they involve dealing with optimization and uncertainty loops. There are two fundamental approaches used to solve such problems. The first being the decomposition techniques and the second method identifies problem specific structures and transforms the problem into a deterministic nonlinear programming problem. These techniques have significant limitations on either the objective function type or the underlying distributions for the uncertain variables. Moreover, these methods assume that there are a small number of scenarios to be evaluated for calculation of the probabilistic objective function and constraints. This book begins to tackle these issues by describing a generalized method for stochastic nonlinear programming problems. This title is best suited for practitioners, researchers and students in engineering, operations research, and management science who desire a complete understanding of the BONUS algorithm and its applications to the real world.
