Abstract
Rehabilitation, and the management of chronic health conditions, requires patients to be proactive and engaged in their health care. Clinicians need strategies and tools to build trusting therapeutic alliances, support goal-setting, and promote behavior change that engages patients as partners in care and make patient-centered care a reality. Motivational interviewing (MI) is an evidenced based approach shown to change behaviors and increase engagement in many patient populations. MI spirit and skills are an ideal fit with the ethos and needs of the rehabilitation community. The goals of this book are to (1) provide rehabilitation professionals with the foundations of MI; (2) describe how this approach can be applied by a range of rehabilitation disciplines to address common barriers to rehabilitation engagement; and (3) provide guidance for those interested in implementing MI training in rehabilitation settings. Chapters are authored by rehabilitation experts from the many disciplines found on the interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary rehabilitation team. A unique dimension of this book is the interplay with the website—www.rehabengage.org. At this website there are video presentations on MI spirit and skills as well as video demonstrations by rehabilitation professionals using these skills in a variety of clinical situations. While the book is intended for practicing rehabilitation clinicians, educators preparing students for careers in rehabilitation will find several tools to assist them in their efforts, including recommended readings and learner reflection/discussion questions.
Family and Caregiver Dynamics
Authors: Ali Asma , Jacocks Connie 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Quality of psychosocial and caregiver support is known to have a direct impact on a range of outcomes in rehabilitation populations for both the caregiver and care recipient. Caregiver involvement can improve care recipients’ access to services and reduce unmet needs, and integrating the caregiver into care planning has been shown to reduce readmissions, shorten rehospitalizations, reduce post-discharge costs, and improve quality of life for the care recipient. Potential challenges to caregiver participation include varying emotional readiness, physical ability, confidence, changing roles in the care dyad, and development of physical, psychological, or medical problems due to strain or burden associated with additional responsibilities. This chapter explores how clinicians can utilize a solution-focused narrative and integrate motivational interviewing spirit and skills to facilitate a collaborative and productive relationship with the family or caregiver. Practical vignettes, which illustrate skill implementation, are also provided.
The Turning Point
Authors: Galea Sandro , Stein Michale D. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This book takes a critical look at the COVID-19 moment through the lens of public health science. The events of the pandemic unsettled much about the world and created a turning point for public health. The book examines how the pandemic intersected with a range of core issues, including mental health, gun violence, mass incarceration, political decision-making, vaccination, health equity, racism, poverty, digital surveillance, social and economic justice, corporate profiteering, the challenge of grief, HIV, and the work of addressing long COVID. Through these reflections, the book offers a forward-looking vision of a post-pandemic world. It argues that by addressing the conditions that shaped the COVID-19 moment, this turning point moment can yield a better future.
Defining Our Goalposts
Authors: Stein Michael D. , Galea Sandro 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter addresses the collective difficulty in understanding where health care providers stood during the pandemic and agreeing on what the pandemic’s endgame might look like. The chapter suggests that properly defined goalposts are necessary not just in times of pandemic but also in engaging with any health challenge. These goalposts can help health care providers better navigate such moments, guiding them toward a more effective pursuit of health.
From the Cold War to Putin’s Pivot
Authors: Ziegler Charles E. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on political developments in Russia’s relations with the Asia Pacific following the collapse of the Soviet state. Boris Yeltsin’s new government was preoccupied with domestic reforms and resolving constitutional and governance questions; foreign policy was oriented primarily toward the United States and Europe but nurtured an emerging partnership with China. Under Vladimir Putin, Russia’s foreign policy evolved into confrontation with the West, while domestic politics became more centralized and authoritarian. Relations with China continued to improve, and a pivot toward Asia was announced in 2012 with ambitious development plans for the Far East and reinvigorated ties with Asian Pacific nations. The strategic partnership with China has been central to Russia’s policy, though Moscow is hedging against becoming a junior partner to Beijing by engaging with India, Vietnam, and other countries in East and South Asia. As in the past, foreign policy is formulated by an autocratic executive advised by a narrow circle of loyal supporters; administration is left to a centralized and often ineffective bureaucracy unresponsive to local interests.
Russia’s Economic Prospects in the Pacific
Authors: Ziegler Charles E. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Economic backwardness has historically been the weak link in Russian capabilities, and this problem is magnified in the huge and sparsely populated regions of Siberia and the Far East. This chapter assesses the economic dimension of Russia’s pivot eastward, including development programs for the Russian Far East, trade and energy agreements with the Asian Pacific countries, demographic trends, and pipeline politics. Kremlin rhetoric has emphasized trade and investment in Russia’s Asia Pacific policy, but as in the past, political and security considerations frequently outweigh economic imperatives. Hyper-centralized, statist approaches stifle local initiative and entrepreneurial creativity. Bureaucratic mismanagement, a preference for showy state mega-projects over small or medium private businesses, and arbitrary decision-making generate waste and corruption, while the absence of a genuine rule of law discourages foreign investment. Economic potential is central to Moscow’s claim to great power status in the Pacific, but the historical pattern suggests Russian weakness on this power dimension will lead to greater reliance on military instruments.
Logic and Arguments
Authors: Sehon Scott R. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction to nature of logical arguments and to the method of analyzing arguments by laying them out in numbered steps, with premises and inferences clearly labeled. The distinction between a valid argument and a sound argument is described. By way of illustration of the logical points, the chapter analyzes an apparent argument against socialism that is based on the example of Venezuela. The chapter explains that on some readings the argument about Venezuela is logically fallacious, and on other readings one of its premises is obviously false. The plan for the rest of the book is briefly presented.
Introduction
Authors: Pillai Sohini Sarah 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The introductory chapter of Krishna’s Mahabharatas lays out the basic argument of the book about premodern devotional Mahabharata retellings in regional South Asian languages. It begins with an overview of the Sanskrit Mahābhārata and its story for readers who may be unfamiliar with the epic. It then introduces and compares the two regional retellings at the center of the book: Villiputturar’s fifteenth-century Tamil Pāratam and Sabalsingh Chauhan’s seventeenth-century Bhasha (Old Hindi) Mahābhārat. There is also a discussion of some recent approaches that have been employed in scholarship on bhakti (devotional) literature. The introduction concludes with a chapter-by-chapter summary of the trajectory of the book.
Setting the Scene
Authors: Pillai Sohini Sarah 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Chapter 1 examines the depiction of Krishna in the Sanskrit Mahābhārata along with some of the earliest interpretations of Krishna’s character in the epic. This chapter begins by analyzing the confusing ways in which the Mahābhārata presents Krishna. Then there is a discussion of how the roughly contemporaneous ninth-century Kashmiri poetician Anandavardhana and the South Indian author(s) of the Sanskrit Bhāgavatapurāṇa are unperturbed by the perplexing depiction of Krishna in the Mahābhārata. This chapter shows how Anandavardhana uses the story of Krishna in another Sanskrit text, the Harivaṃśa, to argue that Krishna is the most important figure in the Mahābhārata. This chapter also demonstrates how the Bhāgavatapurāṇa recasts the Pandavas from the Sanskrit epic as Krishna’s dedicated devotees and brings together two distinct forms of Krishna: the young Krishna of Vrindavan and the adult Krishna of the Mahabharata.
Electrophysiological properties of thalamic relay neurons
Authors: Destexhe Alain , Sejnowski Terrence J. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThis chapter looks into the electrophysiological properties of thalamic relay neurons. It explains that thalamocortical (TC) neurons are the only neurons whose axons project from the thalamus to the cortex. TC cells have intrinsic properties that allow them to actively participate in oscillations that occur in the isolated thalamus as well as in the thalamocortical system. Models like the single-compartment model and reconstructed neuron model are expected to address dendritic integration in thalamic cells and the interplay between synaptic currents and voltage-dependent currents in dendrites. The chapter expounds on the contributions of these complex properties that will be determinant to explain network behaviour.
Character and Crime Propensity
Authors: Wikström Per-Olof H. , Treiber Kyle , Roman Gabriela Diana 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
What makes people crime prone, and what shapes these propensities over adolescence and into young adulthood? SAT argues that people’s crime propensities are primarily determined by their law-relevant personal morality and ability to exercise self-control. This chapter explores in detail these characteristics, how they can be measured, how they change across adolescence and into young adulthood, and how their stability and change is associated with that of crime involvement. It identifies distinct trajectories of development for personal morality, the ability to exercise self-control, and crime propensity as a composite construct. To better understand what distinguishes young people who develop differing levels of crime propensities at different ages, it examines how following different trajectories of crime propensity are (and are not) associated with differences in participants’ demographic characteristics, selected childhood experiences, and key cognitive capacities. This chapter finds that young people are more distinguished by their levels of crime propensity than how their propensities change over time, but that those with the highest propensities in early adolescence experience the greatest reductions during the transition to young adulthood. It also finds some indication that the increase in young people’s crime propensities in early adolescence is mainly associated with reductions in their personal morality, while the decrease in their propensities in late adolescence and early adulthood is more associated with increases in their ability to exercise self-control.
Does Childhood Social Disadvantage and Social Adversity Set People on Particular Pathways in Crime?
Authors: Wikström Per-Olof H. , Treiber Kyle , Roman Gabriela Diana 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Do people’s childhood conditions and experiences set them onto particular pathways in crime? This chapter examines the extent to which childhood experiences of childhood social disadvantage and social adversity predict the development of crime propensities and criminogenic activity fields, and related criminal careers. The fact that social disadvantage is at best only weakly associated with crime involvement is a consistent but provocative finding in criminological research. Seeking to better understand if and how childhood experiences of social disadvantage and social adversity set people on particular trajectories of crime involvement, this chapter examines relationships between these experiences and trajectories of crime propensity, criminogenic exposure, and crime across adolescence and into young adulthood. It delves into how changing social relationships with family, peers, and schools during this time period are associated with changes in crime propensity and criminogenic exposure, and subsequently crime involvement. It finds that a slightly elevated proportion of people who experience childhood disadvantage and social adversity develop heightened trajectories of crime propensity, criminogenic exposure, and subsequently crime involvement, but most people do not, regardless of their experiences of childhood disadvantage and social adversity. Analyses highlight some differences in the social experiences of participants’ following an adolescence-limited crime trajectory that may have implications for understanding why their crime involvement drops so dramatically after age 16.
The Additions to Daniel
Authors: Grillo Jennie 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In line with the renewed attention to the material lives of texts within biblical studies, this chapter offers a material history of the Additions to Daniel: that is, the story of the physical instantiations of Greek Daniel from their earliest known existence as objects. It is a story at first of inclusion, of growing variety, then of excision, and finally of persistence. The Additions are fully included within the first biblical manuscripts of Daniel in Greek, Latin, and Syriac; in late antiquity and the Middle Ages they also inhabit a variety of formats such as psalters, picture Bibles, Books of Women, and historical chronicles. The Additions are incompletely excised from printed Greek Bibles beginning with the work of the early sixteenth-century reformer Johannes Lonicerus, but their verbal traces persist, and Bible illustrations even of the Hebrew and Aramaic text reflect the memory of the Additions.
Is This Intimate Image Abuse?
Authors: Helfer Margareth , Rosani Domenico 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThis chapter argues that certain current tendencies in the area of virtual child pornography and self-generated sexual images and videos might disregard fundamental principles of criminal law, such as the harm principle and the ultima ratio canon. In particular, the criminalization of fully virtual child pornography, created without resorting to depictions of existing minors, runs the risk of legitimizing punishment of an individual before any harmful act has actually been committed. The increasing proliferation of self-generated material, where minors freely create pornographic content depicting themselves, also calls for a critical revision of criminal provisions. In fact, the issue has increasingly been the focus of international soft law, calling on states to reconcile protection measures with the recognition of children’s agency. By providing recent examples from Italy, this chapter offers a critical analysis of ongoing trends in Europe and advocates a stricter adherence to the fundamental principles of criminal law.
The Changing Role of Internet Service Providers
Authors: Rinceanu Johanna 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter addresses the regulatory framework that governs unlawful online content, including harassment, racism, extremism, and other illegal online content, with a special focus on cyberviolence and online ‘hate speech’—including non-consensual nudity sharing (commonly referred to as revenge porn)—against women. In addition to independent efforts undertaken by Internet Service Providers to combat online criminality by means of self-imposed Community Guidelines or Terms of Use, regulations have been introduced in order to more effectively combat hate and incitement as well as extremism on the Internet. In this respect, this chapter provides an overview on international conventions and action plans, recommendations, resolutions, EU directives, guidelines, and regulations––particularly on the recent enactment of the EU’s Digital Service Act (DSA)––as well as on Germany’s Act to Improve Enforcement of the Law in Social Networks (Network Enforcement Act, NetzDG), as an example of a national regulatory model. NetzDG requires Internet Service Providers with more than two million registered users in Germany (e.g. those on the scale of Google, Facebook, YouTube, X (formerly, Twitter), and Instagram) to set up a transparent complaints management system as private actors in order to efficiently handle complaints about illegal content as defined in NetzDG. The Act imposes on Internet Service Providers the responsibility of balancing human rights and fundamental freedoms against each other, thereby changing the role of these private actors—against their will—and making them gatekeepers at the threshold of fundamental and human rights.
Seventh Conversation
Authors: Pattison George 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The conversation takes place in Glasgow’s necropolis on Easter eve. Prompted by the location, the narrator and Dostoevsky discuss memory as an essential element in spiritual development—as well as the negative effects of forgetfulness. But can there be an ‘eternal memory’? Or does the remembrance of the dead also pass away? Dostoevsky cannot answer all the narrator’s questions about heaven, including questions about his post-mortem relationships with his two wives, but he explains that it is a place in which human beings are mutually present in love, illuminated by the light of Christ that, in turn, proceeds from God and that is experienced by them as joy.
Coda
Authors: Reynolds Anna 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The coda briefly imagines a day in the life of an early modern housewife and her frequent encounters with waste paper, outlining the ways in which such textual and material encounters meant that repurposed paper came to form a prominent scaffold for thought in the period. At once impermanent, discarded, and a frequently handled remnant that lingers, waste paper enacts a particularly strong affective pull. The coda meditates on the nature of this pull and the intimacy that early moderns felt with their waste material, and the distinction between this and our own relationship with our rubbish today.
The Emergence and Resilience of New Public Management (NPM)
Authors: Lapsley Irvine , Miller Peter 
Published: February 2024

AbstractNew Public Management (NPM) has been the most significant public policy reform in decades. Despite its widespread use, it has been a contested policy from its initial adoption. There has been a succession of replacement policies which have been proposed over its life to date. Yet NPM is still in evidence. The expression NPM was coined by Hood (1991). It referred to the mimicry of private sector practices (on management structures and styles, on ownership models and the focus on accounting practices, and quantification and performance management within private sector organisations). Writings on New Public Management (NPM) have been extremely influential, even if it can no longer be described as ‘new’. It is often described as a set of management techniques and practices, which have now achieved global significance. The attractiveness of NPM to policy makers is evident. The NPM focus on results coincides with political imperatives. NPM has the appearance of ready-made answers to policy proposals. Many management consultants have become adept at advancing the case for NPM, generally, and as a solution to specific problems. However, many academic commentators have criticised NPM implementation programmes. Despite such criticism, the adherence of policymakers to NPM has ensured its prominent role in public life. This chapter outlines four dimensions of NPM, which focus on understanding both the pervasive nature of NPM and the challenges to the prevailing logic of NPM in public policy: mature NPM, NPM in action, alternative models to NPM, and NPM’s role in contemporary society.
Twenty-Five Years of the Audit Society
Authors: Power Michael 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In this chapter I revisit the motivation and core arguments in Power (1997) and focus on three specific weaknesses raised by critics: UK centrism; the tendency to ‘sample on the dependent variable’; and, despite articulating a logic of auditability, the absence of any theory of the underlying mechanism by which audit society effects persist and mutate. An answer to these criticisms and a possible research agenda has appeared over 20 years later in the form of a dynamic model of the audit trail as a formative process (Power, 2021). The chapter outlines the key elements of this model and suggests how they might inform the next generation of audit society studies focused on organisational microprocesses.
Co-existence? NPM in a Network World
Authors: Agostino Deborah , Arnaboldi Michela 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the role and the importance of New Public Management (NPM), in a changing world, where the network paradigm has been adopted in public sector entities. The focus is on performance management, a seminal feature of the NPM since its inception, which has been hardly criticised by network proponents. In the NPM paradigm, performance management plays a central role which is intended to ensure an efficient and effective service delivery. The context in which NPM developed was characterised by an emphasis on accountability, pushing towards the disaggregation of the heavy public sector in subunits, with the desire to trace more easily the responsibility between input and outputs. This theoretical configuration of a single institution in charge of service delivery facilitated the promotion of measures for management and control. This chapter examines the tensions in three organisations which individually have NPM performance management systems, but which collectively have an overarching governance system.
A Multidimensional Framework on Civil Society’s Contributions to Democracy
Authors: Bolleyer Nicole 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Which civil society organizations (CSOs) contribute to democracy, how, and why? This introduction synthesizes existing research on the roles and functions ascribed to interest groups, non-profits, civic associations, and political parties in democratic regimes. Building on this synthesis, it proposes a framework distinguishing three normative yardsticks—intra-organizational participation, engagement in interest representation, and the societal responsiveness of CSO behaviour – to evaluate CSOs’ contributions to democracy. These yardsticks are translated into four analytical dimensions that allow us to theorize and empirically capture the diverse (direct and indirect) contributions: first, the cultivation of member activism indicating organizations’ participatory activities involving members; second, the engagement in interest representation activities; third, the organizational accountability of CSO decision-making and fourth, a stable CSO identity, as two complementary indications of whether organizational behaviour is likely to be responsive to societal concerns.
