This approach, by drawing on the power of computers to perform numerical computations and graphical constructions, stimulates formal learning of mathematics through making sense of a computational experiment. It allows one (in the spirit of [NAME]) to bridge serious mathematical content and contemporary teaching practice. In other words, the notion of teaching experiment can be extended to include a true mathematical experiment. When used appropriately, the approach creates conditions for collateral learning (in the spirit of Dewey) to occur including the development of skills important for engineering applications of mathematics. In the context of a mathematics teacher education program, the book addresses a call for the preparation of teachers capable of utilizing modern technology tools for the modeling-based teaching of mathematics with a focus on methods conducive to the improvement of the whole STEM education at the secondary level. By the same token, using the book’s pedagogy and its mathematical content in a pre-college classroom can assist teachers in introducing students to the ideas that develop the foundation of engineering profession. | <p>Extents the notion of experimental mathematics to include pre-college curriculum</p><p>Introduces a pedagogy of computer experimentation with mathematical models depending on parameters</p><p>Provides teacher candidates with research-like experience in mathematics and its pedagogy</p><p>Presents modeling activities in both technology-enabled and technology-immune approach</p><p>Presents original examples of experimental mathematics pedagogy</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11649 | Mathematics and Statistics

Providing an intimate and revealing portrait of the Nordic nation’s schools and its teacher training system, it sets out to explain why Finland’s students consistently rank top, with low variance and moderate inputs, among OECD countries across the range of criteria, from reading to mathematics. Alongside the detailed analysis culled from many hours of interviews with teachers and principals and dozens of visits to school throughout the country, the author maps the educational landscape of Finland: the sector’s history, culture and development, its guiding principles, methodologies, and learning environments. The result is a cogent assessment of how and why Finland is universally regarded as a high-grade educational exemplar. The volume provides the hundreds of researchers, teaching professionals, and policy makers who visit Finland in search of inspiration with essential background material on the country’s magic educational ingredients, which include a highly motivated cohort of well-trained teachers, a recognition of the vital importance of early years education and nurture, functional and inviting learning environments, and a rejection of pedagogical dogma in favour of developing methodologies that produce results at the same time as fostering students’ confidence and collegiality. At the same age, Finland’s schoolchildren have roughly one less year of formal schooling than most of their international counterparts, do not consider themselves to be overworked, and rank alongside hot-housed Singaporean or South Korean youngsters in international assessments of achievement. They are the educational equivalent of world-beating sports stars who make success appear effortless. This volume lifts the lid on the hard work and careful planning that underpin their achievements. | <p>Provides a thorough analysis of the Finnish education system and its cultural context not only on national level but par excellence on local, school and classroom level</p><p>Privileges the narratives of teachers and principals and shows the material within the framework of the Finnish success education literature</p><p>Develops the idea that Finland is a learning environment</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Marking Communicative Repertoire through Metacommentary. | This volume presents evidence about how we understand communication in changing times, and proposes that such understandings may contribute to the development of pedagogy for teaching and learning. It expands current debates on multilingualism, asking which signs are in use and in action, and what are their social, political, and historical implications. The volume’s starting-point is Bakhtin’s ‘heteroglossia’, a key concept in understanding the tensions, conflicts, and multiple voices within, among, and between those signs. The chapters provide illuminating accounts of language practices as they bring into play, both in practice and in pedagogy, voices which index students’ localities, social histories, circumstances, and identities. The book documents the performance of linguistic repertoires in an era of profound social change caused by the shifting nature of nation-states, increased movement of people across territories, and growing digital communication. “Our thinking on language and multilingualism is expanding rapidly. Up until recently we have tended to regard languages as bounded entities, and multilingualism has been understood as knowing more than one language. Working with the concept of heteroglossia, researchers are developing alternative perspectives that treat languages as sets of resources for expressing meaning that can be drawn on by speakers in communicatively productive ways in different contexts. These perspectives raise fundamental questions about the myriad of ways of knowing and using language(s). This collection brings together the contributions of many of the key researchers in the field. It will provide an authoritative reference point for contemporary interpretations of ‘heteroglossia’ and valuable accounts of how ‘translanguaging’ can be explored and exploited in the fields of education and cultural studies.” Professor [NAME], King’s College London, UK.'From rap and hip hop to taxi cabs, and from classrooms to interactive online learning environments, each of the chapters in this volume written by well-known and up-and-coming scholars provide fascinating accounts drawing on a wide diversity of rich descriptive data collected in heteroglossic contexts around the globe. Creese and Blackledge have brought together a compelling collection that builds upon and expands Bakhtin’s construct of heteroglossia. These scholars help to move the field away from the view of languages as separate bounded system by providing detailed examples and expert analyses of the ways bilinguals and multilinguals draw upon their linguistic repertoires for effective and meaningful communication.'

Here, communication is treated as a distributed phenomenon involving networks of persons, activities and artifacts, and extends beyond doctor-patient relationships to working in and across teams around patients. The purpose of the book is to stimulate thinking about how patient care and safety may be improved through a focus upon the ‘non-technical’ work of doctors – interpersonal communication, teamwork and situation awareness in teams. The focus is then not on the personality of the doctor, but on the dynamics of relationships which form doctors’ multiple identities. | <p>Challenges all previous models of communication between patients and doctors </p><p>Explains how the non-technical focus of communication can improve patient outcomes and increase patient safety </p><p>Focuses on the dynamics of the doctor/patient relationship</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11650 | Medicine

It is argued that the antidote to this is, however, not to aspire to ‘thought itself’, but instead to do justice to its own rootedness in the ‘material’, including textuality. From an historical point of view such an innovative approach can itself revamp the material scholarly culture and the way it is represented. The chapters address a variety of topics such as the cultural heritage of the school desk, the significance of images for research into long-term educational processes, the way iconic signs function, and how modes of enquiry relate to the materiality of education. Attention is also given to standards for reporting on educational research studies and how these limit the scope and communication and moreover shape researchers, to the forms of citation practices as substantially influencing methods and content, and to the centrality of conversation not just as the means to an end but as what matters; further to representational and to non-representational theories for educational research. Some examples are drawn from the area of arts-based educational research, from mathematics education, and from the discourse on universities. | <p>Challenges prevailing ideas about the ‘application’ of philosophy and history of education </p><p>Demonstrates in a unique way how philosophical and historical approaches are relevant for the practice and theory of education and for educational research </p><p>Takes the debate of the historical and philosophical complexities and constraints of the discourse of educational research in the context of material culture and its representation a step further</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The people of Malaysia constitute a diverse ethnic, linguistic and cultural population and one of the continuing challenges is the development and establishment of the Malaysian people’s ethnic, national and global cultural identities. This challenge is evident in the journey of language and cultural policy from the post-independence period to the 21st century; a period of over 50 years. The book highlights political, socio-cultural, economic and knowledge economy factors as they impact on decisions made by the government with regard to language policy in the various educational systems. It examines decisions made on the selection of the national language, the medium of instruction in educational systems, the varying changes in language policy for the field of science and technology and the maintenance and sustenance of minority languages. | <p>Deals with language policy, educational policy and nation building in multi-ethnic societies, framed by practical experience in one of Asia’s most ethnically diverse countries, Malaysia </p><p>Highlights political, socio-cultural, economic and knowledge economy factors and their impact on government decisions with regards to language policies and education</p><p>Examines the dynamic tension between national collective identity and ethnic identity in majority and minority ethnic groups</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Improving Workplace Learning in Teacher Education. | This book explores teacher workplace learning from four different perspectives: social policy, international comparators, multi-professional stances/perspectives and socio-cultural theory. First, it considers the policy and practice context of professional learning in teacher education in England, and the rest of the UK, with particular reference to professional masters level provision. The importance of teachers’ and schools’ perceptions of improvement, development and learning, and the inherent tensions between individual, school and government priorities is explored. Second, the book considers models of teacher workplace learning to be found in international research and practice to explore what perspective they can bring to understanding policy and practice relating to workplace learning in the UK. Third, it draws on cross-professional analysis to get an intellectual and theoretical purchase on workplace learning by examining how insights from across the professions can provide us with useful perspectives on policy and practice. The analysis draws particularly on insights from medicine and educational psychology. Fourth, the book cross-fertilises research and practice across the field of education by drawing on insights from perspectives such as socio-cultural and activity theory and situated learning/cognition to discover what they can offer in analysing the theoretical and pedagogic underpinnings of teacher workplace learning. In short, the book offers a number of contexts for exploring how best to conceptualise and theorise learning in the workplace in order to generate evidence to inform policy and practice and facilitates the development of a more theoretically informed and robust model of workplace learning and teaching. | <p>Offers international comparators of the policy and practice relating to teacher education</p><p>Offers cross professional insights into teacher workplace learning</p><p><p>Presents the current state of research on teacher pre-service and continuing professional learning</p><p><p>Links several theoretical perspectives to significant practical and political issues</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

In this work, graphs are both topic and tool. In discovery work, where scientists do not initially know what to make of graphs, there is a lot of uncertainty and scientists struggle in trying to make sense of what to make of graphs. Contrary to the belief that scientists unproblematically “interpret” graphs, the chapters in this book show that uncertainty about their research object is tied to uncertainty of the graphs. It may, as in this study, take several years of struggle in their workplace before scientists come to know just what their graphs are evidence of. Scientists may resist what eventually comes to be known as the correct interpretations – leading, as in the present case, to a discovery that overthrows what has been a 60-year scientific canon. Graphs turn out to stand to the entire research in a part/whole relation, where scientists not only need to be highly familiar with the context from which their data are extracted but also with the entire process by means of which the natural world comes to be transformed and represented in the graph. This has considerable implications for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education at the secondary and tertiary level and in vocational training.  ​ | Further development of [NAME]'s 'anthropology of graphing' <br>Describes graphs and graphing in scientific discovery work from the initial study to the publication of a journal article <br>Raises serious doubts about teaching graphs and graphing independent of the settings in which they are produced   ​ | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Its particular focus is on the interplay between the linguistic and orthographic structure of Arabic and the development of reading and writing/spelling. In addition, the book addresses the socio-cultural, political and educational milieu in which Arabic literacy is embedded. It enables readers to appreciate both the implications of empirical research to literacy enhancement and the challenges and limitations to the applicability of such insights in the Arabic language and literacy context. The book will advance the understanding of the full context of literacy acquisition in Arabic with the very many factors (religious, historical, linguistic etc.) that interact and will hence contribute to weakening the anglocentricity that dominates discussions of this topic. | <p>Brings together linguistics and the broader context of Arabic literacy [NAME]Combines new findings from empirical research with insights from scientific surveys</p><p>Constructs a comprehensive account of literacy in Arabic</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

However, the staff recruited to support this development often does not have the design skills or experience to generate courses that bear the hallmarks of effective online learning experiences. While the principles associated with the practice of instructional design provided pedagogical guidance for these design efforts, it remains commonplace for courses to present as little more than information delivery with no clear strategies for student engagement and interaction. The purpose of this book is to expand on the design concepts documented by the lead author and to present both a design framework and design strategies that will allow organisations to provide courses that embed the affordances of the online, social environment and maximize opportunities for engagement and learning in formal learning contexts. The authors contend that to truly achieve the potential of learning in an online environment, designers need to be alchemists - ensuring the current face-to-face classroom 'gold' is not turned to lead and to transform those 'leaden' online courses that do not engage or provide interaction into motivating and engaging 'golden' learning experiences. | <p>Uses colloquial language to explain instructional design </p><p>Documents state of the art strategies for online learning environments </p><p>Presents educational design theory and provides practice strategies for researchers and practitioners alike</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

In addition, it describes a multitude of ways, ranging from workshops to the workplace, in which health professionals can develop their knowledge and skills. By providing an informed and scholarly overview of faculty development, and by describing original content that has not been previously published, this book helps to ensure that research and evidence inform practice, moves the scholarly agenda forward, and promotes dialogue and debate in this evolving field. It will prove an invaluable resource for faculty development program planning, implementation and evaluation, and will help to sustain faculty members’ vitality and commitment to excellence. [NAME], M.D., Ph.D., May 2013: In this text, [NAME] and her colleagues have provided a significant contribution to the future of faculty development. In an academic and comprehensive way, the authors have both documented past efforts in faculty development as well as provided guidance and stimuli for the future. The scholarly and well-referenced chapters provide a compendium of methods previously used while emphasizing the expanding areas deserving work. Moreover, the writers consistently elucidate the faculty development process by highlighting the theoretical underpinnings of faculty development and the research conducted. Thus, the book provides an important resource for two major groups, current providers and researchers in faculty development as well as those desiring to enter the field.  Both groups of readers can benefit from a reading of the entire book or by delving into their major area of interest and passion. In so doing, they will better understand our successes and our limitations in this emerging field. Faculty development in the health professions has now received attention for 6 decades. Yet, dedicated faculty members trying to address the challenges in medical education and the health care delivery system do not have all the assistance they need to achieve their goals. This book provides a valuable resource towards that end. | <p>Is the first comprehensive review of faculty development in the health professions, filling a critical gap in the literature</p><p>Takes a broad perspective on faculty development and addresses faculty members’ roles as teachers and educators, leaders and managers, and researchers and scholars</p><p>Examines both research and practice, suggests new ways of helping faculty members to achieve their potential, and describes future directions and areas of inquiry </p><p>Represents the collective efforts of an experienced team of international and interprofessional scholars and educators</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

[NAME] here shows ways to deal with the awkward fact that common sense thinking is often not the same as scientific thinking. She analyses examples of frequent and widespread errors and confusions, which provide a real eye-opener for the teacher. More than that, she shows ways to avoid and overcome them. The book argues against over-emphasis on “fun” applications, demonstrating that students also enjoy and value clear thinking. The book has three parts:  • making sense of special scientific ways of reasoning (words, images, functions) • making connections between very different topics, each illuminating the other • simplifying, looking for consistency and avoiding incoherent over-simplification The book is enhanced with supplementary online materials that will allow readers to further expand their teaching or research interests and think about them more deeply. | <p>Offers practical examples of appropriate teaching practices</p><p>Emphasizes the value of the process of reasoning</p><p>Exposes many of the distorted or false interpretations common in much current physics teaching</p><p>Includes a Foreword by [NAME], former CNRS Director General</p><p>Enriched with illustrations, a comprehensive bibliography and online supplementary materials</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It provides in-depth Socratic and Kantian bases for a new version of retributivism, and defends that version against the main criticisms that have been raised against retributivism in general. It includes chapters on criminal recidivism and capital punishment, as well as one on forgiveness, apology and punishment that is congruent with the basic precepts of the new retributivism defended therein. Finally, chapters on corporate responsibility and punishment are included, with a closing chapter on holding the U.S. accountable for its most recent invasion and occupation of Iraq. The book is well-focused but also presents the widest ranging set of topics of any book of its kind as it demonstrates how the concepts of responsibility and punishment apply to some of the most important problems of our time.“This is one of the best books on punishment, and the Fourth Edition continues its tradition of excellence.  The book connects punishment importantly to moral responsibility and desert, and it is comprehensive in its scope, both addressing abstract, theoretical issues and applied issues as well.  The topics treated include collective responsibility, apology, forgiveness, capital punishment, and war crimes.  Highly recommended.”—John [NAME], Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of California, Riverside. | <p>Provides solid link between concepts of responsibility and punishment </p><p>Provides a defence of a new retributivist analysis of punishment </p><p>Provides discussions of timely topics in the law such as capital punishment, corporate responsibility and punishment, and the U.S.'s responsibility for its recent invasion and occupation of Iraq</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Intended as a read for both practitioners and academics, this book provides a comprehensive treatise of the characteristics, the potential and the limits of nonbinding instruments in international environmental law and governance. An extensive overview and typology of nonbinding instruments as well as several case studies from the areas of fisheries (FAO), hazardous substances (UNEP/FAO) and corporate social responsibility (OECD) provide the material for an in-depth analysis of the role of nonbinding instruments on all levels of governance. The book demonstrates the potential but also highlights the limits of nonbinding instruments in the interplay with customary and treaty law (e.g. UNCLOS, WTO) as bases for interinstitutional linkages and as tools to shape the behaviour of states and private actors. Legitimacy challenges arising from this form of exercise of authority are then discussed in the final chapter, alongside with remedies to address possible concerns. | <p>Comprehensive overview, many examples and in-depth case studies provide rich reference material for both practice and research</p><p>Analysis of functions and limits will enable decision-makers to take more informed decisions on legal form</p><p>Legitimacy analysis with its specific focus on nonbinding norms provides a new perspective for researchers and gives suggestions for practitioners working in national government, NGOs and international institutions</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

While the 20th century has seen the true awakening of human rights, the 21st century poses new challenges to this ever-unfolding area of law. Not only do international tribunals and quasi-tribunals worldwide and domestic US and European continental courts have to deal with increasing numbers of complaints and petitions from individuals and groups on a vast array of societal problems, the legal issues put to them are sometimes extremely difficult to resolve as they relate to very sensitive issues. This book examines issues ranging from the status of human rights under US law to the status of the ECHR in the broader context of international law. It looks at the role of positive obligations in the case law of the Strasbourg Court, as well the impact of its case-law on childbirth and push-back operation towards boat people, but also at the growing unwillingness of ECHR member states to cooperate with the Strasbourg Court. It explores the new frontiers in US Capital punishment litigation, the first case before the International Criminal Court and the legal effect of judgments of the European Court on third states.​ | <p>Brings together US and European scholars on a range of key human rights issues </p><p>Deals with legal frontier human rights issues in Europe and the Americas </p><p>Elaborates upon the reasoning of national and international adjudicators</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It is a rare and welcome melding of comparative law and comparative politics using both original data and qualitative analysis. Wide-ranging, probing, and definitive, this book is an invaluable resource for students of law, politics, and multi-level governance.[NAME], Burton Craige Professor, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Chair in Multilevel Governance, [NAME] | <p>The first comprehensive study of federalism and legal unification</p><p>Includes surprising findings that should make scholars rethink their abandonment of the civil/law common/law distinction in comparative law </p><p>Endorsed by the International Academy of Comparative Law, the world's premier association for the study of comparative law​</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

From an international and comparative perspective, one of the key findings of the author's research is that progress towards human rights depends more on judges than on legislators. Chinese legislators have enacted a series of reforms in order to better protect human rights. Unfortunately, these reforms have not led to greater adherence to China’s international human rights obligations in practice. The reforms failed because they have generally been misunderstood by Chinese judges, who often have a limited understanding of international human rights norms. Specifically, this book will examine how judicial misunderstandings have blocked reforms in one specific area, the use of severe punishments, based on international human rights theory and case studies and data analyses. This examination has several purposes. The first is to suggest that China ratify the ICCPR as the next step for its substantive progress in human rights and as a good preparation for its re-applying to be a member of the UN Human Right Council in the future. The second is to explain how judges could be better educated in international human rights norms so as to greatly reduce the use of severe punishments and better comply with China's human rights obligations. The third is to demonstrate how the international community could better engage with China in a manner that is more conducive to human rights improvements. The author's ultimate goal is to enhance dialogue on human rights in China between judges and the Chinese government, between Chinese judges and their foreign counterparts and between China's government and the international community.Another significant aim of this book is to clarify the controversial question of what obligations China should undertake before its ratification of the ICCPR and to re-examine trends in its developing human rights policy after standing down from the Council in late 2012. The tortuous progress of China’s criminal law and criminal justice reforms has confirmed that Chinese judges need further instruction on how to apply severe punishments in a manner consistent with international standards. Judges should be encouraged to exercise more discretion when sentencing so that penalties reflect the intent of relevant domestic laws as well as the international human rights standards enumerated in the ICCPR. In order to better educate and train judges, this book contains introductory chapters that examine the severe punishments currently available to Chinese judges from an international human rights perspective. To illustrate how Chinese justice currently falls short of international norms, this paper also examines several cases that are considered to be indicative of China’s progress towards greater respect for human rights and the rule of law. These cases demonstrate that China still has a long way to go to achieve its goals, at least before abolishing the death penalty, forced labor and torture. | <p>Case studies and the latest data help the reader to learn the major factors leading to harsh punishments and human right abuses in today’s China</p><p>A special chapter on the Next Steps for a Human Rights Strategy prepares readers for the future, building on China’s good first step of ratifying the ICCPR early on</p><p>Includes tips on how to avoid misunderstandings in human rights dialogues, particularly those between China and the international community</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It proposes a focus not on trading market access concessions only, but on discussions aimed at understanding each other's regulatory approaches. To date, in terms of the literature available, we know very little about how WTO Members are managing their Mode 4 commitments. We know even less about how the WTO could learn from clearly more advanced steps in regional liberalization processes. This Book addresses these issues- through case studies of market access and national treatment commitments, and regulatory approaches in Economic Integration Agreements of a select group of WTO Members. | <p>An easy to read, user friendly resource guide to understanding WTO Law on Trade in Services in general and Mode 4 in particular</p><p>A special chapter on the next frontier in WTO engagement on labor mobility</p><p>A resource guide on best practices in regulating labor mobility in the WTO context</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Yet, there is very little literature that comprehensively discusses how existing laws can and cannot be used to address indigenous peoples’ interests. This book assesses how intangible aspects of indigenous cultural heritage (and the tangible objects that hold them) can be protected, within the realm of a broad range of existing legal orders, including intellectual property and related rights, consumer protection law, common law and equitable doctrines, and human rights. It does so by focusing on the New Zealand Māori. The book also looks to the future, analysing the long-awaited Wai 262 report, released in New Zealand by the Waitangi Tribunal in response to allegations that the government had failed in its duty to ensure that the Māori retain chieftainship over their tangible and intangible treasures, as required by the Treaty of Waitangi, signed between the Māori and the British Crown in 1840. | <p>Comprehensively deals with the situation in New Zealand</p><p>Offers an academic analysis with practical application of New Zealand law for intangible indigenous cultural heritage</p><p>Offers a practical solution through analysing the Wai 262 Report</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Role of Insurance in Providing Adequate Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage and in Reducing Oil Pollution Incidents.- 7. Incentive Effect of Liability Rules in the Presence of Liability Insurance.- 8. Conclusion. | The book examines how the absence of insurance in the past led to some special maritime liability law principles such as ‘general average’ (i.e., losses or expenses shared by all the parties to a maritime adventure) and the limitation of shipowners’ liability. In the absence of insurance, these principles served the function of insurance mostly for shipowners. As commercial marine insurance is now widely available, these principles have lost their justification and may in fact interfere with the most important goal of liability law i.e., deterrence from negligence. The work thus recommends their abolition. It further argues that when insurance is easily available and affordable to the both parties to a liability claim, the main goal of liability law should be deterrence as opposed to compensation. This is exactly the case with the maritime cargo liability claims where both cargo owners and shipowners are invariably insured. As a result, the sole focus of cargo liability law should be and to a great extent, is deterrence. On the other hand in the vessel-source oil pollution liability setting, pollution victims are not usually insured. Therefore oil pollution liability law has to cater both for compensation and deterrence, the two traditional goals of liability law. The final question the work addresses is whether the deterrent effect of liability law is affected by the availability of liability insurance. Contrary to the popular belief the work attempts to prove that the presence of liability insurance is not necessarily a hindrance but can be a complementary force towards the realization of deterrent goal of liability law. | <p>First examination of maritime liability law using a formal economic analysis approach<br>Explores the connection between insurance and maritime liability law<br>Argues that liability insurance is not a hindrance but a complementary force towards achieving the deterrent goal of liability law</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

In many cases, technological development has been stimulated by, and dedicated to, addressing military requirements. On other occasions, technological developments outside the military sphere affect or inform the conduct of warfare and military expectations. The introduction of new technologies such as information technology, space technologies, nanotechnology and robotic technologies into our civil life, and into warfare, is expected to influence the application and interpretation of the existing rules of the law of armed conflict. In this book, scholars and practitioners working in the fields critically examine the potential legal challenges arising from the use of new technologies and future directions of legal development in light of the specific characteristics and challenges each technology presents with regard to foreseeable humanitarian impacts upon the battlespace. | <p>Clarifies how the existing rules of the law of armed conflict are to be applied and interpreted in light of the specific characteristics and challenges new technologies presents</p><p>Supplies up-to-date information about what is possible with new technologies and what is the future direction of those new technologies in warfare</p><p>Provides further insight into remaining concerns, challenges and new ideas</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It brings together a diverse group of American legal scholars, some of whom have been influenced by the Segal/Spaeth 'attitudinal' model and some of whom have not. The group of contributors includes legal theorists and empiricists, constitutional lawyers and legal generalists, leading authorities and up-and-coming scholars. The book addresses questions such as how the Court establishes durable precedent, how the Court decides to overrule precedent, the effects of precedent on case selection, the scope of constitutional precedent, the influence of concurrences and dissents, and the normative foundations of constitutional precedent. Most of these questions have been addressed by the Court itself only obliquely, if at all.

Its purpose, scope and rationale are reflected in the three-part structure of the manuscript. Part I has a broad introductory historical, theoretical and legal character. Part II submits that an Ethics of Human Rights is best understood as an Ethics of Recognition of human worth, dignity and rights. Moreover, it is argued that human worth consists in the perfectibility of the human species, rooted in its semiotic nature, to be accomplished through the perfecting of human beings, for which the right to education is key. In Part III, the main legal and political outcomes of the Human Rights Revolution are described and answers to the most lasting and common criticisms of human rights are provided. To conclude, the human stature of the Big Five drafters of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is profiled and the priority that should be recognized to human rights education is highlighted. Some appendices supplement the manuscript.

It analyzes the codification, decodification and recodification processes illuminating the dialogue between current codes – and private law legislation in general – with Constitutions and International Conventions.The commentary elucidates the changing requirements of civil law as it shifted from an early protection of patrimony to a support for commercial and contractual law. It also explains the varying trajectories of civil law, which in some jurisdictions was merged with religious legal tenets in its codification of familial relations, while in others it was fused with commercial law or, indeed, codified from scratch as a discrete legal corpus. Elsewhere, the volume provides material on differing approaches to consumer law, where relevant legislation may be scattered across numerous statutes, and also on private international law, a topic of increasing relevance in a world where business corporations have interests in multiple jurisdictions (and often play one off against another).The volume features invited contributions from leading scholars in the field of private law brought together for an in depth analysis of the current regulatory attitude in this field of the law in jurisdictions with diverse legal systems and traditions. In current times we are witnessing the adoption of diverging regulatory solutions. Through the analysis of the past and present of private law regulation, the volume unveils the underlying trends and relevance of the codification method across the world. | <p>The only book to analyse in depth the trends in private law regulation</p><p>A unique comparative perspective on the past, present and future of private law regulation </p><p>Includes analysis by private law scholars from across the globe </p><p>Defines key elements of differing national legal systems</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The issue of obtaining evidence in and from European countries has been among the most debated issues of EU cross-border cooperation in criminal matters over the last two decades, going through periods of intensive discussions and showing an extraordinary adaptability to the evolution of EU legislation for criminal matters. On the other hand, the prosecution and investigations of cross-border cases pose unprecedented challenges in the European scenario, characterized by the increasing flow and activity of citizens over the territory of more than one country and therefore by the need to lay the foundations of a transcultural criminal justice system.The book analyses this complex topic starting with the current perspectives of EU legislation, thus providing a critical analysis of the legislative initiative aimed at introducing a new tool for gathering almost any type of evidence in other Member States, i.e., the European Investigation Order. On a second level, this study deals with the solution models and human rights challenges posed by the increasingly intensive dialogues between domestic and supranational case laws, and formulates essential guidelines for setting up a fair transnational enquiry system in Europe. | <p>Updated analysis of the developments in Europe </p><p>Multilevel diagnosis (research models, analysis of legislation and case law) </p><p>Balanced combination of theoretical reconstruction and proposals for future legislation ​</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The book presents striking differences among a range of countries and legal traditions, but also points to common trends and open issues. It brings together prominent experts, professionals and scholars from both civil and common law jurisdictions. It represents all main legal traditions ranging from Europe (Germanic and Romanic countries, Scandinavia, ex-Socialist countries) and Russia to the Americas (North and South) and China (Mainland and Hong Kong). While addressing the main issue – the goals of civil justice – the book discusses the most topical concerns regarding the functioning and efficiency of national systems of civil justice. These include concerns such as finding the appropriate balance between accurate fact-finding and the right to a fair trial within a reasonable time, the processing of hard cases and the function of civil justice as a specific public service. In the mosaic of contrasts and oppositions special place is devoted to the continuing battle between the individualistic/liberal approach and the collectivist/paternalistic approach – the battle in which, seemingly, paternalistic tendencies regain momentum in a number of contemporary justice systems. | <p>Offers a unique collection of comparative insights into the social role and function of civil courts</p><p>Includes contributions of prominent legal scholars and practitioners from all globally important legal traditions</p><p>Addresses the most topical concerns regarding the functioning and efficiency of national systems of civil justice</p><p>Provides the best introductory overview of global justice systems and their role</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

How the International Art Market lacks a Clear Regulatory Framework. | In the age of economic globalisation, do art and heritage matter? Once the domain of elitist practitioners and scholars, the governance of cultural heritage and the destiny of iconic artefacts have emerged as the new frontier of international law, making headlines and attracting the varied interests of academics and policy-makers, museum curators and collectors, human rights activists and investment lawyers and artists and economists, just to mention a few. The return of cultural artefacts to their legitimate owners, the recovery of underwater cultural heritage and the protection and promotion of artistic expressions are just some of the pressing issues addressed by this book.Contemporary intersections between art, cultural heritage and the market are complicated by a variety of ethical and legal issues, which often describe complex global relations. Should works of art be treated differently from other goods? What happens if a work of art, currently exhibited in a museum, turns out to have originally been looted? What is the relevant legal framework? What should be done with ancient shipwrecks filled with objects from former colonies? Should such objects be kept by the finders? Should they be returned to the country of origin? This book addresses these different questions while highlighting the complex interplay between legal and ethical issues in the context of cultural governance. The approach is mainly legal but interdisciplinary aspects are considered as well. | <p>Addresses current developments concerning the art market, its legal and ethical aspects and key challenges</p><p>Provides a multi-disciplinary analysis </p><p>Focuses on the restitution of cultural property and dispute settlement </p><p>Written by authors from a wide array of backgrounds</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

In 2005, it was adopted the text book for the postgraduates of law majors. In 2009, it was awarded the second prize of the best books on law in China. The book discusses from different aspects the long legal tradition in China, and it not only helps us to have a further understanding of Chinese legal system but also combines theories and practice and illustrate the modern legal transition which probes the history of Chinese legal system.As is known to us all, China is a country with a long legal history, which can be traced back to more than three thousand year ago. So the legal tradition of China has been passed down from generation to generation without any interruptions. This feature is peculiar to Chinese legal history which is beyond all comparison with that of other countries such as ancient Egypt, ancient India, ancient [NAME] and ancient Persia. Through the study of Chinese legal history we can have a deeper understanding of the histories, features, origins and the transition of Chinese legal tradition. The Chinese legal tradition originated from China, and it is the embodiment of the wisdom and creativity of Chinese civilization. The great many books, researching materials, legal constitutions, archives, files and records of different dynasties in China have provided us with rare, complete and systematic materials to research. The book has a complete, systematic and detailed research on Chinese legal tradition and its transition and it gives people a correct recognition of the process of the perfection of laws during its development and its position as well as its value in the social progress in order to grasp its regular patterns. It also has showed us the most valuable part and core of Chinese legal Tradition and it is a summary of Chinese legal tradition and its transition from different perspectives, different angles and different levels. From the book, we can see that the ancient Chinese Legal Culture had once shocked the world and exerted great influence on the civilization of the world legal system, especially the legal systems in Asian countries. The book also has discussed the reestablishment of law in the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Chinese law’s transition to modernity.In a word, the book has not only combined the legal system and the legal culture together, but also integrated the important historical figures and events ingeniously and it is a valuable and readable book with authenticity. | <p>System described the characteristics of ancient Chinese legal tradition</p><p>Thoughtful in-depth discussion of the reasons for the transformation of modern Chinese law and the process </p><p>Reprinted many times in China, received good reputation</p> | Science | Standard (0) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

This volume–while further illustrating processes and instantiations of indigenisation at this level–incorporates investigations of sociolinguistic and pragmatic phenomena in daily social interaction–e.g. politeness, respect, compliment response, naming and address forms, and gender–through innovative analytic frameworks that view indigenisation from emic perspectives. Focusing on postcolonial Cameroon and using natural and questionnaire data, the book assesses the salience of linguistic and sociocultural hybridisation triggered by colonialism and, recently, globalisation in interaction in and across languages and cultures.

It seeks to answer core questions pertaining to onticism, the view that vagueness exists in the world itself. The questions to be addressed include whether vague objects must have vague identity, and whether ontic vagueness has a distinctive logic, one that is not shared by semantic or epistemic vagueness. The essays in this volume explain the motivations behind onticism, such as the plausibility of mereological vagueness and indeterminacy in quantum mechanics and they offer various arguments both for and against ontic vagueness; onticism is also compared with other, competing theories of vagueness such as semanticism, the view that vagueness exists only in our linguistic representation of the world.[NAME] influential paper of 1978, “Can There Be Vague Objects?” gave a simple but cogent argument against the coherence of ontic vagueness. Onticism was subsequently dismissed by many. However, in recent years, researchers have become aware of the logical gaps in Evans’s argument and this has triggered a new wave of interest in onticism. Onticism is now widely regarded as at least a coherent view. Reflecting this growing consensus, the present anthology for the first time puts together essays that are focused on onticism and its various facets and it fills in the lacuna in the literature on vagueness, a much-discussed subject in contemporary philosophy. | <p>An original contribution to the literature and offers explanations to well known issues in onticism, vague identities and other important questions</p><p>Features work by renowned authorities from a variety of areas related to the field</p><p>Syncretic collection of diverse papers offering essential specialist analysis</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The letters of these two Frenchmen show their vicissitudes of research and passionate enthusiasm for the emerging field of modern probability theory. The letters cover various topics of mathematical importance including academic careers and professional travels, issues concerning students and committees, and the difficulties both mathematicians met to be elected to the Paris Academy of Sciences.The technical questions that occupied [NAME] and Fréchet on almost a daily basis are the primary focus of these letters, which are charged with elation, frustration and humour. Their mathematical victories and setbacks unfolded against the dramatic backdrop of the two World Wars and the occupation of France, during which [NAME] was obliged to go into hiding. The clear and persistent desire of these mathematicians to continue their work whatever the circumstance testifies to the enlightened spirit of their discipline which was persistent against all odds.The book contains a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the central topics of the correspondence. The original text of the letters is also annotated by numerous footnotes for helpful guidance. [NAME] and [NAME] will be useful to anybody interested in the history of mathematics in the twentieth century and, in particular, the birth of modern probability theory. | <p>Provides a thorough study of the birth of modern probability theory</p><p>Provides lively and profound portraits of [NAME] and [NAME] Fréchet</p><p>Gives an insight into mathematical life during twentieth-century France</p> | Students | Standard (0) | 0 | EBOP11649 | Mathematics and Statistics

It  reflects on the extent to which studying such environments helps us to better understand ancient or modern sources, and how notions of “teaching” and “learning” are to be understood. Tackling two problems: the first, is that of certain sources of scientific knowledge being studied without taking into account the various “contexts” of transmission that gave this knowledge a long-lasting meaning. The second is that other sources are related to teaching and learning activities, but without being too precise and demonstrative about the existence and nature of this “teaching context”. In other words, this book makes clear what is meant by “context” and highlights the complexity of the practice hidden by the words “teaching” and “learning”. Divided into three parts, the book makes accessible teaching and learning situations, presents comparatist approaches, and emphasizes the notion of teaching as projects embedded in coherent treatises or productions. | <p>Offers a new approach to a hitherto neglected subject</p><p>Has a heuristic value and interest for similar studies</p><p>Offers a variety of case studies, belonging to different cultural areas and periods</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The book aims to show that objections to [NAME]’s political conception of the person fail and that a Rawlsian conception of political identity is defensible. The book shows that the debate between liberals and communitarians is relevant to the current debate regarding perfectionism and neutrality in politics, and clarifies the debate between Rawls and communitarians in a way that will promote fruitful discussion on the issue of political identity. It does this by providing a clearer account of a conception of personal identity according to which persons are socially constituted, including the intuitions and assumptions underlying the communitarians’ conception of persons as “socially constituted.” It examines the communitarian objections to liberal political theory and to the liberal conception of persons, the “unencumbered self.” The book differentiates between two types of objection to the liberal conception of persons: the metaphysical and normative. It explains [NAME]'s political conception of persons, and the metaphysical and normative commitments [NAME] incurs—and does not incur—in virtue of that conception. It shows that both kind of objection to [NAME]'s political conception of the person fail. Finally, modifying [NAME]’s political conception of the person, a Rawlsian conception of political identity is explained and defended. | <p>Clarifies and explains the Liberal/Communitarian debate</p><p>Explains the connection between early criticism of [NAME]'s original position and more recent criticisms of liberal notions of political identity</p><p>Explains and clarifies the broader debate regarding the issues discussed in [NAME] book</p><p>More fully explains the reasons that [NAME] and other communitarians have criticized liberal political theorists, [NAME] in particular</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

In this book, [NAME] develops a general theory of knowledge of the social sciences in his role as a cross-border commuter between Husserl's phenomenology, [NAME]'s pure theory of law and the logical positivism of the Vienna Circle. This multilayered inquiry connects the value-oriented reflections of a general philosophy of science with the specificity of the methods and theories of the social sciences, as opposed to abstract natural science and psychology. The core focus of the study is the attempt to elucidate how and under what conditions scientific knowledge about social facts, empirically justified and theoretically embedded, can be obtained. The empirical basis of knowledge within the social sciences forms a phenomenological concept of experience. According to [NAME], this concept of experience exhibits a complex structure. Within the meaning-interpretation of human action as the core of knowledge in the social sciences, this structure reaches out across the isolated act of verification toward the synthesis of external and internal experiences. The book opens with a detailed and useful introduction by [NAME], which introduces the historical and theoretical background of Kaufmann's study and specifically illuminates his relation to [NAME] and [NAME]. Finally, it contains interviews with and letters to members of his family, colleagues and students. | <p>Unique translation of Kaufman's final 1936 work</p><p>Lays-out a detailed introduction and background to Kaufmann's work</p><p>Contains extracts from personal anecdotes from former students and colleagues</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

In the past two decades there has been a shift towards processes of Participatory Technology Assessment designed to build channels of two-way communication between technical specialists and non-expert citizens, and to incorporate multiple stakeholder perspectives in the governance of contentious technology programmes. This participatory turn has spurred a need for new tools and techniques to encourage group deliberation and capture public values, moral and choices. This book specifically examines the ethical dimensions of controversial technologies, and discusses how these can be evaluated in a philosophically robust manner when the ones doing the deliberating are not ethicists, legal or technical experts. Grounded in philosophical pragmatism and drawing upon empirical work in partnership with citizen-stakeholders, this book presents a model called “Reflective Ethical Mapping” - a new meta-ethical framework and toolbox of techniques to facilitate citizen engagement with technology ethics. | <p>Addresses the theory, methods and practice of participatory technology assessment (pTA) in relation to large-scale technological and environmental policies and programs</p><p>Presents a practical and participatory decision procedure that facilitates the non-specialists' deliberations on the ethical aspects of controversial technologies</p><p>Develops and discusses an ethical decision-support procedure termed “Reflective Ethical Mapping” (REM), and evaluates it in a practical context: radioactive waste management in nuclear communities</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It honors the writings of [NAME], whose work in phenomenological philosophy, analytic philosophy and the history of philosophy has served as model for generations of philosophers working between these three fields of research. The essays collected in this volume provide an unique window on the contemporary state of the art in phenomenological philosophy by leading scholars of international reputation from North America and Europe.  Historical figures such as Aristotle and [NAME] are innovatively brought into dialogue with phenomenological thinking. Phenomenological thinking is brought to bear on a wide variety of problems, from the nature of artworks and photography to questions concerning consciousness and intentionality. Among the topics discussed in these specially commissioned essays:  phenomenology and Aristotle; the nature of the primal ego; [NAME] and Husserl; intentionality and reference, the argument of transcendental idealism; [NAME] ethic; Husserl and [NAME]; photography; the nature of artworks. | <p>Presents a collection of essays on various topics in phenomenological philosophy by leading experts in North America and Europe </p><p>Examines the relation between Husserl’s phenomenology and Aristotle; the relation between [NAME] and Husserl on language; the contribution of Husserl’s thinking to ethics</p><p>Features the importance of a phenomenological approach to art; and the phenomenological contribution to questions of consciousness and intentionality</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Early engagement and new technologies: Towards Comprehensive Technology Engagement?; Doorn, Neelke, Schuurbiers, Daan, [NAME], Ibo, and Gorman, [NAME] | Despite the topic’s urgency and centrality, this is the first edited volume to offer a comprehensive assessment of the varying approaches to early engagement with new technologies, including nanotechnology, synthetic biology, biotechnology and ICT. Covering five main approaches to early engagement—constructive technology assessment (CTA), value-sensitive design (VSD), midstream modulation (MM), the network approach for moral evaluation, and political technology assessment—the book will be a pivotal text in the rapidly developing research field of ELSI, which explores the ethical, legal, and social implications of new technologies.Featuring leading scholars who discuss each early engagement approach in turn, the chapters cover both theory and applications, and include evaluative assessments of specific instances of early adoption of technologies. Further contributions focus on theoretical issues relevant to all approaches, including interdisciplinary cooperation, normativity and intervention, and political and public relevance. The publication has added profile due to the requirement of multi-billion-dollar research programs in the US and Europe to engage in ELSI research alongside that of the technical development itself, even in the early stages. Its comprehensive scrutiny of the core factors in early engagement will ensure a readership of policy makers as well as scientists and engineers. | <p>First book-length discussion of early engagement with new technologies</p><p>Comprehensive overview of main approaches in early engagement</p><p>Attention for underlying theoretical issues like interdisciplinary cooperation (trading zones), normativity, and the relation to tradition of laboratory studies</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

French Receptions of Phenomenology since 1939.- WORKS CITED. | This work investigates the early encounters of French philosophers and religious thinkers with the phenomenological philosophy of [NAME]. Following an introductory chapter addressing context and methodology, Chapter 2 argues that [NAME] insights into lived duration and intuition and [NAME] genetic description of action functioned as essential precursors to the French reception of phenomenology. Chapter 3 details the presentations of Husserl and his followers by three successive pairs of French academic philosophers: Léon Noël and [NAME], [NAME] and [NAME], and [NAME] and [NAME]. Chapter 4 then explores the appropriation of Bergsonian and Blondelian phenomenological insights by Catholic theologians Édouard Le [NAME] and [NAME]. Chapter 5 examines applications and critiques of phenomenology by French religious philosophers, including [NAME], [NAME], and neo-Thomists like [NAME]. A concluding chapter expounds the principal finding that philosophical and theological receptions of phenomenology in France prior to 1939 proceeded independently due to differences in how [NAME] and [NAME] were perceived by French philosophers and religious thinkers and their respective orientations to the Cartesian and Aristotelian/Thomist intellectual traditions. | <p>Only comprehensive account of how Husserlian phenomenology was introduced in France </p><p>Complements other histories of phenomenology, including [NAME]'s "Phenomenological Movement" </p><p>Distinguishes receptions of phenomenology among academic philosophers and religious thinkers​</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It is a subject with all kinds of scientific, technological as well as cultural dimensions. For example, the common home refrigerator has brought about unimaginably deep changes to our everyday lives changing drastically eating habits and shopping mentalities. From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st, issues related to the production and exploitation of artificial cold have never stopped to provide us with an incredibly interesting set of phenomena, novel theoretical explanations, amazing possibilities concerning technological applications and all encompassing cultural repercussions. The discovery of the unexpected and “bizarre” phenomena of superconductivity and superfluidity, the necessity to incorporate macroscopic quantum phenomena to the framework of quantum mechanics, the discovery of [NAME] condensation and high temperature superconductivity, the use of superconducting magnets for high energy particle accelerators, the construction of new computer hardware, the extensive applications of cryomedicine, and the multi billion industry of frozen foods, are some of the more dramatic instances in the history of artificial cold. ​ | <p>Discusses technological and scientific dimensions as well as cultural implications   </p><p>Contains details of the  discovery of the unexpected and “bizarre” phenomena of superconductivity and superfluidity     </p><p>Focuses on issues related to the production and exploitation of artificial cold ​</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Offering a diverse range of perspectives from an international selection of renowned scholars of higher education, the book is full of imaginative insights that add up to a substantive contribution to the discussion.As universities attempt to adapt to a new environment characterized by stiff international competition, networked remote learning, burgeoning student numbers and comparative performance assessment, how we conceptualize the purpose and ethos of our higher learning institutions is more important than ever. This publication features a multitude of distinctive approaches that illuminate potential solutions to the complex issues universities must grapple with in these uncertain times. Rather than espousing a singular philosophical approach, the editors have assembled views from across the spectrum and from differing national contexts, representing a multidisciplinary response to the situation. This collection of papers aims thus to inspire fresh developments in the way we think about the complexities of and options available to, higher education. | <p>Presents a wide vision of the philosophical underpinning of professional education </p><p>Present a range of inquiries into the form, purpose and content of professional education, its delivery and its contribution to individual and societal well-being </p><p>Brings leading thinkers’ voices together in one volume</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

In this regard, it presents the philosophical coordinates of his approach and pays attention to his structural empiricism as a framework for his views on scientific representations and models. These are developed here through two new contributions made by [NAME]. In addition, there are analyses of the relation between models and reality in his approach, where the complexity of this conception is considered in detail. Furthermore, there is an examination of scientific explanation and epistemic values judgments. This volume includes a wealth of bibliographical information on his philosophy and relevant philosophical issues.[NAME] is a key figure in contemporary philosophy of science, as the prestigious Hempel Award shows. His views on scientific representation offer new ideas on how it should be characterized, and his conception of models shows a novelty that goes beyond other empiricists’ approaches of recent times. Both aspects — the characterization of scientific representation and the conception of models in science — are part of a deliberate attempt to forge a “structural empiricism,” an alternative to structural realism based on an elaborated version of empiricism. | <p>Analyzes the work of an important thinker in contemporary philosophy, very influential in recent decades</p><p><p>Contributes with new solutions to the topic of representations and models in science</p><p><p>Includes two new papers by [NAME] | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The book contains chapters that analyse, appraise, or reshape Makinson’s work and chapters that develop themes emerging from his contributions. These are grouped into major areas to which Makinsons has made highly influential contributions and the volume in its entirety is divided into four sections, each devoted to a particular area of logic: belief change, uncertain reasoning, normative systems and the resources of classical logic.Among the contributions included in the volume, one chapter focuses on the “inferential preferential method”, i.e. the combined use of classical logic and mechanisms of preference and choice and provides examples from Makinson’s work in non-monotonic and defeasible reasoning and belief revision. One chapter offers a short autobiography by Makinson which details his discovery of modern logic, his travels across continents and reveals his intellectual encounters and inspirations. The chapter also contains an unusually explicit statement on his views on the (limited but important) role of logic in philosophy. | <p>Offers a collection of analyses, discussions and interpretations on celebrated logician, [NAME], work bridging classical and non-classical logic</p><p>Highlights the areas of logic in which Makinson had significant influence</p><p>Provides a short autobiography by Makinson which details his intellectual encounters and inspirations as well as his candid views on the role of logic in philosophy</p><p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The authors’ contributions trace recent proposals and topics including instrumental and non-instrumental values of artefacts, agency and artefactual agency, values in and around technologies, and the moral significance of technology. The editors’ introduction explains that as ‘agents’ rather than simply passive instruments, technical artefacts may actively influence their users, changing the way they perceive the world, the way they act in the world and the way they interact with each other. This volume features the work of various experts from around the world, representing a variety of positions on the topic. Contributions explore the contested discourse on agency in humans and artefacts, defend the Value Neutrality Thesis by arguing that technological artefacts do not contain, have or exhibit values, or argue that moral agency involves both human and non-human elements.The book also investigates technological fields that are subject to negative moral valuations due to the harmful effects of some of their products. It includes an analysis of some difficulties arising in Artificial Intelligence and an exploration of values in Chemistry and in Engineering.

It develops powerful ideas that will push the relevant fields forward and give a sense of the new directions in which mainstream and formal research on knowledge and context is heading. | <p>Examines a question of prime importance to such diverse disciplines as philosophy, linguistics, computer science and artificial intelligence, and cognitive science </p><p>Brings together essays written by world-leading experts and emerging researchers </p><p>Presents a novel range of approaches that deepens the understanding of the connection between knowledge, language, action, reasoning and context</p><p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Sensibility in [NAME]: Imagined Realities, Perception Machines, and the Problem of Experience in Modernity.- [NAME] | This volume reconstructs the body of sensibility and the discourse which constructed it. The discourse of sensibility was deployed very widely throughout the mid- to late-eighteenth century, particularly in France and Britain. To inquire into the body of sensibility is then necessarily to enter into an interdisciplinary space and so to invite the plurality of methodological approaches which this collection exemplifies. The chapters collected here draw together the histories of literature and aesthetics, metaphysics and epistemology, moral theory, medicine, and cultural history. Together, they contribute to four major themes: First, the collection reconstructs various modes by which the sympathetic subject was construed or scripted, including through the theatre, poetry, literature, and medical and philosophical treaties. It secondly draws out those techniques of affective pedagogy which were implied by the medicalisation of the knowing body, and thirdly highlights the manner in which the body of sensibility was constructed as simultaneously particular and universal. Finally, it illustrates the ‘centrifugal forces’ at play within the discourse, and the anxiety which often accompanied them.At the centre of eighteenth-century thought was a very particular object: the body of sensibility, the Enlightenment’s knowing body. The persona of the knowledge-seeker was constructed by drawing together mind and matter, thought and feeling. And so where the Enlightenment thinker is generally associated with reason, truth-telling, and social and political reform, the Enlightenment is also known for its valorisation of emotion. During the period, intellectual pursuits were envisioned as having a distinctly embodied and emotional aspect. The body of ‘sensibility’ encompassed these apparently disparate strands and was associated with terms including ‘sentimental’, ‘sentiment’, ‘sense’, ‘sensation’, and ‘sympathy’. | <p>Revision of the idea that [NAME] was 'rationalist' </p><p>Of interest to contemporary theorists of affect and the body</p><p>This volume will recreate the discourse on sensibility</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

In these chapters we are introduced to the psychology of science and of scientists and we learn about Cavendish’s life and times. His personality is examined from two perspectives: one is that he had a less severe form of autism, as has been claimed; the other is that he was eccentric and a psychological disorder was absent.[NAME] lived a life of science, possibly more completely than any other figure in the history of science: a wealthy aristocrat, he became a dedicated scientist. This study brings new information and a new perspective to our understanding of the man. The scientific and non-scientific sides of his life are brought closer together, as the author traces topics including his appearance, speech, wealth, religion and death as well as Cavendish’s life of natural philosophy where objectivity and accuracy, writing and recognition all played a part. The author traces aspects of Cavendish’s personality, views and interpretations of him, and explores notions of eccentricity and autism before detailing relevant aspects of the travels made by our subject. The author considers the question “How do we talk about Cavendish?” and provides a useful summary of Cavendish’s travels. This book will appeal to a wide audience, from those interested in 18th century history or history of science, to those interested in incidences of autism in prominent figures from history. This volume contains ample relevant illustrations, several interesting appendices and it includes a useful index and bibliography. | <p>Introduces the psychology of science and of scientists</p><p>Brings new information and a new perspective to our understanding of the man</p><p>Details [NAME] life and times and a useful summary of Cavendish’s travels</p><p>Contains ample relevant illustrations, several interesting appendices and it includes a useful index and bibliography</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Issues of Mathematical Beauty, Revisited. | This book develops a naturalistic aesthetic theory that accounts for aesthetic phenomena in mathematics in the same terms as it accounts for more traditional aesthetic phenomena. Building upon a view advanced by [NAME], the assertion is that beauty in science does not confine itself to anecdotes or personal idiosyncrasies, but rather that it had played a role in shaping the development of science. Mathematicians often evaluate certain pieces of mathematics using words like beautiful, elegant, or even ugly. Such evaluations are prevalent, however, rigorous investigation of them, of mathematical beauty, is much less common. The volume integrates the basic elements of aesthetics, as it has been developed over the last 200 years, with recent findings in neuropsychology as well as a good knowledge of mathematics.The volume begins with a discussion of the reasons to interpret mathematical beauty in a literal or non-literal fashion, which also serves to survey historical and contemporary approaches to mathematical beauty. The author concludes that literal approaches are much more coherent and fruitful, however, much is yet to be done. In this respect two chapters are devoted to the revision and improvement of [NAME]’s theory of the role of beauty in science. These antecedents are used as a foundation to formulate a naturalistic aesthetic theory. The central idea of the theory is that aesthetic phenomena should be seen as constituting a complex dynamical system which the author calls the aesthetic as process theory.The theory comprises explications of three central topics: aesthetic experience (in mathematics), aesthetic value and aesthetic judgment. The theory is applied in the final part of the volume and is used to account for the three most salient and often used aesthetic terms often used in mathematics: beautiful, elegant and ugly. This application of the theory serves to illustrate the theory in action, but also to further discuss and develop some details and to showcase the theory’s explanatory capabilities. | <p>Most comprehensive, systematic and scientifically informed study of aesthetic judgments in mathematics </p><p>Develops a naturalistic aesthetic theory that accounts for aesthetic phenomena in mathematics </p><p>Draws upon a broad spectrum of insights, from experimental psychology to the history of science and linguistics, to advance a rigorous and comprehensive theory of beauty and the aesthetic in mathematics</p><p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

There are four parts which explore: historical and systematic studies; the formalization of context in epistemology; the formalization of reasoning in interactive contexts in psychology; the formalization of pathological conversations.Part one discusses the Erlangen School, which proposed a logical analysis of science as well as an operational reconstruction of psychological concepts. These first chapters provide epistemological and psychological insights into a conceptual reassessment of rational reconstruction from a pragmatic point of view.The second focus is on formal epistemology, where there has recently been a vigorous contribution from experts in epistemic and doxatic logics and an attempt to account for a more realistic, cognitively plausible conception of knowledge.The third part of this book examines the meeting point between logic and the human and social sciences and the fourth part focuses on research at the intersection between linguistics and psychology.Internationally renowned scholars have contributed to this volume, building on the findings and themes relevant to an interdisciplinary scientific project called [NAME] (“Dialogue, Rationality, Formalisms”) which was hosted by the MSH Lorraine (Lorraine Institute for Social Sciences and Humanities) from 2007 to 2011. | <p>Builds on the interdisciplinary scientific project, DiaRaFor (“Dialogue, [NAME], Formalisms”)</p><p>Examines meeting points between different disciplines including logic and the social sciences and offers new insights</p><p>Presents contributions from international experts across various disciplines</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The first chapters of this book define autonomy and examine the relation of autonomy to adaptation and to niche construction. Later chapters demonstrate how changes in autonomy took place during the major evolutionary transitions and investigate the generation of organs and physiological systems. This work examines the changes generated during macroevolutionary transitions, looking at patterns of innovations and the forces behind them. It shows how a recurring central aspect of macroevolutionary innovations is an increase in individual organismal autonomy, in the sense of an emancipation from the environment with changes in the capacity for flexibility, self-regulation and self-control of behavior. This book synthesizes material from various disciplines including zoology, comparative physiology, morphology, molecular biology, neurobiology and ethology. The text has a clear perspective from the context of systems biology, arguing that the generation of biological autonomy must be interpreted within an “integrative systems approach'. | <p>Provides a systems biology perspective on an interdisciplinary topic </p><p>Examines important questions in evolutionary biology, in depth</p><p>Synthesizes material from many disciplines including zoology, comparative physiology and ethology </p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Career guidance is rapidly emerging as a strongly felt need in these contexts. If more relevant models are to be developed, frameworks from other cultures and economies must be recognized as providing constructs that would offer a deeper understanding of career development. This does not mean that existing ideas are to be discarded. Instead, an integrative approach that blends universal principles with particular needs could offer a framework for theorizing, research and practice that has wider relevance. The central objective of this handbook is to draw the wisdom and experiences of different cultures together to consider both universal and specific principles for career guidance and counseling that are socially and economically relevant to contemporary challenges and issues. This book is focused on extending existing concepts to broader contexts as well as introducing new concepts relevant to the discipline of career guidance and counseling. | <p>Extends existing theory, models and methods into wider contexts </p><p>Presents ideas pertaining to lesser explored aspects of career guidance </p><p>Relevant to the wide range of newly emerging career counseling contexts around the world</p> | Professionals | Standard (0) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

Especially promising among therapeutic strategies are ones that recognise patients as individuals with thoughts, feelings--and speech.Rooted in deep understanding of the mutual relationship between behavior and cancer, Behavioural Oncology combines extensive clinical wisdom and empirical data to illuminate the psychological, social, and existential aspects of cancer, and to offer a framework for empathic, patient-centered care. Chapters delve into the psychobiology of long-term illness, examining stress, pain, fatigue, sensory and sleep disturbances, and other quality of life issues as well as considerations of age, gender, culture, and comorbidity. The book's emphasis on linguistic and communicative aspects of cancer--and practical skills from respecting patient narratives to delivering bad news--adds necessary depth to concepts of the therapeutic relationship. In this way, the authors warn about overmedicalizing cases to the point of losing patient identity. Major areas of the coverage include:Biology and behavior in cancer prevention and suppression.The psychology of cancer patients: emotions, cognition, and personalitySocial dimensions, including stigma, coping, and social supportLanguage, communication, and cross-cultural issuesExistential, spiritual, and end-of-life concernsDoctor-patient relationshipsThe psychological benefits of complementary therapiesBringing new scope and substance to familiar mind/body constructs, Behavioural [NAME] is a definitive reference for a spectrum of healthcare professionals, among them health and clinical psychologists, oncologists and family physicians, oncology nurses, and clinical social workers.

Systems and payers are facilitating it. Patients and providers are benefitting from it. Research is supporting it, and policymakers are demanding it.The emerging field of Medical [NAME] (MedFT) is contributing greatly to these developments and Medical Family Therapy: Advanced Applications examines its implementation in depth. Leading experts describe MedFT as it is practiced today, the continuum of services provided, the necessary competencies for practitioners and the biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of health that the specialty works to integrate. Data-rich chapters model core concepts such as the practitioner as scientist, the importance of context in health care settings, collaboration with families and communities and the centrality of the relational perspective in treatment. And the book's wide-spectrum coverage takes in research, training, financial and policy issues, among them:Preparing MedFTs for the multiple worlds of health careExtending platforms on how to build relationships in integrated careOffering a primer in program evaluation for MedFTsEnsuring health equity in MedFT researchIdentifying where policy and practice collide with ethics and integrated careRecognizing the cost-effectiveness of family therapy in health careWith its sophisticated insights into the current state – and the future – of healthcare reform, Medical Family Therapy: Advanced Applications is essential reading for researchers and practitioners in the fields of clinical psychology, counseling, family therapy, healthcare policy, psychiatric nursing, psychiatry, public health and social work.This is a much needed and long-awaited book as the field of medical family therapy reaches its current level of maturity. The authors are respected clinicians and researchers in the area and they share their expertise and wisdom in this book with elegance. An impressively practical book that is likely to become a very useful resource for all those looking for a “go to” book in this area! - Sy Saeed, MD, MS, FACPsych Professor and Chairman Department of Psychiatric Medicine Brody School of Medicine East Carolina University Editor-in-Chief Journal of Psychiatric Administration and Management (JPAM)As we seek to implement a medical system that meets the needs of all families, it is critical that we delineate and understand the skills, tasks and opportunities at every level of the healthcare process. Medical Family Therapists are at the core of this endeavor with a unique blend of clinical, organizational and leadership talents. More and more, these professionals are being invited to the table where they remind us to consider the family, and attend to the relationships within and between all involved in the delivery of efficient and effective care. This book guides the Medical Family Therapist as they step into these roles of influencing the influencers. It is a must read to understand the further complexities of the healthcare puzzle and the roles played in shaping a healthcare system that can both financially and physically heal us. - Tina Schermer Sellers, PhD, LMFT  Department of Marriage & Family Therapy Seattle Pacific University Seattle, Washington High praise to Hodgson, Lamson, Mendenhall, and [NAME] and in creating a seminal work for systemic researchers, educators, supervisors, policy makers and financial experts in health care.

This practical reference clarifies roles and relationships of the support network in interfacing with the loved one and addresses the understandably devastating and sometimes derailing emotions and psychosocial adversities.  The content promotes psychoeducation and guided exercises, delineates “helpful hints” and coping tools, and proffers multimedia resources to overcome hurdles.  Constructs of awareness, acceptance, and realism for all parties are woven throughout, along with ideas to enhance the support network’s commitment, adjustment, positivity, hope, and longevity.  Case excerpts, instructive quotes from caregivers, and nuggets of clinical advice assist in analyzing these and other topics in salient detail: The impact of brain injury on different family members.Treatment themes in early family sessions.Family therapy for moderate to severe brain injury, concussion, and postconcussion syndrome.Family therapy after organic brain injury: stroke, anoxia, tumor, seizure disorders.Family group treatment during active rehabilitation.End-of-life and existential considerations and positive aspects of caregiving.Aftercare group therapy for long-term needs. The hands-on approach demonstrated in Psychotherapy for Families after Brain Injury will enhance the demanding work of a range of professionals, including neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, rehabilitation psychologists, family therapists, marriage and family counselors, psychiatrists, behavioral/mental health counselors, clinical social workers, rehabilitation specialists such as speech-language pathologists, physical, and occupational therapists, and graduate students in the helping professions. | <p>Family therapy for diverse neurological populations and family configurations</p><p>Theoretical/conceptual overview and a wealth of hands-on treatment techniques</p><p>Includes case studies and holistic treatment approaches</p><p>Includes handouts for clinicians and family members</p> | Professionals | Standard (0) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

Assistive Technology for People with Severe/Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities; [NAME], [NAME], [NAME], [NAME], [NAME]. | The familiar image of the disabled tends to emphasize their limitations and reduced quality of life. However, many people with cognitive, motor, and other difficulties also have the capacity to enhance their social interactions, leisure pursuits and daily activities with the aid of assistive technology. Assistive devices from the simple to the sophisticated, have become essential to intervention programs for this population. And not surprisingly the numbers of devices available are growing steadily.Assistive Technologies for People with Diverse Abilities offers expert analysis of pertinent issues coupled with practical discussion of solutions for effective support. Its comprehensive literature review describes current and emerging devices and presents evidence-based guidelines for matching promising technologies to individuals. Program outcomes are assessed, as are their potential impact on the future of the field. In addition, chapters provide detailed descriptions of the personal and social needs of the widest range of individuals with congenital and acquired conditions, including: Acquired brain damage.Communication impairment.Attention and learning difficulties (with special focus on college students).Visual impairment and blindness.Autism spectrum disorders.Behavioral and occupational disorders.Alzheimer's disease.Severe, profound and multiple impairments.The scope and depth of coverage makes Assistive Technologies for People with Diverse Abilities an invaluable resource for researchers, professionals and graduate students in developmental psychology, rehabilitation medicine, educational technology, occupational therapy, speech pathology and clinical psychology. | <p>Examines assistive technology interventions from multidisciplinary perspectives across nine areas of disability</p><p>Explores the development and use of adaptive devices, software and services to enhance engagement, learning and quality of life for people with diverse abilities</p><p>Explains how technology is used across such areas as communication, leisure, education, independent living, food preparation and mobility</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

Subsequently, as significant research in this area advanced during the past decade, more sophisticated theory, more accurate research methodologies, and improved replication of empirical findings have been the result.The Third Edition of the Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology incorporates these research advances throughout its comprehensive, up-to-date examination of this diverse and maturing field. Integrative state-of-the-art models document the complex interplay of risk and protective factors and other variables contributing to normal and pathological development. New and updated chapters describe current refinements in assessment methods and offer the latest research findings from neuroscience. In addition, the Third Edition provides readers with a detailed review across the spectrum of salient topics, from the effects of early deprivation to the impact of puberty.As the field continues to shift from traditional symptom-based concepts of pathology to a contemporary, dynamic paradigm, the Third Edition addresses such key topics as:Early childhood disorders, including failure to thrive and attachment disorders.Aggression, ADHD, and other disruptive conditions.Developmental models of depression, anxiety, self-injury/suicide, and OCD.The autism spectrum and other chronic developmental disorders.Substance abuse, eating, and other disorders of control. Child maltreatment and trauma disorders.The Third Edition of the Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology is a discipline-defining, forward-looking resource for researchers, clinicians, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such fields as developmental psychology, psychiatry, social work, child and school psychology, educational psychology, and pediatrics. | <p>Integrates state-of-the-art theory and empirical research across multidisciplinary perspectives </p><p>Examines molecular genetics and epigenetics, brain imaging, and early experience in development of biological systems</p><p>Elucidates processes underlying resilience</p><p>Integrates theory/research on early temperament, personality, psychopathology</p><p>Addresses effects of early deprivation on cognitive, emotional, biological systems </p><p>Provides comprehensive coverage of disorders corresponding to the forthcoming DSM-V</p> | Science | Standard (0) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

For many scholars, it is the recursive aspect of human speech that makes it truly human. But linguists continue to argue about what recursion actually is, leading to the central dilemma: is full recursion, as defined by mathematicians, really necessary for human language? Language and Recursion defines the elusive construct with the goal of furthering research into language and cognition. An up-to-date literature review surveys extensive findings based on non-verbal communication devices and neuroimaging techniques. Comparing human and non-human primate communication, the book’s contributors examine meaning in chimpanzee calls, and consider the possibility of a specific brain structure for recursion. The implications are then extended to formal grammars associated with artificial intelligence, and to the question of whether recursion is a valid concept at all. Among the topics covered: • The pragmatic origins of recursion. • Recursive cognition as a prelude to language. • Computer simulations of recursive exercises for a non-verbal communication device. • Early rule learning ability and language acquisition. • Computational language related to recursion, incursion, and fractals • Why there may be no recursion in language. Regardless of where one stands in the debate, Language and Recursion has much to offer the science community, particularly cognitive psychologists and researchers in the science of language. By presenting these multiple viewpoints, the book makes a solid case for eventual reconciliation. | <p>Bridges the gap between theoretical cognitive sciences and applied neuro- and psycholinguistics </p><p>All chapters include a synthesis of discussions</p><p>Contains high-quality and contemporary, relevant scientific information provided by renowned experts</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

The chapters specifically address responses to a wide range of contextual phenomena from a relational family therapy perspective. Chapters are grounded in family systems concepts and informed by postmodern perspectives including social justice. The collection provides cutting edge thinking and practices for a variety of experiences that strongly impact individuals and families. Authors address the treatment of couples and families oppressed by socio-contextual phenomena such as war and poverty, and of those marginalized by the insidious impact of dominant discourse on relationships and on the therapeutic context, for example, sexual/gender identity and sexual practices. Established practitioners and scholars with particular expertise in the areas addressed bring exceptional transparency and knowledge to the descriptions of their work. Researchers, clinicians, educators, and students of family and couples therapy will find this volume very useful. | <p>Presents clinical implications of families dealing with a broad range of traumatic situations</p><p>Draws from members of the American Family Therapy Academy</p><p>Written from a relational perspective </p> | Professionals | Standard (0) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

Conclusion.- Chapter 17. Future Directions for a More Multiculturally Competent (and Humble) Positive Psychology; [NAME] and [NAME]. | The volume will be a collection of chapters about current theory, research, and practice related to multiculturalism and positive psychology. This book will serve as a reference to any who are interested in the intersection of positive psychology and multicultural context. While many in the field of positive psychology have begun to move more strongly towards a culturally-embedded approach that recognizes the importance of context in discussing, viewing, and cultivating strengths in individuals from different backgrounds, there is still a dearth of research in this area compared with studies that take a cross-cultural approach (comparing people from different countries) or one that is purported to be “culture-free” or universal in its application. While it is becoming more common to see various articles or chapters published on these topics, there is still no comprehensive text aimed at discussion of the collection of these topics presented in a cohesive and structured way. This book aims to fill this gap in the literature. In this book, a broad definition of culture is utilized that includes such facets as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic or social class status, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and gender. This book is intended to present research, theory, and suggestions for practice that are grounded in diverse cultural contexts and current scholarship. It will assist researchers, students, and practitioners who are studying and working within diverse populations. Currently there exists no comprehensive text that addresses the intersection of positive psychology and multiculturalism. Several edited volumes address positive psychology constructs (e.g., well-being, optimal experience, autonomy) across cultures, but they do not focus on multicultural populations within the United States. Other books focus more specifically on mental health applications and stress and coping among multicultural populations, however these books do not provide a broad perspective on psychology beyond this application piece. The proposed book will review current theory and research about constructs in addition to applications across contexts. Finally, other published books have focused on youth within multicultural society; this volume is more broad in its address of issues of positive psychology across the lifespan and across various aspects of identity including disability, gender, social class, and sexual orientation. | <p>The first comprehensive book addressing the intersection of positive psychology and multiculturalism with a focus on diverse populations within the United States</p><p>Review of current theory and research about positive psychological constructs within a cultural context in addition to applications for various areas of practice</p><p>Offers a broad and inclusive discussion of various aspects of identity and positive psychology</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

The discoveries surrounding the human genome and the advancement in molecular genetic technologies have  led to studies becoming increasingly sophisticated and yielding  yet more conclusive and useful results. This is certainly the case in the area of child and adult psychopathology. Behavior Genetics of Psychopathology summarizes the state of the field, examiningthe role of genes and environment as they affect common neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions. Emphasizing key research areas (comorbidities, twin studies, the integration of methods), the book assesses the current literature, offers up-to-date findings, sorts through lingering controversies, and identifies a clear future agenda for the field. Expertly-written chapters focus on issues of both general salience that shape behavior genetics of psychopathology, to specific disorders of major clinical importance, among them: ADHD: the view from quantitative genetic research.Autism spectrum disorders and their complex heterogeneityGenetic influences on anxiety and depression in childhood and adolescence.Evidence for etiologically-defined subgroups within the construct of antisocial behavior.Sleep and psychopathology: the reasons for their co-occurrence. Behavioral genetic approaches to the etiology of comorbidity.Epigenetics of psychopathology. This combination of timeliness and depth of coverage make Behavior Genetics of Psychopathology a frontline resource for behavior geneticists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and neuroscientists, and is perfectly suited to graduate students looking to join these fields. | <p>Chapters review literature on genetics of specific disorders</p><p>Examines topics that cut across diagnostic boundaries, such as gene-environment interaction and comorbidity </p><p>Reviews the state of genome-wide association studies and the potential for new sequencing studies</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Specifically, it looks at the power and significance of personal emotions and affects in shaping memorial culture. This volume contends that we need to look beyond political and ideological contestations to a deeper level of how memorial cultures are formed and sustained. It argues that we cannot account for the politics of memory in modern-day Argentina without acknowledging and exploring the role played by individual emotions and affects in generating and shaping collective emotions and affects. Drawing from direct testimony from Argentinian women who have experienced political and physical violence, the research in this volume aims at understanding how their memories may be a different source of insight into the deep animosities within and between Argentine memorial cultures.In direct contrast to the nominally objective and universalist sensibility that traditionally has driven transitional justice endeavours, this volume examines how affective memories of trauma are a potentially disruptive power within the reconciliation paradigm—and thus affect should be taken into account when considering transitional justice. Accordingly, [NAME] of Remembrance for Women in Post-Dictatorial Argentina is an excellent resource for those interested in human rights, transitional justice, clinical psychology and social work, and Latin American conflicts. | <p>Examines the role of individual emotions in forming collective memories in Argentina</p><p>Draws upon first-hand oral testimonies from Argentinian women</p><p>Synthesizes the existing body of literature to trace the traumatic historical events in Argentina</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

The goal of Ecopsychology, Phenomenology and the Environment is to foster an enhanced awareness of nature that can lead us to new ways of relating to the environment, ultimately yielding more sustainable patterns of living. This volume is different from other books in the rapidly growing field of ecopsychology in its emphasis on phenomenological approaches, building on the work of phenomenological psychologists such as [NAME]. This focus on phenomenological methodologies for articulating our direct experience of nature serves as a critical complement to the usual methodologies of environmental and conservation psychologists, who have emphasized quantitative research. Moreover, Ecopsychology, Phenomenology and the Environment is distinctive insofar as chapters by phenomenologically-sophisticated ecopsychologists are complemented by chapters written by phenomenological researchers of environmental issues with backgrounds in philosophy and geology, providing a breadth and depth of perspective not found in other works written exclusively by psychologists. | <p>Explores environmental issues through wilderness retreats, naturalist‘s forest walks and organic gardening</p><p>Identifies new foundations for environmental ethics that promote sustainability</p><p>Finds commonalities between Eastern and Western psychological and contemplative traditions</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

The field of human motivation is rapidly growing but most studies have focused on the effects of motivation on individuals' personal happiness and task engagement. Only recently have theorists and empiricists begun to recognize that dispositional and state motivations impact the ways individuals approach interpersonal interactions. In addition, researchers are now recognizing that the quality of interpersonal interactions influences consequent happiness and task engagement, thus helping to explain previous findings to this end. Similarly social psychology and relationships researchers have focused on the impact of cognitions, emotions, and behaviors on people's relationships. In their work, relationships researchers demonstrate that both contextual characteristics and individual differences influence the quality of interactions. Many of these studies seek to understand which characteristics strengthen the bonds between people, encourage empathy and trust and create a sense of well-being after a close interaction. This work seeks to integrate the field of human motivation and interpersonal relationships. Both fields have seen extensive growth in the past decade and each can contribute to the other. However, no single compiled work is available that targets both fields. This is the case, in part because only now is there enough work to make a strong and compelling case for their integration. In the previous years, research has been conducted to show that motivation is relevant and important for interactions among strangers and in close relationships. In addition developmental mechanisms for these relations are identified and mechanisms by which motivation strengthens people's relationships. Finally recent work has demonstrated the many implications for interpersonal relationships, showing that motivation impacts a range of interpersonal processes from prejudice regulation and objectification of others to empathy and care. This book seeks to summarize and organize all these findings and present them in a way that is relevant to both motivation researchers and social and relationship researchers. | <p>The first book to integrate the field of human motivation and interpersonal relationships</p><p>Written by outstanding scholars in the domain of motivation</p><p>Systematical overview of theoretical foundations to psychological processes and empirical outcomes</p><p>Addresses to both the positive and negative outcomes of the core concepts</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

In this therapy, patients learn that the more that they expose themselves to a fearful situation, the better they will be able to cope with more anxiety-provoking situations in the future. Virtual reality treatment is structured in the same way as traditional behavioral therapy. The big difference is that patients are exposed to virtual environments and not real situations. VR treatment makes it possible to recreate the painful stimulus, enabling both the patient and clinician to have complete control over the situation. VR also allows patients to confront fears that are not easy to simulate because of geography or cost – fear of heights or flying for example. This book is a comprehensive review of the use of virtual reality to treat anxiety disorders, including specific phobias, panic disorder and agoraphobia, social phobia, obsessive compulsive disorder and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The book includes a review of the results of past research and controlled studies on each disorder, descriptions of the symptomatology of each disorder, protocols for the treatment of each disorder and the ethical implications of virtual reality treatment. | Contains significant new information about VR and anxiety disorders, information that is available in no other single book<br>Includes both clinical protocols and practical analysis of research implications of VR therapy <br>Is a comprehensive review of the use of virtual reality to treat anxiety disorders | Professionals | Standard (0) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

There are two innovative aspects of the book - one is the focus on narratives of justice and their production, another is in its comparative perspective. While legal scholars have tended to analyze transitional justice and the international war tribunals in terms of their success or failure in establishing the facts of war crimes, this volume goes beyond mere facts and investigates how the courts create a symbolic space within which competing narratives of crimes, perpetrators and victims are produced, circulated and contested. It analyzes how international criminal law and the courts gather, and in turn produce, knowledge about societies in war, their histories and identities, and their relations to the wider world.Moreover, the volume situates narratives of transitional justice in former Yugoslavia both within specific national spaces - such as Serbia, and Bosnia - and beyond the Yugoslav. In this way it also considers experiences from other countries and other times (post-World War II) to offer a sounding board for re-thinking the meanings of transitional justice and institutions within former Yugoslavia. Included in the volume's coverage is a look at the Rwandan tribunals, the trials of [NAME], [NAME], the [NAME] genocide, and other war crimes and criminals in the Yugoslav. Finally, it frames all of those narratives and experiences within the global dynamics of legal, social and geo-political transformations, making it an excellent resource for social science researchers, human rights activists, those interested in the former Yugoslavia and international relations, and legal scholars. | <p>Focuses on international criminal tribunals and how narratives of justice are constructed</p><p>Provides insights into the activities within the actual courtrooms, including witness testimony, as well as the broader social and political debates</p><p>Offers perspectives on the Rwanda tribunal, [NAME] trial, the [NAME] trial, and how they relate to the experiences of the former [NAME] | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

This work presents an innovative theoretical model of adult attachment that elucidates the varied processes underlying its formation and development. In so doing, it highlights the utility of applying a multilevel perspective analysis, and the implications and directions for present and future research in linking brain, mind, and behavior. This book brings together distinguished researchers and scholars investigating attachment bonds at various stages of development, such as initial attraction, emergence of secure base, safe haven, and separation distress behaviors, which are the hallmarks of attachment relationships, and functioning of the attachment bond in long-term mates. These scholars investigate attachment processes using varied research designs (experimental to longitudinal) and focusing on different levels of analyses (cognitive, affective, neural). The chapters address these questions, such as: What are the processes by which a person goes from a nonattachment figure to an attachment figure? What are the mechanisms by which members of a couple regulate each other’s physiological, affective, and behavioral responses? What are the consequences of such co-regulation and synchrony? And, what factors disrupt it? Are there normative phases of adult attachment formation and development? If so, does the process follow a sequential, stage-like series of development, or does it reflect, more or less, synchronous and overlapping processes? Are such attachment bonds in adulthood qualitatively different from other close relationships, or does it fall at the end of a continuum of affiliation? And, how do attachment bonds dissolve as a result of loss or breakup? | <p>Offers a new theoretical framework for the normative developmental processes</p><p>Links neuroscientific findings with psychological processes and behavior​</p><p>Focuses on the development of adult attachment​</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

It is a globally renowned source and reference for those interested in social dimensions of health and illness. The presentation is enriched with explanatory and illustrative styles. The design and illustration of details will shift the minds of the readers from mere classroom discourse to societal context (the space of health issues), to consider the implications of those ideas in a way that could guide health interventions. The elemental strengths are the sociological illustrations from African context, rooted in deep cultural interpretations necessitated because Africa bears a greater brunt of health problems. More so, the classical and current epistemological and theoretical discourse presented in this book are indicative of core themes in medical sociology in particular, but cut across a multidisciplinary realm including health social sciences (e.g., medical anthropology, health psychology, medical demography, medical geography and health economics) and health studies (medicine, public health, epidemiology, bioethics, and medical humanities) in general. Therefore, apart from the book’s relevance as a teaching text of medical sociology for academics, it is also meant for students at various levels and all health professionals who require a deeper understanding of social dimensions of health and illness (with illustrations from the African context), and sociological contributions to health studies in general. | <p>Provides a global source and reference in social dimensions of health and illness</p><p>Global relevance coupled with illustration from African context</p><p>Presentation of current research directions in the field</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Derived from a meeting of the European Working Group on Health, Morbidity and Mortality held at the Vienna Institute of Demography, September 2011, it presents a cross-section of the work and concerns of mortality  researchers across Europe, ranging from London and Madrid in the west to Moscow in the east, with a few additions from further afield. Although most of the papers focus on a particular population, the range of the papers is broad; taken together they present an inter-disciplinary cross-section of this multi-faceted field. Coverage includes estimating life expectancy in small areas, with an application to recent changes in US counties; socioeconomic determinants of mortality in Europe using the latest available data and short-term forecasts; predicting mortality from profiles of biological risk and performance measures of functioning; infant mortality measurement and rate of progress on international commitment using evidence from Argentina; avoidable factors contributing to maternal deaths in Turkey; changes in mortality at older ages: the case of Spain (1975- 2006); variable scales of avoidable mortality within the Russian population;  long-term mortality decline in East Asia, and much more.

It examines the kinds of novelty that have come about through morphogenesis and the elements of stability that remain because of morphostasis. It is argued that this pattern cannot be explained simply by ‘acceleration’. Instead, we must specify the generative mechanism(s) involved that underlie and unify ordinary people’s experiences of different disjunctions in their lives. The book discusses the umbrella concept of ‘social morphogenesis’ and the possibility of transition to a ‘Morphogenic Society’. It examines possible ‘generative mechanisms’ accounting for the effects of ‘social morphogenesis’ in transforming previous and much more stable practices. Finally, it seeks to answer the question of what is required in order to justify the claim that Morphogenic society can supersede modernity. | <p>Advances generative mechanisms that produce social change rapidly in late modernity</p><p>Discusses the possibility of transition to Morphogenic Society</p><p>Investigates of what is requires in order to justify the claim that morphogenic society can supersede [NAME]> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The aim is to reevaluate and compare the processes of dissolution of diglossia in East Asian and in European languages, especially in Japanese, Chinese and in Slavic languages in the framework of the asymmetries in the emergence of modern written languages. Specialists from China, Japan, Great Britain, Germany and the U.S. contributed to the volume by introducing their research focusing on aspects of the dissolution of diglossic situations and the role of translation in the process. The first group of texts focuses on the linguistic concept of diglossia and the different processes of its dissolution, while the second investigates the perception of linguistic varieties in historical and transcultural perspectives. The third and final group analyses the changing cultural role and function of translations and their effect on newly developing literary languages. | <p>Interdisciplinary: combines linguistics, translation studies and literary studies</p><p>Adopts a transcultural perspective</p><p>Its broad scope ranges from Slavic languages to Chinese and Japanese</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

[NAME]: Immigration Regulation as a Battleground: The European Union's Anxiety over Federalism. | The book examines the phenomenon of immigration federalism: its main characteristics, why and how it has developed, its implications for immigration systems (in general) and non-citizens’ rights (in particular). The book introduces the reader to theoretical perspectives on immigration federalism through three sets of literature – federalism, governance and non-citizens’ rights – that provide a necessary framework for understanding immigration federalism’s multiple facets and impacts. It also offers an analysis of immigration federalism through case studies of six jurisdictions: Australia, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, the EU and the US.Despite increased sub-national activity in immigration regulation in several federal states, very little research has been dedicated so far to comparing how federal states deal with immigration federalism. Comparative studies on the human rights implications of immigration federalism have received even less attention. This book seeks to fill the gap in this area and is an important contribution to the field, providing the reader with a better understanding of the complex issues surrounding immigration federalism and its impact on non-citizens. | <p><p><p><p>Fills a gap in the literature relating to federal states by focusing on the interplay between sub-national jurisdictions and national policy</p><p><p>Includes analysis and case studies from around the world</p><p><p>Discusses the impact of supranational EU regulation on immigration regulation in federalist member states</p><p><p>Fills a gap in the literature relating to federal states by focusing on the interplay between sub-national jurisdictions and national policy</p><p><p>Includes analysis and case studies from around the world</p><p><p>Discusses the impact of supranational EU regulation on immigration regulation in federalist member states</p><p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

But while social work professionals have been involved in integrative practice informally and intuitively for years, resources to bring structure to this therapeutic concept have been few and far between.In response, Integrative Social Work Practice offers innovative ways of conceptualizing cases, communicating with clients and making better therapeutic use of client individuality. Rich in research, evidence-based and clinical material from a variety of settings, the book begins with the basic organizing principles behind effective integrative practice. Real-world examples flesh out the theoretical rationales and psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral and developmental methods are shown in practical context. The author also demonstrates how to balance flexibility and boundaries and manage diverse and even conflicting theories, while providing clear guidelines on:Integrating key psychotherapeutic approaches into social work.Using somatic knowledge to enhance therapy.Making assessments and choosing interventions.Applying an integrative approach to therapeutic relationships.Creating manageable goals based on small steps.Building and working with an integrative team.An important step forward in both professional development and the larger therapeutic picture, Integrative Social Work Practice benefits researchers and practitioners as well as supervisors and students in social work and counseling. | <p>Provides a unifying theory of social work practice</p><p>Reviews existing clinical and research literature on integrated approaches</p><p>Offers practical guidelines to inform treatment, supervision and training of clinicians</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Once seen as the ‘taint of the mark of the beast’, the perception of much of what the Germans left behind has slowly changed from being despised and reviled, buried underground or dumped at sea, to being reclaimed, restored, highly valued and treated as ‘heritage’. This book examines the journey of various aspects of this heritage, exploring the role of each post-war generation in picking at the scar of occupation, refusing to let it heal or fade. By discovering and interpreting anew their once-hated legacy, each generation of Islanders have changed the resulting collective memory of a period which is rapidly moving to the edge of living memory. It will include the first in-depth investigation into the heritage of occupation and will offer comparative material for other heritage professionals who work with similar material throughout Europe and in other post-occupation areas. It will explore the complex ethical issues faced by anyone who works with the legacy or heritage of Nazism, seeking to understand how and why the Channel Islands have responded in the way that they have and asking how unique – or typical for formerly-occupied Europe - their response has been. | <p>Provides a detailed view into the impact of the German occupation on the British Channel islands</p><p>Explores wartime narrative through heritage and site of memory</p><p>The only book to take a wide ranging approach to the analysis of German occupation  on other European countries</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It provides answers to critical questions with practical relevance: How should online trans-border judicial proceedings be designed in order to deliver effective and timely justice to European citizens, businesses and public agencies? How can the circulation of judicial agency across Europe be facilitated? Based on extensive research, the book explores and assesses the complex entanglements between law and technology, and between national and European jurisdictions that emerge when developing even relatively simple e-services such as those supporting the European small claims procedure and European payment orders. In addition to providing a strong theoretical framework and an innovative approach to e-justice design, this book includes case studies that are based on a common methodology and theoretical framework. It presents original empirical material on the development of e-government systems in the area of European justice. Finally, it introduces the design strategies of Maximum Feasible Simplicity and Maximum Manageable Complexity and, based on them, it proposes architectural and procedural solutions to enhance the circulation of judicial agency.​ | <p>The only book on e-justice designed focussed on European trans-border judicial proceedings </p><p>Well timed to take advantage of the growing relevance of European Union integration </p><p>Presents a fresh perspective to map out the key issues affecting the development of e-justice </p><p>The first multidisciplinary to analyse the issues of trans-border civil proceeding in Europe</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

This synthesis draws upon the empirical record documented in original research, as well as a critical examination of previous studies. By applying both archaeological and ethnohistorical approaches, the latter including ethnography, this volume distinguishes itself from many other studies that explore South American archaeology. Archaeological and traditional-historical narratives of the pre-European past are considered in their own terms and for the extent to which they can be integrated in order to provide a more rounded and realistic understanding than otherwise of the origins and courses of ecological, economic, social and political changes in south-central Chile from late pre-Hispanic times, through the contact period and up to Chile’s independence from Spain (ca. AD 1450-1810). Both the approach and the results are discussed in the light of similar situations elsewhere.Throughout its treatment, the volume continually comes back to two central questions: (1) how did the varied practices, institutions, and worldviews of the Mapuche’s ancient communities emerge as a historical process that resisted the Spanish empire for more than 250 years? and (2) how were these communities reproduced and transformed in the face of ongoing culture contact and landscape change during the early Colonial period? These questions are considered in light of contemporary theoretical concepts regarding practice, landscape, environment, social organization, materiality and community that will make the book relevant for students and scholars interested in similar processes elsewhere. | <p>Breaks new ground as one of the first treatments of the south-central Andes and colonization</p><p>Uses both archaeological and ethnohistorical approaches for its analysis</p><p>Contains three appendices covering paleoecology, subsistence remains, and ethnohistorical documents</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The book brings together research which compares female’s and male’s subjective experiences of well-being at various life stages from a variety of countries and regions, particularly focusing on women’s subjective well-being. Sex-disaggregation of data on objective conditions of quality of life is now routinely undertaken in many countries of the world. However, despite the burgeoning of objective data on sex differences in life conditions across the world, very little gender analysis is carried out to explain fully such difference and there is still a serious dearth of data on gender differences in subjective experiences of quality of life and well-being. This publication will assist researchers, teachers, service providers and policy makers in filling some of the gaps in currently available literature on the nexus between age and gender in producing differential experiences of subjective wellbeing. | <p>Represents the first attempt at significant gender and generational analyses to understand sex and age differences in well-being experiences and outcomes across the lifespan</p><p><p>Addresses how gender relationships differentially impact people’s lived experience on subjective well-being across the lifespan</p><p><p>Provides information on the dimensions of quality of life and happiness across countries and regions which can guide policy and services to improve wellbeing at all levels from the individual to the global population</p><p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Because hybrid tribunals are developed in response to large-scale atrocities (or in the case of Lebanon a single murder), these courts are properly considered part of the international criminal justice system.  This feature gives hybrid tribunals the accountability and legitimacy often lost in local justice systems; however, by including regional courtroom procedures and personnel, they are integrated into the local justice system in a way that allows (in appearance, at least) a society to deal with its criminals on its own terms.  This book will examine hybrid tribunals in Sierra Leone, Kosovo, Cambodia, East Timor, and Lebanon in their entirety, in terms of their origins (the political and social forces that led to their creation), the legal regimes that they used, their various institutional structures, and the challenges that they faced.  Through this examination, the author will examine both their successes and their shortcomings, and present recommendations for the formation of future hybrid tribunals.  This unique volume combines historical and legal analyses of these hybrid tribunals, placing them within a larger context and providing recommendations for the formation of future hybrid tribunals. | ​​​Examines and compares 5 cases of international hybrid tribunals in Sierra Leone, Kosovo, Cambodia, East Timor, and Lebanon Provides a framework for studying these tribunals and the forces that created them Provides recommendations for evaluating them and recommendations for their future | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It includes everything from bribery of players, to putting undue influences on the owners of the soccer clubs, managers, coaches and others who have the ability to affect the final scores. In addition, match-fixing spills over into the arena of illegal betting (in person and online), which creates a host of additional organized crime opportunities, including human trafficking, prostitution, drugs, extortion and even terrorism. This timely volume brings together international contributions with an aim is to increase awareness of the problems associated with match-fixing and the degree to which key agents in sport, particularly young people, are vulnerable. The contributions are based on INTERPOL’s Global Experts Meeting in Singapore, in November 2012, which brought together key speakers to discuss issues surrounding match-fixing and how to combat corruption in football through channels of education. The purpose of this meeting was to identify ways that academia can play a role in developing and implementing training modules and academic courses, including certification procedures, to prevent match-fixing and develop lines of study at all educational levels.

Anecdotal evidence reported in the news has suggested that the increasing popularity of social media could make adolescents more vulnerable to being addicted. This exploratory study proposes the concept of “social media addiction” and examines (a) whether social media addiction exists among adolescents in urban China and, if so, who the addicts are, what their symptoms are and to what extent they are addicted; (b) whether sociopsychological traits (e.g., need for affiliation, impression management, narcissism and leisure boredom) can predict social media addiction among adolescents; (c) what gratifications are obtained by adolescents from their use of social media and whether these gratifications can predict social media addiction and (d) to what degree social media addiction influences adolescents’ academic performance and social capital.This study employed quantitative questionnaire surveys among adolescents as the main research method, supplemented by qualitative pre-survey focus groups among adolescents and post-survey in-depth interviews among parents and teachers. Questionnaire surveys were conducted based on a multi-stage cluster sampling of seven middle schools in five urban Chinese cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Xiamen. The final sample consisted of 1,549 adolescents, of whom 90% had used social media. Using Young’s classic definition of Internet addiction, 15.6% of participants were classified as social media addicts. The addicted adolescents were often self-absorbed, bored with their leisure time, and good at using manipulation through social media for impression management. Addicts experienced four major social media addiction symptoms: preoccupation, adverse consequences, alleviation of negative emotions and loss of interest in social activities.The seven social media gratifications identified in this study can be categorized into social, information and entertainment gratifications. Among these, entertainment gratifications had the most power to predict social media addiction, while information gratifications were the least likely to lead to addiction. Furthermore, these gratifications were found to be powerful mediators between the adolescents’ sociopsychological traits and social media addiction. Finally, the results also indicated that social media addiction and its symptoms had a significant negative impact on adolescents’ academic performance and social capital. | <p>First book analyzing social media addiction among adolescents in China</p><p>Valuable first-hand empirical data from adolescents in five major cities in China</p><p>Analyzes in detail the social media addiction symptoms of adolescents</p><p>Provides effective guidelines for parents and educators to detect at an early stage and possibly prevent social media addiction in adolescents</p><p>Sets up a comprehensive model of social media addiction among adolescents from the causes to the consequences</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

In many ways, the central issues of these fields have roots extending to the observations and speculations of ancient philosophers, creating a continuous exploration by diverse explorers in diverse historic and cultural circumstances over several centuries of the qualities of human existence.

Yet the concept of decentralized services delivered where people live has proved to be an elusive ideal as well, with the promise of empowerment often giving way to disinterest and apathy.Community-Based Interventions examines the reasons community programs tend to founder and proposes a realistic framework for sustained success. The book's theoretical, philosophical and political foundations begin with the importance of context, as in local knowledge and community self-definition and engagement. Innovative, often startling, approaches to planning, design and implementation begin with the recognition that communities are not 'targets' or 'locations' to be 'fixed,' but social realities whose issues require concrete answers. The variety of examples described in these chapters demonstrate the power of community interventions in providing effective services, reducing inequities and giving individuals greater control over their health, their environment and in the long run, their lives. Included in the coverage:Redefining community: the social dimensions.A new epidemiology to inform community work.The role of research in designing community interventions.The conceptual flow of a community-based project.Building autonomy through leadership from below.Relating social interventions to social justice.Attuned to the current era of health and mental health reform, Community-Based Interventions represents a major step forward in its field and makes an inspiring text for social workers, clinical social workers, public health administrators and community activists. | <p>The practice of community-based projects is tied to this theoretical justification throughout </p><p>New community-based methods provided </p><p>Emphasis is placed on social activism and justice issues</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The main argument of this work is that the reflective and generative nodes of Indian cultural formations are located in the configurations of memory, the body and idiom (verbal and visual), where the body or the body complex becomes the performative effect and medium of articulated memories. This work advances its arguments by engaging with mnemocultures---cultures of memory---that survive and proliferate in speech and gesture. Drawing on Sanskrit and Telugu reflective sources, this work emphasizes the need to engage with cultural memory and the compositional modes of Indian reflective traditions. This important and original work focuses on the ruptured and stigmatised resources of heterogeneous Indian traditions and calls for critical humanities that move beyond the colonially configured received traditions. Cultures of Memory suggests the possibilities of transcultural critical humanities research and teaching initiatives from the Indian context in today’s academy. | <p>First comprehensive work on cultural memory in South Asia</p><p>Affirms the need for critical humanities that would reorient teaching and research in South Asia</p><p>Advances epistemic comparisons and contrasts between Indian and Europe    </p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The Central Asian Response to Models.- Chapter 6. The Turkish Model at Crossroads: A Conclusion.- Bibliography. | The volume discusses what the Turkish Model, or Turkish Development Alternative, was and why it was promoted in the Central Asian republics immediately following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The Turkish Model proposed a ‘secular, democratic, liberal society’ for the post-Soviet Turkic world and in the process encouraged a ‘Turkic’ rhetoric that emphasized the connection between two regions based on common ancestry. The volume begins with an understanding of the reality of the model from a Turkish perspective and then goes on to examine whether the Turkish world as a ‘cultural-civilizational alternative’ makes sense both from a historical as well as contemporary lens. It concludes by looking at the reemergence of the model in the wake of the events in West Asia in early 2011. While Turkey defines its Turkic world as the Balkans, parts of the Caucasus, the Central Asian states, the region of the [NAME] in Russia and northern Afghanistan, this volume examines only that part of the Turkic world where the ‘Turkic Model’ was presented as the model of development in the post-disintegration period, i.e., Central Asia. This is also done with the recognition that in the regions where the Ottomans had once wielded control, the volatile nature of both subnational and ultranational agendas complicates the formulation of any single model. | <p>First volume to look at the ‘myth’ of the Turkish Model from a Eurasian and post-Arab Spring perspective</p><p>Critically looks at various understandings of the Turkish Model</p><p>Looks at the broader question of how far ‘models’ work for regions in transition</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The book draws on contributions from cultural psychiatry, anthropology, ethics, nursing, psychiatric epidemiology, sociology and social work.Concern about immigrant mental health and social integration in resettlement countries has given rise to public debates that challenge scientists and policy makers to assemble facts and solutions to perceived problems. Since the 1980s, refugee mental health research has been productive but arguably overly-focused on mental disorders and problems rather than solutions. Social science perspectives are not well integrated with medical science and treatment, which is at odds with social reality and underlies inadequacy and fragmentation in policy and service delivery. Research and practice that contribute to positive refugee mental health from Canada and the U.S. show that refugee mental health promotion must take into account social and policy contexts of immigration and health care in addition to medical issues. Despite traumatic experiences, most refugees are not mentally ill in a clinical sense and those who do need medical attention often do not receive appropriate care. As recent studies show, social and cultural determinants of health may play a larger role in refugee health and adaptation outcomes than do biological factors or pre-migration experiences. This book’s goal therefore is to broaden the refugee mental health field with social and cultural perspectives on resilience and mental health. | <p>An innovative focus on resilience</p><p>Focuses on solutions in mental health care</p><p>Presents evidence using a range of research methods</p><p>Timely and relevant to international and national immigration and health policy</p><p>Useful in teaching students and practitioners but not only for academic audiences</p><p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

A few select examples of key findings from this collaborative work are as follows. First, despite progress in the field, certain issues remain to be addressed including the challenges of racism and sexism, mistreatment, the digital divide, poverty, and other social and economic crises in urban and rural communities as they relate to our aging population. Second, the need for sustaining a sense of independence among the aged and interdependence among supportive systems is warranted. Third, our elders continue to benefit from culturally competent services community-based health interventions and social services that addresses normative and emerging challenges for them. Fourth, spirituality in both indigenous and contemporary perspectives remains important for our elders’ development and quality of life. | <p>Speaks to the importance of understanding aging across diverse cultures from multiple perspectives and trans-disciplines</p><p>Uses theories, stories and best practices in showing the uniqueness of cultural groups while emphasizing the importance of sharing resources as we age</p><p>Responds to clinical, research, teaching, and policy needs of aging populations</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The focus of the study is on the search for meanings of local concepts. This study reveals and analyzes the concepts concerning home and their sociocultural strategies for maintaining a sense of community and identity. In this study, identifying local concepts becomes the hallmark and the hub of analyses that explore, verify and establish relations between ideas and phenomena. Based on these relations, this study attempts to capture the reality of the local world that upholds and sustains the communities’ values, norms and principles for what they may call a homeland. The book is organized into two parts. Part I describes a cross-regional habitation in Indonesia, while Part II presents four ethnic regions of Indonesia - Sa’dan Toraja, Bali, [NAME] and [NAME]. Their unique traditions, customs, beliefs and attitudes serve to provide diversity in terms of their backgrounds and lifestyles, though they share the challenge of sustaining their sense of home in the face of modernity as characterized by changes and developments toward a technologically industrialized society. The central research questions are - What is development in terms of culture and environmental sustainability? How do these communities respond to modernity? | <p>Provides interdisciplinary discussions and analyses on vernacular settlements, culture and society in Indonesia</p><p>Describes the relationship between people and their built environments in terms of culture, custom and tradition</p><p>Explores, reveals and analyzes the local concepts and practices of habitation that are essential to a sense of home in the sociocultural context</p> | Science | Science (SC) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law
