Ismailov, Nariman. Globalism and ecophilosophy of the future. ru: INFRA-M Academic Publishing LLC., 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.12737/1212905.
Full textAbstract:
From the point of view of the new science of globalism, the problems of the ecological, socio-economic state of the world and countries are considered through the prism of the interaction of the human psyche and society and the inhabited world. The criteria of ecological civilization of countries and peoples are justified. Optimizing the consumption of natural bio-and energy resources is becoming a fundamental environmental factor for sustainable development. The "Law of the maximum for humanity" as the law of the biosphere can be the arbitration court, the neutral force that will explain the historical need for mutual understanding, taking into account the interests of ecology and economy for the survival of man as a biovid on Earth; a new reality will begin to form — the phenomenon of co-residence of the world society with the biosphere. The world's population, its energy and bio-consumption, as well as all living matter on the planet, must correspond to the biological capacity of the Earth and not go beyond its boundaries. The task of the society is to implement a worldview breakthrough at the current stage of development, its own cultural mutation, which in the future will create the basis for adaptive technological and socio-cultural development. The task is to classify the entire Earth as a "Green Book" and to solve systemic environmental problems of a global nature. An integral part of sustainable development should be the principle of "vital consumption" at both the personal and social level, instead of the dominant principle of"expanded production and consumption". The indicator of the" culture of consumption "of natural resources, both at the individual level and at the level of society, should be included as an integral part of the integral indicator in the "True Indicator of Progress" and the "Human Development Index".
The book is interdisciplinary in nature; it is a kind of scientific and philosophical poetic essay intended for teachers and students of universities in the field of sociology, ecology, biology and related fields, as well as for everyone who cares about the future of society.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the monograph, which contains a modern view of the problem of adaptation of
children with extremely low body weight, is to provide a wide range of doctors with basic information
about the clinical picture, functional activity of innate and adaptive immunity, prognostic criteria
of postnatal pathology, based on their own research. The specific features of the immunological
reactivity of premature infants of various gestational ages who have developed bronchopulmonary
dysplasia (BPD) and retinopathy of newborns (RN) from the moment of birth and after reaching
postconceptional age (37-40 weeks) are described separately. The mechanisms of their implementation
with the participation of factors of innate and adaptive immunity are considered in detail. Methods
for early prediction of BPD and RN with the determination of an integral indicator and an algorithm
for the management of premature infants with a high risk of postnatal complications at the stage
of early rehabilitation are proposed. The information provided makes it possible to personify the
treatment, preventive and rehabilitation measures in premature babies. The monograph is intended for
obstetricians-gynecologists, neonatologists, pediatricians, allergists-immunologists, doctors of other
specialties, residents, students of the system of continuing medical education.
This work was done with financial support from the Ministry of Education and Science, grant of

Gavrilyuk, Paul L. Modern Orthodox Thinkers. Edited by William J. Abraham and Frederick D. Aquino. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199662241.013.5.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses four general features of modern Orthodox epistemology of theology—ontologism, apophaticism, integral knowledge, and the noetic implications of theosis—and the contributions of individual Orthodox authors, including Berdyaev, Bulgakov, Florensky, Florovsky, Frank, Khomiakov, Lossky, Solovyov, and Zizioulas. Ontologism is a philosophical stance that subordinates epistemology to metaphysics; apophaticism is an attitude towards the mystery of God with implications for theories of religious language, religious experience, and metaphysics; a theory of integral knowledge challenges one-sided epistemologies developed in modernity; and the idea of theosis indicates human participation in the life of God, which has implications for the process of coming to know God. Gavrilyuk highlights the retrieval by Orthodox neopatristic theologians of important pre-modern epistemological insights as well as their contributions to personalism, reliabilism, and social and virtue epistemology that remain unknown in Western scholarly literature.

Vivir la vida. Guía de aplicación para la prevención del suicidio en los países. Pan American Health Organization, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.37774/9789275324240.
Full textAbstract:
Cada año, más de 700.000 personas pierden la vida por suicidio, la cuarta causa principal de mortalidad entre las personas de 15 a 29 años y la tercera entre las niñas de 15 a 19 años. La reducción de la tasa mundial de mortalidad por suicidio en un tercio para el 2030 es un indicador de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas, pero el mundo no está bien encaminado para lograr las metas mundiales y muchas más personas perderán la vida por una causa evitable. La OMS ha elaborado esta guía a fin de apoyar a los países para que ejecuten intervenciones eficaces clave basadas en la evidencia usando como punto de partida el enfoque multisectorial VIVIR LA VIDA, que les permitirá establecer una respuesta nacional integral para prevenir el suicidio.

Abramovitch, Amitai. Neuropsychological Function in OCD. Edited by Christopher Pittenger. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780190228163.003.0015.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter reviews the neuropsychological literature in adult and pediatric OCD, and then reviews the limitations, current controversies, and caveats in this area. Characterization of neuropsychological deficits associated with psychological problems has the potential to integrate neurobiological and psychopathological research. The cognitive neuropsychology of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) has been extensively studied over the past three decades. This impressive body of literature indicates that individuals diagnosed with OCD tend to exhibit moderate underperformance on neuropsychological tests in most, although not all, cognitive domains. However, neuropsychological research in OCD has been notoriously inconsistent. Moreover, the presence of broad though modest deficits, rather than large discrete ones, raises serious challenges for attempts to integrate neuropsychological constructs into neurobiological and psychological models of OCD.

Full textAbstract:
Access to water and energy have been identified as integral elements necessary to realizing sustainable development and the principal goal of poverty eradication as indicated in the SGD goals. These goals are especially relevant to the African continent, where many are still without access to safe, clean water, and energy. As it were, the provision of water and energy services are intricately connected; to provide water, energy is required, and vice versa. Against this background, the chapter examines African regional, sub-regional, and national legal frameworks and policies to ascertain whether they provide adequate platforms through which sustainable access to water and energy can be achieved and, conversely, whether these legal frameworks and policies impede sustainable access to water and energy. The chapter finds that to ensure sustainable access to water and energy, an integrated rather than individualistic approach might provide the requisite solution.

Full textAbstract:
Jack London’s failure as a poet, defined by esthetic or marketable criteria, is not an argument for ignoring his poetry. The mere fact of his including his poems in his essays and stories indicates that poetry was an integral aspect of his creativity and hence must be considered in an evaluation of his work as a whole. This essay provides an overview and classificatory system for better understanding his poetic output, especially in relation to the rest of his work. Given the difficulty of demonstrating that London was a poet who also reluctantly wrote prose, it is perhaps more accurate to call him a prose writer who for various reasons wrote poetry. A way to recuperate the view that he had a poetic instinct is to consider him the third kind of poet, in the larger etymological sense of the Greek poietes, “one who makes” or “creates.”

Galvin, Rachel. Wallace Stevens in a “Sudden Time”. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190623920.003.0005.
Full textAbstract:
Although Wallace Stevens’s work is often read as hermetic and aestheticizing in a time of radical politics, examining its formal properties shows that responding to the news of World War II was integral to Stevens’s poetics. His poetry conveys an abiding belief in the epistemological value of soldiers’ witnessing war in the flesh. How, then, can a civilian with no immediate experience of war press back against violence through a poem, as Stevens wrote? Contradictions, obstacles, and silences turn back upon themselves in Stevens’s wartime poems through rhetoric that indicates figures of relation and reflects on its own process of bridging distance. This chapter contends that, for Stevens, a civilian war poem must be self-reflexive to be ethical. It must dramatize its process; it must be responsive to current events and contemporary speech; and it must involve its readers in recognizing that the imagination’s relation to reality is mediated by war.

Full textAbstract:
Multiple psychosocial treatments for substance-use disorders have been studied for efficacy. A recent meta-analysis indicates that psychosocial interventions are effective across multiple types of substances used. In the case of opiates, psychosocial interventions combined with medication appear to be the most effective. Many studies further agree that psychosocial interventions are an integral and necessary part of treating substance-use disorders. Although theoretical orientations may differ across psychosocial treatments, they have several principles and practices in common. All involve talk therapy or talk in communities as a way to clarify triggers, build commitment, and improve accountability. Many also target addiction behaviors and work to develop alternative contingencies to reduce or eliminate use. Finally, targeting repeated performance (or building “chains of committed behavior”) decreases the likelihood of relapse. This chapter discusses the most frequently studied and employed psychosocial treatments for substance use including CBT, motivational interviewing, contingency management, mindfulness, and community-based programs.

Silliman, Brian R., Brent B. Hughes, Y. Stacy Zhang, and Qiang He. Business as usual leads to underperformance in coastal restoration. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198808978.003.0027.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter shows that coastal wetland projects are underperforming because of confirmation bias. Despite two decades of work showing that top-down control can be essential to marsh restoration, the potential role of top predators is typically ignored by those responsible for restoring or maintaining marshes. Similarly ignored are experiments that indicate positive interaction between marsh plants and can enhance the pace and success of restoration. By planting marsh plants at higher densities, marsh restoration success can double, and seagrass restoration can succeed in the face of increasing drought and eutrophication effects. Continued failure to integrate top-down control and facilitative species interactions into coastal restoration designs will result in widespread underperformance of wetland conservation projects and unrealized generation of important ecosystem services.

Martz, Erin, ed. Promoting Self-Management of Chronic Health Conditions. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med-psych/9780190606145.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book explores the theories and practices that help to facilitate self-management of chronic health conditions (also known as chronic impairments or chronic diseases). It consists of four parts, in addition to an introductory chapter and a chapter on defining self-management, for a total of 22 chapters. This book includes discussions about self-management models, psychological interventions, and collaborative care on both individual and systemic levels for the promotion of self-management. Self-management requires that individuals understand the range of symptoms related to their specific chronic impairment, what those symptoms may indicate, and what actions to take to address those symptoms. Healthcare providers are an integral part of providing self-management support (SMS) to these individuals. Self-management includes the micro-decisions that individuals with chronic health conditions make about their conditions and the macro-decisions (e.g., creating treatment plans) that healthcare providers make in collaboration with individuals with chronic health conditions. This book focuses on exploring a range of self-management practices that can empower individuals with chronic health conditions to be less dependent on healthcare systems and, ultimately, to be more in control of their lives.

Full textAbstract:
Many music therapists join an organization as the first employee in the role, and consequently are the first music therapist that many of their new colleagues will have met. This chapter provides information about the challenges of introducing music therapy to established workplaces, securing funding and resources, gaining acceptance from interprofessional team members, and determining a role for music therapy. The ways in which music therapy can become an integral part of a healthcare or education organization are explored. Published accounts indicate that the development of music therapy posts can be facilitated or restricted by a range of complex forces, such as historical factors, power dynamics, organizational cultures, and a music therapist’s relationships with other workers. From the sparse information available about music therapy start up, it is not possible to establish clear causal links between influential factors. It is likely that successful start-up depends on a complex range of context-based factors, and the key to gaining entry in one practice setting may not necessarily open the door in another. Furthermore, the development of new posts may be influenced by power dynamics within the organization, and a music therapist’s relationships with other workers. Literature that describes how music therapists have navigated this complexity are reviewed and discussed.

Out-of-Pocket Expenditure: The Need for a Gender Analysis. Pan American Health Organization, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.37774/9789275123546.
Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of this publication is to advocate for the need to understand the gendered nature of vulnerabilities to poor health. Gender equality in health is an integral dimension of sustainable development, and it is critical to apply a “gender lens” to all aspects of the health system, including financing mechanisms in health. The impact of health-related out-of-pocket expenditure (OPE) on household poverty has been a significant factor driving the move toward universal health coverage across much of Latin America and beyond. However, not only do health care users still face a broad range of health-related OPEs that can contribute to the impoverishment of households, but the gender dimensions of OPEs have received very little attention. Drawing primarily on data from Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Peru, this report offers an in-depth analysis of the gender dimensions of health-related OPEs in Latin America. It highlights the limitations of survey data in determining levels of household spending on health as well as the potential failure of indicators to capture the impacts of coping strategies that households adopt to pay for OPEs. This publication calls for the application of an intersectional analysis to ensure a more nuanced understanding of the ways in which other social identity markers, such as race and ethnicity, alongside gender shape the ability of individuals and households to respond to the different OPEs they may encounter. Until policymakers consider the issue through a gender lens, OPE will continue to limit the potential of universal health care coverage to effectively address health inequalities.

En el campo de las ciencias médicas, reconocer la importancia de la tecnología como fuente de trabajo, lleva a los diferentes especialistas, en particular al cirujano plástico mirar su hacer diario, desde una perspectiva transformadora e innovadora; donde el cuerpo humano, afianza sus conocimientos de forma integral, para generar en las personas cambios importantes que permitan en sus pacientes incrementar la autoestima, involucrarse desde su yo como un eje que les da posibilidades de tener nuevas oportunidades a participar en cada actividad diaria, laboral, familiar y personal propuesta. Del texto anterior, se desprende la importancia que presenta la cirugía plástica en este siglo XXI, al considerar al cuerpo humano como un receptor de posibles transformaciones, que llevan a dicha área científica al reconocimiento de los estudios genéticos, trasplantes de tejidos, abordaje de quemaduras, lesiones cutáneas, manejo de las diferentes patología que ameritan una modificación armónica para darle al paciente un reencuentro con su nuevo estilo de vida. Todo ello, permite hoy concebir el trabajo del cirujano plástico desde una óptica reconstructiva en estructuras anormales del cuerpo originadas por defectos congénitos, anomalías del desarrollo, traumatismos, infecciones y enfermedades entre otros. Quiero decir que estas ideas, han sido una inspiración personal, las cuales desde hace mucho tiempo, se convierten en pensamientos inconscientes que me llevan a recopilar toda la información para finalmente presentar este libro como resultado de mi experiencias y deseos de indicar nuevas interpretaciones centradas en la recopilación de toda la indagación para plasmar cada una de las argumentaciones que dan vida a dicha producción científica, Por ello, su contenido no tiene una dedicación en particular, simplemente miro el horizonte y recojo la necesidad de indicar a través de mi trabajo de lector, escritor e intérprete aquellos planteamientos anteriores para convertirlos en evidencias nuevas que surgen continuamente, de ese modo, ofrecerlas a cualquier cirujano; pero al mismo tiempo a los individuos interesados en el contenido temático que expongo.

“Literary Heritage” for 80 years: A Guide to Volumes 1–103, yrs. 1931–2011. — Book two: Index of Illustrations. А.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.22455/lh.0130-3627-2021-104-2.
Full textAbstract:
The Index of Illustrations is an integral part of the definitive guide “Literary Heritage For 80 Years. A Guide to Volumes 1–103 yrs. 1931–2011”. There are nearly 12,000 illustrations in 103 volumes of “Literary Heritage”. The search for content spanned small and large museums, archives, and libraries in Russia, with many illustrations published for the first time ever. Other materials were sourced from public and private collections within the country and from abroad. The resulting illustrative content in “Literary Heritage” forms a massive, powerful visual projection of Russian authors, aspects of their family and everyday life, the spectrum of cultural and political professions, and portraits of actors in life and as performers on the stages of domestic and foreign theaters. The authors emphasized reproducing autographs including unpublished manuscripts, letters, and dedications on photographs and in books. Of great importance is the replication of printed materials — illustrations from the works of Russian authors as representative examples of typography. Finally, we should highlight many illustrations that give the viewer an idea about the environment of the authors, including memorials and monuments. The Index of Illustrations serves as a key to this iconic collection of materials, cataloging cutlines in order of their appearance in the volumes and respective location within each book. Cutlines are expanded on the illustrations’ theme — the subjects of the portraits, the groups gathered for specific purposes, the authors of the manuscripts, etc. They indicate the artist or photographer of the original illustration and its current location (museum, archive, etc.). In addition, a cross-reference of over 7,000 names accompanies the Index.

Full textAbstract:
En estas nuevas directrices unificadas sobre prevención, diagnóstico, tratamiento y atención de la infección por el VIH para grupos de población clave, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) reúne toda la orientación existente que es pertinente para cinco grupos clave de la población —los hombres que tienen relaciones sexuales con hombres, las personas que consumen drogas inyectables, las personas recluidas en prisión y otros entornos cerrados, los trabajadores sexuales y las personas transgénero— y actualiza algunas directrices y recomendaciones. El propósito de este documento es, por tanto, proporcionar un conjunto integral de recomendaciones sobre el VIH basadas en la evidencia que son específicas para estos grupos; aumentar el conocimiento sobre las necesidades de los grupos de población clave y las cuestiones que les son importantes; mejorar el acceso, la cobertura y la utilización de servicios eficaces y aceptables; y favorecer un mayor compromiso nacional y mundial para que haya financiamiento y servicios suficientes… En las presentes directrices se procura abordar estas brechas y limitaciones. Los países y otros usuarios han indicado la importancia de consolidar las directrices de la OMS sobre los grupos de población clave para ayudar a los directores de programas nacionales y los prestadores de servicios, entre los que se cuentan los programas basados en la comunidad y guiados por ella, a planificar y poner en marcha servicios de salud específicos para estos grupos de población. Por lo tanto, estas directrices unificadas abordan las cuestiones y los elementos necesarios para prestar servicios eficaces de atención de la infección por el VIH que son comunes a todos los grupos de población clave, así como aquellos que son específicos para uno o varios grupos.

Full textAbstract:
GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor) es un observatorio internacional con carácter anual del fenómeno emprendedor. Su actividad en España se inicia en el año 1999 de la mano de London Business School y Babson College, y se viene plasmando en Informes de ámbito global, nacional, regional y local gracias al Consorcio de países que lo integran. El año 2011, el observatorio global sobre actividad emprendedora GEM, presenta su sexta edición en Murcia. Su principal misión es la de proporcionar datos acerca de la medición de la tasa de actividad emprendedora de las naciones, regiones y ciudades participantes, así como una amplia descripción de sus características, su relación con el desarrollo económico y un diagnóstico acerca del estado de las principales condiciones institucionales o de entorno para emprender. Así mismo, el GEM pretende que las instituciones y agentes relacionados con el emprendimiento en nuestra región dispongan de información de calidad e indicadores que permitan avanzar en materia de apoyo a la creación empresarial, contribuyendo al diseño de políticas públicas, programas gubernamentales, concepción de nuevos productos financieros, remodelación de planes y sistemas educacionales entre otros aspectos, mostrando los puntos fuertes y débiles del entorno inmediato que enfrentan todas aquellas personas que tienen una idea o una iniciativa empresarial para poner en marcha. Los resultados del presente informe muestran como la tasa de actividad emprendedora registrada por GEM en la población murciana de 18 a 64 años de edad el año 2011, es del 6,4%. Este resultado pone de manifiesto que pese al recrudecimiento de la crisis en el año 2011 el indicador TEA asciende un 56,4% respecto del resultado del ejercicio 2010. Este ascenso se debe a un aumento de las dos componentes del indicador: un 38% de aumento de actividad naciente en comparación con el registrado el año 2010 y un 103% de incremento de actividad nueva o en consolidación en comparación con el registrado el año 2010. Así mismo, el resultado de la actividad emprendedora obtenido para el 2011 pone de manifiesto que, al menos en el primer semestre del año, la dinámica de consolidación de iniciativas ha tenido un impulso muy significativo y que los negocios que están naciendo aumentan considerablemente. Sin embargo, la volatilidad del actual escenario económico, sometido a constantes fluctuaciones y las estimaciones pesimistas acerca de la evolución de los principales indicadores del mismo, nos sitúan en un escenario de inseguridad acerca de la recuperación de la actividad emprendedora en Murcia. Sin embargo, como dato muy positivo se observa como el crecimiento del índice ha supuesto el nacimiento de más de 36.000 iniciativas en este ejercicio, incluyendo aquellas que obedecen a casos de autoempleo. El estudio se completa con unas series temporales y comparaciones entre distintos tipos de economías y trasfondos culturales son, que aportan un gran valor para la comprensión y aprendizaje de los mecanismos que articulan el emprendimiento. Por ello, la continuidad que significa este sexto informe a nivel regional, nos permite observar la evolución de los principales parámetros relacionados con la creación empresarial.

Kumar M., Dileep. 50 short case studies in business management. UUM Press, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.32890/9789670474243.
Full textAbstract:
The Higher Education Institutions that run business management programs in Malaysia is under severe criticism from industry that the passing out management graduates do not have adequate practical exposure to the industry and lack of practical skills to deal industrial issues proactively as the catalyst of change.This indicates that the traditional management education curriculum, as presently constituted, may not be adequately preparing individuals for the challenges they experience as professional managers.To deal with this issue, many management institutes are adopting case study as a pedagogy, a hypothetical or actual business situation to formulate a recommended policy or decision based on the facts and figures provided, to induce practical exposure to the students by simulating case situations, which improve students analytical skills and decision-making skills.A case study in business management course is a rigorous analysis of an incident, situation, person, crisis or any such phenomenon or concept, in relation to industry, business or people in the organisations.It is well related to the management, process or methodology adopted by the organisation stressing analysis of chain of events for better change management in relation to business operation context. The case studies included in this book provides better perspective of various issues and situations in the business field.The cases are written from the field of Organisational Behaviour, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Business Ethics, International Business, Strategic Management, Business Laws and General Management. These case studies are to be thoroughly analyzed by the faculty members before applying that into the classroom. It is expected that the faculty members should refer to the similar case scenarios at local and international levels to stimulate students to have better discussion on the multifaceted issues or situation. Instead of a direct entry into theoretical concepts, the author suggests that the faculty members distribute these cases well in advance and invite students to come for creative discussions and practical solutions.By preparing solutions to case studies, the students will be exposed to a variety of business operations, business process, management roles, and business situations.Thus the case studies can adequately integrate theoretical concepts effortlessly in realistic situations with better referential skills.The 50 cases included in this book can extremely be valuable in preparing students a career in industry by giving better chance to develop analytical and decision-making skills in the classroom that meet up the challenges of industry.
