Abstract:

The University of Groningen has been an international university since its foundation in 1614. The first professors formed a rich international community, and many students came from outside the Netherlands, especially from areas now belonging to Germany. Internationalization, a popular slogan nowadays, is therefore nothing new, but its meaning has changed over time. How did the University of Groningen grow from a provincial institution established for religious reasons into a top-100 university with 36,000 students, of whom 25% come from abroad and almost half of the academic staff is of fore

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic caused worldwide and sustained educational and psychosocial disruption for children and adolescents. Schools, when they were able to remain open, quickly shifted to adopt untested virtual instruction methods.

Young children who needed support for developmental disabilities and learning delays missed critical interventions and/or entered school later.

Abstract At independence in 1947, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru embarked upon two foundational projects to build modern India: a political project aimed at establishing democracy and an economic one aimed at ending poverty. Three-quarters of a century later, his political project is a resounding success, but the opposite is true of the economic one. While much has been written in recent years on the Nehru-era political history and thought and its impact on post-independence India, no such work on the economic side exists.

Overall, the evidence suggests that i) democracy aid generally supports rather than hinders democracy building around the world; ii) aid modalities influence the eff

Abstract:

The safety of our food supply is an environmental health issue that affects every American citizen. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that more than 76 million people in the United States suffer from foodborne illnesses every year. Microbiological contamination—bacteria, viruses, and parasites—is the leading cause of foodborne illness. Morrone faults the media for focusing the anxieties of the American public on such issues as irradiated food, genetically modified foods, and mad cow disease, while ignoring the microbial foodborne pathogens that are running amok in our foo

Abstract:

This volume investigates nuclear energy policies in Western Europe over the entire post-war period, giving special attention to the two most recent decades. It focuses on the interplay between voters’ attitudes, anti-nuclear movements, party competition, and coalition formation. Based on a mixed-methods approach using structured case studies, qualitative comparison, and quantitative analyses, it shows that the nature of party competition under given institutional contexts is a key driver for policy change. Part I introduces the practical and theoretical relevance of the topic. It outlines the

Abstract:

This book showcases a multidisciplinary set of work on the impact of regulatory innovation on the scale and nature of tax evasion, tax avoidance, and money laundering. We consider the international tax environment an ecosystem undergoing a period of rapid change as shocks such as the financial crisis, new business forms, scandals and novel regulatory instruments impact upon it. This ecosystem evolves as jurisdictions, taxpayers, and experts react. Our analysis focuses mainly on Europe and five new regulations: Automatic Exchange of Information, which requires that accounts held by foreigners a

Abstract:

Changes in social cognition are increasingly recognized as core illness features in the personality disorders with a broad impact on social functioning. Despite the significant disability caused by social cognitive dysfunction, treatments for this symptom dimension tailored to the specific deficits of a disorder are still missing. This chapter characterizes the different domains of social cognitive processing and describes different approaches and instruments for measuring impairments. It provides a short overview of the evidence demonstrating changes in social cognition in schizotypal persona

Abstract:

This chapter concludes the book by sketching a vision of what it would take to re-embed organizations in a just society. In doing so, it connects to a number of recent debates in political philosophy. It calls for a rethinking of the corporate form and the privileges and responsibilities that come with it. It points to the distribution of access to knowledge as a field that has an enormous impact on how easy or difficult it is to induce change or to defend the status quo. It discusses worries about the division of labour and meaningful work. To address the imbalance of power between individual

Abstract:

‘Ancient reefs and islands’ illustrates that the present day ecology and organization of species on a reef and their behaviour—basically how a reef works—is the result of a very long heritage. Limestone-deposited structures of the Pre-Cambrian, Cambrian, Ordovician, Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, and Cretaceous periods, the organisms that created them (including ancestors of today’s sponges and corals), and key extinctions are described along with the three different kinds of coral islands seen around the tropical world: coral cays, islands with a solid limestone core, and volcanic or basal

Core Indicators 2019: Health Trends in the Americas starts with a demographic overview of the Americas to demonstrate how the Region has changed over 25 years. These key demographic indicators provide valuable context to better understand the population’s characteristics and their impact on health. Brief narratives accompany the graphics to highlight important information. The second section, Trends in Health, 1995–2019, presents trend data for health indicators of interest within the topics of life expectancy, mortality, communicable and noncommunicable diseases, and risk factors.

Denials for reimbursement and paybacks for audits are usually due to incomplete elements in documentation and incorrect coding.

Abstract:

Abstract Crime and Civilization presents a history of the rise of criminology in the first part of the nineteenth century. The story begins in 1827, in Paris, when the first modern national crime statistic was published. The Compte général de l’administration de la justice criminelle en France was a paradigmatic game changer, sending shock waves across European intellectual circles interested in the analysis of crime. The new concept of national crime statistics made it possible to test theories and hypotheses about crime using a shared data instrument. Much of the initial research and recepti

Abstract:

This chapter reviews recent applications of computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling in the analysis and evaluation of policies that affect interactions among multiple markets. At the core of this research is a particular approach to the data and structural representations of the economy, elaborated through the device of a canonical static multiregional model. This template is adapted and extended to shed light on the structural and methodological foundations of simulating dynamic economies, incorporating “bottom-up” representations of discrete production activities, and modeling contempo
