Abstract:
In the past two decades, public health interventions have moved from education strategies aimed at individuals to broad, multilevel interventions incorporating environmental and policy strategies to promote healthy food behaviors. These intervention programs continue to employ classic behavior change models that consider individuals as deliberate, intentional, and rational actors. Contrary to the ideas posited by rational choice theory, diet-related literature draws little correlation between an individual’s intentions and his/her resultant behavior. This chapter adds to the dual-system model

Abstract:
The domain of work has developed a myriad of social practices that are often shaped by information and communications technology infrastructures. The introduction of additional IT artifacts, of course, affects these practices and the related patterns of communication. While management and IT specialists plan for certain effects of a system’s introduction, unintended use of the system can play a central role. Therefore, the unanticipated appropriation of IT artifacts by their users is an important phenomenon. Given the existence of IT-related organizational change and adjustments related to the

Abstract:
Governments can play great roles, resolving festering problems and opening new pathways for progress. Examples are numerous and raise an important question: How do governments build the capabilities required to do great things? This chapter identifies ten cases of such governments to answer four dimensions of this question: how do governments to ramp up their capability? Who leads these interventions ?, When do they occur, and why? How changes implemented to ensure they yield sustainable results? The chapter suggests two sets of answers to these concerns, combining rival theories that explain

Abstract:
This article discusses the psychology of composition. Composition is a reflexive, iterative process of inscription. The work, once named as such and externalizable to some degree, passes circularly between inner and outer states. It passes through internal and external representations – mostly partial or compressed, some projected in mental rather than physical space, not all necessarily conscious or observable – and phenomenological experience, real or imagined. At each state-change the work is re-mediated by the composer, whose decision-making process is conditioned by the full complexity of

Abstract:
This chapter presents an introduction to epistemic iteration, realism, and pluralism, as further discussed in the following chapter. It discusses the nature of epistemic iteration as a linear cumulative improvement of knowledge which may be contrasted with revolutionary changes of scientific paradigms, as well as the issue of realism-antirealism.

Abstract:
In development circles, there is now widespread consensus that social entrepreneurs represent a far better mechanism to respond to needs than we have ever had before--a decentralized and emergent force that remains our best hope for solutions that can keep pace with our problems and create a more peaceful world. David Bornstein’s previous book on social entrepreneurship, How to Change the World, was hailed by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times as “a bible in the field” and published in more than twenty countries. Now, Bornstein shifts the focus from the profiles of successful social innova

Abstract:
This chapter continues the discussion from the previous chapter. The motion of a charge (m,q) in the field of another charge (m′,q′) and in its own field can now be studied in the lowest orders of the velocities directly using the equation of motion obtained in the preceding chapter. However, the features of this motion are revealed more easily by deriving them from the Darwin Lagrangian. This allows for a rigorous establishment of a balance between the energy radiated by the system and the mechanical energy lost by the system. The chapter concludes this general study of the electromagnetic ra

Abstract:
Cabinets, Ministers, and Gender explores why men have been more likely than women to be appointed to cabinet, why gendered patterns of appointment vary cross-nationally, and why, over time, women’s inclusion in cabinets has grown significantly. The book is innovative in conceiving of cabinet formation as a gendered process governed by rules that empower and constrain presidents and prime ministers as selectors of cabinet ministers, and rules that prescribe, prohibit, and permit a range of criteria (experiential, affiliational, and representational) that qualify individuals for inclusion in cab

Abstract:
Since the mid-twentieth century, the DSM has guided psychiatrists in categorizing disorders. Revisions have taken years, with work groups considering changes to the entire manual. A more timely and efficient approach to updating the DSM would involve continuous improvement of particular diagnostic categories, when and if supported by advances in the field. The aim is to avoid the delays in the incorporation of new knowledge that are inherent in updating at intervals of a decade or more. The American Psychiatric Association has therefore established a structure by which evidence-based proposals

Abstract:
Swedish politics can still be characterized as deliberative, rationalistic, open, and consensual but only if these four concepts are reinterpreted. Sweden has changed from a long-term “sounding-out” style of policy-making to a short-term and iterative trial-and-error method. Whereas commissions of inquiry in the 1960s were expected to carry out thoroughgoing investigations of policy alternatives and their possible consequences, since the 1980s they have been ordered to finish their assignments in less time and deliver shorter reports. Political decisions today are taken on a much less solid fa

Abstract:
The chapter provides brief introductions to intellectual property, patents, and pharmaceuticals to help the reader understand the nature of the enduring conflicts in this area. Prior to the 1990s few developing countries granted patents on pharmaceutical products, but changes in the global politics of intellectual property made doing so obligatory – the starting point for the analyses in this book. The chapter reviews the policy challenges that countries addressed in deciding how to introduce pharmaceutical patents and then in revising their new patent systems, and then presents the explanator

Abstract:
This chapter addresses the problem of radiation by a system of point charges. Owing to the fact that the electromagnetic interaction propagates at finite speed, this problem can only be solved iteratively, by assuming that all speeds are small compared to the speed of light. The chapter then derives the dipole and quadrupole formulas giving the radiation field and the energy radiated by the system in the lowest orders. Finding the field and the radiation of a system of charges beyond the dipole approximation is rather more difficult, but necessary in the absence of dipole radiation. This is al

Abstract:
The diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have evolved substantially since the disorder was introduced in DSM-III. The latest revision for DSM-5 involved several notable changes, including moving PTSD to a new chapter of trauma- and stressor-related disorders, reconceptualizing the stressor criterion, expanding from three to four symptom clusters, adding three new symptoms and revising others, adding a dissociative subtype, and creating separate criteria for children six years and younger. This chapter traces the evolution of the PTSD criteria and describes the DSM-5 cri

The Action Plan for Australian Birds 2010 is the third in a series of action plans that have been produced at the start of each decade. The book analyses the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) status of all the species and subspecies of Australia's birds, including those of the offshore territories. For each bird the size and trend in their population and distribution has been analysed using the latest iteration of IUCN Red List Criteria to determine their risk of extinction.

Abstract:
It has long been acknowledged that co-operatives can buffer economic insecurity, offset some of the vagaries of market capitalism, and enhance social solidarity. An interesting—and in many respects peculiar—facet of the history of co-operativism is how worker (or producer) cooperatives and consumer cooperatives have evolved along completely separate trajectories. Yet production and consumption are inextricably bound up in tight configurations. Moreover, no one is exclusively a producer or consumer and we repeatedly and iteratively change roles, often numerous times during the course of a singl

Abstract:
The literature on management and organization studies suggests the time is right for a focus on ‘care and compassion’. The aim of this book is to answer this call by examining the cultural changes found within a particular ‘compassionate organization’—an English hospice—from its altruistic beginnings to the more professionalized culture of today. The study seeks to understand how its members identify or fail to identify with an organization where issues of life and death take centre stage and explores some of the problems the Hospice faces regarding its representation in society.
