This roadmap identifies current trends in biomimetic and biohybrid systems together with their implications for future research and innovation. Important questions include the scale at which these systems are defined, the types of biological systems addressed, the kind of principles sought, the differences between biologically based and biologically inspired approaches, the role in the understanding of living systems, relevant application domains, common benchmarks, the relation to other fields, and developments on the horizon. We interviewed and collated answers from experts who have been involved a series of events organized by the Convergent Science Network. These answers were then collated into themes of research. Overall, we see a field rapidly expanding in influence and impact. As such, this report will provide information to researchers and scientific policy makers on contemporary biomimetics and its future, together with pointers to further reading on relevant topics within this handbook.

The introduction lays out the core argument of the book: that the security dilemma—the unintentional way in which states can threaten other states—applies to cyber operations. It demonstrates that cyber operations are a fundamental part of modern statecraft, and that the tools that scholars and practitioners have long used are useful in this new domain when coupled with new sources like intrusion reports. This chapter also outlines a roadmap of the rest of the book and explains the sourcing and methods, including its use of intrusion reports and documents leaked by Edward Snowden.

One of the most difficult determinations a psychiatrist makes is whether the chronically suicidal patient is at risk for imminent suicide. The Introduction presents the challenges of the imminent risk assessment and explains the purpose of The Suicidal Narrative—the first clinical guide to such an assessment. It introduces the distinction between long-term and short-term suicide risk, highlights the lack of structured instruments for imminent risk assessment, and discusses the advantages of multimodal and multi-informant assessment methods. It then describes intended uses of the guide, lists its inherent limitations, and identifies possible areas of unintended misuse. The Introduction concludes by naming the main intended use of The Suicidal Narrative: as a roadmap for a comprehensive assessment of imminent suicide risk in diverse clinical settings.

Contrary to the view of a perpetual battle between two imaginaries of world politics, it is argued in this book that world politics is now embedded in a normative and institutional structure that contains hierarchies and power inequalities and thus endogenously produces contestation, resistance, and distributional struggles. The Introduction lays out the argument, discusses its theoretical building blocks, and provides a roadmap of the arguments in the book. First, the Introduction grasps global governance as a political system that builds on normative principles and reflexive authorities. Second, it points to the central legitimation problems of the global governance system and how these legitimation problems lead to state and societal contestation by identifying endogenous dynamics. It also discusses the theoretical building blocks of a theory of global governance and includes an outline of the book.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 3 offers a roadmap for presenting ethnographic methodologies that emphasizes the importance of contextualizing both the researcher and the experiences of research. Building on Chapter 2’s discussion of research design, the author argues that writing up ethnographic methodologies is less about outlining specific research steps and procedures and more about providing a good-faith accounting of the context and conditions surrounding the work. The author details the historical rise of self-consciousness in ethnography, explaining that its emergence both raised the profile of the ethnographer as an actor in research situations and, in turn, set the stage for ethnography’s reflexive, critical, and collaborative turns. The author next presents a series of goals to which contemporary ethnographers should aspire when representing their research experiences. The chapter closes with an elaboration on the different ways methodological discussions have been placed within ethnographic texts.

This introduction provides an overview of the challenges social enterprises face in raising capital and briefly describes the authors’ array of potential solutions, grounded in finance, corporate governance and contract law. It argues that to distinguish themselves from conventional for-profit ventures, social enterprises must broadcast their commitment to pursuing a social mission as well as profits. The chapter then explains that, although the law has evolved to accept the existence of social enterprises, it does not offer them a means to prove that they are what they claim to be. The introduction briefly articulates how social enterprise law could make the leap from permissive to protective—the topic the rest of the book will explore comprehensively. It concludes with a roadmap of the remaining chapters, which trace the history of social enterprise law and chart its possible future.

This chapter describes the process and outcome of the revision of POA. The revision of POA had two objectives: first, spelling out the roadmap and a timeline for implementation of the revised policy postulates of NPE, 1986, and secondly taking stock of the implementation of the POA, 1986, and revising it in the light of the feedback from implementation. It critiques the contribution POA made to development of education. The most important contribution is the new district-based strategy it commended for universalization of elementary education; this strategy operationalized by DPEP and its progeny SSA spectacularly hastened the nation’s march towards universal elementary education. The Chapter describes the efforts of MHRD to implement the recommendations of the Ramamurti Committee regarding financing of higher education. It critiques the revision of fees by IITs and IIMs, the recommendations of the Punnayya Committee on the financing of Central universities and of the Swaminadhan Committee on technical education, and the implementation of those recommendations.

This chapter provides an introduction to the question of why Mexico’s PRI—one of the longest-serving authoritarian parties in the world—was able to survive after the transition to democracy in 2000. Many analysts believed that it would fragment, as its politicians would leave the party or voters would reject the party’s label and the candidates running under it. It was not clear whether, without access to resources and with a weaker leadership, the internal groups would be able to negotiate their differences. The book’s argument is that beyond the resource advantages posited by other authors writing on the same topic, institutions, such as federalism, a strong party system, and fiscal decentralization, all played a major role in allowing the PRI’s factions to cooperate after 2000 and prevented a mass defection of voters. Furthermore, these same institutions strengthened the party’s governors while giving the national party headquarters a strong role to play in the years out of power (2000–2012). This chapter also provides a roadmap for the rest of the book.

Full textAbstract:
This book is one of seven volumes that provides a comparative analysis of European public law. As the gradual transformation of Europe continues to leave its mark on domestic public law, the book provide an overview of the different sections of public law, including its istorical and constitutional foundations, its intellectual history, and open statehood, public law and public authority, and administrative and judicial review. Each volume includes scene-setting chapters laying open the heart of the issue, detailing the challenges for the field, and providing a roadmap for the individual country reports. Chapters address the individual legal orders of their country, permitting comparative analysis across jurisdictions. Finally, cross-cutting chapters examine the European approaches taken when dealing with specific legal challenges. This volume looks initially at the idea of a European public law as it exists today, and as it has been conceived in the past. Two chapters compare the administrative states of Europe and the USA, and a further nine chapters examine central questions of administrative law in their separate jurisdictions. Finally the complex relationship between administrative law and constitutional law is laid bare, before questions of statehood, typology, and transformation are addressed. A final chapter looks at the growing concept of ‘Europeanization’ in relation to public law.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter briefly narrates the great hopes aroused by Rajiv Gandhi’s accession to power and his dashing initiatives such as the reorganization of Central Government ministries and critiques the formation of the Ministry of Human Resource Development. It outlines other policy initiatives such as the establishment of Navodaya Vidyalayas and the Indira Gandhi National Open University, and describes the process followed for the formulation of the National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986, and its Programme of Action (POA). It narrates and critiques the key policy postulates of NPE, 1986, such as the a large and systemic programme of non-formal education being a pre-requisite for universalizing elementary education, and vesting the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) with statuary powers to regulate technical education. It highlights the fact that NPE, 1986, skirted burning issues of higher education as it not anchored in policy analysis. In the praxis of education policy, there is often no realistic assessment of the problem which needs to be addressed, no realistic identification of the various alternatives, no rigorous evaluation of alternatives, and no roadmap offered for realization of the policy objectives

Albert, Richard. Constitutional Amendments. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190640484.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Constitutional Amendments: Making, Breaking, and Changing Constitutions is both a roadmap for navigating the intellectual universe of constitutional amendment and a blueprint for building and improving the rules of constitutional change. Drawing from dozens of constitutions in every region of the world, this book blends theory with practice to answer two all-important questions: What is an amendment and how should constitutional designers structure the procedures of constitutional change? The first matters now more than ever. Reformers are exploiting the rules of constitutional amendment, testing the limits of legal constraint, undermining the norms of democratic government, and flouting the constitution as written to create entirely new constitutions that masquerade as ordinary amendments. The second question is central to the performance and endurance of constitutions. Constitutional designers today have virtually no resources to guide them in constructing the rules of amendment, and scholars do not have a clear portrait of the significance of amendment rules in the project of constitutionalism. Constitutional Amendments: Making, Breaking, and Changing Constitutions shows that no part of a constitution is more important than the procedures we use change it. Amendment rules open a window into the soul of a constitution, exposing its deepest vulnerabilities and revealing its greatest strengths. The codification of amendment rules often at the end of the text proves that last is not always least.

Full textAbstract:
Fifteen to twenty years is how long it takes for the billions of dollars of health-related research to translate into evidence-based policies and programs suitable for public use. Over the past 15 years, an exciting science has emerged that seeks to narrow the gap between the discovery of new knowledge and its application in public health, mental health, and health care settings. Dissemination and implementation (D&I) research seeks to understand how to best apply scientific advances in the real world, by focusing on pushing the evidence-based knowledge base out into routine use. To help propel this crucial field forward, leading D&I scholars and researchers have collaborated to put together this volume to address a number of key issues, including: how to evaluate the evidence base on effective interventions; which strategies will produce the greatest impact; how to design an appropriate study; and how to track a set of essential outcomes. D&I studies must also take into account the barriers to uptake of evidence-based interventions in the communities where people live their lives and the social service agencies, hospitals, and clinics where they receive care. The challenges of moving research to practice and policy are universal, and future progress calls for collaborative partnerships and cross-country research. The fundamental tenet of D&I research—taking what we know about improving health and putting it into practice—must be the highest priority. This book is nothing less than a roadmap that will have broad appeal to researchers and practitioners across many disciplines.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the construction of vehicular space in Latin literary texts, identifying two significant aspects of Roman transport’s representation. First is the set-piece depiction of roadway encounters, articulated as a physical run-in of wayfarers with clashing modes of transport. Although the moralizing thrust of such portraits is to inveigh against lavish transportation while extolling simple travel, their more powerful function is to assert the ability of (particular) mobile parties to transcend transit’s physicality. Second is such scenes’ frequent problematization of physical agency, drivers and passengers being caught between demeaning hands-on participation in travel’s means and excessively passive forms of conveyance. The aim throughout is to move beyond a view of such articulations as merely diatribes against luxurious travel, and to excavate how the underlying instrumentality of transportation—its emphatic ‘by-way-of-ness’—is rhetorically constituted, and indeed a vital part of the Roman production of space.

Full textAbstract:
Fully updated and revised, the second edition of Integrative Nursing is a complete roadmap to holistic patient care, providing a step-by-step guide to assess and clinically treat conditions through a variety of combined methodologies including traditional and alternative therapies with all aspects of lifestyle. This text identifies both the skills and theoretical frameworks for interprofessional systems leaders to consider and implement integrative healthcare strategies within institutions, including several case studies involving practical nursing-led initiatives. This volume covers the foundations of the field; the most effective ways to optimize wellbeing; principles of symptom management for many common disorders like sleep, anxiety, pain, and cognitive impairment; the application of integrative nursing techniques in a variety of clinical settings and among a diverse patient population; and integrative practices around the world and how they impact planetary health. The academic rigor of the text is balanced by practical and relevant content that can be readily implemented into practice for both established professionals as well as students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate nursing programs. Integrative health and medicine is defined as healing-oriented care that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) as well as all aspects of lifestyle; it emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative. Series editor Andrew Weil, MD, is Professor and Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. Dr. Weil’s program was the first such academic program in the U.S., and its stated goal is “to combine the best ideas and practices of conventional and alternative medicine into cost effective treatments without embracing alternative practices uncritically.”
