Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This open access book considers the water, energy, food (WEF) nexus in the Pacific region. The region comprises seventeen sovereign countries and seven territories spread across the Pacific Ocean, a blue expanse that covers a fifth of the world's surface area but contains only 0.5% of the population-or 44.5 million people. The uniqueness of the Pacific and the need for a Pasifika-led approach to sustainability across environmental, societal and economical spheres requires this blue continent to be considered in a separate volume under the 'Water Security in a New World' series.This Pacific volume is focussed on water, energy and food security in Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) and the challenges produced by the impacts of anthropogenic climate change and human population pressures. The diversity of culture, traditional knowledge and ways of life across the Pacific are united by similar geographies and opportunities to apply a 'Pacific specific' WEF nexus approach; a coordinated approach to manage water, energy and food that is centred on active decision making across the three sectors to increase the security of each. Importantly, a WEF nexus approach builds on national and international efforts to date in the Pacific which include Integrated Water Resource Management, Ridge to Reef, Source to Sea, UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, Integrated Coastal Zone Management and other similar approaches.In this book, contributions by authors from governments, regional bodies, multilateral agencies, and academia describe water security and its intersectionality with both the energy and food sectors, highlighting the significance of both land and marine food systems and connectivity between water and energy in a Pacific-focussed context. It is demonstrated that these systems cannot be separated from the challenges associated with healthy environments and functioning ecological services, transport, and waste that are unique to this vast archipelagic region. To achieve meaningful change, it is essential that solutions are cognizant of the world's colonial past and the global inequalities that persist today. The path forward for water and food systems is one that is Pasifika-led and builds on traditional knowledge and local capacity. National energy demands must consider the future with solutions comprising both WEF-integrated approaches and new energy technologies to hasten the transition away from fossil fuels. Globally, major greenhouse gas emitters both past and present need to step up for the environmental and economic benefit of all by rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting Pasifika leadership on highly ambitious net zero goals.This book is a highly recommended source of information and inspiration for policy makers, decision makers, research communities and practitioners dealing with any aspect of water, energy, or food security in the Pacific. 450 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Die Befassung mit 'Landschaft' hat in den letzten Jahren in der Öffentlichkeit und den Wissenschaften an Bedeutung gewonnen. Verbunden war dies nicht vorwiegend mit den Konflikten, die sich in den letzten Jahren um physische Manifestationen der Verminderung von und Anpassung an den anthropogenen Klimawandel ergaben. In Philosophie und Sozialwissenschaften haben sich - nicht zuletzt ausgehend von einem gemeinsamen Bezugspunkt der 'Philosophie der Landschaft' von Georg Simmel aus dem Jahre 1913 - unterschiedliche Traditionen im Umgang mit 'Landschaft' entwickelt. Diese werden in dem vorliegenden Buch hinsichtlich ihrer Tauglichkeit einer Kritik unterzogen, Antworten auf die landschaftsbezogenen Herausforderungen der Gegenwart, sowohl in Bezug auf Wissenschaft, aber auch Gesellschaft zu leisten. Diese Kritik basiert auf einem eigens hierfür entwickelten kategorialen System, das sich zwischen den Dimensionen Konkretheit-Abstraktheit und wissenschaftsintern-wissenschaftsextern aufspannt. Zentrale herausgearbeitete Kritikpunkte sind neben einer unzureichenden Begriffsarbeit und einer 'Individuenvergessenheit' beider Disziplinen auch die Reduzierung des Landschaftsbegriffs auf den Naturbegriff in der philosophischen Landschaftsforschung. 100 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Praise for Past Editions'This book is a vital read for individuals and the collective nursing profession I encourage those who are concerned about the collective nursing profession, about what nurse educators are teaching students, about healthcare's high staff turnover and poor patient quality outcomes to consider reading and using this book.' - M. R. Morrow, RN, PhD., Nursing Science Quarterly'This book addresses the issue that all nurses eventually face at one time or another in their career, a loss of passion. The author takes readers on a journey to recapture their passion.Every nurse should read this book.' -V. Hedderick,¿Doody's Review ServiceAs relevant today as it was when the first edition was published in 2012--likely even more so after the devastation of COVID 19--Dr. Vidette Todaro-Franceschi delves deeper into issues surrounding professional quality of life (PQOL) for nurses and the intricate connection to caliber of care and healthcare outcomes. She offers new insights on compassion fatigue, burnout, moral distress, caring for the dying, PTSD, and workplace bullying and violence noting that while the COVID-19 pandemic has grossly exacerbated existing problems in the workplace it has also created a 'perfect storm' for nurses to regain a sense of the meaning and purpose of their work.Written by an acknowledged expert in end-of-life education, professional quality of life, and clinical leadership, this book will help empower nurses so that they can create a healthier, more compassionate work environment. Supported by research but written from a holistic and personal perspective, the text includes real-life examples, strategies, and exercises that will help readers to identify negative patterns and explore ways to recapture the joy in their work lives.New to the Third Edition:- Integrates the impact of COVID-19 on the nursing profession throughout- Provides new information on enhancing PQOL for nurses- Includes new real-life examples from multiple nursing disciplinesKey Features:- Articulates an ethic of care developed from a transdisciplinary perspective- Offers a framework--the ART model, for mindful healing, living and working- Shares real-life examples from critical care, end-of-life, oncology, and other clinical areas- Provides a template for nurses, nurse educators and leaders to address critical issues affecting nursing workforce health, happiness and the work environment- Includes a Nurse Leaders Resource Kit to assist staff with improving PQOL.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Successful public order management is critical to upholding democracy and maintaining the rule of law. Negative police-public interactions during assemblies can impact the safety and well-being of citizens and officers, as well as local and international perceptions of police legitimacy. As observed during events across the world, including assemblies in the U.S., Myanmar, Belarus, Russia, and elsewhere, police mismanagement of mass demonstrations often instigates crowd violence and other harmful behaviors. The causes of violence at assemblies are complex and multi-faceted. Failure to understand crowd dynamics that lead to violence limits police effectiveness and contributes to poor officer decision-making. This book offers an international review of public order management experiences and effective practices. Practical examples, grounded in multi-disciplinary theory and science, offer a roadmap to improve police response and increase safety at assemblies in democratic countries. The diverse content, perspectives, and lessons learned presented in this volume will serve as a useful guide for all people working in the field of public order management, including police officials, policymakers, and researchers. This edited volume was written by and for practitioners, pracademics, and academics to review the complex and demanding task of policing public order.…
