Problems and Interventions in Literacy Development
From August 19-23 1996 an international expert meeting on problems and interventions in literacy development took place in Amsterdam. The meeting was organized by Pieter Reitsma (Paedologisch Instituut - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) and Ludo Verhoeven (University of Nijmegen), and funded by the Dutch National Science Foundation. Various experts in the field of literacy problems from 12 countries attended the meeting while presenting a paper based on current peESpectives and recent research. A selection of the papers being presented is now integrated into a single academic reference, after being edited and updated. The editors wish to thank all contributors to this volume for redrafting thei...
The Neurobiology-Psychotherapy-Pharmacology Intervention Triangle
This book intends to open the debate between three main aspects of clinical practice: psychotherapy (including psychological and philosophical influences), neurobiology and pharmacology. These three main themes are clinically applied in what we call the “Intervention Triangle”. The book will first focus on epistemologically distinct frameworks and gradually attempt to consider the integration of these three fundamental vertexes of practice. These vertexes are substantially unbalanced in the mental health field, and thus, this book tries to make sense of this phenomenon. Unique in its interdisciplinary and comprehensive view of mental health problems and approaches, this book offers a new perspective on unidisciplinary integration that previous publications have not considered. As an innovative contribution to its field, this volume will be particularly relevant to practitioners working towards integrative frameworks. It will also be of interest to students, clinicians and researchers, in particular, those working in psychology, medicine, psychiatry, philosophy, social work, and pharmacy.
Securing and Enforcing Judgments in Latin America
Securing and Enforcing Judgments in Latin America was originally published, under the editorship of Philip R. Weems, in 1987. Its purpose was, and continues to be, to serve as an aide to lawyers involved in transnational business matters, both in planning transactions and in formulating strategy for the prosecution or defense of claims crossing national borders. A primary objective of the book has always been to provide current and reliable sources of information on the enforcement of money judgments in various countries around the world. It has also been its intention that this information be provided by experienced international law firms from the countries whose laws are discussed and to convey the information by means of a uniform format, to permit easier comparison among jurisdictions.
Science, Technology and Medicine in the Making of Lisbon (1840–1940)
This volumes presents the first urban history of science, technology, and medicine in Lisbon, 1840-1940.

Achieving Sustainable Transformation in Tourism and Hospitality Sectors
In the sector of global tourism, a critical challenge has taken center stage — the imperative for sustainable transformation. The World Tourism Organization has declared the theme for World Tourism Day 2025 as "Tourism and Sustainable Transformation," shedding light on the urgency to address multifaceted challenges that transcend conventional paradigms. The discourse has evolved beyond the traditional bounds of environmental sustainability, extending its reach to encompass social equality, cultural preservation, and economic viability. The tourism sector's pivotal role in achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 underscores the intricate interplay between tou...
Technologies for Neonatal Care in LMICs
Newborn babies are arguably the most vulnerable class of patients in any society. They are entirely incapable of surviving on their own without external help from carers and society. A poorly attended newborn will more likely die than one who received well-guided and knowledgeable care. Therefore, the neonatal mortality rate of any society represents a quick measure of the efficiency of its healthcare system, available technologies, and knowledge base. It is common knowledge that low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) contribute over 80% of the global annual burden of neonatal deaths. Limited access to sustainable technologies for neonatal care is one of the major impediments to lowering neonatal mortality in LMICs. Highly sophisticated technologies as applied in high-income countries (HICs) may be unaffordable and unsustainable at LMICs, however, a well-crafted basic technology may be appreciably effective in lifesaving, affordable, and easily maintainable by the indigenous people. The promotion, adaptation, implementation, and scale-up of such appropriate technologies by other LMICs could offer them the quickest route to better neonatal survival.
VERSUS: Heritage for Tomorrow
Vernacular architecture represents a great resource that has considerable potential to define principles for sustainable design and contemporary architecture. This publication is the result of an overall aim to produce a valuable tool for analysis regarding vernacular heritage through different assessments, in order to define principles to consider for sustainable development. This was possible through a comprehensive reflection on the principles established and the strategies to recognise in different world contexts. The present publication was the result of an in-depth approach by 46 authors from 12 countries, concerned with the analysis and critical assessment of vernacular heritage and i...
Cancer Care Support 1st International Edition 2022
This compendium is intended to be the first updated review of most of the clinical situations that cancer patients may present. It identifies the clinical picture and the therapeutic orientation, with the degrees of recommendation and evidence, as well as the direct bibliographic reference for each statement. We took a multidisciplinary approach, with the collaboration of 261 authors from 9 countries, 45 hospitals and 19 medical and non-medical specialties. This compendium (IOC 2022) is the result of the effort and innovative spirit of its authors, will be updated every two years. The first international edition of cancer care support based on real world evidence (RWE) contains all the latest news in cancer care support treatment and assigns levels of evidence and grades of recommendation so that the reader can obtain a quick impression and certainty of each of the treatments and strategies presented. The GRADE and OXFORD scales have been used for the levels of evidence.
