This book analyses the political and public debates about euthanasia in Portugal. Utilising petitions submitted to Parliament, legislative bills, parliamentary debates, opinion articles in newspapers, and documents published by the Catholic Church, it examines this sensitive issue through the theoretical lens of morality politics. It does so by studying the process of political dispute between advocacy coalitions formed by political parties and societal actors. This is the first book to comprehensively analyse a morality issue in Portugal, a predominantly Catholic country that has taken an innovative and liberal stance on many morality issues over the last two decades. It will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, political science, public policy and bioethics, as well as policymakers and other interest groups.
There continues to be a worldwide interest in the size-dependent properties of nanostructured materials and their applications in many diverse fields such as catalysis, sensors, energy conversion processes, and biomedicine to name a few. The eleven chapters of this book written by different researchers include four chapters on the different methods of fabrication of specific materials followed by characterization of their properties, and the remaining seven chapters focusing on the fabrications and applications including three chapters on biomedical applications, two chapters on sensors, one chapter on solar cells, and one chapter on the use of nanoparticles in herbicides. These chapters provide up-to-date reviews useful for current and future researchers in these specific areas.

One of the global targets of WHO’s End TB Strategy is that no TB patients and their households face catastrophic costs as a result of TB disease. This book provides comprehensive documentation about 20 national surveys of costs faced by TB patients and their households that were completed between 2015 and 2021, according to WHO-recommended methods. Results include estimates of the proportion of TB patients and their households facing catastrophic costs, as well as a wealth of other data. It is hoped that the book will serve as a key reference for ministries of health and other government agencies, and their national and international partners, as they work towards reducing costs faced by TB patients and their households. The book was a collaborative effort of the 20 countries in which surveys were done and their technical partners, with contributions from more than 300 people.

She arrives in Lisbon at the tender age of three, and feels like an outs...
