This comprehensive guide describes the aftercare that is appropriate in young cancer patients and discusses in detail the risk and detection of treatment sequelae. It explains the impacts on body and mind of both the disease itself and the different risk-adapted cancer treatments currently in use. Clear guidance is provided on diagnosis and management of the principal treatment-related toxicities in different organs and organ systems and for a wide variety of tumor types. In addition, the role of genetic polymorphisms in the development of adverse therapy-related outcomes is explored, and advice offered on genetic counselling. As the number of long-term survivors of childhood cancer and of cancer in young adults continues to grow, so issues surrounding potential sequelae, second malignancies, and quality of life are becoming ever more important. All practitioners involved in the care of young cancer patients will find this book to be a helpful source of up-to-date information and assistance.
This data-rich volume reviews short- and long-term consequences of residential or institutional care for children across the globe as well as approaches to reducing maltreatment. Up-to-date findings from a wide range of developing and developed countries identify forms of abuse and neglect associated with institutionalization and their effects on development and pathology in younger children, adolescents, and alumni. The sections on intervention strategies highlight the often-conflicting objectives facing professionals and policymakers balancing the interests of children, families, and facilities. But despite many national and regional variations, two themes stand out: the universal right of...

What are the best practices for leading a workforce in which human employees have merged cognitively and physically with electronic information systems and work alongside social robots, artificial life-forms, and self-aware networks that are ‘colleagues’ rather than simply ‘tools’? How does one manage organizational structures and activities that span actual and virtual worlds? How are the forces of technological posthumanization transforming the theory and practice of management? This volume explores the reality that an organization’s workers, managers, customers, and other stakeholders increasingly comprise a complex network of human agents, artificial agents, and hybrid human-sy...
From the rise of populist leaders and the threat of democratic backsliding to polarizing culture wars and the return of great power competition, the backlash against the political, economic, and social liberalism is increasingly labeled "illiberal." Yet, despite the increasing importance of these phenomena, scholars still lack a firm grasp on illiberalism as a conceptual tool for understanding societal transformations. The Oxford Handbook of Illiberalism addresses this gap by establishing a theoretical foundation for the study of illiberalism and showcasing state-of-the-art research on this phenomenon in its varied scripts-political, economic, cultural, and geopolitical. Bringing together the expertise of dozens of scholars, the Oxford Handbook of Illiberalism offers a thorough overview that characterizes the current state of the field and charts a path forward for future scholarship on this critical and quickly developing concept.
Aufgrund der weitreichenden Kompetenzen, der interdisziplinaren und multiprofessionellen Beteiligung im Hilfeverfahren sowie der rechtlich unklar definierten Rolle der SozialpadagogenInnen geniesst die Eingliederungshilfe fur seelisch behinderte Kinder und Jugendliche vielerorts in der Jugendhilfe noch Respekt - auch nach der mittlerweile 21-jahrigen Existenz. Die Fachkraft im Jugendamt muss daher uber weitreichende Kompetenzen, nicht nur in der Sozialen Arbeit, sondern ebenso in den Bezugsdisziplinen wie der Psychologie, Psychiatrie und der Rechtswissenschaft verfugen. Nur durch das Zusammenfuhren von entwicklungspsychologischem Wissen, der Entstehung und der Ursachen von psychischen Storungen im Kindes- und Jugendalter sowie der Wirkung der Klientel im gesellschaftlichen, psychosozialen Umfeld kann den Entstehungsfaktoren einer seelischen Behinderung entgegengewirkt werden und konnen Ressourcen in der Hilfeplanung der Eingliederungshilfe genutzt werden. Dieses Buch richtet sich aufgrund der Multiprofessionalitat und Interdisziplinaritat neben dem Bereich des Jugendamtes ebenso fur die Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie sowie fur die Schule."
