Supporting the routine use of evidence during the policy-making process
Evidence-informed policy-making (EIPM) is essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and universal health coverage (UHC). While calls for institutionalizing EIDM have increased in recent years to sustain and mainstream efforts, there is a paucity of guidance that can be applied by Member States. The objective of this checklist is to: - prompt discussion and engagement with the concepts defining the institutionalization of EIPM; - support countries with tools for situation analysis and assessment of the evidence ecosystem;[1] - highlight the domains and core competencies, as well as processes that help to make evidence use routine in policy design, implementation and review, and - offer a list of key actions to consider when embedding EIPM in a local context and assessing progress over time. [1] Defined as “a system reflecting the formal and informal linkages and interactions between different actors (and their capacities and resources) involved in the production, translation, and use of evidence” (Stewart et al., 2019).
Advances in Affective and Pleasurable Design
This book discusses the latest advances in affective and pleasurable design. Further, it reports on important theoretical and practical issues, covering a wealth of topics including aesthetics in product and system design, design-driven innovation, affective computing, evaluation tools for emotion, Kansei engineering for products and services, and many more. Based on the AHFE 2018 International Conference on Affective and Pleasurable Design, held on July 21–25, 2018, in Orlando, Florida, USA, the book provides a timely survey and inspiring guide for all researchers and professionals involved in design, e.g. industrial designers, emotion designers, ethnographers, human–computer interaction researchers, human factors engineers, interaction designers, mobile product designers, and vehicle system designers.
Structured Edible Oil: Towards a New Generation of Fat Mimetics
Prof. Ashok Patel of Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT), who served as a Topic Editor for this Research Topic, sadly passed away on Sunday 17th May 2020. We want to acknowledge the important role he played in developing this Research Topic.
Remnants of Hegel
An original philosophical exploration of the limits of Hegels thought. In the preface to the second edition of the Science of Logic, Hegel speaks of an instinctive and unconscious logic whose forms and determinations always remain imperceptible and incapable of becoming objective even as they emerge in language. In spite of Hegels ambitions to provide a philosophical system that might transcend messy human nature, Félix Duque argues that human nature remains stubbornly present in precisely this way. In this book, he responds to the remnants of Hegels work not to explicate his philosophy, but instead to explore the limits of his thought. He begins with the tension between singu...
International and Life Course Aspects of COVID-19
International and Life Course Aspects of COVID-19 describes the nuances and international variations of COVID-19 in different populations and age groups. This volume details those differences in chapters examining the effects of the virus at different life stages, including newborns, children, adolescents, and older populations. Consideration of the age-specific effects of COVID-19 on the brain are a major focus unique to this resource. International observations and global outcomes are also described. This volume is relevant for all clinicians working to ensure the best outcomes for patients with COVID-19 worldwide. - Examines COVID-19 symptoms and concerns according to age - Discusses outc...
The Palgrave Handbook on the Philosophy of Friedrich Schiller
Friedrich Schiller is justly celebrated for his dramas and poetry. Yet, above all, he was a polymath, whose writings enriched a range of fields including history and philosophy. Until now, no comprehensive accounting of this philosophy has been undertaken. The Palgrave Handbook on the Philosophy of Friedrich Schiller makes good this desideratum, treating Schiller's poetry, prose, and dramatic work alongside his philosophical writings and reviewing his thought not only in connection with those who influenced him, such as Kant, Reinhold, and Fichte, but also those he anticipated, such as Hegel, Marx, and the Neo-Kantians. Topics treated in this volume include Schiller's philosophical backgroun...
Sustainability in the Textile and Apparel Industries
This book is part of a five-volume set that explores sustainability in textile industry practices globally. Case studies are provided that cover the theoretical and practical implications of sustainable textile issues, including environmental footprints of textile manufacturing, consumer behavior, eco-design in clothing and apparels, supply chain sustainability, the chemistry of textile manufacturing, waste management and textile economics. The set will be of interest to researchers, engineers, industrialists, R&D managers and students working in textile chemistry, economics, materials science, and sustainable consumption and production. This volume explores some alternative synthetic raw materials resulting from the recycling and regeneration of renewable textile fibers, and how these sustainable green-based composites can contribute to improved ecological and human health. The book offers insights into the impacts of human-made fibers and microfiber pollution, and how biodegradable material sourcing can help to curb harmful environmental impacts from these practices and achieve clothing and apparel sustainability.
Globalization and Latin American Cinema
Studying the case of Latin American cinema, this book analyzes one of the most public - and most exportable- forms of postcolonial national culture to argue that millennial era globalization demands entirely new frameworks for thinking about the relationship between politics, culture, and economic policies. Concerns that globalization would bring the downfall of national culture were common in the 1990s as economies across the globe began implementing neoliberal, free market policies and abolishing state protections for culture industries. Simultaneously, new technologies and the increased mobility of people and information caused others to see globalization as an era of heightened connectiv...
Oxidative Stress in Aquatic Ecosystems
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increasingly appreciated as down-stream effectors of cellular damage and dysfunction under natural and anthropogenic stress scenarios in aquatic systems. This comprehensive volume describes oxidative stress phenomena in different climatic zones and groups of organisms, taking into account specific habitat conditions and how they affect susceptibility to ROS damage. A comprehensive and detailed methods section is included which supplies complete protocols for analyzing ROS production, oxidative damage, and antioxidant systems. Methods are also evaluated with respect to applicability and constraints for different types of research. The authors are all internationally recognized experts in particular fields of oxidative stress research. This comprehensive reference volume is essential for students, researchers, and technicians in the field of ROS research, and also contains information useful for veterinarians, environmental health professionals, and decision makers.
