Faith-Based Health Justice
In Faith-Based Health Justice, a stellar assembly of scholars mines critical insights into the promotion of health justice across Christian and Islamic faith traditions and beyond. Contributors to the volume consider what health justice might mean today, if developed in accordance with faith traditions whose commandment to care for the poor, ill, and marginalized lies at the core of their theology. And what kind of transformation of both faith traditions and public policies would be needed in the face of the health justice challenges in our turbulent time? Contributors to the volume come from a wide range of backgrounds, and the result will be of interest to scholars and students in social ethics, development studies, global theology, interreligious studies, and global health as well as experts, practitioners, and policy-makers in health and development work.
Vapaa mieli
Milloin ihmisen mieli on vapaa? Mikä mielen vapautta rajoittaa? Mitä uskonnon- ja mielipiteenvapaus tarkoittaa tilanteissa, joissa ihminen päätyy psykiatriseen hoitoon poikkeuksellisten uskomustensa ja kokemustensa vuoksi? Miten ihmiseen lyöty hullun leima vaikuttaa siihen, miten hänen elämää ja uskoa koskeviin pohdintoihinsa suhtaudutaan? "Vapaa mieli: uskonnon- ja mielipiteenvapaus mielenterveyden järkkyessä" kokoaa ja tiivistää sosiaalieetikko Mari Stenlundin tutkimustyötä. Kirja on toteutunut Stenlundin ja mielenterveyden kokemusasiantuntijoiden yhteistyönä. Stenlundin artikkeleiden kanssa vuorottelevat kokemusasiantuntijoiden kirjoitukset, joissa kirjoittajat kuvaavat omia näkemyksiään ja kokemuksiaan uskonnon- ja mielipiteenvapaudesta. "Kun haluamme ymmärtää uskonnon- ja mielipiteenvapautta, on käännyttävä marginaalin puoleen. On kohdattava ihmisyyden koko kirjo, jotta voimme käsittää, mikä ihmisoikeuksissa on kaikkein keskeisintä." (Mari Stenlund)

Shock Waves
Ending poverty and stabilizing climate change will be two unprecedented global achievements and two major steps toward sustainable development. But the two objectives cannot be considered in isolation: they need to be jointly tackled through an integrated strategy. This report brings together those two objectives and explores how they can more easily be achieved if considered together. It examines the potential impact of climate change and climate policies on poverty reduction. It also provides guidance on how to create a “win-win†? situation so that climate change policies contribute to poverty reduction and poverty-reduction policies contribute to climate change mitigation and resilience building. The key finding of the report is that climate change represents a significant obstacle to the sustained eradication of poverty, but future impacts on poverty are determined by policy choices: rapid, inclusive, and climate-informed development can prevent most short-term impacts whereas immediate pro-poor, emissions-reduction policies can drastically limit long-term ones.

Managing Chronicity in Unequal States
By portraying the circumstances of people living with chronic conditions in radically different contexts, from Alzheimer’s patients in the UK to homeless people with psychiatric disorders in India, Managing Chronicity in Unequal States offers glimpses of what dealing with medically complex conditions in stratified societies means. While in some places the state regulates and intrudes on the most intimate aspects of chronic living, in others it is utterly and criminally absent. Either way, it is a present/absent actor that deeply conditions people’s opportunities and strategies of care. This book explores how individuals, groups and communities navigate uncertain and unequal healthcare sy...
Travelling through time
Evolutionary knowledge is important to understand and address contemporary challenges such as loss of biodiversity, climate change and antibiotic resistance. An important aspect that is considered to be a threshold concept in teaching and learning about evolution is the time it involves. The history of evolution comprises several scales of magnitude, some of which are far from direct human experience and therefore difficult to understand. One way of addressing this issue is to use dynamic visualizations that represent time, for example, to facilitate teaching and learning about evolution. This thesis investigates how students’ comprehension of evolution and evolutionary time can be facilit...
Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2012
The Nordic countries have collaborated in setting guidelines for dietary composition and recommended intakes of nutrients for several decades through the joint publication of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR). This 5th edition, the NNR 2012, gives Dietary Reference Values (DRVs) for nutrients, and compared with earlier editions more emphasis has been put on evaluating the scientific evidence for the role of food and food patterns contributing to the prevention of the major diet-related chronic diseases. Recommendations on physical activity are included and interaction with physical activity has been taken into account for the individual nutrient recommendations wherever appropriate....
