Population Health Monitoring
This timely volume presents an in-depth tour of population health monitoring—what it is, what it does, and why it has become increasingly important to health information systems across Europe. Introductory chapters ground readers in the structures of health information systems, and the main theoretical and conceptual models of population health monitoring. From there, contributors offer tools and guidelines for optimum monitoring, including best practices for gathering and contextualizing data and for disseminating findings, to benefit the people most affected by the information. And an extended example follows the step-by-step processes of population health monitoring through a study of h...

The seven veils of privacy
Privacy is one of the most contested concepts of our time. This book sets out a rigorous and comprehensive framework for understanding debates about privacy and our rights to it. Much of the conflict around privacy comes from a failure to recognise divergent perspectives. Some people argue about human rights, some about social conventions, others about individual preferences and still others about information and data processing. As a result, ‘privacy’ has become the focus of competing definitions, leading some to denounce the ‘disarray’ in the field. But as this book shows, disagreements about the role and value of privacy obscure a large amount of agreement on the topic. Privacy is not a technical term of law, cybersecurity or sociology, but a word in common use that adequately expresses a few simple and related ideas.

Data Protection on the Move
This volume brings together papers that offer methodologies, conceptual analyses, highlight issues, propose solutions, and discuss practices regarding privacy and data protection. It is one of the results of the eight annual International Conference on Computers, Privacy, and Data Protection, CPDP 2015, held in Brussels in January 2015. The book explores core concepts, rights and values in (upcoming) data protection regulation and their (in)adequacy in view of developments such as Big and Open Data, including the right to be forgotten, metadata, and anonymity. It discusses privacy promoting methods and tools such as a formal systems modeling methodology, privacy by design in various forms (r...
Cibo, salute e business
Il tema dell’obesità è stato analizzato sotto diversi profili. Ogni disciplina ha adottato metodi e strumenti specifici che non hanno consentito una piena comprensione del fenomeno e l’individuazione di soluzioni adeguate. Per comprendere pienamente il comportamento delle persone e orientarle verso traiettorie virtuose sul piano individuale e collettivo occorre invece coniugare la conoscenza di diverse discipline. In questa direzione l’economia comportamentale e il neuromarketing – diversamente dall’economia e dal marketing tradizionale, che non si occupano del processo con cui l’individuo arriva alla scelta, ma si limitano ad analizzare le decisioni prese e il loro legame con ...
Il mercato e il dono
Il tema cruciale del libro è l’invenzione del capitalismo e dei suoi diversi «spiriti»: quello protestante e quello cattolico. In particolare l’autore ricostruisce le ragioni storiche e filosofi che, di matrici nordiche, che hanno portato al capitalismo attuale. Perché il modello latino dell’economia sociale o civile ha avuto diversa sorte? L’idea smithiana di scambio economico come reciproca indifferenza e quella di mercato come luogo delle relazioni anonime e impersonali reggono ancora l’intero impianto dell’economia contemporanea. Si è passati dalla condanna dello «sterco del demonio o mammona» al culto del denaro, trasformato in una vera e propria religione. I capitalismi, però, non sono tutti uguali – o almeno non lo erano fino a un’ epoca recente. L’Europa, in particolare, aveva generato una sua propria via al capitalismo. Un capitalismo sociale, un’economia di mercato civile che dobbiamo riscoprire di fronte ai fallimenti del capitalismo finanziario.
Carbon Capture and Storage
A theoretical and practical analysis of the complex liability issues raised by carbon capture and storage systems for containing greenhouse gases. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems inject highly compressed carbon dioxide gas deep into geological formations in order to contain the gas, and its harmful effects on the planet, for the foreseeable future and beyond—for centuries or even millennia. Used effectively, CCS could lessen the impact of climate change while carbon-free energy sources are developed. And yet CCS is not widely deployed. In this book, Michael Faure and Roy Partain offer a theoretical and practical discussion of one of the main obstacles to CCS adoption: complex liab...
