Bridging Occupational, Organizational and Public Health
In our complex, fast changing society, health is strongly influenced by the continuously changing interactions between organisations and their employees. Three major fields contribute to health-oriented improvements of these interactions: occupational health, organizational health and public health. As currently only partial links exist amongst these fields, the book aims to explore potential synergies more systematically. Considering the high mental and social demands in a service and knowledge sector economy, the first part of the book focuses on work-related psychosocial factors. As a large proportion of inequalities in health in developed countries can be explained by inequalities in wor...
Hochschulzugang und Barrieren der zweiten Generation "trkischer" Studierender - Handlungsfelder der sozialen Arbeit
Die Diskussion um das Thema „Bildung“ hat in den letzten Jahren stetig zugenommen. Sowohl in der Öffentlichkeit als auch in der Wissenschaft wird unter anderem diskutiert, wie man Bildungsdefizite wirkungsvoll verringern kann. Festzustellen ist, dass der Bildungserfolg der Kinder und Jugendlichen für ihre berufliche, aber auch für ihre private Zukunft eine bedeutende Rolle eingenommen hat.

In dem vorliegenden Buch werden daher Hochschulzugang und Barrieren am Beispiel der sogenannten zweiten Generation türkischer Juge...
A History of Population Health
Winner of the 2021 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award In A History of Population Health Johan P. Mackenbach offers a broad-sweeping study of the spectacular changes in people’s health in Europe since the early 18th century. Most of the 40 specific diseases covered in this book show a fascinating pattern of ‘rise-and-fall’, with large differences in timing between countries. Using a unique collection of historical data and bringing together insights from demography, economics, sociology, political science, medicine, epidemiology and general history, it shows that these changes and variations did not occur spontaneously, but were mostly man-made. Throughout European history, changes in health and longevity were therefore closely related to economic, social, and political conditions, with public health and medical care both making important contributions to population health improvement. Readers who would like to have a closer look at the quantitative data used in the trend graphs included in the book can find these it here.
Einsamkeit heute
Das anhaltende, subjektiv wahrgenommene Gefühl der Einsamkeit wurde in den vergangenen Jahren zu einem sozialen Problem mit weitreichenden gesundheitlichen und gesellschaftlichen Folgen: Einsamkeit scheint heute fast ein unverrückbarer Bestandteil des Menschseins zu sein. Auch wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zeigen, dass sich der Anteil an Menschen, die sich einsam fühlen, in Europa über alle Lebensalter hinweg erhöht hat. Die Gründe dafür sind komplex; es greift zu kurz, Einsamkeit nur auf die Covid-19-Pandemie zurückzuführen. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes beleuchten aus psychologischer, psychiatrischer, soziologischer, philosophischer und theologischer Perspektive individuelle Zusa...
Switchcraft
What is the key ingredient to a happy, successful life? There is no one-size-fits-all solution to dealing with life. Elaine Fox, one of the world's leading psychologists and performance coaches, has witnessed this time and again. In her work coaching top athletes, military leaders and business professionals, she has seen that it's the people who know how and when to switch between different approaches - people who have an agile mind - who achieve the best performance. Drawing on 25 years of scientific research, Fox shares with us her step-by-step guide to what she calls 'switchcraft': the set of skills we need to navigate a complex and uncertain world. Whether it's coping with a difficult boss, overcoming a fear, dealing with hyperactive children, resolving a dispute with a friend or making a difficult choice about where to live or what to do, switchcraft helps us thrive in any situation. Like your own personal life coach, Switchcraft shows you how to break out of a rigid mindset to restore your fulfilment, curiosity and zest for life.

Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights
The scope of Artificial Intelligence's (AI) hold on modern life is only just beginning to be fully understood. Academics, professionals, policymakers, and legislators are analysing the effects of AI in the legal realm, notably in human rights work. Artificial Intelligence technologies and modern human rights have lived parallel lives for the last sixty years, and they continue to evolve with one another as both fields take shape. Human Rights and Artificial Intelligence explores the effects of AI on both the concept of human rights and on specific topics, including civil and political rights, privacy, non-discrimination, fair procedure, and asylum. Second- and third-generation human rights are also addressed. By mapping this relationship, the book clarifies the benefits and risks for human rights as new AI applications are designed and deployed. Its granular perspective makes Human Rights and Artificial Intelligence a seminal text on the legal ramifications of machine learning. This expansive volume will be useful to academics and professionals navigating the complex relationship between AI and human rights.
Raumsensible Migrationsforschung
Der sogenannte „spatial turn“ ist bereits in vielen Bereichen der Sozialwissenschaften vollzogen worden. In der Migrationssoziologie hingegen sind raumspezifische Überlegungen bislang nur selten anzutreffen. Am Beginn dieses Buches steht daher die Auseinandersetzung mit der Frage, wie dieser Umstand historisch zu verstehen sein könnte. Im Anschluss daran wird ein konzeptueller methodologischer Vorschlag gemacht, wie raumspezifische Überlegungen die Migrationssoziologie bereichern können. Dies wird anhand empirischer Beispiele am Ende des Buches näher erläutert.
