Peteet B: (dis)Honor Thy Mother

(dis)Honor Thy Mother

Daughterhood, Dysfunction & Deliverance

Epilepsy has long been one of the most stigmatised health conditions. People's beliefs about it are doubtless partly due to what a fit looks like and its aftermath- the frothing at the mouth, shouting, bleeding, bumps, bruising and injuries - all of which can be difficult to look at. After nearly thirty years of living with seizures, Fran Thomas provides a much-needed handbook for epileptics and non-epileptics alike. It includes everything you need to survive when you are having fits and details what to expect from a life which is constantly throwing you a curveball. These are tried and tested strategies from the author's own experience of repeatedly falling down, getting up, then falling down again and again. This searingly honest and thought-provoking book is the story of the author's fits, injuries and increasing memory loss, set alongside the wider story of epilepsy and society. It shows you how to: - Make your house safe to live in - Train a seizure dog - Survive a night in A&amp;E - Navigate a professional life with epilepsy - Create a support network - Talk to others about your fits

Leininger’s Transcultural Healthcare: Concepts, Theories, Research & Practices

Wiley Cochrane Series

Learn to plan, conduct, or update a systematic review of qualitative evidence Qualitative Evidence Syntheses (QESs) are an increasingly important type of systematic review and a valuable tool for global and local decision-making. Their value as a method for systematically bringing together, assessing and synthesizing qualitative research has made them a crucial part of the industry-standard Cochrane and Campbell Reviews. There is an urgent and as-of-yet unmet need for a QES handbook which equips Cochrane and Campbell review authors with the most appropriate tools, processes, and methods required to conduct robust and trusted QESs. The Cochrane-Campbell Handbook for Qualitative Evidence Synthesis meets this need with a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to conducting Cochrane and Campbell-standard QES. Informed by the knowledge and experience of the Cochrane Qualitative and Implementation Methods Group (QIMG) and members of the Campbell Methods Group, the Cochrane-Campbell Handbook arms review authors with everything they need to conduct qualitative evidence syntheses. The Handbook includes new guidance and evidence-informed tools that make a critical contribution to the ever more important field of evidence synthesis. Cochrane-Campbell Handbook for Qualitative Evidence Synthesis readers will also find: Peer-reviewed chapters covering key review processes and methods written by a group of highly experienced qualitative and mixed methods researchers and review authorsDetailed discussion of additional topics including integrating the findings of a QES with an intervention effects review, public and professional involvement in QESs, equity, diversity and inclusion, reflexivity, how to peer review and report a QESValuable information and guidance to complement to Cochrane's robust training program (https://training.cochrane.org)The Cochrane-Campbell Handbook for Qualitative Evidence Synthesis is ideal for researchers and reviewers, including trainers, Cochrane and Campbell editors, guideline groups, including WHO and NICE, and all those who wish to understand, critique or use systematic reviews which include qualitative evidence.

If Your Adolescent Has Autism

A gripping investigation into the Covid-19 pandemic's lasting effects on our bodies, systems, and trust in science.The Covid-19 pandemic may have faded from headlines, but its shadow remains. In After Covid, award-winning journalist Jason Gale delivers a gripping, deeply researched account of a crisis that has fundamentally changed the world, and continues to reshape it in ways we're only beginning to understand.In this riveting account of the pandemic and its devastating ripple effects, Gale captures the pandemic's messy realities--the panic it spurred, the misinformation and political infighting that stood in the way of controlling it, and the heroic efforts by scientists and health care workers to contain it. Gale exposes what went wrong, what worked, and what continues to threaten us. From the pandemic's chaotic beginnings to the hidden toll of Long Covid, he examines how governments shaped--and sometimes warped--the public narrative around the pandemic. He documents the consequences still unfolding: the rise of chronic illness, the erosion of healthcare systems, the deepening mental health crisis, and the dangerous spread of anti-science extremism.This book is a powerful, evidence-based reminder that pandemics don't end when case numbers fall. They linger in damaged bodies, strained institutions, and collective memory. Gale connects the dots between lingering symptoms and systemic failure, offering a sweeping view of what's at stake if we choose to forget. After Covid urges readers to confront the true scope of the pandemic's legacy--and the vulnerabilities it has revealed in our systems, societies, and selves.

This book provides a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts of financial mathematics essential for the evaluation of any financial product and instrument. Mastering concepts of present and future values of streams of cash flows under different interest rate environments is core for actuaries and financial economists. This book covers the body of knowledge required by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) for its Financial Mathematics (FM) Exam. The third edition includes major changes such as an addition of an R Laboratory section in each chapter, except for Chapter 9. These sections provide R codes to do various computations, which will facilitate students to apply conceptual knowledge. Additionally, key definitions have been revised and the theme structure has been altered. Students studying undergraduate courses on financial mathematics for actuaries will find this book useful. This book offers numerous examples and exercises, some of which are adapted from previous SOA FM Exams. It is also useful for students preparing for the actuarial professional exams through self-study.

Navigating The Pandemic: Talking Sense And Sensibility About Covid-19

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. During crises, such as pandemics or environmental disasters, governments must act swiftly to prevent disease and death, often with incomplete information. The principle of proportionality serves as the established legal and ethical standard for navigating this balance. However, during times of severe crisis and uncertainty, determining the proportionality of public health actions is extremely complex, particularly when decisions are made without conclusive evidence or uniformly applicable international standards. In Proportionality, Nikola Biller-Andorno, Julian W. März, Corine Mouton-Dorey, and Stéphanie Dagron bring together 49 scholars and practitioners from around the world to explore how proportionality can guide and shape decision-making under crisis conditions. As they argue, a fundamental challenge in this domain is reconciling the obligation to foster population health through disease prevention, detection, and intervention with the imperative to respect and protect individual rights, including autonomy and privacy. Thus, the chapters in this volume highlight the principle and the process of proportionality, in order to guide decision-making and apply proportionate measures in the face of future public health crises, whether infectious, ecological, or linked to armed conflict. This volume not only develops the key concept of proportionality from the perspectives of law, human rights, philosophy, public health ethics, and political science, but it also looks at specific proportionality issues, such as freedom of movement, gender equity, children's rights and disease prevention. Examining how governments and health authorities navigate the delicate balance between protecting public health and safeguarding individual rights in times of crisis, Proportionality provides a comprehensive analysis on the topic. Further, it aims to guide the development of public health policies that are effective, equitable, and respectful of human rights.

Bioethical Responsibilities in Twenty-First Century Crises

How the thoughtful reimagining of health-centric built environments both locally and globally can better serve vulnerable populations and reduce health disparities in a climate-threatened world.As climate change accelerates, its impact on public health grows, disproportionately affecting medically underserved populations. In Architecture and Health Equity in an Imperiled World, Stephen Verderber addresses the urgent need for innovative architectural and ecologically responsible strategies to confront health inequities exacerbated by the global climate crisis. This book highlights the critical role of health-centric architecture in mitigating these inequities and creating resilient, therapeutically supportive environments. Combining insights from public health, architecture, and climate science, this book examines how the built environment can both contribute to and alleviate health disparities. Chapters examine the unique vulnerabilities of health-focused built environments including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and long-term care facilities amid the devastating effects of rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and escalating public health emergencies. Emphasizing the urgent need for innovative, resilient design strategies, Architecture and Health Equity in an Imperiled World illustrates how thoughtful and compassionate design innovations can better serve increasingly vulnerable populations both locally and globally. An essential resource for health care leaders, architects, and policymakers, Architecture and Health Equity in an Imperiled World challenges traditional, increasingly obsolete policies and protocols, advocating instead for innovative strategies and solutions to improve health and promote sustainability. This book offers a bold new vision for leveraging architectural design and its diverse benefits to society to ensure that communities can thrive sustainably and regeneratively in an uncertain future.

Architecture and Health Equity in an Imperiled World

A portrait of people fighting for truth and accountability as they confront the environmental injustice of "forever chemicals."Invisible and nearly indestructible, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have seeped into the blood of almost every American and permeated the natural world. These insidious chemicals now drift on global air currents, fall in rain, accumulate in soils and food webs, and can persist in ecosystems for generations. Inescapable reveals how ordinary people are tackling the toxic impacts from this sprawling class of industrial compounds--long used in consumer products, building supplies, and firefighting foam and still widely produced.Journalist Marina Schauffler recounts how PFAS contamination in Maine, a state known for its bountiful farms, woods, and waters, has upended lives and livelihoods, endangered public health, and cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. Stories from homeowners, firefighters, farmers, tribal members, researchers, and elected officials reveal the staggering implications of the federal government's failure to regulate synthetic chemicals that manufacturers have known for decades were toxic. Maine is among states at the forefront of PFAS testing and regulation, but no region is immune from this chemical threat.The poignant accounts in this book illuminate the challenge of reckoning with the far-reaching effects of PFAS and addressing the ongoing burden borne by highly affected individuals. Countless communities across the nation and world could face similar struggles as the ubiquity of PFAS contamination becomes clear. Inescapable offers a roadmap for tackling this chemical Hydra.
