Dual Pandemics Creating Racially-Just Responses to a Changing Environment through Research Practice and Education

Dual Pandemics: Creating Racially Just Responses to a Changing Environment through Research Practice and Education commits to promoting and disseminating knowledge that calls for the dismantling of systemic racism and creating racially just responses to the dual pandemics. COVID-19 and anti-racist uprisings as a result of the murders of Mr. George Floyd and many other African Americans and other people of color due to police violence has unprecedented impact on our society. While these two pandemics appear to be different in nature both pandemics attest to the fact that systemic racism continues to be a grand challenge and that COVID-19 differentially affects communities and people of color as well as socially disadvantaged groups. This book offers intellectually sound examination conceptualization and rigor in providing viable socially just responsive paths forward. The volume include chapters that focus on anti-racist pedagogy in social work education conceptual discussion contributing to refining a shared understanding of constructs relevant to anti-racist social work and micro mezzo and macro social work practice that aims to prevent or eliminate the negative impact of racism as well as promote racial justice equity and inclusion among individuals families groups organizations or communities. This book will be of great value to students and scholars of Social Work Public Policy Race and Ethnic Studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work. | Dual Pandemics Creating Racially-Just Responses to a Changing Environment through Research Practice and Education

The Theory of Statistical Implicative Analysis Or the Implausibility of Falsehood ... When the Exception Confirms the Rule

The Theory of Statistical Implicative Analysis Or the Implausibility of Falsehood ... When the Exception Confirms the Rule

This book summarizes the methods and concepts of Statistical Implicative Analysis (SIA) created by Régis Gras in the 1980s to study in a new way the behavioural responses of French pupils to mathematics tests. Using a multidimensional non-symmetrical data analysis method SIA crosses a set of subjects or objects with a set of variables. It effectively complements traditional correlational and psychometric methods. SIA through its various extensions is today presented as a broad Artificial Intelligence method aimed at extracting trends and possible causalities in the form of rules from a set of variables. It is based on the unlikeliness of the existence of these relationships i. e. on the relative weakness of their counter-examples compared to what chance alone would produce. It establishes a dual topological relationship between the set of subjects and the set of variables. Many applications of this approach driving forces or crucibles for the development of SIA have concerned and still concern various fields such as didactics evaluation and assessment psychology sociology medicine biology economics art history and others. Key Features: Presents the foundations and representations of SIA Provides extensions of variable sets and subjects Includes a bonus exercise | The Theory of Statistical Implicative Analysis Or the Implausibility of Falsehood .

Young Children in Humanitarian and COVID-19 Crises Innovations and Lessons from the Global South

Young Children in Humanitarian and COVID-19 Crises Innovations and Lessons from the Global South

The long-term consequences of COVID-19 have been tough for children around the world but even more so for young children already in humanitarian crisis whether due to conflict natural disasters or economic and political upheaval. This book investigates how organizations around the world responded to these dual challenges identifying solutions and learning opportunities to help to support young children in ongoing and future crises. Drawing on research and voices from the Global South this book showcases innovations to mobilize new funds and re-allocate existing resources to protect children during the pandemic. It provides important evidence on understudied and overlooked vulnerable populations recognizing that researchers from the Global South are best positioned to fill these research gaps contextualize findings and support the uptake and adoption of recommendations by local decision-makers and practitioners in those same contexts. The findings in this book will be important for practitioners policy makers and donors working in or interested in humanitarian contexts on early childhood development or early childhood education. The book will also be useful to students and researchers working in these fields.

Personal Safety for Health Care Workers

Personal Safety for Health Care Workers

This book is aimed at employers managers and professional and administrative staff in the health care services. GP practices home visits and the hospital are all covered. Despite growing evidence of violence against health care workers some employers have been slow to acknowledge the risks faced in both primary and secondary health care settings. Personal Safety for Health Care Workers provides the tools to investigate the risks involved and to develop policy and practice to ensure staff safety. It also deals with the vexed question of under-reporting. Part I deals with the respective roles and responsibilities of employers and employees and offers guidance on developing a workplace personal safety policy. Workplace design and management are addressed and guidelines provided for health care workers when away from their normal work base. Part 2 gives detailed guidelines for use by individual workers in a variety of work situations. Part 3 considers training issues and contains a number of sample training programmes with handouts. The message of this book is that prevention is better than cure - proper attention to risk can reduce both the incidence of aggression and its development into violent acts. The aim is to achieve the dual effect of protecting health care workers and also of providing services in a more sensitive way. Good practice implies a responsibility to ensure that health care can be delivered in conditions of safety for staff and patients alike.

Christian Environmentalism and Human Responsibility in the 21st Century Questions of Stewardship and Accountability

Christian Environmentalism and Human Responsibility in the 21st Century Questions of Stewardship and Accountability

Christian Environmentalism and Human Responsibility in the 21st Century comprises original scholarly essays and creative works exploring the implications of Christian environmentalism through literary and cultural criticism and creative reflection. The volume draws on a flourishing recent body of Christian ecocriticism and environmental activity incorporating both practical ethics and environmental spirituality but with particular emphasis on the notion of human responsibility. It discusses responsibility in its dual sense as both the recognized cause of environmental destruction and the ethical imperative of accountability to the nonhuman environment. The book crosses boundaries between traditional scholarly and creative reflection through a global range of topics: African oral tradition Ohio artists off the grid immigrant self-metaphors of land and sea iconic writers from Milton to O’Connor to Atwood and Indigenous Canadian models for listening to the nonhuman Mother of us all. In its incorporation of academic and creative pieces from scholars and creative artists across North America this volume shows how environmental work of its nature and necessity crosses traditional academic and community boundaries. In both form and orientation this collection speaks to the most urgent intellectual physical social and spiritual needs of the present day. This book will appeal to scholars researchers and upper-level students interested in the relationship between religion and environment ethics animal welfare poetry memoir and post-secularism. | Christian Environmentalism and Human Responsibility in the 21st Century Questions of Stewardship and Accountability
