This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic growth involves sustained and equitable gains in per capita income, as well as structural shifts in an economy's product mix towards better value-added commodities and more effective manufacturing processes. Entrepreneurs can promote the reallocation of resources from less productive to more productive uses, which will help the economy grow. Entrepreneurs frequently act as innovators, introducing novel products and technologies to the market, developing fresh products, methods, and concepts, as well as commercializing new information. But it's a common misconception that innovation by businesspeople has less of an impact on growth in low-income developing nations than it does in more developed ones. This book's goal is to offer fresh viewpoints on three issues related to innovation and entrepreneurship in developing nations: What effect does innovation have on growth? This book is an edited book where authors have contributed their original research papers.

Download or read book Global Perspectives in Cancer Care written by Michael Silbermann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Contemporary medical models focus predominantly on the technical and financial aspects of care. While these are important aspects of care, they fail to include what may be the most critical need of patients and families - that is, the whole-person approach to care where psychosocial and spiritual needs are viewed as essential and just as important as the physical. Cecily Saunders, the founder of hospice, was one of the first to describe the concept of 'total pain', which led to the biopsychosocial and spiritual model of care. In 2014, the World Health Assembly for the WHO passed a resolution which included spiritual care as an essential domain of palliative care, stating that Palliative Care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients "through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and correct assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, whether physical, psychosocial or spiritual." WHO also noted that "it is the ethical duty of health care professionals" to alleviate pain and suffering, whether physical, psychosocial or spiritual and further supported an interdisciplinary model by noting the need for collaboration between professional palliative care providers and support care providers, including spiritual support and counseling"--

Download or read book The Vindication of the World written by Malcolm Keating and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Phillips has devoted his career to excavating some of the most valuable gems of Indian philosophy and bringing them into conversation with contemporary thought. This volume honors him and follows his lead by continuing his lifelong project: faithfully interpreting Sanskrit texts to think along with their authors about ideas that still perplex us today. It features ten new essays focusing on epistemology, logic, and metaphysics from outstanding philosophers and scholars of Sanskrit philosophy, with contributions varying in methodology: both historical and cross-cultural. Further, in addition to essays on Nyāya and Advaita Vedānta, it engages with Navya-Nyāya (“new Nyāya”), an important but understudied part of Indian philosophy. Through these investigations, in conversation with Phillips's groundbreaking work, the contributors show the value of cross-cultural engagement for philosophical progress. The Vindication of the World will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in Indian philosophy, comparative philosophy, and, more generally, epistemology, logic, and metaphysics.
