Download or read book Long Term Care in Europe written by Ulrich Becker and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview on the long-term care systems in 12 EU member states and Norway. Focusing on the legal background and its main principles, it includes a comparative analysis which highlights the principal dissimilarities between European long term care benefits, but at the same time also a variety of features in common. It also discusses the increasingly transnational dimension of long-term as a result of migrants returning to their country of origin in old age, and the still-unsolved legal problem of entitlement to long-term care benefits in another EU-member state.

Book excerpt: Working people are taking back their time and technological know-how from the deadening jobs in small, under-the-radar ways, making life better right now. They reclaim the streets at Critical Mass cycle rides; they reclaim the urban landscape with guerrilla gardening and make common cause in virtual worlds with networks, freeware and hacking. This is a discourse on work, on what we do to make it bearable and the creativity of all those people who subvert the normal order of things. The DIY future is now.

Download or read book Urban Transport XXI written by C.A. Brebbia and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Transport XXI contains the proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment. The series of annual conferences organised by the Wessex Institute was first held in 1995. Transportation in urban areas, with its related environmental and social impacts, is a topic of significant concern for policymakers in both municipal and central government and for the urban citizens who need effective and efficient transport systems. Urban transport systems require considerable studies to devise and then safeguard their operational use, maintenance and safety. Transportation systems produce significant environmental impacts and can enhance or degrade the quality of life in urban centres. Clearly the challenge of providing effective and efficient transport systems in urban settings remains an acute concern, with financial, political and environmental constraints limiting the ability of transport system planners and operators to deliver the high quality outcomes expected by the public. Papers cover such topics as: Urban Transport Planning and Management; Urban Transport Strategies; Public Transport Systems; Environmental Aspects; Economic and Social Impact; Safety and Security; Travel Behaviour Studies; Customer Satisfaction; Transportation Modelling and Simulation; Infrastructure Development; Intelligent and Advanced Transport Systems; Transportation Integration; City Logistics; Resilience and Inter-modal Transport Systems; Mass Transport Strategies; Social Impacts; Freight Transport; Railway Systems; Transport Governance and Administration; Port and City; Mobility and Public Space; Life Cycle Management.

Book excerpt: Progettare la sicurezza del cantiere questo è l’obiettivo dell’opera giunta ormai alla settima edizione. Il volume, caratterizzato da un taglio tecnico e da un elevato livello di approfondimento degli argomenti trattati, ha già riscosso un notevole successo nel passato da parte degli addetti ai lavori. Questa edizione è stata integralmente revisionata alla luce sia delle evoluzioni delle tecniche prevenzionistiche che dalla legislazione. L’opera è stata arricchita da diversi argomenti. La prima parte del volume è dedicata alla spiegazione del modello prevenzionistico da attuare nei cosiddetti cantieri temporanei o mobili, derivato dalla Direttiva 91/57/CEE. La seconda parte affronta il tema dell’organizzazione del cantiere e lo sviluppa con un taglio tipicamente progettuale. La terza e quarta parte sono dedicate rispettivamente agli apprestamenti di cantiere e alle attrezzature di lavoro. Nella quinta parte, infine, sono riportate originali sintesi degli interpelli sino ad oggi emessi dall’apposita Commissione per dirimere questioni di dubbia interpretazione della legislazione di salute e sicurezza relativa ai cantieri. Il volume è arricchito da centinaia di tabelle, elaborati grafici, immagini, utili a facilitare l’esposizione degli argomenti sviluppati. Un testo base per la formazione dei coordinatori per la sicurezza ma altrettanto valido per i consulenti della sicurezza e per i datori di lavoro, dirigenti e preposti delle imprese e per tutti coloro che si occupano della sicurezza dei cantieri.

Download or read book Good Science written by Charis Thompson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of a decade and a half of political controversy, ethical debate, and scientific progress in stem cell research. After a decade and a half, human pluripotent stem cell research has been normalized. There may be no consensus on the status of the embryo—only a tacit agreement to disagree—but the debate now takes place in a context in which human stem cell research and related technologies already exist. In this book, Charis Thompson investigates the evolution of the controversy over human pluripotent stem cell research in the United States and proposes a new ethical approach for “good science.” Thompson traces political, ethical, and scientific developments that came together in what she characterizes as a “procurial” framing of innovation, based on concern with procurement of pluripotent cells and cell lines, a pro-cures mandate, and a proliferation of bio-curatorial practices. Thompson describes what she calls the “ethical choreography” that allowed research to go on as the controversy continued. The intense ethical attention led to some important discoveries as scientists attempted to “invent around” ethical roadblocks. Some ethical concerns were highly legible; but others were hard to raise in the dominant procurial framing that allowed government funding for the practice of stem cell research to proceed despite controversy. Thompson broadens the debate to include such related topics as animal and human research subjecthood and altruism. Looking at fifteen years of stem cell debate and discoveries, Thompson argues that good science and good ethics are mutually reinforcing, rather than antithetical, in contemporary biomedicine.
