Download or read book Evidence Based Public Health written by Ross C. Brownson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are at least three ways in which a public health program or policy may not reach stated goals for success: 1) Choosing an intervention approach whose effectiveness is not established in the scientific literature; 2) Selecting a potentially effective program or policy yet achieving only weak, incomplete implementation or "reach," thereby failing to attain objectives; 3) Conducting an inadequate or incorrect evaluation that results in a lack of generalizable knowledge on the effectiveness of a program or policy; and 4) Paying inadequate attention to adapting an intervention to the population and context of interest To enhance evidence-based practice, this book addresses all four possibilities and attempts to provide practical guidance on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings. It also begins to address a fifth, overarching need for a highly trained public health workforce. This book deals not only with finding and using scientific evidence, but also with implementation and evaluation of interventions that generate new evidence on effectiveness. Because all these topics are broad and require multi-disciplinary skills and perspectives, each chapter covers the basic issues and provides multiple examples to illustrate important concepts. In addition, each chapter provides links to the diverse literature and selected websites for readers wanting more detailed information. An indispensable volume for professionals, students, and researchers in the public health sciences and preventative medicine, this new and updated edition of Evidence-Based Public Health aims to bridge research and evidence with policies and the practice of public health.

Download or read book The Global Environment of Business written by Frederick Guy and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederick Guy's The Global Environment of Business offers a multi-dimensional analysis of the environment in which international business operates. International: How do multi-national corporations, nation states, regional trade blocs, markets, and global institutions interact to shape the international economic system? Who wins and who loses when the economy internationalizes? Is internationalization leading to a global world, or a regional one? How will efforts to curtail and adapt to climate change affect international business? Technological and historical: How has the business environment been shaped by production systems, new methods of business organization, information and communication technology, transport, and the process of technological change itself? Comparative: How do institutional differences affect national specialization and economic performance? How do the business systems of Europe differ from that of the United States, or those of East Asia from those of Latin America? Why do location and face-to-face contact matter in an age of high-speed communication and cheap long-distance transportation? Why have some countries grown so fast while others remain poor? The Global Environment of Business draws on extensive research by economists, political scientists, sociologists, geographers, and business historians. There is more theory and academic debate here than in most books on the subject, but it is presented and explained clearly, and illustrated with lots of examples.

Download or read book Manuale di diritto amministrativo written by CORSO GUIDO and published by Giappichelli. This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chi si chiedesse «che cosa è il diritto amministrativo» potrebbe partire, per ottenere una risposta, dalla propria esperienza. Ripercorrendo con la memoria le tappe fondamentali della sua vita egli sa che quando è nato, suo padre è andato a dichiararlo al municipio perché quell’evento fosse annotato nei registri dello stato civile; che a cinque anni è stato iscritto in una scuola pubblica; che al termine degli studi ha conseguito un diploma di scuola media secondaria; che grazie a quel titolo ha potuto frequentare l’università; che dopo la laurea ha dovuto superare un esame di Stato per esercitare la professione che tuttora svolge (di avvocato o di ingegnere o di medico). Se colui che si è posto la domanda ha abbandonato precocemente gli studi ed è andato a fare l’operaio, sa che il suo datore di lavoro e lui stesso versano mensilmente a un istituto di previdenza i contributi in vista della costituzione di un capitale col quale gli verrà pagata la pensione quando avrà cessato di lavorare: e li hanno versati, i contributi, perché erano obbligati a farlo. Se si è sposato, lo ha fatto in municipio davanti al sindaco o a un suo delegato che ha annotato il matrimonio, sempre sui registri dello stato civile; se si è sposato in chiesa, ciò è avvenuto davanti a un celebrante che, al termine della cerimonia, ha svolto quella stessa funzione che avrebbe svolto il sindaco se si fosse sposato in municipio. Se si è dato al commercio, ricorda di averlo potuto fare solo dopo che ha ottenuto dal Comune l’autorizzazione ad aprire bottega ed ha ricevuto da altro ufficio l’autorizzazione ad attrezzare i locali in conformità a un progetto elaborato in funzione dell’attività commerciale. Il nostro immaginario personaggio ricorda che nel corso della sua vita ha avuto diecine di incontri con uffici pubblici: incontri e spesso scontri. Come quando, dopo aver chiesto un permesso, se lo è visto negare, o quando ha ricevuto dall’ANAS la comunicazione della imminente espropriazione di un terreno di sua proprietà o quando, diciottenne, si è visto recapitare al suo indirizzo la cartolina precetto che lo chiamava alle armi. In tutti questi casi il privato ha come interlocutore un apparato pubblico, una pubblica amministrazione: un’entità con la quale entra in rapporto o perché è costretto a farlo – se non fosse autorizzato non potrebbe costruire la casa che intende realizzare sul suo terreno – o perché ha un interesse a farlo (ce l’ha, questo interesse, quando chiede un contributo sul capitale necessario ad un investimento produttivo) – o perché questo rapporto lo subisce (negli esempi fatti: l’e¬spropriazione e la chiamata alle armi). Se poi il nostro uomo domanda perché è stato costretto ad instaurare questi rapporti o perché ha dovuto subire l’iniziativa di un pubblico ufficio volta a limitare la sua libertà o la sua proprietà, si sentirà rispondere che ciò è avvenuto nell’interesse pubblico. L’interesse pubblico all’ordinato uso del territorio che subordina la facoltà di edificare ad un permesso rilasciato dal Comune; l’interesse pubblico all’apertura di una nuova strada o all’allargamento di una strada esistente che esige il sacrificio di una parte del suo terreno; l’interesse pubblico alla difesa della patria che gli ha imposto di prestare il servizio militare. Ma che cos’è questo interesse pubblico?
