Emerald Publishing Limited Body Art
Book SynopsisBody art, especially tattoos and piercings, has enjoyed an explosion of interest in recent years. However, the response of many health professionals and researchers to this phenomenon is often negative, as body art continues to be associated with issues ranging from ill mental health to offending behaviors. Arguing for a reappraisal of the diverse range of practices that fall under this heading, Brian Brown and Virginia Kuulei Berndt reconsider body art as an underappreciated yet accessible source for mental and physical wellbeing. How, they ask, does body art open up new sources of community, sociality, and aesthetics? How is it used for the reclamation of one’s body, as a marker of success or accomplishment, or for building friendships? How does participation in these practices impact the health and wellbeing of body artists themselves? Providing a radical rethink that integrates tattoos and other body modifications within health, wellbeing, and positive psychology, Body Art disrupts the narrative of stigmatisation that so often surrounds these practices to welcome a broader discussion of the benefits they can offer.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Defining the field: The multiple arts of the body Chapter 2. Body art and society Chapter 3. Body art, aesthetic communities, culture and power Chapter 4. The pleasures of decoration Chapter 5. How Can I Engage with Body Art? Chapter 6. From margin to centre: Shifting boundaries in body art Chapter 7. The health (and bodies) of body artists Chapter 8. Towards achieving the benefits of body art Chapter 9. Conclusion: The multiple arts of the body revisited

Taylor & Francis Ltd Dictionary of Policing
Book SynopsisContemporary policing is developing rapidly and is becoming increasingly professionalized. For practitioners National Occupational Standards, Skills for Justice and the the new PDLP (Police Development and Leaning Programme) have brought a new emphasis on skills, standards and knowledge. Training for police officers and civilian staff working in policing is being significantly upgraded. At the same time it has become more rigorous, with universities and other higher educational institutions playing an increasingly important part in police training - as well as expanding the range of policing courses for undergraduate and postgraduate students.Key features: approximately 300 entries (of between 500 and 1500 words) on key terms and concepts arranged alphabetically designed to meet the needs of both students and practitioners entries include summary definition, main text and key texts and sources takes full account of emerging occupational and Skills for Justice criteria edited by the UK's leading academic expert on policing and the Chief Executive of the National Policing Improvement Agency Entries contributed by leading academic and practitioners in policing Trade Review'This is the first time that the body of knowledge about Policing has been brought together in a single volume dictionary accessible to practitioner and member of public alike. It is a really welcome development.' − Paul Stephenson QPM, Deputy Commissioner, Metropolitan Police Service 'An indispensable reference for students, practitioners and leaders of modern British policing.' − Lawrence W. Sherman, Wolfson Professor of Criminology and Director, Police Executive Education, Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge'Joining a police force can be an intimidating experience for anyone. The individual and unique language of policing, with its many acronyms and a subculture all of its own, can be off-putting to the uninitiated. That is why this dictionary is so necessary; this is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in, or part of, the police. The sheer breadth of this work provides a unique set for references not only for those within the police service itself, but also - and these days, ever more importantly - for those with a wider community safety and partnership remit. With more than 200 entries contributed by both practitioners and academics, this brings together the collected expertise of people at the top of their field.It is vital in the modern police force that the leaders, and future leaders, of the police have a thorough understanding of the world we are operating in. Reference books such as this are essential in bringing together this overview, and I recommend this for anyone involved in police training or professional development.' − Sara Thornton QPM, Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police 'Tim Newburn and Peter Neyroud have gathered an impressivelist of authors, police practitioners and academics, to write the entries forthis commendably wide ranging Dictionary, which emphatically underscores the critical message that policing is about much more than the police.' − Rod Morgan, Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Bristol and formerly Chairman, Youth Justice Board for England and WalesTable of ContentsList of Entries.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Grit:
Book SynopsisThis volume provides a multi-disciplinary perspective on grit, its measurement, manifestation and development. Specifically, it provides a comprehensive and balanced response to critiques associated with the construct within the contemporary positive psychological literature. These critiques revolve around the lack of consensus in the conceptualisation, measurement, and management of grit, as well as consensus on its difference from other psychological constructs such as conscientiousness, diligence or determination. Therefore, this volume thoroughly reappraises and consolidates the nature, function, measurement and implications of grit in order to effectively advance the science of achievement. It looks at grit scales developed in various countries and evaluates the concept in various aspects of life, from work performance to sports. Written by a team of multi-disciplinary experts in fields ranging from neuroscience, sociology, and education to human resource management and psychology, this volume firmly positions grit within the discipline of positive psychology’s nomological lexicon.Table of ContentsPrefaceHow Do Grit and Gratitude Relate to Flourishing?

Springer Nature Switzerland AG An Economist’s Lessons on Happiness: Farewell
Book SynopsisOnce called the “dismal science,” economics now offers prescriptions for improving people’s happiness. In this book Richard Easterlin, the “father of happiness economics,” draws on a half-century of his own research and that conducted by fellow economists and psychologists to answer in plain language questions like: Can happiness be measured? Will more money make me happier? What about finding a partner? Getting married? Having a baby? More exercise? Does religion help? Who is happier—women or men, young or old, rich or poor? How does happiness change as we go through different stages of life? Public policy is also in the mix: Can the government increase people’s happiness? Should the government increase their happiness? Which countries are the happiest and why? Does a country need to be rich to be happy? Does economic growth improve the human lot? Some of the answers are surprising (no, more money won’t do the trick; neither will economic growth; babies are a mixed blessing!), but they are all based on reason and well-vetted evidence from the fields of economics and psychology. In closing, Easterlin traces the genesis of the ongoing “Happiness Revolution” and considers its implications for people’s lives down the road.Trade Review“The book is primarily aimed at undergraduate students in the social sciences who might be taking a first course on happiness economics. … Indeed, and more generally, the book has an informal feel. … the book is both a great personal summary of Easterlin’s accumulated experience of working with subjective wellbeing data and an important rallying call for the social sciences to generate new lessons with which to increase wellbeing across the globe.” (Caspar Kaiser, Journal of Happiness Studies, Vol. 23, 2022)“An Economist’s Lessons on Happiness reveals the results of happiness studies in clear and concise chapters which are structured as if they are a college lecture. … The students are also a tool that reveals the intended audience for the book—it is written for the popular audience rather than the expert reader. … He suggests that we live in a time in which well-being is being better articulated, understood, and prioritized than ever before.” (Robert Biswas‑Diener, Journal of Happiness Studies, April 1, 2022)“An Economist’s Lessons on Happiness is a captivating and enlightening journey through many different facets of happiness. … The concepts are well explained and easy to apply. … This book provides a satisfying, holistic perspective on the many factors contributing to happiness in an educational and personable read. This is a great opportunity to assess whether we are living a life that is true to ourselves, and to identify areas for change and improvement.” (Tara Dean, The Psychologist, thepsychologist.bps.org.uk, Vol. 34, July, 2021)“An Economist’s Lessons on Happiness: Farewell, Dismal Science! … is the fruit of a lifetime of his own research and that of fellow economists and psychologists dedicated to understanding and improving happiness — whether of individuals or nations.” (Susan Bell, dornsife.usc.edu, March 17, 2021)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Part I: First Lessons.- Measuring Happiness.- Does Money Make People Happy?.- How Does Health Affect Happiness?.- Family Life and Happiness.- How Can I Increase My Happiness?.- Part II: Next Lessons.- Can Government Increase My Happiness: Transition Countries.- Can Government Increase My Happiness: Nordic Countries.- Happiness or GDP?.- Part III: Q & A.- Who Is Happier—Young or Old?

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Value Sets for EQ-5D-5L: A Compendium,
Book SynopsisThis open access book provides an essential guide to value sets for anyone working with EQ-5D-5L data. The EQ-5D-5L is one of the most widely used health related quality of life questionnaires around the world, with applications in clinical trials, population health surveys and routine outcomes measurement. In addition to providing a concise, generic way of describing health, the EQ-5D-5L facilitates the valuation of health and health improvements through its value sets, which play a pivotal role in Health Technology Assessment across the world. Value sets for the EQ-5D-5L have been produced in a wide range of countries and regions, using a standardised international protocol developed by the EuroQol Group. This book brings together, for the first time, a comprehensive inventory of these value sets and a comparative review of their characteristics. In addition to the structured summaries of each value set, the book provides clear guidance to users and researchers on how to choose which value set to use, for what purpose. It also provides information about the methods that were used to produce these values, how these methods have been refined and how they may evolve in future. The book is the culmination of a substantial programme of work internationally. By collating these value sets into a single volume, the book aims to provide an easy-to-use resource which is likely to become a key reference source for EQ-5D-5L users and researchers.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Politics of Health Promotion: In the European
Book SynopsisMuch has been written about policy efforts to achieve ‘Health in All Policies’: an ambitious attempt to improve population health and reduce health inequalities by ensuring multiple policy areas are more attuned to their health impacts. However, most accounts focus on technical challenges, such as implementing impact assessments. In contrast, and focusing on the European Union, this book argues that ‘Health in All Policies’ is essentially a political project shaped by institutional power, competing ideas, and discourses. We can only really understand the failure to realise its ambition through political analysis. Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction.- Chapter 2: What is 'Health in All Policies'?.- Chapter 3: Where is ‘health’ in EU governance?.- Chapter 4: How can we research ‘Health in All Policies’ in the EU?.- Chapter 5: Setting the scene: Are EU institutions ‘HiAP-friendly’?.- Chapter 6: Going deeper: Is it about more than institutions?.- Chapter 7: Shifting focus: Why did ‘Health in All Policies’ still reach the EU?.- Chapter 8: Conclusion.

Rupa Publications India Pvt Ltd. SUGAR: The Silent Killer
Book SynopsisIndia has a ravenous appetite for the sweet stuff, way above any other country, if both traditional and modern sugars are counted. We also take excessive amounts of poor-quality carbohydrates, especially, refined cerealsike white rice and white wheat, sugar-sweetened drinks and fruit juice, sweet treats and savouries, which ultimately turn into glucose, a simple sugar the body uses for energy. And Indians today manifest an increased predilection for diseasesinked to sugar (and the fat with which sugar is inextricablyinked): obesity to diabetes, heart disease to hypertension, cancers to dementia, Covid-19 to black fungus. Despite aong association with sugar, there has been very few attempts to understand sugar''s hold in India. Books have been written mainly on the sugar industry, some on diabetes andow-sugar diets. Sugar: The Silent Killer attempts to fill theacunae. It attempts to demystify the way we eat now, the pre-eminence of refined sugar in our diet, what it does to us and what we can do to mitigate its malign influence. Weaving together history, culture and science, it seeks to analyse why we have such an intimate relation with sugar, why it holds on to us so doggedly, why we do can''t do without it, even when we know it can harm us.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Covid-19 Pandemic In Singapore
Book SynopsisThe National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) is the result of many years in the planning, and it finally officially opened its doors in September 2019, just months before the entire world was tested by the COVID-19 pandemic. This book is the work of many people who represent an even larger pool of people from NCID, Singapore and the rest of the world in trying to understand and contain the SARS- CoV-2 virus. There are chapters on science, the public health response both locally and globally, as well as personal reflections from NCID and Tan Tock Seng Hospital staff and staff from other public healthcare institutions who were deployed to NCID which bring home the human impact of the pandemic. We are very grateful to all the authors for taking the time to put together their thoughtful chapters as well as the senior academics and public health leaders who have provided us with generous comments on the manuscript. We hope that the readers of the book will gain a better insight into the response to the virus from so many different perspectives. Although the pandemic has evolved far beyond the pages of this book globally, the lessons learned from the early days are still relevant. We hope that the chapters will be helpful as we review our experience of this pandemic and face the next emerging infectious disease in the years to come.This book provides a comprehensive look at many different aspects of response in Singapore to the pandemic in the crucial first several months, including clinical, laboratory, epidemiology, research, community engagement and the unprecedented challenge of outbreak involving migrant workers in dormitory settings. On a personal note, it has first-hand accounts of staff at the NCID who were at the forefront of battling COVID-19 in Singapore. It also gives a global perspective of the pandemic, together with insights into the unique Singapore experience of managing the pandemic. The Singapore response to the pandemic has been something which the global community has been very interested in and this book is the first to comprehensively describe that response from a number of different angles which will be useful to scientists, clinicians, public health professionals and policy makers.

Springer Verlag, Singapore The Structure of Healthy Life Determinants: Lessons from the Japanese Aging Cohort Studies
Book SynopsisThis book is the first one to examine the cause and effect of elderly people’s healthy life expectancy, providing models that are easy to understand. The novel point is the success achieved in constructing a single structural model of cause and effect of healthy life expectancy. In the final models of the authors’ studies, it was possible to clearly point out that it is not the case that lifestyle habits including an ideal diet directly provide for healthy life expectancy.This book is made up of published studies based on scientific evidence, using a vast amount of data based on about 8,000 in-home elderly people tracked longitudinally from 3 to 6 years, three times in all including baseline research, in a specific region of Japan. Therefore, health policy makers will be able to use this book as scientific evidence for creating area programs to promote good health that are focused on healthy longevity as the central issue. Academic researchers whose special fields are mainly public health will be able to learn both theory and practice to structurally analyze cause and effect of health factors.Table of Contents1. Introduction.- 2. Population aging trend of the world.- 3. SES, physical health, and long-term care needs.- 4. SES, comorbidity, activity limitations, and healthy life expectancy.- 5.

Rather, they seek to catalogue how an entire way of life first frayed and then fell apart over the past half-century, and the cruelty of an American meritocracy that heaps lavish rewards on the winners while increasingly leaving others to rot."---Joshua Chaffin, Financial Times"A remarkable new book."---John Harris, The Guardian"Disturbing. . . . . Case and Deaton do a great job making the case that something has gone grievously wrong."---Jim Zarroli, NPR"I highly, highly recommend it."---Cardiff Garcia, NPR Planet Money’s The Indicator"[A] remarkable and poignant book."---Dani Rodrik, Project Syndicate"The system is broken and every bit of it needs fixing. This is a sobering – and essential – book."---Diane Coyle, Enlightened Economist"Why economics really matters is illustrated in Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism. . . . The authors argue that the capitalism that lifted countless people out of poverty is now destroying blue-collar America. They have solutions to make it work for all. They had better be right." * New Scientist *"[Case and Deaton] dive into and weave the data through different demographic and clinical lenses — race, gender, age, social connectedness, work history, and the most important through-line: education. Thus Case and Deaton connect the dots, literally, in the many charts that explain what factors are driving the Deaths of Despair."---Jane Sarasohn-Kahn, Health Populi Blog"The rise in premature deaths among working-class whites has become a national crisis, and the authors tie the problem to the weakening position of labor, the growing power of corporations, and to a health-care sector that redistributes working-class wages to the wealthy." * Publishers Weekly *"Although the authors completed this book before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic — it was published four days after President Trump declared a national emergency — their diagnosis is still painfully relevant."---Carlos Lozada, Washington Post"Timely and important."---Ed Balls, Financial Times"Refreshing . . . a careful, deep, and troubling look at the America that lies beyond the Ivy League."---James K. Galbraith, Project Syndicate"Case and Deaton explain how every detail of this crisis unfolded, examining recent historical events and rightly placing much of the blame on the United States’ distinctive strain of capitalism, designed to protect and grow the assets of the wealthy few."---Keri Leigh Merrit, Common Dreams"Anne Case and Angus Deaton are senior economists at Princeton with expertise in public health and poverty, respectively. The combination, plus clear writing and ample doses of caution and open-mindedness, makes Deaths of Despair a compelling book."---Edward Hadas, Reuters BreakingViews"The policies that the authors advocate not only would address deaths of despair, they would improve the health and welfare of the American people more generally."---David Canning, Science"[a] hard-hitting study of US capitalism."---Andrew Robinson, Nature"The authors add an important dimension to the growing body of research on the suffering of African Americans in the US; but their main argument is that it is the uneducated white working class that is now in “long-term and slowly unfolding” freefall."---Anne Nelson, Times Literary Supplement"Complementing their candid prose with enlightening charts and graphs, Case and Deaton make the scale and immediacy of the problem crystal clear. This is an essential portrait of America in crisis." * Publishers Weekly *"Deaths of Despair is designed to shine a light on a generational catastrophe that could—perhaps will—become a multigenerational disaster. It does this with chilling precision."---Mike Jakeman, Strategy+Business"Through simple figures and clear prose, it presents a huge bodyof evidence from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s WONDER database and other sources that the arc of the white working class’s fate over the last two decades is long, but it bends toward nihilism and an early grave."---Gabriel Rossman, Washington Examiner"Elaborately explained and well-presented. . . . Case and Deaton’s well-written and gloomy book was meant as a warning. Relentlessly fighting an infectious disease, the U.S. government seems to have treated it as a handbook."---Joakim Book, American Institute for Economic Research"Well-researched, compassionate."---Susan Babbitt, New York Journal of Books"Simply put, this is a terrific book. I suspect it will be on many people’s top 10 book lists of 2020. Although written before COVID-19, the book’s critique of the US approach to health care and inequality is remarkably prescient. In many ways, the opioid crisis Case and Deaton analyze is a microcosm of the anguish the world is experiencing today, and we would be remiss not to pay attention to their insights."---Kenneth Rogoff, Finance & Development"A must-read for anyone attempting to objectively understand our collective American pain as well as those gaining from it."---Rahul Gupta, Democracy"Important."---Michael Tomasky, Democracy"The best account of [the] White collapse."---David Ignatius, Washington Post"Well researched and incisive. . . . This is a tragic, but important book, and hopefully it helps to nudge the needle towards where badly needed social reforms need to go."---Simon Cocking, Irish Tech News"Building on Case and Deaton’s extraordinarily influential research on the mortality resulting from the tragic opioid epidemic in the United States, this book examines three causes of death – drug overdose, suicide, and alcohol-related liver disease – that have risen rapidly since the mid-1990s. It is extraordinarily well written – sweeping yet succinct. And though it was published before the COVID-19 crisis, its critique of the US approach to health care and inequality is remarkably prescient."---Ken Rogoff, Project Syndicate"I’ll offer my own endorsement from the [New York Times Notable] 100: Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism, by Anne Case and Angus Deaton. It covers arguably the single most alarming development in American life, one that helps explain the frustration pulsing through the country: In many communities, people are not living as long as their parents did."---David Leonhardt, New York Times"[A] well-argued, important book."---Rosamund Urwin, Sunday Times"Case and Deaton’s extraordinary research in this book is an important warning of the consequences this might have for people’s health and wellbeing and family and community life."---Economic Annals, Jelena Žarković
