United Nations State of the world's midwifery 2021: building a
Book SynopsisSexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn and adolescent health (SRMNAH) is an essential component of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite a steady drop in maternal and newborn deaths since 1990, hundreds of thousands of women and newborns around the world continue to die each year during pregnancy and childbirth: an estimated 289,000 women and about 3 million newborn babies died in 2013 alone. The vast majority of loss of life is due to complications and illnesses that could be prevented with proper antenatal care and the presence of a skilled midwife during delivery. In recognition of the need to improve such realities and overall SRMNAH, this publication focuses on the availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of midwifery services and the pivotal role midwifes play within the wider SRMNAH workforce

Springer Verlag, Singapore Revisiting National Security: Prospecting
Book SynopsisThis book examines the evolving concept of national security and how human systems could be governed in an ever turbulent and dynamic world. It takes a revised look at the concept of national security, previously researched and identified by the author, based on the present context but with a futuristic appreciation of governance, primarily national but extended to global perspectives, in the modern and dynamically shifting world. The book emphasises the need for governments to maximise national security for the well-being of their people. The concept of national security is taken as the key subject of national governance which is extendable to global governance wherein national security is not only the physical or military security alone but also the overall well-being of the people of a nation. This book explores how national security can be achieved by balancing its various elements in different terrains where the game of governance is played in national as well as global perspective. It also presents additional findings and observations to show that the approach is transformative, redefining the key knowledge paradigms. This book is relevant for policy makers, students, researchers and academics who wish to explore and rethink their approach towards governing the human systems, whose well-being is the responsibility of governments.Table of ContentsPart I In Quest of National Security: World of Sapiens.- 1.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Service-Learning Capacity Enhancement in Hong
Book Synopsis This book provides an in-depth, multi-faceted look into capacity building for service-learning, using the case of the higher education landscape in Hong Kong. Service-learning has been proven to be an effective pedagogy for the holistic development of students, as well as promotion of their well-being. It also attempts to promote the well-being of the service recipients and the community. While service-learning is becoming increasingly popular in many higher educational institutions around the world, the learning gains that can be attained from service-learning are only as good as the learning experience allows, and poorly-developed or motivated service-learning may potentially do adverse harm to students and the community. This book reinforces the imperative to enhance the capacity of the institution, teachers, students and community partners by exploring a diverse range of methods for achieving capacity building among different stakeholders. Examples of the methods explored include formal course-based professional development, scale development, action research, and communities of practice. Furthermore, the book includes a series of detailed, qualitative case studies that are aimed at embodying good practice, unpacking “what matters” from service-learning. Aa a useful resource for scholars and educators who are passionate about holistic youth leadership development, this book is also relevant to researchers in the intersection between well-being and higher education.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- What matter in a quality service-learning course: A study on faculty members’ perception.- Faculty perceived impacts of the support from a centralized service-learning office.- Assessing Students in Academic Service-Learning: Faculty Experiences and Challenges.- How Hong Kong University Teachers Assess Students in Service-Learning: An Exploratory Study.- Promotion of teachers’ readiness for service-learning through a professional development course.- Conceptual Framework for Key Process Ingredients Salient for Effective Service-Learning.- Validating an Instrument for Measuring the Developmental Outcomes for Students Arising from Service-Learning.- Investigating Service-Learning Impacts on University Students’ Developmental Outcomes through a Control Group Study.- Service-Learning in the context of Business-Community-University Partnership: The Project WeCan in Hong Kong.- The impact of E-service-learning on Tui-na teaching in a Chinese Medicine course – from the perspectives of service-recipients and service-partner.- Action Research as a tool for faculty development in Service-Learning: The impact of action research on faculty's knowledge, skills and attitudes towards Service-Learning.- The Developmental Impacts of Interdisciplinary and Inter-institutional Service-Learning Collaboration.- Co-designing with people with special needs: An analysis from Contact Theory.- From industrial fermentation to life planning: The meaning of meaningful service in a biology service-learning course.- Assessing Community Impact after Service-Learning: A Conceptual Framework.- Promotion of Service-Learning in Hong Kong: Experiences Surrounding Collaboration among Higher Education Institutions.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Typology of Asian Societies: Bottom-Up
Book SynopsisThis book is about generating types of societies by the degree of individuals’ satisfaction with life domains, aspects, and styles via factor analysis. It adopts an evidence-based approach in typologizing and a bottom-up rather than a top-down perspective. Thus, the book’s position is against Hegel (freedom for one person), Marx (the Asiatic mode of production), Weber (Protestant ethics and the spirit of capitalism), Wittfogel (Asiatic autocracy), and Rostow (Western-led modernization). These classical and modern authors tend to see Asian societies with somewhat fixated eyes and categorize Asian societies in a top-down manner.When random-sampled respondents are questioned about their satisfaction with daily life in terms of life domains, aspects, and styles, public policy and institutions as well as survival and social relations are inevitably touched upon—the latter two being the key dimensions common to the World Values Survey and other cultural surveys. This book proposes a new mode of typologizing societies, Asian or non-Asian, not immediately familiar to human geographers, cultural anthropologists, or sociologists, but revealing many complex unknowns with the easy-to-learn typologizing method.Table of ContentsThe Need for a Bottom-Up Perspective about Asian Societies.- The Need for an Evidence-Based Approach to Asian Societies.- Two Methodological Issues.- Attending Holistically and Analytically.- Are Asian Societies One Type.- Choosing Indicators and Typologizing of Societies.- Factor Analysis Results.- Twenty-Nine Types of Asian Societies.- Strength and Weakness of the Proposed Typology.- Corroborative Analysis and Empirical Validation.- Conclusion.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Spirituality, Mental Health and Quality of Life:
Book Synopsis This book is about spiritual intelligence and its effects on mental health and quality of life. As mental health and related problems are increasing rapidly and have become a matter of great concern, there has not been a unanimous and empirical approach to assess and cure it, due to its divergence or other causes. This book is based on the most developed construct: spiritual intelligence and its effects on mental health and quality of life. Spirituality and its other constructs are one of the most interesting topics nowadays in the area of positive/indigenous/transpersonal psychology and among social/behavioral scientists. This book provides content on spirituality, spiritual intelligence, mental health, and quality of life. The book also attempts to review related literature (whether review or empirical), to have a look at past and current scenarios on spirituality and mental health and quality of life research. Through an exploration of Indian indigenous psychology, this book provides a look at mental health and the mind from an Indian psychological perspective and examines Indian psychology, taking into consideration modern psychological concepts.Table of ContentsChapter 1INTRODUCTION ............................................................................. 0-00 References.................................................................................

Taylor & Francis An Introduction to the Geography of Health
Book SynopsisIn the second edition of An Introduction to the Geography of Health, Helen Hazen and Peter Anthamatten explore the ways in which geographic ideas and approaches can inform our understanding of health. The bookâs focus on a broad range of physical and social factors that drive health in places and spaces offers students and scholars an important holistic perspective on the study of health in the modern era.In this edition, the authors have restructured the book to emphasize the theoretical significance of ecological and social approaches to health. Spatial methods are now reinforced throughout the book, and other qualitative and quantitative methods are discussed in greater depth. Data and examples are used extensively to illustrate key points and have been updated throughout, including several new extended case studies such as water contamination in Flint, Michigan; microplastics pollution; West Africaâs Ebola crisis; and the Zika epidemic. The book contains more than Trade Review"This marvelous new edition of An Introduction to the Geography of Health is nothing less than a field guide to the world through the lens of health and medical geography. As human geographers, Hazen and Anthamatten grapple with the diversity of global societies, the complex drivers of inequalities in health, and the intricate ecologies of health and disease. The new edition is updated with valuable discussion of climate change and health, the 2014 Ebola fever epidemic in West Africa, the Flint water crisis, and the US opioid epidemic, while also incorporating advances in theory and method in the field of health and medical geography. Drawing on success stories from New Zealand, Costa Rica, and dozens of other countries, the book explains how a geographic sensibility—based on the careful appraisal of, and adaptation to, local social and environmental conditions—can lead to effective and equitable health policy. The inviting and highly readable text is accompanied by over 100 illustrations, including photographs, well-designed maps, and helpful diagrams and charts, many in color. In all, the book makes for an excellent companion to an undergraduate course in health and medical geography, a useful reference source, and an outstanding survey of public health issues all around the world." - Eric Carter, Edens Associate Professor of Geography and Global Health, Macalester College, USA"I am so delighted with the updated edition of Hazen and Anthamatten’s ‘An Introduction to the Geography of Health’, given the addition of new material reflective of both new and emerging events, such as the Zika virus and mental health patterns, respectively. I continue to use this text in my courses for three reasons: the breadth of contemporary applied material representative of the sub-discipline, the international coverage, and the range of current methodological approaches employed. I look forward to hearing positive student feedback on this new edition!" - Allison Williams, Professor & Research Chair, McMaster University, Hamilton, CanadaTable of Contents1 Introduction Section I Ecological Approaches to Human Health Introduction: Ecological Approaches to Human Health 2 Ecological Approaches to Human Health 3 Population-scale Processes: Demographic Change and the Evolution of Pathogens and Vectors 4 Environmental Change and Emerging Infectious Diseases 5 Environmental Exposures 6 Cartography and Geospatial Science in Health Section II Social Approaches to Health and Healthcare Introduction: Social Approaches to Health and Healthcare 7 Socioeconomic Environments 8 Culture and Identity 9 Power and Politics of Health 10 Geographies of Healthcare 11 Integrating Approaches to the Study of the Geography of Health: Policymaking from Geographic Perspectives Glossary Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd The End of Physiotherapy
Book SynopsisPhysiotherapy is arriving at a critical point in its history. Since World War I, physiotherapy has been one of the largest allied health professions and the established provider of orthodox physical rehabilitation. But ageing populations of increasingly chronically ill people, a growing scepticism towards biomedicine and the changing economy of healthcare threaten physiotherapy's long-held status. Paradoxically, physiotherapy's affinity for treating the body-as-machine' has resulted in an almost complete inability to identify the roots of the profession's present problems, or define possible ways forward. Physiotherapists need to engage in critically informed theoretical discussion about the profession's past, present and future - to explore their practice from economic, philosophical, political and sociological perspectives.The End of Physiotherapy aims to explain how physiotherapy has arrived at this critical point in its history, and to point to a new fuTable of ContentsPART I 1 Introduction; 2 Physical therapies before 1894; 3 The quest for legitimacy (1894–1914); 4 The pursuit of orthodoxy (1914–1973); 5 Physiotherapy under neoliberalism (1973–present); PART II; 6 The body; 7 Posture and movement; 8 Function and rehabilitation; PART III; 9 Implications for education, practice, regulation and research; 10 The end of physiotherapy; Epilogue: Methodology.
