The Ethics of Gender-Specific Disease

The Ethics of Gender-Specific Disease

Our understanding of gender carries significant bioethical implications. An errant account of gender-specific disease can lead to overgeneralizations undergeneralizations and misdiagnoses. It can also lead to problems in the structure of health-care delivery the creation of policy and the development of clinical curricula. In this volume Cutter argues that gender-specific disease and related bioethical discourses are philosophically integrative. Gender-specific disease is integrative because the descriptive roles of gender disease and their relation are inextricably tied to their prescriptive roles within frames of reference. An integrative account of gender-specific disease carries ethical implications because our understanding of gender-specific disease is evaluative and our evaluations of gender-specific disease entail judgments concerning the praiseworthiness and blameworthiness of a clinical event. Cutter supports a both/and emphasis on context and integration in relation to gender-specific disease and bioethical analyses. While the text mainly focuses on gender-specific diseases that affect women Cutter also includes examples involving men children and members of the LGBT community. | The Ethics of Gender-Specific Disease

Health Transitions and the Double Disease Burden in Asia and the Pacific Histories of Responses to Non-Communicable and Communicable Diseases

Health Transitions and the Double Disease Burden in Asia and the Pacific Histories of Responses to Non-Communicable and Communicable Diseases

Chronic diseases—cardiovascular disease cancer chronic respiratory disease and diabetes—are not only the principal cause of world-wide mortality but also are now responsible for a striking increase in the percentage of sickness in developing countries still grappling with the acute problems of infectious diseases. This double disease burden poses demanding questions concerning the organisation of health care allocation of scarce resources and strategies for disease prevention control and treatment; and it threatens not only improvement in health status but economic development in the many poorer countries of the Asia Pacific region. This book presents an historical account of the development of the double disease burden in Asia and the Pacific a region which has experienced great economic social demographic and political change. With in-depth analysis of more than fifteen countries this volume examines the impact of the double disease burden on health care regimes resource allocation strategies for prevention and control on the wealthiest nations in the region as well as the smallest Pacific islands. In doing so the contributors to this book elaborate on the notion of the double disease burden as discussed by epidemiologists and present real policy responses whilst demonstrating how vital health is to economic development. Health Transitions and the Double Disease Burden in Asia and the Pacific will be of great value to both scholars and policy makers in the fields of public health the history of medicine as well as to those with a wider interest in the Asia-Pacific region. | Health Transitions and the Double Disease Burden in Asia and the Pacific Histories of Responses to Non-Communicable and Communicable Diseases

Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Originally published in 1972 there were many ‘classics’ dealing with assessment and testing on the market at the time but most of these left the inexperienced reader bewildered in the early stages because of their size and insufficient explanation of the many technical terms used. There were a distinct lack of books which gave students in Colleges of Education dealing with psychology for the first time a simple explanation of basic terms in assessment and testing and which introduced them briefly to the different types of tests available. Assessment and Testing aimed to fill this large gap. It looks at such key psychological terms as ‘sample’ ‘objectivity’ ‘subjectivity’ and such basic statistical terms such as ‘mean’ ‘standard deviation’ and ‘normal curve of distribution’. Because it assumes that the reader has no knowledge of such terms it gives careful and simply illustrated explanations of each. In the same way in simple language with any technical terms explained and illustrated it explains intelligence and personality tests questionnaires sociometric measures projection techniques and other areas of assessment and testing which every practising teacher will meet. The book aims to be essentially practical. It is appreciated all the time that the readers are those who will teach children. It is designed to provide a solid foundation upon which the reader can build later to augment his own experience of identifying children’s particular needs. | Assessment and Testing An Introduction

Tuberculosis – The Singapore Experience 1867–2018 Disease Society and the State

Through a rich account of tuberculosis in Singapore from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day this book charts the relationship between disease society and the state outlining the struggles of colonial and post-colonial governments to cope with widespread disease and to establish effective public health programmes and institutions. Beginning in the nineteenth century when British colonial administrators viewed tuberculosis as a racial problem linked to the poverty housing and insanitary habits of the Chinese working class the book goes on to examine the ambitious medical and urban improvement initiatives of the returning British colonial government after the Second World War. It then considers the continuation and growth of these schemes in the post-colonial period and explores the most recent developments which include combating the resurgence of TB and the rise of antimicrobial resistance. | Tuberculosis – The Singapore Experience 1867–2018 Disease Society and the State

Testing Fresh Expressions Identity and Transformation

Testing Fresh Expressions Identity and Transformation

Testing Fresh Expressions investigates whether fresh expressions of church really do what is claimed for them by the fresh expressions movement and in particular whether their unique approach helps to reverse trends of decline experienced by traditional churches. Part 1 examines those claims and untangles their sociological and theological assumptions. From a careful study of factors underlying attendance decline and growth Part 2 argues that long-term decline can be resisted only if churches are better able to attract children the non-churched or both. Part 3 tests the comparative ability of a group of growing parish churches and a group of fresh expressions to resist trends of decline and discovers some intriguing social dynamics common to both groups. Part 4 argues that fresh expressions do not fulfil the unique role often claimed for them but that they do have the capacity to help reinvigorate the whole church. | Testing Fresh Expressions Identity and Transformation

Monitoring the Health of Populations by Tracking Disease Outbreaks Saving Humanity from the Next Plague

Monitoring the Health of Populations by Tracking Disease Outbreaks Saving Humanity from the Next Plague

With COVID-19 sweeping across the globe with near impunity it is thwarting governments and health organizations efforts to contain it. Not since the 1918 Spanish Flu have citizens of developed countries experienced such a large-scale disease outbreak that is having devastating health and economic impacts. One reason such outbreaks are not more common has been the success of the public health community including epidemiologists and biostatisticians in identifying and then mitigating or eliminating the outbreaks. Monitoring the Health of Populations by Tracking Disease Outbreaks: Saving Humanity from the Next Plague is the story of the application of statistics for disease detection and tracking. The work of public health officials often crucially depends on statistical methods to help discern whether an outbreak may be occurring and if there is sufficient evidence of an outbreak then to locate and track it. Statisticians also help collect critical information and they analyze the resulting data to help investigators zero in on a cause for a disease. With the recent outbreaks of diseases such as swine and bird flu Ebola and now COVID-19 the role that epidemiologists and biostatisticians play is more important than ever. Features: · Discusses the crucial roles of statistics in early disease detection. · Outlines the concepts and methods of disease surveillance. · Covers surveillance techniques for communicable diseases like Zika and chronic diseases such as cancer. · Gives real world examples of disease investigations including smallpox syphilis anthrax yellow fever and microcephaly (and its relationship to the Zika virus). Via the process of identifying an outbreak finding its cause and developing a plan to prevent its reoccurrence this book tells the story of how medical and public health professionals use statistics to help mitigate the effects of disease. This book will help readers understand how statisticians and epidemiologists help combat the spread of such diseases in order to improve public health across the world. | Monitoring the Health of Populations by Tracking Disease Outbreaks Saving Humanity from the Next Plague
