Sturm-Liouville Problems Theory and Numerical Implementation

Sturm-Liouville Problems Theory and Numerical Implementation

Sturm-Liouville problems arise naturally in solving technical problems in engineering physics and more recently in biology and the social sciences. These problems lead to eigenvalue problems for ordinary and partial differential equations. Sturm-Liouville Problems: Theory and Numerical Implementation addresses in a unified way the key issues that must be faced in science and engineering applications when separation of variables variational methods or other considerations lead to Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems and boundary value problems. | Sturm-Liouville Problems Theory and Numerical Implementation

Responding to Drinking Problems

Responding to Drinking Problems

In the 1970s family doctors social workers researchers and administrators had been aware of the inadequacy of the response to drinking problems for some time. However there had been no systematic examination of why such agents felt negatively about drinkers and disinclined to respond to them. Originally published in 1978 this book develops a radical new perspective on the prevalence and causes of drinking problems combining reviews of historical and contemporary literature with the authors’ own research studies. This perspective is then linked to the need for an integrated response from both medical and social services with a particular accent on the need for a community response. By focusing on the relationship between helper and helped a solution is sought to the question which has troubled the field for many years: why are agents like family doctors and social workers so inadequate in recognising and responding to people with drinking problems? The crucial aspects within the therapeutic relationship are pinpointed and experimental studies are described which show how training casework supervision and the redeployment of expertise can help improve recognition rates and responses to individual drinkers. This book thus expresses the need for major changes both in our attitudes and understanding of people with drinking problems and the difficulties of agents who try to help them. It should still be of historical interest to social scientists and those involved in helping people with drinking problems. | Responding to Drinking Problems

Alcohol Problems and Alcohol Control in Europe

Alcohol Problems and Alcohol Control in Europe

The nature of alcohol problems is very diverse and the strategies adopted for minimising these vary even more. Thinking in the study of alcohol problems in the 1970s and early 1980s had focused on the public health perspective seeking not only to lessen alcohol problems by controlling the availability of alcohol but also to promote moderate drinking practices and to preserve the positive advantages of alcohol use. Originally published in 1983 a detailed review of public health issues in this field at the time opens the book. This is followed by an examination of alcohol-related problems and policies for their control in sixteen different European countries. The chapters on individual countries provide a source of information and data on alcohol policies consumption and problems with which it is possible to examine from a cross-cultural and comparative basis the claims of a public health perspective. The final chapter draws together the cross-national data and discusses their implications for a public health response to alcohol problems. This book should now be a historical reference source for all interested in health policy in general and alcohol problems in particular. | Alcohol Problems and Alcohol Control in Europe

Alcohol Problems in Employment

Alcohol Problems in Employment

The majority of problem-drinkers are not unemployed derelicts but are employed persons often with senior positions in commerce the professions and industry. Furthermore it is well-known that alcohol causes widespread absenteeism inefficiency and accidents at work. Originally published in 1981 Alcohol Problems in Employment reviews the evidence relating to the general effects of alcohol misuse on employment and the special problems involved in certain ‘high-risk’ industries at the time. A number of international case studies are then presented to illustrate what was being done to counter the problem.

Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

This book examines a diverse range of community food initiatives in light of their everyday practices innovations and contestations. While community food initiatives aim to tackle issues like food security food waste or food poverty it is a cause for concern for many when they are framed as the next big solution to the problems of the current industrialised food system. They have been critiqued for being too neoliberal elitist and localist; for not challenging structural inequalities (e. g. racism privilege exclusion colonialism capitalism); and for reproducing these inequalities within their own contexts. This edited volume examines the everyday realities of community food initiatives focusing on both their hopes and their troubles their limitations and failures but also their best intentions missions and models alongside their capacity to create hope in difficult times. The stories presented in this book are grounded in contemporary theoretical debates on neoliberalism diverse economies food justice community and inclusion and social innovation and help to sharpen these as conceptual tools for interrogating community food initiatives as sites of both hope and trouble. The novelty of this volume is its focus on the everyday doings of these initiatives in particular places and contexts with different constraints and opportunities. This grounded relational and place-based approach allows us to move beyond more traditional framings in which community food initiatives are either applauded for their potential or criticized for their limitations. It enables researchers and practitioners to explore how community food initiatives can realize their potential for creating alternative food futures and generates innovative pathways for theorising the mutual interplay of food production and consumption. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of critical food studies food security public health and nutrition as well as human geographers sociologists and anthropologists with an interest in food. | Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach
