"Analyzing what is known about violence against women, this book centres on the contrast between the U.S.'s historic focus on a criminal legal framework and the human rights lens used globally by feminist activists. Distilling the existing evidence base and literature on violence against women in the U.S., the book includes an overview of forms of violence, the prevalence of violence, contexts in which violence occurs, and debates about intervention and prevention. It engages with how human rights frameworks define violence against women as cause and consequence of women's inequality, and explores how race, ethnicity, class, citizenship status and sexual orientation shape experiences of victimization, perpetration, and institutional responses. Chapters synthesize prevalence methods and data, key feminist concepts, impacts and aftermath of violence, what is known about perpetrators, the history of anti-violence activism, violence against women on college campuses and in the media, and how the criminal legal systems respond. Contested issues, such as prostitution and pornography, and the extent to which commercial sex can be understood as a form of, and/or context for, violence against women, are also explored. The book closes with a final chapter offering directions for adopting a human rights approach to ending violence against women in the U.S. By offering an analysis of how violence against women has come to be named in activist, policy, and academic arenas, Violence Against Women in the US is an essential resource for students, scholars, and practitioners"--

INTRODUCTION: Iodine is an essential micronutrient and its deficiency can severely impact children's development. In 2012, the Thyroid Study Group of the Portuguese Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism discovered that the median urinary iodine concentration (mUIC) level in schoolchildren of São Miguel was far too low at 70.9 μg/L. In response, the government implemented a salt iodization program to help normalize levels. This investigation evaluated the efficacy of such an approach. METHODS: Urinary iodine concentration (UIC) was evaluated in 362 schoolchildren from São Miguel using the fast colorimetric method. RESULTS: mUIC was 106.7 μg/L, significantly higher than that observed in 2012 (p 100 μg/L versus 23.0% in 2012 (p < 0.001). 9.4% of schoolchildren had a UIC <50 μg/L, significantly lower than the 30.6% reported in 2012 (p < 0.001). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: Five years after the implementation of the government salt iodization program, the mUIC increased from 70.9 to 106.7 μg/L. This study confirms the efficacy of the adopted measures in schoolchildren population.

The implementation of inclusive education is one of the government's efforts to providing quality education for all levels of society. However, to date, inclusive education is not working correctly, students with special needs must adapt to learning tailored to their abilities, interests and talents (integration education). As a result, they can not achieve learning objectives, and the worst thing is they will stay class or drop out. A slow learner is one type of disability who received less attention because of its vagueness, so their existence is difficult to identify. IEP (Individualized Education Program) for slow learners can help them achieve progress. Index of inclusion in this research was used to determine the extent of successes of inclusive schools in implementing inclusive education, while the assessment was done to determine the capabilities and needs of the learners.[Siswa slow learner menempati populasi tertinggi untuk siswa berkebutuhan khusus. Sebagai salah satu jenis learning disability, slow learner masih dapat belajar dengan teman sebayanya asalkan guru mempersiapkan program pembelajaran khusus yang telah dimodifikasi dari pembelajaran reguler. Program ini disebut Individualized Education Program (IEP). Penelitian ini mencoba mengembangkan IEP mata pelajaran kimia untuk slow learner, mengidentifikasi komponen yang dibutuhkan dalam menyusun IEP untuk slow learner, dan menganalisis judgement reviewers (guru kimia dan guru pendamping khusus) dan peer reviewers terhadap IEP yang dikembangkan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan slow learner membutuhkan IEP sebagai dokumen utama panduan guru dalam pembelajaran kimia di kelas. Komponen pengembangan IEP meliputi identitas peserta didik, tim pengembangan dan pelaksana, asesmen yang pernah dilakukan, hambatan dan kekuatan, kebutuhan dan perlakuan, faktor pendukung dan penghambat, rencana perlakuan, dan modifikasi terhadap perangkat pembelajaran kimia reguler]

In Sweden there are several different professions that work within the welfare sector. Two of these are social pedagogues and socionoms. This article examines the similarities and differences between these professional fields by exploring four areas in more detail: education, the history of ideas and theory, research and practice. The results show that there are not only many differences but also some similarities. In practical work, social pedagogues and socionoms often work side by side and perform similar tasks. They are located in the same areas and often use the same methods. When it comes to the differences in educational history and current educations, they are large although they can also be found in, for example, the history of ideas. Furthermore, research in the various areas differs. In social pedagogy the interest has to a greater extent been focused on an understanding of the discipline through studies of the history of ideas, while in social work today one often focuses on studies of professional methods. Today's challenges in the welfare sector require new knowledge, ways of thinking and understanding. Here, social pedagogy with its philosophical roots and humanistic values can play an important role.

Mobilität im Sinne von menschlichem Transport ist eines der ältesten aber zugleich auch ambivalentesten Phänomene menschlicher Gesellschaften: Im Lauf der Geschichte wurden und werden beide, die menschliche Gesellschaft sowie die Umwelt zunehmend von Verkehrs- und Mobilitätsbezogenen Entwicklungen und Innovationen beeinflusst (bspw. Industrielle Revolution, Urbanisierung, Nationalisierung, als Instrument der politischen wie wirtschaftlichen Macht, Globalisierung, Umweltverschmutzung, Klimawandel etc.). Insbesondere Themen wie urbaner Verkehr und Landschaftsplanung werden zukünftig von bedeutender Relevanz sein, zumal ein Management des immerfort wachsenden multi-modalen Verkehrs in den gegenwärtig riesigen urbanen Zentren notwendig ist, um den drohenden Verkehrs- und Klimakollaps zu verhindern.In diesem Zusammenhang ist es umso wichtiger in der Lage zu sein, aufzuzeigen und beweisen zu können, dass ein Mobilitätsmanagement Projekt nicht nur erfolgreich war, sondern vor allem, dass diese Ergebnisse durch die Projektmaßnahmen erreicht wurden, und dass somit das investierte Geld gerechtfertigt ist. Dementsprechend wünschenswert wäre es, sich auf ein nützliches standardisiertes Verfahren oder zumindest einen europaweit-akzeptierten Evaluierungsansatz berufen zu können. Insbesondere unter der Berücksichtigung, dass die Ergebnisse eines solchen Ansatzes bzw. ein solches Programms das Vorgehen von wichtigen Entscheidungsträgern beeinflussen sowie Entscheidungen der städtischen Verkehrspolitik in einem großen Rahmen unterstützen können (z.B. Förderung von Arbeitsweg-Mobilitätsplänen etc.). Das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit ist daher, die Demonstration, wie eine Evaluation von Mobilitätsmanagement-Maßnahmen und Mobilitätsplänen in einem standardisierten Ansatz innerhalb von Europa, durch die Anwendung des ?MaxEva-Monitoring and Evaluation Tools? (entwickelt 2009 im Rahmen des großen Mobilitätsmanagementprojekts MAX) funktionieren kann. ; Mobility in the sense of human transport is one of the most enduring and at the same time most ambivalent phenomena of human societies: Both, natural environment and the society have always been influenced by transportation and mobility-related improvements and developments in the course of history (e.g. industrial revolution, urbanization, nationalization, indicator or instrument of political power, mass tourism, globalization, environmental destruction and pollution, climate change etc.). Especially issues like urban transport and land-use planning will be of particular relevance in future, cause multi-modal mobility in current huge urban centres needs to be managed, in order to avoid chaos and collapse (of both human and environment system). In this context it is of great importance to be in the position to prove and to demonstrate that a project was successful as well as be able to explain that these effects were achieved by the implementations and especially to justify the invested money. Therefore a useful standardized application method or at least European-wide objective evaluation approach is preferable. In particular by considering that such a tool and its results could contribute decisions on urban transport policy to a large extend (e.g. promotion of workplace travel plans, identifying potentials for shared spaces or traffic calmed areas?). Nevertheless there exists neither a standardized method or objective evaluation, nor any corresponding evaluation tool within Europe. In this sense, the main aim of this thesis is the demonstration of how an evaluation of mobility management and mobility plans can be conducted in a standardized way within Europe by the application of MaxEva-Monitoring and Evaluation program (developed in the frame of the huge mobility management project MAX in 2009). In this course MaxEva has been further developed or rather improved to increase usability and mode of operation. ; vorgelegt von Moritz Kammerlander ; Abweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des Verfassers ; Zsfassung in dt. und engl.

"This volume provides the first authoritative explication of metatheoretical principles in the construction and evaluation of social-psychological theories. Leading international authorities review the conceptual foundations of the field's most influential approaches, scrutinizing the range and limits of theories in various areas of inquiry. The chapters describe basic principles of logical inference, illustrate common fallacies in theoretical interpretations of empirical findings, and outline the unique contributions of different levels of analysis. An in-depth look at the philosophical foundations of theorizing in social psychology, the book will be of interest to any scholar or student interested in scientific explanations of social behavior."--

The project of the industrial modern city comprises many heterogeneous paths and stories, in particular those regarding the CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne) Functional City. They all come together in a discourse that links the architectural form to positive urban and social transformations. Such a discourse was interpreted from two different perspectives: The first hypothesized the need for political change starting from the collectivization of land ownership as stressed in the declaration of CIAM at La Sarraz in 1928, whereas the second theorised the capacity of new architecture to improve living conditions irrespective of the political context as supported by Le Corbusier. Starting from these premises, the present commentary proposes a fresh perspective on the functional city project, where the research on the minimization of effort contributed to a different definition of work from the Marxist one and in the modern sense. Therefore, the design and the space of the Existenzminimum blatantly contributes to the construction of a new routine, inspired by minimum effort, with the creation of a new effort–relaxation–rest rhythm and repetition.

Social innovation is defined by novelty and improvement. This definition requires social work practice to be more effective or efficient than preexisting alternatives. Practice innovation is accomplished by leveraging technical, social, and economic factors to generate novel interventions, diffusion or adoption of the interventions into broader use, and identification of the value created by the new approaches or processes. Innovation in social work practice is fundamentally hindered by the foundational trifecta on which the profession is built: (a) the structure of social work education, (b) diffusely focused professional organizations, and (c) siloed professional environments. This article explores the elements of social work education, professional organizations, and practice environments that impede innovation and offers recommendations for changes in each sector that can facilitate innovation.
