Book Description
This report from the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) in collaboration with WHO covers the activities and outputs of the CIOMS/WHO Working Group on Vaccine Pharmacovigilance (2005-2010). This working group brought together experts from both industrialized and emerging countries representing regulatory agencies, vaccine industry, national and international public health bodies including WHO and CIOMS, academia and clinical care, contributing from their different perspectives. The report covers general terms and definitions for vaccine safety and discusses the application of such harmonized tools in vaccine safety surveillance and studies. As well, the report highlights case definitions for adverse events typically reported for vaccines. The report is addressed to those engaged in vaccine safety data collection and evaluation, and will also make a useful reading for others who want to familiarize themselves with vaccine safety terminology.

Book Description
Un nuevo volumen se une al Manual de Terapia Familiar Sistémica de la Escuela Vasco-Navarra de TF. Tras los dedicados a la Formación Básica, y al Experto en Intervenciones Sistémicas, llega el que ocupa el tercer año de nuestra escuela, dedicado a la formación avanzada del Psicoterapeuta Familiar y de Pareja. Se trata del final lógico de la formación, su nivel más elevado, pero también de un regreso a los orígenes, porque en el origen de la TF está la Clínica. La TF nació y creció con unos objetivos claros: tratar de resolver, de atenuar al menos, los trastornos psicopatológicos, comenzando por el más grave de todos ellos: la psicosis esquizofrénica. Es cierto que hubo otros puntos de partida, especialmente en lo relacionado con la psicopatología infantil y adolescente, pero todos ellos partían de la práctica clínica. Después, como ya sabemos y podemos leer en el segundo tomo, se abrieron los caminos del campo sociosanitario, pero sin descuidar nunca el ámbito clínico: trabajo con los trastornos mentales graves, las adicciones, los TCA, las neurosis, el duelo o la TF con niños y adolescentes. Pronto los conflictos de la pareja y sus consecuencias adquirieron autonomía propia, creando un conjunto de teorías y prácticas adaptadas a estas dificultades relacionales, hasta el punto de que los terapeutas familiares pronto adquirieron la coletilla de "y de pareja". Costó más el trabajo con los individuos, pero había que adaptarse a la demanda, por lo que comenzaron a formularse propuestas de trabajo sistémico relacional con aquellos que, por diversas razones no querían incluirla a su familia en su proceso psicoterapéutico. Así nació la Terapia Individual Sistémica. Como los anteriores volúmenes, y siguiendo los programas de formación de la EVNTF, el texto se divide en 2 Bloques, incluyendo cada uno varios capítulos. El 1o es el dedicado a la TF en la práctica clínica. El 2o comienza con la TF en la Infancia y Adolescencia, sigue con el amplio campo de la T. de Pareja, la T.I.S., continúa con las indispensables Técnicas Activas, para finalizar con la Evaluación. Como sucede con los 2 primeros tomos, los autores de este 3o son docentes de la EVNTF, en la modalidad presencial u online. Así, aunque cambien en cada capítulo, hay una coherencia en el enfoque de la docencia. Esta diversidad y especialidad buscada para cada tema, vinculada a la experiencia formativa y a la práctica clínica, es una marca de contexto que ha mantenido desde su origen la EVNTF, buscando a los mejores profesores en cada una de las materias de nuestro programa, pero manteniendo simultáneamente una homogeneidad docente. En definitiva, un gran volumen que se añade de manera admirable al Manual de TF Sistémica de la EVNTF y que, como los anteriores, puede leerse de manera independiente. Que lo disfruten.

Book Description
Radical movements for social change are not immune to sexual assault and gendered violence. This landmark collection brings together two dozen voices, as fearless as they are compassionate, to challenge the intimate forms of oppression that surround us. The Revolution Starts at Home began as a popular zine when published in its complete form by South End Press (2011). With South End's closing, it went out of print before it could reach its audience - just as its relevance was becoming clear. This facsimile reprint edition will breathe new life into this important project.

Book Description
Associated with both acute kidney injury (AKI) and cardio-renal syndromes (CRS), new biomarkers represent both a popular area of investigation and a new opportunity for advancement of therapy. This book contains the resolutions of the most recent ADQI conferences on biomarkers in AKI (Dublin) and on cardio-renal syndromes (Venice). The first part answers specific questions about new biomarkers and their use and utility in AKI: What are the most suitable candidate molecules and physiologic measures, how solid and evidence based is the discovery phase? How can we incorporate the new biomarkers in the AKI conceptual model describing the evolution from susceptibility to insult, decreased GFR and organ death? Even if we have a positive biomarker pattern and we can identify patients at risk or patients with early or even subclinical AKI, how is this information affecting our clinical behavior and practice? The second part is dedicated to the appraisal of the current knowledge about the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in different forms of CRS: it contains contributions on the state-of-the-art knowledge and practice of CRS, particularly focusing on the pathophysiology of the five subtypes. Acute and chronic mechanisms of damage are explored in depth, with particular attention to the primacy of organ involvement and the subsequent pathways of organ crosstalk.Presenting the most recent research in the field of biomarkers, AKI and CRS, this publication is an important educational tool for advanced investigators and clinical experts, but also for students and fellows.

Book Description
This groundbreaking first volume of the Series has a number of features that set it apart from other books on this subject: Firstly, it focuses on interpersonal, humanistic and ecological views and approaches to P/MH nursing. Secondly, it highlights patient/client-centered approaches and mental-health-service user involvement. Lastly, it is a genuinely European P/MH nursing textbook – the first of its kind – largely written by mental health scholars from Europe, although it also includes contributions from North America and Australia/New Zealand. Focusing on clinical/practical issues, theory and empirical findings, it adopts an evidence-based or evidence-informed approach. Each contribution presents the state-of-the-art of P/MH nursing in Europe so that it can be transferred to and implemented by P/MH nurses and the broader mental health care community around the globe. As such, it will be the first genuinely 21st century European Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing book.

Book Description
This annual edition presents the most recent statistics since 1990 of over 80 health indicators for WHO's 193 Member States. This fourth edition includes an expanded set of over 76 key indicators and a section with 10 highlights in global health statistics in the past year. This book has been collated from publications and databases of WHO's technical programmes and regional offices. The core set of indicators was selected on the basis of relevance for global health, availability and quality of data, and accuracy and comparability of estimates. The statistics for the indicators are based on an interactive process of data collection, compilation, quality assessment, and estimation between WHO technical programmes and its Member States. In this process, WHO strives to maximize accessibility, accuracy, comparability, and transparency of country health statistics. In addition to national statistics, this publication presents statistics on the inequalities in health outcomes and interventions coverage within countries, disaggregated by urban/rural setting, wealth/assets, and educational level. Such statistics are primarily derived from the analysis of household surveys and are only available for a limited number of countries.

Book Description
An international team of leading scholars and young researchers in environmental psychology offers a relatively new perspective on the origin and solutions of the current environmental crisis. They explain how human nature has played a prominent role in the emergence of ecological problems such as global warming, threats to biodiversity, resources scarcity and pollution. But also, they demonstrate that such problems are interlinked with social problems such as poverty, famine, social and economical inequities and violence. According to this books authors, psychological theories and empirical evidence show that the solutions for those socio-ecological problems are to be found in human nature and its psychological predispositions. These include personal motives, world-visions, future perspective, environmental emotions, altruistic tendencies and behavioural capacities among other psychological predispositions that could allow the adoption of sustainable lifestyles. Meeting the ideals of sustainability requires the participation of the natural and social sciences, including psychology, in order to guarantee the fulfilment of its purposes.Behavioural sciences study the psychological characteristics and the contextual factors that lead people to adopt more sustainable lifestyles. In addition, these sciences investigate how sustainable behaviours promote happiness, psychological well being and restoration, which are considered among the aims of sustainable development by governments throughout the world. The authors, who are recognised experts in these areas, offer a state-of-the-art review and data on what it is known regarding the psychological dimensions of the environmental crisis, its behavioural solutions and the repercussions of sustainable behaviour on human well-being.

Book Description
Can human social evolution be described in terms common to other sciences, most specifically, as an energy process? The Eighth Day reflects a conviction that the human trajectory, for all its uniqueness and indeterminism, will never be satisfactorily understood until it is framed in dynamics that are common to all of nature. The problem in doing this, however, lies in ourselves. The major social theories have failed to treat human social evolution as a component of broader natural processes. The Eighth Day argues that the energy process provides a basis for explaining, comparing, and measuring complex social evolution. Using traditional ecological energy flow studies as background, society is conceived as a self-organization of energy. This perspective enables Adams to analyze society in term of the natural selection of self-organizing energy forms and the trigger processes basic to it. Domestication, civilization, socioeconomic development, and the regulation of contemporary industrial nation-states serve to illustrate the approach. A principal aim is to explore the limitation that energy process imposes on human social evolution as well as to clarify the alternatives that it allows. Richly informed by contemporary anthropological historicism, sociobiology, and Marxism, The Eighth Day avoids simple reductionism and denies facile ideological categorization. Adams builds on work in nonequilibrium thermodynamics and theoretical biology and brings three decades of his own work to an analysis of human society that demands an extreme materialism in which human thought and action find a central place.
