Government Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Government Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Olga Shvetsova
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 263 Pages | ISBN : 3031308433 | 14.3 MB

This book examines how governments around the world responded to the health emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Before vaccines became available, non-medical interventions were the main means to protect the public. Non-medical interventions were put in place by governments as public health policies. In every nation, politicians and governments faced a choice situation, and worldwide, they made different choices. Public health policies came at a price, in economic, social, and ultimately electoral costs to the political incumbents. The book discusses differences in governments’ policy efforts to mitigate the virus spread. The authors conduct in-depth analysis of country-cases from Africa, North and South America, Asia, and Europe. They also offer small-n- comparative analyses as well as report global patterns and trends of governments’ responsiveness to the medical emergency. It will appeal to all those interested in public policy, health policy and governance.

Stress Relief Urban Planning

Stress Relief Urban Planning by Samaneh Jalilisadrabad , Mostafa Behzadfar , Khatereh Moghani Rahimi
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 205 Pages | ISBN : 9819942012 | 14.3 MB

Living in urban areas has long been recognized as a risk factor for mental illness despite the advantages of cities over villages. The impact of urbanization on mental health and stress is significant and is likely to increase over the next few years. Thus, considering the stress difference in the world cities and its increase, urban planners, urban managers, and urban designers should urgently consider it an essential principle in their plans and designs to reduce its side effects.
This book is a comprehensive guide for urban planners who seek to reduce urban stress in the urban environment but lack proper training and texts. Urban designers will have a unified vision to reduce urban stress caused by the appearance of the city environment. It will be useful for city managers and policymakers since this book identifies urban policies which reduce urban stress and stressful urban factors. Also, it will help urban psychologists, sociologists, architects, and social science researchers to better understand the relationship between their field and stress relief urban planning.

Organizational Ethics and Moral Integrity in Secular Societies: The Ethics of Bureaucracies

Organizational Ethics and Moral Integrity in Secular Societies: The Ethics of Bureaucracies

Organizational Ethics and Moral Integrity in Secular Societies: The Ethics of Bureaucracies by Kevin Wm Wildes, S.J.
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 277 Pages | ISBN : 3031390962 | 2.5 MB

This book explores an undeveloped area in postmodern thought: organizational ethics. Ethical debates and analyses usually focus on a particular act or action, an actor, and/or how a secular society should address any of those particular persons or events. In the Post Modern age, ethical decisions and policies are characterized by moral and cultural pluralism. However, there is a second factor that complicates ethical and policy decisions even further. This book argues that in the postmodern age ethical decisions often need to be understood as part of the decision making of organizations and bureaucracies. Organizational decisions often have direct bearing on the choices made by individuals. Two areas that exemplify postmodern issue are the areas of health care and education. For example the decision making of Admissions Officers in American higher education, are influenced by decisions that have been made by the university about the size of the class and the diversity of the class. Health Care organizations make policy decisions that affect every aspect of a patient’s care from admission to treatment and the types of care that are or are not offered. Both education and health care are the object of the significant investment of resources, both areas are value laden in postmodern, pluralistic societies, and yet we do not have a comprehensive method to understand them or evaluate them. This book is of interest to bioethicists, physicians, nurses, health care policy students, educational policy experts, students and government regulators.

Understanding Health Determinants: Explanatory Theories for Social Epidemiology

Understanding Health Determinants: Explanatory Theories for Social Epidemiology by Ian McDowell
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 543 Pages | ISBN : 3031289854 | 31.4 MB

This book assembles a wide range of explanatory perspectives on social inequalities in health. Everywhere in the world, those with less advantage die younger and suffer more illness than the wealthy. Decades of research have documented this reality and yet we lack a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms through which social circumstances ultimately influence the biological processes that lead to disease. Explanations have been proposed from various disciplines – economics, psychology, behavioral science, geography, and neuroscience – and each sheds light on parts of the overall process. But very few texts assemble these insights into an overall explanatory paradigm.
