Abstract

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. During adolescence, young people are exposed to a range of risks beyond their family homes including sexual and criminal exploitation, peer-on-peer abuse and gang-related violence. However, it has only been over the past two decades that the critical safeguarding implications of these harms have started to be recognised. Social care organisations are increasingly experimenting with new approaches but continue to experience challenges in supporting affected young people and their families. This book analyses the results of the first rapid evidence assessment of social care organisations' responses to risks and harms outside the home across 10 countries. The authors highlight key areas for service development, give insights into how these risks and harms can be understood, and consider wider implications for policy and practice.

Abstract

Qu’est-ce que le patrimoine culturel immatériel ? Pourquoi inventer une nouvelle catégorie de patrimoine dans un monde déjà obsédé par la conservation des traces du passé ? Peut-on protéger des expressions culturelles vivantes sans les figer ? À qui revient la charge de le faire ? À qui appartient ce patrimoine ? À travers une analyse des politiques culturelles récemment engagées par les États à la suite de la Convention de l’Unesco pour la sauvegarde du patrimoine culturel immatériel (2003), cet ouvrage propose des premières réponses à ces questions. En effet, cette catégorie patri­moniale, qui suscite des attentes et un engouement croissants parmi les acteurs sociaux et politiques à l’échelle planétaire, est à l’origine de vives controverses entre acteurs ins­titutionnels et scientifiques. Modelée sur une acception anthropologique de la culture, cette notion ne peut que retenir l’attention des ethnolo­gues, qu’ils choisissent de s’investir dans le chantier d’élaboration de ce patrimoine, ou d’observer à distance l’« effet Unesco » sur des objets tels que la samba de roda ou les fêtes de la Tarasque. Au cœur du débat anthropologique contemporain, l’institution du patrimoine immatériel est trop récente pour avoir déjà fait ses preuves. Mais les difficultés qu’elle pose, aux acteurs sociaux et aux institutions, en France comme à l’étranger, montrent que, loin de simplement élargir le champ patrimonial, elle implique des changements profonds. Les contributions ici réunies en analysent certaines des limites et des potentialités.

Abstract

Up until the latter years of the twentieth century, there was very little critical analysis of child protection policies and practices. The core assumption was that it was concerns about child abuse and neglect that provided the rationale and focus for child protection policies, practices, and systems, and they were assumed to be benign in both intent and impact. Increasingly, however, it has been recognised that a whole range of political, cultural, and sociological influences bear on the development and operation of child protection policies, practices, and systems and that these can have a whole range of negative consequences. The aim of this edited book, based on the Special Edition of the same title, is to provide a range of international cutting-edge papers that critically analyse different aspects of child protection, and which also provide suggestions about how child protection can be positively reformed.

Abstract

Vanaf 1 januari 2008 worden de MVG-II als onderdeel van de minimale ziekenhuisgegevens (MZG) in de Belgische ziekenhuizen geregistreerd. MVG-II zou de verpleegkundige zorg in ziekenhuizen beter in beeld moeten brengen dan de oorspronkelijke MVG-I. Dit boek richt zich tot alle verpleegkundigen, hoofdverpleegkundigen, verpleegkundige docenten en verpleegkundige leidinggevenden die deze registratie en haar impact willen begrijpen en doorgronden. Het onderzoek dat aan de basis ligt van MVG-II werd uitgevoerd door de Centrum voor Ziekenhuis- en Verplegingswetenschap van de K.U.Leuven en het U.Z.Luik, in opdracht van de FOD Volksgezondheid, Veiligheid van de Voedselketen en Leefmilieu. In dit boek leggen de auteurs stap voor stap uit hoe de onderzoekers tot de huidige lijst van 78 verpleegkundige interventies zijn gekomen en hoe deze gegevens kunnen gebruikt worden om het beleid van ziekenhuizen en de gezondheidszorg te verbeteren. Een niet te missen instrument voor wie met de nieuwe MVG-II geconfronteerd wordt.

Abstract

The research studies included in this Special Issue highlight the fundamental contribution of the knowledge of environmental history to conscious and efficient environment conservation and management. The long-term perspective of the dynamics that govern the human–climate ecosystem is becoming one of the main focuses of interest in biological and earth system sciences. Multidisciplinary bio-geo-archaeo investigations into the underlying processes of human impact on the landscape are crucial to envisage possible future scenarios of biosphere responses to global warming and biodiversity losses. This Special Issue seeks to engage an interdisciplinary dialog on the dynamic interactions between nature and society, focusing on long-term environmental data as an essential tool for better-informed landscape management decisions to achieve an equilibrium between conservation and sustainable resource exploitation.

Abstract

Down to Earth Archaeology collects sixteen archaeological papers by Professor William Y. Adams chosen by the author, who added introductory commentary to each. These articles were written at various times during his lengthy and productive academic career for different purposes and for different audiences. Most of those selected had been previously published only in a limited way, either as conference proceedings or contributions to various Festschriften, and as such he wanted to enable them to reach a wider readership than they had originally. He described this collection as his 'dernières pensées'. The essays encompass a wide range of topics, from reflections upon the successes, failures and lessons learned from the UNESCO International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia in the 1960s, in which Bill was very much a leading figure and which he was uniquely positioned to critique, to discussions and criticisms of the theoretical framework of 'New' or 'Processual Archaeology' and its application of 'scientific' methods. Other papers included here are seminal works discussing the ideological concepts of typology and classification and their practical application to archaeological excavations, notably his own major excavations conducted at the large Nubian cityscapes of Meinarti, Kulubnarti and Qasr Ibrim, and the ceramic kilns at Faras."

Abstract

Intensive agriculture has generally resulted in higher productivity, but also in a trend towards decreasing levels of agro-biodiversity, which represents a key point in ensuring the adaptability and resilience of agro-ecosystems in the global challenge to produce more and better food in a sustainable way. The biodiversity of vegetable crops includes genetic diversity—both as species diversity (interspecific diversity) and as a diversity of genes within a species (intraspecific diversity) with regard to the vegetable varieties grown—and the diversity of agro-ecosystems (agro-biodiversity). The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality research papers addressing recent progress and perspectives on different aspects related to the biodiversity of vegetable crops. Original, high-quality contributions that have not yet been published, or that are not currently under review by other journals have been sought. The papers in this Special Issue cover a broad range of aspects and report recent research results regarding agro-biodiversity, which continues to be of significant relevance for both genetic and agricultural applications. All contributions are of significant relevance and could stimulate further research in this area.

Abstract

This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue titled “Assessing the Impact of Climate Change on Urban Cultural Heritage” hosted at the Atmosphere journal. This topic has been chosen in light of cities’ ever-growing role and immense potential in the climate adaptation and mitigation discourse and the particular challenges regarding urban heritage making and conservation. It is critical to recognise the complex set of factors governing the physical, social and political future of urban heritage in cityscapes in constant transformation and in an era of planetary urbanisation. The 10 papers (seven research papers, two reviews and one opinion piece) that comprise the issue give a broad cross-section of the issues pertinent to this important topic – accounts on practices and conceptual/methodological improvements in energy retrofit and reuse, risk mapping, urban planning, climate vulnerability assessment, and community engagement by 38 authors from seven countries are used to delineate the implications of current and likely future climates on heritage materials and systems, knowledge and practice gaps, as well as steps that need to be taken to ensure both their safeguarding and their valorisation to achieve climate resiliency.
