Book Synopsis The Covid-19 Conundrum by : David Klooz
Download or read book The Covid-19 Conundrum written by David Klooz and published by David Klooz. This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want to be scared, buy this if only to read the last four chapters on biological level 3 and 4 labs and biological warfare. If you do not want to do that, research it yourself. You will be enlightened and scared beyond belief. I began writing the book because of my interest and confusion about what has been taking place around the globe since the year 2020 began. The West went from hearing about Jeffrey Epstein being murdered in his prison cell and Prince Andrew lying worldwide during an interview to the continual broadcasts of Covid-19 – a plague of biblical proportion that was on its way to kill millions, as reported by the mass media. It still is being reported over and over but now added is – the second wave, how bad will it be? How bad was the first one? I worked in the field of public health for 32 years, the last 10 years as Associate Commissioner of Public Health in a Canadian Public Health Department responsible for a population of close to one-half million people. If I learned one thing over those years it is that only programs, strategies and interventions that are evidence based work. Anything else is so much window dressing. One excellent example is school nurses. Why is that program still in place? Because it always has been that way. Window dressing. The more I researched Covid-19 the more, rather than less, confused I became. Testing was flawed, the science was more than bad, data was all over the place, methodologies were different, and interventions, like lockdowns and closures, were anything but, evidence based. Of all the countries, Sweden came the closest to reacting with strategies that were evidence based. In all my years of public health practice, the great majority of those at risk were the always the aged, the young, those with chronic illnesses, and those in the low socioeconomic category, now getting to be the largest category in the population. Those people were always targeted during cold alerts, heat alerts, smog alerts, etc., etc. Mass closures of work and schools were never a thought. Why this time? What I will show you in this book or story is merely a number of real facts and interviews, mostly not reported by the mass media, including strange and flawed data, reversals in decisions based upon nothing tangible and rumors and innuendos. There is something very wrong in this entire story, something that is being covered up and not reported. I have some thoughts but not enough evidence to arrive at any solid conclusion. So while I am not supporting any particular theory, I hope if you are able to read some of the research and news stories that have been documented that you will have a better sense of what is happening and what is now, or will be, hidden, possibly under the, now always present, label of ‘National Security’.
Book Synopsis Digitally Enabling 'Learning by Doing' in Vocational Education by : Selena Chan
Download or read book Digitally Enabling 'Learning by Doing' in Vocational Education written by Selena Chan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces, rationalizes and describes some ways to circumvent the challenges of providing ‘hands-on’ learning when programmes with practice-based focuses have to be offered via distance learning. It presents a framework to help deconstruct the many aspects of ‘learning to become’ a professional or practitioner. Then, it demarcates the skills, knowledge and attributes towards ensuring learners are prepared for the exigencies of the future of work. The book details the types of pedagogical approaches, including project/inquiry/problem-based learning, which help assist learners to learn both the competencies and capabilities required. It introduces technology-enhanced learning (TEL) platforms and tools supporting ‘education 4.0’, and presents a series of contemporary research studies on the integration of TEL, which are augmented and updated to allow for the challenges of provisioning opportunities for ‘learning by doing’ through distance learning. Finally, the book proposes recommendations to help ensure that institutions are better prepared for the sustainable shift to distance learning.
Book Synopsis Love, Intimacy and Online Dating by : Lisa Portolan
Download or read book Love, Intimacy and Online Dating written by Lisa Portolan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-02 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love, Intimacy and Online Dating: How a Global Pandemic Redefined Romantic Relationships is an innovative work that explores the concept of intimacy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The book provides an overview of the online dating world and apps, the use of which gradually became common as the pandemic restricted people’s interaction in the physical world. The author’s extensive research conducted during the pandemic posits a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s motivation to join a dating app and explores its varied aspects. This thoroughly researched book explores the themes and elements of online dating and examines the users’ motivation for joining a dating app, for seeking intimacy as well as for self-presentation on the app. Portolan examines the underlying politics and role of infrastructure of dating apps and describes how gender, power, and intimacy intersect to create new intimacy phenomena. She also utilises her research to put forth the key concept of "Jagged Love", which describes a user’s cyclical relationship with dating apps during the pandemic, and the gap between a user’s act to seek familiar romantic narratives and the app’s inability to deliver against these ideas. The chapters further explore the differences between virtual and In Real Life (IRL) intimacy, the generation of gender and the emanation of stereotypical cultural ideals that the users sought through the apps. The book serves as an invaluable discussion on the pandemic’s impact on modifying the definitions of romance and intimacy. This book will be useful for highlighting the impact social factors can have on familiar concepts and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the definition of love and intimacy, making it fascinating for students, academics and professionals interested in relationships, digital media and gender. It will also be useful in enhancing the comprehension of love and romance in the fields of social science.

This book was released on 2023-07-19 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures the big picture of the COVID-19 scenario in India in the year 2021, by stitching together the writings of people with a ringside view of different facets of the second wave, which was markedly different from the first wave. While it is currently too early to objectively research COVID-19 and its impact on society for want of adequate temporal distance, this book serves to record the events authentically. Covering a span of three to four months of the peaking pandemic in India, it presents a vivid idea of the onslaught, complexities, confusion, chaos, and indecision in every field, amplified by the suddenness and ferociousness of the second wave. The book will appeal to researchers in health care, community health, public policy, administration, governance, mental health, and other interdisciplinary domains.

Book Synopsis African Human Rights Law Journal Volume 20 No 2 2020 by :
Download or read book African Human Rights Law Journal Volume 20 No 2 2020 written by and published by Pretoria University Law Press. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2020, the African Human Rights Law Journal (AHRLJ or Journal) celebrates 20 years since it first was published. The AHRLJ is the only peer-reviewed journal focused on human rights-related topics of relevance to Africa, Africans and scholars of Africa. It is a time for celebration. Since 2001, two issues of the AHRLJ have appeared every year. Initially published by Juta, in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2013 it became as an open-access journal published by the Pretoria University Law Press (PULP). PULP is a non-profit open-access publisher focused on advancing African scholarship. The AHRLJ contains peer-reviewed articles and ‘recent developments’, discussing the latest court decisions and legal developments in the African Union (AU) and regional economic communities. It contains brief discussions of recently-published books. With a total of 517 contributions in 40 issues (436 articles and 81 ‘recent developments’; not counting ‘book reviews’), on average the AHRLJ contains around 13 contributions per issue. The AHRLJ is accredited with the International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS) and the South African Department of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, and appears in a number of open access portals, including AfricanLii, the Directory of Open Access Journals and SciELO. Over the 20 years of its existence, many significant articles appeared in the AHRLJ. According to Google Scholar the mostcited articles that have appeared in the Journal over this period are (i) T Metz ‘Ubuntu as a moral theory and human rights in South Africa’ (2011) 11 African Human Rights Law Journal 532-559 (with 273 citations); (ii) D Cornell and K van Marle ‘Exploring ubuntu: Tentative reflections’ (2005) 5 African Human Rights Law Journal 195- 220 (with 97 citations); (iii) S Tamale ‘Exploring the contours of African sexualities: Religion, law and power’ (2014) 14 African Human Rights Law Journal 150-177 (with 85 citations); K Kindiki ‘The normative and institutional framework of the African Union relating to the protection of human rights and the maintenance of international peace and security: A critical appraisal’ (2003) 3 African Human Rights Law Journal 97-117 (with 59 citations); and T Kaime ‘The Convention on the Rights of the Child and the cultural legitimacy of children’s rights in Africa: Some reflections’ (2005) 5 African Human Rights Law Journal 221-238) (with 54 citations). This occasion allows some perspective on the role that the Journal has played over the past 20 years. It is fair to say that the AHRLJ contributed towards strengthening indigenous African scholarship, in general, and human rights-related themes, specifically. Before the Journal there was no academic ‘outlet’ devoted to human rights in the broader African context. Both in quantity and in quality the Journal has left its mark on the landscape of scholarly journals. The AHRLJ has provided a forum for African voices, including those that needed to be ‘fine-tuned’. Different from many other peerreviewed journals, the AHRLJ has seen it as its responsibility to nurture emerging but not yet fully-flourishing talent. This approach allowed younger and emerging scholars to be guided to sharpen their skills and find their scholarly voices. The AHRLJ has evolved in tandem with the African regional human rights system, in a dialogic relationship characterised by constructive criticism. When the Journal was first published in 2001, the Protocol on the Establishment of an African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Court Protocol) was not yet in force. Over the years the Journal tracked the evolution of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Court) from a faltering start, through a phase when it increasingly expressed itself in an emerging jurisprudence, to the current situation of push-back by states signalled by the withdrawal by four states of their acceptance of the Court’s direct individual access jurisdiction. The same is largely true for the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (African Children’s Committee). It was in 2001 that the AU elected the first members of this Committee. It first met in 2002, and its first decade or so was lackluster. The Committee examined its first state report only in November 2008, and decided its first communication in March 2011. Articles by authors such as Mezmur and Sloth-Nielsen, who also served as members of the Committee, and Lloyd, placed the spotlight on the work of the Committee. Initially, these articles primarily served to describe and provide information that otherwise was largely inaccessible, but over time they increasingly provided a critical gaze and contributed to the constructive evolution of the Committee’s exercise of its mandate. By 2011 the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Commission) was already quite well established, but it also underwent significant growth over the subsequent 20-year period. Numerous articles in the Journal trace and analyse aspects of this evolution. Contributions in the Journal also cover most of the AU human rights treaties and soft law standards. A number of issues contain a ‘special focus’ section dealing with a thematic issue of particular relevance or concern, such as the focus on the Protocol to the African Charter on the Rights of Women (2006 no 1); ‘30 years of the African Charter’ (2011 no 2); and ‘sexual and reproductive rights and the African Women’s Protocol’ (2014 no 2). The scope of the Journal extends beyond the supranational dimension of human rights. Over the years many contributions explored aspects of the domestic human rights situation in countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe. From time to time the specific focus sections also veered towards domestic human rights protection. See for instance the focus on 20 years of the South African Constitution (2014 no 2); on ‘adolescent sexual and reproductive rights in the African region’ (2017 no 2); on ‘the rule of law in sub-Saharan Africa’ (2018 no 1); and on ‘dignity taking and dignity restorations’ (2018 no 2).

This book was released on 2022-09-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically reflects on the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by exploring the impact and possible future outcomes in a region already struggling with the effects of a decade of uprisings, failed or difficult political transitions, state collapses, civil war and international conflict. International scholars offer a comprehensive treatment of today's major societal issues and provide a unique, broadly comparative view on public policy responses in the MENA region. Addressing the implications and public policy responses to the crisis, they bring a critical perspective to the emerging challenges of evidence-based policy making; the locus of authority in transnational issues; the nature of governance; and the role of government and implications for civil society. Tackling the psychology, sociology, education, law, and public policy issues related to the social and economic implications of the COVID 19 pandemic, this book will be of interest to scholars and students alike.

It critically analyzes gender politics from different disciplinary perspectives including psychoanalysis, post-structuralism, post-colonialism and law among others. Enriched by contributions from well-known South Asian feminist scholars, this book discusses themes such as democracy and dissent, citizenship and violence and how the female body has historically been used in these discussions as a shield and a weapon.

The chapters in the volume showcase the complexities, convergences and divergences which exist in the conception and understanding of the gendered body, sexuality and gender roles in different socio-cultural spaces in South Asia and how women negotiate these boundaries. Topical and comprehensive, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of gender studies, sociology, political sociology, social anthropology, cultural studies, post-colonial studies and South Asian studies.
Download or read book Balochistan written by Francesca Marino and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-28 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A time will come when children can play in the streets without the fear of being abducted, women in their homes can be sure that their husbands and sons will return, and young women will no longer feel afraid to go to their university or workplace. I hope that dawn will break one day on a free and peaceful land. Balochistan is an account of the trials and tragedies suffered by this region, which has been forcefully annexed to Pakistan against the will of its people. The area is of fundamental strategic and geopolitical importance not only to Islamabad and to the Chinese CPEC project, but also to the numerous players that act as avatars of the powers in the long-running 'Great Game'. What is woefully ignored is that the lives of the locals are under stake. The Baloch people have long been trying to draw international attention to what is happening to them and their homeland. However, the world has turned a blind eye to the ethnic and cultural genocide carried out so far. Starting from the history of Balochistan and the wrongs done to its people, along with detailed interviews with the lead actors in this struggle, acclaimed journalist Francesca Marino attempts to lend a voice to the Baloch people and speak for themselves about one of the most reprehensible and inexplicable silences of our times.
