Hypertension in Children and Adolescents
Author: Empar Lurbe
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030181677
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
This book is devoted to hypertension in children and adolescents, a clinical issue that – thanks to the strides made in several areas of pathophysiological and clinical research – has received growing interest in cardiovascular medicine over the last several years. Given the increasing prevalence of hypertension in children and adolescents, this book represents an important and useful tool to address what has become a significant public health issue. It covers a diverse range of topics, from advances in the definition of hypertension and the identification of new risk factors, to current treatment strategies. The book also presents an overview of the latest findings, including the clinical significance of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) in youth, the importance of out-of-office and central blood pressure measurement, new methods for assessing vascular phenotypes, and clustering of CV risk factors. Gathering contributions by international experts and pursuing a practice-oriented approach, the book offers a valuable tool for cardiologists, pediatricians and nephrologists, as well as general practitioners.

Global Warming in Local Discourses: How Communities around the World Make Sense of Climate Change
Author: Michael Brüggemann
Publisher: Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 1783749385
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Global news on anthropogenic climate change is shaped by international politics, scientific reports and voices from transnational protest movements. This timely volume asks how local communities engage with these transnational discourses. The chapters in this volume present a range of compelling case studies drawn from a broad cross-section of local communities around the world, reflecting diverse cultural and geographical contexts. From Greenland to northern Tanzania, it illuminates how different understandings evolve in diverse cultural and geographical contexts while also revealing some common patterns of how people make sense of climate change. Global Warming in Local Discourses constitutes a significant, new contribution to understanding the multi-perspectivity of our debates on climate change, further highlighting the need for interdisciplinary study within this area. It will be a valuable resource to those studying climate and science communication; those interested in understanding the various roles played by journalism, NGOs, politics and science in shaping public understandings of climate change, as well as those exploring the intersections of the global and the local in debates on the sustainable transformation of societies.

Handbook of BRICS and Emerging Economies
Author: PB Anand
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019256255X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 1180
Book Description
Ever since Jim O'Neill at Goldman Sachs coined the term BRICS in 2001 there have been many different assessments of these major emerging economies, with some even proclaiming that the promise of the BRICS (comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) is over. However, the so called 'arranged marriage' still seems to be working well, with the club having become a formal international forum, with summit declarations, ministerial meetings, and numerous BRICS-wide fora. Is this euphoria misplaced? Is there a BRICS model of economic and human development? Are inequalities increasing and is this the denouncement of the economic successes? Are geo-political tensions rising between these nations? During the post COVID-19 situation, the importance of bilateral and multilateral co-operation mechanisms and institutions is becoming clear. This book focuses on one such emerging co-operation mechanism of BRICS but also more widely on those five countries and other similar economies. As a global depression looms large, global economic recovery depends on the performance of not only its largest economies but also many other important and significant economies within the so called G20 group. Even prior to the COVID-19 outbreak multilateral institutions have been under considerable strain, as with the relationship between the United States of America and China, and risks to global economic recovery appear very real. This book brings together multi-disciplinary perspectives from over sixty scholars and it presents a comprehensive and deep dive into the BRICS and emerging economies and into an understanding the political, economic, and social contexts that can help in designing approaches for recovery and regaining the last momentum in the journey towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

I Would Be Loved
Author: Linda Falkner
Publisher: Virtualbookworm Publishing
ISBN: 9781589391642
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
In the early 1990s, at the peak of the crack cocaine epidemic, the author, Linda Falkner, became a foster parent. Most of her children were infants who had been exposed to alcohol and drugs. Trying to help these children fit into her home, and the world, was only the beginning of the challenges she and her family faced. I WOULD BE LOVED is about kids who were damaged by drugs, alcohol, abuse, and by the system meant to protect them. The older foster children had been emotionally, physically, and often sexually abused. One foster child, a girl named Pixie, came to live with the Falkner family after leaving foster care at eighteen. She had grown up in hundreds of foster homes and was severely mentally ill. Pixie lived with the Falkner?s, on and off, for ten years. In that time, they taught her many life skills, and tried to let her know that she is loved -- but that was the hardest lesson of all for her to learn. I Would Be Loved is Pixie?s story as much as it is Linda?s.
