This book analyzes the concept of likelihood of success in just war thinking and argues that if the concept should…
be retained, it must be reconsidered within the overall whole of the tradition of just war.The concept of likelihood of success has stood out as particularly troublesome to thinkers and practitioners in the just war tradition. The idea, while related to the other categories of just war, such as proportionality and military necessity, can at times be confused with being an absolute rather than a co-belligerent criterion within the broader just war canon. With such an abstraction, justice can be collapsed into a kind of pragmatic calculation, favoring the powerful, and virtually invalidating insurrection, rebellion, or resistance. This volume brings together scholars and experts from across the tradition to reconsider and reconceptualize the likelihood of success. It analyzes this concept not only in light of the war in Ukraine and the war in Gaza, but also in historical cases such as Thermopylae or the Russo-Finnish Winter War. It also examines how we categorize and calculate the likelihood of success and what, after all, we mean by "success." Further, the volume considers how close or far from the target we should get, or expect to get, before claiming that a war is "unjust" or immoral, and raises the issue of the destructiveness caused by defenders themselves.This book will be of interest to students of just war theory, military ethics, statecraft, and international relations generally.

Interprofessional teams of health and social care professionals encounter, and respond to, significant ethical challenges and complexity in their everyday…
work. This scenario-based book explores how to enact ethical values and virtues, while working across the four pillars of professional activity – practice, education, leadership and research. Effective responses to care needs and everyday complexity require teamwork and a holistic approach to individual, family and community needs. They require health and social care professionals having an in-depth appreciation of their own professional roles, responsibilities and contributions, as well as those of other professions.This book enables readers to engage with, and reflect on, a range of ethical decision-making situations that can occur across the lifecourse and impact interprofessional teams. Each chapter is based around particular authentic scenarios derived from the experiences of care-recipients and family members involved in the co-production of the book and taking place in a range of care contexts – from maternity care to community; from hospital to residential care; and from accident and emergency areas to hospice.Introducing and discussing interprofessional issues from an ethical stance, this is an essential text for health and social care students and practitioners, and a resource for interprofessional (IPE) facilitators with a commitment to ethics in health and social care practice, research, education and leadership.

This is a second edition of a book that provides an overview of the most current findings on the diverse…
roles played by astrocytes in the function and dysfunction of the central nervous system (CNS), with emphasis on their cellular connections. Astrocytes are highly elaborated cells and likely the only neural cells that simultaneously establish associations with different cellular types. The fine processes of astrocytes are found in practically all nearby cellular types in the CNS, including astrocytes themselves, neurons, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and brain endothelial cells. Such close morphological associations, together with the fact that astrocytes express a multitude of ion channels, transporters, and membrane receptors, endow these cells with the unique capability to sense and influence diverse CNS functions. Disruption of these elaborated connections and altered astrocyte polarization are implicated in numerous pathological conditions, such as epilepsy, stroke, leukodystrophies, Alzheimer’s, and autism, and also certain psychiatric disorders, major depression, and schizophrenia.

and reveals his thoughts on the role of a doctor.Features an introduction by Aleida Guevara March, MD, a Cuban physician who is the eldest daughter of four children born to Ernesto "Che" Guevara and his second wife, Aleida MarchBefore Ernesto Che Guevara became &“Che,&” before he traveled Latin America, before he joined Fidel in Cuba, he was a medical student. In 1956 he wrote to his mother before leaving to go and join the guerilla expedition to Cuba: &“My path seems to be slowly but surely diverging from that of clinical medicine, but not so far that I have lost my nostalgia for hospitals. What I told you about the professorship in physiology was a lie, but not a big one. It was a lie because I never planned to accept it, but the offer was real and there was a strong possibility that they were going to give it to me, as I had an interview and everything. Anyway, that&’s all history. Saint Carlos [Karl Marx] has made a new recruit.&” He had started a book on the role of the doctor in Latin America, a work he fully intended to continue writing. It remained incomplete at the time of his death in Bolivia at the age of thirty-nine, just eleven years later.Antes de que Ernesto Che Guevara se convirtiera en el "Che", antes de viajar por América Latina, antes de unirse a Fidel en Cuba, era estudiante de medicina. Antes de partir para unirse a la expedición guerrillera a Cuba en 1956, Che escribió a su madre: "Mi camino parece desviarse lentamente pero seguramente de la medicina clínica, pero no tanto como para perder la nostalgia de los hospitales. Lo que te dije de la cátedra de fisiología era mentira, pero no muy grande … En fin, eso ya es historia. San Carlos [Karl Marx] ha hecho un nuevo fichaje."Había empezado a trabajar en una obra sobre el papel del médico en América Latina, un libro que seguía sin completar en el momento de su muerte en Bolivia a la edad de treinta y nueve años, sólo once años después.
