book provides for the first time a chronicle of the struggle for, and eventual success of, universal health coverage (UHC) in Tanzania. Beginning with an introduction to primary health care in the country, from its historical foundations to the major milestones of implementation, this book then considers stewardship of this important aspect of health systems over time. Written in a way to allow the application of lessons learned to other countries' contexts, this book covers: - Policy and governance issues such as leadership, human resources, and financing of health systems; - Practical aspects of health system delivery, including supply chains, community care, new technologies, and the integration of services for particular population groups; - The impact and mitigation of global events on health systems, such as resilience and preparedness in the light of disease outbreaks or climate change, and social, commercial, and political influences. Concluding with a look to the future, forecasting the changes and new solutions needed to adapt to a changing world, this book is a valuable reference for policy makers, global health practitioners, health system managers, researchers, students, and all those with an interest in primary health care and reforms - both in Tanzania and beyond.This book deals with the activities of the Anglo-Dutch multinational during the war.

transformations could be as dramatic as the last Ice Age, but scholars have only begun to take full measure of the changes. The articles presented here provide a map of some of the more promising directions of historical research. Major themes include biological exchange, agriculture, extraction of forest and animal resources, interactions between indigenous and European methods of exploitation, and European approaches to regulation and conservation. A useful corrective to the frontier image of Europeans conquering the wilderness, this volume provides a rich picture of the diversity of European interests and the sometimes unexpected consequences of their approaches to the land.By David B. Reynolds. 1966

- from fighting for living wages, to electing progressive champions, to questioning market-oriented economic development, to promoting anti-sprawl/smart growth efforts. Partnering for Change brings together activists and intellectuals on the forefront of these organizing efforts. They discuss general patterns of labor-community coalitions in terms of alliances between unions and such community players as environmentalists, religious groups, low-income organizations, and local employers. The contributors also offer a wealth of case studies such as the successful campaign for corporate subsidy accountability in Minnesota, Vermont's Livable Wage Campaign, The Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership, and the model regional power building projects of the South Bay AFL-CIO. The volume's editor, David Reynolds, combines a broad overview of labor-community coalitions, practical examples applicable to diverse communities, and an appreciation of the challenges as well as the opportunities for building the movement for economic change.By Joel Rogers, Thomas Ferguson. 1984

Journalists hate the term fake news, but there’s a troubling reality: spin doctors routinely try to dupe them into reporting…
misleading and distorted stories.Check the news on any given day and here’s what you’ll find: Governments routinely lie. Companies inflate claims about their products and practices. Institutions release studies with misleading data meant to deceive. Police departments, infected by systemic racism, downplay crimes against Indigenous and racialized people.The public depends on the media to help them understand the world, but are journalists catching all the daily lies, omissions, and distortions? Shrinking newsrooms and an army of spin doctors mean journalists can get duped. Despite valiant efforts by a handful of investigative journalists, the truth is routinely left behind.Award-winning journalist Cecil Rosner insists there is something we can do about this. We can pressure news organizations to stop blindly regurgitating the firehose of press releases and focus instead on determining what is actually true. Rosner empowers readers by sharing his techniques for detecting misinformation and disinformation.Many organisations face the challenge of making their project management more agile. However, the circumstances are often not suitable for…
this: The desired agility either does not fit the existing projects, or there is a lack of sufficient systematics. Lean Project Management shows how the advantages of different Lean Project Management methods – adaptive, targeted and flexible – can be combined. In addition to the established methods of classic and agile project management, proven methods and tools from Lean Management are used and further developed with a view to the requirements of project management (such as Gemba, 5S and more). The book shows how an organisation can systematically professionalise its project management, and make it more flexible in a targeted manner, in order to achieve more value with less effort. Aimed at students on postgraduate courses in business and project management as well as professional project managers working in organisations both large and small, Lean Project Management is a clear and comprehensive guide to combining the best methods to achieve optimal results.By Peter McManners. 2024

bold generalizations about causes of good results, but almost no systematic cross-national studies that flesh out major theoretical arguments and test those claims with data. This study makes a seminal contribution to that effort in two ways. First, by taking environmental outcomes over the last thirty years as the central dependent variable, it provides a basis for evaluating national performance in reducing environmental problems. Second, by developing a data set including performance in a number of countries and elaborating on major explanations of environmental performance found in the literature, this study provides the most rigorous available analysis of the determinants of environmental performance. In so doing, it challenges what is probably the conventional wisdom in the social sciences.Das LkSG kodifiziert erstmalig Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichten für deutsche Unternehmen und begründet somit einen Paradigmenwechsel von bislang freiwilliger verantwortungsvoller Unternehmensführung hin zu…
Verbindlichkeit hinsichtlich Umwelt- und Menschenrechtssorgfalt. Die Neuartigkeit des Regelungskontextes sowie erhebliche Negativfolgen bei Non-Compliance resultieren in großen Herausforderungen bei der Umsetzung der Vorgaben. Medienwirksame Menschenrechtskatastrophen haben in diesem Zusammenhang die gesellschaftliche Sensibilisierung für menschenrechtliche Auswirkungen in den international verflochtenen und hochrisikobehafteten textilen Lieferketten deutlich erhöht. Vor diesem Hintergrund erfolgt eine ausführliche Darstellung der Rechtsgrundlagen, komplexen Regelungsinhalte und ökonomischen Implikationen des Gesetzes. Außerdem bietet das Buch eine praktische Orientierungshilfe zur Umsetzung des LkSG. So erfolgt eine exemplarische Risikoanalyse, welche die im Gesetz definierten geschützten Rechtsgüter und Anforderungen praxisnah illustriert. Anhand der Herleitung eines konkreten Risikobewertungsframeworks sowie spezifischer Umsetzungsinstrumente zur Maßnahmenwirksamkeitsmessung werden weitere konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet. Das Buch empfiehlt schließlich die integrierte Steuerung der Sorgfaltspflichten anhand etablierter Managementinstrumente des Compliance- und Risikomanagements zur handlungssicheren und effizienten Umsetzung der Gesetzesanforderungen.By Beverly Cleary. 1995

Collected together for the very first time, witty and wide-ranging essays from the celebrated author of Little Women.Louisa May Alcott…
(1832–1888) is, of course, best known as the author of Little Women (1868). But she was also a noted essayist who wrote on a wide range of subjects, including her father&’s failed utopian commune, the benefits of an unmarried life, and her experience as a young woman sent to work in service to alleviate her family&’s poverty. Her first literary success was a contemporary close-up account of the American Civil War, brilliantly depicted in Hospital Sketches, which was drawn from her own experience of serving as an army nurse near the nation&’s capital. As with her famous novel, Alcott writes these essays with clear observation, unforgettable scenes, and one of the sharpest wits in American literature.Blending gentle satire with reportage and emotive autobiography, Alcott&’s exquisite essays are as exceptional as the novels she is known for. Published together for the first time, this delightful selection shows us another side to one of our most celebrated writers.
