When we imagine life behind the high walls of the fortress-like prisons that were built and modified as the modern prison system was created in the mid-nineteenth century, we conjure up scenes where strict regulation prevailed to control people in body and in mind. An image that poses something of a paradox is that of mothers and their babies living in this carceral environment. This book looks behind the cell doors of these institutions to illuminate the experiences of this group of prisoners. The management of their health alongside the management of penal discipline posed complex conundrums to the prison system. Although rarely fully considered at policy level, this balancing act was negotiated by those who lived and worked in prisons on a daily basis.

This is the long-awaited pocket text on risk assessment for students and professionals in all health and safety fields. Risk assessment and risk-based decision-making are essential skills in today’s health and safety fields, but a convenient pocket or desk reference has been needed with enough theory to begin a preliminary risk assessment, together with clear explanations, applications, and worked examples. This book addresses that need. It provides a practical resource for estimating risks in various applications, as well as assisting with the design of larger project-based assessments. It explains the two main numeric procedures: probabilistic, or “catastrophic”, and quantitative, or “chronic”, risk assessment, along with chapters on qualitative risk assessment and approaches to food-related risks. A final chapter examines how people perceive risk, and provides advice and assistance in the development of essential, effective risk communication with the public and with the media. Numerous case studies are analyzed. Assessment and Communication of Risk: A Pocket Text for Health and Safety Professionals is a one-stop resource for students in all health and safety fields, and provides a valuable guide for existing field practitioners in public health, occupational health and safety, hospitals, environmental assessment offices, and ministries of health, labour, and the environment.

Exploring a wide variety of visualizations of pregnancy and fetuses through 300 years of history, this timely volume offers a fresh look at the influential feminist concept of the "public fetus."Images of pregnant and fetal bodies are today visible everywhere. Through ultrasound screenings at maternity clinics, birth videos on social media platforms, or antiabortion propaganda, visualizations of pregnancy are available and accessible as never before. The origins of today's visual culture of pregnancy are often traced back to the 1960s, when Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson's stunning photographs of human development were published in Life magazine and widely disseminated over the world. But the public display of pregnant and fetal bodies actually has a much longer and more complex history. In this timely book, a group of scholars from a range of disciplines explores this multifaceted history by highlighting visualizations of pregnant and fetal bodies in a variety of geographical and cultural contexts, spanning a period of more than 300 years. By reengaging with the crucial concept of the "public fetus," coined by feminist scholars in the 1980s and 1990s, the volume aims to revitalize the scholarly discussion on the visual culture of pregnancy and demonstrate the constructed nature of fetal images. Including chapters on a wide variety of representations in different media, such as wet specimen collections, papier-mâché models, sculpture, film, and photography, the book provides a much-needed argument against the widespread notion of the "universal" fetus.On publication this title is available as an Open Access ebook under the Creative Commons License: CC-BY-NC-ND.

Geletterdheid in de gezondheidswetenschappen Het is niet altijd evident om het meest geschikte antwoord te vinden op een klinische vraag. Om weloverwogen beslissingen te nemen in de patiëntenzorg is het essentieel dat gezondheidsprofessionals de relevante (bio- of para)medische informatie vinden, begrijpen, interpreteren en toepassen in de praktijk. Deze 'geletterdheid in de gezondheidswetenschappen' omvat dus zowel vaardigheden om evidence-based practice te beoefenen als om gedegen wetenschappelijk onderzoek op te zetten.In dit boek leer je meer over de basisprincipes van onderzoeksmethodologie en verschillende studieopzetten. Je krijgt een praktische handleiding voor het stellen van casusrelevante vragen, evenals richtlijnen voor het zoeken en selecteren van relevante literatuur in wetenschappelijke databanken zoals PubMed en Embase. Om kritisch te kunnen reflecteren op onderzoek, belichten de auteurs bias en bewijskracht binnen onderzoek om vervolgens gepaste conclusies te trekken voor klinische toepassingen (critical appraised topics) en eventuele wetenschappelijke doeleinden. Ten slotte krijg je ook informatie over referentiebeheer en schrijftips.Het boek Geletterdheid in de gezondheidswetenschappen is bij uitstek geschikt voor zowel studenten, onderzoekers en docenten die werkzaam zijn in de gezondheidszorg als gezondheidsprofessionals. Het is gebaseerd op het Engelstalige handboek Health Science Literacy: From research to review (2021), maar bevat ook aanpassingen en uitbreidingen.https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/geletterdheid-in-de-gezondheidswetenschappen-9789464674606
