I samband med regelbundna hälsobesök möter skolsköterskan alla elever i skolan och får kunskap om deras hälsa och livssituation. Tillsammans med övriga yrkeskategorier inom elevhälsan och i skolan har skolsköterskan en viktig uppgift, dels att främja elevernas hälsosamma levnadsvanor, dels att förmedla kunskap om faktorer som bidrar till hälsa och stödja elevernas utveckling mot utbildningens mål.Denna omarbetade och utökade upplaga har fokus på situationer i skolsköterskans vardag och belyser skolsköterskans insatser för att möta de behov som barn och unga har i dag. Ett kapitel om hälsofrämjande skola, ett ytterligare kapitel om sexuell hälsa och utsatthet för våld i olika kontext samt ett utförligt kapitel om sekretess inom elevhälsans medicinska insats är exempel på nyheter som har tillkommit sedan förra upplagan. Dessutom visar denna nya upplaga på skolsköterskans fortsatt viktiga roll i skolan, inspirerar till utveckling av yrket och lyfter fram ny forskning samt metoder som kan användas i arbetet med skolbarns hälsa.Så gott som alla författare har egen erfarenhet av arbete som skolsköterska. Flera arbetar med undervisning och som forskare inom områden och ämnen som ingår i skolsköterskans verksamhet. Boken är till största delen skriven av skolsköterskor – för skolsköterskor, såväl blivande skolsköterskor i utbildning som yrkesverksamma. Förhoppningen är också att boken ska inspirera till vidare forskning och utveckling inom området.

Med antologin Medborgardialog – om det svåra i att mötas fortsätter Arkus att bidra till kunskaps- utveckling inom det angelägna temat medborgardialog. Medborgardialog – om det svåra i att mötas är ett utomordentligt bra exempel på när teori och praktik förenas och lägger substantiell grund för utveckling. Om du arbetar med samhällsbyggande finns inget försvar för att inte läsa den här boken. För dig som inte har planering eller byggande som yrke så är insikter om området ändå värda sin vikt i guld. Den byggda miljön angår oss alla, varje dag, ända in i själ och hjärta. Texterna är resultatet av en kurs för personer som yrkesmässigt leder dialoger. Kursen är en del av det Vinnova-stödda projektet Decode på KTH Arkitekturskolan. Med utgångspunkt i egna erfarenheter och med stöd i vetenskaplig teori har kursdeltagarna reflekterat på djupet. Känslor och rationalitet bryts mot varandra, utan att avfärdas. Kunskapsfilosofi och sociologi bidrar med struktur. Arkus är en stiftelse för praktiknära forskning och utveckling inom arkitektur och samhällsbyggnad. Verksamheten startade 1986 av föregångarna till det som idag är Sveriges Arkitekter och Svenska Teknik&Designföretagen. Varje år pågår ca 20 studier som sedan resulterar i spridbart material. I dagsläget står 42 medlemsföretag för finansieringen. Huvudpartner för Decode är KTH arkitekturskolan, Sweden Green Building Council och Tyréns.

"Japan nu" skärskådar det moderna japanska samhället. Den problematiserar genomgående vedertagna föreställningar om Japan och utmanar idén om landet som något unikt och annorlunda. Det här är bokens andra reviderade och utökade upplaga med ett nytt kapitel: Om Japan efter katastroferna 2011. Boken diskuterar hur den japanska nationen är beskaffad, landets familjestruktur, utbildningssystem, arbetsliv och religioner. Även japansk visuell kultur med fokus på tecknade serier och filmer tas upp. "Japan nu" fokuserar också på olika politiska och ekonomiska fenomen i Japan: växande sociala rörelser, en inrikespolitik i ständig oreda, det ekonomiska läget, samt frågan om landets roll i världen. Linus Hagström (red) är professor i statsvetenskap vid Försvarshögskolan och seniorforskare vid Utrikespolitiska institutet. Pia Moberg (red) är fil. dr i japanologi och knuten till Göteborgs universitet som lektor. Övriga skribenter: Staffan Appelgren, Jørn Borup, Carl Cassegård, H.

Decolonising the Study of Religion analyses historical and contemporary discussions in the study of religion and Buddhism and critically investigates representations, possibilities, and challenges of a decolonial approach, addressing the important question: who owns Buddhism?The monograph offers a case-based perspective with which to examine the general study of religion, where new challenges require reflection and prospects for new directions. It focuses on Buddhism, one religion which has been studied in the West for centuries. Building on postcolonial theories and supplemented with a critical analysis of identity and postsecular engagement, the book offers new possibilities and challenges to the study of religion. It critically investigates decolonisation in the study of religion, subscribing to a third way between ‘objectivist’ and ‘subjectivist’ positions.Analysing the postcolonial and decolonial critique of the study of religion, with a particular focus on Buddhist studies in the West and in Japan, this book will be of interest to researchers in the field of Religious Studies, Buddhism, Japanese religions, anthropology, Asian Studies and those interested in religion and decolonisation.

This book provides new unprecedented research on Buddhism in the five Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Aiming at comparisons between the different Nordic countries, the chapters identify possible unique characteristics of Nordic Buddhism.Buddhism in the Nordic Countries contributes to the growing literature on Buddhism in the West. Identifying a number of similar cultural and social trends that have been at work in the Nordic countries, the book shows that these have favoured the growth of Buddhism in northern Europe. The chapters on each of the Nordic countries describe the establishment of the main Buddhist traditions in the country, temple institutions, monasteries, demography, estimation on the number of Buddhists, geography, economy and funding. They discuss tensions between ethnic Buddhist and converts, if any, and controlling mechanisms of who is a proper Buddhist and how Buddhism should be presented in public space. The contributors analyse representation in media and images of Buddhism in popular culture and present relevant scholarly interest in Buddhism. Additionally, the book includes chapters on significant Buddhist individuals in the Nordic countries who have played major roles in the development of Buddhism.The first book to examine the characteristics of Nordic Buddhism, its connection to the ideology of the Nordic welfare society and to establish if Nordic Buddhism might differ from other forms of Buddhism, this work will be of interest to researchers in the field of religious studies, religion in context and Buddhist studies.Chapter 2 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

The petrochemicals industry is very complex and requires considerable knowledge of the individual processes to develop effective pollution control plans and processes. Information in this small book is intended to provide a base from which one can build. It is not exhaustive in describing the segments of the industry or pollution control techniques; however, it does provide a basic knowledge that should lead to intelligent, environmentally sound solutions to pollution prevention, control, and treatment.

The EU-funded project "Sustainable Consumption Research Exchanges" (SCORE!) consists of around 200 experts in the field of sustainable innovation and sustainable consumption. The SCORE! philosophy is that innovation in SCP (sustainable consumption and production) policy can be achieved only if experts that understand business development, (sustainable) solution design, consumer behaviour and system innovation policy work together in shaping it. Sustainable technology design can be effective only if business can make the products profitably and consumers are attracted to them. To understand how this might effectively happen, the expertise of systems thinkers must be added to the mix.  The publication in 2008 of System Innovation for Sustainability 1 was the first result of a unique positive confrontation between experts from all four communities. It examined what SCP is and what it could be, provided a state-of-the-art review on the governance of change in SCP policy and looked at the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches. System Innovation for Sustainability 2 is the first of three books of case studies covering, respectively, the three key consumption areas of: mobility; food and agriculture; and energy use and housing. These three areas are responsible for 70% of the life-cycle environmental impacts of Western societies. These case studies aim to stimulate, foster or force change to SCP theory in practice. System Innovation for Sustainability 2 focuses on change towards sustainable personal mobility based on implemented cases analysed from a system perspective. It examines what changes can be made to help us reduce our need for mobility, or start to make use of more sustainable mobility systems. This is clearly a critical and highly problematic area, as increasing living standards of a growing global population have resulted in rapid rises in both car and air travel along with the associated pollution. Uniquely, this book approaches the problems and solutions from a systems perspective, explaining the meta-trends, specific issues for the mobility sector, socioeconomic trends, political considerations, socio-cultural developments and environmental issues. As well as the mobility system itself, other societal systems that impact the need for mobility, such as labour and taxation, are addressed in order to provide sustainable solutions to our current "lock-in" problems.  Three major problem areas are considered (the "three Cs"): carbon emissions (and the growing contribution of mobility to the climate change crisis), congestion, and casualties. And each strategy proposed addresses one or more of these problem areas. Among the cases discussed are: Norway's carbon compensation scheme for air travel; Madrid's high-occupancy vehicle lanes; London's congestion charge scheme; market-based instruments such as eco-labelling for cars; and taxation.  The book identifies opportunities for actors such as governments, manufacturers and consumers to intervene in the complex system to promote sustainable mobility. It concludes with a reflection on problems, trends and action needed.  The System Innovation for Sustainability series is the fruit of the first major international research network on SCP and will set the standard in this field for some years to come. It will be required reading for all involved in the policy debate on sustainable production and consumption from government, business, academia and NGOs for designers, scientists, businesses and system innovators.

Engineering Interactive Systems 2007 is an IFIP working conference that brings together researchers and practitioners interested in strengthening the scientific foun- tions of user interface design, examining the relationship between software engine- ing (SE) and human–computer interaction (HCI) and on how user-centerd design (UCD) could be strengthened as an essential part of the software engineering process. Engineering Interactive Systems 2007 was created by merging three conferences: • HCSE 2007 – Human-Centerd Software Engineering held for the first time. The HCSE Working Conference is a multidisciplinary conference entirely dedicated to advancing the basic science and theory of human-centerd software systems engineering. It is organized by IFIP WG 13.2 on Methodologies for User-Centerd Systems Design. • EHCI 2007 – Engineering Human Computer Interaction was held for the tenth time. EHCI aims to investigate the nature, concepts, and construction of user interfaces for software systems. It is organized by IFIP WG 13.4/2.7 on User Interface Engineering. • DSV-IS 2007 – Design, Specification and Verification of Interactive Systems was held for the 13th time. DSV-IS provides a forum where researchers wo- ing on model-based techniques and tools for the design and development of - teractive systems can come together with practitioners and with those working on HCI models and theories.

Throughout the literature of creative learning, many assumptions and even stereotypes about the artists’ creativity are nurtured, often according to myths going back to the Romanticism. The authors have been investigating and describing outstanding artists’ creativity and learning/working processes, asking the question: how do artists create, learn, and organise their work? This book explores these questions by means of original empirical data (interviews with 22 artists) and theoretical research in the field of the arts and creativity from a learning perspective. Findings shed an original light on how artists learn and create, and how their creative learning and change processes come about, for instance when facilitating and leading creative processes.
