Scientific evidence from different countries around the globe shows that those with low or inadequate health-related knowledge and skills include all ages, social, and economic backgrounds. The consequences of this inadequacy simultaneously affect individuals, healthcare systems, and society in many ways, such as healthcare quality and cost.

Optimizing Health Literacy for Improved Clinical Practices examines the latest advances in providing and helping patients and medical professionals to understand basic health information and the services that are most appropriate. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as patient engagement, mobile health, and health communication, this book is geared towards medical professionals, hospital adminstrators, healthcare providers, academicians, and researchers in the field.

Cultural differences among nations are being recognized as critically important for the corporate social responsibility (CSR) agendas of multinational companies. For this reason, the past few years have shown an increase in comparative studies seeking to identify the role played by cultural dimensions in CSR engagement, performances, and communications.

While highlighting topics including business ethics, corporate philanthropy, and stakeholder engagement, this book is ideally designed for managers, business professionals, academicians, and researchers.

In the age of technological advancement, including the emergence of artificial intelligence, big data, and the internet of things, the need for privacy and protection has risen massively. This phenomenon has led to the enforcement of two major legal directives in the European Union (EU) that aim to provide vigorous protection of personal data. There is a need for research on the repercussions and developments that have materialized with these recent regulations and how the rest of the world has been affected. Personal Data Protection and Legal Developments in the European Union is an essential reference source that critically discusses different aspects of the GDPR and the Law Enforcement Directive as well as recent jurisprudential developments concerning data privacy in the EU and its member states. It also addresses relevant recent case law of the Court of Justice of the EU, the European Court of Human Rights, and national courts. Featuring research on topics such as public transparency, medical research data, and automated decision making, this book is ideally designed for law practitioners, data scientists, policymakers, IT professionals, politicians, researchers, analysts, academicians, and students working in the areas of privacy, data protection, big data, information technology, and human rights law.

Bokens tyngdpunkt är ett flöde av bilder från arbetslivets förvandling mellan 1897 och 2002, sammanställda av Peter Gullers. Martin Fritz textkapitel gör de väsentliga nedslagen i modern svensk industrihistoria. Den industriella omvandlingen är också kunskapens omvandling och förskjutning. Hur ser den industriella kunskapen ut? Finns det ett kunskapsarv att förvalta? Peter Gullers och Maria Hammarén är förankrade i ett perspektiv på yrkeskunnande som vuxit fram ur den forskning som under 1980- och 1990-talet alltmer kommit att betona reflektionens roll för lärande i arbetslivet. Bo Göranzon, drivande kraft inom forskningsområdet, skriver i förordet: »Med det rika materialet av fotografiska bilder och Martin Fritz texter om infrastrukturen industrisamhällets omvandling ger boken unika möjligheter att reflektera över lärandet i dagens arbetsliv och den erfarenhetsgrundade kunskapens roll i all utveckling.«
