An understanding of the role of energy-related governance systems and the conditions required for a shift towards renewables in developing countries is urgently needed in order to tap into the global potential of low-carbon development. Although renewable energy sources have become technically feasible and economically viable, social and political factors continue to persist as the most critical obstacles for their dissemination. How Power Shapes Energy Transitions in Southeast Asia conceptualizes power for the field of sustainable energy governance. Based on empirical findings from the Philippines and Indonesia, the book develops an analytical approach that incorporates power theory into a multi-level governance framework. The book begins with a profound background on renewable energy development around the world and presents major trends in development cooperation. A power-based multi-level governance approach is introduced that is rooted in development thinking. Examining how coordination and power relations shape the development and dissemination of renewable energy technologies, the book also shows how decentralization affects low carbon development in emerging economies. Sparking debate on the ways in which energy transitions can be triggered and sustained in developing countries, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of renewable energy development and environmental politics and governance as well as practitioners in development cooperation.

Our increased understanding of health and disease coupled with major technologic advances has resulted in rapid and significant changes in the practice of medicine. How we prepare physicians for clinical practice 20, 30, or 40 years from now is of paramount importance to medical educators, to the future professionals, and to society at large. Implementing Biomedical Innovations into Health, Education, and Practice delves into this important question, discussing the effects of precision medicine, bioinformatics, biologic and environmental forces, and societal shifts on the physician's approach to diagnosis and therapy. The author interviewed world-renowned physicians, medical educators, healthcare leaders, and research professionals—their insights and quotes are woven throughout the narrative. Professionally illustrated, this relevant resource is a must-have for all medical professionals who incorporate technology and biomedical innovations in their research and clinical practice. It encourages thoughtful analysis on adapting and developing the foundational knowledge, skills, and aptitudes of future physicians and other healthcare professionals, and it belongs in your library. "Having completed deanship at one of America's leading medical schools, Jim Woolliscroft produces an insightful, contemplative projection of the likely skill and behavioral needs of the physician workforce for the mid-21st century...The result is a playbook for physician training that responds effectively to the daunting challenges faced in the coming transformation of the role of physicians in protecting the health of our nation. James L. Madara, MD, CEO, American Medical Association "Dr. Woolliscroft's provocative new book will become must reading for all who are serious about educating the next generation of physicians and health care leaders. Leveraging his own experience as a consummate educator and interviews with numerous thought leaders, he identifies the uncertainties, challenges and disruptions to the practice of medicine in the decades ahead. The implications and imperatives for the coming generations of physicians are compelling and of critical importance for care givers, policy makers, and most pointedly educators in the U.S. and around the world. Gary S. Kaplan MD, Chairman and CEO, Virginia Mason Health System "This ambitious masterpiece, by one of the leading medical educators of our time, fully captures the ongoing changes and disruptions in medicine today, and how they will influence the care of patients and the training of young physicians in the future. Eric Topol, MD, Executive Vice President, Scripps Research, Author of Deep Medicine - Discusses likely technologic disruptors: sensors, AI, machine learning, and robotics - Highlights microbiota, genetics, molecular biology, gene therapy, and regenerative and precision medicine as likely disruptors - Presents an intriguing set of scenarios depicting the life of future physicians

किसी भी देश की पहचान उसके नागरिकों से होती है। शिक्षित, समर्थ, कुशल सक्षम नागरिक तो समर्थ और सक्षम देश। भारत अरसे से अपनी क्षमताओं का अहसास कराने वाला देश बना हुआ है। विश्व गुरु की राह उसके लिये मुश्किल तो है लेकिन नामुमकिन नहीं। भारतीय मेधा ने नये जमाने के आई0टी0 क्षेत्र में अपनी प्रतिभा का लोहा मनवाया है। इसलिये आश्वस्ति होती है कि शिक्षा के क्षेत्र में जोरदार प्रयास करें तो भारत उन्नति के रास्ते पर सरपट आगे निकल सकता है। शिक्षा क्षेत्र में अभी तक देखा जाता रहा है कि हमारे बच्चे नंबरों के गेम में उलझकर रह गये हैं। मौजूदा शिक्षा के तौर तरीकों ने उन्हें रट्टू तोते बना रख छोड़ा है। लेकिन इस हकीकत से मुँह नहीं चुराया जा सकता कि परीक्षा में हासिल अंक ही किसी की क्षमता को परिलक्षित नहीं करते। व्यक्तित्व के सर्वांगीण विकास में अन्य तमाम कारक हैं, जिनमें निपुणता जरुरी है। व्यवसाय हो या कोई अन्य क्षेत्र श्रम की महत्ता का भान भी होना चाहिये। शिक्षा के उद्देश्य तभी मुकम्मल हो सकते हैं जब हर बच्चा आत्म विश्वास से लवरेज हो। मौजूदा शिक्षा ने कागजी किस्म के नागरिक ज्यादा ढ़ाले जबकि जरुरत है हर फन में माहिर नागरिकों की। नयी शिक्षा नीति में कोशिश है कि अच्छी शिक्षा सार्थक शिक्षा के रास्ते में आ रही अड़चनों को हटाया जाये।

COOP 2012 is the tenth COOP conference, marking twenty years from the first conference in 1992. In this special anniversary edition we asked researchers and practitioners to reflect on what have been the successes and the failures in designing cooperative systems, and what challenges still need to be addressed. We have come a long way in understanding the intricacies of cooperation and in designing systems that support work practices and collective activities. These advances would not have been possible without the concerted effort of contributions from a plethora of domains including CSCW, HCI, Information Systems, Knowledge Engineering, Multi-agent systems, organizational and management sciences, sociology, psychology, anthropology, ergonomics, linguistics, etc. The COOP community is going from strength to strength in developing new technologies, advancing and proposing new methodological approaches, and forging theories.
