The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.
"In this state-of-the-art volume, leading international scholars and clinicians provide a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary overview of how rigorous research on bereavement translates into practice. They identify new developments and controversies in the field, relating new theories to concepts from attachment theory and emotion theory. The effects of societal change and of national and international events on personal and public mourning are examined along with other areas of interest to practitioners, such as grief and disaster, posttraumatic growth, and cultural competence in helping diverse clients cope with grief and bereavement. New analyses use longitudinal data sets to trace patterns of adjustment, trajectories of grieving over time, and the use of coping resources. The contributors also explore emerging research on the consequences of losing a loved one, "disenfranchised" grieving, continuing bonds, and other critical areas. Researchers and practitioners will find much to enrich and deepen their work in this thought-provoking volume"--Cover. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).
Phosphorus in Environmental Technology: Principles and Applications, provides a definitive and detailed presentation of state-of-the-art knowledge on the environmental behaviour of phosphorus and its applications to the treatment of waters and soils. Special attention is given to phosphorus removal for recovery technologies, a concept that has emerged over the past 5-6 years. The book features an all-encompassing approach: the fundamental science of phosphorus (chemistry, geochemistry, mineralogy, biology), key aspects of its environmental behaviour and mobility, industrial applications (treatment, removal, recovery) and the principles behind such applications, novel biotechnologies and, importantly, it also addresses socio-economic issues which often influence implementation and the ultimate success of any new technology. A detailed subject index helps the reader to find their way through the different scientific and technological aspects covered, making it an invaluable reference work for students, professionals and consultants dealing with phosphorus-related environmental technologies. State-of-the-art knowledge on the behaviour of phosphorus and its applications to environmental science and technology. Covers all aspects of phosphorus in the environment, engineered and biological systems; an interdisciplinary text.
If educating populations that have been affected by crises or natural disasters is vital to the rebuilding of communities, this book argues that education should figure as priority among all the crucial issues to be addressed, as it is essential to the future of these populations. It is meant as an aid to organizations and educational planners, with discussions of issues such as funding, inclusive education, safety in schools, trauma healing, curriculum activities and distance learning.--Publisher's description.

"Unlike any other study in its field, The Altruistic Brain synthesizes into one theory the most important research into how and why - by purely physical mechanisms - humans empathize with one another and respond altruistically."--Jacket.
Este libro desarrolla los contenidos del módulo profesional de Atención Sanitaria Inicial en Situaciones de Emergencia, del Ciclo Formativo de grado medio de Emergencias Sanitarias, perteneciente a la familia profesional de Sanidad. Para ello, se ha tenido en cuenta el RD 1397/2007, de 29 de octubre, y la Orden ESD/3391/2008, de 3 de noviembre, por los que se establecen el título y el currículo, respectivamente, del título de Técnico en Emergencias Sanitarias. Asimismo, se han considerado los currículos de dicho ciclo en cada comunidad autónoma del territorio español. La obra se organiza en 12 unidades, que desarrollan los siguientes temas: la asistencia sanitaria en emergencias; el sistema nervioso; el aparato cardiocirculatorio; el aparato respiratorio; la parada cardiaca; soporte vital básico en adultos; soporte vital básico en víctimas pediátricas; obstrucción y manejo de la vía aérea; soporte vital intermedio; atención a múltiples víctimas; clasificación de las víctimas: el triaje; situaciones especiales en emergencias. Es importante destacar que todas las unidades están diseñadas desde dos puntos de vista: el del docente, en cuanto a la forma, la estructura, las actividades y los recursos de cada unidad; y el de los profesionales de emergencias sanitarias. La combinación de ambos enfoques permite una enseñanza completa, útil y eficaz, tanto para el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje como para la futura vida profesional de los alumnos. Asimismo, cada unidad ofrece multitud de recursos para profesores y alumnos. Cuenta con gran número de esquemas, imágenes, tablas, actividades propuestas y cuadros aclaratorios o de información adicional, para ilustrar y poner en práctica los contenidos teóricos y ayudar a una mejor comprensión de estos. Además, el mapa conceptual al término de cada unidad muestra el recorrido en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Por último, se incluyen actividades finales de comprobación, aplicación e investigación, con el objetivo de que los alumnos desarrollen distintas capacidades de estudio. Por ello, esta obra, fruto de la experiencia docente de su autora, es una útil herramienta para profesores y alumnos de este módulo.
