DOWNLOAD EBOOKDengue and its potentially fatal forms, dengue henorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome, once more threaten much of the Americas. In the 1980s the vector control programmes fell victim to the cutbacks in public health expenditure and their responses to dengue outbreaks tended to be a little too late. These guidelines have risen to the challenge by incorporating all aspects of the prevention and control of the disease and its vectors. In addition, because dengue is primarily a problem of domestic sanitation and households can combat the problem inexpensively. The guidelines enmphasize ways to transfer responsibility for dengue control and prevention to the community."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBy the end of the eighteenth century, the French dominated the world of science. And although science and politics had little to do with each other directly, there were increasingly frequent intersections. This is a study of those transactions between science and state, knowledge and power--on the eve of the French Revolution. Charles Gillispie explores how the links between science and polity in France were related to governmental reform, modernization of the economy, and professionalization of science and engineering.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book offers a systematic study of media education in Latin America. As spending on technological infrastructure in the region increases exponentially for educational purposes, and with national curriculums beginning to implement media related skills, this book makes a timely contribution to new debates surrounding the significance of media literacy as a citizen’s right. Taking both a topical and country-based approach, authors from across Latin America present a comprehensive perspective of the region and address issues such as the political and social contexts in which media education is based, the current state of educational policies with respect to media, organizations and experiences that promote media education.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIf the nation is an imagined community constructed through discourse, then belonging the feeling of being part of that nation - can only arise when citizens are empowered to enter the discourse and modify it. Linking political science and cultural studies to explore the mutually constitutive role of discourse and institutions, this volume argues that citizenship is an ongoing and evolving discursive project. Further, it studies the role of culture and different media in the process of citizen-making by taking postcolonial India as its case study. The volume explores discursive plurality and the monopolization of interpretation as the poles from which inclusion in and exclusion from the national community are negotiated. By interfacing political sciences interest in the power of institutions and cultural studies focus on the power of discourse, the author is able to investigate into the ways in which citizenship manifests itself - and is contested - outside the institutional realm, thus revealing conceptual relativity, ruptures, and creative re-interpretations of citizenship.
