Menacing Tides: Security, Piracy and Empire in the Nineteenth-Century Mediterranean
by Erik de LangeNew ideas of security spelled the end of piracy on the Mediterranean Sea during the nineteenth century. As European states ended their military conflicts and privateering wars against one another, they turned their attention to the 'Barbary pirates' of Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli. Naval commanders, diplomats, merchant lobbies and activists cooperated for the first time against this shared threat. Together, they installed a new order of security at sea. Drawing on European and Ottoman archival records – from diplomatic correspondence and naval journals to songs, poems and pamphlets – Erik de Lange explores how security was used in the nineteenth century to legitimise the repression of piracy. This repression brought European imperial expansionism and colonial rule to North Africa. By highlighting the crucial role of security within international relations, Menacing Tides demonstrates how European cooperation against shared threats remade the Mediterranean and unleashed a new form of collaborative imperialism.
Mending Fences: Confidence- And Security-building Measures In South Asia
by Sumit GangulyExploring the long history of conflict in South Asia, this book assesses the role of confidence- and security-building measures (CSBMs) in reducing tension. Using a comparative framework, the contributors draw lessons for South Asia from the experiences of the states in Cold War Europe and in the Middle East. Despite the significant historical, political and geographic differences among regions, the contributors illustrate how the implementation of CSBM's elsewhere has important implications for limiting interstate conflict in South Asia.
Menschen, Macht und Mythen: Politik und Glaube im Widerstreit spätmoderner Gesellschaften
by Ludmila Lutz-Auras Dennis Bastian RudolfDer Sammelband diskutiert unterschiedliche Glaubensformen, die gegenwärtig in spätmodernen Gesellschaften miteinander in Widerstreit geraten. Mit Blick auf zunehmende Polarisierungstendenzen werden Glaubensformen und belief systems entlang Yves Bizeuls These einer neuen gesellschaftlichen Konfliktlinie rund um Fragen kollektiver Identität beleuchtet. Neben traditionellen Formen religiösen Glaubens, welche zwischen fortschreitender Säkularisierung und neuer religiöser Radikalisierung changieren, werden mythische Glaubensformen untersucht, die, als Zugang zur Welt und als Autoritäten der Welterklärung, Potential für gesellschaftliche Disruption in sich tragen.

Menschenrechte und Soziale Arbeit im Schatten des Nationalsozialismus: Der lange Weg der Reformen
by Annette Eberle Uwe Kaminsky Luise Behringer Ursula UnterkoflerDas Buch hat die Aufarbeitung der Gewalt- und Missbrauchserfahrungen in Einrichtungen der Sozialen Arbeit in Deutschland zum Thema. Aus einer interdisziplinären Perspektive geht es um die Frage Zentral wie weit eine Aufarbeitung innerhalb der Profession erfolgt ist. Welche Konsequenzen ergeben sich für Betroffene und Einrichtungen? Wie schlägt sich die Aufarbeitung im Menschenrechtsdiskurs und Praxis-Konzepten nieder? Es geht noch immer darum, Öffentlichkeit herzustellen, wie auch diese zweite Auflage zeigt.
Menschenrechtsverletzungen im Zusammenhang mit wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten von transnationalen Unternehmen (Interdisciplinary Studies in Human Rights #2)
by Sofia MassoudDieses Buch analysiert, ob und wie transnationale Unternehmen durch rechtliche Bindungen effektiv zur Einhaltung elementarer Menschenrechte verpflichtet werden können. Darüber hinaus werden auch die gesellschaftspolitischen Aussichten möglicher Strategien reflektiert. Das Buch zielt zwar auf alle Arten von Menschenrechten. Der Untersuchungsgegenstand ist jedoch bewusst auf die Kernarbeitsnormen der ILO beschränkt. Das Werk berücksichtigt gesellschaftsrechtlich verbundene Unternehmen ebenso wie die Möglichkeit einer Regulierung zum Schutz vor Menschenrechtsverletzungen im Zusammenhang mit wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten von Unternehmen in globalen Lieferketten. Das Buch untersucht privatrechtliche und völkerrechtliche Strategien. Anhand ausgewählter Ansätze kommt die Autorin zu dem Ergebnis, dass keine rechtliche Notwendigkeit für den gegenwärtigen Zustand eines defizitären Schutzes vor Menschenrechtsverletzungen im Zusammenhang mit wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten von Unternehmen besteht. Die Autorin legt dar, dass Defizite der Diskussion auch darin bestehen, dass regelmäßig eine Reflexion der Durchsetzungschancen und -möglichkeiten der an sich notwendigen rechtspolitischen Strategien fehlt.
Menschsein in einer technisierten Welt: Interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf den Menschen im Zeichen der digitalen Transformation
by Eva-Maria Endres Anna Puzio Carolin RutzmoserDigitalisierung und technologischer Fortschritt verändern das menschliche Selbstverständnis. Während sich der Mensch in Abgrenzung zu Tier und Natur als kultiviertes und autonom handelndes Wesen definiert, steht er angesichts der zunehmenden Technologisierung nun vor der Frage: Was bedeutet Menschsein vor dem Hintergrund der neuen Technologien? Wie verändern sich die menschliche Lebenswelt, Verantwortungsstrukturen und Identitätskonzepte? Was können Menschen, was Technologien nicht können? Was macht den Menschen aus und wo wird er in Frage gestellt? Der Band bietet einen umfassenden Blick auf diese Fragestellungen. Im ersten Teil befassen sich Beiträge aus der Philosophie und Anthropologie mit dem Spannungsfeld Mensch-Maschine. Die anschließenden Beiträge eröffnen interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf die technisierte Lebenswelt des Menschen in den Bereichen Kultur, Kommunikation und Bildung. Im letzten Teil des Bandes wird schließlich als Kontrapunkt das Menschsein in einer technisierten Welt aus der Perspektive von Spiritualität und Pflege in den Blick genommen.

Mental Disorders and Disabilities Among Low-Income Children
by Thomas F. BoatChildren living in poverty are more likely to have mental health problems, and their conditions are more likely to be severe. Of the approximately 1. 3 million children who were recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits in 2013, about 50% were disabled primarily due to a mental disorder. An increase in the number of children who are recipients of SSI benefits due to mental disorders has been observed through several decades of the program beginning in 1985 and continuing through 2010. Nevertheless, less than 1% of children in the United States are recipients of SSI disability benefits for a mental disorder. At the request of the Social Security Administration, "Mental Disorders and Disability Among Low-Income Children" compares national trends in the number of children with mental disorders with the trends in the number of children receiving benefits from the SSI program, and describes the possible factors that may contribute to any differences between the two groups. This report provides an overview of the current status of the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders, and the levels of impairment in the U. S. population under age 18. The report focuses on 6 mental disorders, chosen due to their prevalence and the severity of disability attributed to those disorders within the SSI disability program: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder/conduct disorder, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, learning disabilities, and mood disorders. While this report is not a comprehensive discussion of these disorders, "Mental Disorders and Disability Among Low-Income Children" provides the best currently available information regarding demographics, diagnosis, treatment, and expectations for the disorder time course - both the natural course and under treatment.

Mental Health Policy in South Africa: Exploring Problem Representation (Routledge Studies in Health in Africa)
by Pieter Fourie Claire Morrison Ubanesia AdamsThis book investigates how mental health in South Africa is conceptualised and constructed in public policy. Critiquing embedded assumptions within existing policy documentation, the book advocates for policy solutions centred on poverty alleviation and economic development.Mental health in South Africa has historically been neglected within the health-care system, a stark reality underscored by the Life Esidimeni tragedy, which exposed widespread mismanagement, negligence, and insufficient resources in mental health-care services. While South Africa has enacted progressive mental health policies, their effective implementation remains hindered by systemic challenges. This book investigates the dominant problems represented in mental health policies, including the segregation of mental health from general health services, inadequate intersectoral collaboration in mental health care, community disconnection from mental health services, the association between poverty and mental health issues, and infringements upon the rights of individuals with mental health problems. Overall, the book underscores mental health as a socio-economic issue, requiring new policy solutions.This book will be an essential read for mental health professionals and policy makers in South Africa, as well as for researchers working on the good governance of mental health, both within the country and at global and multilateral levels.
Mental Health Practitioner's Guide to HIV/AIDS
by Sana LoueAlthough efforts have been made and continue to be made to reduce the rate of HIV transmission in the U.S. and globally, the rates continue to increase in the majority of countries. In the U.S., members of minority communities remain especially at risk of HIV transmission. An individual's discovery that he or she has contracted HIV, or that a loved one has contracted the illness, often raises significant issues that necessitate interaction with mental health professionals. Mental Health Practitioner's Guide to HIV/AIDS serves as a quick desk reference for professionals who may be less familiar with the terminology used in HIV/AIDS care and services.
Mental Health Public Policy in Global Context: A Comparative Study of Policy Transfer in Samoa and Tonga
by Timothy Philip FadgenThis book explores the development of mental health systems in the Pacific Island Countries (PICs) of Samoa and Tonga through an examination of several policy transfer events from the colonial to the contemporary. Beginning in the 1990s, mental health became an area of global policy concern as reflected in concerted international organisation and bilateral aid and development agendas, most notably those of the World Bank, World Health Organization, and the governments of Australia and New Zealand. This book highlights how Tonga and Samoa both reformed their respective mental health systems during these years, after relatively long periods of stagnation.Using recent scholarship concerning public policy transfer, this book explains these policy outcomes and expands it to include consideration of the historical institutional dimensions evidenced by contemporary mental health systems. This book considers three distinct levels of policy implicated in mental health system transfer processes from developed to developing nations: colonial authority and influence; decolonisation processes; and the global development agenda surrounding health systems. In the process, the author argues that there are in fact three levels of policy change that must be accounted for in examining contemporary policy change. These policy levels include formal policy transfers, which tend to be prescriptive, involving professional problem construction and the designation of appropriate state apparatus for curative or custodial care provision; quasi-formal transfers, which tend to be aspirational and involve policy instruments developed through collaborative, participatory processes; and informal transfers that tend to be normative and include practices by professional actors in delivering service merged with traditional cultural beliefs as to disease aetiology as well as reflecting a deep understanding of the cultural context within which the services will be delivered. This book argues that a renewed focus on the importance of public policy and government institutional capacity is necessary to ensure human rights and justice are secured.

Mental Health and Palestinian Citizens in Israel (Indiana Series in Middle East Studies)
by Itzhak Levav Edited by Muhammad M. Haj-Yahia Ora NakashMinorities face particular social strains, and these are often manifested in their overall mental health. In Israel, just under a quarter of the citizens are Arab Palestinians, yet very little has been published exploring the spectrum of mental health issues prevalent in this population. The work collected here draws on the first-hand experience of experts working with Israeli Palestinians to highlight the problems faced by service users, their families, and their communities. Palestinians in Israel face unique social, gender, and family-related conditions that also need reliable research and assessment. Mental Health and Palestinian Citizens in Israel offers research and observation on three central topics: socio-cultural determinants of mental health, mental health needs, and mental health service utilization. From suicidal behaviors and addiction to generational trauma and the particular concerns of children and the elderly, this broad and careful collection of research opens new dialogues on treatment, prevention, and methods for providing the best possible care to those in need.
Mental Health in the War on Terror: Culture, Science, and Statecraft
by Neil Krishan AggarwalNeil Krishan Aggarwal's timely study finds that mental-health and biomedical professionals have created new forms of knowledge and practice in their desire to understand and fight terrorism. In the process, the state has used psychiatrists and psychologists to furnish knowledge on undesirable populations, and psychiatrists and psychologists have protected state interests.Professional interpretation, like all interpretations, is subject to cultural forces. Drawing on cultural psychiatry and medical anthropology, Aggarwal analyzes the transformation of definitions for normal and abnormal behavior in a vast array of sources: government documents, professional bioethical debates, legal motions and opinions, psychiatric and psychological scholarship, media publications, and policy briefs. Critical themes emerge on the use of mental health in awarding or denying disability to returning veterans, characterizing the confinement of Guantánamo detainees, contextualizing the actions of suicide bombers, portraying Muslim and Arab populations in psychiatric and psychological scholarship, illustrating bioethical issues in the treatment of detainees, and supplying the knowledge and practice to deradicalize terrorists. Throughout, Aggarwal explores this fascinating, troublesome transformation of mental-health science into a potential instrument of counterterrorism.
Mental Illness in the Workplace: Psychological Disability Management (Psychological and Behavioural Aspects of Risk)
by Henry G. Harder Shannon Wagner Josh RashThe extent of mental illness concerns in the workforce is becoming increasingly apparent. Stress, depression, anxiety, workplace bullying and other issues are costing businesses billions every year in lost productivity, poor treatments and employee retention. Unless appropriately addressed, issues related to mental illness difficulties will result in stiff financial, organizational, and human costs for organizations. The authors of Mental Illness in the Workplace provide a practical guide to identifying, understanding, treating and preventing individual and organizational mental health issues. They illustrate how organizations can save money and improve the health and well-being of their employees by using a psychological disability management approach in the treatment and accommodation of mental illness issues. Drawing on empirical evidence from North America, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, the book is in three parts. The first addresses the scope of mental health issues in the workplace. The second part describes the most common mental illnesses found in the workplace, while the third focuses on prevention and treatment of mental health issues. This book will meet the needs of human resources professionals, administrators of employee assistance programs, industrial and organizational psychologists, mental health practitioners, those teaching or studying psychology and disability management, and more generally will serve to enlighten students of business management and practicing managers regarding a major workforce risk factor.

Mental Retardation: Determining Eligibility For Social Security Benefits
by Committee on Disability Determination for Mental RetardationCurrent estimates suggest that between one and three percent of people living in the United States will receive a diagnosis of mental retardation. Mental retardation, a condition characterized by deficits in intellectual capabilities and adaptive behavior, can be particularly hard to diagnose in the mild range of the disability. The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides income support and medical benefits to individuals with cognitive limitations who experience significant problems in their ability to perform work and may therefore be in need of governmental support. Addressing the concern that SSA’s current procedures are consistent with current scientific and professional practices, this book evaluates the process used by SSA to determine eligibility for these benefits. It examines the adequacy of the SSA definition of mental retardation and its current procedures for assessing intellectual capabilities, discusses adaptive behavior and its assessment, advises on ways to combine intellectual and adaptive assessment to provide a complete profile of an individual's capabilities, and clarifies ways to differentiate mental retardation from other conditions.
Mentale Gesundheit für Polizei und Rettungskräfte: Psychologische Grundlagen und Werkzeuge für Einsatzkräfte
by Monika Pientka„Halte ich das noch bis zur Rente durch?“ Diese Frage hört man immer häufiger von Einsatzkräften der Feuerwehr, der Schutz- und Kriminalpolizei sowie der Ordnungsbehörden. Die alltäglichen Herausforderungen sind enorm und bringen neben körperlichen vor allem auch psychische Belastungen mit sich. Hilfsangebote zur psychischen Stabilisierung decken nicht den Bedarf und werden nur verzögert angepasst. Umso wichtiger ist es für die Berufsgruppen der Blaulichtorganisationen, ihre Selbstfürsorge zu stärken. Dr. Monika Pientka bietet theoretisch fundierte Lösungsansätze und zeigt praxisnah, wie Einsatzkräfte ihre mentale Gesundheit und psychische Belastbarkeit stärken können. Unterstützt durch physiologische und neurologische Erkenntnisse werden verschiedene psychologische Aspekte wie Kommunikation, Entscheidungsfindung, Stressbewältigung und Resilienz thematisiert. Es wird gezeigt, wie auch in schwierigen Situationen und bei hoher Belastung psychische Gesundheit und Leistungsfähigkeit erhalten werden können. Emotional und bildhaft dargestellte Fallbeispiele helfen dabei, die Konzepte nachhaltig zu verinnerlichen und im Berufsalltag anzuwenden. Der Inhalt Teil 1 – Psychologie im (persönlichen) Einsatz – für wen ist das Buch gedacht? Teil 2 – Warum ein Trauma wirkt, wie es wirkt – die Einflussebenen Ereignis, Bewertung und Reaktion Teil 3 – Das mentale Immunsystem stärken
Mentalisieren in der Heimerziehung: Eine qualitative Untersuchung zu reflexiven Prozessen bei pädagogischen Fachkräften
by Noëlle BehringerDas Buch versteht sich als Beitrag zur mentalisierungsbasierten Pädagogik, die als noch recht junges pädagogisches Konzept der Prämisse folgt, dass durch eine mentalisierende Haltung von Fachkräften ein reflexiver Bezugsrahmen etabliert wird, der zu professionellem Handeln in der pädagogischen Arbeit mit belasteten Kindern und Jugendlichen beiträgt. Im Rahmen eines qualitativen Forschungsdesigns wurden mentalisierungsfokussierte Fallbesprechungen in einer stationären Jugendhilfeeinrichtung durchgeführt und auf Mentalisierungsprozesse sowie deren Bedingungsfaktoren hin untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass gelingende Mentalisierungsprozesse sowohl von den Fachkräften selbst als auch von reflexionsanregenden Interventionen der Forscherin initiiert werden. Scheiternde Mentalisierungsprozesse zeigten sich zumeist bei Konflikten unter den Fachkräften oder beim Thematisieren von Kränkungen und Grenzüberschreitungen durch die betreuten Jugendlichen. Aus den Erkenntnissen werden Implikationen für die Gestaltung mentalisierungsfokussierter Fallbesprechungen in der Heimerziehung in Form von Leitsätzen, einem Leitfaden und einer Fragensammlung abgeleitet.
Mentira: Un asesino en serie está matando a los políticos estadounidenses que no hacen su trabajo.
by K'Anne MeinelEstaba enfadada. Estaba harta. Era hora de hacer justicia con los jueces y otros políticos que no estaban haciendo su trabajo, especialmente los que habían mentido para obtener sus puestos en nuestro sistema político. Habían olvidado que eran funcionarios públicos y que debían responder ante el pueblo estadounidense. No era la única que había pensado en expulsarlos, pero eso ya no funcionaba. Era el momento de infundir miedo a quienes se dedicaban a la política y habían utilizado su posición de poder para llenarse los bolsillos. Hubo un tiempo en el que ser funcionario público, entrar en política, había sido algo honorable. Ese tiempo había pasado y no había integridad en la política. Ella estaba a punto de hacer lo que consideraba honorable, eliminando a esos aduladores del sistema. Aunque los acontecimientos de este libro pueden ser similares a hechos reales, todos los personajes son ficticios y cualquier parecido con personas reales es puramente intencionado.
