Life as Noah knew it had ended. Now an orphan, he had to say goodbye to the one person left in the world he loved, his sister, Faith. She waved frantically as the train track curved to the north, taking him further away from her, and the life he knew and loved. Everything had happened so fast, and Noah wasn't sure when he would see her again, but he was determined to find a way for them to stay together. What lay ahead for Noah? He could never have imagined the things he would see and do in the year to come. The people he would meet, and the work he would do, would change him, but he vowed to keep his promises to the sad little girl he left on a train platform. Chugging down the tracks in a steaming metal behemoth told Noah he had entered a strange new world. It was a world he'd have to use every bit of strength and wits he had to survive.

'The Black Book - On Death' stands for everything that is difficult in life. It is the darkness thatabsorbs us once in a while, and can remove all the other colours when given too much power. It is the hard space that deals with fear, anxiety, pain, grief, suffering and sorrow, but which, is all just an indication of how much life means.

Opening the Black Box

Opening the Black Box: Contextual Drivers of Social Accountability fills an important knowledge gap by providing guidance on how to assess contextual drivers of social accountability effectiveness. This publication aims to more strategically support citizen engagement at the country level and for a specific issue or problem.The report proposes a novel framing of social accountability as the interplay of constitutive elements: citizen action and state action, supported by three enabling levers: civic mobilization, interface and information. For each of these constitutive elements, the report identifies 'drivers' of contextual effectiveness which take into account a broad range of contextual factors (e.g., social, political and intervention-based, including information and communication technologies).Opening the Black Box offers detailed guidance on how to assess each driver. It also applies the framework at two levels. At the country level, the report looks at 'archetypes' of challenging country contexts, such as regimes with no formal space or full support for citizen-state engagement and fragile and conflict-affected situations. The report also illustrates the use of the framework to analyze specific social accountability interventions through four case studies: Sierra Leone, Pakistan, Yemen, and the Kyrgyz Republic.

Black Print with a White Carnation

Black Print with a White Carnation

Amy Helene Forss

University of Nebraska Press
2014
pokkari
Mildred Dee Brown (1905–89) was the cofounder of Nebraska's Omaha Star, the longest running black newspaper founded by an African American woman in the United States. Known for her trademark white carnation corsage, Brown was the matriarch of Omaha's Near North Side—a historically black part of town—and an iconic city leader. Her remarkable life, a product of the Reconstruction era and Jim Crow, reflects a larger American history that includes the Great Migration, the Red Scare of the post–World War era, civil rights and black power movements, desegregation, and urban renewal.Within the context of African American and women's history studies, Amy Helene Forss's Black Print with a White Carnation examines the impact of the black press through the narrative of Brown's life and work. Forss draws on more than 150 oral histories, numerous black newspapers, and government documents to illuminate African American history during the political and social upheaval of the twentieth century. During Brown's fifty-one-year tenure, the Omaha Star became a channel of communication between black and white residents of the city, as well as an arena for positive weekly news in the black community. Brown and her newspaper led successful challenges to racial discrimination, unfair employment practices, restrictive housing covenants, and a segregated public school system, placing the woman with the white carnation at the center of America's changing racial landscape.

The team behind Disegno: A Quarterly Journal of Design is proud to announce Design Reviewed, a new biannual publication devoted to experiential writing around design and its users. Each issue of Design Reviewed contains ten essays in which writers get hands-on with design and its various manifestations in the world. The texts are not qualitative assessments of their subjects, but rather personal reflections on design and the contexts in which it operates. This issue is structured around ten different forms of design output: technology, ecology, media, object, body, system, interface, policy, space and phenomena. While these categories are not exhaustive, they aim to provide a structuring principle for a discipline that is increasingly diffuse and varied. In contrast to Disegno s journal format, Design Reviewed is a smaller, more book-like publication, which takes its cue from publications such as field guides, jotters and technical manuals. It is a publication designed to be portable and handy, with a cream dust jacket to help protect it during journeys. While Disegno will be reserved for long-form reporting, in-depth interviews, and emerging project stories, Design Reviewed will be a space for reflection on design as its users experience it

Der er en blind vinkel i forhold til ulighed i sundhed i Danmark. Vi fødes lige, men derfra udvikler vores helbred sig meget forskelligt. Sundhedsfremme i kommuner og lokalsamfund. Mellem forskning, planlægning og praksis går tæt på planlægning af sundhedsfremme og praksis ud fra en holistisk og sociologisk tilgang til sundhed. Fokus er på, at sociale forhold påvirker menneskers fysiske helbred, mentale trivsel og sociale situation. Ulighed i sundhed præsenteres som et komplekst fænomen, hvor individuelle, organisatoriske og samfundsmæssige dynamikker er relateret til hinanden. I første del af bogen præsenterer forfatterne udvalgte perspektiver, begreber og flerstrengede metoder, som favner sundhedsfremme i sin kompleksitet, og som er understøttende for praksis i forhold til at fremme lighed i sundhed. I anden del af bogen kommer praksis tættere på, når forfatterne ved hjælp af cases går dybere ind i den fælles problemstilling vedrørende bekæmpelse af ulighed i sundhed. De giver hermed indblik i, hvordan planlægningsmodeller og -koncepter kan overføres og anvendes i kommunale og lokale initiativer møntet på sundhedsfremmende indsatser. Bogen er skrevet af forskere og undervisere i sundheds- og samfundsvidenskab. Den henvender sig til studerende ved de sundhedsfaglige, socialfaglige og samfundsvidenskabelige uddannelser på universiteter og i UC-miljøer.

Der er ikke længere nogen tvivl. Klimaforandringer, artstab, forsuring af verdenshavene, forurening af drikkevand, ekstremt vejr og udpining af jord er alle videnskabeligt veldokumenterede kriser, der hører til dagens orden i det 21. århundrede. Menneskelige aktiviteter har sat omfattende spor i jordens økosystemer, og er ophav til de igangværende miljø- og klimamæssige kriser. Mennesker er også kreative og ansvarlige for at løse problemerne. Grøn samfundsteori – tanker til en økologisk krisetid er et vigtigt og rettidigt analytisk værk. Bogen introducerer til et bredt udsnit af de vigtigste tænkere, debatter og bevægelser, som beskæftiger sig med de økologiske kriser, og kommer omkring alt fra Haraway, Latour, Shiva og nye tænkere fra det globale syd til økoreligion, regenerativt landbrug, grøn dannelse, klimaaktivisme og meget, meget mere. Er man interesseret i at komme dybere ned i nogle af tidens sværeste dilemmaer, finder man i bogen et indblik i, hvordan førende stemmer inden for samfundsvidenskab, økologisk tænkning og klimaforandringer går til de igangværende kriser. Og inspiration til selv at tænke videre. Bogen er redigeret af Simon Kjær Hansen, Stine Krøijer og Lars Tønder.

Videnskabs- og teknologistudier (STS) er et internationalt forskningsfelt, som undersøger hvordan videnskab, samfund og teknologi samskabes. Bogen er tænkt som en ny og opdateret introduktion til STS som felt, og kapitlerne giver forskellige bud på, hvordan videnskab, teknologi og samfund væves ind i hinanden. Klimaforandringer, googlebriller, fertilitetsbehandling, genmodificerede fødevarer, digitalisering og postfaktualitet optræder bl.a. i denne bog som aktuelle eksempler på hvordan videnskab og teknologi påvirker samfundsforhold stærkere end nogensinde før. Men eksemplerne viser også, at teknologi, videnskab og vores opfattelse af naturen i lige så høj grad er præget af sociale forhold og processer. Bogen er redigeret af Peter Danholt, lektor på Institut for Kommunikation og Kultur, Aarhus Universitet, og Christopher Gad, lektor på IT-universitetet, København. Derudover er der kapitler forfattet af Stine Willum Adrian, Casper Andersen, Mikkel Bille, Andreas Birkbak, Anders Blok, Lasse Blond, Claus Bossen, Maja Horst, Klaus Høyer, Casper Bruun Jensen, Torben Elgaard Jensen, Henriette Langstrup, Peter Lauritsen, Kristian Hvidtfelt Nielsen, Finn Olesen, Helene Ratner, Søren Riis, Kasper Schiølin og Brit Ross Winthereik.

Her decision to defend Anna attracts a huge backlash from the press and the community. And when local racist groups pick up on the story, Lilly's family and friends become a target. Can Lilly follow her conscience and defend Anna – or is this case just too close to home?

This book explores the multifaceted experience of suffering in old age. Older adults suffer from a variety of causes such as illness, loss, and life disappointment, to name a few. Suffering also occurs due to experiences related to one's gender, ethnic background, and religion. Although gerontological literature has equated suffering with depression, grief, pain and sadness, elders themselves distinguished suffering from these concepts and at the same time showed how they are linked. Narratives of suffering from community-dwelling elders are interpreted in this book, along with the personal meaning of suffering that lies within each narrative.
