The Challenge of Children's Rights for Canada

The Challenge of Children's Rights for Canada

Katherine Covell; R. Brian Howe; J.C. Blokhuis

Wilfrid Laurier University Press
2018
nidottu
More than a quarter of a century has passed since Canada promised to recognize and respect the rights of children under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Ratification of the Convention cannot, however, guarantee that everyone will abandon proprietary notions about children, or that all children will be free to enjoy the substance of their rights in every social and institutional context in which they find themselves, including - and perhaps especially - within families. This disconnect remains one of the most important challenges to the recognition of children's rights in Canada.The authors argue that social toxins are as harmful to children's independent welfare and developmental interests as environmental toxins, and that both must be eradicated if Canada is to fulfill its commitments under the Convention. They also argue that if Canada wishes to ensure the substance of the rights outlined in the Convention are socially guaranteed, an attitudinal or cultural shift is required concerning the moral and legal status of children.This revised, expanded, and updated edition of the bestselling Challenge of Children's Rights for Canada will be of interest to academics, policymakers, parents, teachers, social workers, and human service professionals - indeed to anyone who cares about and for children.

Atheists' Challenges and Life's Poetic Dynamics with God

Atheists' Challenges and Life's Poetic Dynamics with God

Elizabeth Parker

Memoirs Publishing
2014
nidottu
Our lessons for humanity are greater than our belief in today's world of somatic luxury and amorphous dexterity with life's journey. So, to speak the truth during a time brings many opinions and procrastination against the reality of God. The denial and projection of our modern age with excessive materialism is an unwanted message for humanity. So the proselytes with amplitude coercing with everyday reasoning has become one of modern-day thinking with God as a repellent. However, the reality and reasoning of our lives from one day to next becomes embroiled within a net of desire with materialism and we forget to SEE the real value of life. To reposition our personal projection and understanding with the beauty of belief and the adventurous journey through life is now sadly diminishing into a world of complete imbalance. God is indeed personal to every single person upon this Earth and this book brings the Elementary Epigraph and Epistemology regarding Bible Quotations and ordinary living within our lives of biology. However, it is the reader who will decide about the reality and reasoning of virtue and the message that this book portrays.

Mitigating Challenges to U.S.-Russia Strategic Stability

Mitigating Challenges to U.S.-Russia Strategic Stability

Samuel Charap; John J Drennan; Luke Griffith; Edward Geist; Brian G Carlson

RAND Corporation
2022
nidottu
U.S.-Russia strategic stability is based on mutual vulnerability to retaliation, which eliminates the incentive to strike first. Yet the United States has developed capabilities that Moscow fears could be used for a first strike. These threat perceptions have become a significant source of instability. The authors examine the origins of this dynamic and its impact on bilateral stability and evaluate policy changes that could mitigate that impact.

The Challenges of Brazil's PRE-SAL

The Challenges of Brazil's PRE-SAL

Alvaro de Oliveira Terra Santos

Our Knowledge Publishing
2023
pokkari
The study of business logistics seeks to establish a coordinated management of interrelated activities, leaving behind the old concept of only approaching them separately. Ballou (2006) conceptualised logistics as the process of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient and effective flow of goods, services and information from the first production activities to the point of consumption, always in line with meeting customer expectations. In oil and gas companies such as Petrobras, this concept is becoming increasingly important, as they need to be prepared to deal with tools that require state-of-the-art technology, qualified staff capable of managing complex logistics and, above all, a vision of the future that exceeds the expectations of national demand for oil and oil products. The best way to consolidate support activities that meet expectations must be analysed and studied, with reduced costs, safety and innovations that are able to circumvent the environmental and distance biases of the Pre-Salt installations.

The Challenges Facing Britain's Coastal Communities

The Challenges Facing Britain's Coastal Communities

Sheena Asthana; Sheela Agarwal; Alex Gibson

Bristol University Press
2026
sidottu
Much has been said about the concept of the ‘left-behind’ in modern Britain and the role that this played in Brexit, but why have the many problems facing coastal communities been overlooked by the media and national policy? With evidence that coastal areas have generally borne the brunt of deprivation and may be the last to recover from the current economic downturn, the need for a sustainable model of coastal regeneration has never been greater. This book explains the factors behind the decline of coastal areas, provides new data on the ways this has manifested with respect to economic, social, health and education outcomes and suggests how policy reform can create dynamic, thriving coastal communities.

New Challenges of Parkinson's Disease

New Challenges of Parkinson's Disease

MDPI AG
2026
sidottu
An early and accurate diagnosis for Parkinson's disease (PD) is essential not only for improving prognostic outcomes but also for enabling timely therapeutic interventions. Nevertheless, achieving early diagnosis remains difficult because the characteristic symptoms of PD frequently overlap with those of other neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, current diagnostic approaches rely heavily on clinical evaluation, underscoring the need for more precise, objective methods. In this scenario, the discovery and validation of robust biomarkers have become increasingly important, as they can aid in differential diagnosis, track disease progression, and inform the development of personalized therapies-ultimately enhancing patient management and quality of life. This Reprint of the Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences features four reviews and six original research articles that explore new challenges in understanding, diagnosing, and treating Parkinson's disease. The contributions in this issue cover a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from the identification of biochemical, genetic, and epigenetic biomarkers to the application of advanced approaches, including multi-omics integration, artificial intelligence, and functional imaging. Particular attention is also given to the innovative use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and to emerging therapeutic strategies.

Technical Challenges of the U.S. Army's Ground Combat Vehicle Program

Technical Challenges of the U.S. Army's Ground Combat Vehicle Program

Congressional Budget Office

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2014
nidottu
The U.S. Army plans to spend about an additional $34 billion in 2013 dollars to develop and purchase a new armored vehicle for its infantry, the Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV). The GCV is supposed to operate across the full range of potential conflict types while providing unprecedented levels of protection for the full squad of soldiers it will carry. To achieve the Army's goals, the GCV would weigh from 64 to 84 tons, making it the biggest and heaviest infantry fighting vehicle that the Army has ever fielded-as big as the M1 Abrams tank and twice as heavy as the Bradley, the Army's current infantry fighting vehicle. Designing such a vehicle presents important technical challenges.To aid the Congress in its oversight of the GCV program, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has prepared two reports. This CBO working paper provides background information for understanding the technical challenges that the program faces. It presents the Army's technical goals for the GCV program, examines the threats that the vehicle could face in combat, and explores the variety of approaches that vehicle designers can take to protect the vehicle and its passengers and to meet the Army's other requirements. A companion report, The Army's Ground Combat Vehicle Program and Alternatives, examines the GCV program (including the number of vehicles, the production schedule, and the cost) and alternative approaches that the Army could take that would cost less but still provide substantial improvements over today's fleet of combat vehicles.
