This report presents an economic framework for estimating a water agency's avoided costs and environmental benefits of increasing water-use efficiency. The report demonstrates this framework by evaluating the benefits of Denver Water's efficiency programs and utilizes an exploratory modeling approach to accommodate significant uncertainty. The analysis highlights the importance of considering both long- and short-run costs and benefits.

Mamma, moderskap - orden bågnar idag av nya innebörder när tekniken och samhället förändras. Överallt hittar vi historier om moderskap i romaner, essäer, dikter, patientupplevelser, bloggar och digitala diskussionstrådar. Både i litteraturen och verkligheten handlar det om ensamhet och social isolering, men också om styrka och gemenskap.Mamma hursomhelst är en samling berättelser som reflekterar över erfarenheter från en mängd olika håll. Här blandas bidrag från forskare, kulturskribenter och skönlitterära författare. Boken innehåller berättelser om förlossningsdepression, om att vara pappa och gravid, om BB-vård, mor-dotterrelationer, tankar kring att vara adoptivmor, om att inte vilja eller inte kunna få barn, om att vara mamma i ett nytt land med ett nytt språk och mycket annat. En del texter handlar om djupt traumatiska upplevelser. Andra är skarpa och roliga granskningar som synliggör invanda mönster och vanetänkande. Boken inspirerar till samtal och idéer om ett högaktuellt ämne.Medverkande: Aase Berg, Ulrika Dahl, Emma Eleonorasdotter, Kristin Eliasson, Jenny Engström Baron, Erik Masao Eriksson, Margaretha Fahlgren, Gabriele Griffin, Anneli Jordahl, Christian Lenemark, Merete Mazzarella, Cilla Naumann, Cecilia Pettersson, Christine Rubertsson, Sigrid Schottenius Cullhed, Anna Soltorp, Maria Svenning, Sara Sylvén, Cecilia Torudd, Helena Wahlström Henriksson, Anna Williams.

Thrown a Curve

Thrown a Curve

She has never known her mother. Her father seems to hate her. She has only one true friend, who is a boy. A mediocre student and a social misfit, she is downright miserable. This is the life of Taylor Dresden, a freshman in a gritty New Jersey high school. The only pleasure she has ever had was playing baseball. But at the age of eight, she stopped playing when she overheard her dad say how embarrassed he was by her talent -- that it far exceeded his sons'. As a fourteen-year-old struggling to find her true self among the ruins of her life, Taylor is branded a juvenile delinquent after a single incident of vandalism, committed at her own school. Her guidance counsellor, instead of pressing charges on the school's behalf, offers her an alternate punishment -- join the baseball team and talk regularly to him. Forced to play baseball once again, Taylor feels that life has thrown her a few too many curves. None of the boys want her on the team. No girls are her friend. Her dad ignores her. Her one friend complicates their relationship by becoming a possible love interest.Eventually, after several baseball games and several sessions with her guidance counsellor, Taylor begins to gain the self-confidence she needs to straighten out her life. She realises she has real talent as a pitcher, especially with her killer curveball. She begins to accept the friendship of other girls. She starts to enjoy a romance with her best friend. She even attempts to improve the dreadful relationship she has with her distant dad. Taylor's story reflects the plight of every adolescent who has struggled with self-worth and identity, with relational problems between parents and peers, and with finding a niche in this imperfect world. Though Taylor is not a fairy-tale heroine, she gradually comes to know that no matter how many curves life throws at her, she is quite capable of throwing them right back.

There was a time when all was right in Taylor Dresden's world -- that is, as long as she was on the baseball diamond, pitching with all her heart. But that was years ago. Now, as she heads toward her senior year, the magic is gone. There's no competition in her New Jersey high school, and summer league is not much better. With the scouts losing interest on account of her poor grades, and with the challenge of the game gone, Taylor has made a difficult decision: She won't be playing her senior year. Everything changes when a local, elite, all-boys prep school recruits Taylor for its own baseball team. One of the first three girls ever to attend, Taylor begins to see that she genuinely does have the opportunity to create some real change in her life, her way -- and just maybe for the better. But the Hazelton School is a rich boy's world, its student body run by the Statesmen -- an organisation determined to force Taylor and the other girls out of their school. Their leader, Sam Barrett, may well be more than he seems, but in a school where not only the sports, but the classes too, are harder than ever, Taylor may never have a chance to find out.Taylor knows she's a great pitcher, but can she be a great student? Can she succeed in the face of devious boys who will stop at nothing to get rid of her? Will she rise above them or sink to their level -- or will she be gone before she can do either? Singled Out, the exciting sequel to Thrown a Curve, will answer these questions as Taylor struggles to find her place beyond the pitcher's mound.

Deconstructing Health Inequity

Deconstructing Health Inequity

Timothy A. Carey; Sara J. Tai; Robert Griffiths

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2021
sidottu
This book offers a radically different perspective on the topic of health inequity. Carey, Tai, and Griffiths use Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) to deconstruct current approaches to understanding, investigating, and addressing problems of health inequity. In the book, the authors propose that health inequity is not a problem per se. Disrupted control, they argue, is the problem that needs to be addressed. From this perspective, research, policy, and health practices directed at addressing health inequity in isolation will offer only partial solutions to the problems created by disrupted control. Addressing problems of disrupted control directly, however, has the potential to entirely resolve issues that are created by health inequity. The authors have extensive clinical and research experience in a wide range of contexts, including: cross-cultural settings; rural, remote, and underserved communities; community mental health settings; prisons; schools; and psychiatric wards. Drawing on these diverse experiences, the authors describe how adopting a Perceptual Control Theory perspective might offer promising new directions for researchers and practitioners who have an interest in addressing issues of inequity and social justice. With a Foreword written by Professor Neil Gilbert this book will provide fresh insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers in the fields of public health, psychology, social policy, and healthcare.

Sakine Cansiz

Pluto Press

pokkari
The bitter struggle of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, against the Turkish state has delivered inspirational but often tragic stories. This memoir by Kurdish revolutionary Sakine Cansiz is one of them. Sakine, whose code name was 'Sara', co-founded the PKK in 1974 and dedicated her life to its cause. On the 9 January 2013 she was assassinated in Paris in circumstances that remain officially unresolved. This is the first chapter of her iconic life, leading up to her arrest in 1979, penned as dramatic events unfolded against the backdrop of the Turkish revolutionary left. She writes about the excitement of entering the movement as a young woman, discovering she would have to challenge traditional gender roles as she rose amongst its ranks. She was one of the first to demand the recruitment and education of female revolutionaries, and demanded total gender equality within the PKK, which is now one of its central tenets. Today, 'Sara' is an inspiration to women fighting for liberation across the world. This is her story in her own words, and is in turns shocking, violent and path-breaking. Translated by Janet Biehl.

The second instalment in a gripping memoir by Sakine Cansiz (codenamed 'Sara') chronicles the Kurdish revolutionary's harrowing years in a Turkish prison, following her arrest in 1979 at the age of 21. Jailed for more than a decade for her activities as a founder and leader of the Kurdish freedom movement, she faced brutal conditions and was subjected to interrogation and torture. Remarkably, the story she tells here is foremost one of resistance, with courageous episodes of collective struggle behind bars including hunger strikes and attempts at escape. Along the way she also presents vivid portraits of her fellow prisoners and militants, a snapshot of the Turkish left in the 1980s, a scathing indictment of Turkey's war on Kurdish people - and even an unlikely love story. The first prison memoir by a Kurdish woman to be published in English, this is an extraordinary document of an extraordinary life. Translated by Janet Biehl.
