Palliative care is one of the main rights of children with life-limiting diseases and their families. Despite this importance, many of these children and their families around the world are deprived of this service and do not receive these services. Among the reasons for not providing palliative care in many countries of the world according to literatures, we can mention the lack of knowledge of the health care team about the principles of palliative care and the lack of necessary infrastructure. This book will be written with the aim of improving the knowledge and empowerment of the treatment team in the field of the basics of supportive and palliative care for children, and by increasing their knowledge, it can help in providing these services.

Free Download Nena Galanidou, "Telling Children About the Past: An Interdisciplinary Perspective "
English | ISBN: 1879621401 | 2007 | 324 pages | PDF | 15 MB
This book brings together archeologists, historians, psychologists, and educators from different countries and academic traditions to address the many ways that we tell children about the (distant) past. Knowing the past is fundamentally important for human societies, as well as for individual development. The authors expose many unquestioned assumptions and preformed images in narratives of the past that are routinely presented to children. The contributors both examine the ways in which children come to grips with the past and critically assess the many ways in which contemporary societies and an increasing number of commercial agents construct and use the past.

Free Download Nanke Verloo, "Seeing the City: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Study of the Urban "
English | ISBN: 9463728945 | 2020 | 292 pages | PDF | 11 MB
The city is a complex object. Some researchers look at its shape, others at its people, animals, ecology, policy, infrastructures, buildings, history, art, or technical networks. Some researchers analyse processes of in- or exclusion, gentrification, or social mobility; others biological evolution, traffic flows, or spatial development. Many combine these topics or add still more topics beyond this list. Some projects cross the boundaries of research and practice and engage in action research, while others pursue knowledge for the sake of curiosity. This volume embraces this variety of perspectives and provides an essential collection of methodologies for studying the city from multiple, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary perspectives. We start by recognizing that the complexity of the urban environment cannot be understood from a single vantage point. We therefore offer multiple methodologies in order to gather and analyse data about the city, and provide ways to connect and integrate these approaches.
