Il finanziamento dell'assistenza sanitaria ha avuto una storia travagliata in Ghana. Come altre nazioni in via di sviluppo nei tempi moderni, il governo del Ghana non ha altra scelta se non quella di stabilire una politica sostenibile di finanziamento dell'assistenza sanitaria per tutti i ghanesi. L'obiettivo di questo libro è esaminare se l'introduzione di un Programma Nazionale di Assicurazione Sanitaria (NHIS) possa fornire e migliorare il servizio sanitario in Ghana. L'introduzione del NHIS dovrebbe contribuire a ridurre le barriere finanziarie che per decenni hanno negato alla gente comune l'accesso all'assistenza sanitaria. Sebbene il sistema sanitario sembri fare progressi nel soddisfare le esigenze di base della popolazione del Ghana, il continuo esodo di operatori sanitari qualificati, la mancanza di leadership, la corruzione e la debolezza delle capacità istituzionali rimangono un ostacolo importante. Ci sono anche molte ragioni convincenti per cui l'NHIS dovrebbe essere un successo. Alcuni dei punti lodevoli sono la filosofia dell'NHIS, la popolarità della politica, le componenti istituzionali esistenti e l'impegno generale dello Stato nei confronti del programma.

Le financement des soins de santé a connu une histoire mouvementée au Ghana. Comme d'autres nations en développement à l'époque moderne, le gouvernement ghanéen n'a d'autre choix que d'établir une politique durable de financement des soins de santé pour tous les Ghanéens. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de déterminer si l'introduction d'un régime national d'assurance maladie (NHIS) permettra de fournir et d'améliorer les services de santé au Ghana. L'introduction du NHIS doit contribuer à réduire les obstacles financiers qui empêchent les gens ordinaires d'accéder aux soins de santé depuis des décennies. Bien que le système de santé semble faire des progrès pour répondre aux besoins fondamentaux de la population ghanéenne, l'exode continu des travailleurs de la santé qualifiés, le manque de leadership, la corruption et la faible capacité institutionnelle restent un obstacle majeur. Il existe également de nombreuses raisons convaincantes pour lesquelles le NHIS devrait être un succès. Certains des points louables sont la philosophie du NHIS, la popularité de la politique, les composantes institutionnelles qui sont en place et l'engagement global de l'État envers le régime.

Courts, regulatory tribunals, and international bodies are often seen as a last line of defense for environmental protection. Governmental bodies at the national and provincial level enact and enforce environmental law, and their decisions and actions are the focus of public attention and debate. Court and tribunal decisions may have significant effects on environmental outcomes, corporate practices, and raise questions of how they may best be effectively and efficiently enforced on an ongoing basis. Environment in the Courtroom, Volume II examines major contemporary environmental issues from an environmental law and policy perspective. Expanding and building upon the concepts explored in Environment in the Courtroom, it focuses on issues that have, or potentially could be, the subject of judicial and regulatory tribunal processes and decisions. This comprehensive work brings together leading environmental law and policy specialists to address the protection of the marine environment, issues in Canadian wildlife protection, and the enforcement of greenhouse gas emissions regulation. Drawing on a wide range of viewpoints, Environment in the Courtroom, Volume II asks specific questions about and provides detailed examination of Canada's international climate obligations, carbon pricing, trading and emissions regulations in oil production, agriculture, and international shipping, the protection of marine mammals and the marine environment, Indigenous rights to protect and manage wildlife, and much more. This is an essential book for students, scholars, and practitioners of environmental law.

This book traces the history of urban design in tropical South East Asia with a view to offering solutions to contemporary architectural and urban problems. The book examines how pre-colonial forms and patterns from South East Asian traditional cities, overlaid by centuries of change, recall present notions of ecological and organic urbanism. These may look disorganised, yet they reflect and suggest certain common patterns that inform eco-urban design paradigms for the development of future cities.Taking a thematic approach, the book examines how such historical findings, debates and discussions can assist designers and policy makers to interpret and then instil identities in urban design across the Asian region. The book weaves a discourse across planning, urban design, architecture and ornamentation dimensions to reconstruct forgotten forms that align with the climate of place and resynchronise with the natural world, unearthing an ecologically benign urbanism that can inform the future.Written in an accessible style, this book will be an invaluable reference for researchers and students within the fields of cultural geography, urban studies and architecture.

This textbook contains the contents coming from hydraulics, hydrodynamics, chemical principles, chemical reaction engineering and bioengineering, which relates closely with fundamental principles in environmental engineering. It mainly covers principles including basic concepts, theories, methods and related equipment in fluid flow and transportation, heat transfer, absorption, chemical and biological reaction kinetics and reactors, as well as their applications in environmental engineering. At same time, the readers learns the basic viewpoints and methods commonly used in engineering technology, such as balance method, reasonable simplification, dimensional analysis method, boundary layer theory, optimization and mathematical model method. It broadens the student's understanding in solving those problems in environmental engineering, and enhances their awareness of industrialization. This book is the specialized foundation and principles for learning the professional courses of environmental engineering, such as "water pollution control," "air pollution control," "solid waste treatment and disposal" and "ecological restoration engineering", while avoiding the repetition of the contents of those professional books.

The U.S. city is undergoing constant change. In the East and Midwest, most cities were founded as trading posts on waterways. They boomed during the industrial era and reached their population peak in the mid-20th century, before suburbanization and deindustrialization caused them to decline in importance. Traces of decay were everywhere, and the prognosis for the future was conceivably poor. As Barbara Hahn shows in her book, this trend now seems to have been broken: Things are looking up again for the US city. Some of the former industrial cities have succeeded in structural change. In the south and west of the country, cities have developed into new growth centers. However, not all cities are benefiting from this positive development, and many continue to shrink at an alarming rate. As the author points out, similar processes such as neoliberalisation, deregulation, privatisation and gentrification can be observed in all cities, regardless of their location and levelof development.Due to the large number of didactically prepared graphics, the book is suitable as a study read for students and scholars. The characteristics of the U.S. city, which are elaborated on the basis of current examples, as well as the illustrative photos also illustrate the change of the U.S. city to the interested reader.

This book aims to provide an overview of crucial aspects related to the interconnection between the political economy of energy security and national security, which is of great importance globally due to high volatility and complexity. In this book, contemporary energy issues in relation to the energy security are examined, along with main vulnerabilities and challenges that have appeared lately with an impact beyond country borders and with a particular focus on the Eastern Mediterranean region. Energy security is studied on both International and European level and finally the Eastern Mediterranean region with special reference to the countries of the State of Israel and the Republic of Cyprus. The rapidly changing geopolitical environment makes energy security one of the critical areas of immediate interest that need a holistic approach. The importance of energy security in the Eastern Mediterranean region is constantly growing and requires the proper vision to enhance securityin the region. Energy is now linked to the issues of sustainable development and tackling climate change, which is also taken into account. Finally, this book is expected to contribute to the existing literature and provide an in-depth study that gives a fresh approach to the academic and political community.
