| beck threshold: Cognitive Case Conceptualization Lawrence D. Needleman, 1999-05 For cognitive therapy to be successful, therapists must identify the key factors that contribute to their clients' problems. Effective cognitive case conceptualization necessarily precedes appropriate targeting and intervention selection. It requires the integration of the results of a comprehensive assessment into a strong conceptual foundation. Solidly grounded in recent research, and focusing particular attention on important new theoretical developments, this book first offers a comprehensive overview of the contemporary cognitive model of therapy. It then lays out detailed, easy-to-follow procedures for assessing within a cognitive framework, developing effective individualized cognitive case conceptualizations, and implementing state-of-the-art interventions based on them. A step-by-step guide for concisely summarizing and representing the salient features of a client's presentation is included. Extensive case histories bring to life the entire process of cognitive therapy--assessment, conceptualization, and intervention--for several clients with a variety of complex clinical problems: panic disorder with agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and chronic or recurrent major depressive disorder. Cognitive Case Conceptualization will become an indispensable desk reference for many experienced clinicians as well as trainees. |
| beck threshold: Engineering for Extremes Mark G. Stewart, David V. Rosowsky, 2021-12-16 The volume explains how risk and decision-making analytics can be applied to the wicked problem of protecting infrastructure and society from extreme events. There is increasing research that takes into account the risks associated with the timing and severity of extreme events in engineering to reduce the vulnerability or increase the resiliency of infrastructure. Engineering for extremes is defined as measures taken to reduce the vulnerability or increase the resiliency of built infrastructure to climate change, hurricanes, storms, floods, earthquakes, heat waves, fires, and malevolent and abnormal events that include terrorism, gas explosions, vehicle impact and vehicle overload. The book introduces the key concepts needed to assess the economic and social well-being risks, costs and benefits of infrastructure to extreme events. This includes hazard modelling (likelihood and severity), infrastructure vulnerability, resilience or exposure (likelihood and extent of damage), social and economic loss models, risk reduction from protective measures, and decision theory (cost-benefit and utility analyses). Case studies authored by experts from around the world describe the practical aspects of risk assessment when deciding on the most cost-efficient measures to reduce infrastructure vulnerability to extreme events for housing, buildings, bridges, roads, tunnels, pipelines, and electricity infrastructure in the developed and developing worlds. |
| beck threshold: Ulrich Beck Klaus Rasborg, 2021-12-10 This book provides a comprehensive and thorough interpretation of Beck's theory of the (world) risk society, from its original formulation up to his sudden death on New Year's Day 2015. Beck's entire body of work is divided into four interrelated phases, which are successively presented and discussed, namely: the original theory of risk society (from 1986 onwards); the theory of the world risk society (from 1996 onwards); the theory of cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitanization (from 1996 onwards); and the theory of 'metamorphosis', 'emancipatory catastrophism and 'global imagined risk communities' (2013–16). The book thus demonstrates how Beck’s concept of the (world) risk society has given us a new language or a special lens that enables us to better understand contemporary society’s complexity and its myriad of human-made uncertainties in terms of climate change, terrorist threats, global pandemics, economic crises, and migration crises. |
| beck threshold: The New Hate Arthur Goldwag, 2012-02-07 From “Birthers” who claim that Barack Obama was not born in the United States to counter-jihadists who believe that the Constitution is in imminent danger of being replaced with Sharia law, conspiratorial beliefs have become an increasingly common feature of our public discourse. In this deeply researched, fascinating exploration of the ideas and rhetoric that have animated extreme, mostly right-wing movements throughout American history, Arthur Goldwag reveals the disturbing pattern of fear-mongering and demagoguery that runs through the American grain. The New Hate takes readers on a surprising, often shocking, sometimes bizarrely amusing tour through the swamps of nativism, racism, and paranoid speculations about money that have long thrived on the American fringe. Goldwag shows us the parallels between the hysteria about the Illuminati that wracked the new American Republic in the 1790s and the McCarthyism that roiled the 1950s, and he discusses the similarities between the anti–New Deal forces of the 1930s and the Tea Party movement today. He traces Henry Ford’s anti-Semitism and the John Birch Society’s “Insiders” back to the notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and he relates white supremacist nightmares about racial pollution to nineteenth-century fears of papal plots. “The most salient feature of what I have come to call the New Hate,” Goldwag writes, “is its sameness across time and space. The most depressing thing about the demagogues who tirelessly exploit it—in pamphlets and books and partisan newspapers two centuries ago, on Web sites, electronic social networks, and twenty-four-hour cable news today—is how much alike they all turn out to be.” |
| beck threshold: Progressive Dystopia MICHAEL OZGA, 2012-02-06 We are at a crossroads in our nations history and presented with two distinct choices; liberty or tyranny. We either believe in American exceptionalism and the founding principle that man can rule himself. Or we choose a style of governance that centrally plans our very existence. We either believe in the principles espoused by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, et al...or we believe in the principles espoused by Marx, Engels, Bismarck, Lenin, et al... Following The Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin said we have a Republic if we can keep it. A warning against apathy and a call to arms that freedom requires eternal vigilance. Reagan planted his flag and asked, if not us who, if not now, when? We are presented with a choice, between a style of government whereby the power is derived from the people and a style of government that usurps all power from the governed. Progressivism is a villainous perfidy and a style of government completely antithetical to our founding principles. |

It is intended to serve as a thorough introduction to the rapidly developing field of positional games. This area constitutes an important branch of combinatorics, whose aim it is to systematically develop an extensive mathematical basis for a variety of two player perfect information games. These ranges from such popular games as Tic-Tac-Toe and Hex to purely abstract games played on graphs and hypergraphs. The subject of positional games is strongly related to several other branches of combinatorics such as Ramsey theory, extremal graph and set theory, and the probabilistic method. These notes cover a variety of topics in positional games, including both classical results and recent important developments. They are presented in an accessible way and are accompanied by exercises of varying difficulty, helping the reader to better understand the theory. The text will benefit both researchers and graduate students in combinatorics and adjacent fields. |

| beck threshold: Taxation with Representation: A New Evil James C. Lewis, 2022-04-19 As politicians from both sides of the political spectrum constantly deluge the citizenry with class warfare idioms and clichés, aided by the media, regarding tax policies, we, the people, continually are told the “rich need to pay their fair share.” Or your favorite politician will tell you they are “working for the common man” or the “working-class family,” “working poor,” or the “middle class” while simultaneously creating tax policies that fail to uphold their stated objectives at best and, at worst, outright lie to the public. The politicians’ desire to be reelected outweigh their desire to be honest, and despite their own personal top 1 percent wealth, they continually tell the public they will write laws to punish these same evil rich people, themselves excluded, of course. This deception and purposeful division must end, argues first-time author James Lewis. Taxation without representation was only one of twenty-seven different grievances outlined by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence, but it is the one grievance which has become more egregious, even with representation and is easily provable to anyone who is intellectually honest. It took our government less than four years to begin abusing their new income taxation power afforded them by the passage of the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913. Tax policies have changed many times over the past 108 years, radically at times, from nominal single-digit tax brackets to wealth-crushing 94 percent top-end tax brackets affecting only select groups of Americans all the while our politicians claim fairness. Taxation with Representation: A New Evil is a historical, honest, and constitutional look at United States tax policies, their effects, “fairness,” and outcomes and lays bare who is responsible for the class warfare and division in America. This book will actually define the “middle class” (something most elected officials can’t do), reveal who is paying taxes, and demonstrate not only the inherent unfairness of our current progressive tax system but offer solutions which will not only make the system truly fair but will ensure a bright future for our posterity. There are many policy areas where we citizens can share respectful disagreements, but truth and fairness in tax policy is not one of them. |

| beck threshold: Client-centered and Experiential Psychotherapy in the Nineties Richard Balen, 1990 This voluminous book of 47 chapters offers a good cross section of what is burgeoing in the field of client-centered and experiential psychotherapy on the threshold of the nineties. it does not represent a single vision but gives the floor to the various suborientations: classics Rogerians; client-centered therapists who favor some form of integration or even eclecticism; experiential psychotherapists for whom Gendlin's focusing approach is a precious way of working; client-centered therapists who look at the therapy process in terms of information-processing; existentially oriented therapists... Remarkable is that - for the first time in the history of client-centered/experiential psychotherapy - the European voice rings through forcefully: more than half of the contributions were written by authors from Western Europe.Several chapters contain reflections on the evolution--past, present, and future--of client-centered/experiential psychotherapy. The intensive research into the process, which had a central place in the initial phase of client-centered therapy, is given here ample attention, with several creative studies and proposals for renewal. In numerous contributions efforts are made to build and further develop a theroy of psychopathology, the client's process, the basic attitudes and task-oriented interventions of the therapist. The chapters dealing with clinical practice typically aim at the description of therapy with specific client populations and paricularly severely disturbed clients. And finally a few fields are introduced which are new or barely explored within the client-centered/experiential approach: working with dreams, health psychology, couple and family therapy. |

| beck threshold: Cultural Competence for Health Professionals Jane Holstein, 2019-04-05 In recent decades, both global migration in general and specifically migration to Sweden have increased. This development compels the need for delivering healthcare to the increasingly diverse populations in Sweden. To support health professionals, for instance occupational therapists, in developing their professional knowledge in encounters with foreign-born clients a self-rating instrument measuring cultural competence is developed. This may contribute to the development of suitable services for foreignborn clients and improve person-centered interventions for these clients. The general aim of this thesis was to develop an instrument for health professionals by examining psychometric properties and utility of the Swedish version of the Cultural Competence Assessment Instrument (CCAI-S) among occupational therapists. The specific aim of study I was to evaluate the content validity and utility of the Swedish version of the Cultural Competence Assessment Instrument (CCAI-S) among occupational therapists. The study had a descriptive and explorative design. Nineteen occupational therapists participated, divided into four focus groups. Qualitative content analysis was used to examine the content validity and utility of the CCAI-S. The specific aim of study II was to examine the clinical relevance, construct validity and reliability of the Swedish version of the Cultural Competence Assessment Instrument (CCAI-S) among Swedish occupational therapists. The study had a cross-sectional design. A web-based questionnaire was e-mailed to a randomised sample of 428 occupational therapists to investigate the construct validity, reliability and utility of the CCAI-S. Factor analysis was performed as well as descriptive statistics. The findings from study I revealed high content validity for all 24 items. However, six items needed reformulations and exemplifications. Regarding utility, the results showed strong support for CCAI-S. The category ‘Interactions with clients’ showed that the CCAI-S could be utilised individually for the health professional and create a higher awareness of cultural questions in practice. The category ‘Workplace and its organisational support’ displayed potential for use in different workplaces regarding CCAI-S and indicated the importance of organisational support for health professionals in the development of cultural competence. The findings from study II regarding construct validity generated a three-factor model with the labels ‘Openness and awareness’, ‘Workplace support’ and ‘Interaction skills’. All three factors showed high factor loadings and contained 12 of the 24 original items. The Cronbach’s Alpha showed high support for the three-factor model. Concerning utility, the participants reported that all 24 items had high clinical relevance. In conclusion, the findings from the two studies indicated good measurement properties and high clinical relevance for the CCAI-S. This may sup-port the utilisation of CCAI-S in the Swedish context for health professionals, for instance occupational therapists. The results of the instrument development show that the upcoming published version of the CCAI-S can be a valuable self-assessment tool for health professionals who strive to improve in person-centred communication in encounters with foreign-born clients. CCAI-S can also be of support for the organisation to serve as a guide for what to focus on to develop cultural competence within the staff. Altogether this presumably influence the effectiveness of the healthcare and enhance the evidence of interventions for foreign-born clients. To develop an instrument is an iterative process requiring several evaluations and tests in various settings and populations. Therefore further psychometric testing and utility studies on the CCAI-S is crucial. |
| beck threshold: Learning Cultural Competence in Healthcare Jane Holstein, 2025-03-24 Background Healthcare in Sweden must provide equitable and effective care to all residents by adapting to an aging and multicultural population with varied needs. To achieve this, increased cultural competence among healthcare professionals is required. To support healthcare professionals, in developing professional knowledge in encounters with migrant persons a self-rating instrument measuring cultural competence as well as education in cultural competence can equip professionals to meet this need. Improving cultural competence in healthcare can enhance communication and patient satisfaction, reduce misunderstandings and errors, and improve overall healthcare outcomes. However, there is a lack of relevant instruments and education to learn cultural competence across various healthcare areas in Sweden. Aim The general aim of this thesis was to develop and evaluate a self-assessment instrument in cultural competence for healthcare professionals. Further the aim was to design an educational program to enhance cultural competence among healthcare professionals working in interprofessional teams. Methods This thesis consists of four studies, with varied methodology and design. In study I, 19 occupational therapists participated, divided into four focus groups. Qualitative content analysis was used to examine the content validity and utility of the CCAI-S. In study II data was collected by a web-based questionnaire based on CCAI-S to 428 occupational therapists to investigate the construct validity, reliability and utility of the CCAI-S. Factor analysis was performed as well as descriptive statistics. In study III data was collected by a web-based questionnaire based on CCAI-S to measure cultural competence in 279 healthcare professionals in interprofessional teams. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, univariate analyses and linear regression. Study IV used a co-design methodology, in which healthcare professionals (n =11), patients (n =6) and researchers (n =5) collaborated to develop an educational programme in cultural competence. The analysis in the process was integrated with data collection through an iterative and agile approach. Results The CCAI-S showed high content validity for all 24 items, though six required reformulation. It demonstrated strong utility for increasing cultural awareness among healthcare professionals and highlighted the importance of organizational support in developing cultural competence. A three-factor model was identified: 'Openness and awareness,' 'Workplace support,' and 'Interaction skills,' with high factor loadings and strong Cronbach’s Alpha support. Even though all 24 items were deemed clinically relevant based on construct validity of CCAI-S led to 13 of 24 items deemed relevant. 58% of healthcare professionals reported high levels of Openness and awareness, 35% high interaction skills, and 6% high workplace support. Cultural competence was linked to a high percentage of migrant clients and prior cultural competence development through experience or education. Professionals felt open and aware but lacked workplace support and education. A prototype of an educational programme with four modules was co-designed: cultural knowledge, reasoning, interaction, and context, each with specific learning objectives and activities to enhance cultural competence in healthcare. Conclusion The CCAI-S demonstrated good measurement properties and high clinical relevance. Most healthcare professionals felt culturally open and aware but needed more workplace support and education to improve their interaction skills and develop cultural competence. The CCAI-S can guide organizations in enhancing staff cultural competence. The educational program's clinical relevance was ensured through co-design by professionals and patients. Fostering cultural competence in healthcare is essential for meeting diverse patient needs. Prioritizing self-assessment and education can lead to a more inclusive and effective healthcare system. Bakgrund Sjukvården i Sverige måste erbjuda jämlik och effektiv vård till alla invånare genom att anpassa sig till en åldrande och mångkulturell befolkning med olika behov. För att uppnå detta krävs det ökad förståelse och kompetens hos vårdpersonal. Det är särskilt viktigt att hälso-och sjukvårdspersonal kan möta patienternas kulturella behov i ett mångkulturellt samhälle. För att stödja personalen i att utveckla professionell kunskap i möten med migranter kan ett självskattningsinstrument som mäter kulturell kompetens samt utbildning i kulturell kompetens utrusta professionella för att möta detta behov. Detta kan förbättra vården genom att förbättra kommunikationen och öka patienternas tillfredsställelse. Det minskar risken för missförstånd och fel som kan uppstå utifrån kulturella och språkliga skillnader, vilket därmed förbättrar de övergripande resultaten av insatserna. Vidare främjar en sådan utbildning jämlikhet genom att säkerställa att vår-den är anpassad till de specifika behoven hos den mångkulturella populationen, vilket hjälper till att minska hälsoskillnader. Det finns dock en brist på relevanta instrument och utbildning för att lära sig medvetenhet och utveckla kulturell kompetens inom sjukvårdens olika arbetsplatser i Sverige. Syfte Det övergripande syftet med denna avhandling var att utveckla och utvärdera ett självskattningsinstrument för kulturell kompetens för hälso-och sjukvårdpersonal. Vidare var syftet att utforma ett utbildningsprogram för att förbättra den kulturella kompetensen bland hälso-och sjukvårdpersonal som arbetar i team. Det specifika syftet med studie I var att utvärdera innehållsvaliditeten och användbarheten av CCAI-S bland arbetsterapeuter. Det specifika syftet med studie II var att undersöka den kliniska relevansen, konstruktvaliditeten och reliabiliteten av CCAI-S bland svenska arbetsterapeuter. Det specifika syftet med studie III var att beskriva den upplevda kulturella kompetensen hos primärvårdspersonal som specialiserar sig på diabetesvård och att undersöka relaterade faktorer som påverkar kulturell kompetens. I studie IV var syftet att beskriva utvecklingen av en utbildningsprototyp som förbättrar kulturell kompetens bland vårdpersonal. Metod Denna avhandling består av fyra delstudier: en med en beskrivande och utforskande design (I), två tvärsnittsbeskrivande studier (II, III) och en co-design-studie (IV). I studie I deltog 19 arbetsterapeuter, uppdelade i fyra fokusgrupper. Kvalitativ innehållsanalys användes för att undersöka innehållsvaliditeten och användbarheten av CCAI-S. I studie II skickades en webbaserad enkät till ett slumpmässigt urval av 428 arbetsterapeuter för att undersöka konstruktvaliditeten, reliabiliteten och användbarheten av CCAI-S. Faktoranalys utfördes samt beskrivande statistik. I studie III sam-lades data in via en webbaserad enkät baserad på den psykometriskt testade CCAI-S för att mäta kulturell kompetens hos 279 sjukvårdspersonal i interprofessionella team. Data analyserades med deskriptiv statistik. Univariata analyser och linjär regression användes för att undersöka sociodemografiska faktorer. Studie IV använde en co-design-metodologi, där sjukvårdpersonal (n = 11), patienter (n = 6) och forskare (n = 5) samarbetade för att utveckla ett utbildningsprogram i kulturell kompetens. Co-design-processen byggde på fem element: engagera, planera, utforska, utveckla och besluta, och datainsamlingen baserades på idégrupper med vårdpersonal och individuella patientintervjuer. Analysen i processen integrerades med datainsamlingen genom ett iterativt och agilt förhållningssätt. Resultat I delstudie I visade alla 24 frågorna i CCAI-S hög innehållsvaliditet, även om sex frågor behövde omformuleras och exemplifieras. Resultaten visade starkt stöd för användbarheten av CCAI-S, där det kunde användas individuellt av personal för att öka medvetenheten om kulturella frågor och hade potential för användning i olika interprofessionella team och arbetsplatser. Även betydelsen av organisatoriskt stöd för hälso-och sjukvårdspersonal i utvecklingen av kulturell kompetens framkom i resultatet. I delstudie II genererade konstruktionsvaliditeten en trefaktormodell med benämningarna 'Öppenhet och medvetenhet', 'Arbetsplatsstöd' och 'Interaktionsfärdigheter'. Alla tre faktorer visade höga faktorladdningar och innehöll 12 av de 24 ursprungliga itemen. Cronbach’s alpha visade starkt stöd för trefaktormodellen. Deltagarna rapporterade att alla 24 itemen hade hög klinisk relevans. Resultatet från delstudie III visade att 58% av vårdpersonalen upp-fattade att de hade en hög nivå av öppenhet och medvetenhet, 35% uppfattade att de hade en hög nivå av interaktionsfärdigheter och 6% uppfattade att de hade en hög nivå av arbetsplatsstöd. Två faktorer visade sig vara relaterade till kulturell kompetens: en hög andel patienter med migrantbak-grund på kliniken och om personalen tidigare hade utvecklat kulturell kompetens genom praktisk erfarenhet, utbildning och/eller på egen hand. De flesta av personalen ansåg sig vara öppna och kulturellt medvetna när de arbetade med patienter från olika bakgrunder men upplevde brist på arbetsplatsstöd och utbildning för att förbättra sin kulturella kompetens. Resultatet från delstudie IV var en prototyp som bestod av fyra utbildnings-moduler: 1) kulturell kunskap, 2) kulturellt resonemang, 3) kulturell interaktion och 4) kulturell kontext. Varje modul inkluderar lärandemål och aktiviteter. Konklusion Syftet med avhandlingen var att utveckla och utvärdera ett självskattnings-instrument för kulturell kompetens för hälso-och sjukvårdspersonal. Vidare var syftet att utforma en utbildning för att förbättra kulturell kompetens bland interprofessionella team i hälso-och sjukvård. Resultaten visade goda psykometriska egenskaper och hög klinisk relevans för CCAI-S. Baserat på CCAI-S kände majoriteten av personalen sig kulturellt öppna och medvetna, men de behövde mer arbetsplatsstöd för att förbättra sina inter-aktionsfärdigheter samt utbildning för att utveckla kulturell kompetens. CCAI-S kan vägleda organisationer i att utveckla kulturell kompetens hos sin personal. Utbildningens kliniska relevans för hälso-och sjukvården säkerställdes genom att personal och patienter genom co-design skapade relevant innehåll och lärandeaktiviteter för utveckling av kulturell kompetens. Sammanfattningsvis är det viktigt att främja kulturell kompetens inom hälso-och sjukvården för att möta behoven hos olika patientgrupper. Genom att prioritera självskattning och utbildning kan vi arbeta mot ett mer inkluderande och effektivt vårdsystem. |

| beck threshold: Insects at Low Temperature Richard Lee, 2012-12-06 The study of insects at low temperature is a comparatively new field. Only recently has insect cryobiology begun to mature, as research moves from a descriptive approach to a search for underlying mechanisms at diverse levels of organization ranging from the gene and cell to ecological and evolutionary relationships. Knowledge of insect responses to low temperature is crucial for understanding the biology of insects living in seasonally varying habitats as well as in polar regions. It is not possible to precisely define low temperature. In the tropics exposure to 10-15°C may induce chill coma or death, whereas some insects in temperate and polar regions remain active and indeed even able to fly at O°C or below. In contrast, for persons interested in cryopreservation, low temperature may mean storage in liquid nitrogen at - 196°C. In the last decade, interest in adaptations of invertebrates to low temperature has risen steadily. In part, this book had its origins in a symposium on this subject that was held at the annual meeting of the Entomological Society of America in Louisville, Kentucky, USA in December, 1988. However, the emergence and growth of this area has also been strongly influenced by an informal group of investigators who met in a series of symposia held in Oslo, Norway in 1982, in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in 1985 and in Cambridge, England in 1988. Another is scheduled for Binghamton, New York, USA (1990). |

| beck threshold: Fundamentals of Infrared Detector Materials Michael A. Kinch, 2007 The choice of available infrared (IR) detectors for insertion into modern IR systems is both large and confusing. The purpose of this volume is to provide a technical database from which rational IR detector selection criteria evolve, and thus clarify the options open to the modern IR system designer. Emphasis concentrates mainly on high-performance IR systems operating in a tactical environment, although there also is discussion of both strategic environments and low- to medium-performance system requirements. |
| beck threshold: Oxford Textbook of Inpatient Psychiatry Alvaro Barrera, Caroline Attard, Rob Chaplin, 2019-05-28 Inpatient mental health care is an essential part of community-based mental health care in the UK. Patients admitted to acute mental health wards are often experiencing high levels of distress and acute mental illness and need to be assessed, managed, and treated by a wide team of mental health care professionals. Inpatient care is often a traumatic experience for patients and their relatives which can define their relationship with mental health care services. Reforming inpatient psychiatry is a priority for both patients and staff, yet there are few reference texts on this psychiatric specialty. The Oxford Textbook of Inpatient Psychiatry bridges this gap by offering a comprehensive and pragmatic guide to the UK's inpatient mental health care system today. Written and edited by a multidisciplinary team, this innovative resource discusses the real-life experiences and challenges of a wide range of professionals working on acute mental health wards. Organized into 8 sections this resource covers nursing, team leadership, multidisciplinary work, psychology, and medical aspects. Individual chapters address key topics such as the management of children and adolescents, and contain information on up-to-date research and best practice. Focusing on the dignity and autonomy of patients, this unique resource offers a model for clinical and organizational practice both at a national and international level. |

| beck threshold: Low Dose Exposures in the Environment C. Streffer, H. Bolt, D. Follesdal, P. Hall, J.G. Hengstler, P. Jacob, D Oughton, K. Prieß, E. Rehbinder, E. Swaton, 2013-11-11 The ever-increasing release of harmful agents due to human activities have led in some areas of the world to heavy pollution. In order to protect human health and the environment, environmental standards that shall limit the release and the concentration of those toxic agents in the environment and hence the exposure to it have to be established. The related assessment and decision-making procedures have to be based on solid scientific data about the effects and mechanisms of these agents as well as on ethical, social and economic aspects. For risk evaluation, the knowledge of the dose response curve is an essential prerequisite. Dose responses without a threshold dose are most critical in this connection. Such dose responses are assumed for mutagenic and carcinogenic effects, which, therefore, dominate also the discussion in this book. In the environmentally important low dose range, risk estimation can only be achieved by extrapolation from higher doses with measurable effects. The extrapolation is accompanied with uncertainties which makes risk evaluation as well as risk communication frequently problematic. In order to ensure rational efficient and fair decisions beyond a sound scientific assessment the dialogue between disciplines, with the affected people and with the general public is necessary. In this book, the whole range of relevant and essential aspects of risk evaluation and standard setting is addressed. Starting with the ethical foundations, the sound analysis of recent scientific findings sets the frame for further reflections by theory of cognition, psychosocial sciences, and jurisprudence. The authors end up with concluding recommendations for coping with the recent problems of standard setting in the field of environmentally relevant low doses. The book is designed to a readership of scientists, legislators, administrators, and the interested public. |
