Teaching Qualitative Research in Public Health

# data[].attributes.description
Qualitative methods are increasingly seen as key to addressing critical public health problems. How should instructors introduce qualitative methods to public health students and prepare them to conduct and critically engage in a meaningful way? Teaching public health students about qualitative research is more than just training students to run a focus group or explaining how to know how many in-depth interviews are "enough". It starts with helping students understand the power of qualitative methods and why they can be useful in population health.

Designed as a resource for instructors teaching qualitative methods courses and classes for public health audiences, Teaching Qualitative Research in Public Health offers practical, creative ideas for designing both introductory and advanced courses and addressing the diverse learning goals of public health students inside and outside of the formal classroom. Written by experienced educators and qualitative researchers, this book discusses ways in which faculty can assist students in exploring different qualitative methods, how they should be undertaken, and how findings from qualitative studies can be analyzed and disseminated to inform public health programs and policies. 

This teaching companion offers numerous adaptable strategies, classroom-tested activities, and expert guidance to help instructors tailor their courses to diverse learning objectives and educational environments. With a focus on experiential learning, it equips educators to prepare the next generation of public health professionals with a strong foundation in qualitative research. Whether you're teaching a semester-long course, leading short-term training, or mentoring students in applied research, this book provides the tools needed to foster deep engagement and critical thinking in qualitative public health research.

In 1868 Japan opened its borders to the outside world and began a rapid modernization process which included importing European musical instruments, compositional practices, and repertoire. The operas and prose of Richard Wagner trickled into Japan during this time and, as in other parts of the world, agents in Japan manipulated the composer's prose and musical works to suit ideologies ranging from the fascist to the frivolous. 

Through the lens of global history, Japanese cultural studies, and musicology, this book presents a new way of understanding Wagnerism as it filtered through modern Japanese culture. Wagnerism is entangled in modernity, and in Japan these entanglements surfaced not only on the operatic stage, but also in sheet music, film, and popular literature. Author Brooke McCorkle Okazaki documents Wagner's opera premieres and utilizes mass media--such as film, magazines, and comics--to explore the interplay of modernity and Wagnerism in Japan. Okazaki first situates the discussion in the context of global historical methodologies, demonstrating how the story of Wagner's reception in Japan models a non-Eurocentric approach to one of musicology's most canonical composers. She then presents a series of case studies that consider how Wagnerism shaped individuals and institutions in Japan beginning from the late nineteenth century and to the present.

A Cultural History of Intergenerational Justice

# data[].attributes.description
The Future is Fiction is the first cultural history of the idea that people have an obligation to protect the world for future generations. While political philosophers have regarded intergenerational justice as an important field of study since the 1970s, the history of modern forms of obligation to the future has received almost no attention. This book traces the evolution of the Anglo-American concept of intergenerational justice, from its origins in eighteenth-century democratic revolutions to its flourishing in the 2000s. Thus, it illuminates the contours of a political conviction that has shaped modern culture.

Margolis's central claim is twofold: first, that fiction's capacity to imagine counterfactual worlds has made the most significant contribution to contemporary understandings of intergenerational justice; and second, that this contribution has been misunderstood. Rather than inspiring political change, fiction demonstrates that complex societies will inevitably clash over what counts as a good future and what should be done to bring this future into being.

From nineteenth-century utopian novels like James Fenimore Cooper's The Crater and Mary E. Bradley Lane's Mizora, to post-nuclear war dystopias, like Russell Hoban's Riddley Walker, and Walter Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz, to recent fiction about endangered children like Toni Morrison's Paradise, Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games, and Kazuo Ishiguru's Never Let Me Go, the tradition of future-oriented fiction recognizes that our obligation to the future is not the solution to an ethical problem, but an ethical dilemma in its own right.

Attribution of Non-State Actor Conduct During Armed Conflict

# data[].attributes.description
Armed conflict today involves a plethora of non-State actors including armed groups, private military companies, and hackers operating in the cyber domain. Frequently, these non-State actors act in a way that violates international law, for example by harming civilians, and they commonly act with the benefit of some form of State support. This raises critical questions about State responsibility. 

Attribution of Non-State Actor Conduct During Armed Conflict explores when and how international law attributes non-State actor conduct to a State, thereby triggering that State's international responsibility. Focusing on the six rules of attribution outlined in the International Law Commission's Articles on State Responsibility, the book provides a rigorous analysis of their practical application in the context of armed conflict. Using detailed case studies from the conflicts in Syria, Ukraine, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it examines each of the rules of attribution in turn, demonstrates when they would apply, and evaluates their effectiveness in holding States accountable for non-State actor conduct performed on their behalf. 

Critically assessing the legal and practical limitations of existing frameworks, the book argues that the predominant interpretation of the rules of attribution leaves an accountability gap, which enables States to act via proxy in a manner they could not lawfully operate via their own State organs. Combining doctrinal clarity with real-world relevance, it investigates how the inadequacies in the regulation of States' support to non-State actors in conflict situations should be remedied.

An incisive analysis of one of the most disruptive forces in modern American politics, The Right-Wing Idea Factory is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the fundamental transformation of conservatism in the Trump era and beyond.

While Donald Trump's 2024 re-election was hailed by many as a personal triumph, political scientist Donald F. Kettl argues it marked the apex of a movement that began long before Trump entered politics--and one that will continue to shape the American landscape long after he's gone.

In The Right-Wing Idea Factory, Kettl traces the rise of a revolutionary political force that has redefined the American right. Fueled by soft money and amplified by social media, a network of determined activists and organizations worked to dismantle traditional free-market conservatism and replace it with a populist agenda rooted in cultural and social issues. From abortion and gender to critical race theory, book bans, immigration, and the "deep state," this movement built a powerful new political base--one designed not just to win elections, but to reshape the rules of governance for generations.

Kettl reveals how this idea factory has profoundly influenced policy at every level of government, driving polarization and upending long-standing political norms. With sharp insight and deep research, he offers a vital account of how the American right has evolved--and what that means for the future of democracy.

Migrating Borders and Citizenship in Law

# data[].attributes.description
Borders not only demarcate nations and territories, but transform people into migrants. Hand-in-hand with law and law enforcement, borders create residents and foreigners. The law ascertains who crosses borders and who does not, and who remains foreign despite being within national borders.

Migrating Borders and Citizenship in Law argues that law has multiple roles and mechanisms for breathing life into borders, operating at different locales and scales (from worldwide to the nation; from the family to the workplace), and through different practices, for example, preventing entry or withholding access to resources. It examines case law, legislation and press accounts relating to several key events in recent times that have changed the legal landscape on migration control, such as the Immigration and Nationality Acts in the UK, the end of empire, the arrival of Empire Windrush, Brexit, Covid and the case of Shamima Begum. Focusing on race and ethnicity, gender and class, as well as crime and control, the book contextualises the legal debates around these historical and political developments, the question of who belongs, the consequences of behaviour for immigration status and citizenship, and the links with conduct and national security.

With its wide interdisciplinary framing of the law, drawing from sociology, politics, philosophy and history, this groundbreaking book will appeal to all readers with broad interests in migration studies.

Implementationsstand und Auswirkungen des Reformmodells Open Government in deutschen Grostadten

# data[].attributes.description
Das vorliegende Buch untersucht den Implementationsstand und die Auswirkungen des Reformmodells Open Government in deutschen Grostadten. Open Government zielt darauf ab, Transparenz, Partizipation und Zusammenarbeit in offentlichen Verwaltungen zu starken, um demokratische Prozesse zu fordern und die Leistungsfahigkeit des politisch-administrativen Systems zu steigern. Anhand eines zweistufigen Forschungsdesigns  einer deutschlandweiten Online-Umfrage und eines Fallstudienvergleichs  wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie weitreichend das Konzept bereits auf kommunaler Ebene umgesetzt wurde und welche Effekte auf die Input-, Throughput- und Output-Legitimitat von Grostadten nachweisbar sind. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass Transparenz als Katalysator fur Partizipation und Zusammenarbeit fungieren kann, um die kommunale Performanz zu optimieren. Gleichzeitig zeigt die Arbeit auf, welche Herausforderungen und Grenzen bei der Umsetzung von Open Government bestehen und welche Perspektiven sich daraus fur zukunftige Verwaltungsreformen ableiten lassen.

A Practical Guide to Cyber Risk Quantification

# data[].attributes.description
Cyber risk quantification (CRQ) is the practice of measuring cybersecurity risk using numbers not colors or guesswork. Instead of labeling risks high, medium, or low, CRQ uses probabilities, ranges, and impact estimates to help organizations make better, data-informed decisions about risk.
In a world where ransomware gangs operate like small businesses, every core function of an organization is digital, and Boards and regulators are demanding meaningful, defensible risk metrics, CRQ has never been more relevant than now. And thanks to AI, its about to scale fast.
At the same time, CRQ is often misunderstood as expensive, technical, or just voodoo math. People assume you need a stats degree, six-figure software, or a room full of analysts. This book is here to prove otherwise.
 
From Heatmaps to Histograms is a hands-on, plain-English guide written by a seasoned practitioner whos built CRQ programs at top global companies. Its packed with step-by-step instructions, practical tips, templates, shortcuts, AI prompts, and plenty of myth-busting to take you from CRQ skeptic to CRQ championeven if youve never cracked open a statistics book.
 
All techniques in this book can be performed in Excel or Google Sheetsno coding required. But for readers who want to go further, youll find dozens of GenAI prompts that help you generate risk scenarios, clean messy data, or even vibe-code your way through a Monte Carlo simulation in Python or R. You'll also get guidance on when to not use AI, how to spot hallucinations, and how to integrate it responsibly into your risk practice.
 
CRQ is no longer optional. This is your roadmap for making it workcheaply, ethically, and effectively.
 
What You Will Learn:

A beginner-friendly introduction to the statistical foundations of CRQ, including Monte Carlo simulations, credible intervals, Bayesian reasoning, and simple methods for summarizing uncertaintywithout requiring a math or coding background
Gather, vet, and work with dataeven when its scarce, messy, or missing
Perform full end-to-end quantitative risk assessments using only Excel or Google Sheets
Harness the power of generative AI to supercharge risk analysis workflows
Apply CRQ and GenAI responsibly and ethically, with clear guidance on common pitfalls, misuse scenarios, and ensure transparency, fairness, and trustworthiness in your analysis and reporting

This open access book introduces social aspects relevant to research and developments of explainable AI (XAI). The new surge of XAI responds to the societal challenge that many algorithmic approaches (such as machine learning or autonomous intelligent systems) are rapidly increasing in complexity, making justified use of their recommendations difficult for the users. A large body of approaches now exists with many ideas of how algorithms should be explainable or even be able to explain their output. However, few of them consider the users' perspective, and even less address the social aspects of using XAI. To fill the gap, the book offers a conceptualization of explainability as a social practice, a framework for contextual factors, and an operationalization of users' involvement in creating relevant explanations.
For this, scholars across disciplines gathered at the Shonan meeting to account for how explanation generation can be tailored to diverse users and their heterogeneous goals when interacting with XAI. As a result, social interaction is the key to the involvement of the users. Accordingly, we define sXAI (social eXplainable AI) as systems that interact with the users in such a way that an incremental adaptation of explaining to the users is possible, along with the unfolding context of interaction, to yield a relevant explanation at the interface with both active partnershuman and AI. To encourage novel interdisciplinary research, we propose to account for the following dimensions:
    Patterndness: XAI should account for different contexts that yield different social roles impacting the construction of explanations.    Incrementality: XAI should build on the contribution of the involved partners who adapt to each other.    Multimodality: XAI needs to use different communication modalities (e.g., visual, verbal, and auditory).
This book also addresses how to evaluate social XAI systems and what ethical aspects must be considered when employing sXAI. Together, the book pushes forward the building of a community interested in sXAI. To increase the readability across disciplines, each chapter offers a rapid access to its content.
