Health Equality and Social Justice in Old Age : A Frontline Perspective
"The first lesson is that success looks like whatever your patient describes it as ...Some want to be pain free, to breathe a little easier, to make it to their grand-daughter's wedding ... to be with their cats. Some want me to do everything I can to cure them, while others want to die soon."Geriatric care and the frailty of old age can sometimes be reduced to a pain score chart rather than an inevitability that needs to be approached with humanity and empathy.Dr Riaz Dharamshi combines his expertise knowledge as a nationally recognised geriatrician with the relatable, deeply empathetic stories of his patients in order to reframe the way we approach care for our elderly population. This empowering and socio-politically conscious book delves into theoretical discussions around death and old age, drawing light on how many issues arise from social and political factors that take root decades earlier.It presents practical details of an integrated model of care allowing for expert, personalised healthcare to be delivered within our communities and outside of the hospital. This is a book that encourages the question 'Who is the person to whom this is happening?' rather than just 'What is the medical problem?'.It is ultimately this approach that imbues meaning, purpose, and justice into the work of geriatric medicine and care.

Forensic Justice : A Global Perspective
Forensic science is playing an increasingly important role in criminal investigations, as it provides scientific methods and techniques to gather and analyse evidence from crime scenes.Forensic evidence can be crucial in identifying suspects, linking them to the crime scene, and helping to secure convictions in court.In this sense, forensic science is seen as an aid to criminal investigation, providing reliable and objective evidence that can be used to uncover the truth behind criminal activities. The integration of forensic science with law and criminology is creating a new era of progressive thinking, where advanced techniques are being developed to better understand the nature of crime and the behaviour of criminals.With the help of forensic science, investigators can obtain speedy justice and bring criminals to book.However, this requires appropriate measures to be taken for the efficient execution of forensic investigations, including the use of modern technology and the training of professionals in the latest forensic techniques. Given the importance of forensic science in the criminal justice system, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of its different aspects.This includes the collection, preservation, and analysis of forensic evidence, as well as the interpretation of this evidence in the context of criminal investigations. This book covers these topics in detail, providing valuable insights for professionals, practitioners, academics, and students of the related fields.

"Equality before, but justice first?"
"Equality before, but justice first" suggests that while equality is important, it should not come at the expense of justice. This phrase emphasizes the need to address systemic injustices and inequalities in order to achieve true equality. It implies that simply treating everyone the same does not necessarily address the underlying issues of discrimination and oppression. Instead, it calls for prioritizing justice in order to create a more equitable society for all.

International Negotiation and Good Governance : A Researcher-Practitioner’s Perspective
This book investigates two critical political science domains: international negotiation processes and the establishment of good governance practices, using real-world examples.The author’s observations, analyses, and recommendations provide a unique blend of researcher and practitioner experiences that were implemented in conjunction with government authorities, businesses, the media, and citizen groups in over 40 countries. The book examines negotiation process dynamics from several perspectives: the inclusion of new actors; the impact of psychology, creativity, and values; the significance of post-agreement negotiations; and how negotiations that resolve civil wars need to incorporate explicit good governance provisions.From the governance perspective, the book analyzes the age-old problem of corruption, which is often a major factor responsible for bad governance practices, economic dysfunction, and widespread poverty.It explores the importance of strengthening citizen advocacy for reforms, designing and implementing anti-corruption strategies for fragile states, customizing anti-corruption strategies through targeted risk assessments, and deconstructing the negotiation give-and-take in corrupt transactions to reduce their impact.Each chapter incorporates the author’s practitioner experiences with his research contributions, along with examples of events he experienced when implementing programs around the world. This unique volume will be used in university courses on international negotiation, conflict resolution, governance practices, international development, and comparative politics, as well as providing a useful resource for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, NGOs, donor organizations, and grant-giving organizations.

Is the cavalier perspective the same as the parallel perspective?
No, the cavalier perspective and the parallel perspective are not the same. The cavalier perspective is a type of 3D drawing where the object is shown in its true size and shape, but the depth is not shown accurately. The parallel perspective, on the other hand, is a type of 3D drawing where the object is shown with accurate depth and proportions using parallel lines to create the illusion of depth. In summary, the cavalier perspective does not accurately represent depth, while the parallel perspective does.
-
What distinguishes the parallel perspective from the vanishing point perspective?
The parallel perspective, also known as isometric perspective, does not use a vanishing point to create the illusion of depth. Instead, all lines remain parallel and do not converge towards a single point. This results in a more uniform and less realistic representation of space. In contrast, the vanishing point perspective uses a single vanishing point to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensional space, resulting in a more realistic and dynamic representation of objects and scenes.
-
What is the difference between central perspective and parallel perspective?
Central perspective, also known as one-point perspective, is a type of linear perspective where all lines converge to a single vanishing point on the horizon. This creates the illusion of depth and distance in a two-dimensional drawing or painting. On the other hand, parallel perspective, also known as two-point perspective, involves two vanishing points on the horizon line, making it suitable for depicting objects from different angles or viewpoints. In parallel perspective, objects appear more realistic and three-dimensional compared to central perspective.

Is the internal perspective and the external perspective always distinguishable?
The internal perspective and the external perspective are not always easily distinguishable. The internal perspective refers to an individual's thoughts, feelings, and experiences, while the external perspective refers to how others perceive and interpret the individual's behavior. However, these perspectives can often be intertwined, as an individual's internal experiences can influence their external behavior and how others perceive them. Additionally, individuals may not always be aware of their own internal perspective, making it difficult to separate from the external perspective. Therefore, while the two perspectives are distinct in theory, in practice they can be interconnected and challenging to differentiate.
