Описание: In the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Livingstone declaration, and the UN Social Protection Floor, this book deals jointly with multidimensional child poverty and social protection in Central and Western Africa. It focuses both on extent and types of social protection coverage and assesses various child poverty trends in the region. More importantly, it looks at social protection to prevent and address the consequences of child poverty. Child poverty is distinct, conceptually, and different, quantitatively, from adult poverty. It requires its own independent measurement--otherwise half of the population in developing countries may be unaccounted for when assessing poverty reduction. This book posits that child poverty should be measured based on constitutive rights of poverty, using a multidimensional approach. The argument is supported by chapters actually applying and expanding this approach. In addition, the case is made that the underlying drivers of child poverty are inequality, lack of access to basic social services, and the presence of families without any type of social protection. As a result, the case for social protection in contributing to reduce and eliminate child protection and its consequences is made. Poverty reduction has been high on the international agenda since the start of the millennium. First as part of the MDGs and now included in the SDGs. However, in spite of a decline in the incidence of child poverty, the number of poor children is harder to reduce due to population dynamics. As a result, concomitant problems such as the increasing number of child brides, unregulated/dangerous migration, unabated child trafficking, etc. remain intractable. Understanding the root causes of child poverty and its characteristics in Central and Western Africa is fundamental to designing innovative ways to address it. It is also important to map the interventions, describe the practices, appreciate the challenges, recognize the limitations, and highlight the contributions of social protection and its role in dealing with child poverty. No practical policy recommendations can be devised without this knowledge.

Описание: This book is about the dangers of religious intolerance, conflict and violence oriented strategies in our contemporary society. It exposes the evangelical strategies of Christian Churches and Denominations in the Nigerian society. The process of the enthronement of ‘prosperity theology’ has led to manipulation of individuals and events through demonization, deliverance, organized healings and miracles. This type of Christianity destroys religious values and exposes the society to the danger of materialism. Christian Churches should be advocates of empowerment, freedom and dignity instead of victimization of its members. This study argues that authentic Christian witnessing can only be achieved through holistic and proper integration of its teachings into socio-cultural values of its local setting. It insists that religion should enhance good core values and not destroy it. It critically analyses the elemental causes of conflict and violence in Igboland and concludes by making recommendations towards a peaceful society.

Описание: Introducing the first part of The Miracle Trilogy(R) series which tells the enchanting love story of a young Irish girl named Francine Sullivan. She immigrates with her family to the United States from Ireland in the 1920s in search of the American Dream. Francine encounters many challenges throughout her early youth. Growing up during the age of Prohibition, with an alcoholic father supporting the family through a life of organized crime, Francine endures a difficult childhood. She deals with verbal abuse from her bitter mother, who loves her, but can't come to terms with the life that she herself was served. Poverty, endless domestic chores, and then tragedy lead Francine to cry out for help to get away from her current circumstances. It isn't until a sudden twist of fate that young Francine finds advice from a special woman who exposes to her a closely guarded secret that helps to make all of Francine's dreams come true. Experience an exciting story that details all of the elements needed for any reader to attain success in their lives, despite their current status, situation or environment. In the words of Henry Ford: "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, either way you're right. It's the thinking that makes it so." It truly is a must read.

Описание: In this era of portability and fast technological advances, polymers are more than ever under pressure to be economical and offer tailored property profiles. Frequently, the key lies in designing blends and alloys carefully structured at the apposite scale (preferably less than a micrometre) from current polymers. Block copolymers have long been thought to offer the solution. Local segregation of the different polymer blocks yields molecular-scale aggregates of nanometre size. Recent progress in synthetic chemistry has revealed extraordinary opportunities to prepare tailored block copolymers at reasonable cost. Over twenty years of intense academic research and the advent of powerful statistical theories and computational methods should help predict the equilibrium and even non-equilibrium behaviour of copolymers and their blends with other polymers. Polymer nanocomposites have extended beyond the original scope of polymernanocrystal dispersions for refractive-index tuning or clay-filled homopolymers primarily pursued for mechanical reinforcement, to include a wide range of applications. Block Copolymer Nanocomposites highlights recent research efforts in the field of structure formation in block copolymer-based nanocomposite materials, and points out opportunities for novel materials based on inclusion of different types of nanoparticles. Most applications of block copolymers are stemming from their ability to form microdomains in solution and in bulk. Current applications of block copolymers include thermoplastic elastomers and compatibilisation of polymer blends. The potential uses of block copolymers in immerging technologies like nanotechnology, nanolithography, photonics and controlled drug delivery are enormous. The relationships between the chemical structure of block copolymers and their physical properties and their present and future applications are highlighted. In this perspective, the book highlights recent advances in the synthesis and characterisation of block copolymers, discuss several key materials opportunities enabled by block copolymers, and highlight some of the challenges that currently limit further realisation of block copolymers in promising nanoscale applications. It provides a comprehensive overview of the synthesis and characterization of nanocomposites based on block copolymers. It is suitable for advanced graduate-level students, researechers and practiitoners, covering in great depth research results in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
