This study analyses the work of NGOs in the repatriation of refugees to Craotia and Bosnia-Herzegovina which still reflect the effects of ethnic cleansing. When refugees return to these fractured communities, development efforts aimed at rebuilding a war-torn society and building the conditions for peace and a civil society become vital. NGOs as people's organizations become an important expression of civil society. The author explores the reasoning behind NGOs, their constituencies and their accountability, and their work in the regional and global context. He studies the period between 1991-97 and presents different accounts of what could have set off the Balkan wars. Discerning common trends from case studies of NGOs, the author highlights both 'lessons learned' and areas for further debate.
This book is for every SharePoint developer who wants to build state-of-the-art solutions with Silverlight within the enterprise, for consulting clients, or for commercial sale. Developers increasingly want to build rich applications that run in the SharePoint 2010 browser user interface while offering a far more compelling and engaging experience than conventional web pages. One proven technology gives them all the tools and resources they need to achieve these goals: Silverlight®. Using Silverlight and SharePoint together, developers can create state-of-the-art applications that utilize Silverlight's outstanding user experience, and fully leverage the vast collections of business data already stored in corporate SharePoint deployments. In SharePoint 2010 Development with Silverlight, two SharePoint gurus collaborate to teach all the concepts and techniques needed to create robust Silverlight solutions for delivery through SharePoint 2010, and present fully documented code that demonstrates superior design and programming. Bob German and Paul Stubbs draw on their extensive experience developing custom SharePoint business solutions with Silverlight and presenting on these technologies at leading Microsoft developer events. Writing for both experienced and new SharePoint developers, they quickly review the fundamentals of both SharePoint and Silverlight development, and then demonstrate how to use both platforms together to build uniquely powerful solutions. These include: · Simple and connected Silverlight Web Parts (Chapter 5) and Silverlight Web Part Editing (Chapters 7 and 10) · Advanced use of the SharePoint Client Object Model including dynamic loading, paging, and server-side exception handling (Chapter 8) · Use of SharePoint's REST API including paging, caching, and filtering (Chapter 9) · Integration with SharePoint search and social networking (Chapter 10) · Solutions that improve performance and reduce server traffic by passing serialized .NET objects on the web page (Chapter 7) · Use of SharePoint's JavaScript API with JQuery (Chapter 7) · SharePoint applications for Windows Phone 7 (Chapter 12) · Integration with Office 365 and Windows Azure(tm) services (Chapter 14) · Silverlight field types in SharePoint, featuring a mapping field that allows geocoding SharePoint content (Chapter 15) Including New Features in Silverlight 5 Silverlight 5 introduces a number of new features such as implicit data templates and debugging data binding that can be very helpful in SharePoint solutions. All the examples in this book have been tested with Silverlight 4; some have been extended to showcase the new capabilities in Silverlight 5. See Chapter 3 for a list.

This accessible text looks at the impact of the globalization process on social policy. National social policy is increasingly determined by global economic competition and international organizations. Its substance is becoming more and more transnational and now has to be understood in terms of global social redistribution, social regulation, social provision and empowerment. Global Social Policy examines trends in global inequity and summarizes the diverse experiences of different welfare regimes across the world. The authors review the social policies of international organizations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, UN Agencies and the European Union, and show them to be engaged in heated controversy regarding the future for welfare. They argue that this concealed global discourse needs to be brought into an accountable arena.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare disorder of the blood coagulation system. In most cases, a lack of the ADAMTS13 enzyme leads to an accumulation of ultra-large von Willebrand factor molecules in the plasma which, in turn, initiate the formation of microscopic thromboses in small blood vessels. TTP is a medical emergency. Timely diagnosis and urgent and effective management are vital – mortality in those untreated is in the region of 90%. The understanding of TTP pathogenesis has increased markedly in recent decades. It is now known that TTP is acquired (immunemediated) or congenital, and that the most common type – the acquired form – predominantly affects women in their 40s. It is also clear that the prompt delivery of plasma exchange saves lives. 'Fast Facts: Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura' sets out, in a clear and accessible format, the steps to suspecting, diagnosing and treating this potentially devastating disease. These steps are complemented by clear descriptions of the disease mechanism and epidemiology. Differential diagnosis, which is of the utmost importance for this disease, is explored in detail. Table of Contents: · Disease overview · Clinical presentation · Differential diagnosis · Laboratory findings and diagnosis · Management

Responding to the increasing interest in the movement of policies between places, sites, and settings, this timely book presents an alternative to critical approaches that center on ideas of policy transfer, dissemination, or learning. With profound implications for policy studies, contributors instead treat policy's movement as an active process of translation, in which policies are interpreted, inflected, and reworked as they change location. Mixing collectively written chapters with individual case studies of policies and practices, this book provides an exciting, accessible, and novel analytical and methodological foundation for rethinking policy studies through translation.
