This volume examines the school-to-prison pipeline, a concept that has received growing attention over the past 10-15 years in the United States. The "pipeline" refers to a number of interrelated concepts and activities that most often include the criminalization of students and student behavior, the police-like state found in many schools throughout the country, and the introduction of youth into the criminal justice system at an early age. The school-to-prison pipeline negatively and disproportionally affects communities of color throughout the United States, particularly in urban areas. Given the demographic composition of public schools in the United States, the nature of student performance in schools over the past 50 years, the manifestation of school-to-prison pipeline approaches pervasive throughout the country and the world, and the growing incarceration rates for youth, this volume explores this issue from the sociological, criminological, and educational perspectives. Understanding, Dismantling, and Disrupting the Prison-to-School Pipeline has contributions from scholars and practitioners who work in the fields of sociology, counseling, criminal justice, and who are working to dismantle the pipeline. While the academic conversation has consistently called the pipeline 'school-to-prison,' including the framing of many chapters in this book, the economic and market forces driving the prison-industrial complex urge us to consider reframing the pipeline as one working from 'prison-to-school.' This volume points toward the tensions between efforts to articulate values of democratic education and schooling against practices that criminalize youth and engage students in reductionist and legalistic manners.

This volume covers advances in the field of respiratory diseases, reflecting the recent and dramatic expansion of knowledge regarding the determinants of respiratory health, screening tests for early pulmonary lesions, therapeutic interventions for respiratory infections and strategies for prevention. It examines indoor and outdoor environmental sources of respiratory diseases, including levels of pollutants, air conditioning, indoor air quality and airborne allergens. Exploring ways to promote the respiratory health of both the individual and the community, Prevention of Respiratory Diseases covers areas including: the role of most of the known extrinsic and potentially preventable determinants in respiratory diseases; developments in epidemiology and children's respiratory health; the relationship between respiratory diseases and occupations; individual sensitivity or susceptibility to the effects of air pollutants; genetic, epidemiological and immunological markers, markers for bronchial cancer and the protease-antiprotease system; and the connection between tobacco smoke and respiratory diseases.;This resource is intended for pulmonologists, clinical immunologists and allergists, oncologists, physiologists, infectious disease specialists, respiratory therapists and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - and. Lander - Neuzeit, Absolutismus, Industrialisierung, Note: 1, Universitat Wien (Institut fur Geschichte ), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wenn man an die Geschichte der Ersten Republik in Osterreich denkt - spezifischer, an die besondere Rolle der Stadt Wien in dieser Periode -, so nehmen im Geiste Begriffe wie Sozialdemokratie," Parteienkampf," Arbeiterschaft," Rotes Wien," goldene 20er Jahre," Wirtschaftskrise" oder dergleichen Gestalt an. Am Beginn meiner Gedanken uber das zu formulierende Thema meiner Arbeit stand bloss das Konzept, sich mit den Lebensverhaltnissen der Arbeiterschaft in Wien wahrend der Zwischenkriegszeit auseinander zu setzen. Doch schon im Zuge meiner anfanglichen Literatursuche stiess ich auf den Begriff und die Bedeutung des bereits erwahnten Roten Wien" als soziale Institution; in mir begann sich eine genauere und differenziertere Fragestellung herauszukristallisieren: Sollte ich bloss rein deskriptiv arbeiten ? Warum sich nicht den Kopf zerbrechen uber eine These zur Situation der Arbeiterschaft, die da lautet: Ist es legitim, von Verbesserungen in der Zeit nach der Ausrufung der Republik sprechen ? Wenn Wien zu dieser Zeit als Musterstadt der Sozialdemokratie galt, so mussten sich doch die Taten der Gemeinde - allen voran der schon fast legendare Wohnbau - auf die Lebensumstande der Arbeiterschaft positiv niedergeschlagen haben Daneben sollten aber auch Bereiche, die nicht direkt mit dem Roten Wien" in Zusammenhang stehen, wie z. B. die Entwicklung der Entlohnung, unter die Lupe genommen werden. Dementsprechend formulierte ich den ursprunglich geplanten Titel so um, wie er nun zu lesen ist. Mein Absicht ist es also, eine angenommene Veranderung der Lebensverhaltnisse der Arbeiterschaft in der osterreichischen Hauptstadt zum Besseren zu verifizieren oder falsifizieren, unter besonderer Berucksichtigung der sozialdemokratisch verwalteten Stadt und der ergriffenen
