Independent Slovenia: Origins, Movements, Prospects

Following the collapse of the former Yugoslavia, Slovenia was the one state to break away completely from the catastrophic instability that has plagued the other successor republics. The conditions influencing Slovenia's success were ethnic homogeneity, economic development, and strong civil society. This volume of essays explores the historical, cultural, political, and economic origins of the drive for Slovene independence; the intellectuals, pacifists, punk rockers, feminists, and trade unionists who created the social movements of the Slovene Spring; and the prospects for this new nation in Central Europe.Authors include key Slovene activists and analysts: Dimitrij Rupel, Slovenia's foreign minister at the moment of independence; Tomaz Mastnak, new social movement theorist and participant; feminist researcher Vlasta Jalusic; punk sociologist Gregor Tomc; as well as Slovene and U.S. historians and economists.Written in an accessible style, Independent Slovenia is essential reading for those wanting a deeper understanding of the Yugoslav conflict, and of the small new states in the New Europe.

Evaluation always seems like the thorniest - and therefore most interesting - part of the clinical process. How does one go about developing a clear understanding of a client s current situation? What questions should be asked? How and when is the best time to ask those questions? Which tools will be best to construct an accurate portrait of his or her situation, and what information should we use to select the best tools? How do we know when the picture we have created of a client s situation is accurate, and how will we know when we re headed down the wrong path. --From the Foreword by Wendy J. Coster, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA Evaluation, which promotes a greater understanding of the people whom occupational therapy serves, is the foundation of occupational therapy practice and provides evidence to guide best practices. This third edition of the classic text answers the above questions and focuses on the role of the occupational therapist as an evaluator with assessment support provided by the occupational therapy assistant. Chapters discuss the various aspects of a comprehensive evaluation, including screening, reassessment, and reevaluation, and reaffirm the importance of understanding people as occupational beings. The expansion of this revision in breadth and depth reflects contemporary evaluation approaches. Most importantly, the authors discuss the influence that evaluation practices have on practice and remind readers to think about not only what the current practice environment wants an evaluation to be but also what the profession believes a comprehensive evaluation should be. Chapter Highlights · Evaluation-Where Do We Begin? · Philosophical and Theoretical Influences on Evaluation · Assessment Identification and Selection · Practical Aspects of the Evaluation Process · Evaluation in the Intervention Planning Process · Administration of Evaluation and Assessments · Contextual Evaluation to Support Participation · Nonstandardized Testing · Reliability and Validity: The Psychometrics of Standardized Assessments · Scoring and Interpretation of Results · Interpretation and Documentation · Reassessment and Reevaluation · Evaluating Special Populations · Use of Evaluation Data to Support Evidence-Based Practice · Use of Evaluation Data in Outcomes-Oriented Approach

TRANSFORMING AFRICA'S RELIGIOUS LANDSCAPES: The Sudan Interior Mission (SIM), Past and Present

This book tells the story of the collaborative efforts of missionaries of the SIM, an international Christian mission founded in North America, and African Christians to evangelize in the wider Sudan (generally meaning countries spanning from Senegal to Ethiopia). In 1893, when SIM was formed, the Sudan home to Islam, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and African traditional religions had seen little Protestant Christian evangelism. Within ten years, most of the region came under the yoke of European imperialism, and, over the next several decades, missionaries flooded this little-touched mission field. Yet the story of the SIM, perhaps the most widely active mission in the Sudan, stands apart because it was not attached to any imperial power or state church, such as the Church Missionary Society of the Anglican Church. The SIM was an interdenominational society sending missionaries from North America, Australia, and various European countries to the Sudan. This book is the first to provide case studies exploring the SIM and African initiated efforts to confront political, cultural, religious, technological, and social challenges to spreading the Christian gospel and ministering to human needs. In the process, the SIM and African Christians transformed not only the nature of modern missionary work, but also relationships within African societies. This book gives readers a broad sampling of the history and present activities of the SIM and related African churches and shows their importance in critical transformations in modern Africa, from the abolition of slavery to the development of African-led missionary movements, and the efforts to contain outbreak of Lassa and Ebola fevers. The originality of this volume is not only its historical content but also the several essays discussing contemporary African developments. The dynamism of African Christianity is widely acknowledged, but few scholarly works connect the history of Euro-American missions to current religious transformations in Africa. This book explores SIM s continuing connection with African churches from Liberia to Ethiopia and sheds light on two themes of significant contemporary interest that Christian missions were crucial in introducing: communications technology and medical infrastructure.
