Seismic tomography
Tomography was originally developed in medical research to produce images of tissue density (Hounsfield, 1973). In this type of tomography, the object (the patient) is moved through a large donut-shaped machine, where an X-ray beam and a set of electronic X-ray detectors are located opposite each other

Geopolitical challenges of renewable energy adoption in MENA
As Figure 28.1 indicates, the amount and type of renewable capacity developed in the region varies significantly by country.1 In addition, while almost all MENA countries have increased their investments in developing alternative energy resources, the contribution of their renewables to the total global electricity supply does not yet exceed half of one percent (BP, 2021). Nevertheless, th…

As part of the United Kingdom’s response to the escalating HIV/AIDS crisis during the 1980s, special wards and community-based services were established to care for people living with HIV/AIDS (PWHA).

Chapter 4 'Now, back to our Virchow': German Medical and Political Traditions…
When the war was over in 1945, Germany was a country with no government, little functioning infrastructure, millions of refugees and homeless people, and huge foreign armies living largely off the land. Large parts of the country were covered in rubble, with no clean drinking water, electricity, or gas. Hospitals overflowed with patients, but were short of beds, medicines, and medical personnel…

Chapter 4 Norms and Norm Contestation
There are growing connections between the IR constructivist focus on norms and norm contestation and Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA). FPA has long had a focus on agency within the state, particularly individual and group-based decision-making. Early constructivist work, by contrast, tended to prioritize agency outside of the state – focusing on norm entrepreneurs and transnational advocacy– a…
