Sommario/riassunto

Psychiatry in Society provides an overview of the recent socio-economic and cultural changes affecting mental health and mental health care.  These changes include: * The increasing complexity of the economic contexts within which mental health services are funded and delivered * The demand for cost-effectiveness evidence * The rationing of access to new pharmacotherapies and psychotherapies * The emergence of quality of life as an essential criterion in the assessment of health care interventions * The growing awareness of the influence of stigma on shaping the long-term course of severe mental disorders * The enhanced role of advocacy groups in providing information, advice and support to sufferers  This book will be of interest to psychiatrists and psychologists, mental health workers, managers and policy makers.

Sommario/riassunto

Scientific and societal concern about the effects of underwater sound on marine ecosystems is growing. While iconic megafauna was of initial concern, more and more taxa are being included. Some countries have joined in multi-national initiatives to measure, monitor and mitigate environmental impacts of ocean noise at large, trans-boundary spatial



scales. Approaches to regulating ocean noise change as new scientific evidence becomes available, but may also differ by country. The OCEANOISE conference series has provided a platform for the exchange of scientific results, management approaches, research needs, stakeholder concerns, etc. Attendees have represented various sectors, including academia, offshore industry, defence, NGOs, consultants and government regulators. The published articles in the Special Issue cover a range of topics and applications central to ocean noise.
