Sommario/riassunto

Online support groups are considered highly valuable in addition to traditional health care services, but we know very little about how people actually join such a group. This book offers a microanalysis of an online support group on eating disorders, specifically the communication through textual messages between newcomers and regular members and members’ nicknames. The study uses an ethnomethodological and conversation analytical approach to show



that members of online support groups treat the group as a community in which their illness-identity is highly relevant. It appears that members invoke community norms regarding legitimacy for newcomers: Newcomers are expected to admit that they are ill, but this is a very difficult step for those who have not yet fully adopted the “sick role” (Parsons, 1951). In the field of eating disorders, it is particularly difficult for people that tend to pro-ana , id est the glamorization of eating disorders. The insecurity and anxiety that newcomers display as they enter the online group could probably be relieved when a special entry subforum would be installed in which they can take time and space to actually recognize that they are illustrations.

Sommario/riassunto

This two-volume set showcases the various ways in which geospatial technology can be used to achieve sustainable development goals across different sectors such as urban planning, natural resource management, agriculture, disaster management, and energy management. The books provide insights into the potential of geospatial technology in promoting sustainable development practices and addressing challenges related to climate change, environmental degradation, and socio-economic development. Both volumes together are a comprehensive guide that showcases the potential of geospatial technology in promoting sustainable development practices across different sectors, and will serve as an essential resource for professionals, policymakers, researchers, and students interested in sustainable development and geospatial technology. Volume 1 introduces the intertwined realms of sustainable development and geospatial technology. It navigates readers through the fundamental principles of sustainable development, exploring its goals and the pivotal role geospatial technology plays in its realization. Beginning with an overview of these critical concepts, it subsequently dives into the core foundations of geospatial technology, covering Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, spatial data analysis, and data visualization. The volume also encompasses the practical aspects of sustainable urban planning, natural resource management, and transportation planning using GIS, underpinning the relevance of geospatial technology in addressing contemporary global challenges.
