Decisive results … and new challenges -- Chapter 7. Comparative considerations and Conclusions.The present book introduces an original (new) perspective on Cuba. This book revisits Cuba's choice, after the 1959 revolution, to develop an advanced healthcare and scientific system. It also introduces new aspects of the problem development/underdevelopment. From the start, every effort of the Cuban leadership and scientific community was driven by the primary purpose of meeting the country’s basic economic and social needs. Immediate key measures taken after the revolution included free education up to  higher levels and free health services. In only a couple of decades Third World diseases were defeated and a First World health profile was achieved. In the sciences, support and collaboration was sought and welcomed from both Soviet and western countries. Moreover, due to the backward position of the Soviet Union in genetics and molecular biology, in the early 1970s Cuban scientists were trained in these fields mainly by Italian biologists. In the following decade, initially relying on contacts with American and Finnish specialists, Cuban biologists and physicians built a large industrial biotechnology complex to produce and commercialize Cuban-made, and often invented, medicines and vaccines. In the early 1990s the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union and the socialist market created an unprecedented challenge. Yet Cuba’s scientific system substantially resiled, despite unavoidable setbacks. This crisis was faced by confirming and reinforcing government support for biotechnology, with the result that today Cuba excels at a global level in the typical capital-intensive field of biotechnology. While this book is especially devoted to historians of science and technology and to biotechnologists, it is of interest to the general public.  .SpringerBriefs in History of Science and Technology,2211-4564Pharmaceutical technologyBiomedical engineeringBiotechnologyMedicinePhysicsEthnology—Latin AmericaPharmaceutical Sciences/Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B21010Biomedical Engineering/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B24000Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12002Medicine/Public Health, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H00007Physics, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P00002Latin American Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411080Pharmaceutical technology.Biomedical engineering.Biotechnology.Medicine.Physics.Ethnology—Latin America.Pharmaceutical Sciences/Technology.Biomedical Engineering/Biotechnology.Biotechnology.Medicine/Public Health, general.Physics, general.Latin American Culture.338.9729106Baracca Angeloauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut44102Franconi Rosellaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910253894303321Subalternity vs. Hegemony, Cuba's Outstanding Achievements in Science and Biotechnology, 1959-20142532377UNINA03854nam 2200517 a 450 991096692080332120251116154107.01-118-41945-61-283-94137-61-118-42097-7(CKB)24989498700041(Au-PeEL)EBL1106530(CaPaEBR)ebr10643078(CaONFJC)MIL425387(OCoLC)823722236(MiAaPQ)EBC1106530(MiAaPQ)EBC7103649(BIP)43000371(EXLCZ)992498949870004120120718d2013 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSocial work and social policy advancing the principles of economic and social justice /edited by Ira C.

Raffoul.A comprehensive overview of domestic and global social welfare policy Written by a team of renowned social policy experts sharing their unique perspectives on global and U.S. social welfare policy issues, Social Work and Social Policy helps social workers consider key issues that face policymakers, elected officials, and agency administrators in order to develop policies that are both fair and just. Designed as a foundational social welfare policy text, this important book meets the Council on Social Work Education's (CSWE) Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS). Encouraging readers' critical thinking on various issues, each chapter begins with an overarching question and "what if" scenarios, and ends with a set of suggested key terms, online resources, and discussion questions. Recognizing that policy work requires practitioners to be as fully versed as possible with the issue at hand, Social Work and Social Policy thoroughly explores: Social welfare policy as a form of social justice The evolution of the American welfare state Human security and the welfare of societies Social policy from a global perspective Challenges for social policies in Asia Welfare reform and the need for social empathy The U.S. Patriot Act and its implications for the social work profession Human rights and emerging social media Compelling and broad in scope, Social Work and Social Policy is an indispensable text for students and a valuable resource for practitioners concerned with creating social policy and governmental action guided by justice for all.Social serviceSocial policySocial service.Social policy.361Colby Ira C(Ira Christopher)1259461Dulmus Catherine N1600922Sowers Karen M(Karen Marlaine)1100086MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966920803321Social work and social policy4467122UNINA
