Our book discusses three of the top killers of children under 5 years of age in Nigeria, pneumonia (20%), diarrheal diseases (15%), and traumatic injuries (4%). These conditions are used as examples to demonstrate the potential for improved pediatric outcomes with treatments engineered from sustainable and natural resources. Furthermore, this book outlines possible action items that can help drive economic growth, educational opportunities, collaborative outreach, and workforce productivity to build a healthy and sustainable community.  Medical technology in the industrialized world has seen rapid advancements leading to increased survival and greater patient outcomes. However, the development and implementation of these resources is not always applicable to regions in need of new and more basic ways to provide treatment. Moore?s Law, a paradigm that considers advancement synonymous with increased digitization and optimization of electronic processes, defines the history of technology. However, the functionality of advanced and ?smart? technology is essentially useless in underdeveloped areas. These regions lack some of the basic requirements for innovative medical technologies to impact human health, such as electricity, access to spare parts, computer analysis tools, and network architecture. In addition, the poor physical infrastructure, insufficient management, and lack of technical culture are barriers for entry and sustainability of these technologies. Rather than importing medical devices from industrialized countries, we propose that the mindset and research focus for under developed areas must be on ?successful? technologies. Simply put, these areas need technology that ?gets the job done.?. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Materials,$x2192-1091 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aHealth promotion 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aBiomaterials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z13000 606 $aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27010 606 $aBiomedical Engineering/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B24000 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700X 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 615 0$aBiomaterials. 615 0$aHealth promotion. 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 14$aBiomaterials. 615 24$aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering/Biotechnology. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 676 $a610.28 700 $aTracy$b Adam A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0767959 702 $aBhatia$b Sujata K$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aRamadurai$b Krish W$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298579103321 996 $aBio-Based Materials as Applicable, Accessible, and Affordable Healthcare Solutions$92511307 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03340oam 2200673I 450 001 9910136134803321 005 20251017195941.0 010 $a1-315-62366-8 010 $a1-317-22669-0 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315623665 035 $a(CKB)3710000000912445 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4717792 035 $a(OCoLC)960941918 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/71692 035 $a(PPN)253846188 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000912445 100 $a20180706d2017 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aDomestic politics and norm diffusion in international relations $eideas do not float freely /$fThomas Risse 205 $a1st ed. 210 $cTaylor & Francis$d2017 210 1$aLondon ;$aNew York :$cRoutledge,$d2017. 215 $a1 online resource (viii, 318 pages) $cillustrations, tables, graphs 225 1 $aRoutledge/UACES Contemporary European Studies ;$v34 311 08$a1-138-65366-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index. 327 $apt.

Covering a wide range of issues ? the end of the Cold War, transatlantic relations, the "democratic peace," human rights, governance in areas of limited statehood, Europeanization, European identity and public spheres, most recently comparative regionalism ? it is testament to the breadth and excellence of this highly respected International Relations scholar's work. The collection is organized thematically ? domestic politics and international relations, international sources of domestic change, and the diffusion of ideas and institutions ? and a brand new introductory essay provides additional coherence. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of International Relations, European Politics, and Comparative Politics. 410 0$aRoutledge/UACES contemporary European studies series ;$v34. 606 $aInternational relations$xPolitical aspects 606 $aComparative government 606 $aDiplomacy 606 $aforeign policy$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $ainternational relations$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $adomestic policy$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $atransatlantic relations$9eng$2eurovoc 615 0$aInternational relations$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aDiplomacy. 615 7$aforeign policy. 615 7$ainternational relations. 615 7$adomestic policy. 615 7$atransatlantic relations. 676 $a327 686 $a08.08.08$2EP-CLASS 686 $a08.32.52$2EP-CLASS 686 $a04.28$2EP-CLASS 700 $aRisse-Kappen$b Thomas.$0259583 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136134803321 996 $aDomestic politics and norm diffusion in international relations$92165027 997 $aUNINA
