In most cases these problems will resolve, but many will sustain permanent damage. Whilst any justified claim for compensation requires medical and legal evidence a crucial and often controversial component of this process is the establishment of a causal link between the individual's condition and exposure to a specific chemical or substance. Causation, in terms of how a substance or substances led the claimant to his or her current plight, can be difficult to establish and the main purpose of this book, is to provide the aspiring expert report writer with a concise, practical guide that uses case histories to illuminate the process of establishing causation in occupational toxicity proceedings. In summary: A practical, accessible guide to the preparation of balanced, scientifically sound expert reports in the context of occupational toxicology. Focuses on the scientist's role in establishing a causal link between exposure to toxins and an individual's ill health. Includes real-life case histories drawn from the Author's 15 years experience in this area to illustrate the principles involved. Expert Report Writing in Toxicology: Forensic, Scientific and Legal Aspects proves invaluable to scientists across a range of disciplines needing guidance as to what is expected of them in terms of the best use of their expertise and how to present their findings in a manner that is authoritative, balanced and informative. 517 $aExpert report writing in toxicology 610 $aToxicology 610 $aMedical 676 $a614.13 700 $aColeman$b Michael D.$0603062 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830406203321 996 $aExpert Report Writing in Toxicology$93986213 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04323nam 22006975 450 001 9910298393303321 005 20251116170111.0 010 $a4-431-54877-7 024 7 $a10.1007/978-4-431-54877-5 035 $a(CKB)2560000000149127 035 $a(EBL)1698395 035 $a(OCoLC)881161820 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001204833 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11698798 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001204833 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11180351 035 $a(PQKB)11035160 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1698395 035 $a(DE-He213)978-4-431-54877-5 035 $a(PPN)178319910 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000149127 100 $a20140410d2014 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aCivil Society Organization and Disaster Risk Reduction $eThe Asian Dilemma /$fedited by Rajib Shaw, Takako Izumi 205 $a1st ed. 2014. 210 1$aTokyo :$cSpringer Japan :$cImprint: Springer,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (296 p.) 225 1 $aDisaster Risk Reduction, Methods, Approaches and Practices,$x2196-4106 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a4-431-54876-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters. 327 $aFrom the Contents: Overview and introduction of role of Civil Society Organization in Risk Reduction -- Policy and Advocacy: General Issues -- Policy and Advocacy: Experience from launch of national disaster risk reduction platform in Afghanistan and strategic national action plan -- Policy and Advocacy: Specific case of Indonesia -- Knowledge, Education and Training: General Issues. 330 $aCivil society organizations (CSOs) have played important roles over the years in the disaster field.  Starting from the traditional approach of response and relief, the emphasis has gradually shifted to disaster risk reduction.  From international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to national and local NGOs, all stakeholders have recognized the significance of and need for community-based risk reduction. In their different capacities they have endeavored to establish links to the policy options at the local and national levels.  There still are many issues that remain untouched by CSOs, however, and local CSOs face special challenges in resources in terms of human, financial, and technical issues.     Drawing examples from Asia, this book is structured on the roles of CSOs according to the Hyogo Framework for Action priority areas: policy making, risk assessment, education and training, underlying risk factors, and response?recovery.  The primary target groups for this book are students and researchers in the fields of environment, disaster risk reduction, and climate change studies.  The book provides a clear view of the current trends of research in the field and furnishes basic knowledge on these important topics.  Another target group comprises practitioners and policy makers, who will be able to apply the knowledge collected here to policy and decision making. 410 0$aDisaster Risk Reduction, Methods, Approaches and Practices,$x2196-4106 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aMethodology of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 607 $aAsia$2fast 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 14$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aMethodology of the Social Sciences. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 676 $a363.346 702 $aShaw$b Rajib$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aIzumi$b Takako$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298393303321 996 $aCivil Society Organization and Disaster Risk Reduction$92540337 997 $aUNINA
