The Stockholm Convention on POPs is a global treaty to protect human health and the environment from POPs which came into force in 2004. Currently, twelve substances or substance groups are included under the Stockholm Convention, but there is a case for including new and emerging POPs such as brominated flame retardants and perfluorinated substances. 606 $aOrganohalogen compounds$xToxicology 606 $aOrganohalogen compounds$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aFireproofing agents$xToxicology 606 $aFireproofing agents$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aPersistent pollutants$xBioaccumulation 606 $aPersistent pollutants$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aOrganohalogen compounds$xToxicology. 615 0$aOrganohalogen compounds$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aFireproofing agents$xToxicology. 615 0$aFireproofing agents$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aPersistent pollutants$xBioaccumulation. 615 0$aPersistent pollutants$xEnvironmental aspects. 676 $a577.278 701 $aHarrad$b Stuart$f1962-$01841301 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911019722903321 996 $aPersistent organic pollutants$94420979 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03810nam 22007692 450 001 9910964266403321 005 20200514202323.0 010 $a9781472505958 010 $a1472505956 010 $a9781472509086 010 $a1472509080 010 $a9781472593351 010 $a1472593359 010 $a9781472509536 010 $a1472509536 024 7 $a10.5040/9781472593351 035 $a(CKB)3710000000222792 035 $a(EBL)1769095 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001292480 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12561794 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001292480 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11284059 035 $a(PQKB)10112955 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1769095 035 $a(OCoLC)1154966621 035 $a(UtOrBLW)bpp09257917 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6163831 035 $a(UtOrBLW)BP9781472593351BC 035 $a(Perlego)807110 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000222792 100 $a20140515d2015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aEducation and gender /$fedited by Debotri Dhar 210 1$aLondon :$cBloomsbury Academic,$d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (193 p.) 225 0 $aEducation as a humanitarian response 300 $aIncludes index. 311 08$a9781322063867 311 08$a1322063869 311 08$a9781472508348 311 08$a1472508343 327 $a1.

Rooting constructions of gender and sexuality in specific geographical contexts, the contributors consider a range of issues. Themes discussed include the gender gap in educational attainment; pedagogical strategies; stereotyping in curricula; and education policy. Drawing on best practices worldwide, the contributors identify the current gaps and propose solutions to promote gender-just, equitable and pluralistic societies. Each chapter includes key questions to encourage active engagement with the subject and a list of further reading to support taking the exploration further 410 0$aEducation as a humanitarian response. 606 $aEducational equalization$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aGender identity in education$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aSex differences in education$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aWomen$xEducation$vCross-cultural studies 606 $2Gender studies, gender groups 615 0$aEducational equalization 615 0$aGender identity in education 615 0$aSex differences in education 615 0$aWomen$xEducation 676 $a370.15/1 686 $aEDU043000$aEDU020000$aSOC032000$2bisacsh 702 $aDhar$b Debotri 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964266403321 996 $aEducation and gender$94479977 997 $aUNINA
