International and Interdisciplinary Insights into Evidence and Policy
Contributors to this highly original book address the many questions raised by researchers and policymakers about the complex and often uneasy relationship between evidence and policy from an international and interdisciplinary perspective. They explore both the institutions acting as evidence brokers and the different methods used to collect, assess and use evidence in a variety of national and international settings, by drawing on their experience of working in international contexts and in different disciplinary and policy environments, and in some cases analysing their own involvement in the evidence-based policy process. The policy areas covered range from national and state level economic and social policies more generally to specific areas of intervention, such as EU bio-fuels targets, the Active Ageing Index, mental health and media, the construction of second-language learning policies, microfinance and alcohol policy. The authors highlight the strengths and weaknesses, the use and abuse, or successes and failures, of different institutional and methodological approaches to evidence-based policy. They consider what elements of the lessons learned might be transferable across national and cultural boundaries, and if so under what conditions. This book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Social Science.
Developmental Biology of Teleost Fishes
"Developmental Biology of Teleost Fishes" offers a comprehensive exploration of the intricate biological processes in teleost fish development. Authored by leading experts, this book delves into the fascinating world of teleost fishes, highlighting their diverse evolutionary history, reproductive strategies, and physiological adaptations. We provide deep insights into the genetic regulation, environmental influences, and developmental plasticity that shape the life history of teleost fishes. Through detailed discussions and engaging illustrations, the book explores the role of teleost fishes as model organisms in biomedical research, offering valuable parallels to human health and disease. Additionally, we examine practical applications in aquaculture, fisheries management, and environmental conservation. With its thorough coverage and interdisciplinary approach, "Developmental Biology of Teleost Fishes" is an essential resource for researchers, educators, and students interested in the biology, ecology, and evolution of teleost fishes. This book offers a wealth of knowledge and inspiration for understanding the remarkable diversity of teleost fishes.
