Case studies of four different checkpoints are examined, each of which looked slightly different, but all of which were underpinned by tikanga Māori.

  Why are "holistic" dentists on the rise? Dawn Ewing, executive director of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine, answers: "The growth is definitely patient-driven". The modern patient is increasingly health conscious. The readily available latest information in all spheres will soon cause patients to increasingly enquire and then entrust their healthcare, including dentistry, to establishments where these treatments and environments are practised, even if just partially.Today, the trend is looking toward natural alternatives when it comes to food, household products, health and wellness. It is therefore necessary for the dental industry to change with the passage of time. Holistic dentistry views the body and its well-being as a whole; this also includes oral health.The mouth does not exist in a state of isolation but forms an integral part of the entire body. In fact the mouth is a micro environment that mirrors the health of the total body.This book is meant mainly for dentists and dental medicine students and it is a helpful and informative guide about how to implement holistic and eco dentistry in the traditional day to day practice with some of the most efficient, safe and ethical elements along with the latest technology.

  As the speed and complexity of the world increases, governments and nonprofit organizations need new ways to effectively tackle the critical challenges of our time—from pandemics and global warming to social media warfare. In Power to the Public, Tara Dawson McGuinness and Hana Schank describe a revolutionary new approach—public interest technology—that has the potential to transform the way governments and nonprofits around the world solve problems. Through inspiring stories about successful projects ranging from a texting service for teenagers in crisis to a streamlined foster care system, the authors show how public interest technology can make the delivery of services to the public more effective and efficient.At its heart, public interest technology means putting users at the center of the policymaking process, using data and metrics in a smart way, and running small experiments and pilot programs before scaling up. And while this approach may well involve the innovative use of digital technology, technology alone is no panacea—and some of the best solutions may even be decidedly low-tech.Clear-eyed yet profoundly optimistic, Power to the Public presents a powerful blueprint for how government and nonprofits can help solve society's most serious problems.

  Essays by scholars on how film has been used by schools, libraries, governments, and organizations for educational purposes. 
   
  The potential of films to educate has been crucial for the development of cinema intended to influence culture, and is as important as conceptions of film as a form of art, science, industry, or entertainment. Using the concept of institutionalization as a heuristic for generating new approaches to the history of educational cinema, contributors to this volume study the co-evolving discourses, cultural practices, technical standards, and institutional frameworks that transformed educational cinema from a convincing idea into an enduring genre.  
   
  The Institutionalization of Educational Cinema examines the methods of production, distribution, and exhibition established for the use of educational films within institutions—such as schools, libraries, and industrial settings—in various national and international contexts and takes a close look at the networks of organizations, individuals, and government agencies that were created as a result of these films’ circulation. Through case studies of educational cinemas in different North American and European countries that explore various modes of institutionalization of educational film, this book highlights the wide range of vested interests that framed the birth of educational and nontheatrical cinema.
