Mit pauschalen Antworten auf diese richtungsweisenden Fragen ist es nur schwer möglich, einen gemeinsamen Weg zu formulieren und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe zu realisieren. Vielmehr braucht es dafür ein differenzierteres Bild unserer Gesellschaft und eine Vielfalt an Argumenten, um einen wahrhaft...igen Diskurs zu ermöglichen.
Die vorliegende Anthologie „Zwischen Kommen und Bleiben. Ein gesellschaftlicher Qürschnitt zur Flüchtlingspolitik“ liefert dazu erste Ansätze und lässt in unterschiedlichen Textbeiträgen unter anderem Geflüchtete selbst zu Wort kommen.

The Newborn Situational Analysis reports of 2009 and 2011, as well as the “Bottleneck analysis on neonatal health” of 2013, culminated in the Nigeria launch of “Call to action on Newborn health” at the first National Newborn Health Conference in 2014. This call to action provided the framewo...rk for the development of the Nigeria Every Newborn Action
Plan (NiENAP). The NiENAP lays out a vision to end preventable stillbirths and newborn deaths by accelerating progress and scaling up evidence- based high-impact and cost effective interventions. The plan is guided by the principles of country-leadership, integration, accountability, equity, human rights, innovation and research. This blue print outlines our commitment as government and stakeholders to repositioning newborn health as we implement approaches that impact on the lives of newborns for improved health outcome.

The 20th century was a period of unprecedented ecological change, with dramatic reductions in natural ecosystems and biodiversity and equally dramatic increases in people and domestic animals. Never before have so many animals been kept by so many people—and never before have so many opportunities... existed for pathogens to pass from wild and domestic animals through the biophysical environment to affect people causing zoonotic diseases or zoonoses. The result has been a worldwide increase in emerging zoonotic
diseases, outbreaks of epidemic zoonoses as well as a rise in foodborne zoonoses globally, and a troubling persistence of neglected zoonotic diseases in poor countries.
