Security and justice are both essential elements in humanity’s quest not only to survive but to thrive with dignity; neither is sustainable alone. Security is merely the appearance of order in a framework of structural violence unless tempered or leavened by concepts of justice that include human rights, human dignity, and other normative limits on the use of power. The pursuit of justice, whether at the personal, community, national, or international level can be crippled if not matched, in turn, by means to sustain security at each level. This complementarity of security and justice—despite their inherent tensions—is the core conceptual framework of the book. Achieving “just security,” we argue, is essential to the success of any global governance enterprise or architecture.

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the existing literature about the theoretical and practical aspects of lesson study and its usefulness in preservice teacher reflectivity. Lesson study is a professional development model that began in Japan and is used in schools and universities among educators in many different parts of the world. Collaborative research lesson study, a variation of lesson study that maintains essential elements of lesson study used in Japan, has been used with preservice teachers at a small university in Hawaiʻi. This paper seeks to highlight the differences and suggests areas of study for further consideration.

Recognition and timely action around “warning signs” of illness exacerbation is central to the self-management of bipolar disorder. Due to its heterogeneity and fluctuating course, passive and active mobile technologies have been increasingly evaluated as adjunctive or standalone tools to predict and prevent risk of worsening of course in bipolar disorder. As predictive analytics approaches to big data from mobile health (mHealth) applications and ancillary sensors advance, it is likely that early warning systems will increasingly become available to patients. Such systems could reduce the amount of time spent experiencing symptoms and diminish the immense disability experienced by people with bipolar disorder. However, in addition to the challenges in validating such systems, we argue that early warning systems may not be without harms. Probabilistic warnings may be delivered to individuals who may not be able to interpret the warning, have limited information about what behaviors to change, or are unprepared to or cannot feasibly act due to time or logistic constraints. We propose five essential elements for early warning systems and provide a conceptual framework for designing, incorporating stakeholder input, and validating early warning systems for bipolar disorder with a focus on pragmatic considerations.

The Apple Education Foundation awarded a two-year joint project to Peabody College for Teachers and Tennessee School for the Blind (TSB) for the purpose of studying the development of word processing skills by visually handicapped students. Apple IIe microcomputers, printers, software, and specialized technological aids are now being used by students and teachers at TSB and by preservice teachers at Peabody College. This article discusses the project's conceptual framework, activities at the project site, and a module developed to introduce students to the Braille–Edit word processing system.
