The review highlights the book's central themes, including intersectionality, equity, representation, and the dismantling of systemic barriers within linguistic research, teaching, and institutional practice. It discusses the editors' emphasis on practical strategies for fostering inclusion while acknowledging the challenges of implementing such approaches across diverse academic contexts. Particular attention is given to the volume's relevance for applied linguistics, where its recommendations have significant implications for pedagogy, community engagement, and socially responsive research. The review argues that "Inclusion in Linguistics" makes a substantial contribution to contemporary linguistic scholarship by providing both a critical framework and actionable guidance for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion within the discipline.

Abstract: This book presents a comprehensive framework for evaluating and improving the quality of professional services provided by community pharmacists. The book develops practical and scientifically grounded validation instruments designed to measure pharmacy performance, document pharmacist interventions, and demonstrate the contribution of pharmaceutical care to patient outcomes. Drawing on principles of quality assurance, outcome assessment, and community pharmacy practice, it outlines methods for assessing pharmacy settings, equipment, dispensing processes, patient counselling, response to minor ailments, and other key components of pharmaceutical service delivery. The volume also discusses the development and application of quantitative measurement systems that enable the systematic monitoring of professional standards and continuous quality improvement. Supported by case studies, survey instruments, and practical implementation strategies, the book provides pharmacists, educators, healthcare administrators, and policymakers with tools for establishing evidence-based validation programmes in community pharmacy settings.

This narrative overview synthesizes 195 international studies (1995–2025) applying these instruments with children and adolescents outside the United States. Studies were examined for publication trends, geographic distribution, instrument versions, informants, age ranges, participant characteristics, settings, languages, and study purposes, based on a comprehensive search of six databases, with supplementary searches identifying additional studies. Europe, the Americas, and Asia were the most represented regions, with Brazil, Canada, Australia, Iran, and Portugal contributing over half of all research. The SSRS and SSIS dominated, parent and teacher reports were most common, and school-age children (6–12 years) in mainstream settings were most frequently studied. Studies primarily focused on screening and assessment, including correlational analyses, followed by intervention evaluations, and, finally, adaptation and psychometric investigations. Findings highlight the global reach, versatility, and cross-cultural relevance of SSRS–SSIS instruments while identifying gaps for future research.

Criminal negligence and moral luck Abstract: Criminal law typically punishes individuals for wrongful conduct committed with a criminal intent — the actus reus accompanied by mens rea, based on the legal maxim actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea. However, negligence-based offences disrupt this paradigm. In such cases, individuals may be held criminally responsible despite the absence of intention. This area of law raises a profound philosophical and ethical dilemma: how can one be held morally and legally accountable for consequences that, in some sense, are beyond one's control? The concept of moral luck—where factors outside a person's control affect how blameworthy they are deemed—intensifies this challenge. This article explores the relationship between criminal responsibility for negligence and the problem of moral luck, analyzing the theoretical foundations, practical implications, and potential tensions inherent in this controversial area of law.
