Full textAbstract:
<p>Since the dawn of civilization, timber has been a primary material for achieving great structural engineering feats. Yet during the late 19th century and most of the 20th century it lost currency as a preferred material for construction of large and tall multi-storey building superstructures. This Structural Engineering Document (SED) addresses a reawakening of interest in timber and timber-based products as primary con-struction materials for relatively tall, multi-storey buildings. Emphasis throughout is on holistically addressing various aspects of performance of complete systems,

Performance measures are a control tool used to navigate and guide managers in the organization. In many situations, an appropriate change of performance measures can bring upon fast and significant improvements in the organization’s performance, thus enhancing its value. This chapter presents the global performance measures that can help managers to focus on activities that need to be improved, which include throughput, operating expenses, inventory, response time, quality, and due-date performance. The global performance measures can be used to measure the whole organization as well as its d

Full textAbstract:
Deaf people are often portrayed as living in a world of silence, cut off both from experiencing musical works and from musical expression. There are, however, many different forms of musical expression in Deaf culture, including “song signing.” This essay explores the idea that deafness, rather than being a disadvantage for musical expression, actually enables distinctive musical performances within the context of song signing. The first section surveys the different varieties of signed song performance, the second contains analyses of videos, and the third compares the Deaf and hearing song-s

Societies continue to struggle with the terrible legacy of the holocaust, but many of them cope through a wide range of performative cultural responses. A canon of more than 750 known plays, musicals, archival adaptations, ceremonies, interactive exhibits, and concerts reflect the manifold ideas of what the Holocaust was, who it affected and how it should be remembered by us all. In many of these works, youth is a key category of importance. Holocaust Memory and Youth Performance is the first critical examination of youth-focused plays and performances about the Holocaust. It considers works t

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This book traces the wedding song tradition, its imagery, and its tropes as a genre that gets crystallized throughout the ages. It explores how wedding poetics permeates ancient Greek literature. It first analyzes how explicit or implicit matrimonial references shape archaic epic diction and become an integral part of epic discourse; orally circulating texts, such as wedding songs, could have a life of their own but, beyond their original context, could also become an integral part of a different genre, especially epic and drama. This work discusses the multiple platforms that enrich

Full textAbstract:
The efficiencies syndrome is a phenomenon that causes people or equipment to work more than necessary. This syndrome is fueled by managerial and cultural factors. The desire to show that the resource is busy is a result of either taking a local perspective or using inappropriate measures. This leads to enhancing this syndrome. Using the utilization of operating rooms as a measure of performance amplifies this syndrome and is counterproductive because it promotes increased utilization as a percentage. The correct measure should be throughput, and it should be measured directly. Because this is

This work focuses on how Mexico’s early twentieth-century educational system promoted the teaching and performance of the Jarabe Tapatío, which is considered to be the national dance of Mexico, in order to culturally unify the country. It argues that in 1920s Mexico, the Jarabe Tapatío worked alongside educational policies designed to assimilate the indigenous and peasant communities, reinforce class status, and encourage nationalistic sentiment. Drawing on archival research and interviews conducted by the author, this work traces the history of the Jarabe Tapatío to demonstrate how it has bee

The Hospital and Clinic Improvement Handbook is about doing more using existing resources. For example, achieving more throughput in the operating rooms, reducing waiting times at the emergency department, and improving clinical quality. This is done using the well-established Lean techniques together with the breakthrough philosophies and techniques of the theory of constraints (TOC). These methods and their underlying tools are put together with techniques and methodologies implemented by the authors in dozens of healthcare organizations.

Full textAbstract:
There are few technical skills that surpass in value the performance of tube thoracostomy. Throughout the career life span of the physician, probability dictates that at least one patient will be encountered who will require pleural drainage. And yet equal in magnitude to the perceived benefits, are the inherent risks, which for the critically ill patient may be poorly tolerated and equally lethal. Thus, it is imperative to approach each intervention with a standardized approach upon which nuanced alterations are built based upon circumstances specific and particular to each case. This chapter

Full textAbstract:
The “evils” of long response times, similar to the “evils” of excess work in process, are responsible for diminished quality and customer satisfaction. There is also an effect of diminishing throughput, control, and cash flow. Long response times (or high level of work in process) add to increase in operating expenses. Shortening response times and reducing the level of work in process are attainable and serve as leverage for significant improvement in organizational performance. Excess work in process can be caused by the efficiencies syndrome, viewing inventory as assets, and ignorance. The

Full textAbstract:
The word ‘expression’, when applied to music, has a comfortably familiar ring to it. However, on careful scrutiny it turns out to be more elusive than one might think. Intrinsic to musical expression is the idea that within music there is something to be expressed, and that this might be reinforced (or undermined) by the performance strategies adopted. The issue becomes more complicated when one asks whether the ‘something’ in question equates to inchoate feeling, to apprehensible meaning or to both in variable proportions. This chapter reviews historical approaches to musical expression and a

The EU’s pluralistic, nonhierarchical system of multilevel governance lacks clear structures of both government and opposition. According to the EU treaties, the presidency of the European Commission is thus not explicitly expected to exercise political leadership. However, the position cannot effectively be exercised without any demonstration of such leadership due to its many leadership functions. Examining this curious mix of strong political demands, weak institutional powers, and need for political leadership, this book systematically analyzes the political leadership performance of the p

If cancer in a patient cannot be cured, then the focus of treatment changes to achieving an improvement in survival time, reducing symptom burden, optimizing performance, and hence improving quality of life (QOL). Palliative care is the last of the four components of a cancer control programme, after prevention, early detection, and diagnosis and treatment.

New Comedy was a Panhellenic phenomenon. It may be that a performance in Athens was still the acme of a comic playwright’s career, but Athens was no longer the exclusive venue of the genre. Yet Athens, or an idealized version of Athens, remained the setting or backdrop for New Comedy, whatever its provenance or intended audience. New Comedy was thus an important vehicle for the dissemination of the Athenian polis model throughout the Hellenistic world, and it was a factor in what has been termed ‘the great convergence’. The role of New Comedy in projecting an idealized image of the city-state

Discussing improvisatory activities in dance, this handbook attests to the presence of improvisation in many forms of dance and to the ways improvisation has been developed and employed for far-reaching purposes. The handbook recognizes that improvisation has been a long-standing and central approach within the choreographic process for many dance makers, while for others it is a performance form in its own right. It is also a key feature, though often implicit and overlooked, of most social dance forms and is widely used within therapeutic, educational, and other applied contexts. Accordingly

By unpacking these discursive constructions, the book depicts the discursive splendour of customary international law.

Abstract Mission Driven Bureaucrats argues that the performance of our governments can be transformed by managing bureaucrats for their empowerment rather than for compliance. Aimed at public sector workers, leaders, academics, and citizens alike, it contends that public sectors too often rely on a managerial approach that seeks to tightly monitor and control employees, and thus demotivates and repels the mission-motivated.
