Abstract:

The focused current reality tree (fCRT) is a simple tool for identifying the core or root problems of an organization or a system. This tool provides the organization with a small number of core problems that, when solved, will increase its value significantly. It also serves as a visual communication tool within the organization. Since the fCRT is a subjective tool, we recommend creating it by interdisciplinary teams. This chapter provides an easy recipe for constructing fCRTs. In a similar manner, the core competences tree (CCT) is a simple yet potent tool for identifying and focusing on the

It goes on to explain the ideology of ecologism and how it can be distinguished from conservatism, liberalism, socialism, feminism, and environmentalism. A central belief of ecologism is that aggregate growth must be reduced, and that this is very unlikely to be ach

This defiance has affected the Union profoundly, and this book dissects the essence of this crisis, examining its history and offering coping methods for the years to come.

Abstract:

Although Swedish local government shares a set of traits that are common to all other European local government systems, it stands out, in many respects, as unique. The particular combination of local responsibility for costly tax-financed national welfare policies, strong and mainly nationally organized political parties at local level, consistent decision-making collectivism, and a type of representative democracy that leaves little room for means of direct democracy make Sweden different. These features are intertwined, reflecting core values of the Scandinavian welfare model. Although many

Abstract:

This book is about good government, especially an ethical and fair government and constitution. It has five key ideas. Understanding these ideas is critical to addressing the problems besetting the American political and economic systems. First, the book proposes the new principle of distributive autonomy to guarantee first-order rights. The principle sharply contrasts with modern, individualistic libertarian ideas. Good governance must be centrally concerned with the distribution of freedom for all. If your own autonomy matters, so does everyone else’s. Valuing the autonomy of others is authe

Instead, they relied on a system of local negotiations, often informal, occasionally invoking state and federal agencies to influence the outcome.

Social Poverty draws on 192 interviews with young, low-income, unmarried parents to investigate the concept of social poverty, using the setting of a government-funded relationship education program.

Although critics view participants’ financial needs as dominating their social concerns, participants themselves are acutely aware of their relational needs.

Abstract:

This book offers a qualified defense of a territorial states system. It argues that three core values—occupancy, basic justice, and collective self-determination—are served by an international system made up of self-governing, spatially defined political units. The defense is qualified because the book does not actually justify all of the sovereignty rights states currently claim and that are recognized in international law. Instead, the book proposes important changes to states’ sovereign prerogatives, particularly with respect to internal autonomy for political minorities, immigration, and n

Abstract:

This article is concerned with only one aspect of the vast literature on MNE–state relations: the impact of the MNE on sovereignty, autonomy, and control. It argues that the mainstream literature of the sovereignty at bay era did not predict the end of the nation-state or conclude that sovereignty is critically compromised either in theory or practice. In fact, while the terms ‘sovereignty’, autonomy', and ‘control’ appear frequently in these discussions, they are rarely defined or even used precisely. At the end of the day MNEs are international or cross-border entities which are of the exist

This chapter provides an overview of the political economy of federalism. The core of the chapter focuses on the classic Tiebout framework and its support for a decentralized federal system. However, it goes beyond the Tiebout world in suggesting a framework that is expanded to take into account bargaining among governmental units. The chapter also describes political models of legislative and executive branch decision-making that suggest the potential benefits and costs associated with centralized government. Ultimately, the choice of an “optimal” level of decentralization depends on the rela

The mechanisms of datafication, commodification, and selection seem to afford tech companies unprecedented infrastructural, sectoral, and intersectoral powers.

The limited data available about a macroscopic system may come in various forms: sharp constraints, expectation values, or control parameters.

In Rights Forfeiture and Punishment, Christopher Heath Wellman argues that those of us who seek to defend the moral permissibility of punishment should shift our focus from general justifying aims to moral side constraints. Given that persons typically have a right not to be subjected to the hard treatment of punishment, it would seem natural to conclude that the permissibility of punishment is centrally a question of rights. Despite this, the vast majority of theorists working on punishment focus instead on important aims, such as achieving retributive justice, deterring crime, restoring vict

Abstract:

The second edition of the Oxford Handbook of Adult Nursing addresses the philosophy, principles, and practice of general adult nursing, and the ways in which general adult nurses relate to people, engage critically with professional knowledge, and organize appropriate nursing care and interventions. The content provides information to help general nurses to draw on their personal and professional values, knowledge, and experience when making general practice decisions and organizing care. The handbook is designed to be a broad reference source, focused on the types of conditions that general a

Abstract:

Focused preparation for Critical Care Certification is needed to ensure success. The Anesthesiology Critical Care Certification examination in particular provides an objective assessment from the perspective of physicians who have a keen perioperative mindset and skillset, while simultaneously demonstrating comfort in caring for patients from every background and co-morbidity as all such patients frequently eventually require pre-operative or post-operative management. The Anesthesiology Critical Care board review provides Critical Care Examination style stems with an emphasis on being oriente

Abstract:

Religion verschwindet im Nebel des Pluralen, verdunstet in der Hitze des Säkularen. So lautet eine gängige These, die an die moderne ‚Meistererzählung‘ von der Entzauberung der Welt und vom Untergang des Religiösen anknüpft. Doch dem postulierten Megatrend vom Verschwinden der Religion steht ihre Rückkehr in vielen Bereichen gesellschaftlichen Lebens entgegen. Die vermeintliche Säkularisierung sieht sich einer Resakralisierung gegenüber. Religion besitzt offenkundig jenseits ihrer vermeintlichen Entzauberung einen produktiven ‚Glutkern‘. Zu denken ist dabei an die Dimension der Transzendenz, d

Abstract:

Much has been written about deaf identities; however, no single book has focused specifically on how different academic disciplines conceptualize deaf identities in one fell swoop. This book does exactly that. It is a unique compilation of multidisciplinary perspectives on the lens of deaf identities written by scholars representing a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, counseling, education, literary criticism, practical religion, philosophy, psychology, sociology, social work, and Deaf Studies. Nowhere else can one find careful scrutiny of the meaning of deaf identities within, f

Abstract:

The public is more interested in agricultural and food issues than ever before, as is evident in the many agricultural controversies debated in the media. Why is it that some people embrace new agricultural technologies while others steadfastly defend traditional farming methods? Why do some prefer to buy food grown around the world while others patronize small, local farmers? In the debates about organic food, genetically modified organisms, and farm animal welfare, it is not always clear what the scientific literature actually says. To understand these controversies, the authors encourage re

Abstract:

American higher education is at a crossroads. Technological innovations and disruptive market forces are buffeting colleges and universities at the very time their financial structure grows increasingly fragile. Disinvestment by states has driven up tuition prices at public colleges, and student debt has reached a startling record-high of one trillion dollars. Cost-minded students and their families--and the public at large--are questioning the worth of a college education, even as study after study shows how important it is to economic and social mobility. And as elite institutions trim finan
