Abstract:

Employers are adopting and refining artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithm-based tools in the workplace, with wide-ranging implications for work and employment. This working paper examines case studies of social dialogue on AI at national, regional, sectoral, company, and workplace levels in Europe, North America, Asia, South America and the Caribbean, and Africa. Findings are organized around three distinct ‘action fields’ in which worker representatives have sought to influence strategies and outcomes associated with the growing use of AI and algorithms in the workplace.

Abstract:

The disc embedding theorem provides a detailed proof of the eponymous theorem in 4-manifold topology. The theorem, due to Michael Freedman, underpins virtually all of our understanding of 4-manifolds in the topological category. Most famously, this includes the 4-dimensional topological Poincaré conjecture. Combined with the concurrent work of Simon Donaldson, the theorem reveals a remarkable disparity between the topological and smooth categories for 4-manifolds. A thorough exposition of Freedman’s proof of the disc embedding theorem is given, with many new details. A self-contained account o

Abstract:

In this chapter, it is argued that the study of World Englishes (WE) should assume a more central place in the analysis of variation and change in the context of language contact. Because they emerge from situations of bilingualism and contact, WE varieties are highly informative with regard to the structural issues of code-switching and convergence (also termed structural borrowing, transfer, interference, imposition). The inherently mixed nature of WE is shown here to mirror the diverse structural patterns that are commonly encountered in bilingual speech. It is argued that different mixing

Is the embedded librarian an equal partner in the course, or is the librarian perceived as a “value-added” extra? What is the place of technology in this effort? Is there a line librarians should not cross?

Abstract During the first two decades of the twenty-first century, the United States and much of the developed world were rocked by three successive economic shocks, each one more severe than the one before. Real relief from these economic shocks, of course, can only come from a restored economy—with balanced strength across many sectors and regions. Safety-net programs can also help alleviate this suffering. They provide urgent financial help, and, properly designed, they can assist, motivate, or nudge recipients to seek and accept new employment. When necessary, they can help recipients to l

Despite the Song of Songs’ apparent and vested interest in the natural world, it has received little scholarly attention from this perspective. This chapter calls attention to the prominent role of land in the Song, and considers the role of the natural world in the poetry’s lyricism. The chapter develops a theoretical concept of “landscape” in dialogue with contemporary geography and landscape architecture. This concept has the advantage of accounting for humanistic dimensions of landscape, especially the material realities of intervention and the role of the perceiver. The chapter then offer

Abstract:

Presuppositions are items of information triggered by certain words and constructions that exhibit ‘projection behaviour’, which is to say that, except in special cases, they will escape from any level of embedding. Presupposed information is given, or at least presented as such, and there are two main theories of what it means for presuppositions to be given. On one account, a presupposition must be entailed in the local context in which it is triggered; on the other, presuppositions require that certain discourse entities be available in the context.

By embedding ritual instructions within a mythical-narrative frame, the authors/editors of Leviticus created a sacred timeless and authoritative world that resists challenge from dissent and doubt. However, narratives interspersed within the ritual texts expose ambiguities within the system and

Abstract:

The chapter discusses the development and syntactic analysis of IPP (infinitivus pro participio), i.e. certain perfect tense constructions in which a verb embedding an infinitive appears in the form of an infinitive itself rather than in the expected form of a past participle. This effect is indicative of verb cluster formation and typically linked to a re-ordering of verbs at the right clausal periphery. It can be observed since the MHG period spreading to more verbs over time in accordance with the typological hierarchy of IPP verbs. IPP is argued to involve true infinitives from the beginni

Thus a re-enactment performs the impossibility of being in another place/time; and that is its basic political impact. The choreographies chosen to be performed in Fake it! function as performatives in the Austian sense: by performing them, the economy of thei

Next it discusses two versions of a strong inertness thesis aiming at justifying Donnellan’s strong claim.
