By Nathaniel Cadle, Rupsa Banerjee. 2022
Rethinking Place Through Literary Form regards the relationship between place and linguistic form as challenging real and perceived configurations of place…
and renegotiating geopolitically determined categories of the ‘centre’ and ‘periphery’. The volume argues that the rise of scattered communities, displaced physically and psychologically by urban and alienated geographies, necessitates linguistic negotiations of one’s locatedness in place as the chief means of uncovering and re-building identity. By looking at narrative re-imaginings of forgotten and interrupted intimacies between habitation and place from diverse parts of the world, the twelve chapters address the growing need to expand and alter approaches to literary representations of modernity and modes of self-location.This volume analyses the nature of the mime art of Deburau and of the pantomime performances of the Théâtre des…
Funambules in Paris in the context of Romantic art, literature and socio-political thought. Deburau and the Théâtre des Funambules are characteristic of Romantic art in that they are closely associated with certain aspirations for social reform, even revolution. Deburau was an iconic figure for intellectuals such as George Sand who effectively considered him to be part of the ‘poète-maçon’ movement. Edward Nye examines this fascination as well as the myth which developed from it. With its unique framing in art, literature and politics, this book is a must read for undergraduates and postgraduates in theatre, literary studies, and the Romantic period.Humanizing Business: What Humanities Can Say to Business (Issues in Business Ethics #53)
By R. Edward Freeman, Michel Dion, Sergiy D. Dmytriyev. 2022
This book is about humanizing business. In contrast to the mainstream modern management and leadership literature, this book provides distinctly…
humane perspectives on business. The volume travels outside the world of business to explore what Humanities – such as Philosophy, History, Literature, Creative Arts, and Cultural Studies – can offer to business. Renowned scholars from different Humanities disciplines, as well as management researchers exploring the heritage of Humanities, convey what it actually means to make business more humane. The book strives to humanize business. It aims to show that it is not people who have to suppress their human feelings, aspirations, and beliefs when they are at their workplaces, but it is business itself that needs to be redefined by the human norms of human beings. Companies should care about their employees and other stakeholders letting them be themselves, i.e. be human, at work and beyond. The book will be of interest to management scholars across various business disciplines. It can also be used as teaching material in the classroom with MBA students, especially in Business Ethics, Business and Society, Sustainability, Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management and other management courses. The volume will also be of interest to scholars that work in different Humanities fields and whose interests span organizations, management, and business. Finally, many practitioners in the business world, especially those in managerial and leadership positions, will find the book both thought-provoking and useful for them as well.Chapter 37 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.Ensuring Sustainability: New Challenges for Organizational Engineering (Lecture Notes in Management and Industrial Engineering)

By Michael Weeks. 2022
In 1870 several hundred settlers arrived at a patch of land at the confluence of the South Platte and Cache…
la Poudre Rivers in Colorado Territory. Their planned agricultural community, which they named Greeley, was centered around small landholdings, shared irrigation, and a variety of market crops. One hundred years later, Greeley was the home of the world&’s largest concentrated cattle-feeding operation, with the resources of an entire region directed toward manufacturing beef. How did that transformation happen? Cattle Beet Capital is animated by that question. Expanding outward from Greeley to all of northern Colorado, Cattle Beet Capital shows how the beet sugar industry came to dominate the region in the early twentieth century through a reciprocal relationship with its growers that supported a healthy and sustainable agriculture while simultaneously exploiting tens of thousands of migrant laborers. Michael Weeks shows how the state provided much of the scaffolding for the industry in the form of tariffs and research that synchronized with the agendas of industry and large farmers. The transformations that led to commercial feedlots began during the 1930s as farmers replaced crop rotations and seasonal livestock operations with densely packed cattle pens, mono-cropped corn, and the products pouring out of agro-industrial labs and factories. Using the lens of the northern Colorado region, Cattle Beet Capital illuminates the historical processes that made our modern food systems.Personalcontrolling: Entwicklung, Systematisierung und Beurteilung (BestMasters)
By Vanessa Sacco. 2022
Die Wahrnehmung und Bedeutung des Personalbereichs unterlag in den letzten Jahrzehnten einer starken Veränderungsdynamik. Faktoren wie der demografische Wandel und…
der zunehmende Fachkräftemangel haben dazu beigetragen, dass das Personal in unserer heutigen Unternehmenswelt nicht mehr nur als reiner Produktionsfaktor angesehen wird, sondern als Humankapital, das einen maßgeblichen Wertschöpfungsbeitrag leistet und somit auch einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf den Erfolg eines Unternehmens ausübt. Die noch relativ junge Disziplin des Personalcontrollings steht damit in der Verantwortung, bedarfsgerecht aufbereitete Personalkennzahlen bereitzustellen, auf deren Basis fundierte Managemententscheidungen getroffen werden können. Vanessa Sacco liefert einen fundierten Überblick zur historischen Entwicklung des Personalcontrollings und des Personalreportings. Sie zeigt auf, wie insbesondere die Veränderung der Arbeitswelt, das Thema Nachhaltigkeit und die Digitalisierung den Blickwinkel auf das Personal mit Hilfe entsprechender Kennzahlen verändert haben und entwickelt einen detaillierten Systematisierungsvorschlag für die Gestaltung des internen und externen Personalreportings. Dabei erfahren die wesentlichen Personalkennzahlen eine umfassende Erläuterung und eine Beurteilung der individuellen Aussagekraft.Human Awareness, Energy and Environmental Attitudes
By Boris Aberšek, Andrej Flogie. 2022
This book raises awareness about environmental issues that result from energy production, extraction and conversion, and examines the attitudes people…
have about these issues. It discusses societal and educational relations associated with energy and environmental issues, focusing on philosophical, sociological and psychological views, and provides an analysis of how the individual and the society perceive, process and analyze the information on this subject. The authors present the concept of environmentally conscious engineering, discussing various forms of energy extraction and production, and detail alternative, under-researched and unaffordable solutions, such as nuclear fusion and artificial photosynthesis. The book also touches on topics such as the storage of energy and greenhouse gases, recycling and reuse of energy waste, and energy saving and efficiency. The book will be of interest to students and researchers of environmentally conscious engineering, energy use, and human dimensions of ecology and the environment, as well as NGOs, policy makers, and environmental activists.This book presents a unique analysis of modern Russian provincial society. Based on detailed empirical evidence, it develops a theoretical…
model of Russian provincial society in the late 20th century and the early 21st century. The book explains how under the conditions of catastrophic changes, Russian provincial societies have undergone a structural transformation. It further sheds light on the transformation of the economic behavior of the population and households with regard to economic practices, crafts, and revived archaic forms of labor behavior. Summarizing the extensive empirical evidence, the book puts forward the concept of complementarity of two social structures at the local level: a ground "soft communal" structure and a "tightening with an iron hoop" estate state structure. Next, it discusses the stability and resistance of the local social structure to external political disturbances. Based on the presented analysis, the book introduces several independent criteria on the basis of which it establishes the typology of all empirically observed forms of societies. Subsequently, the book identifies six main types of Russian provincial societies. It explains how depending on the type, the different societies either adapt to political and economic changes in different ways, stay unchanged or transform their structure. The book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of economics, political science, sociology, and anthropology, interested in a better understanding of transformation studies, population and household economics, provincial societies, as well as Russian societal structures.Propuestas del bicentenario: Rutas para el desarrollo regional

Multicriteria and Optimization Models for Risk, Reliability, and Maintenance Decision Analysis: Recent Advances (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science #321)
By Enrico Zio, Adiel Teixeira de Almeida, Ming J. Zuo, Love Ekenberg, Philip Scarf. 2022
This book considers a broad range of areas from decision making methods applied in the contexts of Risk, Reliability and…
Maintenance (RRM). Intended primarily as an update of the 2015 book Multicriteria and Multiobjective Models for Risk, Reliability and Maintenance Decision Analysis, this edited work provides an integration of applied probability and decision making. Within applied probability, it primarily includes decision analysis and reliability theory, amongst other topics closely related to risk analysis and maintenance. In decision making, it includes multicriteria decision making/aiding (MCDM/A) methods and optimization models. Within MCDM, in addition to decision analysis, some of the topics related to mathematical programming areas are considered, such as multiobjective linear programming, multiobjective nonlinear programming, game theory and negotiations, and multiobjective optimization. Methods related to these topics have been applied to the context of RRM. In MCDA, several other methods are considered, such as outranking methods, rough sets and constructive approaches. The book addresses an innovative treatment of decision making in RRM, improving the integration of fundamental concepts from both areas of RRM and decision making. This is accomplished by presenting current research developments in decision making on RRM. Some pitfalls of decision models on practical applications on RRM are discussed and new approaches for overcoming those drawbacks are presented.Scanned: Why Vaccine Passports and Digital IDs Will Mean the End of Privacy and Personal Freedom
By Nick Corbishley. 2022
Imagine being physically denied access to your office, business, or livelihood. Imagine being refused entry to a grocery store or…
being told who you can or cannot sit with at a restaurant. Imagine being barred from a hospital room when you or your family member needs critical care. Unthinkable? Today, these scenarios and worse are happening in “democracies” all over the world, and could be our collective future—orchestrated by AI, Big Tech, and state-sponsored apps—all in the name of “protecting” public health with vaccine passports. The stakes could not be higher. If you do not have a vaccine passport, you will be prevented from accessing basic services, from earning a living or traveling within your own country. Even if you do have one, you will be exposed to unprecedented levels of government and corporate surveillance, data mining, and behavioral control. In Scanned, investigative journalist Nick Corbishley examines and exposes the lies and overreach that underpin the wholesale erosion of personal freedoms that is happening at an alarming rate. In clear language supported by rigorous research, Corbishley uncovers how the rollout of vaccine passports not only represents an unprecedented violation of privacy and bodily autonomy, but how it perpetuates the idea that a “small” collective sacrifice will allow us to return to normality. If things continue on the current path, Corbishley makes clear, getting back to “normal” is never happening. Put simply, instead of a return to normality, we will see the creation of a starkly different form of existence in which most of us will have virtually no agency over our own lives. Inside Scanned, you’ll also find: The massive implications of a tech-enabled digital ID, social credit systems, and biometric tracking How basic freedoms and privacy are being handed over to the state and private companies without our knowledge or consent How government programs and increased surveillance will facilitate discrimination, segregation, and stigmas for huge segments of the population Few people want to be seen as outliers, especially if it means feeling responsible or being blamed for the suffering and deaths of others. “But there is a fundamental flaw in applying the ‘greater good’ argument to vaccine passports,” Corbishley writes, “because the passports themselves offer precious little in the way of potential good—and a huge amount in the way of potential harm.” This is not a liberal or conservative debate. This is not a vaccinated or unvaccinated debate. This is about freedom, global democracy, and how much we are willing to give up. This is about deciding when it is time to say, “enough!”Security Analysis: Sixth Edition, Foreword By Warren Buffett
