Dynamic Détente. The United States and Europe, 1964–1975 - PDF
نویسندگان: Stephan Kieninger خلاصه: Détente seemed to prolong the division of Europe. It seemed to make America lose sight of its mission. From the perspective of its critics, détente allowed for the Soviet Union’s arms buildup in the 1970s, and it allegedly precipitated America’s decline in the wake of the Vietnam War. That is the traditional Cold War narrative.1 This book tells a different story though. I argue that the power of dynamic détente policies transformed Europe in the shadow of the military status quo. This study depicts the origins and the implementation of American policies to overcome Europe’s division peace- fully through the kind of dynamic détente that was codified in the Helsinki Final Act of 1975. I emphasize that the transformative effects of the Helsinki Accords had been envisaged since the 1960s: Lyndon Johnson’s bridge build- ing and Willy Brandt’s Ostpolitik were the forerunners for the Helsinki pro- cess. Johnson and Brandt were eager to foster liberalizing changes in Eastern Europe through an expansion of East-West communication. The assumption was that the Communist rules were prepared to open up their systems gradu- ally for freer movement of people, information, and ideas provided that they were granted international security

Economic Crime by Mark Button, Branislav Hock and David Shepherd - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Mark Button, Branislav Hock and David Shepherd خلاصه: In the midst of the summer of 2021, Boris Johnson’s government in the UK published a crime plan (Home Office, 2021). A few days earlier the Office for National Statistics (ONS) had released the latest crime statistics from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW). This had shown a 36% increase in fraud and computer misuse offences, which now accounted for the clear majority of crimes – 6.3 million of the 11.1 million estimated crimes (ONS, 2021). One would have expected a flourish of media interest and comment on the plan, particularly as it contained a whole chapter on fraud and online offences, on what the impact on fraud might be. The media, however, were much more interested in other aspects of the plan: “Boris Johnson pledges to target crime and anti-social behaviour” – BBC News “Freed burglars to wear 24-hour tags under Prime Minister’s Crime Crackdown” – Telegraph “Thieves tagged 24-hours a day and crooks forced to clean streets in crime crackdown” – Express

Essentials of Flow Assurance Solids in Oil and Gas Operations Understanding Fundamentals, Characterization, Prediction, Environmental Safety, and Managemen - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Abdullah Hussein خلاصه: ntroduction Oil and gas were formed over millions of years from the dead bodies of plankton (tiny marine organ- isms). These prehistoric dead plankton and their naturally engineered product have dominated and shaped modern times into “the Great Oil Age,” as McKenzie-Brown, Jaremko, and Finch titled their book on the subject [1]. Petroleum shapes our modern times in two main ways: first by serving as the main source of energy, and secondly by being the raw material for thousands of products that play critical roles in modern civilization. Fossil fuels still constitute the major global source of energy, despite the recent advances in renew- able sources of energy. Fossil fuels represent 85% of global primary energy consumption [2,3], with oil remaining as the most used source in the energy mix (33%–34%), as shown in Fig. 1.1. The global consumption of and demand for hydrocarbons (oil and gas) outweigh that of other sources of energy such as coal, nuclear, and renewable energies, due to the fast-growing population and newly emerging technologies. The global energy demand is projected to more than double by 2050 due to the growth in population and economies [4]. The demand for gas is growing faster than the demand for oil, especially in developing countries [5,6]

Execution Culture in Nineteenth Century Britain - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Patrick Low, Helen Rutherford, and Clare Sandford-Couch خلاصه: In his diary entry of 23 August 1844 railway clerk Richard Lowry reflected on his attendance the preceding day at the hanging of Mark Sherwood on Newcastle’s Town Moor. Lowry noted that the streets of Newcastle were ‘literally crammed with people’ and that there were ‘countless thousands crowding’ towards the Moor, to witness the spectacle of a public execution. Despite taking up a prime position some ‘20 yards from the gallows’, Lowry was far from a proponent of capital punishment. He reflected: ‘what will future ages say at such barbarous proceedings as this. A time is fast coming when such murder will be no longer perpetrated.’1

HANDBOOK OF COLLABORATIVE PUBLIC MANAGEMENT by Jack Wayne Meek - PDF
نویسندگان: Jack Wayne Meek خلاصه: 1 Introduction: collaborative public management as an emergent field Jack Wayne Meek Collaborative public management (CPM) is now a central area of study (O’Leary and Vij 2012) and practice (McKinney and Johnson 2009; Linden 2010; Agranoff 2012) in public administration. As a field of study, its origins can be traced to public management research in intergovernmental relations. Ground-breaking work in the field came from examining intergovernmental networks (Agranoff 1990; Rhodes 1997; Kickert, Klijn and Koppenjan 1997; Agranoff and McGuire 2003, among others). The study of collaborative public man- agement received focused attention examining various models and typologies in networks (Mandell 2001) and in a 2006 symposium edited by Rosemary O’Leary, Catherine Gerard and Lisa Blomgren Bingham (2006). In 2008, Lisa Blomgren Bingham and Rosemary O’Leary collected works from the third Minnowbrook Conference that emphasized Big Ideas in Collaborative Public Management (Bingham and O’Leary 2008). The status of the field and an assessment of where the field is headed was also provided by Rosemary O’Leary and Nidhi Vij (2012).

Handbook of Research on Promoting Higher- Order Skills and Global Competencies in Life and Work - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Jared Keengwe خلاصه: ABSTRACT Critical thinking and other higher-order thinking skills are key objectives of higher education. Through the development of higher-order thinking skills, students are able to discern information from multiple, often competing sources, make sound judgements, draw conclusions, and enact creative solutions to complex problems. However, faculty can struggle with how to help students develop higher-order think- ing skills, relying instead on transmission of knowledge, focusing on what to learn instead of how to learn. In this chapter, the author provides insights into the connections between using gamification as a pedagogical approach, and the development of higher-order thinking skills. The chapter addresses perspectives on higher-ordering thinking, approaches to gamification in college courses, and concludes with recommendations for faculty in approaching gamification

Hans Kelsen Biographie eines Rechtswissenschaftlers by Mohr Siebeck - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Mohr Siebeck خلاصه: Im August 1964 trat der deutsch-amerikanische Politikwissenschaftler Hans Mor- genthau an die Rockefeller Foundation mit der Idee heran, der weltberühmte Jurist Hans Kelsen solle an den Comer See nach Italien fahren, wo die Foundation noch heute die Villa Serbelloni besitzt, und dort »an intellectual history of his life and times« verfassen. Die Rockefeller Foundation war allerdings skeptisch, ob der bereits 83-jährige Gelehrte, der zu jener Zeit in Berkeley in Kalifornien lebte, überhaupt noch im Stande sei, nach Europa zu reisen und eine derartige Arbeit zu schreiben. 1 Morgenthau meinte hierauf, dass die Biographie ja auch in Berkeley verfasst werden und man Kelsen eine Sekretärin beistellen könne, wofür er Helen Smelser, die Frau des in Berkeley unterrichtenden Soziologieprofessors Neil Smelser vorschlug, zumal diese schon früher mit Kelsen zusammengearbeitet hatte. Tatsächlich gewährte die Rockefeller Foundation in der Folge einen Grant in Höhe von $ 3.500,–, sodass die Arbeiten beginnen konnten.

Psychiatric mental health nursing by Karyn I. Morgan, Mary C. - Epub + Converted PDF
نویسندگان: Karyn I. Morgan, Mary C. خلاصه: Davis Edge is an online platform that affords faculty and students access to over 1,000 NCLEX-style questions, with complete and detailed rationales for all correct answers and incorrect distractors. Davis Edge provides faculty with a powerful assessment tool that seamlessly integrates with learning management systems and gradebooks. As students take quizzes in Davis Edge, the system provides data back to faculty as well, tracking student progress and reporting on areas of student strength and weakness (as individuals and at the cohort level) to assist with remediation. These tools empower instructors to continuously take the vital signs of their students’ performance—Davis Edge’s real-time analysis helps indicate when students are struggling with course content, so faculty can more quickly and easily identify, monitor, and support at- risk individuals, as well as track overall class trends. All questions in Davis Edge are completely different from those in the faculty test bank, so that quizzing and examinations are separate experiences. For students, the Davis Edge platform offers nearly endless opportunities to ensure that they comprehend and retain the information presented in the textbook.

Statistics for Business & Economics by David_R_Anderson,_Dennis_J_Sweeney - Original PDF
نویسندگان: David_R_Anderson,_Dennis_J_Sweeney خلاصه: This text is the 14th edition of STATISTICS FOR BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS. In this edition, we include procedures for statistical analysis using Excel 2016 and JMP Student Edition 14. In MindTap Reader, we also include instructions for using the exceptionally popular open-source language R to perform statistical analysis. We are excited to introduce two new coauthors, Michael J. Fry of the University of Cincinnati and Jeffrey W. Ohlmann of the University of Iowa. Both are accomplished teachers and researchers. More details on their backgrounds may be found in the About the Authors section. The remainder of this preface describes the authors’ objectives in writing STATISTICS FOR BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS and the major changes that were made in developing the 14th edition. The purpose of the text is to give students, primarily those in the fields of business administration and economics, a conceptual introduction to the field of statistics and its many applications. The text is applications-oriented and written with the needs of the nonmathematician in mind; the mathematical prerequisite is understanding of algebra. Applications of data analysis and statistical methodology are an integral part of the or- ganization and presentation of the text material. The discussion and development of each technique is presented in an application setting, with the statistical results providing insights to decisions and solutions to problems. Although the book is applications oriented, we have taken care to provide sound meth- odological development and to use notation that is generally accepted for the topic being covered. Hence, students will find that this text provides good preparation for the study of more advanced statistical material. A bibliography to guide further study is included as an appendix

Das Europäische Parlament 1979–2004 by Verlag W. Kohlhammer - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Verlag W. Kohlhammer خلاصه: 2004, Brüssel, 7.00 Uhr: Der Schuman-Kreisel, einer der Hauptverkehrskno- tenpunkte im Europadistrikt, wird wie fast jeden Morgen von hunderten Au- tofahrern1 , nicht zuletzt Angestellten und Abgeordneten des Europäischen Parlaments (EP), durchfahren und überlastet. Haben sie ihn passiert, ragt auf der rechten Seite das imposante Gebäude der Europäischen Kommission in die Höhe, ein paar Straßen weiter die Gebäude des Europäischen Parlaments. Als Metapher für Selbstfindung und Selbstorganisation lässt sich das frühmorgend- liche Treiben auf den Straßen unmittelbar vor den europäischen Institutionen lesen. Darin ist es vergleichbar mit der Selbstfindung und Selbstverortung, die das Europäische Parlament seit 1979 zu jener Institution machten, die wir heute kennen. 2004, Brüssel, 7.00 Uhr, Rue Wiertz: Noch ist es still vor den Gebäuden des Europäischen Parlaments. Hohe Glasfassaden auf der einen Seite und ein im- posanter, säulenumkränzter Eingang auf der anderen Seite flankieren die sehr klein erscheinende Rue Wiertz. Ein schmaler Durchgang führt zu den neuesten Gebäuden über der Gare du Luxembourg. Glasbrücken verbinden alle Bauten miteinander. Die ersten, in Anzüge und Kostüme gekleideten Personen, aber auch die in Jeans und mit Laptop unter dem Arm, laufen auf den Eingang zu, die obligatorische Security-Card bereitwillig gezückt. In der Eingangshalle tref- fen Abgeordnete, Praktikanten und persönliche Referenten aufeinander, um ihren Arbeitstag zu beginnen. Für die Verwaltungsangestellten hat er längst be- gonnen. Alles läuft in festen Bahnen ab, die den Menschen außerhalb des Par- laments jedoch technisch, hochbürokratisch und weit weg von ihrem eigenen Alltag erscheinen mögen
