Homicide: Towards a Deeper Understanding by Sara Skott - Original PDF
Homicide: Towards a Deeper Understanding by Sara Skott - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Sara Skott خلاصه: DOI: 10.4324/9781003105282-1 1 Introduction Why study homicide? Violence haunts commonplace geographies and the imaginations of everyday actors, through the lens of banal crime reporting and celebrated true crime novels. (Linneman, 2015: 514) Few other crimes appear to fascinate the public as much as homicide. The sheer volume of crime podcasts, television shows, and documentaries dedicated to this crime can attest to this fact, not to mention the constant stream of news and media reports of different types of murder flooding our news outlets. There appears to be something deeply captivating, yet simultan- eously horrifying, about the act of taking another human life that has kept us fascinated with grim tales of murder for centuries, if not longer. As the quote by Linneman (2015) mentioned above would indicate, violence truly seems to haunt our everyday lives. It is therefore safe to say that there is a wide- spread, general interest in homicide, which warrants a deeper examination of this crime.

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

Making a Market for Acts of God: The Practice of Risk Trading in the Global Reinsurance Industry - Original PDF
Making a Market for Acts of God: The Practice of Risk Trading in the Global Reinsurance Industry - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Paula Jarzabkowski, Rebecca Bednarek, Paul Spee خلاصه: Reinsurance is a financial market that trades in the risk of unpredictable and devastating disasters - such as Hurricane Katrina, the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, and the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre. Such disasters are increasing in both frequency and severity, with the cost of their losses mounting rapidly. Reinsurance insures insurance companies, enabling them to pay claims arising from these losses. It is thus a market mechanism that is a critical part of the social and economic safety net, helping to pick up the pieces after disasters. Yet, how is the risk of such disasters calculated and traded in a global market? This book brings to life the reinsurance market through vivid real-life tales that draw from an ethnographic, "fly-on-the-wall" study of the global reinsurance industry over three annual cycles. The authors shadowed underwriters around the world as they traded risks through multiple disasters. For instance, this book takes readers into the desperate hours of pricing Japanese risks during March 2011, while the devastating aftermath of the Tohoku earthquake is unfolding. To show how the market works, the book offers authentic tales gathered from observations of reinsurers in Bermuda, Lloyd's of London, Continental Europe and SE Asia as they evaluate, price and compete for different risks as part of their everyday practice. Understanding how this market for disasters works has never been more critical given the impact of climate change and increased global connectivity, where a flood in one country can trigger losses to supply chains around the world. The authors develop a novel concept of how global markets work, which advances scholarship and challenges current thinking about how financial markets trade in intangible assets such as risk. This book will be useful to readers interested in markets for disasters, insurance, reinsurance and financial markets, and academics interested in the practice of financial markets specifically or the practice of strategy and organizations generally.

نویسندگان: Festus K Akinnifesi; et al خلاصه: Agriculture is at the core of rural livelihoods. The viability of rural livelihoods in many developing nations is threatened by several interconnected factors which reduce options for smallholder farmers and rural community dwellers. These include: inadequate food and nutritional imbalance in diets; narrow opportunities for off-farm and off-season income, especially for women and children; and depleting production systems. These negative impacts of modern agriculture are further exacerbated by the loss of biodiversity of wild forest resources due to deforestation, overexploitation and the ‘tragedy of the commons’.
