Crime and Punishment - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Crime and Punishment - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Volume 37 of "Studies in Law, Politics, and Society" presents a special issue devoted to exploring humanistic perspectives on the subject of punishment. Drawing together a distinguished group of interdisciplinary scholars, it explores the way "deviant" subjects are constructed and made available for punishment, the philosophical context within which decisions about punishment are made, and the inner workings of the penal apparatus. Diverse in their theoretical inspirations and approaches, the articles published here represent a significant advance in our understanding of the complex intersections of punishment, politics, and culture.

Black American Intellectualism and Culture - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Black American Intellectualism and Culture - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

This work pursues to critically probe Black American Intellectualism and Culture in the organizational construct of intellectual studies; cultural studies; literary studies; and social thought. Accent has been placed on an interdisciplinary focus of examining the ethos and memory of Africana people. The intangible view of Africana people is reported and illustrated from an African American prism. This study is an unconventional advance reviewing: history, narratives, biography, autobiography, and epistemology. As Africana scholars research society in the form of politics, business, social, education, political, and economic institutions - the retentive ideas of Africana values, mores, and folkways become imperative to examine events from an assembly of viewpoints. In fact, these variables provide a foundation for amassing query, that narrates and appraises Africana people.

Learning to Think - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Learning to Think - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

"Learning to Think: Thinking to Learn" has grown out of a conference organized by the OECD Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) in July 1989. Its purpose is to discuss and advance the state of knowledge about how young people think and reason. Thinking is a normal activity for every normal human being, ordinary life depends on our ability to think. Thus the prime objectives of formal education in all disciplines have always been the refining and shaping of the powers of thought. This book explores three broad ways of thinking in the context of education, looking firstly at the ''skills'' approach, secondly at the ''infusion model'' and thirdly at the belief that the traditional disciplines and pedagogy of education already provide for the development of thinking.

The Science and Simulation of Human Performance - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

The Science and Simulation of Human Performance - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Simulations are often used in the military and other performance-critical fields (e.g., law enforcement, aviation, emergency management) to assess readiness, to support training, management, and decision making and to conduct mission rehearsal. This volume documents the state of the art and presents a state of the possible individual and small unit human performance research and simulation. Distinguished scientists from within the military, academe, government and private industry consider how best to gather and relate human performance data, and offer specific recommendations to advance the development of models and simulations of individual and small unit behavior. The result is a uniquely interdisciplinary volume that draws upon the knowledge and experience of recognized experts whose insights converge upon problems of common interest and relevance to researchers, analysts, and developers.

Multi-Level Issues in Organizational Behavior and Strategy - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Multi-Level Issues in Organizational Behavior and Strategy - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Using a scientific debate format of a key scholarly essay followed by two commentaries and a rebuttal, this series presents theoretical work, significant empirical studies, methodological developments, analytical techniques, and philosophical treatments to advance the field of multi-level studies, regardless of disciplinary perspective. Similar to Volume 1 (Yammarino & Dansereau, 2002), Volume 2 contains five major essays that cover a range of topics, but in the realms of organizational behavior and strategy. In particular, the five "critical essays" offer extensive literature reviews, new model developments, methodological advancements, and some empirical data for the study of emotions, construct validation, firm performance, interfirm networks, and strategic change. While each of the major essays, as well as the commentaries and rebuttals, is unique in orientation, they share a common bond in raising and addressing multi-level issues, or discussing problems and solutions that involve multiple levels of analysis.

Taxing the Hard-to-tax - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Taxing the Hard-to-tax - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

The goal of this edited volume is to take a hard, objective look at the many different aspects of taxing the hard-to-tax, as well as the many different approaches that have been employed around the world. In the developed and developing world, taxing certain kinds of activities, sectors, or individuals - the so-called "hard-to-tax" - is a challenge for governments. In the past, the practical side of this issue has received some attention, mainly from those working in the trenches of tax administration. There has also been some analytical work on such things as "presumptive" taxation, as well as some empirical work on measuring the hard-to-tax. However, the lessons from all of this work have been very unevenly disseminated, and there are clearly many unresolved issues. With the steady advance of such things as globalization, internet commerce, and tax shelters, the issues in taxing the hard-to-tax will become even more pressing.

Sustainable and Resilient Supply Chain - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Sustainable and Resilient Supply Chain - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Supply chains globally continue to be affected by unprecedented disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic, environmental impacts linked to climate change, and numerous geopolitical issues. Increasingly, resilient and sustainable supply chain management is a necessary area of research in the field of supply chain management. Contributing to both theoretical and empirical literature on resilient and sustainable supply chain management, Sustainable and Resilient Supply Chain illustrates how theoretical approaches from other fields – like the conservation resource theory and systems theory – can be utilised. Practical research is presented in a variety of contexts, including food supply chain, environmental accounting models, energy sector, human resources, modern slavery, horticultural worker exploitation, and sustainable transport in geographies like Australia, European Union, Fiji and India. This volume encourages further empirical research to build theory related to resilient and sustainable supply chain management. The Advances in Environmental Accounting & Management series aims to advance knowledge of the governance and management of corporate environmental impacts and the accounting involved.

Reasoning by Mathematical Induction in Children's Arithmetic - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Reasoning by Mathematical Induction in Children's Arithmetic - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

How do children understand reasoning by mathematical induction? Mathematical induction - Poincare''s reasoning by recurrence - is a standard form of inference with two distinctive properties. One is its necessity. The other is its universality or inference from particular to general. This means that mathematical induction is similar to both logical deduction and empirical induction, and yet is different from both. In a major study 40 years ago, Inhelder and Piaget set out two conclusions about the development of this type of reasoning in advance of logical deduction during childhood. This developmental sequence has gone unremarked in research on cognitive development. This study is an adaptation with a sample of 100 hundred children aged five-seven years in school years one and two. It reveals evidence that children can reason by mathematical induction on tasks based on iterative addition and that their inferences were made by necessity. According to the study the main educational implication is clear: young children can carry out iterative actions on actual objects with a view to reasoning about abstract objects such as numbers.

Children's Lives and Schooling across Societies - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Children's Lives and Schooling across Societies - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

In recent decades, sociological research has investigated the nature of the school institution and its uneven effects on the progress of families, societies, and the global community. Yet, relatively little comparative research on schooling has dealt in a serious way with links between schooling and the other major contexts of childhood: families and communities. This edition of "Research in the Sociology of Education" speaks to the diverse contexts in which children function around the world, and to how these contexts shape school experiences and outcomes. The edition''s authors are international and interdisciplinary. They offer a pastiche of perspectives on a single topic: how the non-school contexts of childhood interact with the school institution to advance modern and not-so-modern forms of virtue, merit, and attainment, in cultural context. This book offers qualitative and statistical portraits of children living in Asian and African countries. It links educational opportunities to the child''s socialization. It urges social scientists and policy makers to consider a child''s surroundings when modeling the modern school system. This book series is available electronically online.

Tourism Policy-Making in the Context of Contested Wicked Problems - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Embedded in and interrelated with its broader socio-economic and political context, the tourism system currently faces profound challenges. Against this backdrop, the book Tourism Policy-Making in the Context of Contested Wicked Problems offers a contemporary and interdisciplinary perspective on tourism public policy to aid the description, analysis, and explanation of these wicked and interconnected, complex policy problems. Current problem-solving capabilities and competences of governments to deal with specific tourism policy issues (or wicked problems) such as the climate emergency, tourism mobility, indigenous disadvantages, the COVID-19 pandemic, or the P2P economy are critically analysed and some interesting insights are offered into transition pathways towards tourism sustainability. The book is part of the Advances in Culture, Tourism and Hospitality Research series which seeks to advance knowledge and sense-making skills in interpreting cultural, organizational, and personal influences relating to tourism and hospitality behaviours. This broad objective includes examining unconscious and conscious thinking processes of tourists, guests, and/or service providers in contexts that relate to tourism and hospitality.
