130 Years of Catching Up with the West A Comparative Perspective on Hungarian Science and Technology Policy-making Since Industrialization

130 Years of Catching Up with the West A Comparative Perspective on Hungarian Science and Technology Policy-making Since Industrialization

This title was first published in 2000: Issues such as globalization and the fight against joblessness as well as the growth dynamics of economies in general have been linked with science and technology. Accordingly the growing public interest in the effects of science and technology on society and politics and vice versa have been the foremost reason for the creation of this study. One of the central questions for politicians as well as for scholars in the field of science and technology is How can I influence a given science and technology system in a way so as to achieve optimal outcomes for a given national economy?. The study at hand tries to answer this question by analyzing the Hungarian research sphere from industrialization until the late-20th century. Since the beginning of industrialization Hungary has made a number of attempts to catch up with the economically more developed Western European countries. The problems encountered in the course of the Hungarian efforts are surprisingly similar to the difficulties that modern fully industrialized economies are facing today. | 130 Years of Catching Up with the West A Comparative Perspective on Hungarian Science and Technology Policy-making Since Industrialization

The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil Supervisions and Commentaries

The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil Supervisions and Commentaries

The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil is comprised of thirteen transcriptions of supervisions Wilfred Bion conducted during his three teaching and speaking tours of Brazil.

Following on from the first volume Bion in Brazil: Supervisions and Commentaries (2017) this book presents each supervision in full with an accompanying commentary written by a senior Brazilian psychoanalyst and Bionian scholar. Arguably no psychoanalyst has had as much impact on psychoanalytic development in Brazil than Bion and this collection of his seminars presented here for the first time acts as a historical document and testament to his legacy in contemporary analysis. The Clinical Thinking of W. R. Bion in Brazil provides a unique opportunity for contemporary psychoanalysts candidates and students to hear the distinctive ‘voice’ of Bion observe how he listens in conversation and learn how he would intervene in and interpret a clinical situation. | The Clinical Thinking of W.

The Development of Child Protection Law and Policy Children Risk and Modernities

The Development of Child Protection Law and Policy Children Risk and Modernities

This book examines how child protection law has been shaped by the transition to late modernity and how it copes with the ever-changing concept of risk. The book traces the evolution of the contemporary child protection system through historical changes assessing the factors that have influenced the development of legal responses to abuse over a 130-year period. It does so by focussing on the Republic of Ireland where child protection has become emblematic of wider social change. The work draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources including legislation case law and official and media reports of child protection inquiries. It also utilises insights developed through an extensive examination of parliamentary debates on child protection matters. These materials are assessed through the lens of critical discourse analysis to explore the relationship between law social policy and social theory as they effect child protection. While the book utilises primarily Irish sources this multidisciplinary approach ensures the argument has international applicability. The book will be a valuable resource for all those with an interest in the development of child protection law. | The Development of Child Protection Law and Policy Children Risk and Modernities

The Political History of Modern Japan Foreign Relations and Domestic Politics

The Political History of Modern Japan Foreign Relations and Domestic Politics

Spanning the 130-year period between the end of the Tokugawa Era and the end of the Cold War this book introduces students to the formation collapse and rebirth of the modern Japanese state. It demonstrates how faced with foreign threats Japan developed a new governing structure to deal with these challenges and in turn gradually shaped its international environment. Had Japan been a self-sufficient power like the United States it is unlikely that external relations would have exercised such great control over the nation. And if it were a smaller country it may have been completely pressured from the outside and could not have influenced the global stage on its own. For better or worse therefore this book argues Japan was neither too large nor too small. Covering the major events actors and institutions of Japan’s modern history the key themes discussed include: Building the Meiji state and Constitution. The establishment of Parliament. The First Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese Wars. Party Politics and International Cooperation. The Pacific War. Development of LDP politics. Changes in the international order and the end of the Cold War. This book written by one of Japan's leading experts on Japan's political history will be an essential resource for students of Japanese modern history and politics. | The Political History of Modern Japan Foreign Relations and Domestic Politics

Global Stock Market Development Quantitative and Behavioural Analysis

Global Stock Market Development Quantitative and Behavioural Analysis

In the current era of globalised financial markets the stock market cannot be assessed solely by comparing quantitative features such as the number of listed companies or capitalisation on the stock exchange. This is of secondary importance from an investor's point of view. What is important however is how a given stock market behaves towards the environment – whether it is ‘hyperactive’ or ‘excessively lethargic’ in response to information. This book provides an innovative tool for assessing global stock markets. It describes the complex concept of ‘stock market development’ in light of classical and behavioural finance theories and considers both quantitative (the number of listed companies turnover etc. ) and behavioural aspects (price volatility the behaviour of fundamental indicators of listed companies). Based on an innovative method for assessing development the author analyses 130 stock markets indicating those that are more developed in terms of quantity and behaviour. Ultimately this enables the assessment of which markets are more or less developed and why. This knowledge used properly offers an advantage over other financial market participants and allows for the comprehensive assessment of individual stock markets which can support the process of making good investment decisions. The book is an invaluable resource for research fellows and students in economics particularly the field of finance. It is also addressed to business and stock market practitioners such as financial market analysts brokers and investment advisers. | Global Stock Market Development Quantitative and Behavioural Analysis

Implementing Hoshin Kanri How to Manage Strategy Through Policy Deployment and Continuous Improvement

Implementing Hoshin Kanri How to Manage Strategy Through Policy Deployment and Continuous Improvement

This book focuses on the implementation of Hoshin Kanri. It is a response to most books on strategic planning that tend to downplay the implementation and only describe the fully implemented planning process. The power of this book originates from a project in which a team of five professionals over a period of three years implemented Hoshin Kanri in 14 companies; results were drawn from 130 workshops with leadership teams. The project team subsequently ran several accelerators inside large and small companies as well as public institutions. All these experiences together form the implementation focus of the book. Moreover the organization of the book mirrors the message of its scientific thinking which is also the basic principle of Hoshin Kanri: Chapter 1 focuses on the basic analysis—Is Hoshin Kanri something for your organization? Chapter 2 addresses the ambition—What is the vision for strategy work in your organization? Chapter 3 presents the conditions needed for effective strategic work. Chapter 4 discusses the choice of implementation strategy and your role as the change agent. Chapter 5 describes how Hoshin Kanri works when implemented. Chapter 6 addresses coaching/mentoring and the Kata philosophy. Chapter 7 presents important analytical tools. Appendix 1 describes the journey made by a medium-sized construction company. Essentially this book describes in a concrete and structured way how you—the change agent—can use Hoshin Kanri in your organization to tackle large and complex challenges. | Implementing Hoshin Kanri How to Manage Strategy Through Policy Deployment and Continuous Improvement

Visible Learning: The Sequel A Synthesis of Over 2 100 Meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement

Visible Learning: The Sequel A Synthesis of Over 2 100 Meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement

When the original Visible Learning® was published in 2008 it instantly became a publishing sensation. Interest in the book was unparalleled; it sold out in days and was described by the TES as revealing teaching’s Holy Grail. Now John Hattie returns to this ground-breaking work. The research underlying this book is now informed by more than 2 100 meta-analyses (more than double that of the original) drawn from more than 130 000 studies and has involved more than 400 million students from all around the world. But this is more than just a new edition. This book is a sequel that highlights the major story taking in the big picture to reflect on the implementation in schools of Visible Learning how it has been understood – and at times misunderstood – and what future directions research should take. Visible Learning: The Sequel reiterates the author’s desire to move beyond claiming what works to what works best by asking crucial questions such as: Why is the current grammar of schooling so embedded in so many classrooms and can we improve it? Why is the learning curve for teachers after the first few years so flat? How can we develop teacher mind-frames to focus more on learning and listening? How can we incorporate research evidence as part of the discussions within schools? Areas covered include: The evidence base and reactions to Visible Learning The Visible Learning model The intentional alignment of learning and teaching strategies The influence of home students teachers classrooms schools learning and curriculum on achievement The impact of technology Building upon the success of the original this highly anticipated sequel expands Hattie’s model of teaching and learning based on evidence of impact and is essential reading for anyone involved in the field of education either as a researcher teacher student school leader teacher trainer or policy maker. | Visible Learning: The Sequel A Synthesis of Over 2 100 Meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement
