Umstrukturierungen in der internationalen Arbeitsteilung sowie produktionstech nische und arbeitsorganisatorische Umwalzungen auf Basis der Mikroelektronik als neuer Schlusseltechnologie fuhren gegenwartig zu weitreichenden Veranderungen des betrieblichen Arbeits- und Produktionsprozesses. Diese Entwicklungen sind nicht nur durch endogene technische und okonomische Tendenzen bedingt, sondern sind in ihrem Entstehungs-und Wirkungszusammenhang wesentlich auch - so die leitende Hypothese in diesem Sammelband - durch politische Prozesse bestimmt. Bei der theoretischen und handlungspraktischen Erfassung dieses Zusammenhangs wird jedoch noch immer in der politischen Praxis wie im Wissenschaftssystem eine deutliche Bruchstelle sichtbar: Betriebliche Arbeits-und Produktionsprozesse wer den ohne Politik und Politik ohne Bezug auf betriebliche Produktionsprozesse ana lysiert. Der Versuch, diese beiden gesellschaftlichen Funktionsbereiche starker auf einander zu beziehen und eine Konzeption von "Arbeitspolitik" zu entwickeln, bil det auch in der internationalen Diskussion verstarkt zum Fokus theoretischer und empirischer Studien. Auf dem Kongress der Deutschen Vereinigung fur Politische Wissenschaft im Ok tober 1982 in Berlin wurde erstmals zu dem Thema "Arbeitspolitik" eine Arbeits gruppe gebildet, an der sich Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher disziplinarer Ausrich tungen beteiligten."

Die Hochschule fur Wirtschaft und Politik Hamburg ist schon seit Jahren auf ver schiedenste Art und Weise mit dem Thema "Frau" befasst. Seit 1978 gibt es einzel ne Lehrveranstaltungen mit frauenspezifischen Themenstellungen. Ab Sommerse mester 1983 sind zwei derartige Veranstaltun en zum festen Bestandteil des regula ren Kursplans geworden. Die Hamburger Frauenwoche wird seit 1981 einmal jahr lich von der Hochschule als Mitveranstalterin zusammen mit dem Verein "Frauen lernen gemeinsam e. V. " in ihren Raumen durchgefuhrt. Schliesslich hat sich die Hochschule seit 1982 an dem kurzlich abgeschlossenen hochschulubergreifenden Frauenforschungsprojekt "Bedingungen und Moglichkeiten zentraler und dezentra ler Institutionalisierung von Frauenstudien und Frauenforschung" beteiligt und be absichtigt, die dort vorliegenden positiven Ansatze auch gemeinsam mit den ande ren beteiligten Hochschulen fortzufuhren. Damit ist spezifische Lehre und For schung zum Thema "Frau" bereits seit langem vermittelt uber einzelne Hochschul lehrer/innen ein Aktivitatsschwerpunkt an der Hochschule, der sich in jungster Zeit auch institutionell zu verankern beginnt. Diese Entwicklung nahmen lehrende Frauen nan der Hochschule im Sommer 1983 zum Anlass, sich zusammenzusetzen und uber diesbezugliche Forschungsakti vitaten und Arbeitsproblerne auszutauschen. Uberraschendes Eregebnis war, dass vielmehr Kolleginnen als allgemein vermutet und bekannt uber frauenspezifische Fragestellungen arbeiten. Aus dem anfanglichen Wunsch, sich innerhalb der eigenen Gruppe uber die Inhalte dieser Arbeit auszutauschen, entstand die Idee zu diesem Jahrbuch, die in den Hochschulgremien positiv aufgenommen wurde. In der Folgezeit kamen einige Kollegen mit ihren Beitragen hinzu."

Workers against the City - The Fight for Free Speech in Hague v. CIO (Paperback): Donald W. Rogers Workers against the City - The Fight for Free Speech in Hague v. CIO (Paperback)

The 1939 Supreme Court decision Hague v. CIO was a constitutional milestone that strengthened the right of Americans, including labor organizers, to assemble and speak in public places. Donald W. Rogers eschews the prevailing view of the case as a morality play pitting Jersey City, New Jersey, political boss Frank Hague against the Committee for Industrial Organization (CIO) and allied civil libertarian groups. Instead, he draws on a wide range of archives and evidence to re-evaluate Hague v. CIO from the ground up. Rogers's review of the case from district court to the Supreme Court illuminates the trial proceedings and provides perspectives from both sides. As he shows, the economic, political, and legal restructuring of the 1930s refined constitutional rights as much as the court case did. The final decision also revealed that assembly and speech rights change according to how judges and lawmakers act within the circumstances of a given moment. Clear-eyed and comprehensive, Workers against the City revises the view of a milestone case that continues to impact Americans' constitutional rights today.

Der Begriff industrial relations hat erst in jungster Zeit Eingang in die sozialwissen 1 schaftliche Forschung der Bundesrepublik gefunden. Bei dieser Feststellung wird nicht ubersehen, dass Teilbereiche, wie etwa die Gewerkschaften und ihre Politik, 2 durchaus auch schon fruher das sozialwissenschaftliche Interesse gefunden haben. Ei ne solche Einschrankung des Untersuchungsfeldes verkennt jedoch, dass sich, um auf einen von Theodor Geiger gepragten Begriff zuruckzugreifen, mit der "Institutionali 3 sierung des Klassenantagonismus" zwischen Arbeit und Kapital bzw. zwischen die In teressenverbande beider Seiten ein Netz vielfaltiger institutioneller und organisatori scher Vermittlungsmechanismen geschoben hat. Dadurch muss sich die isolierte Be trachtung gewerkschaftlichen Handeins als unzureichend erweisen. Theoretisches Be muhen um den Gegenstandsbereich der industrial relations muss vielmehr immer um die Einbeziehung des gesamten Spannungsfeldes zwischen Kapital und Arbeit bemuht 4 sein. Haufig wird das nur geringe Bemuhen der Sozialwissenschaften und insbesondere der Soziologie in der Bundesrepublik um den Gegenstandsbereich der industriellen Ar beitsbeziehungen mit dem Hinweis zu erklaren versucht, dass sich irrfolge einer umfang reichen rechtlichen Normierung des Arbeitsverhaltnisses ln diesem Land eine vorwie 5 gend juristische Betrachtungsweise durchgesetzt hat. Neben der Tatsache, dass durch Gesetzgebung in starkem Masse Einfluss auf die Regelung von Arbeitsverhaltnissen ge nommen wird, kann es auch als Ausdruck weitgehend verrechtlichter Arbeitsbeziehun gen in der Bundesrepublik angesehen werden, dass Konflikte um die rechtmassige An wendung bestehender Regelungen selten zwischen den Parteien ausgetragen werden. In 6 vielen Fallen entscheiden die Gerichte hieruber. Der deutschen Situation wird die englische gegenubergestellt."

Working in the Magic City - Moral Economy in Early Twentieth-Century Miami (Hardcover): Thomas A. Castillo Working in the Magic City - Moral Economy in Early Twentieth-Century Miami (Hardcover)
Thomas A. Castillo
R2,439 Discovery Miles 24 390 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In the early twentieth century, Miami cultivated an image of itself as a destination for leisure and sunshine free from labor strife. Thomas A. Castillo unpacks this idea of class harmony and the language that articulated its presence by delving into the conflicts, repression, and progressive grassroots politics of the time. Castillo pays particular attention to how class and race relations reflected and reinforced the nature of power in Miami. Class harmony argued against the existence of labor conflict, but in reality obscured how workers struggled within the city's service-oriented seasonal economy. Castillo shows how and why such an ideal thrived in Miami's atmosphere of growth and boosterism and amidst the political economy of tourism. His analysis also presents class harmony as a theoretical framework that broadens our definitions of class conflict and class consciousness.

The HAZOP Leader's Handbook - How to Plan and Conduct Successful HAZOP Studies (Paperback): Philip Eames The HAZOP Leader's Handbook - How to Plan and Conduct Successful HAZOP Studies (Paperback)
Philip Eames
R3,375 Discovery Miles 33 750 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

The HAZOP Leader's Handbook is designed specifically to help HAZOP leaders plan and execute successful HAZOP studies, based on the author's many years of experience of participating in, observing and facilitating HAZOP studies, as well as observing, training, mentoring and assessing HAZOP leaders. The book assumes that the reader understands the methodology and has experienced HAZOP meetings and does not seek to explain the methodology itself. Rather, it focuses on the application of the methodology and the responsibilities and skills of the HAZOP leader in the preparation, execution and reporting of the study. Although the principal subject is HAZOP, much of the content equally applies to other facilitated hazard identification techniques such as Hazard Identification (HAZID) or Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). The prime purpose of this book is to provide guidance specific to HAZOP leaders to help them to maximise the effectiveness of their HAZOP studies, thereby getting the most benefit from the methodology, promoting consistency and rigour in its application and sustaining its well-earned reputation.

With an estimated 20% of working women leaving their job or taking a lesser role because they are struggling to deal with menopause symptoms, there has never been a more urgent need for better education about this all too often taboo subject. Women feel confused and frustrated with the lack of support from health practitioners and often feel embarrassed or scared to raise the subject at work for fear of ridicule or judgement. And yet, women over 50 are the fastest growing sector of the UK workforce, with more than 80% of the 4.4 million working women currently dealing with menopause. This book provides a no-nonsense guide to help women not only get clear on what menopause is but also what they can do about it.

The Ruined Anthracite - Historical Trauma in Coal-Mining Communities (Hardcover): Paul A. Shackel The Ruined Anthracite - Historical Trauma in Coal-Mining Communities (Hardcover)
Paul A. Shackel
R2,418 Discovery Miles 24 180 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Once a busy if impoverished center for the anthracite coal industry, northeastern Pennsylvania exists today as a region suffering inexorable decline--racked by economic hardship and rampant opioid abuse, abandoned by young people, and steeped in xenophobic fear. Paul A. Shackel merges analysis with oral history to document the devastating effects of a lifetime of structural violence on the people who have stayed behind. Heroic stories of workers facing the dangers of underground mining stand beside accounts of people living their lives in a toxic environment and battling deprivation and starvation by foraging, bartering, and relying on the good will of neighbors. As Shackel reveals the effects of these long-term traumas, he sheds light on people’s poor health and lack of well-being. The result is a valuable on-the-ground perspective that expands our understanding of the social fracturing, economic decay, and anger afflicting many communities across the United States. Insightful and dramatic, The Ruined Anthracite combines archaeology, documentary research, and oral history to render the ongoing human cost of environmental devastation and unchecked capitalism.

Reliability Analysis and Asset Management of Engineering Systems explains methods that can be used to evaluate reliability and availability of complex systems, including simulation-based methods. The increasing digitization of mechanical processes driven by Industry 4.0 increases the interaction between machines and monitoring and control systems, leading to increases in system complexity. For those systems the reliability and availability analyses are increasingly challenging, as the interaction between machines has become more complex, and the analysis of the flexibility of the production systems to respond to machinery failure may require advanced simulation techniques. This book fills a gap on how to deal with such complex systems by linking the concepts of systems reliability and asset management, and then making these solutions more accessible to industry by explaining the availability analysis of complex systems based on simulation methods that emphasise Petri nets.
