In this edition of Occupational Health and Safety Management, the authors aim at validating the concept of safety ownership and the application of safety excellence. The book highlights the roles and functions of a safety practitioner and focuses on the legal requirements and applications of providing a healthy and safe workplace. The authors discuss hazard identification, at-risk behaviour, and behaviour-based safety and risk assessment, through a health and safety management approach.

Land Law and Governance: African Perspectives on Land Tenure and Title explores different ways of conceptualising secure land holding in Africa. The book brings together voices from different contexts, offering contrasting perspectives and methodological approaches. Land Law and Governance: African Perspectives on Land Tenure and Title also juxtaposes a range of political and academic viewpoints through theoretical discussions and case studies. The book thus opens up the discourse on forms of security of tenure in Africa, in a global context.

Part of a series that offers mainly linguistic and anthropological research and teaching/learning material on a region of great cultural and strategic interest and importance in the post-Soviet era.

Der Krankenhaus-Report, der jährlich als Buch und als Open-Access-Publikation erscheint, greift 2023 das Schwerpunktthema „Personal“ auf.  Nicht erst seit der Covid-19-Pandemie sind die Probleme der personellen Ausstattung und Personalverfügbarkeit im Krankenhaus, insbesondere in der Pflege, im Fokus der Diskussion. Der aktuelle Report analysiert die Ausgangslage und erörtert diverse Handlungsansätze mit Blick auf die Verbesserung der Personalsituation. Weiter diskutiert werden aber auch Fragen eines grundlegenden Reformbedarfs des Systems und der Finanzierung der stationären Versorgung, die auf der Agenda der aktuellen Gesundheitspolitik stehen. Der Krankenhaus-Report 2023 thematisiert mit Blick auf die Situation des Personals im Krankenhaus unter anderem:  Personalentwicklung im Zeitverlauf und in der internationalen Perspektive  Arbeitsmarktsituation beim Gesundheitspersonal  Image der Pflege  Aus- und Weiterbildung von Ärzten und Pflegekräften  Handlungsoptionen im Personalmanagement  Veränderungen der Personalsituation durch Digitalisierung und Robotik  Pflegepersonalvorgaben und Pflegekostenfinanzierung  Personalallokation und Strukturwandel Zusätzlich werden folgende Themen zur Diskussion gestellt: Reformkonzept der Regierungskommission zur Krankenhausvergütung Optionen zur Ausgestaltung einer Vorhaltefinanzierung Auswirkungen der Covid-19-Pandemie auf die Krankenhausleistungen Daneben stellt das Statistische Bundesamt Grund- und Diagnosedaten der Krankenhäuser bereit und die „Krankenhauspolitische Chronik“ bietet wie in den Vorjahren eine differenzierte Sicht auf die Ereignisse.

Der Krankenhaus-Report, der jährlich als Buch und als Open-Access-Publikation erscheint, greift 2021 das Schwerpunktthema „Versorgungsketten – Der Patient im Mittelpunkt“ auf. Dem sektoral getrennt organisierten deutschen Gesundheitssystem bescheinigen Experten immer wieder Verbesserungspotenziale, sowohl im Blick auf die Qualität als auch auf die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Leistungserbringung. Vor diesem Hintergrund beleuchtet der Krankenhaus-Report 2021 die Versorgungsprozesse vom Krankenhauszugang bis zu den Herausforderungen der Anschlussversorgung; Schnittstellenprobleme werden in den Blick genommen. Weitere Beiträge thematisieren die krankenhauspolitisch-organisatorischen Herausforderungen rund um Versorgungsplanung und -steuerung sowie die Implementierung der Qualitätssicherung. Aus dem InhaltDer Krankenhaus-Report 2021 thematisiert unter anderem: Versorgungsprozesse im internationalen Vergleich Zuweisung und Patientennavigation ins Krankenhaus sowie Notfallsteuerung Patientenpfade im Krankenhaus und Entlassmanagement Schnittstelle Rehabilitation Indikationsspezifische Herausforderungen (Herzinsuffizienz, Polytrauma, Psychische Störungen und Palliativversorgung) Versorgungsplanung und -steuerung Stand und Perspektiven der sektorenübergreifenden Qualitätssicherung Zusätzlich werden folgende Themen zur Diskussion gestellt: Sturzbedingte Hospitalisierungen von Pflegeheimbewohnern Personalfluktuation in deutschen Krankenhäusern Auswirkungen der Covid-19-Pandemie auf die Krankenhausleistungen 2020 Der Datenteil greift die Krankenhausbudgetentwicklung auf und umfasst Grund- und Diagnosedaten des Statistischen Bundesamtes. Ergänzt werden diese Datenanalysen durch die Krankenhauspolitische Chronik.

Inhabitants of poor, rural areas in the Global South heavily depend on natural resources in their immediate vicinity. Conflicts over and exploitation of these resources - whether it is water, fish, wood fuel, minerals, or land - severely affect their livelihoods. The contributors to this volume leave behind the polarised debate, previously surrounding the relationship between natural resources and conflict, preferring a more nuanced approach that allows for multiple causes at various levels. The contributions cover a wide array of resources, geographical contexts (Africa, Asia and Latin America), and conflict dynamics. Most are of a comparative nature, exploring experiences of conflict as well as cooperation in multiple regions. This volume finds its origin in an innovative research programme with the acronym CoCooN, steered by The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO/WOTRO) and involving universities and civil society partners in many countries. It presents the conceptual approaches adhered to by each of seven interdisciplinary projects, ranging from green criminology and political ecology to institutional analysis, legal pluralism and identity politics. The volume will be of interest to academics and practitioners concerned with an understanding of conflict as well as cooperation over natural resources.

The low-carbon transition is ongoing everywhere. This Handbook, written by a group of senior and junior scholars from six continents and nineteen countries, explores the legal pathways of decarbonisation in the energy sector. What emerges is a composite picture. There are many roadblocks, but also a lot of legal innovation. The volume distils the legal knowledge which should help move forward the transition. Questions addressed include the differences between the decarbonization strategies of developed and developing countries, the pace of the transition, the management of multi-level governance systems, the pros and cons of different policy instruments, the planning of low-carbon infrastructures, the roles and meanings of energy justice. The Handbook can be drawn upon by legal scholars to compare decarbonisation pathways in several jurisdictions. Non-legal scholars can find information to be included in transition theories and decarbonization scenarios. Policymakers can discover contextual factors that should be taken into account when deciding how to support the transition.

The degree to which the traditional concept of property can be adjusted in order to accommodate basic constitutional concepts such as freedom and social duty, is analysed by the author. The focus is placed on recent reforms in the land law of Germany and South Africa. Remarkable similarities in the history, structure and interpretation of German and South African property law and constitutional law are indicated and a link between private law, constitutional law, land reform and legal comparison is established. This is of particular significance for the implementation of the constitutional objectives of land reform by the South African judiciary and legislature. It furthermore provides an overview of the intricate system of constitutional property protection that has been developed in German law.

Bringing together a wide variety of examples of functional amyloid in a single volume, this book explores the importance of amyloid fibrils in fungi, bacteria, algae, invertebrate, and vertebrate animals for providing environmental protection, structural integrity, and regulating biochemical processes. It highlights many of the extraordinary examples of functional amyloid found to date. It, therefore, provides an exciting perspective for the study of amyloid deposits as important and useful protein structures widespread in nature.

These Proceedings contain articles based on the lectures and in formal discussions at the Conference on Transformation Groups held at Tulane University, May 8 to June 2, 1967 under the sponsorship of the Advanced Science Seminar Projects of the National Science Foun dation (Contract No. GZ 400). They differ, however, from many such Conference proceedings in that particular emphasis has been given to the review and exposition of the state of the theory in its various mani festations, and the suggestion of direction to further research, rather than purely on the publication of research papers. That is not to say that there is no new material contained herein. On the contrary, there is an abundance of new material, many new ideas, new questions, and new conjectures arefully incorporated within the framework of the theory as the various authors see it. An original objective of the Conference and of this report was to supply a much needed review of and supplement to the theory since the publication of the three standard works, MONTGOMERY and ZIPPIN, Topological Transformation Groups, Interscience Pub lishers, 1955, BOREL et aI., Seminar on Transformation Groups, Annals of Math. Surveys, 1960, and CONNER and FLOYD, Differen tial Periodic Maps, Springer-Verlag, 1964. Considering this objective ambitious enough, it was decided to limit the survey to that part of Transformation Group Theory derived from the Montgomery School."

Of all topological algebraic structures compact topological groups have perhaps the richest theory since 80 many different fields contribute to their study: Analysis enters through the representation theory and harmonic analysis; differential geo metry, the theory of real analytic functions and the theory of differential equations come into the play via Lie group theory; point set topology is used in describing the local geometric structure of compact groups via limit spaces; global topology and the theory of manifolds again playa role through Lie group theory; and, of course, algebra enters through the cohomology and homology theory. A particularly well understood subclass of compact groups is the class of com pact abelian groups. An added element of elegance is the duality theory, which states that the category of compact abelian groups is completely equivalent to the category of (discrete) abelian groups with all arrows reversed. This allows for a virtually complete algebraisation of any question concerning compact abelian groups. The subclass of compact abelian groups is not so special within the category of compact. groups as it may seem at first glance. As is very well known, the local geometric structure of a compact group may be extremely complicated, but all local complication happens to be "abelian." Indeed, via the duality theory, the complication in compact connected groups is faithfully reflected in the theory of torsion free discrete abelian groups whose notorious complexity has resisted all efforts of complete classification in ranks greater than two."

Der Krankenhaus-Report, der jahrlich als Buch und als Open-Access-Publikation erscheint, greift 2022 das Schwerpunktthema "Patientenversorgung wahrend der Pandemie" auf. Die Auswirkungen der Covid-19-Pandemie haben auch 2021 die Diskussionen zur stationaren Versorgung zentral gepragt. Im Fokus stehen weiterhin Fragen rund um die Versorgung von Erkrankten mit und ohne Covid-19 sowie zur Finanzierung der Krankenhauser in der Krise. Weitere Themen sind die in der Pandemie benoetigten Prozesse der Versorgungssteuerung auf verschiedenen Ebenen, sei es im Krankenhaus, auf regionaler oder bundesweiter Ebene. Aus dem Inhalt Der Krankenhaus-Report 2022 thematisiert mit Blick auf die Covid-19-Pandemie unter anderem: Stationare Versorgung im internationalen Vergleich Leistungen und Erloese der Krankenhauser Stationare und intensivmedizinische Behandlung der Covid-19-Patienten Auswirkungen der Pandemie in der Notfallversorgung, der onkologischen und der psychiatrischen Versorgung Krankenhausfinanzierung in Krisenzeiten und Krankenhausvergutung nach der Pandemie Versorgungssteuerung in regionaler Perspektive und im Notfallbereich Steuerungsherausforderungen im Krankenhaus Krankenhausfoederalismus in der Covid-Krise Zusatzlich werden unter anderem folgende Themen zur Diskussion gestellt: Verteilungsgerechtigkeit in der Pandemie Auswirkungen der Pflegebudgets Investitionsfoerderung im Krankenhausmarkt Daneben stellt das Statistische Bundesamt Grunddaten der Krankenhauser bereit und die "Krankenhauspolitische Chronik" bietet wie in den Vorjahren eine differenzierte Sicht auf die Ereignisse.

Compared with most of Continental Europe North of the Alps, the introduction of writing in East Central Europe (Bohemia, Poland and Hungary) took place with a considerable delay. Much is known about East Central European uses of writing, although only a fragment of this knowledge is known outside the region. Gathered by historians, palaeographers and codicologists, diplomatists, art historians, literary historians and others, this knowledge has hardly ever been studied in the light of recent discussions on medieval literacy and communication. Work done in the Czech, Polish and Hungarian traditions of scholarship has never been subjected to a comparative analysis. Furthermore, the question of the relation between writing and other forms of communication in the region remains largely unexplored. The volume serves a double purpose. For the first time, a collection of contributions on medieval literacy in East Central Europe is put before the forum of international scholarship. It is also hoped to further discussions of modes of communication, literate behaviour and mentalities among scholars working in the region.

The number of severe and sometimes catastrophic disruptive events has been rapidly increasing. Extreme weather events including floods, wildfires, hurricanes, and other natural disasters have become both more frequent and more severe, whilst events such as the COVID-19 pandemic represent a global threat to public health with huge economic effects that recovery packages tried to address. These disruptive events, alone and in combination, have dramatic consequences on nature, human life, and the economy, calling for urgent action to mitigate their causes and adapt to their impacts. In response to discourses of collapsology and end-of-growth theories, this monograph offers an analytical approach to developing legal responses that can help ensure the needs of present and future generations can be met through energy systems, infrastructure development, and natural resources management in these times of disruption. 'Resilience' is, therefore, seen as a common framework for the interpretation and development of energy, infrastructure, and natural resources law. With a mix of thematic chapters and case studies from multiple jurisdictions, Resilience in Energy, Infrastructure, and Natural Resources Law maps and assesses legal responses to disruptive nature-based events, and examines possible legal pathways for more sustainable outcomes, based on its engagement with this concept of 'resilience' and social-ecological thinking.
