This book presents an authoritative progress report that will
remain germane to the topic and prove to be a substantial
inspiration to further progress. It is valuable to academic and
industrial practitioners of the art and science of chemical
reaction and reactor engineering.
If you are seeking to create a more intersectional, anti-racist,
and inter-cultural approach to therapy, this edited collection
emerging from the Black, African and Asian Therapy Network is an
invaluable resource for your practice. This collection covers
topics such as the psychological trauma of racism, the various
barriers to accessing support for mental health and the lived
experience of Black, African, or Asian people in a profession that
is still dominated by Eurocentric perspectives, training, and
practice. Each contribution further reinforces the importance and
benefit of having an intersectional, anti-racist, and
inter-cultural approach to your therapeutic practice and contains
insight from 27 experts in the psychological arena. This book is
split into four sections - the first focusses on colour,
creativity, and anti-racist reflections. Part two covers training
in the psychological field in the past, present, and future. Part
three discusses CPD, supervision and self-care with a specific
focus on mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional health and
lastly, part five centralises therapeutic needs and psychological
wellbeing within the context of identity, culture, and belonging.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the
21st International Conference on User Modeling, Adaption, and
Personalization, held in Rome, Italy, in June 2013. The 21 long and
7 short papers of the research paper track were carefully reviewed
and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover the
following topics: recommender systems, student modeling, social
media and teams, human cognition, personality, privacy, web
curation and user profiles, travel and mobile applications, and
systems for elderly and disabled individuals.
As requirements for high quality wastewater effluent increase,
quantities of sludge generated also increase. Contaminants removed
from wastewater concentrate in the sludge and can represent serious
environmental insult and health effects if not properly managed.
The cost of sludge handling can be estimated to constitute as much
as 50% of the cost of wastewater treatment. If properly managed,
however, sludge may be considered a resource of value.
Unfortunately, very little attention in the scientific commu nity
has been given the sludge dilemma either in research or in
practice. Sludge properties are presently characterized in various
ways which do not permit rational design and operation of sludge
management systems. The need for basic information regarding sludge
properties and behavior was the impetus for a NATO Advanced Study
Institute. The NATO Advanced Study Institute entitled "Sludge
Character istics and Behavior" was held July 17-26, 1979, at the
Uni versi ty of Delaware, Newark, DE 19711, USA. The excellent
program quality was a result of both outstanding lecturers and
participants. Twelve countries were represented at the Institute so
that both formal, professional discussions and informal social
activities crossed a broad spectrum of cultures. Gratitude is
expressed to all contributors to this volume. Special
acknowledgement must be given to the Scientific Affairs Division of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Without its financial
support, this Advanced Study Institute would not have been
possible."
The Water Research Institute at the Technion (Israel Institute of
Technology) is proud to have initiated and sponsored the
International Workshop "Soil and Aquifer Pollution: Non-Aqueous
Phase Liquids - Contamination and Recla- tion," held May 13th-15th,
1996, on the Technion campus in Haifa. Groundwater contamination is
one of the pressing issues facing Israel and other countries which
depend on groundwater for water supply. In Israel, 60% of the water
supply comes from groundwater, most of it from two large aquifers.
The Coastal Aquifer underlies the area where the largest
concentration of human activity already takes place, and where much
of future development is expected to occur. It is a phreatic
sandstone aquifer, vulnerable to pollution from activities at the
surface. The Mountain Aquifer is recharged in the higher terrain to
the east, and flows, first in a phreatic zone, then confined,
westward and underneath the Coastal Aquifer. This limestone aquifer
has higher permeabilities and flow velo- ties, so pollution can
reach the groundwater quite readily. Smaller local aquifers are
also important components in the national water system. While
measures are taken to protect these aquifers from pollution, there
are locations where contamination has already occurred.
Furthermore, accidental pollution may not be totally avoided in the
future. Therefore, understanding the processes of groundwater
contamination, recommending the proper measures for preventing it,
and determining the best means for reclamation once pollution has
occurred, are of great practical importance. Non-aqueous phase
liquids (NAPLs) are among the most significant contaminants.
This is the first international handbook on Black community mental
health, focussing on key issues including stereotypes in Mental
health, misdiagnoses, and inequalities/discrimination around
access, services and provisions. Making use of a cultural
competence framework throughout, the book covers many of the
classic mental health/developmental areas such as schizophrenia,
mental health disorders, ASD and ADHD, but it also looks at more
controversial areas in mental health, like inequalities, racism and
discrimination both in practice and in graduate school training and
the supervisory experiences of black students in universities.
Unique among traditional academic texts addressing mental health,
the book presents rich personal accounts from Black therapists and
students. Many Black students who are training to become therapists
or academics in mental health report negative experiences with
white university staff in terms of a lack of support,
encouragement, resulting in poor graduation outcomes.While
institutional racism is a major issue both in society and
universities, the editors of this Handbook take personal-level
racism, microaggression and everyday racism as better models for
understanding and analysing both these students; racialised
interaction/communication experiences with white staff at
university, as well as the racialised communications and
inequalities in misdiagnoses, access to services and provisions in
healthcare settings with white managers.

One of the most persistent and important, but often ignored,
trends contemporary market economies continues to be the ownership
of firms by their employees. Since the emergence of different
experiments with employee ownership in the early twentieth century,
a growing group of companies and expanding set of institutions have
opened the door for firms to share the financial returns of
economic production with broad groups of employees. The growth of
various forms of "shared capitalism" has meant that currently a
little under half of all employees in the private sector own stock
in the companies in which they work or receive cash-based bonuses
linked to different measures of corporate performance.
Employee ownership is a complex phenomenon that can be and has
been fruitfully analyzed from a number of different social
scientific perspectives. This book showcases the diverse state of
cutting-edge academic work on shared capitalism in the United
States and Western Europe. Its chapters present a representative
cross-section of current research, lively debates, and new research
initiatives. Employee Ownership and Shared Capitalism illuminates
shared capitalism's complexity as an organizational, psychological,
sociological, and economic phenomenon that requires deep
interdisciplinary understanding.
