More Than Kissing Babies? - Current Child and Family Policy in the United States (Hardcover): Margery W. Davies, Francine H.... More Than Kissing Babies? - Current Child and Family Policy in the United States (Hardcover)
Margery W. Davies, Francine H. Jacobs
R2,718 Discovery Miles 27 180 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This compendium provides an orientation to basic issues of child and family policy. It includes an overview of the recent history of child and family policy in the United States; an exploration of several political economic conditions underlying changes in these policies; a historical survey of policies toward dependent children; and case studies of selected local, state, and federal policies. The case study approach helps to discern patterns in successful and unsuccessful policies, clarify assumptions and values that underlie them, and develop evaluation criteria. Policy formation is the focus in analyses of the federal Family and Medical Leave Act; family support initiatives in Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland; and municipal policies for homeless families in Atlanta, Denver, and Seattle. Examinations of the federal Baby Doe regulations and AIDS education policy in the Cambridge, Massachusetts, public schools highlight policy implementation. An account of the Massachusetts Day Care Partnership Project concentrates on the third phase of policy analysis: policy evaluation. The concluding chapters stress the importance of considering race, class, and gender in defining social problems, setting policy agendas, and structuring and evaluating policies and programs. They then provide an analytic framework for assessing future responsibilities for U.S. child and family policy.

Long-Term Governance for Social-Ecological Change (Paperback): Bernd Siebenhuner, Marlen Arnold, Klaus Eisenack, Klaus H Jacob Long-Term Governance for Social-Ecological Change (Paperback)

The book discusses how to tackle long-term social and ecological problems by using different environmental governance approaches to creating sustainable development. It explores opportunities and requirements for the governance of long-term problems, and examines how to achieve a lasting transformation. When investments are made to mitigate climate change or preserve biodiversity, future generations can reap benefits from the efforts of the present generation. However, long-term social-ecological change towards sustainable development is disrupted by the fact that the costs and benefits of action are seen by different generations. With a global focus that includes case studies from Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America, this book attempts to address the difficulty of developing and implementing effective long-term governance solutions. The authors examine what distinguishes long-term problems from other policy problems, what governance responses are available and used, and how different governance mechanisms, namely economic incentives, participation, as well as knowledge and learning, help to address them. Combining the perspectives on the different governance approaches and featuring cases studies on national, regional and global issues, Long-Term Governance for Social-Ecological Change will be of interest to policy-makers, students and scholars of global environmental governance, development, sustainability, politics, economics, law and sociology.

Evaluating Family Programs - Current Issues in Theory and Policy (Hardcover): Francine H. Jacobs Evaluating Family Programs - Current Issues in Theory and Policy (Hardcover)
Francine H. Jacobs
R4,157 Discovery Miles 41 570 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The diverse composition of American families and changing ways of raising our children have become subjects of intense scrutiny by researchers and policymakers in recent years. Shifting demographics and work patterns, growing numbers of women in the work force, teenage pregnancy, single-parent families, and the deinstitutionalization of the elderly, disabled, and mentally ill--all these trends have significantly affected family life. Evaluating Family Programs effectively bridges the gap between researchers and practitioners in order to bring practical, understandable advice to providers of family programs and to program funders and policymakers. Heather B. Weiss and Francine H. Jacobs have collected in this volume works which move outside the traditional approaches of their disciplines to create new models for delivering and evaluating services. This sets a mood of genuine inquiry and excitement about successful aspects of programs while maintaining openness about the limitations of both research and practice. By expanding the research model, this work is an attempt to understand reciprocal influences of extended family, culture, community, and social institutions. It urges those who advocate program accountability to understand that not all types of evaluations are appropriate for all programs, and it notes that limitations in current evaluation technologies make it difficult to evaluate outcomes. Evaluating Family Programs reminds the reader that in order to develop sound family policy we must look at children and families in context. Beacuse policymakers, program administrators, and informed citizens have come to rely more upon the results of evaluation research, we must improve our methods while not losing sight of its limitations. It is a thought-provoking contribution to the efforts of those who seek to support the American family with compassion, understanding, and realism.

Diffusion Processes (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1935): Merkel H Jacobs Diffusion Processes (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1935)

R2,751 Discovery Miles 27 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

A basic tenet of present day biophysics is that flows in biological systems are causally related to forces. A large and growing fraction of membrane biophysics is devoted to an exploration of the quantitative relationship between forces and flows in order to understand both the nature of biological membranes and the processes that take place on and in these membranes. This is why the discussion of the nature of diffusion is so important in any formal development of membrane bio- physics. This was equally true twenty years ago when tracers were just beginning to be used for the measurement of membrane processes. We turned naturally to the great treatises on the physics of diffusion and the flow of heat where, to be sure, we could dig out the information that was needed. It was a great joy then to come across this masterful and schol- arly discussion on diffusion written for biologists of a physical tum of mind by MERKEL JACOBS. Here were to be found not only the equations that were basic to our knowledge, but also a careful, accurate and logical explanation, both of the physical principles and the mathematical steps. It soon became apparent that we could not keep that one volume of Ergebnisse der Biologie on indefinite loan from the library, and we then found, by good fortune, a remaindered copy of this particular issue. It has become a well-thumbed and treasured possession of the laboratory.

Fredrika H. Jacobs
R1,474 Discovery Miles 14 740 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo are familiar names that are often closely associated with the concepts of genius and masterpiece. But what about Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana, and Irene di Spilimbengo? Their names are unfamiliar and their works are literally unknown. Why? Defining the Renaissance 'Virtuosa' considers the language of art in relationship to the issues of gender difference through an examination of art criticism written between 1550 and 1800 on approximately forty women artists who were active in Renaissance Italy. Fredrika Jacobs demonstrates how these theoretical writings defined women artists, by linking artistic creation and biological procreation. She also examines the ambiguity of these women as both beautiful object and creator of beautiful object. Jacobs' study shows how deeply the biases of these early critics have inflected both subsequent reception of these Renaissance virtuose, as well as modern scholarship.

"A captivating book that brilliantly reveals an American sports legend long overlooked. Sally Jacobs tells the riveting story of Althea Gibson, my personal shero, who overcame daunting odds - on the tennis court and off - to stand at the world pinnacle of her sport and became an inspiration to many." -- Billie Jean King In 1950, three years after Jackie Robinson first walked onto the diamond at Ebbets Field, the all-white, upper-crust US Lawn Tennis Association opened its door just a crack to receive a powerhouse player who would integrate "the game of royalty." The player was a street-savvy young Black woman from Harlem named Althea Gibson who was about as out-of-place in that rarefied and intolerant world as any aspiring tennis champion could be. Her tattered jeans and short-cropped hair drew stares from everyone who watched her play, but her astonishing performance on the court soon eclipsed the negative feelings being cast her way as she eventually became one of the greatest American tennis champions. Gibson had a stunning career. Raised in New York and trained by a pair of tennis-playing doctors in the South, Gibson's immense talent on the court opened the door for her to compete around the world. She won top prizes at Wimbledon and Forest Hills time and time again. The young woman underestimated by so many wound up shaking hands with Queen Elizabeth II, being driven up Broadway in a snowstorm of ticker tape, and ultimately became the first Black woman to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated and the second to appear on the cover of Time. In a crowning achievement, Althea Gibson became the No. One ranked female tennis player in the world for both 1957 and 1958. Seven years later she broke the color barrier again where she became the first Black woman to join the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). In Althea, prize-winning former Boston Globe reporter Sally H. Jacobs tells the heart-rending story of this pioneer, a remarkable woman who was a trailblazer, a champion, and one of the most remarkable Americans of the twentieth century.

Anne Schafer presents proposals for the reform of the definition of a company's residence, the definition of the permanent establishment, the possibilities of profit allocation and the methods to avoid international double taxation. In addition, the interrelations between these issues are taken into account. Amongst others, the author argues for an extension of the definition of a permanent establishment for employees working permanently abroad and for an implementation of formula apportionment in the European Union.

Zusiitzlich zu konjunkturell und technologisch bedingten Markt-, Produkt Marktrisiken hat die stiirkere Sensibilisierung der Offentlichkeit gegeniiber und Umweltrisiken Risiken von Produkten und Produktionstechniken bewirkt, daB sich die bei abnehmender Unternehmen in einer erhohten Risikosituation befinden. Wenn auch offentlicher gegenwiirtig einige Wirtschaftszweige, wie die chernische Industrie und die Akzeptanz Autoindustrie, bevorzugte Aufmerksamkeit in der offentlichen Diskussion erfahren, so ist doch ein grundlegender Wandel in der individuellen Risi koakzeptanz uniibersehbar, der generell zur Verlagerung wirtschaftlicher Risiken auf giiter- und leistungsproduzierende Unternehmen fiihrt. Ein entscheidender Schritt in diese Richtung wurde schon Ende der 60er Jahre bei der Produkthaftung getan, als durch hochstrichterliche Rechtsprechung die Beweislast bei der Produzenten- und Hiindlerhaftung fUr Folgeschiiden durch fehlerhafte Produkte umgekehrt worden ist. Ein bekanntes Beispiel fUr die veriinderte Risikosituation bei der Produkthaf tung ist der "Conterganfall," der, neben direktenfinanziellen Auswirkun gen, zu zahlreichen innerbetrieblichen FolgemaBnahmen bei den Herstel lern von Arzneirnitteln gefUhrt hat. Zahlreiche andere Unternehmen befin den sich in iihnlichen Risikosituationen. Aktuelle Ereignisse belegen, daB Umweltschiiden, die durch Produktionsprozesse oder deren Riickstiinde hervorgerufen werden, eine weitere Quelle unternehmerischen Risikos geworden sind. Umweltrisiken erreichen leicht existenzgefahrdende finan zielle Dimensionen.

Die Begrundung dafur wird aus dem hohen Stand der Arbeitslosenzahl abgeleitet. Obwohl eine Zunahme der Arbeits losigkeit in diesem Jahr zum Stillstand gekommen ist, wird doch eine Arbeitslosenzahl in Hohe von 2 Millionen von allen Verantwortlichen als erheblich zu hoch und daher als nicht akzeptabel angesehen. Nun ist bei einer betriebswirtschaftliehen Sicht des Problems die Bekamp Arbeitslosigkeit als fung der Arbeitslosigkeit nicht in erster Linie ein arbeitsmarktpolitisches Problem der betrieb Problem, wenn davon ausgegangen. wird, dass der Arbeitsmarkt gut orga lichen Beschaftigungs nisiert ist und die Beschaftigungslosen auch fur qualifizierte Arbeitsplatze lage eine Eignung besitzen. Arbeitslosigkeit kann unmittelbar abgebaut werden, wenn die Betriebe in der Lage sind, ihre Beschaftigung durch Vornahme von Erweiterungsinvestitionen zu steigern. Dies setzt jedoch vor allem die Fahigkeit voraus, Marktchancen besser zu nutzen, als dies in der Vergan genheit der Fall war."

Besonders im letzten] ahrzehnt ist ein standiges Ansteigen der Planungs-, Kontroll-und Kommunikationsprozesse in der hochtechnisierten, arbeitsteilig organisierten Wirt schaft festzustellen. Ausgelost werden diese erweiterten Informationsprozesse durch die zunehmende Grosse und/oder Komplexitat der Wirtschaftsgebilde, wodurch immer umfangreichere Planungs-, Entscheidungs- und Kontrollprozesse zur Steuerung der Realisationsakte erzwungen werden . Der zunehmende Informationsbedarf belastet die Linienstellen mit umfangreichen zusatzlichen sekundaren Aufgaben. Das birgt die Gefahr in sich, dass diese Stellen von ihren eigenen Kernaufgaben im Geschaft zu sehr abgelenkt werden oder diesem nicht mehr ihre volle Zeit widmen konnen. Auch kann es leicht zu einer Inflationierung und Burokratisierung der Informationen kommen. Das Ergebnis ist dann nicht die angestrebte verbesserte Transparenz des Geschaftsgeschehens mit dem Ziel einer ver besserten Qualitat der Unternehmenssteuerung, sondern ein Informationswirrwarr, der eher die Ubersicht und die notwendigen Entscheidungen hemmt. Ein Weg zur Losung der wachsenden Informationsanforderungen und zu deren ziel ausgerichteter Auswertung besteht in der teilweisen Ausgliederung von Informations aufgaben an eine zentrale Informationsverarbeitungsstelle mit Controllingfunktion sowie in dem entsprechenden Einsatz EDV-technischer Organisationsmittel. Die angesprochene Problematik stellt sich heute nicht nur in den ganz grossen, mit den klassischen Kommunikationsmitteln kaum noch uberschaubaren Wirtschaftsunterneh men. Die ausgepragte Konkurrenzsituation, die heute fur die meisten deutschen Markte spezifisch ist, hat auch dazu gefuhrt, dass schon mittelgrosse Unternehmenseinheiten es sich nicht mehr leisten konnen, ohne ein hochentwickeltes entsprechendes Steuerungs l>ystem auszukommen, wollen sie im hartumkampften Markt weiterbestehen. Verstand licherweise mussen solche Unternehmen Realisierungswege finden, die ihren spezifi schen und beschrankten Ressourcen entsprechen."
