This book presents the findings of an in-depth qualitative
longitudinal investigation into the willingness to communicate
(WTC) of individuals who, through varying migration channels, left
one cultural/linguistic context to make a new life in another. It
examines communication behaviours and language choice in
multilingual community contexts and emphasises how even the most
trivial of communication events are embedded in histories of
previous communication and are influenced by emotions connected
with a person’s overall life situation. The book fills a gap in
contemporary WTC research by examining how WTC operates in
multilingual community contexts. Through the use of a complexity
lens and the presentation of a revised 3D pyramid model, the
authors demonstrate the dynamic nature of WTC and shed new light on
processes that affect communication, migration and well-being. This
book will be of interest to researchers seeking to explore
individual differences using context sensitive and temporally
focused designs.

This open-access book brings together international experts who
shed new light on the status of social enterprises, benefit
corporations and other purpose-driven companies. The respective
chapters take a multidisciplinary approach (combining law,
philosophy, history, sociology and economics) and provide valuable
insights on fostering social entrepreneurship and advancing the
common good. In recent years, we have witnessed a significant shift
of how business activities are conducted, mainly through the rise
of social enterprises. In an effort to target social problems at
their roots, social entrepreneurs create organizations that bring
transformative social changes by considering, among others,
ethical, social, and environmental factors. A variety of social
enterprise models are emerging internationally and are proving
their vitality and importance. But what does the term "social
enterprise" mean? What are its roots? And how does it work in
practice within the legal framework of any country? This handbook
attempts to answer these questions from a theoretical, historical,
and comparative perspective, bringing together 44 contributions
written by 71 expert researchers and practitioners in this field.
The first part provides an overview of the social enterprise
movement, its evolution, and the different forms entities can take
to meet global challenges, overcoming the limits of what
governments and states can do. The second part focuses on the
emergence of benefit corporations and the growing importance of
sustainability and societal values, while also analyzing their
different legal forms and adaptation to their regulatory
environment. In turn, the last part presents the status quo of
purpose-driven companies in 36 developed and emerging economies
worldwide. This handbook offers food for thought and guidance for
everyone interested in this field. It will benefit practitioners
and decision-makers involved in social and community organizations,
as well as in international development and, more generally
speaking, social sciences and economics.

As John Henry Newman reflected on 'The Idea of a University' more
than a century and a half ago, Bradley C. S. Watson brings together
some of the nation's most eminent thinkers on higher education to
reflect on the nature and purposes of the American university
today. They detail the life and rather sad times of the American
university, its relationship to democracy, and the place of the
liberal arts within it. Their mordant reflections paint a picture
of the American university in crisis. But they also point toward a
renewal of the university by redirecting it toward those things
that resist the passions of the moment, or the pull of mere
utility. This book is essential reading for thoughtful citizens,
scholars, and educational policymakers.
Circa il 15% della popolazione mondiale riferisce di avvertire
quasi costantemente una sensazione rumorosa nell'orecchio o nella
testa. Sono gli acufeni, un fenomeno ben noto sin dall'antichita e
spesso molto fastidioso, che tuttavia e considerato un problema
serio e cronico solo per una piccola percentuale di soggetti.
Pur non esistendo a tutt'oggi una cura definitiva e risolutiva
di questo disturbo - spesso i medici stessi concludono le visite
confermando ai pazienti che bisogna imparare a conviverci -, gli
acufeni possono essere comunque ridotti a un fastidio ben
sopportabile. Per ottenere un buon risultato e necessario curare lo
stato di salute generale e lo stile di vita di chi ne e affetto, e
il ruolo del paziente stesso e fondamentale.
Il volume vuole essere un "manuale di sopravvivenza" per
insegnare come convivere con gli acufeni e come gestire questo
disturbo in modo semplice, efficace ed economico.
