"HR Global Challenges" offers a step-by-step plan for a developing nation to compete more effectively in an ever-changing global economy. The key is to create innovative strategies and seize the advantage of its most precious resource-its people. Drawing on more than twenty-eight years of experience in human resources, Syed Imtiaz Hussain addresses the economic hardships of unemployment in developing countries. Especially in Pakistan, HR departments in many organizations are small in size and low in status. Their functions are viewed as relatively unimportant. But as HR workers become increasingly vital in today's global economy, Hussain believes that this pattern will change. Hussain directly addresses the critical challenges that test CEOs in the following areas: Organization structure Technology Knowledge management Recruitment Performance appraisal Training and development This inspiring guide is a must-read for human-resource professionals, CEOs, and top-echelon business managers, academics, and political leaders in South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other developing nations worldwide. If you are a human resources practitioner, this upbeat advice will lead you to reevaluate your strengths, think outside the box, and shape the future.

With North Atlantic post-World War II transatlantic dynamics as the subject, this volume inquires if its theoretical tenets hold in other epochs and Atlantic arenas. Both case and comparative studies of such historical cases as the silver, slave, and commodity trades, and whether ideas, such as faith and democracy, have as much impact as these merchandise flows, simultaneously challenge and strengthen the transatlantic paradigm. They permit transatlantic relations to be stretched as far back as to the 8th Century, in turn exposing transatlantic flows hugging global threads, while revealing the strength and size of several unaccounted types of transatlantic transactions, such as the north-south varieties.

Did 9/11 revive a North American guns-butter trade-off? Established in the largest administrative overhaul since World War II, the Department of Homeland Security was charged with keeping the United States safe within a wider security community, but confronted the Washington Consensus-based Western Hemisphere free trade movement, beginning with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and extending to the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) in 2003, to materialize a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) compact. Whether 9/11 restrictions impeded these trade-related thrusts or not, embracing neoliberalism permitted Canada and Mexico to pursue their own initiatives, such as proposing free-trade to the US--Canada in 1985, Mexico in 1990, but, as during the Cold War, security imperatives ultimately prevailed.

This work investigates Canada's and Mexico's Department of Homeland Security responses through three bilateral studies of policy responses along comparative lines, case studies of security and intelligence apparatuses in each of the three countries, and a post-9/11 trilateral assessment. Ultimately, they raise a broader and more critical North American question: Will regional economic integration continue to be trumped by security considerations, as during the Cold War era, and thereby elevate second-best outcomes, or rise above the constraints to reassert the unquenchable post-Cold War thirst for unfettered markets replete with private enterprises, liberal policies, and full-fledged competitiveness?

This edited volume examines global power-rivalry in and around South Asia through Bangladeshi lenses using imperfect and overlapping interest concentric-circles as a template. Dynamics from three transitions -the United States exiting the Cold War, China emerging as a global-level power, and India's eastern interests squaring off with China's Belt Road Initiative, BRI-help place China, India, and the United States (in alphabetical order) in Bangladesh's "inner-most" circle, China, India, and the United States in a "mid-stream" circle, and the United States and Latin America, among other countries, in the "outer-most" circle, depending on the issue. In an atmosphere of short-term gains over-riding long-term considerations, the desperate, widespread search for infrastructural funding inside South Asia enhances China's value, raises local heat, releases new challenges, with costly default consequences looming, issue-specific analysis overtaking formal bilateral relations and a stubborn uncertainty riddling the Bangladeshi air as its policy preferences stubbornly show more certainty.

This book explores the role of surface ambiguities in referring expressions, and how the risk of such ambiguities should be taken into account by an algorithm that generates referring expressions, if these expressions are to be optimally effective for a hearer. The main focus is on the ambiguities that arise when adjectives occur in coordinated structures (e.g. brown cats and dogs). The central idea is to use statistical information about lexical co-occurrence to estimate which interpretation of a phrase is most likely for human readers, and to avoid generating phrases where misunderstandings are likely. Various aspects of the problem were explored in a series of experiments, including a self-study paradigm. We found a preference for ''clear'' expressions to ''unclear'' ones, but if several of the expressions are ''clear, '' then brief expressions are preferred over non-brief ones even though the brief ones are syntactically ambiguous and the non-brief ones are not. The notion of clarity was made precise using Kilgarriff's Word Sketches. The results of these empirical studies motivated the design of a GRE algorithm

The main purpose of writing this book is providing the maximum information to the mango growers about management strategies to overcome the mango malformation and improve the fruit quality. Because, mango (Mangifera indica L.) is known as "king of fruits" due to its delicious taste and excellent flavour. Unfortunately, it is subjected to a large number of disorders right from the plants in the nursery to the fruit in transit and storage, which ultimately results a low yield with poor fruit quality. Of these, mango malformation is most damaging and so far untraceable and uncontrollable. To achieve the goal of high production, the improvement of mango production practices is needed which should eliminate or minimize the potential obstacles in successful mango culture i.e. malformation. Various control measures have been suggested but none of these have been proved satisfactory because of the complex nature of this malady. Therefore the present work was initiated to ascertain the effectiveness of copper and non copper based fungicides as foliar sprays in minimizing the intensity of malformation of mango.

In pigeon Newcastle disease is caused by pigeon paramyxovirus type-1 (PPMV-1) which is a variant of avian paramyxovirus-1 (APMV-1) and characterized on the basis of monoclonal antibody-binding profiles. PPMV-1 in pigeons produces digestive and nervous disturbance and mortality and morbidity reaches up to 40 and 70 %, respectively. Submucosal to echymotic haemorrhages in proventriculus and intestine, tracheaitis, nephritis and encephalitis were observed in pigeons died PPMV-1 infection. The second most important disease found in pigeons, is coccidiosis which is well known among pigeon farmers with the common name of "KHUNI PACHISH." Coccidiosis causes severe blood mixed diarrhea and enteritis . In coccidial infection, the immune system of bird becomes depressed and are more susceptible to bacterial and viral infections.
