The human rights of communities in many resource-rich, weak
governance States are adversely affected, not only by the acts of
States and their agents, but also by powerful non-State actors.
Contemporary phenomena such as globalisation, privatisation and the
proliferation of internal armed conflict have all contributed to
the increasing public influence of these entities and the
correlative decline in State power. This book responds to the
persistent challenges stemming from non-State actors linked to
extractive industries. In light of the intersecting roles of
multinational enterprises and non-State armed groups in this
context, these actors are adopted as the primary analytical
vehicles. The operations of these entities highlight the practical
flaws of existing accountability regimes and permit an exploration
of the theoretical challenges that preclude their direct legal
regulation at the international level. Drawing insights from
discursive democracy, compliance theories and the Pure Theory of
Law, the book establishes a conceptual foundation for the creation
of binding international obligations addressing non-State actors.
Responding to the recent calls for a binding business and human
rights treaty at the UN Human Rights Council, and the growing
influence of armed non-State actors, the book makes a timely
contribution to debates surrounding the direction of future
developments in the field of international human rights law.
This book provides a complete exposition of the theory of nuclear
magnetic relaxation caused by the thermal motion of the molecule
containing the relaxing nucleus. The author begins by defining the
physical quantities encountered in nuclear magnetic resonance
studies and surveying pioneering investigations in the field.
Nuclear magnetic relaxation by scalar, dipolar, quadrupolar and
spin-rotational interactions and by anisotropic chemical shift are
then examined in detail. Relaxation rates are expressed in terms of
spectral densities, and the values of the spectral densities for
various molecular shapes are calculated by random walk or Brownian
motion dynamics. The text should be within the grasp of readers who
have taken undergraduate courses in electromagnetic theory and in
classical and quantum mechanics, although topics in these fields of
particular relevance are to be found in appendices. This book will
be of value to postgraduate students and research workers using
n.m.r. in physics and physical chemistry departments, and by
scientists in industrial and medical research.

Religious educators hold ministry positions in almost all major
denominations. To many, these jobs are viewed as idyllic; imagine
working all day with fellow believers in a church setting However,
in many denominations, little research has been done to confirm
such joy and satisfaction. Research in job satisfaction has become
a routine form of assessment to determine the satisfaction of
employees in order to insure their physical and psychological
well-being. Many variables of satisfaction or dissatisfaction have
also been associated with reasons for workers leaving their jobs.
In this book, Directors of Christian Education in the Lutheran
Church--Missouri Synod were surveyed to determine if they were
satisfied with their jobs; to provide an opportunity for Directors
of Christian Education to evaluate their ministry skills and share
what additional competencies, if any, might be added to their
education to enhance job satisfaction; and to seek information
regarding their likelihood to leave ministy in the next three
years. The results are somewhat surprising In addition to this
research, the author offers recommendations for keeping these
workers for the future.
