Focusing on contemporary debates in philosophy and legal theory,
this ground-breaking book provides a compelling enquiry into the
nature of human dignity. The author not only illustrates that
dignity is a concept that can extend our understanding of our
environmental impacts and duties, but also highlights how our
reliance on and relatedness to the environment further extends and
enhances our understanding of dignity itself. Against the
background of current global threats to the realisation of rights,
including severe environmental degradation and depleted reserves of
essential natural resources, this innovative book considers whether
dignity has any role to play in addressing these new problems, as
well as in securing environmental rights and greater environmental
care. The author provides an astute examination of important
developments in human and environmental rights across a range of
jurisdictions and levels, and considers whether human dignity
should play a more central role in judicial considerations
regarding environmental rights and environmental threats to human
rights. Eminently engaging, this forward-thinking book will prove a
critical read for legal academics and scholars with an interest in
human dignity and environmental rights, as well as judicial
reasoning and legal philosophy more widely. Its practical
presentation of recent developments will also be of great
importance to practitioners and policy-makers working in human
rights and environmental law.
To date, there is a dearth of surveillance data on the prevalence
of HIV and associated risk behaviours among men who have sex with
men (MSM) in South Africa. This is particularly true for data
collected from several sites using the same sampling approach. This
study called the Marang Men's Project was undertaken to fill this
information gap. It was implemented among MSM in the three largest
cities of South Africa, namely, Cape Town in the Western Cape,
Durban in KwaZulu-Natal and Johannesburg in Gauteng. The high HIV
prevalence estimates found in our study among MSM in each of the
three study cities call for a need to implement a national HIV
bio-behavioural surveillance programme for MSM. The Marang Men's
Project has demonstrated that there is an urgent need for
interventions, which respond not only to the heterosexual HIV
epidemic but also to the HIV epidemic among MSM in South Africa.
This survey therefore provides valuable information to SANAC, the
national and provincial Departments of Health (DoHs), and lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) organisations to
both implement and advocate for improved programmes for the health
of MSM.
Done correctly, Total Quality Management (TQM) will increase your
profits and preserve your resources, make your customers and
employees happy, and it is the ethical thing to do. The key, of
course, is to do it right. Unfortunately, when quality efforts fail
to fulfill their potential, business leaders begin to doubt the
efficacy of making the pursuit of quality a primary organizational
priority. The most consistent mistake: starting small and
implementing only part of the plan. Examples of partial efforts
ending in disappointment or disaster abound. As a result, the only
thing "total" about TQM processes has been the level of
frustration. Quality is Everybody's Business makes it possible for
people at all levels of your organization to understand the
underlying theory and the specific mechanics of continual
improvement. In an easy-to-read style, the book shows you how to
untangle seemingly complex theory into guidelines for everyday
managing and leading. The authors provide a comprehensive
presentation of the practical details and the reasoning behind
defining, implementing, and maintaining a 100% employee involvement
process. Taken as a whole, the articles presented in this book
address the theory and the practice of TQM in an integrated manner.
Once your customers experience quality, they will continue to look
for the quality option. Done correctly, TQM can be defined and
implemented in six-to-eight months - and that includes actively
involving everyone on the payroll in the process and seeing
positive bottom line results virtually immediately. Whether your
organization has a TQM process in place or is just beginning to
implement one, Quality is Everybody's Business gives you thetools
to make it a complete quality process.
