The vast majority of women suffer from back pain while they are
pregnant, during labor, and/or post partum. This book was written
to address, empower, and inform women about back pain related to
pregnancy. The book explains the unique physical conditions
associated with pregnancy, why women might be experiencing
discomfort and, more importantly, how back pain can be avoided.
The book is, primarily, a linguistic investigation into the
possibility that the Johannine farewell discourse is the product of
multiple hands. Chapter 1 examines the history of the problem.
Chapter 2 contains an examination of the stylistic unity of the
farewell discourse and John 14:31-16:33 is examined for specific
literary style markers. All the style tests show that the major
divisions of the farewell discourse are consistent with the style
evident in the rest of the Gospel. Chapter 3 contains an
investigation of the structure of the farewell discourse. The text
is tested for structural unity, textual prominence, and coherence.
The results show that the discourse holds together quite well in
structure, peak, and cohesion. Chapter 4, therefore, returns to the
issue of the magnus reus (Latin for "the great litigant"). The
difficulty presented by 14:31, (ultimately, the major reason for
identifying editorial activity) is investigated in terms of the
assumptions current among source critics. Upon a closer
examination, these assumptions are shown to be unlikely based on
the conventions of ancient literature and the literary conventions
of participant movement in the rest of the Fourth Gospel. The
conclusion reached in this work is that the farewell discourse
should be considered a unity. Journal for the Study of the New
Testament Supplement Series, 256.
This comprehensive, integrated teaching resource provides students
with the tools and methodologies they need to effectively negotiate
the multiple dynamics that emerge from difference, and to
appropriately respond to issues of marginalization and social
injustice. Written from an American perspective, the book not only
covers the traditional topics of race, gender, ethnicity, and
social class, but explores emerging trends around ‘isms’
(racism, sexism). Thoroughly revised and updated, this third
edition includes new case studies and expanded coverage of topics
such as social justice, microaggressions and gender identities and
expressions. End-of-chapter questions encourage students to engage
in difficult conversations, and case studies stimulate students’
awareness of real-world issues that emerge from diversity, helping
students to develop the broad range of skills they need to mediate
or resolve diversity issues as future professionals. This edition
includes updated Instructor Resources such as PowerPoint slides,
multiple choice quizzes, essay questions as well as additional
links which can be found online.
In October 1962, the world went to the brink of Armageddon. This
study provides an archive based account of the Cuban missile
crisis, providing the first detailed and authoritative account from
the British perspective. The book draws upon British and US
archival material and scholarship in the west and the former USSR.
The diplomatic, military and intelligence dimensions of British
policy are scrutinized. Material is presented and existing
interpretations of UK US relations at this crucial moment are
reassessed. The book contributes a fresh aspect to the literature
on the Cuban missile crisis, by exploring where the views of
Washington and its closest ally converged and diverged.
This collection of comparative critical and theoretical essays
examines James Baldwin and Toni Morrison's reciprocal literary
relationship. By reading these authors side-by-side, this
collection forges new avenues of discovery and interpretation
related to their representations of African American and American
literature and cultural experience.
With the recent advent of nanotechnology, research and development
in the area of nanostructured catalysts has gained unprecedented
prominence. Novel materials with potentially exciting new
applications in catalysis are being discovered at a much higher
rate than ever before. Innovative tools to fabricate, manipulate,
characterize, and evaluate such materials are being developed and
expanded. To keep pace with this extremely rapid growth, it is
necessary to take a breath from time to time, to critically assess
the current knowledge and provide thoughts for future developments.
This book represents one of these moments, as a number of prominent
scientists in nanostructured catalysts join forces to provide
insightful reviews of their areas of expertise; thus, offering an
overall picture of the state-of-the art of the field.
Nanostructured materials designate an increasing number of
materials with designed shapes, surfaces, structures, pore systems,
etc. In general, nanostructured catalysts have modified surfaces,
including materials whose surfaces have been altered via such
techniques as grafting and tethering of organic or organometallic
species, or through various deposition procedures including
electro, electroless, and vapor deposition, or simple adsorption.
Materials with designed regular pore systems, such as zeolites,
metallophosphates, periodic mesoporous materials, nanoporous
organic, and organometallic materials are also members of the large
family of nanostructured materials. These materials are of
paramount importance, particularly in catalysis.
One of the most distinctive characteristics of this book is the
fact that it is all-inclusive, since most of the materialslisted
above have been dealt with in a concise and informative manner.
With fourteen up-to-date reports on the design, synthesis, and
catalytic properties of nanostructured materials, this book sets
the stage for things to come in this area. The development of novel
catalysts, taking advantage of the many interesting attributes of
periodic nanoporous materials, and the discovery of innovative
materials, such as polymer- silica nanocomposites and confined
nanoparticles, are some of the leading ideas for future work in the
increasingly important field of nanostructured catalysts.
Insurance adjusters meet clients on the worst days of their
lives, and they must be diplomatic, tactful, and ethical. The job
is not only about returning phone calls and doing paperwork.
Whether the case involves cargo damage, residential and business
property damage, fire, fraud, burglary, or arson, it's the job of
the adjuster to get to the bottom of things.
Author Jonathan L. Scott has spent more than thirty years as an
adjuster. In a series of short stories, loosely based on actual
insurance claims, he recalls navigating the human dimension of
balancing a client's circumstances with policy requirements and the
law-and it's never easy.
All adjusters investigate, evaluate, and settle claims, but the
best ones are worth their weight in gold several times over. The
bad ones, however, can cause huge problems for the public and their
employers. If you've ever been curious about the work of an
insurance adjuster, read on and find out how each claim becomes its
own little adventure.
This book consists of three parts, rather different in level and purpose. The first part was originally written for quantum chemists. It describes the correspondence, due to Frobenius, between linear representations and characters. This is a fundamental result of constant use in mathematics as well as in quantum chemistry or physics. The examples in this part are chosen from those useful to chemists. The second part is a course given in 1966 to second-year students of l'Ecole Normale. It completes in a certain sense the first part. The third part is an introduction to Brauer Theory. Several Applications to the Artin representation are given.

Global Research Ethics is a guide for students and their
instructors as well as practitioners and researchers to understand
topics linked to research ethics from a more global perspective.
Research plays a key role in identifying health disparity trends
and evaluating interventions to improve the health and wellbeing of
the populations at the individual, local, national, and global
levels. Conducting ethically sound research is imperative in these
contexts. This book (a) uses case studies to offer examples of
current research ethical dilemmas and (b) considers regulatory and
cultural frameworks in a number of country contexts that highlight
diverse methods of identifying and managing these ethical dilemmas.
Chapters cover different types (groups) of participants, issues in
research, and ways of doing research; then each chapter looks at
least three exemplar case studies with at least two analytical
commentaries. Case studies include health and social care research,
and originate from countries such as Brazil, Chile, South Africa,
Botswana, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the US and UK. The
different viewpoints showcased will allow for dialogue to ensue
about the ways in which populations and topics in research need to
be conceptualized. Global Research Ethics is suitable for all
undergraduates and postgraduates on research methods courses in the
social and health sciences. It provides academic researchers,
students, and community partners with guidelines to reflect on as
they develop their own research studies.
Emphasizing the importance of workforce diversity as it relates to
valuing the similarities, differences, and talents of employees at
all ranks has provided a wonderful topic for research. Leveraging
diversity is one emerging paradigm able to demonstrate the value of
workforce diversity in its many forms. Handbook of Research on
Workforce Diversity in a Global Society: Technologies and Concepts
serves as a cutting-edge resource for scholars, researchers,
organizational leaders, practitioners, and graduate students who
want to enhance their understanding of leverage diversity in the
workforce. Secondly, the handbook highlights innovative research,
theoretical frameworks, and perspectives that are currently being
used to guide the practice of leveraging diversity in multiple
organizational settings. It also provides insights on future
workforce diversity trends.
Workforce diversity refers to a strategy that promotes and supports
the integration of human diversity at all levels and uses focused
diversity and inclusion policies and practices to guide this
approach in work environments. While this concept is not new,
publications outlining the programming, curriculum, and degree
demands that should exist in universities to promote workforce
diversity skill development are missing. Developing Workforce
Diversity Programs, Curriculum, and Degrees in Higher Education
presents conceptual and research-based perspectives on course,
program, and degree developments that emphasize workforce diversity
skill development and prepare next-generation leaders for the
modern and emerging workforce. Highlighting crucial topics relating
to career development, human resources management, organizational
leadership, and business education, this edited volume is a
ground-breaking resource for business professionals, scholars,
researchers, entrepreneurs, educators, and upper-level students
working, studying, and seeking to advance workforce diversity
learning across a variety of sectors.
