This book explores reforms to young adults' schooling that mobilise
capital friendly learning-and-earning (l'earning) webs. It argues
that deschooling l'earning builds young adults' commitment to
modern modes of capital accumulation, gives insights into how they
can secure their future, and reassures them that this can serve the
common good.
"This anthology brings together basic facts and features about
basic learning needs and skills of people working and living in the
informal economy and presents case studies from different countries
examining educational and training strategies for meeting these
learning needs. It portrays the grave problems facing educational
and training systems vis-A-vis informal sector workers, even as
they look at holistic solutions that take into account principles
of lifelong learning and innovations in informal, non-formal and
formal adult learning, and show a growing awareness that education
is a human right of fundamental significance to promoting decent
work and humane living conditions. The size, diversity, and the
strength and sheer tenacity of workers and owners in the informal
sector as well as the stress on globalisation and technological
changes have combined to bring about a reappraisal of the links
between education and training and the informal labour market.
The book looks at the interlinkages between EFA and work and
takes the stance that promoting the right to basic education is
crucial for overcoming oppression and indecent working conditions.
Basic education in its current state is not imparting the necessary
skills for entry to the labour market. In view of this gap, the
case studies pose the crucial question of what essential skills and
which basic learning needs have to be addressed for productive and
decent work.
Although this book mainly provides cases of learning programmes
for the informal economy in countries in South Asia, Latin America
and Egypt, the lessons learnt have much to offer to researchers,
policy makers and practitioners working in otherparts of the
world."

In advancing the vision of adult learning articulated at the
International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA V) held in
Hamburg in 1997, the UNESCO Institute for Education has been
conducting studies on the different areas and dimensions of 'Adult
Learning and the Changing World of Work'. One question that has
been central to this area is: What constitutes adult learning for
those who traditionally secure their survival in the informal
economy, as well as for those school leavers and dropouts who are
forced to work in this sector? In answering this question, the
informal sector or popular economy may be defined in various ways,
but there is an increasing recognition that it is a phenomenon that
has come to stay and that government policies aimed at economic and
social development, including national education and training
policies and programmes, should target those who work in this
sector. In particular, basic education and continuing education and
training are being seen as key to empowering people and as crucial
to strategies for reducing poverty. Moreover, there is a growing
awareness that education is a human right of fundamental
siginificance to promoting decent work and humane living
conditions. It is in view of such considerations that UIE and the
ILO planned to conduct studies in South Asia (Nepal, Bangladesh,
India) to develop an understanding of the quality provision of
education and skills development in and for the informal sector.

This book joins and integrates ceramics and ceramic-based materials
in various sectors of technology. A major imperative is to extract
scientific information on joining and integration response of real,
as well as model, material systems currently in a developmental
stage.
This book envisions integration in its broadest sense as a
fundamental enabling technology at multiple length scales that span
the macro, millimeter, micrometer and nanometer ranges.
Consequently, the book addresses integration issues in such diverse
areas as space power and propulsion, thermoelectric power
generation, solar energy, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS),
solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), multi-chip modules, prosthetic
devices, and implanted biosensors and stimulators. The engineering
challenge of designing and manufacturing complex structural,
functional, and smart components and devices for the above
applications from smaller, geometrically simpler units requires
innovative development of new integration technology and skillful
adaptation of existing technology.
In this translation of Koran all the verses have been rearranged
subject wise . The Koran has been divided into two parts( a) The
divine and infallible Koran (b) The human and fallible Koran (due
to absence of the hidden meanings ). Suggestions: -Follow the
following rule: - an eye for an eye, an eye for a nose, an eye for
an ear, an eye for a teeth . Collect the eyes and give these to the
eye bank . Do not cut of the hand of the thief . Take out an eye of
the thief and give to the blind man . By this system an error of
justice can be rectified by returning the eye back to the man who
has been wrongly declared as a thief . Do not stone the adulterer
to death . Take out an eye, kidney and other organs out of the body
of the adulterer or rapist and collect the money by selling these
organs and give this money to the victim of rape etc .A
constructive punishment is better than a destructive punishment
Silicon carbide based advanced ceramics and fiber reinforced
composites are under active consideration for use in wide variety
of high temperature applications within the aeronautics, space
transportation, energy, and nuclear industries. The engineering
designs of ceramic and composite component require fabrication and
manufacturing of large and complex shaped parts of various
thicknesses. In many instances, it is more economical to build up
complex shapes by joining simple geometrical shapes. In addition
these components have to be joined or assembled with metallic
sub-components. Thus, joining and attachment have been recognized
as enabling technologies for successful utilization of ceramic
components in various demanding applications. In this presentation,
various challenges and opportunities in design, fabrication, and
testing o high temperature joints in ceramic matrix composites will
be presented. Silicon carbide based advanced ceramics (CVD and hot
pressed), and C/SiC and SiC/SiC composites, in different shapes and
sizes, have been joined using an affordable, robust ceramic joining
technology (ARCJoinT). Microstructure and high temperature
mechanical properties of joints in silicon carbide ceramics and CVI
and melt infiltrated SiC matrix composites will, be reported.
Various joint design philosophies and design issues in joining of
ceramics and composites well be discussed
