Graduate employability is a significant concern for most higher
education institutions worldwide. During the last two decades,
universities have attempted to implement their employability
agendas to support their students to enhance employment outcomes.
However, within today's globalized labour markets, employability
has gone far beyond the notion of obtaining stable and permanent
employment. This book explores graduates' experiences in developing
and utilizing employability capitals for career development and
success in different labour markets. In the chapters, the graduate
contributors narrate and discuss how they negotiated their
employability on the transitions across jobs, occupational sectors
and labour markets. The chapters address key issues, including how
employability is understood by graduates of different disciplines,
at different career stages and in different contexts; how they
develop and utilise such capitals along with strategies to
negotiate their employability; and what can be done to move the
higher education employability agenda forward. The book presents
international insights and perspectives into transitions from
education to work and career development across the labour markets,
as well as calls for improving the graduate employability agenda.
It is an invaluable resource for researchers and academics,
university leaders, policymakers and students who are concerned
about graduate employability.
This open access book offers critical, multidisciplinary analyses
on graduate employability. The book examines employability at the
macro, meso and micro levels: higher education policy, the labour
market, higher education institutions, organisations, individuals
and social groups, in European, North American and Australian
contexts. The contributors provide social and contextual analysis
of graduate employability as a theoretical concept, a discourse and
policy imperative and a social and discursive practice. The volume
also introduces novel methodological perspectives to study the
process of graduate employability. There is an urgent need for
comprehensive and unified critical perspectives on graduate
employability, as such analyses have so far been scarce and often
isolated. Besides filling this gap in the literature, the book will
also serve as essential reading on courses that focus on graduate
careers and employability as well as higher education policy and
practice.

The rise of manufacturing intelligence is fuelling innovation in
processes and products concerning a low environmental impact over
the product's lifecycle. Sustainable intelligent manufacturing is
regarded as a manufacturing paradigm for the 21st century, in the
move towards the next generation of manufacturing and processing
technologies. The manufacturing industry has reached a turning
point in its evolution and new business opportunities are emerging.
With sustainable development arises the immense challenge of
combining innovative ideas regarding design, materials and products
with non-polluting processes and technologies, conserving energy
and other natural resources. On the other hand, sustainability has
become a key concern for government policies, businesses and the
general public. Model cities are embracing novel ecosystems,
combining environmental, social and economic issues in more
inclusive and integrated frameworks. Green Design, Materials and
Manufacturing Processes includes essential research in the field of
sustainable intelligent manufacturing and related topics, making a
significant contribution to further development of these fields.
The volume contains reviewed papers presented at the 2nd
International Conference on Sustainable Intelligent Manufacturing,
conjointly organized by the Centre for Rapid and Sustainable
Product Development, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, and the
Faculty of Architecture, Technical University of Lisbon, both in
Portugal. This event was held at the facilities of the Faculty of
Architecture, Lisbon, from June 26 to June 29, 2013. A wide range
of topics is covered, such as Eco Design and Innovation, Energy
Efficiency, Green and Smart Manufacturing, Green Transportation,
Life-Cycle Engineering, Renewable Energy Technologies, Reuse and
Recycling Techniques, Smart Design, Smart Materials, Sustainable
Business Models and Sustainable Construction. Green Design,
Materials and Manufacturing Processes is intended for engineers,
architects, designers, economists and manufacturers who are
actively engaged in the advancement of science and technology
regarding key sustainability issues, leading to more suitable,
efficient and sustainable products, materials and processes.

This book explores the highly significant and contested area of
graduate employability and employment which is paid so much
attention by those in the media and policy-makers. This is driven
largely by concerns over the wider economic impact and value of
graduates as increasing numbers complete their studies in higher
education. At a time when graduates are seen as key to economic
success, the critical question remains as to how their
employability plays out in a changing labour market. This book
brings together innovative approaches and research to present an
extensive survey of the field. It provides insight on what is a
complex and often elusive social and economic problem, ranging from
how graduate employability is constructed as an economic and policy
agenda to explorations of how graduates manage the transition from
higher education to paid employment and finally to suggest future
directions for curricula, policy and research.

All 23 episodes from Season 2 of the series about Superman's early
life. In 'Vortex', Clark (Tom Welling) rescues Lana (Kristin Kreuk)
from the eye of a tornado, and then discovers that the storm has
powered up his spaceship and deposited it in an exposed position in
a cornfield. In 'Heat', Clark goes into hiding after discovering
his new power of heat vision, which can have some rather startling
effects. 'Duplicity' sees Pete (Sam Jones) happening upon Clark's
spaceship in the cornfield, which forces Clark to reveal his secret
to him. In 'Red', Clark is given his high school ring which is
supposedly set with ruby, but is actually red meteor rock. The rock
has an instant and dramatic effect on him, changing him into a
wayward rebel who overspends on the family credit card and picks
fights. In 'Nocturne', Lana finds a love poem left for her at her
parents' grave by Byron Moore (Sean Faris), an elusive boy with a
dark and dangerous secret. 'Lineage' sees a mysterious woman,
Rachel Dunlevy (Blair Brown) turning up in Smallville, claiming to
be Clark's biological mother. This prompts the Kents to finally
reveal to Clark the truth about what happened when they discovered
him as a toddler in the cornfield. In 'Ryan', Clark tests his
powers to the limit to save Ryan (Ryan James), a telepathic boy who
is being used as a test subject at the Summerholt Research Facility
by the evil Dr Garner (Martin Cummins). In 'Dichotic', a gifted
student, Ian (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) has cloned himself and is
dating both Lana and Chloe (Allison Mack) at the same time. Clark
tries to warn the girls, but they attribute his interference to
jealousy. In 'Skinwalkers', Clark falls into a cave filled with
Native American inscriptions that hold the key to his true
identity. 'Visage' sees the return of Whitney Fordman (Eric
Johnson), which disrupts the relationship betwen Clark and Lana -
until his odd behaviour prompts Clark to make a shocking discovery
about his true identity. In 'Suspect', Jonathan finds himself
framed for murder after being found in possession of a murder
weapon. But Clark and Pete mount their own investigation and
discover a tangle of motives and possible suspects. 'Insurgence'
sees Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) discovering that Lionel has secretly
installed an electronic surveillance system in his mansion. In
retaliation, Lex hires crooks to install cameras in Lionel's
Metropolis office... In 'Rush', a parasitic worm infects Pete and
Chloe, turning them into wild adrenaline junkies. In 'Prodigal',
Lex tracks down his long-lost brother Lucas (Paul Wasilewski), and
brings him home to Smallville in the hope that they can buy Lionel
out and unite against him. 'Fever' sees Martha (Annette O'Toole)
fall into a coma after breathing in meteor dust. It is then
revealed that she is pregnant with Clark's brother or sister.
'Rosetta' features a guest appearance from the original Superman
movie actor, Christopher Reeve, who plays Dr Virgil Swann, a
brilliant scientist who helps Clark to receive messages from his
home planet using the Native American symbols that Clark discovered
when he fell into the cave. In 'Visitor', a new student, Cyrus
Krupp (Jeremy Lelliot) reveals to Clark that he is an alien.
'Precipice' sees Clark jumping to Lana's defence when she is almost
assaulted by a college student. He injures the student, causing him
to question the virtue of his powers, and soon finds himself facing
a lawsuit that could cost the Kents their farm. In 'Witness', Clark
tries to intervene after inadvertently witnessing the theft of a
Luthercorp truck, but is dismayed to discover that the thieves are
as strong as he is. In 'Accelerate', Lana asks for Clark's advice
after being visited by the ghost of her childhood friend, Emily
(Jodelle Micah Ferlar). But Clark realises that the little girl is
in fact a kryptonite-enhanced clone who is out to get revenge on
Lana, and wants her to drown just as she, Emily, did several years
before. In 'Calling', Dr Frederick Walden (Rob LaBelle) wakes from
his coma to find himself in possession of incredible powers, and
sets off on a dangerous mission to kill Clark. In 'Exodus', Clark
makes an amazing discovery about his origins when the spaceship
announces that it is programmed with memories of his Kryptonian
father, Jor-El (Terence Stamp). It asks him to come at sunset to
return to his family and friends and fulfil his destiny. But can
Clark leave his life in Smallville behind? 'Redux' sees Clark
coming to the rescue when a mutant, Chrissy (Maggie Lawson), starts
killing young men by sucking their youth out of them to keep
herself young, leaving them aged and lifeless.
