As the world entered the twenty-first century, global skill
shortages in many occupations were evident throughout the world.
While these were mitigated by a global recession, there is no
generally agreed upon method for measuring these shortages. This
book discusses various theories for measurement. Using data
collected from 19 developed countries in North and Latin America,
Europe, and the Pacific region, the authors explore various aspects
of skilled labor shortages, develop a methodology of measuring
shortages by occupation, and provide estimates of the likelihood of
the occurrence of such shortages. They develop labor market
indicators which measure the degree of shortage or surplus in
different occupations. The study covers as many as 49 occupational
groups, although the number varies by country. The indicators are
compared to anecdotal reports about shortages in the countries
studied as well as correlated with various economic, political and
institutional indicators. Some occupations such as CEO's, health
professionals and computer scientists were common across many
countries studied and part of a global shortage. Scholars,
government officials, students and corporate and union
representatives concerned with employment, labor and training
policies and issues will find the data and analysis in this book a
valuable addition to their knowledge.
Investigating the wave of unionization that has seen over 60
digital and legacy media outlets unionize since 2015, this book
explores how a flash of organizing by digital-first journalists has
become a full-blown movement to unionize journalism, particularly
in the United States. Through in-depth interviews with journalists
and organizers, New Media Unions maps the process of labor
organizing, foregrounding journalists’ voices and documenting a
historic and ongoing moment in the digital media industry. Cohen
and de Peuter examine what motivates union drives, then follow
journalists through the making of a union from scratch. They
explore how journalists strategically self-organize, apply their
communication skills to alternative ends, generate affective bonds
of solidarity, and build power to confront anti-union campaigns and
bargain first contracts, winning significant gains and drafting a
new labor code for journalism in a digital age. This book
demonstrates that if journalism is to have a future, it must be
organized. New Media Unions provides a counter-perspective on an
industry in flux, whose protagonists—young journalists facing
precarious futures—are using collective organizing to articulate
a bottom-up vision for journalism’s future. This is a valuable
resource for academics and researchers interested in political
economy, journalism studies, and labor studies. Book website:

This major book provides a new understanding of systems of
corporate governance, notably in the USA, Japan and the EU. It
discusses how governance influences corporate cultures and
strategies, particularly in response to the effects of deepening
integration in the world economy. These effects present challenges
for governments, obliging them to focus increasingly on problems of
the management of structural and foreign trade policies. Challenges
in international financial markets also have to be confronted by
policymakers as industries are funded more and more through
cross-border investments, which reflect the responses of systems of
corporate governance to globalization. The book links studies of
corporate governance with surveys of efficiencies and failures in
international financial markets, as well as examining aspects of
corporate governance systems that have special significance for the
management of economic policies as globalization continues. The
contributors advocate increased international cooperation to
promote more structural complementarities in the world economy.
Although radiation accidents are rare and often complex in nature, they are of great concern not only to the patient and involved medical staff, but to the media and public as well. Yet there are few if any comprehensive publications on the medical management of radiation accidents. Medical Management of Radiation Accidents provides a complete reference for those concerned with radiation accidents nationally as well as abroad.
Substantially different from the first edition, which dealt predominantly with radiation accident experiences in the United States, this updated and revised Second Edition represents an international cooperative effort that reflects current international approaches and experiences related to the medical management of radiation accidents. It is organized into areas that include:
o the fundamental aspects, medical characteristics, and classification of radiation accidents o aspects of radiation on the entire body and specific tissues o the history of accidents throughout the world o a general overview of certain types of accidents with specific examples o a follow-up of persons accidentally exposed to radiation with considerations related to epidemiological studies and a few selected examples o radiation protection and dosimetry issues, psychological considerations, and accidental exposure of pregnant females.
The majority of this text is a Russian-United States effort; however, it includes work from authors from Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Japan, and Peru.
Demonstrating the crucial role that private international law and
legality has played and continues to play in shaping globalization,
this book argues that the rules, institutions, and actors that make
up the practice of private international law have been critical in
translating political and economic power into legal regimes that
have facilitated the processes of globalization. These processes
depend on two fundamental types of socio-political action - the
legal structuring of emerging transnational spaces and flows of
goods, capital, and finance, and the legal-political
reconfiguration of state power and priorities to facilitate the
growth of these spaces and their penetration into national
political-economic-and social spaces. While a variety of processes
were involved in these forms of action, the material practices of
private international law played a central role in this project of
political economic reconstruction. Offering a theory of private
international legality as a practice that intersects with and
provides a vehicle for the mobilization of political and economic
power, this book examines the construction and enrolment of private
law expertise and the structural condition of pluralism in the
global political economy to argue that private international law
has helped construct a global political economy responsive to the
priorities of powerful actors and resistant to the demands and
interests of the rest of the world's populations. It will be of
interest to academics and students exploring the relationship
between law, international political economy and the nature of
state power.

Mathematica, Maple, and similar software packages provide programs
that carry out sophisticated mathematical operations. Applying the
ideas introduced in Computer Algebra and Symbolic Computation:
Elementary Algorithms, this book explores the application of
algorithms to such methods as automatic simplification, polynomial
decomposition, and polynomial factorization. This book includes
complexity analysis of algorithms and other recent developments. It
is well-suited for self-study and can be used as the basis for a
graduate course. Maintaining the style set by Elementary
Algorithms, the author explains mathematical methods as needed
while introducing advanced methods to treat complex operations.
How can groups effectively meet the needs of humans in areas as
diverse as aid, responsibility, action, healing, learning and
acceptance? This edited volume aims to address these issues and
provide ways to extend the current reach and quality of social work
with groups. Based on a selection of papers from the 24th Annual
International Symposium of the Association for the Advancement of
Social Work with Groups (AASWG) the chosen chapters embody the
strength and diversity of the Symposium, encouraging and encourage
readers to "Think Group". Chapters address the future challenges
faced in social work with groups, including issues in teaching
group work, holistic thinking about groups, team-building, staff
development programs and university-agency collaborations to
strength group work practice. There are chapters focusing on how
mutual aid groups support trauma recovery, including one with
firemen addressing the aftermath of the 9/11 disaster, as well as
chapters that examine group work's place in community development,
challenging social isolation, mask making as a medium for growth,
and special issues in addressing concerns of children and youth.
This book will be of interest to researchers, professionals and
students in social work and human service fields.
