Is your organization strategically prepared for the digital and
distributed workplace? Technology, data analytics and artificial
intelligence already impact how people work and engage with
organizations. A dispersed workforce, greater transparency, social
change, generational shift and value chain disruptions are driving
new behaviors and expectations from the workplace. Together, these
trends are shaping a new era of distributed and digitally enabled
network of workers where the work comes to workers instead of the
workers going to work. In Humans at Work, employee and workplace
experience experts Anna Tavis and Stela Lupushor advocate for the
adoption of human-centric practices as a critical and necessary
part of adapting work and workplaces to the future of work.
Outlining the four factors (digitization of work, distributed
workplaces, organizational redesign and changing workforce) driving
the dramatic changes in the workplace, each chapter provides
examples of how innovative companies are building workplace
infrastructure and reshaping norms, serving new markets and
adopting new technologies. Filled with examples from both start-ups
and established companies, Humans at Work is the workplace leader's
guide to building a workplace that creates market value by making
work more human.
This volume analyzes morphological and morphonological phenomena
from a number of distinct Slavic languages. It does so in an
innovative manner, yet also positions the analysis in the context
of current morphological debates. It is thus a valuable
contribution both to comparative Slavic morphology and general
morphological theory. Moreover, the book is the first attempt at a
theory of conversion and subtraction relevant to languages with
rich inflectional morphology. It contributes to our structural
understanding of the nature of word. As the first illustration of
subtraction with examples from southern Slavic languages, it is an
excellent source of specialist data. The book's theoretical
framework is easily accessible and applicable to other languages,
which makes it attractive to researchers on Slavic languages and
general linguists alike. The volume will also appeal to general
morphologists, typologists, and advanced students in linguistics.
Advanced Separations by Specialized Sorbents opens a new window
into sorbent materials, presenting fundamental principles for their
syntheses and adsorption properties. The book presents advanced
techniques used to create specialized sorbents with a wide range of
functions that can be used to enhance the separation and/or
purification of useful bioactive compounds, heavy metals, dyes, and
other substances. It discusses the most recent developments in the
field of separation processes, covering specialized sorbents such
as monolith cryogels, composite hydrogels, metal-impregnated ion
exchangers, and molecularly imprinted polymers. The book provides a
comprehensive discussion of the selectivity in separation processes
by composite materials based on synthetic polymers/biopolymers and
inorganic particles. It is a comprehensive resource for academic
and research scientists as well as students interested in the
preparation, characterization, and application of specialized
sorbents.
This volume addresses a number of issues in current morphological
theory from the point of view of diminutive formation, such as the
role of phonology in diminutives and hypocoristics and consequently
its place in the overall architecture of grammar, i.e.
phonology-first versus syntax/morphology-first theoretical
analyses, diminutives in the L1 acquisition of typologically
diverse languages, and the borrowing of non-diminutive morphology
for the expression of diminutive meanings, among others. Among the
peculiarities of diminutive morphology discussed are the relation
between diminutives and mass nouns, the avoidance of diminutives in
plural contexts in some languages, and the relatively frequent
semantic bleaching and reanalysis of diminutive forms
cross-linguistically. Special attention is paid to the debate on
the head versus modifier status of diminutive affixes
(corresponding to high versus low diminutives in alternative
analyses), with data from spoken and sign languages. Overall, the
volume addresses a number of topics that will be of interest to
scholars of almost all linguistic subfields and per
This volume of thematic studies offers multifaceted interpretations
of education for sustainable and solidary development (ESSD). It is
a joint work of academics, teachers and researchers covering the
domain of education from the perspective of economy, social
sciences, language studies, communication and pedagogy. The authors
propose a range of reflections and empirical studies which refer
to: various means and methods for an effective teaching/learning
process; transversal skills related to ESSD; and the importance of
financial resources and quality assurance in education. The unitary
and original endeavour of this volume establishes a common meeting
point for devising up-to-date methods and practices across
disciplines, with a view to supporting sustainable and solidary
education.
This volume advances our understanding of how word structure in
terms of affix ordering is organized in the languages of the world.
A central issue in linguistic theory, affix ordering receives much
attention amongst the research community, though most studies deal
with only one language. By contrast, the majority of the chapters
in this volume consider more than one language and provide data
from typologically diverse languages, some of which are examined
for the first time. Many chapters focus on cases of affix ordering
that challenge linguistic theory with such phenomena as affix
repetition and variable ordering, both of which are shown to be
neither rare nor typical only of lesser-studied languages with
unstable grammatical organization, as previously assumed. The book
also offers an explicit discussion on the non-existence of
phonological affix ordering, with a focus on mobile affixation, and
one on the emergence of affix ordering in child language, the first
of its kind in the literature. Repetitive operations, undesirable
in many theories, are frequent in early child language and seem to
serve as trainings for morphological decomposition and affix
stacking. Thus, the volume also raises important questions
regarding the general architecture of grammar and the nature and
side effects of our theoretical assumptions.

Der Fokus der Autorin liegt auf der innereuropaischen
Zusammenarbeit im Gemeinsamen Europaischen Asylsystem (GEAS). Dabei
stehen die Ausgestaltung und die Zukunft des Fluchtlingsrechts in
den Mitgliedstaaten und auf europaischer Ebene im Mittelpunkt der
Diskussion. Die Untersuchung ermittelt das Solidaritatsprinzip des
Unionsrechts (Art. 80 AEUV) im Hinblick auf die menschenrechtlichen
Verpflichtungen der Union und ihrer Mitgliedstaaten gegenuber
Fluchtlingen. Dazu arbeitet die Autorin die rechtlichen
Bewertungsmassstabe heraus, analysiert die Praktiken auf Ebene des
Verwaltungsrechts und schildert diverse unionsrechtliche
Massnahmen. So kann sie aktuelle Missstande in der
innereuropaischen Zusammenarbeit im Bereich der Asylpolitik sowie
in der Ausgestaltung zukunftsgerechter Verteilungsmodelle und
Regelungsoptionen fur das GEAS aufzeigen.
