Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are home to more than 90,000
transnational adoptees of Scandinavian parents raised in a
predominantly white environment. This ethnography provides a unique
perspective on how these transracial adoptees conceptualize and
construct their sense of identity along the intersection of
ethnicity, family, and national lines.
The short history of the International Working Conference on
Educating Professionals for Network Centric Organizations is a good
illustration of the tremendous rate of development of global
networking, its impact and of its deep penetration into management
of business, industty and administration. In 1996, when the theme
and name of the conference had been set, there was yet no heavy use
of networks in the fields just mentioned. However, it has been
already established well enough to enable those with a visionary
sense to feel that it will be an important subject and it could be
an interesting theme for a conference to be held within two years.
It seemed a risky decision at the time but it turned out to be very
successful when conducted in 1998. It has been stated that "it took
until 1997 for the business world to discover the Internet." In
less than two years, the Internet and the Intranets are a vital
component for running major parts of the business world. This fast
pace puts some pressure on writing papers and holding a conferenc-
effort has to be made to have meaningful contents despite the
changes. A time span of 9 months between writing a paper and having
it published, seemed once to be very short, but it is not so any
more when referring to a dynamic issue like global networking.
Educational institutions in which administrators, managers and
teachers will be working in the late 1990's will be far different
from those oftoday. Schools, which until recently were lagging
behind in the implementation of information technology (IT) in
their administration and management, are now attempting to close
the gap. A massive and rapid computerization process in schools,
school districts and throughout the other Ievels of the educational
system, including universities, has made computers an integral part
of the educational management scene. A computer on the desk of
every educational management statT might become a reality in the
near future. The term "IT" includes three main components:
hardware, software - mainly management information systems
(MIS)/decision support systems (DSS) and human factors. Presently,
successful implementation depends on adequate software and on human
factors. MIS/DSSs are being implemented with the aim of providing
meaningful support for school employees in their daily activities,
and to improve their performance, etfectiveness and efficiency.
Much like at universities, usable and accessible school databases
are being established, encompassing data on students, teachers,
employees, classrooms, grade Ievels, courses, student achievements
and behavior, school space, curriculum, finance, inventory,
transportation, etc.
This book is for both specialist and generalist. For Information
Technology (IT) and Educational Management (EM) researchers, it
brings together the latest information and analysis of ITEM
projects in eleven countries. But the issues raised by this
collection of papers are so important for schools, school systems
and the future of education that it is essential reading not only
for researchers but also for teachers, administrators and all
concerned with the planning and governance of our education
systems. New technologies may improve our lives in two ways: by
enabling us to do things better (accomplishing what we do already
more efficiently) and by enabling us to do better things
(accomplishing new things that we were not able to do before).
Sometimes "doing things better" merges into "doing better things."
Thus in the 19th century the coming of the railway enabled our
forbears to accomplish their existing journies in less time and in
greater comfort. But it also opened up the prospect of new journies
to more distant places, and led ultimately to far-reaching changes
in lifestyles in new, commuter settlements far from the old city
centres. So it is in the present day with Information Technology in
Educational Management. Some of the papers in this volume focus on
specialist tasks, for example how to develop a computer-based
decision-support system to help those drawing up school timetables.
Others address situations in which the power of the technology
offers us the potential to change radically what we do.
The power of modern information systems and information technology
(lSIIT) offers new opportunities to rethink, at the broadest
levels, existing business strategies, approaches and practices.
Over the past decade, IT has opened up new business opportunities,
led to the development of new strategic IS and challenged all
managers and users of ISIIT to devise new ways to make better use
of information. Yet this era which began with much confidence and
optimism is now suffering under a legacy of systems that are
increasingly failing to meet business needs, and lasting fixes are
proving costly and difficult to implement. General management is
experiencing a crisis of confidence in their IS functions and in
the chiefinformation systems officers who lead them (Earl and
Feeney, 1994:11). The concern for chief executive officers is that
they are confronting a situation that is seemingly out of control.
They are asking, 'What is the best way to rein in these problems
and effectively assess IS performance? Further, how can we be
certain that IS is adequately adding value to the organisational
bottom line?' On the other hand, IS executives and professionals
who are responsible for creating, managing and maintaining the
organisation's systems are worried about the preparedness of
general managers to cope with the growth in new technologies and
systems. They see IT having a polarising effect on general
managers; it either bedazzles or frightens them (Davenport, 1994:
119).
As the world becomes increasingly dependent on the use of
computers, the need for quality software which can be produced at
reasonable cost increases. This IFIP proceedings brings together
the work of leading researchers and practitioners who are concerned
with the efficient production of quality software.
The revision of Advanced Medical Intuition adds two new causes of
illness for a total of eight, rather than the original six causes.
The first edition of this book won the 1st Place Gold Award from
COVR Book Awards. Advanced Medical Intuition (Second Edition) is
bolstered with more categories regarding causes of illness and
enhanced details to maintain a vital health level as a healer and
to realize just how powerful you are as a human. Advanced Medical
Intuition will enable you to use those refined intuitive skills to
uncover now eight causes of illness and the unique healing methods
for each cause. Directing healing toward the true causes of each
illness leads to healings that are far beyond the superficial
level. Advanced Medical Intuition is part of the Medical Intuitive
series, an intuitive training manual series.

This book examines the intersections of bioethics, human rights and
health equity. It does so through the contextual lenses of nation
states while presenting global themes on rights, colonialism and
bioethics. The book is framed by the following propositions on
indigenous health: it is a human rights issue; it is located within
the politics of colonization; and subjugated indigenous knowledges
require restoring.
The challenge of this book has been to rethink prevailing ideas
about the social map of Jewish society during the Tannaitic period
(70 C.E. - 220 C.E.). New insights were made possible by applying
anthropological theories and conceptual tools. In addition, social
phenomena were better understood by comparing them to similar
social phenomena in other cultures regardless of time and space.
The book explores the rich and complex relationships between the
Sages, Priests, and laymen who competed for hegemony in social,
cultural, and political arenas. The struggle was not simply a case
of attempting to displace the priestly elite by a new scholarly
elite. Rather, in the process of constituting a counter-hegemony,
the attitude of the Sages towards the Priests entailed ambivalent
psychological mechanisms, such as attraction - rejection, imitation
- denial, and cooperation - confrontation. The book further reveals
that to achieve political and social power the Sages used the
established hegemonic priestly discourse to undermine the existing
social structure. The innovative discovery of this monograph is
that while the Sages professed a new social order based on
intellectual achievement, they retained elements of the old order,
such as family attribution, group nepotism, endogamy, ritual purity
and impurity, and secret knowledge. Thus, social mobility based on
education was available only to privileged social classes. The
conclusion of the book is that even though the Sages resisted the
priestly hegemony and attempted to disengage from it, they could
not free themselves from the shackles of the priestly discourse and
praxis.

The rapid growth of online media has led to new complications in
journalism ethics and practice. While traditional ethical
principles may not fundamentally change when information is
disseminated online, applying them across platforms has become more
challenging as new kinds of interactions develop between
journalists and audiences.
In "Ethics for Digital Journalists," Lawrie Zion and David Craig
draw together the international expertise and experience of
journalists and scholars who have all been part of the process of
shaping best practices in digital journalism. Drawing on
contemporary events and controversies like the Boston Marathon
bombing and the Arab Spring, the authors examine emerging best
practices in everything from transparency and verification to
aggregation, collaboration, live blogging, tweeting and the
challenges of digital narratives. At a time when questions of
ethics and practice are challenged and subject to intense debate,
this book is designed to provide students and practitioners with
the insights and skills to realize their potential as
professionals.
