International Commercial Mediation: Law and Regulation in Comparative Context
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1108835880 | 369 Pages | PDF | 2.25 MB
In this comprehensive comparative study, RonГЎn Feehily analyses the legal and regulatory issues surrounding international commercial mediation and discusses their implications in a range of settings. While existing literature tends to cover mediation in general, Feehily places the commercial mediation process in its legal and regulatory context, offering an original contribution to the field. The book identifies the controversies that arise from the mediation process across numerous jurisdictions and discusses them in detail. Comparing the mediation process in Europe, North America and Australia, as well as other common, civil and 'mixed' jurisdictions, Feehily demonstrates where systemic differences are transcended and where they are significant. Organised systematically and written in an accessible style, Feehily offers an international, holistic guide to the commercial mediation process.

Integrative Religious Education in Europe: A Study-of-Religions Approach By Wanda Alberts
2007 | 442 Pages | ISBN: 3110196611 | PDF | 12 MB
This book is a contribution to the development of the young discipline of the didactics of the Study of Religions (Religionswissenschaft) in international perspective. Integrative religious education refers to education about different religions in classrooms with children of various religious and non-religious backgrounds. Cornerstones of recent debates about theory and methodology in the academic study of religions and in education are discussed in the first chapter. They form the basis of the following analysis and evaluation of current approaches to integrative religious education in Europe, with a special focus on England and Sweden. Particular attention is paid to the different underlying concepts of religion, education and ways of representing religious plurality in these approaches. Building on a discussion of the current situation of teaching and learning about religions in schools in Europe in the context of wider cultural, social and political debates, the book concludes with the suggestion of a framework for integrative religious education in Europe, from a perspective that combines insights from the study of religions and education.

Stuti Kokkalera, "In Defense of Juveniles Sentenced to Life "
English | ISBN: 1032052996 | 2022 | 78 pages | PDF | 1523 KB
This book examines how attorneys enable a meaningful opportunity for release for individuals sentenced to life as juveniles. The work provides a detailed overview of how legal representation facilitates opportunities for release for juveniles sentenced to life: "juvenile lifers". It contributes to the broader literature on the importance of legal representation in the criminal legal system by investigating the role of an attorney in the parole process. Drawing on interviews with lawyers and qualitative content analyses of attorney participation in parole recordings from one state, the study illustrates how attorney assistance provides an important due process protection in the highly discretionary context of parole. The analysis of attorney representation is situated in the history of how they became prominent in the criminal legal system, and how their assistance has been viewed as vital in the parole process. Prior criminological and legal research relates the impact a lawyer can have by preparing a juvenile lifer candidate to present a suitable narrative for release, one that relates their diminished criminal culpability and rehabilitative efforts to prepare for life beyond prison.

Ivan Franceschini, "Global China as Method "
English | ISBN: 110899556X | 2022 | 86 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Is China part of the world? Based on much of the political, media, and popular discourse in the West the answer is seemingly no. Even after four decades of integration into the global socioeconomic system, discussions of China continue to be underpinned by a core assumption: that the country represents a fundamentally different 'other' that somehow exists outside the 'real' world. Either implicitly or explicitly, China is generally depicted as an external force with the potential to impact on the 'normal' functioning of things. This core assumption, of China as an orientalised, externalised, and separate 'other', ultimately produces a distorted image of both China and the world. This Element seeks to illuminate the ways in which the country and people form an integral part of the global capitalist system. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Qianshen Bai, "Fu Shan's World: The Transformation of Chinese Calligraphy in the Seventeenth Century"
English | 2003 | pages: 362 | ISBN: 0674010922 | PDF | 30,7 mb
For 1,300 years, Chinese calligraphy was based on the elegant art of Wang Xizhi (A.D. 303-361). But the seventeenth-century emergence of a style modeled on the rough, broken epigraphs of ancient bronzes and stone artifacts brought a revolution in calligraphic taste. By the eighteenth century, this led to the formation of the stele school of calligraphy, which continues to shape Chinese calligraphy today.

Specifically, bank risk aggregation is of great importance to maintain stable operation of banking industry and prevent financial crisis.

Fault Tolerant Computer Architecture by Daniel J. Sorin
English | PDF | 2009 | 116 Pages | ISBN : 1598299530 | 1.1 MB
For many years, most computer architects have pursued one primary goal: performance. Architects have translated the ever-increasing abundance of ever-faster transistors provided by Moore's law into remarkable increases in performance. Recently, however, the bounty provided by Moore's law has been accompanied by several challenges that have arisen as devices have become smaller, including a decrease in dependability due to physical faults. In this book, we focus on the dependability challenge and the fault tolerance solutions that architects are developing to overcome it. The two main purposes of this book are to explore the key ideas in fault-tolerant computer architecture and to present the current state-of-the-art - over approximately the past 10 years - in academia and industry. Table of Contents: Introduction / Error Detection / Error Recovery / Diagnosis / Self-Repair / The Future.

Michael Moore, "Downsize This"
English | 2002 | pages: 292 | ISBN: 0330419153, 051770739X | PDF | 9,0 mb
From the creator of the hit BBC TV Show TV NATION, the most popular documentary of all time, Emmy Award-winning ROGER AND ME, and the stupendously successful STUPID WHITE MEN, is a new edition of Michael Moore's classic book for all you disillusioned, political abstainees who are working longer hours for less pay and have had enough... Michael Moore has established himself as someone who just won't shut up, go away, or otherwise do what political and coporate fat cats would like him to do. With chapter headings such as 'Why Doesn't General Motors Sell Crack?' setting the tone for a biting indictment of American corporate politics, Moore's take-no-prisoners attitude is brutally funny, insightful, irrepressible. The issues raised are universal; here, Michael Moore lifts the veil on the people who set themselves up as our role models and hysterically exposes their vulnerable underbellies. 'America has an irrepressible new humorist in the tradition of Mark Twain... he is Michael Moore.' New York Times 'Michael Moore deserves on of those Genius grants so he can take on any subject of his choosing.' New York Post
