This book examines the spectrum of green behaviors in organizational settings, focusing on the contribution that employees make through their environmental engagement. The authors provide an overview of green behaviors while clarifying the meaning of the concept and its critical importance to greening employees. By distinguishing between voluntary (e.g., encouraging colleagues to express their ideas about environmental issues), prescribed (e.g., having an obligation to implement environmental policies), and counterproductive (e.g., not caring about water or electricity consumption) behaviors, the book rethinks sustainable development, placing the psychological and environmental dimensions on a par. Aimed at researchers in human resource management, organizational behavior, organizational change, and psychology, this interdisciplinary study proposes a novel approach to sustainability by assessing employee behaviors at work.
The definitive toolkit for doctoral students in engineering on thesis—and journal article—preparation, project (and stress) management, IP protection, collaborations, and other aspects of the PhD journey. It shouldn't take a PhD to get a PhD, but sometimes the process can seem that confusing—even though, to the mentors and advisors, so obvious that it goes without saying. For doctoral students in engineering confronting this dilemma, Caroline Boudoux, an accomplished researcher and entrepreneur, provides a demystifying guide to the challenges—daunting, seemingly routine, and at times unexpected—of pursuing a PhD in this demanding field. In It Goes without Saying, Boudoux marshals h...
Explores how global markets, middlemen and destination aspirations drive the 'stepwise migrations' of Filipino and Indonesian migrant domestic workers.
Cet ouvrage se veut à la fois réflexion théorique et pratique pour offrir un regard inédit sur les sciences et les arts afin de décloisonner ces disciplines pour multiplier leurs potentialités. Nous avons voulu (re)donner chair à la matière brute, la matière objective. Cette réflexion arrivera-t-elle à se déployer en d’autres volets pour sensibiliser de nouveaux publics ? « Artistes, écrivains et scientifiques ont été dépassés, gênés, d’avoir trop longtemps empêché ces liens et ces possibles. Il y a eu cette exposition abattant tous les murs. Étonnante exposition où le visuel, le littéraire et le scientifique ont créé un espace époustouflant d’humanit頻. - ...

Oír ese río: Antología poética de los cinco continentes es un homenaje que 126 poetas contemporáneos rinden al fenómeno del fluir del agua, que sin expectativas ni orgullos, traza rutas conectando regiones, vivencias, aventuras y sentimientos, desdibujando bordes y hermanando pueblos en su recorrido. Es un libro que reúne la obra poética de autores de los cinco continentes sobre la historia, la mitología, el recuerdo y el poderoso simbolismo que se concentra en los ríos del mundo. Esta tercera edición (primera en formato digital) cuenta con el apoyo de la fundación PIBES de Argentina y Alpina Industrias Alimenticias de Colombia, como muestra de su iniciativa por encontrar una manera más digna y sostenible de habitar nuestro planeta.

This volume contains the proceedings of the ICTS Program: Groups, Geometry and Dynamics, held December 3-16, 2012, at CEMS, Almora, India. The activity was an academic tribute to Ravi S. Kulkarni on his turning seventy. Articles included in this volume, both introductory and advanced surveys, represent the broad area of geometry that encompasses a large portion of group theory (finite or otherwise) and dynamics in its proximity. These areas have been influenced by Kulkarni's ideas and are closely related to his work and contribution.
