nidottu
Higher education is undergoing radical changes with the arrival of emerging technology that can facilitate better teaching and learning experiences. However, with a lack of technical awareness, technophobia, and security and trust issues, there are several barriers to the uptake of emerging technologies. As a result, many of these new technologies have been overlooked or underutilized. In the information systems and higher education domains, there exists a need to explore underutilized technologies in higher education that can foster communication and learning. Fostering Communication and Learning With Underutilized Technologies in Higher Education is a critical reference source that provides contemporary theories in the area of technology-driven communication and learning in higher education. The book offers new knowledge about educational technologies and explores such themes as artificial intelligence, digital learning platforms, gamification tools, and interactive exhibits. The target audience includes researchers, academicians, practitioners, and students who are working or have a keen interest in information systems, learning technologies, and technology-led teaching and learning. Moreover, the book provides an understanding and support to higher education practitioners, faculty, educational board members, technology vendors and firms, and the Ministry of Education.

With contributions from a diverse range of experts and practitioners from around the world, the chapters highlight innovative initiatives, case studies, and recommendations for building more inclusive communities. The authors, coming from different parts of the world, including Colombia, Mexico, North Macedonia, India, Spain, USA, UAE, Lebanon, Nigeria, and Switzerland, bring insights into the diverse experiences and perspectives of refugees.

The world is changing at an unprecedented pace and organizations worldwide are finding it difficult to match their operational efficiency and sustainable development targets with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). Due to massive scarcity of resources, global supply chains are under immense pressure, leading to social, economic, and environmental challenges.

In the highly dynamic business environment, there is an urgent need to catch up with the paradigm shift being created using these technologies. The studies brought together here emphasise how various disruptive technologies can aid in sustainable development, offering possible strategies to help tackle the challenges we face today and embrace the new normal. Collaboration, adaptation, and continuous learning hold the key in overcoming the grand societal challenges and maintaining a balance between social, economic, and environmental dimensions. This edited collection appeals to a wide range of academics and professionals including graduate, postgraduate, and PhD research scholars, and faculty members in the areas of International Management, International Business, International Marketing, Finance, Human Resources and Corporate Governance.

Fostering for Adoption

Fostering for Adoption

Alice Hill

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

nidottu
For anyone considering or going through Fostering for Adoption, this book gives you a detailed, personal account of the process which takes you through all the stages and prepares you to cope with the highs and lows. Fostering for Adoption is a relatively recent initiative (Children and Families Act, 2014) in the adoption legal landscape, seeking early permanence for babies and young children where adoption is most likely to be the plan for the child. This is often cited as a route to be in the best interests of the child, enabling secure attachments and stability. However, for adopters it is inherently risky, it is the adopters who take on the risk in this situation, accept the placement on a fostering basis and hope that the final outcome will be adoption. There is currently a knowledge gap on experiences of Fostering for Adoption which this book tackles. Written from an adopters’ perspective of the risks and challenges, as well as the benefits that it brings, it is perfect for those who are considering the process as well as their friends and family. A book on Fostering for Adoption can’t just focus on one story and one outcome so we’ve included case studies which cover the key experiences adopters may face when agreeing to accept a baby on a Foster to Adopt placement such as: Caring for a baby a few days after birthThe paperwork, rules and fostering processThe uncertainty and riskMeeting with birth parentsContactLooking after a withdrawing babyA termination of placementWritten in an engaging and friendly style, this book is perfect reading for anyone looking to adopt a child and for adoption professionals seeking to understand the experience of the adopter more profoundly.Praise for Fostering for AdoptionAs someone who has been through a similar journey this book resonated with me. It is honest about the ups and downs and is a great, informative book for anybody thinking of taking this route or who have family or friends that are. I can say that this book will help anyone at the beginning of their journey, to help them through the process and – start the lifetime of learning about how we can support our children.Lisa Faulkner, Author, Meant to be.Alice’s book will be a great companion to anyone considering or starting on the foster to adopt process. It is well-researched and written and doesn’t shy away from the many complexities and the considerations that adults must make in the best interests of children.Sally Donovan, Author of No Matter What, and Editor of Adoption Today.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, I found myself laughing and getting emotional throughout. As someone who has themselves been adopted, but who is also a social worker who has now adopted a child, this book is brilliant from every angle. A must read for anyone considering Fostering for Adoption.Jo, Social Worker, Midlands.“This book gives a balanced and honest view of the whole Fostering for Adoption journey. It gets to the emotions and seriousness of decisions being made about children's lives. This is an important read for any potential adopter and will be on our book lists for sure.”Angi, Social Worker, Adoption Tees Valley.

Fostering a Fourth Democratic Wave

Fostering a Fourth Democratic Wave

Hardy Merriman; Patrick Quirk; Ash Jain

International Center on Nonviolent Conflict
2023
pokkari
A powerful autocratic wave is sweeping the globe. Over the last 17 years, no country remains untouched. Fostering a Fourth Democratic Wave builds on a growing body of research that finds that civil resistance movements-using tactics such as strikes, boycotts, civil disobedience, and a range of other nonviolent tactics-are one of the most powerful forces for democracy worldwide and therefore are central to countering the authoritarian threat.It advances a three-part strategy to do so by: 1. Proposing new approaches and tools to support civil resistance movements.2. Advancing a new international norm-the "Right to Assistance" to pro-democracy movements.3. Outlining strategic and tactical options to constrain authoritarian regimes and drive up the cost of their repression.

I am Carol Lucas, the founder of F.A.C.T. I am a former foster child and due to my own emotional issues stemming from my foster care experience, I felt a need for a support group, but when I went in search for one, discovered there weren't any, so decided to form one myself. One would suppose that with all the support groups available, there would be one for former foster children, especially since there are so many of us (currently about 500,000 in the U.S in the foster care system) and we have such strong issues, but somehow we have remained hidden.
