Work-Life Matters

Work-Life Matters

David Pendleton; Peter Derbyshire; Chloe Hodgkinson

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2022
nidottu
Work-life balance isn’t about where or how you spend your time. At least not solely. It’s about where and how you use and replenish your energy. Work matters. Life matters. Work-life matters.As we start to navigate life during and after the pandemic, employers and employees are increasingly re-evaluating how work can be made more sustainable and more fulfilling. Many employees - particularly Gen X and Gen Z - are seeking a new psychological contract with their employers. Putting these trends into context and offering practical solutions, this book takes a deep dive into why work matters as part of a healthy and fulfilling life. The authors present a new and different way of thinking about the matter of balance, arguing that there is no hard divide between ‘work’ and life’ because ‘work’ takes place entirely within ‘life’ and you can’t balance two things when one is a subset of the other. To achieve the balance required for a healthy existence, we need to recognisethat there are activities in all parts of work-life that drain our energy and others that give us a buzz. Rather than trying to solve the drain of hard work by living it large at the weekend – or compensating for an unfulfilling home life by working like a demon, we need to create balance at work and balance at home. Now is a golden opportunity to re-examine the world of work and job-craft to make them more satisfying, less draining and more energising. The ideas in this book provide a practical guide to help that process.

Stochastic Lagrangian Adaptation

Stochastic Lagrangian Adaptation

David Levanony; Peter E. Caines

Springer International Publishing AG
2024
nidottu
This book introduces a cutting-edge continuous time stochastic linear quadratic (LQ) adaptive control algorithm for fully observed linear stochastic systems with unknown parameters. The adaptive estimation algorithm is engineered to drive the maximum likelihood estimate into the set of parameters representing the true closed-loop dynamics. By incorporating a performance monitoring feature, this approach ensures that the estimate converges to the true system parameters. Concurrently, it delivers optimal long-term LQ closed-loop performance. This groundbreaking work offers a significant advancement in the field of stochastic control systems.

Academic Publishing

Academic Publishing

David Coniam; Peter Falvey

SPRINGER VERLAG, SINGAPORE
2022
nidottu
This book focuses on the topic of academic publishing. It discusses the mounting, serious problems that researchers, particularly new researchers, encounter when trying to publish their research. The book addresses the issues of publishing as well as the salient factors militating against academic publication and the mitigating factors encouraging academic publication. It provides potential solutions, suggestions, and strategies for overcoming some of these problems. Growing research output from Southeast Asia including Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and China reveals the struggles that many authors have to confront when attempting to publish their work in reputable journals. In both South Africa and other parts of Africa, academic researchers are beginning to show strong evidence of credible academic output. These researchers all need valid outlets for their work and the security that authentic peer review brings to the reviewing process. In the fields of education, social sciences, and professional practices, e.g., architecture and law, recent years have seen the emergence of new outlets for practitioners’ research outputs in areas such as one’s own practice, self-reflection, and narrative inquiry. These outlets are discussed in this book. The book also discusses the malign influence of predatory publications in detail. This book will be beneficial to university academics, postgraduate students, Ph.D. supervisors, and new researchers.

A Mayor's Life

A Mayor's Life

Knobler Peter; David Dinkins

PublicAffairs,U.S.
2013
sidottu
How did a scrawny black kid,the son of a barber and a domestic who grew up in Harlem and Trenton,become the 106th mayor of New York City? It's a remarkable journey. David Norman Dinkins was born in 1927, joined the Marine Corps in the waning days of World War II, went to Howard University on the G.I. Bill, graduated cum laude with a degree in mathematics in 1950, and married Joyce Burrows, whose father, Daniel Burrows, had been a state assemblyman well-versed in the workings of New York's political machine. It was his father-in-law who suggested the young mathematician might make an even better politician once he also got his law degree.The political career of David Dinkins is set against the backdrop of the rising influence of a broader demographic in New York politics, including far greater segments of the city's gorgeous mosaic." After a brief stint as a New York assemblyman, Dinkins was nominated as a deputy mayor by Abe Beame in 1973, but ultimately declined because he had not filed his income tax returns on time. Down but not out, he pursued his dedication to public service, first by serving as city clerk. In 1986, Dinkins was elected Manhattan borough president, and in 1989, he defeated Ed Koch and Rudy Giuliani to become mayor of New York City, the largest American city to elect an African American mayor.As the newly-elected mayor of a city in which crime had risen precipitously in the years prior to his taking office, Dinkins vowed to attack the problems and not the victims. Despite facing a budget deficit, he hired thousands of police officers, more than any other mayoral administration in the twentieth century, and launched the Safe Streets, Safe City" program, which fundamentally changed how police fought crime. For the first time in decades, crime rates began to fall,a trend that continues to this day. Among his other major successes, Mayor Dinkins brokered a deal that kept the US Open Tennis Championships in New York,bringing hundreds of millions of dollars to the city annually,and launched the revitalization of Times Square after decades of decay, all the while deflecting criticism and some outright racism with a seemingly unflappable demeanor. Criticized by some for his handling of the Crown Heights riots in 1991, Dinkins describes in these pages a very different version of events. A Mayor's Life is a revealing look at a devoted public servant and a New Yorker in love with his city, who led that city during tumultuous times.

Rafael Garcia: Henchman

Rafael Garcia: Henchman

David Schrader; Peter Murietta

TITAN BOOKS LTD
2026
nidottu
What if life in a super-villain organization was less like a James Bond movie and more like working at Walmart Corporate? Imagine The Office but with more explosive, action-packed adventure, sex, food and general stupidity crossed with superheros. Welcome to the world of Rafael Garcia, a low-level henchman for hire. It’s a dead-end job but someone’s got to do it. With office politics, team building workshops, drug testing, helping to increase his villainous boss' social media standing – and all the soul-sucking problems of working in middle management. Can Rafael cut through the BS, prove himself, and succeed? Can he handle the dark secret at the heart of Maverick, Inc.? Rafael Garcia: Henchman is a high-octane action comedy that brings all the old familiar tropes of a dark workplace comedy by way of a brand-new cinematic superhero universe. From Emmy-Award winning Writer Peter Murrieta (Wizards of Waverly Place / Mr.Iglesias) and Writer/Filmmaker David Schrader (Baby Badass), comes an action comedy that mixes the daily grind of The Office with the slacker absurdity of Stripes -- if the General in charge was more like Lex Luthor. The series is brought to you by lifelong readers of comics with a deep love for the world of superheroes. A love that planted the seed for questions like “Who provides the janitorial services at JLA Headquarters? And do they have a benefits package?” And when is it not appropriate to bitch about your work colleagues, while your taking part in a billion-dollar heist.

Applicative Constructions

Applicative Constructions

David A. Peterson

Oxford University Press
2006
sidottu
This book presents the first systematic typological analysis of applicatives across African, American Indian, and East Asian languages. It is also the first to address their functions in discourse, the derivation of their semantic and syntactic properties, and how and why they have changed over time. Applicative constructions are typically described as transitivizing because they allow an intransitive base verb to have a direct object. The term originates from the seventeenth-century missionary grammars of Uto-Aztecan languages. Constructions designated as prepositional, benefactive, and instrumental may refer to the same or similar phenomena. Applicative constructions have been deployed in the development of a range of syntactic theories which have then often been used to explain their functions, usually within the context of Bantu languages. Dr Peterson provides a wealth of cross-linguistic information on discourse-functional, diachronic, and typological aspects of applicative constructions. He documents their unexpected synchronic variety and the diversity of diachronic sources about them. He argues that many standard assumptions about applicatives are unfounded, and provides a clear guide for future language-specific and cross-linguistic research and analysis.
