sidottu
The authors examine developments in labor standards in global supply chains over the past thirty years, analyzing factors that create challenges and opportunities for improving working conditions. They illustrate the complex dynamics within and among key groups, including brands, suppliers, governments, workers and consumers.Using extended examples from China, Honduras, Bangladesh and the United States, as well as new quantitative evidence, the authors analyze stakeholders and mechanisms that create or obstruct opportunities for improving labor rights. They evaluate key clusters of actors and their interests in order to comprehensively map the complex interactions and relationships that make up global supply chains. Original data and analyses, including four in-depth case studies, present a systematic evaluation of the points of leverage for changing labor standards in sectors including apparel, footwear, and electronics.This exciting new contribution to a burgeoning field of study will benefit scholars of labor rights and human rights, as well as students with an interest in labor and working conditions. It also presents critical information for political scientists, NGOs, and practitioners looking to effect change in working conditions and learn more about key players in the global economy.

Life After Welfare

A Choice Outstanding Academic BookIn the decade since President Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 into law-amidst promises that it would "end welfare as we know it"-did the reforms ending entitlements and moving toward time limits and work requirements lift Texas families once living on welfare out of poverty, or merely strike their names from the administrative rolls?Under welfare reform, Texas continued with low monthly payments and demanding eligibility criteria. Many families who could receive welfare in other states do not qualify in Texas, and virtually any part-time job makes a family ineligible. In Texas, most families who leave welfare remain in or near poverty, and many are likely to return to the welfare rolls in the future.This compelling work, which follows 179 families after leaving welfare, is set against a backdrop of multiple types of data and econometric modeling. The authors' multi-method approach draws on administrative data from nine programs serving low-income families and a statewide survey of families who have left welfare. Survey data on health problems, transportation needs, and child-care issues shed light on the patterns of employment and welfare use seen in the administrative data. In their lives after welfare, the families chronicled here experience poverty even when employed; a multiplicity of barriers to employment that work to exacerbate one another; and a failing safety net of basic human services as they attempt to sustain low-wage employment.

Data Architecture: A Primer for the Data Scientist

Over the past 5 years, the concept of big data has matured, data science has grown exponentially, and data architecture has become a standard part of organizational decision-making. Throughout all this change, the basic principles that shape the architecture of data have remained the same. There remains a need for people to take a look at the "bigger picture" and to understand where their data fit into the grand scheme of things. Data Architecture: A Primer for the Data Scientist, Second Edition addresses the larger architectural picture of how big data fits within the existing information infrastructure or data warehousing systems. This is an essential topic not only for data scientists, analysts, and managers but also for researchers and engineers who increasingly need to deal with large and complex sets of data. Until data are gathered and can be placed into an existing framework or architecture, they cannot be used to their full potential. Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous examples and case studies from across various industries, the authors seek to explain this larger picture into which big data fits, giving data scientists the necessary context for how pieces of the puzzle should fit together.

I samspelet mellan människa, funktionsnedsättning och omgivning interagerar biologiska, psykologiska och sociala faktorer. Detta kan beskrivas som en växelverkan mellan kroppens funktioner och konstitution, en individs uppfattning, beteende och identitet samt människors relationer på individ-, grupp- och samhällsnivå.I Leva som andra utgår författarna från forskning för att ge ett biopsykosocialt perspektiv på funktionsnedsättning och funktionshinder. Boken inleds med en intervju där en person skildrar hur det är att leva med flera funktionsnedsättningar och därefter följer fyra huvuddelar. • I första delen beskrivs grunderna för de forskningsfält som samspelar och hur dessa teoretiskt kan integreras och studeras: biologisk nivå om kroppsliga funktioner, psykologisk nivå om psykologiska funktioner och social nivå om exempelvis de maktstrukturer som finns i samhället.• I del två behandlas den vertikala dimensionen där den biologiska, psykologiska och sociala nivån undersöks för att förstå hur dessa samspelar för uppkomsten av ett visst funktionshinder.• Del tre handlar om en horisontell dimension där utgångspunkten är en mekanism eller ett begrepp, exempelvis arbetsminne, som beskrivs och jämförs mellan minst två olika funktionsnedsättningar. • Den avslutande delen behandlar funktionshinder och funktionsnedsättningar ur ett historiskt samt samhälleligt perspektiv och vilka framtida utmaningar vi står inför.Leva som andra vänder sig främst till studenter och yrkesverksamma inom områden som berör funktionsnedsättning och funktionshinder. Boken kan även läsas av andra som i familjen, skolan eller det dagliga livet kommer i kontakt med personer med funktionsnedsättning eller som intresserar sig för frågor som rör funktionsnedsättning och funktionshinder.
Primo Levi: No to Forgetting

"Never forget that this has happened/Remember these words." Primo Levi's goal was to never let people forget the rise of Fascism and the Holocaust--so that it would never happen again. No to Forgetting is a new addition to the "They Said No" series, and the only book about Primo Levi for readers age 12 and up. The Italian chemist and resistance fighter Primo Levi emerged from the hell of the Auschwitz concentration camp at the age of 25. As a testament to survival, he wrote what have become some of the most wrenching yet life-affirming books ever written about the Holocaust experience. Levi, who died in 1987, devoted his life to maintaining our collective memory of the Holocaust-insisting that we acknowledge and remember what happened. For future generations to never forget. In the 1980s, Primo Levi met a young Italian boy, 11-year-old Vittorio. Vittorio is upset with his grandfather for refusing to explain his past experiences in the Holocaust. Because anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial ebbs and flows but never goes away, Levi understands that our memory of the Holocaust must be continually maintained, so he decides to help the boy uncover the buried secret. Primo and Vittorio's relationship is a jumping off point to tell the story of the life of one of history's greatest witnesses.
Shanell, also known as Lil' Mama, was born and raised in South Central L.A. She was a small, petite, beautiful young lady, who grew up in a family full of gangstas. Her parents, Sandy and Davy Bone, were two original gangstas who gave her the world. They tried to shield her from that life, and were successful, until Lil' Mama's dad had to go to prison, forcing her to deal with her life alone. Lil' Mama falls in love with Lynwood aka "Lil' Bone", who is truly a forbidden love. Their families grew up around each other, so the history that she and Lil' Bone share eventually causes them to fall in love. They sneak around to be together until her dad is released from jail, but after a few tragic events, Lynwood goes to jail, leaving Lil' Mama alone, again. Will the prison walls cause their love to end? Snake, is well known and respected in the hood. He's old enough to be her dad with more money from drug sales than she was used to. He's ruthless and always carry his nine. When Snake and Lil' Mama have their first date, things started out good. That is, until a carjacking changes everything. Will their love withstand the drama and devastation? Ghost, a Cuban with a long ponytail and green eyes, walked into Lil' Mama's life. Ghost is absolutely gorgeous, unlike any gangsta she knew or been around. The problem was that he was from a hood most hated, the Hoova's. Never dating outside her race or outside her hood before, she is apprehensive about being with him, but he is so good to her. Will Ghost change Lil' Mama's life forever or will she stay devoted to her hood? With a bunch of unforeseen circumstances, a shooting, a rape, a funeral, a pregnancy, and domestic violence, Lil' Mama realizes that living with gangstas is a hard thing to do, but lovin' them would be even harder

‘Atlas of Ceramic Fabrics 2. Italy: Southern Tyrrhenian. Neolithic – Bronze Age’ presents and interprets the petrographic composition of pre-protohistoric pottery (6th-1st millennia BCE) found in southwestern part of Italy. This is the second in a Atlas series organised according to geographical areas, chronology and types of wares. In this book 890 samples from 29 sites are discussed, encompassing results of more than 50 years of interdisciplinary archaeological, technological and archaeometric research by the authors’ team. Ninety petrographic fabrics (the potters’ ‘recipes’) are defined and presented based on their lithological character – a tool that can be used to compare different components of the ceramic pastes and to check possible provenance of non-local pots. The volume is organized in chapters focused on methodology, fabric description and distribution, followed by the archaeological implications and the database, with contribution by Andrea Di Renzoni (CNR-ISMA, Roma). Illustrations and descriptions of the fabrics and a list of samples provide a rigorous and transparent presentation of the data. The archaeological implications are discussed through cross-correlatios between origin and technology, variability, standardisation, chronology, function, social organization, circulation, style, typology and cultural identity. We hope that this work will be considered an another stepping-stone in demonstrating that technological variability is as important as stylistic distinctions.
