Forest

nidottu
This unique collection of unembellished poems, the fourth book by veteran author, journalist, columnist and radio presenter Kim Heung-sook, invites the reader into a realm of nature and self-reflection. Inspired by a forest in which the author regularly spent time away from the cacophony of the rest of the world, the 81 poems in this collection are largely confined to just five or six short concise, yet thought-provoking, lines. To use the author's own analogy: if poems are temples of words (as explicitly suggested by the Chinese character for poetry), these are temples of the simplest kind, with little more than a single tree and a fountain to their name. Another unique aspect of Forest is the fact that the author, who spent much of her career in English-language media in Korea, wrote both the Korean and English versions of each poem, rather than relying on a separate translator. Reflecting on nature, weather, the seasons, aging, love, travel, longing and more, the poems are divided into three categories: "Forest,""Road" and "Home."As well as being a collection of poems in its own right, Kim says, Forest is a call to other potential poets--in other words, everyone--to embrace the genre.

Fiscal Policy in Dynamic Economies

Fiscal Policy in Dynamic Economies

Kim Heng Tan

Routledge
2016
sidottu
The role of fiscal policy in short-run macroeconomic stabilization is, by now, well known in the academic literature and in policy circles. However, this focus on the short-run, especially in a democracy, means that much less attention has been paid to the other consequences of the use of fiscal policy. By studying the intergenerational-welfare aspects of fiscal policy, this book deals with some fundamental issues of fiscal policy. Why does public debt tend to rise over time in democracies? Why is there a tendency for government spending on consumption and on social security to grow? Why do governments fail to invest in public capital adequately? Should a dollar transferred from the young be treated as a dollar transferred to the old? By studying the international aspects of fiscal policy, the book establishes international differences in fiscal policy as determinants of persistent trade imbalances and international indebtedness. It also considers some basic questions on international transfers and austerity in open economies. What criteria should be used to define a successful foreign-aid programme? Why is foreign aid likely to fail in a world of global wealth disparity? Can reliance be placed on the international coordination of austerity to improve welfare in the long run? Is austerity accompanied by international transfers superior to austerity unaccompanied by international transfers?This book based on the OLG model fills a gap on fiscal-policy issues in the recent spate of books on overlapping generations.

Based on the popular SEOUL Magazine column ""Ask a Korean Dude,"" this work is an updated compilation of the Dude's wisdom and a glimpse into the inner psyches of the Korean populace, as well as a venue for sharing laughs and understanding. It is a tool by which you, the foreigner, may come to not only understand the distinctly curious aspects of Korea, but also appreciate the deeply running veins of traditional and modern culture interlaced into this complex--but actually rather simple--society.

I novellantologin Kambodja berättar får vi möta ett land och en litteratur som präglats av en dramatisk nutidshistoria fylld av våld och korruption. Författarna kämpar mot censuren såväl som mot en fond av historielöshet; under Pol Pot-regimen tillintetgjordes inte bara författarna, utan även deras verk. Skrivandets hantverk är av den anledningen emellanåt trevande, stapplande, nyfött men också utforskande och uppfinningsrikt. Landets i praktiken svaga yttrandefrihet avspeglas i förkärleken för allegori och symbolik. Utslagning och fattigdom skildras genom en strykarkatts ögon, och utförsäljningen av naturtillgångar symboliseras av den båt som en fiskarfamilj luras att sälja. Det här urvalet noveller, översatta till svenska direkt från khmer, är en initierad introduktion till en litteratur som sällan tidigare översatts till svenska. Om Tranans berättarserie Bokförlaget Tranan har gett ut mer än 20 titlar i sin berättarserien. Böckerna är novellantologier från länder runtom i världen. Urvalet görs av människor med inblick i ländernas kultur och litteratur och varje utgåva innehåller ett initierat förord. Seriens syfte är att sätta fokus på de olika ländernas litteratur och samtidigt lyfta fram novellkonsten i sig. Antologierna är perfekta introduktioner för alla som vill bredda sina läsupplevelser.

Public Investment Management Reference Guide

Public Investment Management Reference Guide

nidottu
The Public Investment Management (PIM) Reference Guide aims to convey country experiences and good international practices as a basis for decisions on how to address a country-specific PIM reform agenda. The country references are drawn largely from previous diagnostics and technical assistance reports of the World Bank.The application of country diagnostics and assessments has revealed a need to address the following issues when undertaking a country reform in PIM:• Clarification of the definition and scope of public investment and public investment management• Establishment of a sound legal, regulatory, and institutional setting for PIM, making sure it is linked to the budget process• Allocation of roles and responsibilities for key players in PIM across government• Strengthening of guidance on project preappraisal, appraisal, and selection-prioritization procedures and deepening of project appraisal methodologies• Integration of strategic planning, project appraisal-selection, and capital budgeting• Management of multiyear capital budget allocations and commitments• Efforts to address effective implementation, procurement, and monitoring of projects• Strengthening of asset management and ex post evaluation• Integration of PIM and public-private partnership (PPP) in a unified framework• Rationalization and prioritization of the existing PIM project portfolio• Development of a PIM database and information technology in the form of a PIM information system.The PIM Reference Guide does not seek to provide definitive answers or standard guidance for the common PIM issues facing countries. Nor does it seek to provide a detailed template for replication across countries: this would be impossible given the diversity of country situations. Instead, each chapter begins with an overview of the specific reform issue, lists approaches and experiences from different countries, and summarizes the references and good practices to be considered in designing country-specific reform actions.

This new edition addresses contemporary issues that organizations face today. Human Resource Management in Sport and Recreation, Fourth Edition, offers a solid foundation in research and application, and it provides a holistic perspective of human resource management by bringing together the three groups of people who constitute human resources across sport and recreation organizations: paid professionals, volunteers, and the clients themselves.Dr. Packianathan Chelladurai, a pioneer in the field of sport management, is joined by Dr. Amy Chan Hyung Kim to lend expertise gained from more than four decades of teaching human resource management. They guide students through four parts, starting with an outline of the common characteristics of the three groups of people that make up human resources. Part II focuses on individual differences among people and how those differences affect behavior within organizations. In part III, students will explore organizational processes, and part IV discusses two significant outcomes expected of human resource practices: satisfaction and commitment. The conclusion uses 10 guiding themes to bring all the concepts together with an eye toward the future of the field.Updated to address current topics such as social issues and diversity, the fourth edition reflects the increasing complexity of human resource management across the field of recreation and sport. Modern issues and their real-world implications are represented throughout the text with recurring sidebars.Diversity Management of Human Resources: offer insights into how and when to promote and manage diversityCrisis Management: address the role of human resource management during emergency situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemicSocial Phenomena and Human Resource Management: assess the impact of major social events or movementsLegal Considerations in Human Resource Management: focus on legal matters in the fieldFrom the Field: provide professional insights from leading practitioners across a variety of sport contextsCase studies, discussion questions, and activities provide further opportunity for students to understand relevant research with real-world application of concepts.With clear explanations of concepts and current practices in human resources across the sport and recreation industries, Human Resource Management in Sport and Recreation, Fourth Edition, is a valuable resource for future and current practitioners alike.

Introduction and Applications of Machine Learning in Geotechnics offers a comprehensive exploration of machine learning methodologies and their diverse applications in geotechnical engineering. The book begins with a detailed review of machine learning methods tailored for geotechnical applications, setting the foundation for subsequent chapters. Regression models are utilized to predict shear wave velocities, while optimization-based approaches are employed to determine the optimal dimensions of reinforced concrete (RC) retaining walls. The book further explores the identification of gravelly soil through optimized machine learning models and predicts stress-strain responses using data from simple shear tests. Additionally, it outlines the forecasting of liquefaction events triggered by seismic activities and estimates the uniaxial compressive strength of soil using machine learning techniques. The prediction of vertical effective stress and specific penetration resistance is examined to enhance soil characterization and geotechnical analyses. The authors provide valuable insights for geotechnical engineers and researchers seeking to leverage advanced computational tools for enhanced geotechnical assessments and design processes.

In 1903, 102 Koreans migrated to Hawai'i in search of wealth and fortune - the first in their country's history to live in the Western world. Thousands followed. Most of them, however, found only hardship while working as sugar plantation laborers. Soon after their departure, Korea was colonized by Japan, and overnight they became ""international orphans"" with no government to protect them. Setting aside their original goal of bettering their own lives, these Korean immigrants redirected their energies to restoring their country's sovereignty, turning Hawai'i into a crucially important base of Korean nationalism. ""From the Land of Hibiscus"" traces the story of Koreans in Hawai'i from their first arrival to the eve of Korea's liberation in 1945. Using newly uncovered evidence, it challenges previously held ideas on the social origins of immigrants. It also examines their political background, the role of Christian churches in immigration, the image of Koreans as depicted in the media, and, above all, nationalist activities. Different approaches to waging the nationalist struggle uncover the causes of feuds that often bitterly divided the Korean community. Finally, the book provides the first in-depth studies of the nationalist activities of Syngman Rhee, the Korean National Association, and the United Korea Committee.

The Power of Public Investment Management

Public resources - if invested well in public infrastructure and services - can catalyze private and community efforts and unleash an inclusive growth and development process. But public investment attracts political interest, usually of the kind that undermines efficiency. Too often public projects are poorly designed, under-funded, long-delayed, or badly implemented, with little benefit to the population. This is a critical challenge for many countries, both rich and poor. Paradoxically, some countries are even unable to spend their limited investment budgets while others lack “shovel ready” projects for a fiscal stimulus. The quality of institutions is fundamental. This book identifies eight key institutional features that countries need to adopt to ensure that public investments support growth and development. Very broadly, the eight stages correspond to a disciplined system for guiding, appraising, reviewing and selecting projects that are most likely to stimulate inclusive development, and following through to ensure that they are implemented, adjusted, operated and evaluated to deliver the public services that citizens and the private sector expect. A review of over 30 countries suggests that these eight features are present in all countries that manage resources efficiently but most countries are missing key features. Not surprisingly, those weaknesses contribute to poor investment and development outcomes. Strengthening institutions for public investment management is critical to developmental success.This book provides a clear, non-technical discussion on approaches to improving project appraisal, dealing with uncertainty (an issue that is likely to grow in importance with the effects of climate change), integrating procurement skills into project design and implementation, and of managing the decision on public private partnerships. By providing a simple but comprehensive framework and global experience, the book provides policy makers the guidance to adopt good functional principles in the design of institutions to strengthen public investment management.

South Korea's triumphant development has catapulted the country's economy to the eleventh largest in the world. Large family-owned conglomerates, or chaebols, such as Samsung, Hyundai, and LG, have become globally preeminent manufacturing brands. Yet Korea's highly disciplined, technologically competent skilled workers who built these brands have become known only for their successful labor-union militancy, which in recent decades has been criticized as collective "selfishness" that has allowed them to prosper at the expense of other workers.Hyung-A Kim tells the story of Korea's first generation of skilled workers in the heavy and chemical industries sector, following their dramatic transition from 1970s-era "industrial warriors" to labor-union militant "Goliat Warriors," and ultimately to a "labor aristocracy" with guaranteed job security, superior wages, and even job inheritance for their children. By contrast, millions of Korea's non-regular employees, especially young people, struggle in precarious and insecure employment.This richly documented account demonstrates that industrial workers' most enduring goal has been their own economic advancement, not a wider socialist revolution, and shows how these individuals' paths embody the consequences of rapid development.

2003

Based on personal interviews with the principal policy-makers of the 1970s, Korea's Development under Park Chung-Hee examines how the president sought to develop South Korea into an independent, autonomous sovereign state both economically and militarily. Kim provides a new narrative in the complex task of exploring the paradoxical nature and effects of Korea's rapid development which maintains that any judgement of Park must consider his achievements in the socio-economic, cultural and political context in which they took place. Aspects of Park's government analyzed include:*his abhorrence of Korea's reliance on the US presence*the Korean model of state-guided industrialization*Park's rapid development strategy *the role of the ruling elites*Park's clandestine nuclear development program*the heavy chemical industrialisation of the 1970sThe prevailing popularity of Park in the eyes of the Korean public is significant and relevant to their acceptance of how their national development was achieved. This book tells that story while simultaneously recognizing the flaws in the process. With a great deal of material never before published, scholars of Korean politics and history at all levels will find this book a stimulating account of South Korea in the 1960s and 1970s.
