Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

Download or read book L impresa in crisi written by Alfonso Badini Confalonieri and published by G Giappichelli Editore. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume offre un quadro complessivo delle procedure proposte dal nostro ordinamento per la soluzione della crisi dell’impresa, ripercorrendo, con il contributo di magistrati, avvocati e commercialisti, le tappe del complesso iter compiuto dal legislatore nell’ultimo decennio e trattando, con profili interdisciplinari, le principali questioni dibattute in dottrina ed in giurisprudenza. In particolare, il volume tratta dei presupposti del concordato preventivo, dei suoi possibili contenuti e della procedura giudiziale di ammissione, argomenti sui quali si è maggiormente concentrata l’innovazione legislativa di questi ultimi anni e con essa una ricca produzione giurisprudenziale. Sono quindi sviluppati temi e istituti nuovi, quali il concordato con riserva, la continuità aziendale e il giudizio di fattibilità del tribunale. Non manca una ricostruzione sistematica degli accordi stragiudiziali nell’ambito della crisi d’impresa, anch’essi riformati con l’introduzione di strumenti tipici quali i piani attestati e gli accordi di ristrutturazione dei debiti. Viene dato spazio anche al trust, altro strumento negoziale, con la sua peculiare derivazione da ordinamenti esteri. Una specifica trattazione è dedicata alle varie attestazioni di veridicità, fattibilità e convenienza previste nel concordato preventivo, nei piani attestati e negli accordi di ristrutturazione, nonché ai principi nazionali e internazionali che devono essere osservati dall’esperto alle connesse sue responsabilità. Ancora, viene esaminata la transazione fiscale, sia nel concordato preventivo sia nell’accordo di ristrutturazione dei debiti, con particolare attenzione agli effetti della mancata accettazione della transazione stessa e alla vexata quaestio della sua rilevanza per un concordato con falcidia del credito erariale per Iva e ritenute. Infine, un esame dei profili penali, sia nella responsabilità dell’attestatore, sia nei reati di bancarotta semplice e preferenziale. L’insieme fornisce così, nell’ambito di una tematica sempre più attuale, il più aggiornato sforzo di esposizione sistematica di una tumultuosa evoluzione legislativa e giurisprudenziale, che ha propaggini significative ancora nel 2014.

Download or read book The Revolutionary Genius of Plants written by Stefano Mancuso and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this thought-provoking, handsomely illustrated book, Italian neurobiologist Stefano Mancuso considers the fundamental differences between plants and animals and challenges our assumptions about which is the ‘higher’ form of life.” —The Wall Street Journal “Fascinating…full of optimism…this quick, accessible read will appeal to anyone with interest in how plants continue to surprise us.” —Library Journal Do plants have intelligence? Do they have memory? Are they better problem solvers than people? The Revolutionary Genius of Plants—a fascinating, paradigm-shifting work that upends everything you thought you knew about plants—makes a compelling scientific case that these and other astonishing ideas are all true. Plants make up eighty percent of the weight of all living things on earth, and yet it is easy to forget that these innocuous, beautiful organisms are responsible for not only the air that lets us survive, but for many of our modern comforts: our medicine, food supply, even our fossil fuels. On the forefront of uncovering the essential truths about plants, world-renowned scientist Stefano Mancuso reveals the surprisingly sophisticated ability of plants to innovate, to remember, and to learn, offering us creative solutions to the most vexing technological and ecological problems that face us today. Despite not having brains or central nervous systems, plants perceive their surroundings with an even greater sensitivity than animals. They efficiently explore and react promptly to potentially damaging external events thanks to their cooperative, shared systems; without any central command centers, they are able to remember prior catastrophic events and to actively adapt to new ones. Every page of The Revolutionary Genius of Plants bubbles over with Stefano Mancuso’s infectious love for plants and for the eye-opening research that makes it more and more clear how remarkable our fellow inhabitants on this planet really are. In his hands, complicated science is wonderfully accessible, and he has loaded the book with gorgeous photographs that make for an unforgettable reading experience. The Revolutionary Genius of Plants opens the doors to a new understanding of life on earth.

Kissinger's intimate portraits of world leaders, many from personal experience, provide the reader with a unique insight into what really goes on -- and why -- behind the closed doors of the corridors of power. 'Budding diplomats and politicians should read it as avidly as their predecessors read Machiavelli' Douglas Hurd in the DAILY TELEGRAPH 'If you want to pay someone a compliment, give them Henry Kissinger's DIPLOMACY ... It is certainly one of the best, and most enjoyable [books] on international relations past and present ... DIPLOMACY should be read for the sheer historical sweep, the characterisations, the story-telling, the ability to look at large parts of the world as a whole' Malcolm Rutherford in the FINANCIAL TIMES

Download or read book Evidence Based Public Health written by Ross C. Brownson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are at least three ways in which a public health program or policy may not reach stated goals for success: 1) Choosing an intervention approach whose effectiveness is not established in the scientific literature; 2) Selecting a potentially effective program or policy yet achieving only weak, incomplete implementation or "reach," thereby failing to attain objectives; 3) Conducting an inadequate or incorrect evaluation that results in a lack of generalizable knowledge on the effectiveness of a program or policy; and 4) Paying inadequate attention to adapting an intervention to the population and context of interest To enhance evidence-based practice, this book addresses all four possibilities and attempts to provide practical guidance on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings. It also begins to address a fifth, overarching need for a highly trained public health workforce. This book deals not only with finding and using scientific evidence, but also with implementation and evaluation of interventions that generate new evidence on effectiveness. Because all these topics are broad and require multi-disciplinary skills and perspectives, each chapter covers the basic issues and provides multiple examples to illustrate important concepts. In addition, each chapter provides links to the diverse literature and selected websites for readers wanting more detailed information. An indispensable volume for professionals, students, and researchers in the public health sciences and preventative medicine, this new and updated edition of Evidence-Based Public Health aims to bridge research and evidence with policies and the practice of public health.
