This book was released on 2010 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La question des conditions de travail est généralement abordée, dans le discours commun, dans le cadre d'une analyse de leurs conséquences. Certaines dimensions des conditions de travail vont être mises au jour et dénoncées comme néfastes pour les salariés. L'ensemble des dimensions répertoriées évolue dans le temps et le poids de chacune d'entre elles, en termes de préoccupation, est variable. A certains moments, l'une va être mise en valeur plus qu'une autre. A travers le choix de ces dimensions, on voit apparaître des dimensions politiques et des phénomènes probablement induits par les changements s'opérant ailleurs dans la: société. Une amélioration des conditions de vie hors-travail peut avoir une incidence sur la définition des normes socialement acceptables en matière de charges lourdes, postures pénibles, déplacement jugés trop longs ou encore état des locaux. Des conditions de travail autrefois perçues comme naturelles peuvent devenir des objets de mécontentement, et donc faire l'objet de mesures, dès lors qu'elles sont objectivées, par une meilleure connaissance des liens entre certaines pathologies et les conditions de travail ou par des conflits sur la question. Plus d'information sur les produits toxiques engendre plus de réglementation les concernant.
Download or read book Techniques et politiques d am lioration des conditions de travail dans l entreprise written by Claude Piganiol and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1980-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De mauvaises conditions de travail détériorent l'équilibre physique et moral des salariés, coûtent cher à l'entreprise, sont préjudiciables à notre économie confrontée à une compétition internationale accrue. Les entreprises devront, à l'avenir, produire « autrement », sous la double pression des nécessités sociales et économiques. En matière d'amélioration des conditions de travail, il n'existe pas, malheureusement, de recette infaillible. Il faut bâtir une solution « sur mesure » – c'est-à-dire adaptée aux problèmes techniques et humains de chaque entreprise – et être bien convaincu qu'il y a toujours quelque chose à faire pour améliorer une situation particulière. C'est dans cette perspective, que Claude Piganiol a écrit ce livre. En effet, après plusieurs années d'expérimentation dans les entreprises en France et à l'Étranger, on peut faire le point aujourd'hui, et affirmer avec l'auteur que, malgré les contraintes de la technologie et des coûts, il existe toujours une solution à un problème de travail, à condition de connaître les techniques d'amélioration et de faire preuve de réalisme. La panoplie des changements possibles est très large. Elle permet de concevoir une stratégie sociale combinant quatre éléments essentiels : - un diagnostic réaliste de la situation ; - l'exploration de l'éventail des aménagements matériels possibles ; - les tactiques à adopter vis-à-vis des salariés ; - les tactiques à adopter vis-à-vis des syndicats. Les solutions pratiques que propose Claude Piganiol ne sont pas toutes nouvelles, mais elles présentent l'intérêt d'être rassemblées en un ensemble logique et clair, qui fait de ce livre la première synthèse écrite en langue française sur ce très important sujet. Cet ouvrage est un manuel complet, destiné aux responsables de production, aux responsables des services du personnel, aux membres des Commissions amélioration des conditions de travai, dont c'est la vocation d'humaniser le travail ainsi qu'aux étudiants.

Download or read book GeoHumanities written by Michael Dear and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade, there has been a convergence of transdisciplinary thought characterized by geography’s engagement with the humanities, and the humanities’ integration of place and the tools of geography into its studies. GeoHumanities maps this emerging intellectual terrain with thirty cutting edge contributions from internationally renowned scholars, architects, artists, activists, and scientists. This book explores the humanities’ rapidly expanding engagement with geography, and the multi-methodological inquiries that analyze the meanings of place, and then reconstructs those meanings to provoke new knowledge as well as the possibility of altered political practices. It is no coincidence that the geohumanities are forcefully emerging at a time of immense intellectual and social change. This book focuses on a range of topics to address urgent contemporary imperatives, such as the link between creativity and place; altered practices of spatial literacy; the increasing complexity of visual representation in art, culture, and science and the ubiquitous presence of geospatial technologies in the Information Age. GeoHumanties is essential reading for students wishing to understand the intellectual trends and forces driving scholarship and research at the intersections of geography and the humanities disciplines. These trends hold far-reaching implications for future work in these disciplines, and for understanding the changes gripping our societies and our globalizing world.

Download or read book Human Performance in Planning and Scheduling written by B L MacCarthy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding how to make the best of human skills and knowledge is essential in the design of technology and jobs, particularly where these involve decision-making and uncertainty. Recent developments have been made in naturalistic decision-making, distributed cognition and situational awareness, particularly with respect to aviation, transport and strategic planning, the nuclear industry and other high-risk industries. Despite the integration of computer-based support systems in production scheduling in recent years, the reality is that most enterprises consist of reactive re-scheduling, involving a high degree of human involvement. It is often with the insight, knowledge and skills of people that scheduling skills can function with any degree of success. Human Performance in Planning and Scheduling covers many industries, including clothing, steel, machine tools, paper/board, and the automobile industry. Using international case studies from various manufacturing industries, they highlight the fact that the human scheduler is a pivotal element in the scheduling process. Each section of the book includes an introduction with an overview of the material to follow, clearly identifying themes, discussion points and highlights inter-connections between the authors' work.

Download or read book Why Muslim Integration Fails in Christian Heritage Societies written by Claire L. Adida and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid mounting fears of violent Islamic extremism, many Europeans ask whether Muslim immigrants can integrate into historically Christian countries. In a groundbreaking ethnographic investigation of France’s Muslim migrant population, Why Muslim Integration Fails in Christian-Heritage Societies explores this complex question. The authors conclude that both Muslim and non-Muslim French must share responsibility for the slow progress of Muslim integration. “Using a variety of resources, research methods, and an innovative experimental design, the authors contend that while there is no doubt that prejudice and discrimination against Muslims exist, it is also true that some Muslim actions and cultural traits may, at times, complicate their full integration into their chosen domiciles. This book is timely (more so in the context of the current Syrian refugee crisis), its insights keen and astute, the empirical evidence meticulous and persuasive, and the policy recommendations reasonable and relevant.” —A.

Download or read book Workers Participation in Post liberation France written by Adam Steinhouse and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workers' Participation in Post-Liberation France is a vivid portrait of French labor's failure to achieve greater industrial democracy. Drawing on original archival research, Adam Steinhouse recasts the traditional view of this critical period of French history, demonstrating the fundamental importance of the immediate post-liberation period in determining the future course of industrial relations in France. He brings to life the labor disputes of the 1940s, charting the interplay between industry and politicians that dealt a crushing blow to organized labor's demands for political change. Steinhouse captures the rise of state intervention in the economy and plots the growth of French employers' organized intransigence in the face of workers' collective action; which culminated in a series of actions effectively marginalizing labor's voice in the economic boom of the early 1950s. Steinhouse's impressive scholarship provides an excellent case study of the French state and its efforts to balance growing worker demands for representation with the imperatives of social peace and prosperity. This book makes a significant contribution to modern French political history and the development of modern industrial relations.
Download or read book Causes and Consequences of Income Inequality written by Ms.Era Dabla-Norris and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the extent of income inequality from a global perspective, its drivers, and what to do about it. The drivers of inequality vary widely amongst countries, with some common drivers being the skill premium associated with technical change and globalization, weakening protection for labor, and lack of financial inclusion in developing countries. We find that increasing the income share of the poor and the middle class actually increases growth while a rising income share of the top 20 percent results in lower growth—that is, when the rich get richer, benefits do not trickle down. This suggests that policies need to be country specific but should focus on raising the income share of the poor, and ensuring there is no hollowing out of the middle class. To tackle inequality, financial inclusion is imperative in emerging and developing countries while in advanced economies, policies should focus on raising human capital and skills and making tax systems more progressive.

Are Russian propaganda or "Fake news" entrepreneurs on Facebook undermining our sense of a shared reality? A conventional wisdom has emerged since the election of Donald Trump in 2016 that new technologies and their manipulation by foreign actors played a decisive role in his victory and are responsible for the sense of a "post-truth" moment in which disinformation and propaganda thrives. Network Propaganda challenges that received wisdom through the most comprehensive study yet published on media coverage of American presidential politics from the start of the election cycle in April 2015 to the one year anniversary of the Trump presidency. Analysing millions of news stories together with Twitter and Facebook shares, broadcast television and YouTube, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the architecture of contemporary American political communications. Through data analysis and detailed qualitative case studies of coverage of immigration, Clinton scandals, and the Trump Russia investigation, the book finds that the right-wing media ecosystem operates fundamentally differently than the rest of the media environment. The authors argue that longstanding institutional, political, and cultural patterns in American politics interacted with technological change since the 1970s to create a propaganda feedback loop in American conservative media. This dynamic has marginalized centre-right media and politicians, radicalized the right wing ecosystem, and rendered it susceptible to propaganda efforts, foreign and domestic. For readers outside the United States, the book offers a new perspective and methods for diagnosing the sources of, and potential solutions for, the perceived global crisis of democratic politics.
Download or read book Handbook of Land and Water Grabs in Africa written by John Anthony Allan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to estimates by the International Land Coalition based at the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), 57 million hectares of land have been leased to foreign investors since 2007. Current research has focused on human rights issues related to inward investment in land but has been ignorant of water resource issues and the challenges of managing scarce water. This handbook will be the first to address inward investment in land and its impact on water resources in Africa. The geographical scope of this book will be the African continent, where land has attracted the attention of risk-taking investors because much land is under-utilised marginalized land, with associated water resources and rapidly growing domestic food markets. The successful implementation of investment strategies in African agriculture could determine the future of more than one billion people. An important factor to note is that Sub-Saharan Africa will, of all the continents, be hit hardest by climate change, population growth and food insecurity. Sensible investment in agriculture is therefore needed, however, at what costs and at whose expense? The book will also address the livelihoods theme and provide a holistic analysis of land and water grabbing in Sub-Saharan Africa. Four other themes will addressed: politics, economics, environment and the history of land investments in Sub-Saharan Africa. The editors have involved a highly diverse group of around 25 expert researchers, who will review the pro and anti-investment arguments, geopolitics, the role of capitalist investors, the environmental contexts and the political implications of, and reasons for, leasing millions of hectares in Sub-Saharan Africa. To date, there has been no attempt to review land investments through a suite of different lenses, thus this handbook will differ significantly from existing research and publication. The editors are Tony Allan, (Professor Emeritus, Department of Geography, School of Oriental and African Studies and King’s College London); Jeroen Warner (Assistant Professor, Disaster Studies, University of Wageningen); Suvi Sojamo (PhD Researcher, Water and Development Research Group, Aalto University); and Martin Keulertz (PhD Researcher, Department of Geography, London Water Group, King’s College London).
