Download or read book Women in Construction written by Patience Tunji-Olayeni and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book aims to provide a collection of scientific evidence on gender issues in the construction industry that contributes to discussions on equality, gender diversity, and inclusion in the built environment; it also provides baseline data for policy design and future research on women in the built environment. Presenting research findings from Africa, India, and Australia, the aims of this book are broad and it begins with an assessment of the gender-based challenges in the construction sector from the perspective of two generations of women. It goes on to discuss the issues affecting the recruitment and career progression of women in construction and also to proffer solutions to the low turnout of women in the construction industry. Further chapters cover issues on the retention and persistence of women in the sector despite the perceived gender-rooted challenges. Research into female leadership in the construction industry is also presented in this book with specific focus on the management of construction sites, quantity surveying practice, and digital leadership. This book ends with a discussion on the impact of gender consideration on the sustainability of construction businesses, accessibility of housing finance, and infrastructure provisions such as markets. The research in this book is key reading for scholars of construction management, gender studies, and DEI and the workplace.
Download or read book Benjamin Banneker written by Charles A. Cerami and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2008-04-21 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first biography of a major figure in early US and African American history A household name and unparalleled hero revered in every African American household, Benjamin Banneker was a completely self-taught mathematical genius who achieved professional status in astronomy, navigation, and engineering. His acknowledged expertise and superior surveying skills led to his role as coworker with the Founding Fathers in planning our nation’s capitol, Washington, DC. His annual Banneker’s Almanac was the first written by a black and outsold the major competition. In addition, he was a vocal force in the fight for the abolition of slavery. Yet, despite his accomplishments, there has been no biography of this important man—until now. Written by an author with strong ties across the Washington-Maryland-Virginia area where abolitionist societies revered Banneker, this long overdue biography at last gives the hard-earned attention this prominent hero and his accomplishments deserve.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship in the BRICS written by Ndivhuho Tshikovhi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-14 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrepreneurship is a tool of innovation promotion that supports sound economic environments as it stimulates economic growth and development. The BRICS nations, i.e., Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, are a group of emerging countries comprising the highest developmental block of the emerging nations. It is imperative to assess the entrepreneurship policies, strategies, and promotional programmes and their implications for, among others, entrepreneurship funding, economic growth, and employment trends. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entrepreneurship environment and equally steered state funding priorities away from entrepreneurship development support worldwide. This research book assesses the effect that COVID-19 has had on government funding priority, policy interventions and resultant implications on the entrepreneurship environment, economic growth and employment with a focus on BRICS. Readers will gain insight into what entrepreneurship looks like in the BRICS context and how it has been affected by COVID-19, indicating how the BRICS nations are likely to move forward to further strengthen entrepreneurship. This edited volume will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and advanced students in the fields of entrepreneurship, innovation, strategy, international relations, multilateralism, and economic development.
Download or read book Mixed Mode Official Surveys written by Barry Schouten and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed-mode surveys have become a standard at many statistical institutes. However, the introduction of multiple modes in one design goes with challenges to both methodology and logistics. Mode-specific representation and measurement differences become explicit and demand for solutions in data collection design, questionnaire design, and estimation. This is especially true when surveys are repeated and are input to long time series of official statistics. So how can statistical institutes deal with such changes? What are the origins of mode-specific error? And how can they be dealt with? In this book, the authors provide answers to these questions, and much more. Features Concise introduction to all the key elements of mixed-mode survey design and analysis Realistic official statistics examples from three general population surveys Suitable for survey managers and survey statisticians alike An overview of mode-specific representation and measurement errors and how to avoid, reduce and adjust them.
Download or read book Digital China Metaverses For Business written by Ashley Dudarenok and published by Alarice International Limited. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the hype surrounding the metaverse has waned, its importance from a tech perspective hasn’t. This book will help all those who have wondered what a metaverse is, what it’s for, how much it’s worth, which companies are creating it, which countries are ahead of the game and how businesses are using metaverses and Web3. This book is for brands that want to understand the next iteration of the internet, how to use it now and in the future to connect with customers and how to future proof your business. There are different perceptions of and approaches to the metaverse and Web3 in different countries. This book helps you to understand those differences and the impact they may have on your company. QUOTES FROM THE BOOK “The metaverse is the next iteration of the internet we have been building for the last 40 years but in a 3D realm, vs. the text, picture and video web we have today. When it arrives in the next 5-10 years, it will encompass all facets of our lives from school to work to play and everything in between. And from now to then, there will be many rocky roads as the world and China figure out how to actually build such a solution and all the rules needed to properly operate it.” -- Alvin Wang Graylin, China President & Global VP of Corporate Development at HTC “Some people believe there should be “one” metaverse where many virtual worlds exist inside that one mega-metaverse. But this is the most idealized version of how society or the internet operates. Judging by what tech companies are doing at this early stage, it’s clear that they want to keep their walled gardens up for as long as they can.” -- Nina Xiang, Author of Parallel Metaverses “New revenue streams and business models present a whole new level of possibility for brands to reach their customers and fans. It’s not just about monetary conversions. It’s another touchpoint and becomes a layer of experiential, reimagined and immersive experience to further enhance a brand’s story. Co-creation and community activation will play a significant role in delivering to the community.” -- Olivia Lee, Founder of Livvium, Web3 Strategist and Digital Fashion Collector

Download or read book Conservation Design for Subdivisions written by Randall G. Arendt and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most communities, land use regulations are based on a limited model that allows for only one end result: the production of more and more suburbia, composed of endless subdivisions and shopping centers, that ultimately covers every bit of countryside with "improvements." Fortunately, sensible alternatives to this approach do exist, and methods of developing land while at the same time conserving natural areas are available. In Conservation Design for Subdivisions, Randall G. Arendt explores better ways of designing new residential developments than we have typically seen in our communities. He presents a practical handbook for residential developers, site designers, local officials, and landowners that explains how to implement new ideas about land-use planning and environmental protection. Abundantly illustrated with site plans (many of them in color), floor plans, photographs, and renditions of houses and landscapes, it describes a series of simple and straightforward techniques that allows for land-conserving development. The author proposes a step-by-step approach to conserving natural areas by rearranging density on each development parcel as it is being planned so that only half (or less) of the buildable land is turned into houselots and streets. Homes are built in a less land-consumptive manner that allows the balance of property to be permanently protected and added to an interconnected network of green spaces and green corridors. Included in the volume are model zoning and subdivision ordinance provisions that can help citizens and local officials implement these innovative design ideas.
