This publication presents theoretical information, methods and resources for education and training activities, along with concrete exercises that users can put into practice in their daily work. Violence is a serious issue which directly affects the lives of many young people. It often results in lasting damage to their well-being and integrity, putting even their lives at risk. Gender-based violence, including violence against women, remains a key human rights challenge in contemporary Europe and in the world. Working with young people on human rights education is one way of preventing gender-based violence from occurring. By raising awareness on why and how it manifests and exploring its impact on people and in society, gender-based violence will no longer go undetected. Gender really does matter, to women, to men, to young people - to all of us. This manual serves to explore these human rights issues and act upon them."--Book jacket.

Download or read book Lifestyle Migration written by Michaela Benson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relatively affluent individuals from various corners of the globe are increasingly choosing to migrate, spurred on by the promise of a better and more fulfilling way of life within their destination. Despite its increasing scale, migration academics have yet to consolidate and establish lifestyle migration as a subfield of theoretical enquiry, until now. This volume offers a dynamic and holistic analysis of contemporary lifestyle migrations, exploring the expectations and aspirations which inform and drive migration alongside the realities of life within the destination. It also recognizes the structural conditions (and constraints) which frame lifestyle migration, laying the groundwork for further intellectual enquiry. Through rich empirical case studies this volume addresses this important and increasingly common form of migration in a manner that will interest scholars of mobility, migration, lifestyle and culture across the social sciences.

Download or read book Biowarfare in America written by Jim Keith and published by Illuminet Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The era of chemical and biological megadeath is upon us, and the potential of deadly biowarfare attacks from governments, militant independent groups, and even individuals is far greater than it has been at any time in the past. At this time, more than twenty-five countries are developing, or have stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, in many cases in sufficient quantities to wipe out the entire population of the world. So far the danger of chemical and biological aggression has been little acknowledged, and, at least in America, little prepared for by federal and local government. Most terrorist threats and attacks are not widely reported in the mainstream media. Although information about the proliferation of man-made diseases is carefully suppressed by governments and the media they will be covered in the pages of this book. Not only is America unprepared and ignorant of what is happening, but the people in government and scientific professions who do know, who should be warning the American public about the dangers of chemical and biological terrorism, are instead doing their utmost to hide this information from us; information that is vital for our survival.The information that is contained in the pages of this book will not be measured or calculated to reassure people that everything is fine, when reassurance is the exact opposite of what is needed at this time. It may even give you nightmares when you realise the real circumstance that we are in. The information in the pages that follow will be the truth about the biowarfare threat to America.

Download or read book Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research written by Aditya Johri and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 1124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research is the critical reference source for the growing field of engineering education research, featuring the work of world luminaries writing to define and inform this emerging field. The Handbook draws extensively on contemporary research in the learning sciences, examining how technology affects learners and learning environments, and the role of social context in learning. Since a landmark issue of the Journal of Engineering Education (2005), in which senior scholars argued for a stronger theoretical and empirically driven agenda, engineering education has quickly emerged as a research-driven field increasing in both theoretical and empirical work drawing on many social science disciplines, disciplinary engineering knowledge, and computing. The Handbook is based on the research agenda from a series of interdisciplinary colloquia funded by the US National Science Foundation and published in the Journal of Engineering Education in October 2006.

Download or read book Revisiting Moroccan Migrations written by Mohammed Berriane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world’s major emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social, cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially divide the world into ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ countries and largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration in countries in the Global South. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.

Download or read book Pr cis de droit de la circulation routi re written by Bernard Dewit and published by Anthemis. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolutions du droit de la circulation et du roulage. Le droit de la circulation et du roulage est sans cesse en mouvement, compte tenu notamment de la volonté déclarée du législateur de sanctionner de plus en plus sévèrement les « délinquants routiers ». Les cours et tribunaux font également évoluer la matière. La Cour constitutionnelle a d’ailleurs prononcé plusieurs arrêts de principe qui ont totalement modifié la question de l’indemnisation des victimes d’accident lorsque les responsabilités ne peuvent pas être déterminées. Avec la loi du 31 mai 2017, le gouvernement a néanmoins mis un coup d’arrêt aux interprétations de plus en plus extensives de la Cour en abrogeant l’article 19bis-11, § 2 et en introduisant un article 29ter. Les auteurs de ce Précis se sont attachés à décrire de manière très didactique et complète toutes les facettes de cette matière évolutive. Dans cette nouvelle édition, à la structure profondément remaniée, sont notamment commentées les thématiques suivantes : • le tribunal de police, principalement à travers l’exposé des modifications en matière de mise au rôle et de celles apportées par la loi « Pot-Pourri II » en matière de procédure pénale, • la loi relative à la police de la circulation routière, en présentant les modifications résultant de la loi du 9 mars 2014 et de la loi-programme du 25 décembre 2016 qui introduit des « dispositions diverses », • la loi sur l’assurance RC automobile ; l’article 29bis et la protection des usagers faibles ; l’évolution de la portée de l’article 19bis-11, § 2, sur la base de l’examen d’arrêts prononcés par la Cour constitutionnelle ; l’abrogation de l’article 19bis-11, § 2 par le législateur et l’introduction d’un article 29ter à la portée nettement plus stricte ; le rôle du Fonds commun de garantie belge, • les conventions collectives Assuralia et les directives européennes en matière d’assurance automobile. Cet ouvrage, en donnant un aperçu clair de la matière, permet au praticien, voire au profane, de trouver rapidement des réponses précises et pratiques aux questions qu'il se pose. Découvrez un ouvrage qui présente de manière claire et didactique toutes les facettes de cette matière évolutive. EXTRAIT L’article 1er de la loi du 21 novembre 1989 dispose que « tout ce qui est attelé au véhicule est considéré comme en faisant partie ».Un véhicule en panne remorqué par un autre véhicule est donc censé faire partie de celui-ci.En réponse à une question de la Cour de cassation, la Cour de justice Benelux a décidé que « doit être considérée comme étant attelée au véhicule automoteur assuré et, partant, comme faisant partie de ce véhicule au sens de cette définition, une voiture dont une partie repose sur l’objet remorqué lorsque celui-ci est attelé audit véhicule et dont l’autre partie repose sur le sol et y circule au gré de la traction exercée par ce véhicule ».En l’espèce, un véhicule non assuré était tracté par un camion, assuré, l’arrière de la voiture reposant sur une remorque attelée au camion et les roues avant sur le sol.Le conducteur était poursuivi pour conduite sans assurance et avait été acquitté de cette prévention, au motif que le véhicule devait être considéré comme une remorque, couverte par l’assurance du camion. A PROPOS DES AUTEURS Trois auteurs ont contribué à l'élaboration de cet ouvrage : Bernard Dewit, avocat au barreau de Bruxelles, Virginie Katz, référendaire près le Tribunal de première instance de Bruxelles, et Catherine Van Gheluwe, avocat au barreau de Bruxelles.

Download or read book L indemnisation des victimes d accidents de la circulation en Europe written by Collectif, and published by Primento. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À une époque où, à l’intérieur de l’Union européenne, la circulation automobile s’effectue pratiquement sans obstacle d’un pays à l’autre, et où les frontières sont presque invisibles, il peut paraître paradoxal que les règles d’indemnisation des victimes d’accidents automobiles restent profondément différentes d’un pays à l’autre. Alors que certains pays ont mis en place des régimes d’indemnisation spécifiques, d’autres continuent d’appliquer les règles du droit commun de la responsabilité civile, plus ou moins favorables aux victimes. Le présent ouvrage, issu d’un séminaire organisé à Luxembourg les 14 et 15 décembre 2012 par le Groupe européen de recherche sur la responsabilité civile et l’assurance (GRERCA) avec le concours du Groupe de droit privé européen de l’Université du Luxembourg, dresse pour la première fois un état des lieux mettant en évidence les ressemblances et les divergences en la matière entre les principaux droits nationaux des pays d’Europe, tant en ce qui concerne les conditions et l’étendue du droit à indemnisation que la mise en oeuvre procédurale et le rôle de l’assurance. Les présentations théoriques des différents systèmes sont illustrées par la résolution comparative d’un certain nombre de cas pratiques.
