Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Safety-I is defined as the freedom from unacceptable harm. The purpose of traditional safety management is therefore to find ways to ensure this ‘freedom’. But as socio-technical systems steadily have become larger and less tractable this has become harder to do. Resilience engineering pointed out from the very beginning that resilient performance - an organisation’s ability to function as required under expected and unexpected conditions alike – required more than the prevention of incidents and accidents. This developed into a new interpretation of safety (Safety-II) and consequently a new form of safety management. Safety-II changes safety management from protective safety and a focus on how things can go wrong to productive safety and a focus on how things can and do go well. For Safety-II the aim is not just the elimination of hazards and the prevention of failures and malfunctions but also how best to develop an organisation’s potentials for resilient performance – the way it responds monitors learns and anticipates. That requires models and methods that go beyond the Safety-I toolbox. This book introduces a comprehensive approach for the management of Safety-II called the Resilience Assessment Grid (RAG). It explains the principles of the RAG and how it can be used to develop the resilience potentials. The RAG provides four sets of diagnostic and formative questions that can be tailored to any organisation. The questions are based on the principles of resilience engineering and backed by practical experience from several domains. Safety-II in Practice is for both the safety professional and academic reader. For the professional it presents a workable method (RAG) for the management of Safety-II with a proven track record. For academic and student readers the book is a concise and practical presentation of resilience engineering. | Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Women's University Narratives 1890-1945 Part II Volume II

Women's University Narratives 1890-1945 Part II Volume II

The years 1890-1945 saw an unprecedented outpouring of fiction focused on British university life much of it reflecting the drastic change that had swept through the higher education system in the late nineteenth century. Among these narratives a significant subgroup focused on the lives of women students newly admitted to the structures of higher education system their presence still stridently and sometimes even violently opposed especially at Oxbridge. These novels and short stories collected here largely unknown today were widely discussed and debated in the public sphere during the early twentieth century contributing not only to the formation of public knowledge and opinion about education through cultural figures like the ‘Girton Girl’ or the ‘undergraduette ’ but also sparking debate about many wider social and cultural issues from the place of the women writer in the literary scene to the emergence of new discourses around psychology and the body. The majority have not been reprinted since their original publication and until now have been rarely available to scholars. The publication of Women’s University Narratives 1890-1945 therefore provides a major new resource for scholarship in many areas including women’s studies educational history and literary and cultural modernism. | Women's University Narratives 1890-1945 Part II Volume II

Volume 19 Tome II: Kierkegaard Bibliography English

Volume 19 Tome II: Kierkegaard Bibliography English

The long tradition of Kierkegaard studies has made it impossible for individual scholars to have a complete overview of the vast field of Kierkegaard research. The large and ever increasing number of publications on Kierkegaard in the languages of the world can be simply bewildering even for experienced scholars. The present work constitutes a systematic bibliography which aims to help students and researchers navigate the seemingly endless mass of publications. The volume is divided into two large sections. Part I which covers Tomes I-V is dedicated to individual bibliographies organized according to specific language. This includes extensive bibliographies of works on Kierkegaard in some 41 different languages. Part II which covers Tomes VI-VII is dedicated to shorter individual bibliographies organized according to specific figures who are in some way relevant for Kierkegaard. The goal has been to create the most exhaustive bibliography of Kierkegaard literature possible and thus the bibliography is not limited to any specific time period but instead spans the entire history of Kierkegaard studies. | Volume 19 Tome II: Kierkegaard Bibliography English

World War II Historical Reenactment in Poland The Practice of Authenticity

World War II Historical Reenactment in Poland The Practice of Authenticity

This book explores the consequences of the latest political shifts in Central Eastern Europe: the rise of right-wing parties and among other things politics becoming more invested in history. These phenomena coincide and overlap with the democratisation of history by turning the past into a hot topic persistently present in the public sphere and often evoking strong emotions. Ethnographic research (conducted in 2012-2016) focusing on how World War II reenactors experience the past serves as the basis to analyse the ways in which the group uses the widespread often institutionalised interest in history to – on the one hand – become involved in debates on World War II and the remembrance thereof and – on the other – to authentically experience this past. The volume therefore analyses how physical the process of creating and experiencing grassroots visions of the past is and how these visions interact with the public discourse about the past. Reenactors’ ability to marry the often-contradictory orders of historical truth authenticity and representation is explored. Moreover Baraniecka-Olszewska analyses how the reenactors overcome various obstacles on their way towards authentic experiences performing history through their bodies. | World War II Historical Reenactment in Poland The Practice of Authenticity

The volume concludes with Part IV in which diverse identities in the education field are represented. Curated and introduced by the editors the articles included in both volumes of Mapping the Field represent a careful selection from the work of scholars whose ideas have been and continue to be influential in the field of education.

Amoris Laetitia and the spirit of Vatican II The Source of Controversy

Amoris Laetitia and the spirit of Vatican II The Source of Controversy

Amoris Laetitia Pope Francis' post-synodal exhortation on love in the family turned out to be one of the most controversial documents of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church in recent decades. It was published in April 2016 following the two Synods of Bishops on the Family held in 2014 and 2015. The document brought division amongst the Catholic hierarchy theologians and pastors and nearly two years after its publication the exact meaning of the document and its implications for the Church are still a matter of dispute. A number of prelates present at the Synods indicated that these gatherings were animated by the spirit of Vatican II. This work links the notion of the spirit of Vatican II with Amoris Laetitia and it argues that a hermeneutics of interpretation of the Second Vatican Council which focuses on following the spirit of the Council is the hermeneutics which can be and in the future most likely will be the predominant way of interpreting and implementing Amoris Laetitia. This book aims to provide a contribution to this hotly debated topic in the field of Catholic theology. | Amoris Laetitia and the spirit of Vatican II The Source of Controversy

The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa The Impact of World War II

The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa The Impact of World War II

Incorporating published and archival material this volume fills an important gap in the history of the Jewish experience during World War II describing how the war affected Jews living along the southern rim of the Mediterranean and the Levant from Morocco to Iran. Surviving the Nazi slaughter did not mean that Jews living in the Middle East and North Africa were unaffected by the war: there was constant anti-Semitic propaganda and general economic deprivation; communities were bombed; and Jews suffered because of the anti-Semitic Vichy regulations that left them unemployed homeless and subject to forced labor and deportation to labor camps. Nevertheless they fought for the Allies and assisted the Americans and the British in the invasion of North Africa. These men and women were community leaders and average people who despite their dire economic circumstances worked with the refugees attempting to escape the Nazis via North Africa Turkey or Iran and connected with international aid agencies during and after the war. By 1945 no Jewish community had been left untouched and many were financially decimated a situation that would have serious repercussions on the future of Jews in the region. Covering the entire Middle East and North Africa region this book on World War II is a key resource for students scholars and general readers interested in Jewish history World War II and Middle East history. | The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa The Impact of World War II

The Official History of Privatisation Vol. II Popular Capitalism 1987-97

The Official History of Privatisation Vol. II Popular Capitalism 1987-97

This is Volume II of Professor Parker's authoritative Official History of Privatisation covering the period from the re-election of Margaret Thatcher in 1987 to the election of Tony Blair in 1997. Volume II considers in detail several of the major privatisations including those of airports steel water electricity coal and the railways as well as a number of smaller ones. Each privatisation involved major challenges in terms of industrial restructuring organising successful sales and in a number of cases establishing effective regulatory regimes. The policy evolved and new methods of selling and regulating were put in place that enabled further disposals to occur. Monolithic nationalised industries with their emphasis on the benefits of economies of scale vertical integration and rationalisation were replaced by industrial structures rooted in the importance of commercial management risk taking and competition. In government departments and parts of the National Health Service direct employees were replaced by private contractors and private investment became a characteristic of public infrastructure in the form of PFI/PPP schemes. This study draws heavily on the official records of the British government to which the author was given full access and on interviews with the leading figures involved in each of the privatisations including ex-ministers civil servants business and City figures as well as academics that have studied the subject. This book will of great interest to students of privatisation British political history and of business and economics in general. | The Official History of Privatisation Vol. II Popular Capitalism 1987-97
