 Learn SOLIDWORKS 2020 by Tayseer Almattar English | 2019 | ISBN: 1789804108 | 576 Pages | PDF (True) | 57 MB  Law, Politics and the Gender Binary by Petr Agha English | Jul 24, 2018 | ISBN: 1138486051, 0367670453 | 118 pages | PDF | 2 MB The distinction between male and female, or masculinity and femininity, has long been considered to be foundational to society and the organization of its institutions. In the last decades, the massive literature on gender has challenged this discursive construction. Gender has been disassembled and reassembled, variously considered as social practice, performance, ideology. Yet the binary relationship 'man/woman' continues to be a characteristic trait of Western societies. This book gathers together contributions by experts in various fields - including law, sociology, philosophy and anthropology - to pin down the relationship between institutions and the gender binary. Centrally, it examines the way in which the present-day gender binary is shored up by the conceptualization and regulation of sex and gender at societal and institutional levels. Based on this examination, it tackles the issue of what the practices and processes of subjectivation are that preserve this binary distinction as the foundation of gender. Each of the chapters discusses this pressing question with a view to considering whether current equality policies challenge hierarchical and hegemonic understandings of gender or are the residue of a sexist understanding of gender. This analysis then paves the way for a more general and crucial question: whether institutions can, or should, contribute to the process of deconstructing the gender binary.

What are the facts, and legends, around this important day in the nation's history?  Item Response Theory by R. Darrell Bock, Robert D.

Here a team of international scholars examine aspects of the saint's life, historical context, engagement with scripture, and his ecclesiastical and theological legacy for succeeding generations."This wide-ranging collection of essays will refine many detailed aspects of the scholarly reception of Irenaeus, but at the same time is calculated to provide something of a comprehensive overview. This will make it indispensable to the serious student who seeks to grasp the significance of one often dubbed 'the first Christian theologian'." --Frances Young, Emeritus Professor of Theology, University of Birmingham"A badly needed contemporary collection of essays on various historical, textual, and theological aspects of the often cited and too little understood Irenaeus of Lyons. The variety of perspectives creates a lively volume, and the extensive bibliography, including editions of Irenaeus' writings, make it essential." --Rebecca Lyman, Church Divinity School of the Pacific"Sara Parvis and Paul Foster have collected in one volume an eloquent and timely testimony to the perennial vitality of Irenaeus's vision. Their book masterfully situates Irenaeus in a multiplicity of contexts: historical, scriptural, and theological." --Khaled Anatolios,Boston College School of Theology and MinistryFrom the Inside FlapChampion of martyrs, scourge of heretics, erudite theologian, shrewd politician no account of early Christianity is complete without careful consideration of Irenaeus of Lyons.

Intellectual Capital and Organizational Performance: An Empirical Focus on Social Cooperative Enterprises English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030784789 | 89 Pages | PDF EPUB | 1.3 MB This monograph provides empirical evidence on the relationship between intellectual capital (IC) and organizational performance of social cooperative enterprises (SCEs) that work in the non-profit sector. The author presents a survey of a sample of SCEs located in Italy to identify the main components of IC for SCEs and to investigate the effect of IC sub-dimensions on a firm's performance. The book thus presents new empirical evidence on IC in non-profit organizations along with a revelation of the main value drivers by using the survey method as an IC measurement tool combined with a principal components analysis. Finally, considering the difficulties related to the data gathering process in the non-profit sector and in measuring intangible assets, this book helps in increasing the understanding of IC features with a focus on the hybrid organization as SCEs.
