Ethnocide: A Cultural Narrative of Refugee Detention in Hong Kong A Cultural Narrative of Refugee Detention in Hong Kong

This title was first published in 2000: An ethnographic inquiry into the socio-cultural dynamics of the Vietnamese asylum seeker detention centres in Hong Kong during the period of 1988-1995. It deals essentially with the British asylum policy towards Vietnamese refugees and its outcome in Hong Kong. Based on the author's first hand experience of working in refugee camps this book argues that the administrators managed to solve the crisis by perpetuating horrendous human rights violations and subsequent ethnocide of the asylum seekers trapped in the detention centres. | Ethnocide: A Cultural Narrative of Refugee Detention in Hong Kong A Cultural Narrative of Refugee Detention in Hong Kong

Examining the widespread phenomenon of human trafficking in Vietnam during the period of French colonial rule this book focuses on the practice of kidnapping or stealing Vietnamese women and children for sale in Chinese markets from the 1870s through to the 1940s.

Understanding Statistics for the Social Sciences with IBM SPSS

Modern statistical software provides the ability to compute statistics in a timely orderly fashion. This introductory statistics textbook presents clear explanations of basic statistical concepts and introduces students to the IBM SPSS program to demonstrate how to conduct statistical analyses via the popular point-and-click and the syntax file methods. The focal point is to show students how easy it is to analyse data using SPSS once they have learned the basics. Provides clear explanation of basic statistical concepts that provides the foundation for the beginner students’ statistical journey. Introduces the SPSS software program. Gives clear explanation of the purpose of specific statistical procedures (e. g. frequency distributions measures of central tendencies measures of variability etc. ). Avoids the conventional cookbook approach that contributes very little to students’ understanding of the rationale of how the correct results were obtained. The advantage of learning the IBM SPSS software package at the introductory class level is that most social sciences students will employ this program in their later years of study. This is because SPSS is one of the most popular of the many statistical packages currently available. Learning how to use this program at the very start not only familiarizes students with the utility of this program but also provides them with the experience to employ the program to conduct more complex analyses in their later years. | Understanding Statistics for the Social Sciences with IBM SPSS

Measuring Workplace Performance

Most Fortune 1000 companies still struggle with workspace planning and design issues. They invest millions of dollars each year with the expectation that new buildings and major renovations will help transform their culture support innovation strengthen desired behaviors and increase organizational effectiveness. And let's not forget reducing costs. But there is rarely any actual measurement of the success of a new workplace against specific business or design goals (apart from cost savings). Even less often is there any ongoing measurement program to assess and improve the quality of the workplace. Measuring Workplace Performance Second Edition explores a fundamentally new way of thinking about how organizations behave and change and what this means for planning and measuring the success of the facilities that house them. This is not a planning guide or a step by step design cookbook. Rather author Michael O'Neill presents a thought-provoking biological model for thinking about organizations and workplaces describes the tools to gather information and analyze success and presents plenty of scientific case studies with hard performance and financial metrics. O'Neill addresses issues such as:What are the effects of adding flexibility into facility and workplace design in terms of improving employee and organizational performance?How do we measure the performance of facilities in terms of supporting desired behaviors (like communication collaboration) efficient business processes and other concrete performance/financial improvements?Using real-world case studies across a variety of industries O'Neill shows the types of performance measures that leading-edge companies use as well as the improvements they attain by incorporating flexibility and control into their workspaces. He uses the data from these studies to create models showing credible links between specific design features and behavioral and business process outco

Managing the PSTN Transformation A Blueprint for a Successful Migration to IP-Based Networks

While there are many scholarly books and papers that cover the technical issues behind the public switched telephone network (PSTN) migration few books describe exactly how to manage the migration process economically. Filling this need Managing the PSTN Transformation: A Blueprint for a Successful Migration to IP-Based Networks reflects the latest understanding of the challenges behind migrating customers from the old PSTN network to an IP infrastructure. The IP transformation blueprint described in this book is not a theoretical cookbook that describes how this could work. Instead the book presents a blueprint that is the product of countless hours of work by hundreds of individuals at Deutsche Telekom (DT) over almost two years. The book presents insights gained as the DT team migrated the entire public switched telephone network in Macedonia to an Internet protocol-based platform. It illustrates the various types of challenges the team faced in integrating complex systems including flight control at their airports alarms for fire and police response and large enterprise customers. Detailing new conceptual approaches and the best practices developed for ensuring knowledge transfer within the DT group the book presents the information in a step-by-step manner to enable you to easily adapt the blueprint for particular service provider requirements. Since successful migration relies on key aspects beyond the technological side this work provides you with a product portfolio roadmap migration plan IT roadmap business case framework and a go-to-market plan. Although the book discusses the experiences of the Deutsche Telekom team as they worked to migrate the telephone network in Macedonia to an Internet protocol-based platform the IP transformation blueprint and lessons learned presented can easily be scaled up and applied to any market around the world. | Managing the PSTN Transformation A Blueprint for a Successful Migration to IP-Based Networks
