Debate and Dialogue Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430

Debate and Dialogue Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430

This book explores the construction of Christian identity in fourth and fifth centuries through inventing fabricating and sharpening binary oppositions. Such oppositions for example Christians - pagans; truth - falsehood; the one true god - the multitude of demons; the right religion - superstition served to create and reinforce the Christian self-identity. The author examines how the Christian argumentation against pagans was intertwined with self-perception and self-affirmation. Discussing the relations and interaction between pagan and Christian cultures this book aims at widening historical understanding of the cultural conflicts and the otherness in world history thus contributing to the ongoing discussion about the historical and conceptual basis of cultural tolerance and intolerance. This book offers a valuable contribution to contemporary scholarly debate about Late Antique religious history and the relationship between Christianity and other religions. | Debate and Dialogue Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430

Optical Methods for Managing the Diabetic Foot

Optical Methods for Managing the Diabetic Foot

This book discusses optical technologies for Diabetic Foot management. It combines the current medical literature review with an overview of the technology and physics behind it. Thus it is a single-source introduction to the topic. It can also be used as a reference source and practical guide for the use of technology. The particular focus is on low-cost technologies including hyperspectral imaging thermography and endogenous bacterial fluorescence. Moving diagnostic modalities closer to the patient (e. g. primary care) allows the disease to be detected at an earlier stage thus improving outcomes. However while some optical technologies are available commercially they have not received wide clinical adoption due to gaps in knowledge translation to mainstream medicine. This book aims to narrow this gap with practical illustrations. The book will be of interest to a broad range of healthcare professionals clinical researchers engineers and decision-makers who are dealing with complications of diabetes. Key Features: Reviews the current state of technologies Provides a practical guide with practical considerations and illustrations Supplies a 360-degree view of the combination of clinical information with a technology background and primers on physics and engineering | Optical Methods for Managing the Diabetic Foot

Performance Planning and Review Making employee appraisals work

Performance Planning and Review Making employee appraisals work

Managing employees' performance is central to the role of every manager. Yet few organisations or managers are satisfied with their performance management systems - and few employees look forward to their performance reviews. This discontent has two main causes: first employees' performance is often managed in isolation from the plans and targets of the work group or business unit; and second the organisation is using inappropriate systems and methods of performance management. Performance Planning and Review describes how systematic performance management - planning monitoring reviewing rewarding and developing what individual employees and work teams do - is the key to organisational success in today's complex and competitive world. Using practical examples the author outlines the options available to organisations and managers and discusses how to work out what is best for your organisation. Performance Planning and Review has been popular with managers human resources specialists students and others since its original publication. This new edition has been substantially revised to capture the latest research and good practice. It includes extensive coverage of new techniques like 360-degree feedback and to open up new areas such as performance planning and review for teams. | Performance Planning and Review Making employee appraisals work

The Routledge Handbook of Ethnic Conflict

The Routledge Handbook of Ethnic Conflict

A definitive global survey of the interaction of ethnicity nationalism and politics this handbook blends rigorous theoretically grounded analysis with empirically rich illustrations to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the contemporary debates on one of the most pervasive international security challenges today. Fully updated for the second edition the book includes a new section which offers detailed analyses of contemporary cases of conflict such as in Ukraine Kosovo the African Great Lakes region and in the Kurdish areas across the Middle East thus providing accessible examples that bridge the gap between theory and practice. The contributors offer a 360-degree perspective on ethnic conflict: from the theoretical foundations of nationalism and ethnicity to the causes and consequences of ethnic conflict and to the various strategies adopted in response to it. Without privileging any specific explanation of why ethnic conflict happens at a particular place and time or why attempts at preventing or settling it might fail or succeed The Routledge Handbook of Ethnic Conflict enables readers to gain a better insight into such defining moments in post-Cold War international history as the disintegration of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia and their respective consequences the genocide in Rwanda and the relative success of conflict settlement efforts in Northern Ireland. By contributing to understanding the varied and multiple causes of ethnic conflicts and to learning from the successes and failures of their prevention and settlement the Handbook makes a powerful case that ethnic conflicts are neither unavoidable nor unresolvable but rather that they require careful analysis and thoughtful and measured responses.
