Fundamentals of Port Engineering

Port engineering primarily deals with the design construction operation management and maintenance of ports overlapping with many other disciplines. This book provides an introductory text to prospective (graduate) port engineers and presents a wide variety of port subjects for practicing engineers. It covers almost all topics related to port engineering in a fundamental way including dredging marine aids to navigation environmental issues containers liquid bulk dry bulk general cargo multipurpose roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) fishing and ferry terminals. Discussions are targeted at a conceptual design level. Other features: Aspects of port engineering are discussed including shipping maritime trade environmental aspects (such as climate change) resilience of ports nature-based solutions and port management (such as security equipment slurry pumping and so forth) Illustrates the design of port terminals Discusses site selection for a new port the factors to be considered and ways to compare different potential port sites Explores asset management and repair of marine structures Includes case studies from around the world examples and practical and user-friendly guidelines | Fundamentals of Port Engineering

Safer by Design A Guide to the Management and Law of Designing for Product Safety

Safer by Design A Guide to the Management and Law of Designing for Product Safety

Product safety begins with design or formulation whether it is for a complex engineering product or a simple household article. Those who suffer damage from a design defect can win compensation without having to prove negligence. Manufacturers suppliers and importers can all be responsible for ensuring that their products are safe. To help protect them against prosecution customer dissatisfaction and commercial loss requires a programme of risk reduction which begins with the management of design. Design and product development require a balanced approach to the new realities of the legal situation both for companies and individual designers. Part One reviews the strategy needed to manage design in the fresh legal climate and includes guidance on techniques that can be used. Part Two is a jargon-free guide through the difficult area of international product liability law. It has been entirely rewritten to reflect the many recent changes to influence European law and a designer's personal liability. Part Three brings home vividly the physical legal and commercial risks of product defects and demonstrates ways in which they could be prevented. There are over 20 real life fascinating and instructive case histories many of them new ranging from exploding office chairs to ro-ro ferries and from washing powder to aircraft. Safer by Design is exceptional in providing management and risk assessment advice coupled with legal guidance and actual practical lessons. | Safer by Design A Guide to the Management and Law of Designing for Product Safety

We are the Leaders We've Been Waiting For Women and Leadership Development in College

We are the Leaders We've Been Waiting For Women and Leadership Development in College

At this time of social flux of changing demographics on campus and the world beyond of recognition of intersectional identities as well as the wide variety of aspirations and career goals of today's women undergraduates how can colleges and universities best prepare them for the demands of modern leadership? This text speaks to the changing context of today’s women students' experiences recognizing that their work life goals may go beyond climbing the corporate ladder to include social innovation and entrepreneurial goals policy and politics and social activism. This book is a product of multiple collaborations and intellectual contributions of a diverse group of undergraduate and graduate women who helped shape the course on which it is based. They provided research support critical readings as well as the diverse narratives that are included throughout the book not as an ideal for readers to aspire to but as an authentic expression of how their distinct and sometimes non-conforming lived experiences shaped their understandings of leadership. It goes beyond hero/she-ro person-centered approaches to get at the complex and intrapersonal nature of leadership. It also situates intersectional identities critical consciousness and student development theory as important lenses throughout the text. Recognizing that there are many possible manifestations of leadership or gender this text encourages students to embrace the contradictions rather than engaging in dualistic black-and-white thinking challenging them to address such questions as Should women “lean in” and work harder to achieve their own leadership goals or should they focus on bigger systemic issues to create equity in the workplace?Each chapter concludes with a brief chapter review a narrative from a current college student and critical reflection questions. | We are the Leaders We've Been Waiting For Women and Leadership Development in College

The Macedonian Question and the Macedonians A History

The Macedonian Question and the Macedonians A History

This book is a comprehensive and dispassionate analysis of the intriguing Macedonian Question from 1878 until 1949 and of the Macedonians (and of their neighbours) from the 1890s until today with the two themes intertwining. The Macedonian Question was an offshoot of the wider Eastern Question – i. e. the fate of the European remnants of the Ottoman Empire once it dissolved. The initial protagonists of the Macedonian Question were Greece Bulgaria and Serbia and a Slav-speaking population inhabiting geographical Macedonia in search of its destiny the largest segment of which ended up creating a new nation comprising the Macedonians something unacceptable to its three neighbours. Alexis Heraclides analyses the shifting sands of the Macedonian Question and of the gradual rise of Macedonian nationhood with special emphasis on the Greek Bulgarian and Serbian claims to Macedonia (1870s–1919); the birth and vicissitudes of the most famous Macedonian revolutionary organization the VM(O)RO and of other organizations (1893–1940); the appearance and gradual establishment of the Macedonian nation from the 1890s until 1945; Titos’s crucial role in Macedonian nationhood-cum-federal status; the Greek-Macedonian name dispute (1991–2018) including the ‘skeletons in the cupboard’ – the deep-seated reasons rendering the clash intractable for decades; the final Greek-Macedonian settlement (the 2018 Prespa Agreement); the Bulgarian-Macedonian dispute (1950–today) and its ephemeral settlement in 2017; the issue of the Macedonian language; and the Macedonian national historical narrative. The author also addresses questions around who the ancient Macedonians were and the fascination with Alexander the Great. This monograph will be an essential resource for scholars working on Macedonian history Balkan politics and conflict resolution. | The Macedonian Question and the Macedonians A History
