Advances in E-Governance Theory and Application of Technological Initiatives

Advances in E-Governance Theory and Application of Technological Initiatives

E-Governance as a field of study is relatively new when considered within the broader historical context of US democracy. The advent of the modern Internet in the early 1990s yielded new technologies that began to shift citizen expectations of how government can - and in many cases should - govern. Though innovations continue to emerge at a rapid pace these technologies may be used to reinforce long-held deliberative democracy principles including transparency accountability and flexibility. Advances in E-Governance offers a comprehensive exploration of the role that technological innovation plays in facilitating government action and citizen participation. In this timely book author Anthony Trotta differentiates e-governance from e-government and examines the increasingly important role social media and crowdsourcing have come to play in our democracy and the interactions between technology polling voting and outcomes. Including practical cases ranging from DMV registration to online tax filing and markers of successful implementation Advances in E-Governance carefully addresses how the adoption and expansion of electronic platforms align with new government paradigms and looks to future trends in this rapidly expanding field. | Advances in E-Governance Theory and Application of Technological Initiatives

A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

In recent decades there has been an exponential increase in large hydroelectric plants in Brazil especially in the Amazon region. These large hydraulic structures impact the environment and the lives of people living in the places where they settle and require a special type of water governance. The dictatorial regime (1964-1985) created a standard for the construction of these great structures through an institutional and legal framework which benefited the Brazilian business elite but also through the creation of a popular imagination which shows itself lasting progress on the country's progress and development. The suspension of security the fragility of institutional environmental structures the disrespect for indigenous reserves the lack of clarity about the concept of affected population and the non-payment of fair compensation were identified as one of the main challenges for a democratic water governance in the country. In the late 1970s the Dam-Affected Movement (MAB) began its organization and is also studied in this research. The study is an important and insightful academic contribution to the understanding of the main bottlenecks of effective water governance in Brazil. | A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

Foundations of Public Service E Pluribus Unum

Foundations of Public Service E Pluribus Unum

Designed to serve as a basic text for introductory courses in public administration this pioneering work provides students with a clear-eyed understanding of the vital management functions covered in most standard textbooks with two important differences. First it is written to address the needs of both the experienced practitioner and the entry-level public servant. Case examples bridge the content-rich environment of practitioners with the principles of public administration sought by pre-service students. Second the discussion of management practices is grounded in the political and ethical tensions inherent in the American constitutional form of governance. This innovative approach reflects the authors' belief that public administration operates as an integral part of the country's political traditions and thereby helps define the political culture. Key themes in this third edition include: • an emphasis on the ways in which public administration and their agents play a critical role in ensuring legal and political accountability of the political system; • an exploration of local public administration as the backstop of American democracy requiring a close working partnership between part-time elected officials and career administrators; • careful examination of the ways in which the American political economy requires administrators who are skilled at co-producing the common good with voluntary associations businesses nonprofit organizations and other governmental entities; • an understanding that public administration plays a critical role with its prudential judgments in balancing the competing values necessary to secure a regime of ordered liberty. Every chapter has been thoroughly updated with particular attention paid to chapters on budgeting and revenue e-government and the digital divide shared power and the rise of wicked problems and the future of public administration in the United States amidst deep polarization. Foundations of Public Service 3rd Edition provides a framework for understanding American political traditions and how they inform public administration as a political practice. It is required reading for all introductory Public Administration courses with an emphasis on practice and real-world applications. | Foundations of Public Service E Pluribus Unum

Research & Education in Design: People & Processes & Products & Philosophy Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Research and E

Research & Education in Design: People & Processes & Products & Philosophy Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Research and E

Design is about the creation of meaningful connections to solve problems and advance human wellbeing; the discipline has always explored the beneficial links between form and function technology and meaning beauty and utility people and artefacts and problems and solutions among others. This book focuses on the crucial connection between design research and design education. Contemporary society grows increasingly hyper-complex and globally competitive. This state of affairs raises fundamental questions for both Design Education and Design Research: Should research skills be integrated into undergraduate courses? How can we modify design courses without compromising the positive aspects of the educational studio experience? Can the three cycles of higher education in design be combined into a creative and inquisitive educational continuum? To examine the relationship between research and education in Design we must address the topic of knowledge keeping in mind that the development and dissemination of new and useful knowledge is the core purpose of a University. If we agree that design has its own things to know and ways to find out about them then design knowledge resides in people processes products and philosophy. This book explores the intersection of these four areas with the aim of uncovering insights to advance the current state of the design discipline. | Research & Education in Design: People & Processes & Products & Philosophy Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Research and E

Criminal Defense-Based Forensic Social Work

Criminal Defense-Based Forensic Social Work

This book draws upon the Colorado Model of Criminal Defense-Based Forensic Social Work – a holistic client-centered collaborative approach that uses a trauma-informed care framework – to outline the numerous roles and skills of a forensic social worker. The comprehensive developmentally informed model employs a past (e. g. mitigation themes and life history compilation) present (e. g. client contact and current functioning support) and future (e. g. reentry services) framework to provide mitigation narratives for defendants and to create a comprehensive approach to service. The text starts with an overview of practice standards ethical considerations and legal frameworks. Next chapters examine the unique roles that a forensic social worker must take on and the skills they need to possess. These include using clinical interventions with clients in nonclinical settings working with clients of different identities and backgrounds assisting with reentry planning for incarcerated clients and collaborating with experts outside of the defense team. Finally the authors provide strategies for practitioners to engage in their own self-care. Interwoven with four case studies using the Colorado Model this book will be valuable reading for graduate schools of social work law school programs which have clinics or direct practice components to legal studies and at defender agencies who contract with or employ social workers on staff.

Field Administration An Aspect of Decentralisation

Field Administration An Aspect of Decentralisation

First published in 1967 Field Administration provides a useful introduction to a much-neglected aspect of administration. Every government finds it necessary to decentralise its administration. But in Britain much more attention has been paid to devolution i. e. to local government than to deconcentration i. e. to local and regional administrative organisation or what Mr. Smith calls field administration. Neither aspect of decentralisation can be fully understood in isolation and one great merit of this volume is it study of interrelationships between the two. To illustrate the general principles involved case studies are provided of three kinds of field administration: the functional (the Ministry of Agriculture in the U. K. ) the integrated prefectoral system (Burma) and the unintegrated prefectoral system (Northern Nigeria). This book will be of interest to students of political science government and administration. | Field Administration An Aspect of Decentralisation

Direct Sum Decompositions of Torsion-Free Finite Rank Groups

Direct Sum Decompositions of Torsion-Free Finite Rank Groups

With plenty of new material not found in other books Direct Sum Decompositions of Torsion-Free Finite Rank Groups explores advanced topics in direct sum decompositions of abelian groups and their consequences. The book illustrates a new way of studying these groups while still honoring the rich history of unique direct sum decompositions of groups. Offering a unified approach to theoretic concepts this reference covers isomorphism endomorphism refinement the Baer splitting property Gabriel filters and endomorphism modules. It shows how to effectively study a group G by considering finitely generated projective right End(G)-modules the left End(G)-module G and the ring E(G) = End(G)/N(End(G)). For instance one of the naturally occurring properties considered is when E(G) is a commutative ring. Modern algebraic number theory provides results concerning the isomorphism of locally isomorphic rtffr groups finitely faithful S-groups that are J-groups and each rtffr L-group that is a J-group. The book concludes with useful appendices that contain background material and numerous examples.

Lectures on Perception An Ecological Perspective

Lectures on Perception An Ecological Perspective

Lectures on Perception: An Ecological Perspective addresses the generic principles by which each and every kind of life form—from single celled organisms (e. g. difflugia) to multi-celled organisms (e. g. primates)—perceives the circumstances of their living so that they can behave adaptively. It focuses on the fundamental ability that relates each and every organism to its surroundings namely the ability to perceive things in the sense of how to get about among them and what to do or not to do with them. The book’s core thesis breaks from the conventional interpretation of perception as a form of abduction based on innate hypotheses and acquired knowledge and from the historical scientific focus on the perceptual abilities of animals most especially those abilities ascribed to humankind. Specifically it advances the thesis of perception as a matter of laws and principles at nature’s ecological scale and gives equal theoretical consideration to the perceptual achievements of all of the classically defined ‘kingdoms’ of organisms—Archaea Bacteria Protoctista Fungi Plantae and Animalia. | Lectures on Perception An Ecological Perspective

Executive Function Development Across the Life Span

Executive Function Development Across the Life Span

Executive Function: Development Across the Life Span presents perspectives from leading researchers and theorists on the development of executive function from infancy to late adulthood and the factors that shape its growth and decline. Executive function is the set of higher-order cognitive processes involved in regulating attention thoughts and actions. Relative to other cognitive domains its development is slow and decline begins early in late adulthood. As such it is particularly sensitive to variations in environments and experiences and there is growing evidence that it is susceptible to intervention – important because of its link to a wide range of important life outcomes. The volume is made up of four sections. It begins with an overview of executive function’s typical development across the lifespan providing a foundation for the remainder of the volume. The second section presents insights into mechanisms of executive function as provided by a variety of methodological approaches. The third and fourth sections review the current research evidence on specific factors that shape executive function’s development focusing on normative (e. g. bilingualism physical activity cognitive training) and clinically relevant (e. g. substance use neurodegenerative disease) developmental pathways. | Executive Function Development Across the Life Span
