The 1999 World Trade Organization (WTO) protest in Seattle was a defining moment in how local law enforcement manages mass demonstra- tions.Even the most memorable demonstrations, including the 1968 Democratic National Con- vention (DNC) in Chicago and the anti-war protest at Kent State University, were not organ- ized or carried out with the intent to cause injury or large-scale destruction. H…

This informational booklet is intended to provide a generic, non-exhaustive overview of a particular standards-related topic. This publication does not itself alter or determine compliance responsibilities, which are set forth in OSHA standards them- selves and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Moreover, because interpretations and enforcement policy may change over time, for additional g…

Regulatory requirements related to environmental management and protection of worker health and safety have become more demanding in most organizations over the past decade. While quality, environmental, health, and safety (QEHS) are each areas with specific professional bodies of knowledge, they all meet and intermesh in the daily operations of any manufacturing, processing, power ge…
Globalization, demographic changes and lack of talented employees – they all contribute to the increase in interest in managing diversity of workers’ potential. The concept of diversity management first appeared in the eighties, but nowadays it appears even more often, especially in the business, scientific and social and legal context. Diversity management (dm) is a part of the Europe…
Abstract: Cloud computing has made it possible for private companies to make rapid changes in their computing environments. However, in the public sector, security issues hinder institutions from adopting cloud computing. To solve these security challenges, in this paper, we propose a methodology for information security management, which quantitatively classifies the importance of informat…
Knowledge of cultural influences can be leveraged to mitigate risk, to contain costs and to improve corporate effectiveness. Surprisingly, these aspects of organizational behaviour are often overlooked or their effect underestimated. Management commitment may be the single most important determinant of airline safety. Although further research linking measured management commitment and safet…
Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent of psychological disorders, affecting up to 25% of individuals in the general population at some time in their lives (Kessler et al., 1994). Despite their high prevalence, however, anxiety disorders often go undiagnosed and untreated, especially in primary care settings (e.g., Weiller, Bisserbe, Maier, & Lecrubier, 1998). In addition, there is …
The 1.5 million persons arrested each year for driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs (DUI) constitute a growing portion of the caseloads of the nation’s probation officers (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 2002). The sheer volume of these cases poses the challenge of determining which DUI offenders pose the greatest threat to public safety and require more rigorous monitoring…
The State Records Management Act (Government Code, Section 14740-14774) requires the Director of the Department of General Services (DGS) to establish and administer the state’s records management program. The program applies “… to the creation, utilization, maintenance, retention, preservation, and disposal of state records.” DGS administers the program though the State Administrati…
In the year nineteen hundred and fourteen Anno Domini, amid a world conflict, the birth of the infant State of Ireland was announced. Almost unnoticed this birth, which in other times had been cried over the earth with rejoicings or anger. Mars, the red planet of war, was in the ascendant when it was born. Like other births famous in history, the child had to be hidden away for a time, and coul…
It is the purpose of this volume to trace the influence of our constitutional system upon the political conditions which exist in this country to-day. This phase of our political problems has not received adequate recognition at the hands of writers on American politics. Very often indeed it has been entirely ignored, although in the short period which has elapsed since our Constitution was fra…
The present volume, therefore, essays a twofold task. The first two chapters briefly recapitulate and continue the history of our work down to its abrupt end. The latter chapters deal with such questions as those mentioned above. One feature of the earlier volume survives in its successor. The Appendix to that volume contained a selection of articles written by boys for our political paper, The…
Our world has been in a process of structural transformation for over two decades. This process is multidimensional, but it is associated with the emergence of a new technological paradigm, based in information and communication technologies, that took shape in the 1970s and diffused unevenly around the world. We know that technology does not determine society: it is society. Society shapes tec…

A diseased nation, subject to paroxysms of insanity, and requiring 30,000 keepers, was a dangerous neighbour, as well as a serious financial burden. Yet many contended that all such attempts were useless. It was like trying different kinds of soap to whiten the skin of a negro. The patient was incurable. Her ailment was nothing but natural perversity, aggravated by religious delusions; and the …
The South of today is not the South of 1860 or even of 1865. There is a New South, though not perhaps in the sense usually understood, for no expression has been more often misused in superficial discussion. Men have written as if the phrase indicated a new land and a new civilization, utterly unlike anything that had existed before and involving a sharp break with the history and the tradition…
