This new edition - now with Nancy Jackson as a co-author - continues the themes of the first edition: the need to restore the biodiversity, ecosystem health, and ecosystem services provided by coastal landforms and habitats, especially in the light of climate change. The second edition reports on progress made on practices identified in the first edition, presents additional case studies, and addresses new and emerging issues. It analyzes the tradeoffs involved in restoring beaches and dunes - especially on developed coasts - the most effective approaches to use, and how stakeholders can play an active role. The concept of restoration is broad, and includes physical, ecological, economic, social, and ethical principles and ideals. The book will be valuable for coastal scientists, engineers, planners, and managers, as well as shorefront residents. It will also serve as a useful supplementary reference textbook in courses dealing with issues of coastal management and ecology.

Backward Linkages

This paper looks into the transferability of management technologies and spillovers through backward linkages through the medium of FDI to the host developing countries. The results of the case studies conducted in the Indian context reveal that significant inter-source country differences exist in the transfer of production organisation and human resource related technology to FDI firms. The benefits that the host country derives from technology transfer through FDI, depend to a large extend on the behavioral pattern of FDI which varies across source-countries

Dalit Women

In the Indian context, caste controls the gender norms as women are the producers of the nation of ‘caste purity’. No wonder all the Hindu religious scriptures have explicitly or implicitly condemned the notion of miscegenation. Thus the Hindu social order works on two grounds either on the karma ideology of dharma (religion) or danda (punishment) thereupon violence is used as a tool to regulate the Hindu society. Historically dalit men and women have been encountering culturally sanctioned violence, mainly from the Hindu social order in the name of ‘violating social norms’ in various forms ranging from inter-caste marriages, temple entry and untouchability and so on. As a result, dalits, especially dalit women become the easy target for so-called ‘protectors of religious authority’. Further, the presence of violence has been normalized and turned into an everyday phenomenon. This article aims to address sexual violence specifically the rape incidents of dalit women due to their intersectional position in the society. The article also explores how the responses of state stakeholders on these two case studies i.e. Bhagana (2014) and Alwar (2019), having distinct rural and urban location, where dalit women’s rape reveals, the caste power of dominant caste community. It also probes how land becomes a contested space to evade dalits’ demand while raping dalit women. The researcher has opted for the case study method to analyze this broader issue and resources are limited to scholarly articles, online media and print media resources and fact-findings reports.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.

Multiple Regression Technique

Short-form versions of the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar (Toronto, 1973) and the Northwestern Syntax Screening Test (Lee, 1971) were devised for use with bilingual Latino children while preserving the original normative data. Application of a multiple regression technique to data collected on 60 lower social status Latino children (four years and six months to seven years and one month) from Spanish Harlem and Yonkers, New York, yielded a small but powerful set of predictor items from the Spanish and English tests. Clinicians may make rapid and accurate predictions of STSG or NSST total screening scores from administration of substantially shortened versions of the instruments. Case studies of Latino children from Chicago and Miami serve to cross-validate the procedure outside the New York metropolitan area.

Communication Needs

As the field of telepractice grows, perceived barriers to service delivery must be anticipated and addressed in order to provide appropriate service delivery to individuals who will benefit from this model. When applying telepractice to the field of AAC, additional barriers are encountered when clients with complex communication needs are unable to speak, often present with severe quadriplegia and are unable to position themselves or access the computer independently, and/or may have cognitive impairments and limited computer experience. Some access methods, such as eye gaze, can also present technological challenges in the telepractice environment. These barriers can be overcome, and telepractice is not only practical and effective, but often a preferred means of service delivery for persons with complex communication needs.
