The only constant in life and organizations is change. Change can come in a variety of forms, affecting the way people perform and feel at work, and can sometimes result in grief. This chapter defines grieving organizations and other pathologies that affect organizational health, identifying particular traits that are visible in the way in which work is performed. Different comparisons are made in order to pinpoint key elements and events that can affect the wellbeing of employees. An example from academia is presented: A private Business School in Puebla has faced numerous changes that affect the emotional wellbeing of its members. Changes in leadership, organizational procedures and policies, layouts, early retirement, and even the death of a colleague have substantially affected staff performance. Establishing the right courses of action is essential to develop leadership and promote an organizational climate that is supportive of its employees.

Grant is a covenant with which the giver in his life freely and cannot be taken back to hand over something to which the recipient receives the gift. As for the question of how grants to minors and symptoms should be performed and how they will be satisfied if they are given to minors. The purpose of this study is to identify the forms of legal protection, constraints, and mechanism for executing child grants and efforts to achieve their completion. The adoption of grants to minors should be accompanied by either the parents or the guardians. The study was empirical juridical, qualitative analysis. The literature of the theory referred to under section 1682 PCT chapter 37 pp no. 24 1997, on which grants still have to be made in front of PPAT. Studies that grant could be granted to minors on the condition that a parent should have a guardian or representation of a child, the problem that occurs in the granting of a child to a minor is that other families demand the right of the grant where it is performed without the consent of another sibling, the way it is done by a notary notarized deed, and then it is renewed with a firm and clear vow. For legal protection against property from minors, legal care can be made through parental or child custody, whether by law or by law, it may not be used to transfer, transfer or distribute the child's wealth unless it is granted by the court.

This review discusses various challenges and solutions to tackle them on the route that the Texas Central is developing between Houston and Dallas. A privately funded high-speed rail line promises to whisk passengers from Houston to Dallas at 200 mph; however, building the project may divide rural areas even as it unites cities. Inter-regional passenger car travel and three- to five-hour air flights are increasingly plagued by delays, hassles, and bureaucratic security theater. Researchers believe high-speed rail can compete in that market, potentially transforming the way business is conducted and national geography is conceived. That is, of course, if the companies building high-speed rail lines can find the right alignments between cities without alienating residents, businesses, and farmers along the way. Texas Central Railway has chosen the Japanese Shinkansen bullet train technology for its trainsets and rail. The current plan is for all the power and passenger cars to be made in Japan.

How can a supreme audit institution (SAI) use design thinking in auditing? SAIs audit the way taxpayers’ money is collected and spent. Adding design thinking to their activities is not to be taken lightly. SAIs independently check whether public organizations have done the right things in the right way, but the organizations might not be willing to act upon a SAI’s recommendations. Can you imagine the role of design in audits? In this paper we share our experiences of some design approaches in the work of one SAI: the Netherlands Court of Audit (NCA). Design thinking needs to be adapted (Dorst, 2015a) before it can be used by SAIs such as the NCA in order to reflect their independent, autonomous status. To dive deeper into design thinking, Buchanan’s design framework (2015) and different ways of reasoning (Dorst, 2015b) are used to explore how design thinking can be adapted for audits.

The 1948 Nakba has, in light of the 1993 Oslo Accords and Palestinian refugee activists' mobilisation around the right of return, taken on a new-found centrality and importance in Palestinian refugee communities. Closely-related to this, members of the ‘Generation of Palestine’, the only individuals who can recollect Nakba memories, have come to be seen as the guardians of memories that are eventually to reclaim the homeland. These historical, social and political realities are deeply rooted in the ways in which the few remaining members of the generation of Palestine recollect 1948. Moreover, as members of communities that were destroyed in Palestine, and whose common and temporal and spatial frameworks were non-linearly constituted anew in Syria, one of the multiples meanings of the Nakba today can be found in the way the refugee communities perceive and define this generation.

The relationships between Islam and the West are complex. Even theperceptions of those relations have an important impact on the nature ofthe interactions. If the basic images that are used in discussing “Islam andthe West” are themselves ill-defiied or viewed in inconsistent ways, therelationships themselves are affected in sometimes dangerous ways.Inconsistent and contradictory terms of analysis can lead to misunderstandingand conflict.One of the most frequent conceptual mistakes made in discussingIslam and the West in the modem era is the identification of “the West”with “modemity.” This mistake has a significant impact on the way peeple view the processes of modernization in the Islamic world as well as onthe way people interpret the relationships between Islam and the West inthe contemporary era.The basic generalizations resulting from the following analysis can bestated simply: 1) “modernity“ is not uniquely “western”; 2) “the West” isnot simply “modernity”; and 3) the identifixation of “the West” with“modemity” has important negative consequences for understanding therelationships between Islam and the West. Modernity and the West aretwo different concepts and historic entities. To use the terms interchangeablyis to invite unnecessary confusion and create possible conflict’andinconsistency. This article will address the problem of definition and theapplication of the defined terms to interpreting actual experiences andrelationships.Understanding the difficulties raised by the identification of theWest with modernity involves a broader analysis within the frameworkof world history and global historical perspectives.

There is a consensus about the existence of an international right to vote in democratic elections. Yet states disagree about the limits of this right when it comes to the case of prisoners’ disenfranchisement. Some states allow all prisoners to vote, some disenfranchise all prisoners, and others allow only some prisoners to vote. This chapter argues that national courts view the international right to vote in three fundamentally different ways: some view it as an inalienable right that cannot be taken away, some view it merely as a privilege that doesn’t belong to the citizens, and others view it as a revocable right that can be taken away under certain conditions. The differences in the way states conceive the right to vote imply that attempts by the European Court of Human Rights to follow the policies of the majority of European states by using the Emerging Consensus doctrine are problematic.

What is it for a concept to be normative? Some possible answers are explored and rejected, among them that a concept is normative if it ascribes a normative property. The positive answer defended is that a concept is normative if it is in the right way associated with a normative use. Among issues discussed along the way are the nature of analyticity, and there being a notion of analyticity—what I call semantic analyticity—such that a statement can be analytic in this sense while failing to be true. Considerations regarding thick concepts and slurs are brought to bear on the issues that come up.

While there were clear strategic aims in the way that marriages were made in the Howard dynasty during this period, the family was only unusual in that it operated at the very top of the aristocratic hierarchy and was therefore able to use marital alliances to successfully recover and bolster both status and finances. Where they were different, however, was in the experience of some of these women within marriage. By and large, the marriages made by and for members of the family, including women, seem to have been as successful as others of their class. However, three women close to the core of the dynasty experienced severe marital problems, even ‘failed’ marriages, almost simultaneously during the 1520s and 1530s. The records generated by these episodes tell us about the way in which the family operated as a whole, and the agency of women in this context, and this chapter therefore reconstructs these disputes for this purpose.
