Gender and technology in the East Midlands boot and shoe industry : 1850-1911
No full textMany scholars now consider that gender is an important category in historical study,
but unfortunately many do not practice what they preach. Feminists have recognised
for some time the importance of some form of historical analysis to feminism, or at
least what Judith Allen calls 'a historically grounded feminism'. The protagonists in
the debate disagree considerably, however, over the methodology which feminist
historians should adopt. The various positions taken up have led to a schism between
those who believe the feminist challenge to mainstream, or what Elizabeth Fox-
Genovese calls 'official' history, should be mounted from within the discipline of
history or from outside it. Judith Allen claims that the work which has been done in
women's history to date serves to raise considerable doubt that accepting the
discipline of history as presently constituted is a viable option for feminism. She sees
the phallocentric characteristics of history as an obstacle to feminists using history.
Allen feels that 'no less than Marxism, feminism is opposed by professional historians
as an ahistorical grid of abstraction and prescription, threatening the integrity of the
historical evidence.
The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals

Transformation through attachment: the power of relationship in clinical social work
No full textThis case study illustrates the power of the therapeutic relationship that developed between the author and a woman who experienced early relational trauma and childhood sexual trauma, and who suffered from depression, alcohol dependence and bulimia. Examining three and a half years of individual psychotherapy through the lens of attachment theory, the client’s relationship to the author appeared to mimic an early attachment relationship and this psychotherapeutic attachment appeared to have contributed to the repair of the client’s own insecure attachment to her mother. Through the course of the therapy the client was also able to develop her ability to regulate her emotional responses and create a coherent narrative of her life. She creatively worked through her fear of God as well as apparently circumvent the intergenerational transmission of insecure attachment to her adopted daughter. This case study proposes new treatment considerations for individuals with both trauma histories and substance use disorders.DSWIncludes bibliographical referencesby Debra J. Ruisar
Public–Private Partnership Risk Factors in Emerging Countries: BOOT Illustrative Case Study
No full textA public-private partnership (PPP) is an agreement between a host government and a private entity in which the private sector supplies infrastructure assets and services that are traditionally provided by the government. The popularity of PPP projects has been steadily on the rise over the past few years. This upward trend is in large part driven by governmental fiscal austerity, particularly in the aftermath of a prolonged global economic recession. The perceived attractiveness of PPP projects is particularly acute in emerging countries because of population growth and increased urbanization. PPP projects are usually highly complex in nature. They require large capital expenditure, they have long durations, and they usually utilize sophisticated technology. For a construction firm willing to expand its services internationally, a PPP project represents a unique opportunity to leverage its core competency and achieve competitive advantage in both domestic and foreign markets. Risk, however, increases with foreign penetration because of unfamiliarity with the geography, the supply chain, the local codes, and the business practices. Using an illustrative case study of a build-own-operate- transfer (BOOT) thermal power plant project, this paper addresses the salient risk factors facing the construction firm undertaking a PPP in an emerging country. © 2012 American Society of Civil Engineers.ASCHAUER DA, 1989, J MONETARY ECON, V24, P171, DOI 10.1016-0304-3932(89)90002-0; ASCHAUER DA, 1989, J MONETARY ECON, V23, P177, DOI 10.1016-0304-3932(89)90047-0; Chapman C., 2004, International Journal of Project Management, V22, DOI 10.1016-j.ijproman.2004.05.001; Dey PK, 2004, IND MANAGE DATA SYST, V104, P334, DOI 10.1108-02635570410530748; Elwell C.
