International Migration, Labour Mobility and HRM
No full textThis chapter presents to the generalist HRM reader a background to migration studies in order to understand the challenges and opportunities that labour mobility creates for organisations. Theoretical, empirical and historical tools are provided to interpret the context of contemporary labour migration from a critical perspective. Despite the growth of mobility and its greater significance at societal level, scholarship on this subject in HRM and cognate disciplines remains quantitatively and qualitatively limited. Here we employ an interdisciplinary approach, which highlights the social, gendered and multinational dimensions of labour mobility. This review affords a more realistic picture of migration patterns and possibly a better understanding of the demands it makes on organisations
Beyond Blame—Mens Rea and Regulatory Crime
No full textIn the first part of this Article, the Author briefly outlines the conceptual underpinnings of the common law approach to mens rea, with its blame focus, and the Supreme Court\u27s early efforts to develop a different approach in interpreting regulatory criminal statutes. The Author begins the second part of this Article with Lambert v. California, in which the Court staked out the constitutional limits for the employment of strict liability in public welfare or regulatory crimes, and, first employed notice-based mens rea. This part goes on to examine the ensuing cases in which the Court, at least implicitly, fleshes out the notice analysis that should guide the courts in deciding whether Congress intended strict liability or some level of mens rea in enacting regulatory criminal statutes. The Author concludes with Liparota v. United States, the case in which the Court departed from the emerging construct, which had distinguished blame-based and notice-based mens rea. This part then charts the doctrinal confusion that has resulted from this conflation of blame and notice in the Court\u27s mens rea analysis, confusion that is apparent not only in its own cases but also those of the circuit courts as they confront this vexatious problem

Fables d'Ésope
No full textFrom the original Favole published in 2011 by Topipittori in Milan. Here is a large-format (9 x 13¼) landscape -- rather than portrait -- book. I feel as though I have known it before, but I cannot find it in the database. The cover has a cat looking suspiciously around a table of fable characters, among whom is a stork dipping her beak deep into a tall glass. The back cover advertises correctly: Vingt fables amusantes, parfois cruelles, des plus connues aux plus surprenantes…. The illustrations are indeed provocative, starting with the first fable's dog sick from devouring a snail. Are we seeing his insides or the woods in which he found the snail? In FC, three foxes rejoice in carnival costume over the fresh piece of meat teased away from the crow, who holds his hands high in outrage. In DS, we can see the fish start to pick at the floating piece of meat. My favorite in the book is Prométhée et les hommes. Since animals outnumbered people, Zeus asked Prometheus to transform a number of the former into the latter. They have human form but bestial souls. Rea mixes human and animal faces nicely here. TMCM has the country rat, perched in a flower, turning his head toward a slightly open door. The cover pictures turns out to be a doubting illustration of the fable in which a just lion king has all the animals come together in peace. Rea suggests nicely that this plan may not work. I wonder why many fable books are published because they have little new to offer; I do not have that question about this excellent book!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: FrenchTraduit du grec ancien par Émile Chambr

Careers in Sports Science
No full textThis book is aimed at students who are currently studying sports science at undergraduate level or studying BTECs in sport or sport and exercise science. The purpose of the book is to answer the big question:
What do you do with a sports science degree?
It is common that students know that they want to work in sport and work with people but are not sure exactly what they can do. This can affect their motivation while they study as they have no clear goal to work towards.
Based on interviews with 20 people who work in sports related occupations this is designed to provide direction and guidance to enable students to make informed decisions about what they could do with their qualification. The case studies include people who work to support performance athletes, such as a sports nutritionist, sport psychologist, sports analyst, exercise physiologist and a strength and conditioning coach. Also included are cases studies of sports coaches, personal trainers and teachers as well as broader career options such as sports massage therapy, sports development and sports journalism and broadcasting. Many of the people chosen as case studies work with Olympic or professional athletes.
As part of the case studies the importance of developing personal skills needed to work with athletes and other people are discussed. These discussions form the basis of a key chapter about the personal skills needed to work in sporting environments that are often unpredictable, complex and challenging. There is also important advice on how personal skills can be developed whilst studying and what else you should do during your studies to make yourself more employable.
There is an introductory chapter on the options for students who want to study sports science, or similar courses, at degree level with a focus on whether A-level or BTEC qualifications will be more beneficial to them. This chapter also assesses the value of degree level study to an individual’s career. There is a concluding chapter that examines how to apply for jobs and prepare for interviews once you have gained your qualification.
The author, Simon Rea, has worked as a performance coach and personal trainer as well as teaching in both higher and further education for over 25 years. He is a senior fellow of the Higher Education Academy and has written or contributed significantly to 14 books related to sports science
Knowledge as a Mens Rea Requirement
No full textThe term knowledge is used to represent the mens rea requirement of various crimes. The common law concept of that term included both guilty belief and guilty avoidance of knowledge. The Model Penal Code, however, does not provide for the latter common law concept. Noting this omission, the author proposes an amendment to the Code that would allow for satisfaction of the mens rea element of an offense on the basis of a deliberate avoidance of knowledge

The determinants of project worker voice in project‐based organisations: An initial conceptualisation and research agenda
No full textThe growing projectification trend has brought to the forefront the importance of project-based organizing as a work mode and of project-based organizations as key employers. However, research in certain human resource management (HRM) areas (including voice) has been limited in PBOs, because of the decentralized and changing nature of HRM functions in these types of organizations. In dynamic project organizations, voice is highly important in recruitment, innovation, and improvement; it therefore has to be conceptualized systematically. To this end, we focus on project workers as the key employee group and conceptualize the determining system factors that shape their voice in project-based organizations. The conceptual framework is based on a systematic review of peer-reviewed articles and contributes to employee voice theory as a vehicle for the study of voice in temporary employment relationships
