Elaborating Professionalism: Studies in Practice and Theory
by Clive KanesWhat are the future possibilities for the standing of professional practice as it faces growingly problematic markets for services, complex demands for managerial accountability and control, and problematic circumstances and expectations in its ethical and self-regulative governance? New sources of inspiration may be needed if professionalism is to be either a viable or desirable form for the social organisation of work in the coming years of potentially deep economic and social change. Set in the UK, South Africa, Australia and the USA, the empirical studies included elaborate problematic situations of professional practice concerning issues of identity and knowledge. The theoretical studies explore the notion of generic processes; elaborate the plurality of notions of professional practice; theorise the hybridisation witnessed in inter-professional and cross-disciplinary team work; and outline new theoretical departures relating to these. Elaborating professionalism also raises important methodological issues relating to professionalism as ethical practice. The book offers valuable resources to enrich practice, and provokes thought and new ideas about professionalism.
Elasticity and Toughness: Ethnography of Minban Teachers’ Policy Implementation in Rural Chinese Society (China Perspectives)
by Feng WeiThis book examines minban teacher policies and their implementation in China between 1949 and 2000, when rural areas were in severe shortage of qualified teachers. During this period of time, minban teachers made great contributions to education, doing the same work as state-employed school teachers while receiving much lower salaries due to non-official status. With solid fieldwork on oral history of minban teachers and policy actors and deep examination of a wealth of policy documents in private and governmental archives, the author records the life history of minban teachers, the process of minban teacher policies, and the interaction between policies and individual strategies in M county (pseudonym), located in northern Jiangsu province of China. The book reveals many interesting and sometimes surprising findings about the characteristics of educational policy implementation in China. While China’s minban teacher policies have come to an end, rural education continues to be a major concern of policymakers and researchers alike. The book is an important piece of scholarship for the readers interested in rural education in China, and in how state, society, and culture interact to influence teacher policies and management in the Chinese context.
Elastizität organisieren: Formen und Funktionen von Stellvertretungen in Organisationen (Organisationssoziologie)
by Martin VogelWozu Stellvertretung in Organisationen? – diese Frage ist trivial: Schließlich ist jede/r einmal krank oder im Urlaub. Wenn dann niemand einspringen kann, kann das weitreichende Folgen haben. Wozu also noch diese Studie? – Weil die Frage trivial ist bzw. weil es interessant ist zu beobachten, wie es (in) einem gegebenen Kontext gelingt, ein Phänomen so erscheinen zu lassen, als sei es trivial. Dieser Band leistet einerseits einen Beitrag zum Verständnis von Stellvertretung in Organisationen: die Klärung des Begriffs, die Einordnung von Stellvertretung als organisationale Struktur und die Ermittlung ihrer Funktionen. Zum anderen unterstützt Martin Vogel die Forderung, systemtheoretische Forschung „empiriefähiger“ zu machen und stellt hierfür eine Forschungsheuristik zur Diskussion. Der Titel „Elastizität organisieren“ rückt ein Konzept Niklas Luhmanns ins Zentrum. Mit Hilfe ihrer Stellen können Organisationen auf sich ändernde Umweltbedingungen reagieren, indem sie Stellen neu schaffen, umwidmen, einsparen oder von Beginn an „ambivalent“ programmieren. Das Buch stellt Stellvertretungen als Beispiel dieser „Ambivalenzstrategie“ vor: Auf der Rückseite ihrer trivialen Funktion dienen sie als voraussetzungsvolle „elastische“ Lösung für vielfältige organisationale Probleme.Elastizität zu organisieren ist kein triviales Geschäft.

Elección: Vida o Muerte
by Dr Helena Pensacola“… Pablo comenzó a amonestarlos, y les dijo:“ Varones, percibo que el viaje ciertamente será con daños y grandes pérdidas, no solo del cargamento y del barco, sino también de nuestras vidas ”. Pero el centurión fue más persuadido por el piloto y el capitán del barco que por lo que Pablo estaba diciendo ... Pablo se paró en medio de ellos y dijo: “Hombres, deberían haber seguido mi consejo y no haber zarpó de Creta e incurrió en este daño y pérdida… ”(Hechos 27: 9-21 NASB). * “… Pablo comenzó a amonestarlos…” como portavoz del corazón de Dios (Hechos 27: 9 NASB). La PALABRA de Dios fue escrita para nuestra amonestación y advertencia. "... Todas estas cosas les sucedieron como ejemplos: y están escritas para nuestra amonestación (advertencia) ..." (1 Corintios 10:11 RV). Dios envía Boquillas para su PALABRA para aconsejar y enseñar a su pueblo sobre ELEGIR el camino correcto. "... Todas las cosas que se escribieron antes, para nuestra enseñanza se escribieron, a fin de que por la paciencia y la consolación de las Escrituras tengamos esperanza ..." (Romanos 15: 4). “… Pablo se puso de pie en medio de ellos y dijo:“ Hombres, deberían haber seguido mi consejo… ”(Hechos 27:21 NASB). “… La ley del SEÑOR es perfecta, restaura el alma; El testimonio del SEÑOR es seguro, que hace sabio al simple. Los preceptos del SEÑOR son rectos, alegran el corazón; El mandamiento del SEÑOR es puro, ilumina los ojos. El temor de Jehová es limpio, perdurable para siempre; Los juicios del SEÑOR son verdaderos; todos son justos. Son más deseables que el oro, sí, que mucho oro fino; Más dulce también que la miel y las gotas del panal. Además, por ellos tu siervo es advertido. Al guardarlos hay gran recompensa… ”(Salmo 19: 7-11 NASB). “… Pablo… dijo“… debiste haber seguido mi consejo… ”(Hechos 27:21 NASB). Pablo era un portavoz dado por Dios y había
