Book Synopsis Ponderings During the Pandemic by : Yvonne Hall
Download or read book Ponderings During the Pandemic written by Yvonne Hall and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time of the COVID-19 Pandemic was a time of quarantine and isolation for many people, causing much loneliness and sadness. As an Associate Minister and a member of a few ministries in my church, I felt led to try to bring some encouragement and inspiration to the members of these ministries. And so, with the aid and anointing of the Holy Spirit, I began frequently sending these short messages to the ministries via e-mail. Those messages have resulted in the compilation of this present work. They are my thoughts, reflections, musings, and meditations during the year-long period of quarantine, isolation and restrictions. However, the majority of these reflections are not merely my thoughts, but they are scripturally based, backed by the Word of God. Some of them may be considered Sermonettes. For example, let's take a look at one of the readings dated April 1, 2020 and entitled "In the Valley." Psalm 23:4 says "Yea though I walk through the valley and the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." Because of this Coronavirus (COVID-19), we are most certainly in a valley right now. Sickness and death are all around us. Nevertheless, the operative phrase in this verse is: "THROUGH THE VALLEY" with emphasis on the word, "THROUGH." Yes the situation seems dark right now; it's frightening and scary, but it's also temporary. We shall not stay in this valley. We can put our CONFIDENCE in the Lord of the valley, believe that He will lead us THROUGH this valley. Also, we are not alone in this valley, for the Lord of the valley is with us. He is our COMPANY-KEEPER, and if we can look away from the scary shadows and focus on the company-keeper, the author and finisher of our faith, He will keep us by His grace and mercy, and we know that His grace is sufficient, and His mercy endures forever. Finally, this verse not only gives us confidence and a company-keeper, but it promises COMFORT, and this comfort comes from the Lord of the valley's Rod and His staff--the Written Word and the Living Word. The Written Word (the Bible) with its promises of provision and protection is our source of comfort, and the Living Word, who is Jesus, our Shepherd, leads us THROUGH this valley. "Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He will strengthen our heart. WAIT, I SAY, ON THE LORD!" (Psalm 27:14). In April of 2020, many folk were becoming so anxious, so devastated, and actually fearful of what was happening, I was led to try to help people understand that they were not alone, and that they would get through it in God's time. Although, at this writing, we are almost completely through that valley, it is my prayer that these readings will continue to strengthen you and comfort you in any other "valley" you may find yourself going through.

Book Synopsis Higher Education - Reflections From the Field - Volume 3 by :
Download or read book Higher Education - Reflections From the Field - Volume 3 written by and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COVID wrought havoc on the world’s economic systems. Higher education did not escape the ravages brought on by the pandemic as institutions of higher education around the world faced major upheavals in their educational delivery systems. Some institutions were prepared for the required transition to online learning. Most were not. Whether prepared or not, educators rose to the challenge. The innovativeness of educators met the challenges as digital learning replaced the face-to-face environment. In fact, some of the distance models proved so engaging that many students no longer desire a return to the face-to-face model. As with all transitions, some things were lost while others were gained. This book examines practice in the field as institutions struggled to face the worst global pandemic in the last century. The book is organized into four sections on 'Changing Education”, 'Education in the Pandemic”, 'Sustaining University Education”, and 'Embracing the Future in a Global World”. It presents various perspectives from educators around the world to illustrate the struggles and triumphs of those facing new challenges and implementing new ideas to empower the educational process. These discussions shed light on the impact of the pandemic and the future of higher education post-COVID. Higher education has been forever changed, and higher education as it once was may never return. While many questions arise, the achievements in meeting and overcoming the pandemic illustrate the creativity and innovativeness of educators around the world who inspired future generations of learners to reach new heights of accomplishment even in the face of the pandemic.

They illustrate how the pandemic has affected businesses and anticipate the prospects for the Malaysian economy going forward.

More importantly, there are many lessons to be learned from the successes and failures in responding to the pandemic in this developing Southeast Asian economy.

Book Synopsis Fashion Industry Copes with Covid-19. A Legal, Technological and Sociological Reflection by : Marlena Jankowska
Download or read book Fashion Industry Copes with Covid-19. A Legal, Technological and Sociological Reflection written by Marlena Jankowska and published by Instytut Prawa Gospodarczego Sp. z o.o.. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic has halted the global economy and forced its reorganization on many levels. This phenomenon caused a shock, the effects of which will be felt for a long time both on the micro and macro scale. Creative industries, including the fashion and design industries (Textile, Clothing, Leather, and Footwear, TCLF) that are the subject of this publication, are struggling to maintain normal levels of production, employment, financial liquidity. They must additionally confront new challenges in the areas of intellectual property rights and their approach to the e-commerce world. Businesses found themselves faced with an uncertain future and new obstacles, but also with opportunities. These challenges now affect the traditionally fastpaced fashion sector, which has been driven for many years by consumers’ desire for ever more design and by the industry’s own thirst for profit. In the Polish perspective, it should also be borne in mind that, according to the report of PKO Bank Polski in 2019, the clothing industry in Poland showed an upward trend, ranking the country in 8th place in Europe by size of the clothing sector in 2017. As for the entrepreneurs making clothing, in 2017 there were 12,700 of them, placing Poland third in Europe. Finally, for employment, in the same year in Poland, 85,000 were employed in the clothing sector, which was the 5th place in the European ranking. These statistics clearly demonstrate why this sector requires closer analysis in these changed times, including a refreshed SWOT analysis taking account of the new reality. Given this situation, the Center for Design, Fashion and Advertising Law of the University of Silesia initiated research to determine how the clothing sector in Poland is coping and how the legal environment interacts with the Covid challenges. Thanks to a joint effort of scientists and legal practitioners, this publication was created consisting of 39 chapters grouped into the following 12 parts: Social and legal context, International and regulatory context, Product safety, Contracts, Copyright law, Design law and trademark law, Technology law, Unfair competition law, Labour law, Fine arts market, Sustainable Development, E-commerce. The editors would like to thank all of the authors for their efforts examining the development trends in the TCLF sector and for contributing the immeasurable amounts of energy and understanding that allowed us to complete this project. This book is the result of the authors’ significant commitment. Editors would like to give special thanks to Śląski Holding Przemysłowy that shared the company’s expertise about their two large industrial production plants employing over 500 employees, which kept working in a continuous operation system, without a single case of infection by COVID-19. We are grateful to the institutions that undertook honorary patronage of our initiative. Words of thanks go also to the strategic, content and media partners. The premiere of the publication will take place in conjunction with a music premiere, details of which can be found on the cover.
Book Synopsis Fighting the First Wave by : Peter Baldwin
Download or read book Fighting the First Wave written by Peter Baldwin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-18 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COVID-19 is the biggest public health and economic disaster of our time. It has posed the same threat across the globe, yet countries have responded very differently and some have clearly fared much better than others. Peter Baldwin uncovers the reasons why in this definitive account of the global politics of pandemic. He shows that how nations responded depended above all on the political tools available - how firmly could the authorities order citizens' lives and how willingly would they be obeyed? In Asia, nations quarantined the infected and their contacts. In the Americas and Europe they shut down their economies, hoping to squelch the virus's spread. Others, above all Sweden, responded with a light touch, putting their faith in social consensus over coercion. Whether citizens would follow their leaders' requests and how soon they would tire of their demands were crucial to hopes of taming the pandemic.
Book Synopsis Reflections on the Complexities of the Covid-19 Pandemic by : Shadrack B. Ramokgadi
Download or read book Reflections on the Complexities of the Covid-19 Pandemic written by Shadrack B. Ramokgadi and published by African Sun Media. This book was released on 2022-12-31 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an original and timeous snapshot of contemporary lines of argument from various authors in the Global South on the Covid-19 pandemic as a complex emergency at the height of the pandemic. At the time of writing, there were various levels of uncertainties from different countries, citizens, the public and private sectors, industries and economies who were in disarray. The book traces the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic in the province of Wuhan in China, the challenges, and the responses from a multiplicity of countries particularly from the Global South. Of particular importance, the book notes that vaccine uncertainty, limiting the spread of the virus and loss of life and employment, were some of the major challenges that these governments and citizens were confronted with. Also, the sizes of various economies lead to various challenges that the abovementioned governments shouldered. The contributors shed light on various aspects related to the Covid-19 pandemic from various countries in the Global South and include, but were not limited to securitised lockdowns, the use of militaries and complete closures of national (and sometimes fragile) economies, as well as overburdened health systems. These are just some dire consequences of Covid-19 on the public and private sector, industries and economy. The book emphasises that despite myriad challenges reported, there are various lessons that can be learnt in terms of how the countries responded to the pandemic, and in terms of how future pandemics can be handled. Finally, this is an interesting piece of work wherein contributors, as a collective, seek to shed light with regards to the unique perspectives from the Global South and at the same time give some guidance, related to their specific areas of focus.
Book Synopsis Matthew Spinka, Howard Kaminsky, and the Future of the Medieval Hussites by : Thomas A. Fudge
Download or read book Matthew Spinka, Howard Kaminsky, and the Future of the Medieval Hussites written by Thomas A. Fudge and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hussite movement is essential for understanding medieval Europe and the development of Western civilization. Matthew Spinka and Howard Kaminsky stand at the forefront of scholarship introducing this subject to the Anglophone world. Thomas A. Fudge argues their role in the religious historiography of late medieval Europe is a precursor to global medievalism. Combining commitment to the Christian faith with firm opposition to the Soviet-mandated Marxist-Communist ideology that dominated twentieth-century Czechoslovakia, Spinka strove to present Jan Hus as a medieval figure driven by religious devotion. Motivated by Jewish atheism and a modified form of Marxist analysis, Kaminsky rescued the medieval Hussites from oblivion and political agendas. Fudge explores biography, history, and historiography as an essential intellectual segue between medieval Hussites and modern scholarship. Matthew Spinka, Howard Kaminsky, and the Medieval Hussites considers biography, evaluates the work of both historians, elaborates their methods, assesses their interpretations, and analyzes their historiographical significance for the study of Hussite history.
Book Synopsis A Uro-Oncology Nurse Specialist’s Reflection on her Practice Journey by : Beverley Anderson
Download or read book A Uro-Oncology Nurse Specialist’s Reflection on her Practice Journey written by Beverley Anderson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a unique insight and background of a uro-oncology nurse’s career from a personal and professional perspective, one that encapsulates the ever changing dynamics in the nursing profession over 40 years - 1970’s to current, 2022. In writing this book, the objective is to devise a beneficial point of reference, one that is conducive to enlightening individuals within the healthcare profession and the wider context, on the art of reflection and acknowledging its benefits in terms of exploring their feelings and understanding their meaning. Reflection is a highly beneficial tool. In this context, the process enables the author to reflect constructively on her nursing career and practice, to highlight the positive as well as the negative aspects within that practice, and illustrate how the experiences gained have contributed to her development, personally and professionally, throughout that journey. Reflection includes deliberate reflection on experience, emotions, actions and responses and acknowledging how essential these have been to informing the author’s existing knowledge base and in ensuring a higher level of learning and understanding. In the continued quest to deliver optimal healthcare, the objective of reflection is in enabling healthcare individuals e.g. nursing students, newly qualified nurses or those considering change of nursing speciality, to better understand their patients from a holistic standpoint (physical, psychological, psycho-social, spiritual, cultural and economic) and ultimately, improving the individual patient’s overall experience – cancer or otherwise, as well as improving and enhancing practice outcomes. The importance of reflection and its contribution to increasing the healthcare professional’s self-awareness – emotional, personal and professional, is also well underlined. Various Modules and Case Studies within the book are used to explain and highlight key issues, and to enhance content and visual acuity.
Book Synopsis International Environmental Law Compliance in Context by : Belen Olmos Giupponi
Download or read book International Environmental Law Compliance in Context written by Belen Olmos Giupponi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how compliance with international environmental law has changed over time, offering a critical analysis of its current shifting patterns. Beginning with an overview of compliance with international environmental law, the book goes on to explore in detail: compliance in the different legal regimes instituted by Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), the addition of new subjects of international law, the legal relations between developed and developing countries, and the emergence of new compliance mechanisms in global environmental law. The analysis takes two key developments into consideration: the evolution in forms of compliance and non-state involvement in compliance with international environmental law. In the final section, three case studies are provided to demonstrate how these changes have occurred in selected areas: climate change, biodiversity and water resources. Throughout the book, topics are illustrated with extracts from specific international environmental law jurisprudence and relevant international environmental law instruments. In doing so, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of compliance with international environmental law, providing original insights and following a clear and systematic structure supported by reference to the sources. This book will be of interest to professionals, academics and students working in the field of compliance with international environmental law.
Book Synopsis Practicing Critical Reflection in Social Care Organisations by : Jan Fook
Download or read book Practicing Critical Reflection in Social Care Organisations written by Jan Fook and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores concrete examples of different strategies and activities aimed at creating and embedding critically reflective learning and working environments within organisations whose prime function is social care. Critical reflection has long been recommended as a general professional skill and is a core component of the practice capabilities in social work in countries across the Western world. However, despite unequivocal support for it in social work education, sustaining critical reflection within organisations as both an individual and collective practices, supported by organisational cultures, is problematic. With contributions from social work practitioners and educators who have sought to embed critical reflection into broader activities and cultures within their organizations, the book addresses common features of critical reflection, and challenges and benefits in specific case studies. This book will inspire and develop new thinking and vision about being critically reflective in organisations, and facilitate efforts to improve the learning and working experience in addition to that of service quality and delivery. It will be required reading for all undergraduate and postgraduate social work modules focusing on management, leadership organizational change, and professional education.

Book Synopsis Pandemic Health and Fitness by : Sabina M. Perrino
Download or read book Pandemic Health and Fitness written by Sabina M. Perrino and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-13 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book adopts an innovative approach in exploring the evolution of fitness practices among a community of gym goers amid a global pandemic, considering its impact on the interplay of the words, habits, and relationships gym goers use in realizing their aspirations of wellness and well-being. Perrino and Reno introduce a multilayered framework which combines insights from linguistic and sociocultural anthropology, integrating narrative analysis, discourse analysis, and ethnography, with autoethnography. This approach allows for a holistic portrait of the gym as a research site and of fitness as a fruitful area for dynamic cross-disciplinary study. The volume explores how the COVID-19 pandemic has shaped attitudes and practices around fitness, drawing on audio and video recordings and the authors’ lived experiences to analyze everything from workout choreography to micro-celebrity fitness culture to group classes. The book raises key questions around what it means to be well amid a pandemic, the practical dangers of realizing fitness goals in such times, the effects on the social relationships inherent to gym culture, and the impact on identity construction and self-reflection. This volume will appeal to scholars interested in the interdisciplinary study of fitness, in such areas as linguistic anthropology, sociocultural anthropology, health humanities, and sport studies.
