Human Well-Being and Economic Goals (Frontier Issues in Economic Thought, Vol 3)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: What are the ends of economic activity? According to neoclassical theory, efficient interaction of the profit-maximizing `ideal producer` and the utility-maximizing `ideal consumer` will eventually lead to some sort of social optimum. But is that social optimum the same as human well-being? Human Well-Being and Economic Goals addresses that issue, considering such questions as: Does the maximization of individual welfare really lead to social welfare? How can we deal with questions of relative welfare and of equity? How do we define, or at least understand, individual and social welfare? And how can these things be measured, or even assessed? Human Well-Being and Economic Goals brings together more than 75 concise summariesof the most significant literature in the field that consider issues of present and future individual and social welfare, national development, consumption, and equity. Like its predecessors in the Frontier Issues in Economic Thought… [detailed...]

Human Work Interaction Design: Designing for Human Work: The first IFIP TC 13.6 WG Conference: Designing for Human Work, February 13-15, 2006, Madeira, … Federation for Informati

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book records the very first Working Conference of the newly established IFIP Working Group on Human-Work Interaction Design, which was hosted by the University of Madeira in 2006. The theme of the conference was on synthesizing sketches within different approaches to analysis and design of human-work interaction. Authors were encouraged to submit papers about design sketches- for interfaces, for organizations of work, etc. - that they themselves had worked on. During the conference, they presented the lessons they had learned from the design and evaluation process, citing reasons for why the designs worked or why they did not work. In this way, researchers, designers, and analysts confronted concrete design problems in complex work domains and used this unique opportunity to share their own design problems and solutions.

Human and Animal Relationships (The Mycota)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Pathogenic fungi are widely distributed and can infect many organisms, particularly humans, but also other vertebrates and insects. Due to a growing number of fungal infections, there is an increasing need to understand the interaction of pathogenic fungi with their hosts. This second completely updated and revised edition of Volume VI of The Mycota consists of state of the art reviews written by experts in the field, covering three major areas of this rapidly developing field. In the first part the current understanding of pathogenic fungi and the physiological reactions relevant for the pathogen - host interaction are elucidated. The second part describes novel technologies for the identification of proteins, virulence factors and mechanisms central to the host - pathogen interaction. The third part deals with the characterization of the host response towards pathogenic fungi and addresses timely clinical aspects. [detailed...]

Human, all too human

2009 y.
Publisher: General Books LLC
Description: Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: THE RELIGIOUS LIFE. The Double Contest Against Evil.—If an evil afflicts us we can either so deal with it as to remove its cause or else so deal with it that its effect upon our feeling is changed, hence look upon the evil as a benefit of which the uses will perhaps first become evident in some subsequent period. Religion and art (and also the metaphysical philosophy) strive to effect an alteration of the feeling, partly by an alteration of our judgment respecting the experience (for example, with the aid of the dictum `whom God loves, he chastizes`) partly by the awakening of a joy in pain, in emotion especially (whence the art of tragedy had its origin). The more one is disposed to interpret away and justify, the less likely he is to look directly at the causes of evil and eliminate them. An instant… [detailed...]

Humane Economics: Essays in Honor of Don Lavoie (New Thinking in Political Economy)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `This book highlights Don Lavoie`s multidisciplinary approach to the study of economics. In his view, economics is closer to the humanities than to the hard sciences, notwithstanding the claim often made in the literature that economics is indeed `a hard science`. True to Lavoie`s vision, the book contains theoretical articles and case studies which link economics to several fields of study. It is a delight to see emphasis placed on the `hows and whys` underlying market processes.` - Alan A. Rabin, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, US `The authors do well-merited honor to Don Lavoie with carefully written contributions that not only are excellent for a memorial volume but could constitute a selection of outstanding journal articles. They tie together Lavoie`s many superficially different interests in, among others, comparative economic systems, market processes, computer programming, and epistemology. In particular, they emphasize how markets and prices enhance … [detailed...]

Humanizing Information Technology: Advice from Experts (IT Solutions series)

Description: With the alarming rate of information technology changes over the past two decades, it is not unexpected that there is an evolution of the human side of IT that has forced many organizations to rethink their strategies in dealing with the human side of IT. People, just like computers, are main components of any information systems. And just as successful organizations must be willing to upgrade their equipment and facilities, they must also be alert to changing their viewpoints on various aspects of human behavior. New and emerging technologies result in human behavior responses which must be addressed with a view toward developing better theories about people and IT. IT Solutions Series: Humanizing IT: Advice from Experts brings out a variety of views expressed by practitioners from corporate and public settings, who offer their experiences in dealing with the human byproduct of IT.
