Based on empirical research, theoretical frameworks and practice examples, this book presents a deep dive into the topic of transformational leadership. In particular, it investigates whether participants in transformational leader courses will practice more potent transformation leader qualities after completion of the courses than before. It examines which elements of leadership development can describe what happens in this intervention, as well as whether there is any covariation between transformation leadership and Sternberg's learning style, and the role that a coach plays in the development of transformational leadership.

Labor and Supply Chain Networks
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031208544 | 322 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 17 MB
The COVID-19 pandemic has vividly and dramatically demonstrated the importance of supply chains to the functioning of societies and our economies. The discussion in this timely book explores prominent issues concerning supply chain networks and labor. The readership is aimed to include students, researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers, interested in the wide range of topics presented in these pages. Labor has a particular focus as the driver behind supply chains, whether associated with food products, life-saving medicines and supplies, or high tech products that make innovation possible, just to name a few. The impacts of policy interventions, in the form of wage bounds, and their ramifications, in terms of volume of attracted labor, product prices, product volumes, as well as profits, are explored. Profit-maximizing firms are considered (with relevant associated issues such as waste management in the case of the food sector, for example), but also non-profits, as in blood services, as well as humanitarian organizations engaged in disaster relief. The book is filled with many network figures, graphs, and tables with data, both input and output and includes an appendix that provides the foundations of the underlying mathematical methodologies used.

Tong King Lee, "Kongish "
English | ISBN: 1009281135 | 2022 | 92 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This Element introduces Kongish as a translingual and multimodal urban dialect emerging in Hong Kong in recent years and still in the making. Through the lens of translanguaging and linguistic commodification, and using the popular Facebook page Kongish Daily as a case in point, the study outlines the semiotic profile of Kongish. It examines how Kongish communications draw on a full range of performative resources, thriving on social media affordances and a creative-critical ethos. The study then turns to look at how Kongish is commoditized in a marketing context in the form of playful epithets emplaced on locally designed products, demonstrating how the urban dialect is not merely a niche medium of communication on social media, but has become integral to commercial, profit-driven practices. The Element concludes by challenging the proposition that Kongish must be considered a 'variety' of English, arguing instead that it is an innominate term embodying translanguaging-in-action.
Knowledge Representation: Logical, Philosophical, and Computational Foundations By John F. Sowa
1999 | 512 Pages | ISBN: 0534949657 | PDF | 61 MB
John Sowa integrates logic, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science into this study of knowledge and its various models and implementations. His definitive new book shows how techniques of artificial intelligence, database design, and object-oriented programming help make knowledge explicit in a form that computer systems can use. The first three chapters are devoted to logic, ontology, and computable models of reality. Remaining chapters apply theories to the analysis of problems stated in ordinary language, and their translation to computable form. The text is self-contained, with each new idea defined when first mentioned; all formalism is developed in the body of the text or summarized in an appendix. Knowledge Representation is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, as well as philosophy and linguistics students with some background in artificial intelligence or programming.
Malcolm Scott, "Killing a Kiwi in Thailand: The Pattaya Puppy Dog Murder"
English | ISBN: 1718101252 | 2018 | 241 pages | EPUB | 252 KB
Killing a Kiwi in Thailand is the true story of three Western expats who decided to swap living in Bali for residing in resort city of Pattaya, Thailand. Tragedy then struck when one of the expats became involved in an argument with a murderous couple in a roadside bar. The true story originates in Bali where the expats meet at an illegal card game held by a fugitive from the law and a struggling writer trying to survive living in a foreign country. Then along with another Australian, they help a naive but extroverted Kiwi escape from an abusive marriage to an overbearing Balinese wife. The expats then travel from Bali to the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, and eventually to Bangkok and the seaside resort town of Pattaya. They plan to live, work and party in the city, and to travel to other parts of South East Asia. One night, Kiwi Robert Hollick goes out for a walk in Pattaya with his six month old Shar-pei puppy dog on a lead. He then becomes involved in a random argument with a Swedish man and his Thai girlfriend. Then after walking away from the confrontation, he is ambushed and murdered in a Pattaya street. Malcolm Scott is woken in his Jontiem apartment by a phone call warning him that his friend has been beaten up. He races to Pattaya City with a small group of friends to find him, and in horrific circumstances, the small group discover he is already dead. The group are then summoned to a meet and greet with the accused murderer on the same night their friend has been stabbed to death. They watch on horrified as the caged and blood soaked killer is paraded in front of them like some type of macabre trophy. The man charged with the crime then pleads guilty to manslaughter in order to have the charges against his Thai wife dropped. He then posts bail, and he requests permission of a judge to fly back to Sweden for family reasons. Malcolm Scott and his friends try to stop the killer escaping from Thailand using intelligence supplied to them by an English lawyer with contacts in the judiciary. However, the information they supply to the New Zealand Embassy is largely ignored and generally dismissed as gossip. The accused skips bail, but after a request by Thai Interpol he is arrested in Sweden and sent to trial. Unfortunately the witnesses are unable to attend, and he receives an eighteen month sentence for the savage, unprovoked, and random killing of a Kiwi in Thailand. Killing a Kiwi in Thailand is the true story of author Malcolm Scott's best friend's murder and how the couple accused of the crime managed to escape justice.
