New India Publishing Agency Advances in Harvest and Postharvest Technology of
Book SynopsisThe advancements made in the fisheries sector in India in recent years have been significant. Improvements in vessel refinements, new line materials, and line-handling systems, as well as the use of satellite technology to locate potential fishing grounds, have increased the fishing power of longline vessels. Additionally, post-harvest technology has evolved to become more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and capable of upgrading the quality of fish. The development of technology for post-harvest preservation and the conversion of fish to value-added products has also become popular in recent times, as fresh fish can spoil quickly. Value addition is crucial for obtaining high prices for fishery products. It is necessary to develop skilled human resources in the field of post-harvest management of fish and the production of value-added products. Vocational and entrepreneurial skills must be inculcated to widen employment opportunities, particularly among rural youth and disadvantaged sections of society, and to enable self-employment.

Peeters Publishers La Paix Clementine: Defaite Et Victoire Du
Book SynopsisEntre autres accomplissements remarquables, le pontificat de Giulio Rospigliosi, pape Clement IX (1667-1669), se signale par une initiative qui restaura pour plus de trente ans la paix dans l'Eglise de France en permettant la reconciliation de Port-Royal et des quatre eveques refractaires au Formulaire d'Alexandre VII: Henri Arnauld, Nicolas Pavillon, Etienne de Caulet, Nicolas Choart de Buzenval. Cette reconciliation s'est operee au terme de longues negociations entre le nonce en France Pietro Bargellini, le secretaire d'Etat Hugues de Lionne et trois mediateurs, l'archeveque de Sens et les eveques de Chalons et de Laon. Le present ouvrage constitue une tentative d'eclaircir et de preciser le contexte, les modalites, la chronologie, les peripeties et les enjeux de ces negociations. Les pieces inedites qu'il apporte illustrent notamment le role central joue dans l'ombre par Antoine Arnauld ainsi que le desarroi de l'autorite romaine devant la strategie mise en oeuvre par les jansenistes pour preserver sous une obeissance apparente l'essentiel des reserves doctrinales censurees dans leur chef par le Saint-Siege.

BIS Publishers B.V. The Service Innovation Handbook: Action-oriented
Book SynopsisThis is an action-oriented book for managers and entrepreneurs searching ways to tackle issues they face in terms of developing and delivering services. The book focuses on service organizations, but has a broad interpretation of what services are. Directed to the business world and combines inspirational text that is full of examples, with the features of a useful handbook of practical methods with associated templates. The central argument is that managers and entrepreneurs designing service offerings will benefit from using approaches and methods from design and the arts, especially at the early stages of projects. Sometimes called “design thinking” or “design innovation”, such approaches help organizations explore and create new configurations of people and things that support users, customers, staff and partners in creating value together. In short, this book argues that design and arts-based approaches are valuable to managers and entrepreneurs designing services, when uncertainty and ambiguity are high. It shows when and how to use these approaches, introduces specific methods, reviews their strengths and limitations, and finally helps managers think through what it takes to start using them in projects and within teams and develop the culture and behaviours that access the creativity they support.

United Nations Industrial development report 2020:
Book SynopsisThe emergence and diffusion of advanced digital production (ADP) technologies clustered around the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) is radically altering the nature of manufacturing production, increasingly blurring the boundaries between physical and digital production systems. The significant requirements of ADP technologies are opening questions on whether industrialization is still a feasible or even a desirable strategy to achieve economic development. This publication contributes to this debate by presenting fresh analytical and empirical evidence on the future of industrialization in the context of a technological paradigm shift. According to the report, it is by engaging with industrialization that countries can build and strengthen the skills and capabilities needed to compete and succeed within the new technological paradigm.

United Nations Industrial development report 2022: the future of
Book SynopsisThe global economy cannot fully recover from the COVID-19 pandemic unless internationally coordinated actions are taken, and the industrial sector must be central to these efforts. The COVID-19 crisis has demonstrated that manufacturing remains the backbone of our economies. Yet, it also shows the vulnerability of our production systems to sudden shocks. For recovery to take hold, it is critical to understand how the pandemic has affected the sector, and the prospects for the future of industrialization as economies worldwide continue to rebound and recover. The Industrial Development Report 2022 contributes to this discussion by providing evidence at the country, industry, and firm level and documents the impacts of the crisis, by examining the drivers of resilience and vulnerability in those same contexts. The main finding of this report is that industrial capabilities are a key driver of resilience. The industrial sector provides employment and income generation opportunities across the globe. During the pandemic, the sector ensured continuous access to essential goods and services for populations all over the world, including food, medical equipment, and pharmaceutical products. Indeed, this report reveals that countries with stronger manufacturing capabilities and more diversified industrial sectors have weathered both the economic and the sanitary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic better than their peers. Findings documented in the report strongly reaffirm the centrality of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9 (Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation, and foster innovation), which is at the core of UNIDO's mandate, to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

ISEAS Can Malaysia Eliminate Forced Labour by 2030?
Book SynopsisForced labour, encompassing various types of coercive practices and rights violations, is an entrenched problem in Malaysia. Recent years have seen more decisive and concerted efforts to resolve the problem and repair Malaysia's damaged reputation, but the country's forced labour woes escalated amid COVID-19, with exposés and trade embargoes in 2020–21.Most consequentially, the US has imposed withhold release orders (WROs) on major rubber glove manufacturers and palm oil producers. For two consecutive years, 2021–22, Malaysia has occupied the lowest Tier 3 in the US Trafficking in Persons report. In November 2021, the country's National Action Plan on Forced Labour (NAPFL), formulated through tripartite engagements with the participation of the International Labour Organization, was launched, with the third National Action Plan on Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP 3.0) operating in tandem.The NAPFL outlines strategies and integrated measures for eventually eliminating forced labour by 2030, which requires systemic solutions commensurate with the magnitude of underlying problems. Forced labour has persisted despite the official termination of labour outsourcing and increased intergovernmental bilateral initiatives to better manage foreign worker flows. Continual challenges in the labour supply industry and the administrative system, including the problematic overlapping powers of the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Human Resources, complicate the creation and implementation of a more just, effective and accountable migrant worker system.Government-to-government (G2) agreements, through Memorandum of Understanding, have become the established platform, but are marred by inconsistency and lack of transparency. The new government of Malaysia will need to address deep-seated issues and confront vested interests, domestically and in the labour source countries, to realize the aspiration of eliminating forced labour by 2030.

NUS Press The Business of Politics and Ethnicity: A History
Book SynopsisFounded in 1906, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry is a leading cultural and economic organization dedicated to promoting the interests of the Chinese business community. The first extended history of the Chamber, Sikko Visscher's ""The Business of Politics and Ethnicity"" describes its changing relationship with the state and with businesses in the region. Some of the wealthiest and most influential businessmen in Singapore and Malaysia have served as leaders of the Chamber. Drawing on archival materials and extensive interviews, Visscher provides lively biographical sketches to illustrate the circumstances and personal values that propelled these and other leading Chinese businessmen to success and to prominence. He also examines Chinese business practices, considering cultural elements as well as state and market forces, and highlights unique features of the Chinese experience in Singapore. By viewing Singapore from the perspective of a well established non-governmental organization as it struggled, negotiated, and cooperated with the state, this book offers an alternative to conventional political histories.

NUS Press Industrialization with a Weak State: Thailand's
Book SynopsisThis volume of collected essays by Somboon Siriprachai offers a critical assessment of Thai industrialisation with a focus on industrial policy, rent seeking and income inequality. An economist by training, Somboon saw the Thai state as authoritarian rather than developmental, and criticised the adoption of policies that were oriented toward increasing government revenue instead of nurturing industrial development. While these policies achieved growth, they did not strengthen Thailand's technological ability and industrial skills, or promote research and development. Somboon disputed the World Bank's classification of Thailand as a Newly Industrialising Economy (NIE), backing his argument with empirical evidence and comparisons with Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. The success of these East Asian countries, he suggested, rested on the competence of the state to direct the accumulation process rather than reliance on any particular strategy for industrialisation. Arguing that growth of industrial productivity is the key to a country's living standard and its ability to compete in the world market, he argued that government intervention was essential to successful late-comer industrialisation. Combining institutional economics with a historical perspective, Somboon's work provides a unique analysis of the transition of the Thai economy from around the mid-nineteenth century until 2000. His essays are a unique and valuable contribution not only to Thai studies but also to the study of economic development of late-comer countries and the role of the state in that process.

NUS Press Rubber Manufacturing in Malaysia: Resource-Based
Book SynopsisMalaysia’s rubber manufacturing sector is a prime example of an industry based on a locally produced agricultural resource. In Rubber Manufacturing in Malaysia, C.C. Goldthorpe draws on industrial policy theory along with many years of practical experience to examine the growth of rubber manufacturing in Malaysia. Over the past century, a series of technological discoveries resulted in the worldwide rise of a rubber production industry that manufactures tyres for motor vehicles, engineering components, household gloves and medical products. Goldthorpe argues that the production of rubber goods has played a significant part in the transformation of the country from primary commodity producer to newly industrialized economy, a position he supports by tracing the historical development of rubber-based industrial production and the effects of government policies promoting industrialization.Taken as a whole, the rubber industry is vertically integrated, with locally produced natural and synthetic rubbers used by the rubber manufacturing sector to produce latex products and general rubber goods for export markets.

Advantage Media Group All Physicians Lead
Book SynopsisLeadership is an integral part of what doctors do.All physicians lead, not just those with official leadership titles, such as CMO or Chief of Surgery. If leadership can be defined as influencing thought and behavior to achieve desired results, then clearly it isn't something physicians work toward only as a later-career goal. Leadership is a skillset physicians practice every day. Whether persuading a patient to stop smoking, a lab to return speedy results, or a surgical team to understand what needs to happen in the OR, physicians lead. Leadership is baked into the job.In fact, we already look to physicians as leaders. We expect them to make critical healthcare decisions, inspire treatment teams, influence patients' behaviors, communicate impeccably, and be exemplars of professional conduct. Few roles in society carry more built-in leadership expectations then that of physician.And yet, most physicians receive little focused training in leadership. While clini
