Lecciones Y Practicas De Seguridad Social Adaptadas Al Eees

This volume analyses the most important problems and challenges that health, age and the environment introduce in the labour market, and how these factors affect both the way people work and their rights. The contributions here focus on the main challenges for social security systems, lawmakers and trade unions, and provide important solutions to improve workers’ rights and guarantee the viability of public social security systems. Other topics analysed here include dress-codes and whistleblowing in companies. From the labour point of view, workers’ representatives and trade unions must take action in collective bargaining to deal with these topics and adequately protect the workforce. The authors here are drawn from countries such as Hungary, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Poland, Brazil and Colombia, providing a global perspective. The book will appeal to lawyers, legal and human resources experts, economists, judges, academics and staff from trade unions and employers’ representation. The volume features insights and contributions in different languages, with chapters in Spanish (13), English (7) and Portuguese (2).

Con las Lecciones de Seguridad Social pretendemos ofrecer a los estudiantes de este ordenamiento un planteamiento global y completo en un único texto, de todo el contenido del sistema de la Seguridad Social de nuestro país. El objetivo es presentar de una manera lo más sistematizada posible, todo el conjunto normativo. Teniendo en cuenta que esta obra está dirigida fundamentalmente (pero no en exclusiva) a los estudiantes de asignaturas jurídicas vinculadas al ordenamiento social, se ha realizado un esfuerzo para hacer una exposición clara y sintética del funcionamiento de la Seguridad Social: de sus distintos niveles de protección, contributivo y no contributivo; de los diferentes Regímenes y de los aspectos comunes que unen a los mismos. Además, se ha planteado por los autores facilitar una mayor autonomía a los alumnos en el estudio de esta materia; añadiendo a cada uno de los temas casos prácticos y cuestionarios de evaluación que permitirán al alumno saber si el nivel de conocimiento es o no adecuado y óptimo. Aún cuando estamos ante una obra destinada al estudio, también se ha realizado un análisis más profundo, que puede resultar útil a quienes practican en esta área del Derecho. En este sentido todas las lecciones cuentan con una importante carga jurisprudencial, tanto aquellas Sentencias que han marcado el devenir de la jurisprudencia, como aquellas otras que son más recientes. No podríamos dejar de advertir que los autores y la editorial han realizado para esta primera edición un esfuerzo suplementario, pues se ha incorporado al texto las novedades generadas por la Ley 27/2011, de 1 de agosto, sobre actualización, adecuación y modernización del sistema de Seguridad Social. En realidad dicha regulación no implica necesariamente un cambio radical inmediato, pues el legislador ha previsto que su entrada en vigor se realice el 1 de enero de 2013.

We make choices all the time - about trivial matters, about how to spend our money, about how to spend our time, about what to do with our lives. And we are also constantly judging the decisions other people make as rational or irrational. But what kind of criteria are we applying when we say that a choice is rational? What guides our own choices, especially in cases where we don't have complete information about the outcomes? What strategies should be applied in making decisions which affect a lot of people, as in the case of government policy? This book explores what it means to be rational in all these contexts. It introduces ideas from economics, philosophy, and other areas, showing how the theory applies to decisions in everyday life, and to particular situations such as gambling and the allocation of resources. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

"Service-learning : engineering in your community, second edition, links design methodology and engineering analysis to the socially beneficial application of engineering principles. Authors Marybeth Lima and William C. Oakes emphasize the importance of reflection, teaming skills, project management, communications, and ethics, carefully considering the integral roles that they play in the process of engineering for the common good."--Publisher's website.

The success of Problem Based Learning and Project Organised learning (PBL) as an educational method in the field of Higher Engineering Education is clear and beyond any doubt.

Features thirty teachers and researchers who share their reflections on the practice of the problem-based and project-organised teaching model (PBL), which has been applied in the faculties of Engineering and Science, Humanities, and Social Science at Aalborg University since 1974.

This report reviews engineering's importance to human, economic, social and cultural development and in addressing the UN Millennium Development Goals. Engineering tends to be viewed as a national issue, but engineering knowledge, companies, conferences and journals, all demonstrate that it is as international as science. The report reviews the role of engineering in development, and covers issues including poverty reduction, sustainable development, climate change mitigation and adaptation. It presents the various fields of engineering around the world and is intended to identify issues and challenges facing engineering, promote better understanding of engineering and its role, and highlight ways of making engineering more attractive to young people, especially women.--Publisher's description.
