Local government plays a critical role in the provision of governance, infrastructure, and services for local communities. Over the past 30 years this sector has undergone significant reforms because of various superordinate governments policy changes. Continuous improvement and quality programs have been a common tactical response undertaken by various local government organisations to remain sustainable and to continue to deliver value to their local communities. These tactical responses have had varying levels of success. This book seeks to go beyond a tactical focus and uncover the kinds of continuous improvement practices that are enacted in various local government contexts. A focus on...
The activities carried out in a business organization stem from the contribution of subjects who cooperate in the expectation of obtaining adequate rewards. The ability of organisations to reach a specific level of performance is influenced by the ownership structure, while the management is directed and controlled through a set of rules and incentives. This set regulates the distribution of rights and responsibilities among the board, company management and stakeholders, and it defines the corporate governance model adopted by the organization. The collapse of global organisations across the world have undoubtedly revealed the inherent flaws in the contemporary corporate governance practice...

Mechanics is an important topic in the study of Physics, and is being taught in most of the universities in India as well as abroad to B.Sc., B.Tech and B.Sc. Hons students. This area of science deals with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. Mechanics has origin in the ancient period. Scientists such as Galileo, Kepler and Newton laid the foundation of classical mechanics, which deals with the particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. Fundamentals of Mechanics discusses the Vectors, Laws of Motion, Conservation Laws, Inverse-Square-Law Forces, Harmonic Oscillator, Theory of Relativity, Non-inertial Reference Frames. Each topic is explained in a simple language and with the help of line drawings and exercises. Mathematical expressions are given as per need and are derived in a systematic and simple manner.
In science and engineering, use of computers is indispensable. The computers are often used for numerical calculations of mathematical expressions. Use of the C and C++ languages is nowadays popular among the students of Science and Engineering. This book discusses numerical techniques: Interpolation, Differentiation, Integration, Roots of Equation, Simultaneous Linear Equations, Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors, Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Random Numbers, Statistical Parameters, and the Error Analysis. For these techniques, the computer programs are written separately by using the C and C++ languages. One of the policies followed in this book has been to discuss each technique by solving an exercise with the help of calculator and then developing the computer program.
This book presents the proceedings of the International Conference on Recent Trends in Materials and Devices, which was conceived as a major contribution to large-scale efforts to foster Indian research and development in the field in close collaboration with the community of non-resident Indian researchers from all over the world. The research articles collected in this volume - selected from among the submissions for their intrinsic quality and originality, as well as for their potential value for further collaborations - document and report on a wide range of recent and significant results for various applications and scientific developments in the areas of Materials and Devices. The technical sessions covered include photovoltaics and energy storage, semiconductor materials and devices, sensors, smart and polymeric materials, optoelectronics, nanotechnology and nanomaterials, MEMS and NEMS, as well as emerging technologies.
The International Conference on Emerging Socio-cultural and Political Issues: India and Europe is organised by Amity Institute of Social Sciences, Amity University, Noida, Uttar Pradesh in collaboration with Jean Monnet Module and Centre for European Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University on May 24-25, 2021.The aim of the conference is to develop an understanding of the dynamics of social change and Development taking place in European and Indian society. Both India and Europe are taking firm strides towards cooperation and development specially in the post- pandemic era. In this context the conference aims in developing on working new path for structuring and building new vision and ideas for strong partnership between the two. The main objective of the Conference is to deliver new understanding of various issues ranging from society, culture, politics and environment. It shall look into these issues from a different prism in the post pandemic era.
