Curtain Wall Systems - - Bog - American Society of Civil Engineers - Plusbog.dk

Curtain Wall Systems: A Primer provides a comprehensive introduction to the use of curtain wall systems in building envelopes. Today’s curtain wall systems go beyond the basic functions of providing natural lighting and protecting the building interior from the external environment. These systems now are expected to conserve energy and ensure occupant comfort by controlling heat flow and solar radiation. Moreover, curtain wall systems must be designed for acceptable performance under natural disasters and human-made hazards. The design, fabrication, construction, and maintenance of advanced and efficient curtain wall systems demand the involvement of professionals from several fields of engineering and building technology. This Manual of Practice compiles a basic review of the many aspects of curtain wall systems that affect their design and performance. It highlights the materials used to manufacture curtain walls for low-rise to high-rise construction and describes different types of tests, mockups, and inspections. Methods of improving the energy performance, waterproofing, and wind loading of curtain walls are assessed. Specialised aspects of curtain wall design and analysis for extreme events, such as earthquake and bomb blast, are explored. Innovative façade design and new curtain wall and glazing systems are covered as well. MOP 126 is written for architects, structural engineers, HVAC engineers, general contractors, building owners, and building operators who are new to curtain wall systems and want to learn more about this specialised and emerging field. Prepared by the Committee on Curtain Wall Systems of the Architectural Engineering Institute of ASCE.

Hadrian's Wall - Richard Hingley - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Hadrian's Wall - Richard Hingley - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

In Hadrian''s Wall: A Life, Richard Hingley addresses the post-Roman history of this world-famous ancient monument. Constructed on the orders of the emperor Hadrian during the 120s AD, the Wall was maintained for almost three centuries before ceasing to operate as a Roman frontier during the fifth century. The scale and complexity of Hadrian''s Wall makes it one of the most important ancient monuments in the British Isles. It is the most well-preserved of the frontier works that once defined the Roman Empire. While the Wall is famous as a Roman construct, its monumental physical structure did not suddenly cease to exist in the fifth century. This volume explores the after-life of Hadrian''s Wall and considers the ways it has been imagined, represented, and researched from the sixth century to the internet. The sixteen chapters, illustrated with over 100 images, show the changing manner in which the Wall has been conceived and the significant role it has played in imagining the identity of the English, including its appropriation as symbolic boundary between England and Scotland. Hingley discusses the transforming political, cultural, and religious significance of the Wall during this entire period and addresses the ways in which scholars and artists have been inspired by the monument over the years.

The UK Competition Regime - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The UK Competition Regime - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The UK competition law regime comprises primarily the Competition Act 1998 and the Enterprise Act 2002, supplemented by provisions introduced by the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The foundation of the modern framework of UK competition law, the Competition Act 1998, has entered its twentieth year of operation, having come into force on 1 March 2000. Since that particular date, UK competition law has developed significantly through both decisional practice and jurisprudence. It has also undergone a process of modernisation, including both institutional and substantive reform. After the passage of an eventful twenty years of enforcement and reform, it is now an appropriate time to engage in a serious process of critical reflection on the current shape of the UK''s competition regime and whether it is performing well its role of ''making markets work well for consumers''. With this context in mind, the book examines in a robust and critical manner the first twenty years of the operation of the UK''s competition regime. It focuses on the main substantive and procedural issues and provides a comprehensive analysis of how the UK''s contemporary competition regime has dealt with the challenges posed by these issues. By doing so, the book not only articulates those areas of competition law that are working well in the UK, but also those areas where further reflection, refinement and possible reform are required.

Exporting the UK Policing Brand 1989-2021 - Georgina Sinclair - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Exporting the UK Policing Brand 1989-2021 - Georgina Sinclair - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Exporting the UK Policing Brand 1989-2021 charts the history of UK international policing. Over time, UK policing has acquired a veritable brand value through the global commercialization and commodification of its policing activities in support of British soft power. Since 1989, the growth in international development and a period of post-cold war interventions brought international policing into sharper focus. This book explores the reputation of the UK police brand through hundreds of police practitioner oral testimonies and wide-ranging case studies including the Western Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Timor Leste, and Libya. Since the 1990s, international policing has become one of the key pillars within international security and development spaces, generating the rise in demand for UK police retirees in the corporate security industry. The UK police brand has continued to reshape through the 21st century within a post-Brexit Global Britain, as Scotland and Northern Ireland drive forward their own international agendas, and policing and defence engagement enters a period of uncertainty.By weaving together the UK''s history of police internationalization, the rise and professionalization of the international development sector, and the privatization and commodification of policing, a story emerges of how and why the UK police brand has taken the form it does today.

The UK and Multi-level Financial Regulation - Scott (reader In Political Economy James - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The UK and Multi-level Financial Regulation - Scott (reader In Political Economy James - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The UK and Multi-level Financial Regulation examines the role of the United Kingdom (UK) in shaping post-crisis financial regulatory reform, and assesses the implications of the UK''s withdrawal from the European Union (EU). It develops a domestic political economy approach to examine how the interaction of three domestic groups - elected officials, financial regulators, and the financial industry - shaped UK preferences, strategy, and influence in international and EU-level regulatory negotiations. The framework is applied to five case studies: bank capital and liquidity requirements; bank recovery and resolution rules; bank structural reforms; hedge fund regulation; and the regulation of over-the-counter derivatives. It concludes by reflecting on the future of UK financial regulation after Brexit.The book argues that UK regulators pursued more stringent regulation when they had strong political support to resist financial industry lobbying. UK regulators promoted international harmonisation of rules when this protected the competitiveness of industry or enabled cross-border externalities to be managed more effectively; but were often more resistant to new EU rules when these threatened UK interests. Consequently, the UK was more successful at shaping international standards by leveraging its market power, regulatory capacity, and alliance building (with the US). But it often met with greater political resistance at the EU level, forcing it to use legal challenges to block reform or secure exemptions. The book concludes that political and regulatory pressure was pivotal in defining the UK''s ''hard'' Brexit position, and so the future UK-EU relationship in finance will most likely be based on a framework of regulatory equivalence.

Women of the Wall - Nahshon Perez - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Women of the Wall - Nahshon Perez - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

In October of 2014, 12-year-old Sasha Lutt read from a tiny Torah scroll as a part of her bat mitzvah in the Women''s section of the plaza at the Western Wall, Judaism''s holiest prayer site. Surrounded by members of the multi-denominational organization, the Women of the Wall, one of whom had smuggled the scroll into the plaza, Sasha became the first woman to read from the Torah at the site. For more than twenty five years, the Women of the Wall have been waging a campaign to gain the Israeli government''s permission to pray at the Western Wall. Despite widespread media coverage, this is the first comprehensive study of their struggle.Yuval Jobani and Nahshon Perez offer an in-depth analysis of the Women of the Wall''s attempts to modify Jewish-orthodox mainstream religious practice from within and invest it with a new, egalitarian content. They present a comprehensive survey of the numerous legal rulings about the case and consider the broader political and social significance of the Women of the Wall''s activism. In this way, Jobani and Perez are able to address broader issues of religion-state relations: How should governments manage religious plurality within their borders? How should governments respond to the requests of minorities that conflict with ostensibly mainstream interpretations of a given tradition? How should governments manage disputed sacred sites and spaces located in the public sphere? Women of the Wall: Navigating Religion in Sacred Sites offers a critical new look at theories of religion-state relations and a fresh examination of religious conflicts over sacred sites and public spaces.

Moral Creativity - John Wall - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Moral Creativity - John Wall - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

John Wall argues that moral life is inherently creative. Creativity, he says, is an element not just in the expression of moral sentiments, the application of moral principles, or the formation of moral cultures, but also the very activity of living morally itself. He supports his argument by means of an examination and critique of the moral thought of the French hermeneutical phenomenologist Paul Ricoeur, especially his poetics of will. Wall places Ricoeur''s work in the larger context of historical and contemporary conversations about moral transformation. In the process, he draws new connections between sin and tragedy, ethics and poetics, and the moral life and religious mythology. If moral life is creative at its core, Wall argues, it challenges all of these inherited oppositions and demands some fundamental rethinking of the nature and meaning of moral life itself.

Gas Prices in the UK - Philip Wright - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Gas Prices in the UK - Philip Wright - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Set in the context of the dramatic increases in the price of gas which UK gas consumers have had to endure since 2003, this book explores how it is that UK gas industry liberalisation, which once promised ever lower prices, is now being undercut by the much less liberal continental European marketplace. To do so it uses a wealth of data to build up an analytical picture of the UK gas industry, segment by segment, from well-head to burner-tip. In so doing the respective roles played in gas price formation by the wholesale cost of gas, its transportation costs and the cost of supply by marketing companies are revealed for both industrial and domestic consumers. The central contention is that the replacement of administered arrangements by market relationships and competition have made UK gas prices far more sensitive to insecurities of supply, both small-scale and large-scale strategic. In consequence, companies operating along the gas chain have had to take up defensive positions to manage these new risks, relying particularly on either upstream production or captive domestic consumers to shield them. Nor is it the case that more competition, with more switching by consumers, can provide a remedy. Instead, the UK government will have to consider re-introducing price control regulation for domestic consumers while also requiring upstream companies to protect consumers from volatility by holding more gas in storage. As well as providing new insights into causes of relatively high gas prices in the UK, the book also provides a long-overdue source of reference about the UK gas industry: about its infrastructure, companies, marketplaces, contracts and regulation.

Disruption, Innovation and Re-alignment in UK Consumer Law and Policy - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Disruption, Innovation and Re-alignment in UK Consumer Law and Policy - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book sets out the future directions for UK consumer law and policy. After decades of EU-driven development, the continuous improvement of UK consumer law and policy has stalled after Brexit. Yet, there are major challenges, including the progressive digitalisation of the consumer environment, the need to reconcile sustainability with consumption, and the need for better crisis resilience, alongside more specific concerns such as better enforcement, students as consumers, or subscription contracts. The disruption caused by Brexit demands a comprehensive solution to ensure that UK consumer law and policy remains current and robust rather than becoming moribund. It also presents an opportunity for realigning UK consumer law and policy towards a consumer-centric focus and to develop innovative solutions to contemporary consumer challenges. With original contributions from UK consumer law scholars, the book shows how the UK could develop in response to both major and specific challenges. Topics include a historical perspective on consumer law, consumer law reform, the implications of Brexit, vulnerability, changing paradigms, challenges in the context of financial services and digital consumer law, and enforcement.

Brexit, EU Students and UK Higher Education - Simon Marginson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Brexit, EU Students and UK Higher Education - Simon Marginson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This open access book examines the effects of Brexit on UK higher education, based on the largest academic research project conducted in the UK across 12 universities in all four nations. The Brexit decision in 2016 has brought about a profound transformation in UK higher education, with the decline in EU engagement reshaping the sector in many areas, including recruitment of academic staff, research collaboration, university facilities and the declining diversity of students in British institutions. This study, grounded in 127 interviews with university leaders and academic staff, focuses especially on the sharp reduction in EU student entry into UK universities and how this is being experienced in the UK.With an analysis of the impact of Brexit in three areas, revenue, diversity and competition, the book also offers a broader understanding of the internationalisation of higher education in the UK. The authors review developments in policy and practice in the internationalisation of UK higher education and research, including scholarly studies and perspectives. The argument is supported by rich data including up to date statistics on enrolment and well-crafted qualitative case studies. Significantly, Brexit, EU Students and UK Higher Education offers implicit and explicit wider lessons which can be expanded to other HE systems and global HE. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by UKRI.
