Social workers' experience of work under changing administrative forms: an empirical and theoretical critique of Braverman by Davies, Linda

“…Although social workers may wish to reduce the uncertainty surrounding child abuse practice, and despite management's desire to limit practitioner discretion, there remains an inevitable core of uncertainty in the nature of the work which generates the requirement for judgment on the part of the front-line worker. Braverman's approach proved too deterministic to cope with these questions. …”

Millimeter-wave high-gain SIW end-fire bow-tie antenna by Dadgarpour, Abdolmehdi, Zarghooni, Behnam, Virdee, Bal Singh, Denidni, Tayeb A.

“…The proposed antenna consists of a pair of bow-tie radiators, where each radiator is etched on the opposite side of the common dielectric substrate and fed through substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) feed-line. The bow-tie radiators are arranged to cross each other symmetrically by tilting the feed-lines by 30◦ to enhance the antenna gain and to obtain the required radiation pattern. …”

A comprehensive review on theoretical framework-based electric vehicle consumer adoption research by Adnan, Nadia, Nordin, Shahrina Md, Rahman, Imran, Vasant, Pandian M., Noor, Amir

“…This study expands this line of research by focusing on making a chance for developing the theoretical frameworks in terms of adding emotions in a psychological perspective where consumer behaviour and ethics are considered.…”

Office space by Kollectiv, Galia, Kollectiv, Pil

“…Citing the predominance of a service and information economy, as well as the rapidly dissolving line between pleasure and work among consumers and workers alike, Lazzarato describes “immaterial labor” as all the ways and means by which goods and services acquire their “informational and cultural content.” …”

Beam-scanning leaky-wave antenna based on CRLH-metamaterial for millimeter-wave applications by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Virdee, Bal Singh, Khalily, Mohsen, Shukla, Pancham, See, Chan, Abd-Alhameed, Raed, Falcone, Francisco, Limiti, Ernesto

“…The proposed LWA design is based on composite right/left-handed transmission-line (CRLH-TL) concept. The single layer antenna structure includes a matrix of 3×9 square slots that is printed on top of the dielectric substrate; and printed on the bottom ground-plane are Π and T-shaped slots that enhance the impedance bandwidth and radiation properties of the antenna. …”

The carrier's liability under international maritime conventions (The Hague, Hague-Visby and Hamburg rules) by Karan, Hakan

“…After all these studies it is concluded that there are no substantial differences between the Hague and Hamburg liability regimes except the archaic nautical fault and fire exemptions, and that the latter, which contain all the amendments of the Visby and SDR Protocols, were more clearly drafted by taking the needs of modem trade into consideration and have brought the regime into line with other Conventions relating to other modes of transport. …”
