Storytelling for Sustainability in Higher Education: A Handbook

Despite improvements in the last 20 years we still have a long way to go before all of our buildings places and spaces are easy and comfortable for all of us to use. This book puts forward a powerful case for a totally new attitude towards inclusivity and accessibility. Exploring both the social and the business cases for striving for better this book will empower architects to have more enlightened discussions with their clients about why we should be striving for better than the bare minimum and challenging the notion that inclusive design should be thought of reductively as simply a list of “special features” to be added to a final design or that inclusivity is only about wheelchair access. This book will be to help make inclusive design business as usual rather than something that is added on to address legislation at the end of the development process. Accessible and engaging this book will be an invaluable resource for students as well as practicing architects richly illustrated with case studies showing both good and bad examples of inclusive design and celebrating inclusion. |Are you an inclusive designer? | Architecture

Malaria is one of most serious infectious diseases today and has afflicted humankind for thousands of years. A significant number of people still die from this mosquito-borne disease despite the use of various malaria prevention and control methods over hundreds of years and more than a century of coordinated global control efforts using modern tools together with research into and development of new strategies for prevention diagnosis and disease treatment. Genetic approaches that focus on the vector mosquitoes to prevent malaria parasite transmission have been considered for many decades. Genetic control strategies received a significant boost with the successful development of gene drive systems genetic methods for rapidly spreading beneficial genes and phenotypes through mosquito populations. This book reviews some concepts of gene drive systems and describes pioneering applications to control mosquito populations and prevent parasite transmission. |Mosquito Gene Drives and the Malaria Eradication Agenda | Science Client Lines

What is internal communication? What role does it play in contemporary organizations? What are the consequences of malfunctioning internal communication? There are many aspects of internal communication – work related social formal informal vertical horizontal between coworkers between coworkers and managers communication before and under organizational changes internal crisis communications and so forth. We think of different forms of communication channels such as intranet staff magazines electronic billboards and internal television. This book interconnects these different parts and emphasizes the strategic value and importance of internal communication. We understand internal communication as an unused capital with a large potential for organizational success. Further we understand internal communication as a basic prerequisite of organizations that is performed by all members of an organization – managers coworkers and communication professionals. Traditionally there has been too much emphasis on the work and function of communication professionals when internal communication is discussed but most of the communication value is actually produced by managers and coworkers. However communication professionals are the communication experts in organizations that strategically facilitate the organization. This book is based on a cooperation between Susanne Dahlman senior communication consultant and Mats Heide Professor in Strategic Communication at Lund University. Hence this book has a unique approach that covers both practical and academic aspects of internal communication. This book is a response to the demand for a book that covers the strategic aspects of internal communication in practice and as such is ideal reading for both practitioners and advanced students. |Strategic Internal Communication A Practitioner’s Guide to Implementing Cutting-Edge Methods for Improved Workplace Culture | Business
