"This book argues that law, regulation, and technology can be understood as particular kinds of governance projects, and their credentials assessed according to an overarching concept of good governance. The book introduces the ideas of 'governance by law' and 'governance by regulation' as particular types of projects within a constellation of governance projects - some normative, some non-normative, and some hybrid. As such, legal and regulatory projects can be differentiated from each other as well as from other normative governance projects, such as ethics); they can also be contrasted with various kinds of non-normative technological projects; and, importantly, they can be compared with governance projects that are hybrids, such as rule-and-tool projects. Based on this account of governance, the limitations and imperfections of legal and regulatory governance then be - relative to an overarching concept of good governance - become readily apparent. Focusing on governance projects, governance problems, and governance prospects, the book thereby offers an insightful and original analysis of the current - and future - intersection of law, technology and governance. This book will be of interest to legal researchers and postgraduates in the burgeoning field of law, regulation and technology; as well as others with more general interests in issues of law and governance"-- This book argues that law, regulation, and technology can be understood as particular kinds of governance projects, and their credentials assessed according to an overarching concept of good governance.

This book provides students and practitioners alike with a comprehensive discussion of the latest psychological research relevant to interviewing informants.In particular, the book contains a detailed outline of the R-WITS-US interview model. This is a bespoke informant interview model that can be remembered by the axiom: Keeping our wits about us. The current book examines the development of this model, bringing a clear focus on the specific definition of an informant and how this definition differentiates informants from other individuals who are likely to be interviewed by police such as victims, witnesses or suspects. A variety of relational and organisational objectives are identified and explored with the R-WITS-US model proposed as an ethical interview model capable of addressing these interconnected objectives. The aims of each individual phase are carefully explained and practical examples of psychological techniques that can be used are provided throughout. The book concludes with a detailed example of the R-WITS-US model, highlighting how it could be employed in practice.This book provides invaluable evidence-based guidance to practitioners making it essential reading for police professionals who are required to understand and interview informants. It will also be useful secondary reading for Professional Policing students engaged in police practice, criminal investigation, and investigative interviewing. Autorid: Lee Moffett

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1.3, University of Hull, language: English, abstract: Long-term financing and therefore the question of capital structure is essential for all kinds of business. Every organisation should take into account financing patterns in order to set up a target capital structure, which reduces the cost of capital. The optimal capital structure tends to rely on a variety of factors, such as industry, ownership structure, personal attitude to risk, nationality, and dimension of asymmetric information. Due to the significance, many theories regarding these matters have been developed with sometimes more contradictory explanations. This paper deals with the long-term financing patterns of the Deutsche Lufthansa AG. Firstly, the work gives a brief company¿s profile and investigates its capital structure. Further, the composition of shareholders¿ equity and debts are examined in order to critically asses Lufthansäs rationale for its financing mix. Finally, referred on relevant long-term financing theories, the work summarizes the findings. [...]
