This article reviews the literature on the concept of empathy in the social work profession from the days of Mary Richmond to its use in traditional literature today. Empathy is re-examined in light of recent developments in feminist scholarship, in particular the relational-cultural theory developed at the Stone Center at Wellesley College. Moving beyond the more traditional definitions of emp...

The arrival of spring means yet another round in the national debate over executive compensation. But the critics have it wrong. The relentless attention on how much CEOs are paid diverts public attention from the real problem-how CEOs are paid. The authors present an in-depth statistical analysis of executive compensation. The study incorporates data on thousands of CEOs spanning five decades....

We describe a reflection scheme that allows Bragg-spaced semiconductor quantum wells to be used to trap, store, and release light. We study the temporal and spectral distortion of delayed light pulses and show that this geometry allows multibit delays and offers a high degree of distortion compensation.

There are two approaches to the determination of maximum permissible concentrations in urine (M.V.C.'s). The first is the direct method of comparing the concentration of toxic substances with the incidence of symptoms of intoxication. The second is the indirect approach of considering the worker as a sampling device and relating the urinary excretion to the atmospheric concentration to which th...

We propose a novel, efficient approach for distributed sparse learning with observations randomly partitioned across machines. In each round of the proposed method, worker machines compute the gradient of the loss on local data and the master machine solves a shifted `1 regularized loss minimization problem. After a number of communication rounds that scales only logarithmically with the number...

An article by Dr. Vannevar Bush (1) which appeared in 1945 can be considered as the beginning of the literature on mechanised information retrieval. In this article Dr. Bush described an imaginary machine, the "Memex", in which a research worker would store his personal library (principally on microfilm) together with other reports, papers, and records, and from which he would be able to select...

This paper introduces the Ergonomic Work Analysis as a relevant instrument to identify the risks in occupational environments through the investigation of factors that influence the relationship between the worker and the productive process. It draws a parallel between the several aspects of risk identification in traditional tools of Health and Safety Management and the factors embraced by the...
