Coupled with market-based reforms that include weak regulation, control over workforces, standardization of processes and economies of scale, private provision of schooling is often seen to be convenient for both public authorities and businesses. This book examines how the public subsidization of these forms of private education affects quality, equality and the realization of human rights. With original research from leading experts, The State, Business and Education sheds light on the privatization of education in fragile circumstances. It illustrates the ways in which private actors have expanded their involvement in education as a business, and shows the influence of policy borrowing on the spread of for-profit education. Case studies from Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India and Syrian refugee camps illustrate the ways in which private actors have expanded their involvement in education as a business. This book will be of interest not only to academics and students of international and comparative education, but also to education development professionals in both the private and public sectors, with its empirical assessment of case studies, and careful consideration of the lessons to be learned from each. 606 $aPublic-private sector cooperation 610 $aeducation 610 $aprivatization 610 $ahuman rights 610 $astandardization 610 $apublic-private partnership 610 $apolicy 615 0$aPublic-private sector cooperation. 676 $a658.046 700 $aAlexandra Draxler$4auth$01371880 702 $aDraxler$b Alexandra 702 $aSteiner-Khamsi$b Gita 712 02$aEdward Elgar Publishing, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910345974103321 996 $aThe state, business and education$93401644 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04172nam 2200877z- 450 001 9910404083803321 005 20210211 010 $a3-03921-396-2 035 $a(CKB)4100000011302300 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/56372 035 $a(oapen)doab56372 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011302300 100 $a20202102d2020 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aPlasma based Synthesis and Modification of Nanomaterials 210 $cMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute$d2020 215 $a1 online resource (160 p.) 311 08$a3-03921-395-4 330 $aThis book, entitled "Plasma-Based Synthesis and Modification of Nanomaterials" is a collection of nine original research articles devoted to the application of different atmospheric pressure (APPs) and low-pressure (LPPs) plasmas for the synthesis or modification of various nanomaterials (NMs) of exceptional properties. These articles also show the structural and morphological characterization of the synthesized NMs and their further interesting and unique applications in different areas of science and technology. The readers interested in the capabilities of plasma-based treatments will quickly be convinced that APPs and LPPs enable one to efficiently synthesize or modify differentiated NMs using a minimal number of operations. Indeed, the presented procedures are eco-friendly and usually involve single-step processes, thus considerably lowering labor investment and costs. As a result, the production of new NMs and their functionalization is more straightforward and can be carried out on a much larger scale compared to other methods and procedures involving complex chemical treatments and processes. The size and morphology, as well as the structural and optical properties of the resulting NMs are tunable and tailorable. In addition to the desirable and reproducible physical dimensions, crystallinity, functionality, and spectral properties of the resultant NMs, the NMs fabricated and/or modified with the aid of APPs are commonly ready-to-use prior to their specific applications, without any initial pre-treatments. 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 610 $aactivated carbon powder 610 $aanode materials 610 $aatmospheric pressure plasma 610 $abatteries 610 $acapacitively coupled plasma 610 $acarbon dots 610 $aClavibacter michiganensis 610 $aCO-hydrogenation 610 $acold atmospheric-pressure plasma 610 $aDickeya solani 610 $adielectric barrier discharge 610 $adirect current atmospheric pressure glow discharge 610 $aErwinia amylovora 610 $aheat transfer 610 $aionic liquid 610 $airon oxide nanoparticle 610 $aliquid phase plasma 610 $alow-temperature Fischer-Tropsch 610 $amercury ion 610 $an/a 610 $anano-catalysts 610 $ananocellulose 610 $ananoparticle 610 $ananoparticles 610 $ananostructures 610 $anecrosis 610 $anitrogen-doped carbon 610 $aPd-Fe alloy 610 $aphytopathogens 610 $aplant protection 610 $aplasma synthesis 610 $aplasma treatment 610 $aplasma-liquid interactions 610 $apolymer nanocomposite 610 $apre-treatment 610 $apseudo-capacitive characteristics 610 $apulsed plasma in liquid 610 $aquarantine 610 $aquercetin 610 $aRalstonia solanacearum 610 $asilicon 610 $asolution plasma 610 $astabilizer 610 $asubmerged liquid plasma 610 $aupconversion 610 $aXanthomonas campestris pv. campestris 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 700 $aPohl$b Pawel$4auth$01287825 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404083803321 996 $aPlasma based Synthesis and Modification of Nanomaterials$93020451 997 $aUNINA
