As changes in the composition of the workforce exert new demands on employers, considerable attention is being paid to how workplaces can be structured more flexibly to achieve the goals of employers and employees. Workplace Flexibility brings together sixteen essays authored by leading experts in economics, demography, political science, law, sociology, anthropology, and management. Collectively, they make the case for workplace flexibility, as well as examine existing business practices and public policy regarding flexibility in the United States, Europe, Australia, and Japan. Workplace Flexibility underscores the need to realign the structure of work in time and place with the needs of the changing workforce. Considering the positive and negative consequences for employer and employee alike, the authors argue that, although there is not an easy solution to creating and implementing flexibility practices-in the United States or abroad-redesigning the workplace is essential if today's workers are effectively to meet the demands of life and work and if employers are successfully able to attract and retain top talent and improve performance. 606 $aFlexible work arrangements$zUnited States 606 $aWork and family$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFlexible work arrangements 615 0$aWork and family 676 $a331.20973 701 $aChristensen$b K$g(Kathleen)$01042304 701 $aSchneider$b Barbara L$0898535 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460225303321 996 $aWorkplace flexibility$92466447 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05628nam 22007215 450 001 9910743377703321 005 20260120125020.0 010 $a981-16-3120-4 010 $a981-16-3119-0 010 $a981-16-3120-4 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-16-3120-7 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6840240 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6840240 035 $a(CKB)20443410800041 035 $a(OCoLC)1290840200 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-16-3120-7 035 $a(EXLCZ)9920443410800041 100 $a20220103d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAntimicrobial Resistance $eUnderlying Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches /$fedited by Vinay Kumar, Varsha Shriram, Atish Paul, Mansee Thakur 205 $a1st ed. 2022. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer Nature Singapore :$cImprint: Springer,$d2022. 215 $a1 online resource (606 pages) 225 1 $aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 311 08$aPrint version: Kumar, Vinay Antimicrobial Resistance Singapore : Springer Singapore Pte.

This book compiles and presents the latest and most important aspects of AMR, including the biology involved, its persistence and spread, and novel approaches to tackle this threat. The book first describes the mechanisms and spread of AMR, and then discusses the various approaches and strategies for combating it. Important topics include, microbial pathogenesis, AMR traits and major mechanisms underlying drug-resistance and the emerging strategies and technologies for combating AMR. Emphasis has been given on current developments about natural products including potent phyto-molecules, antimicrobial peptides and endophytes effective against the drug-resistant microbes and target the main drug-resistance determinants (efflux pumps, biofilms, quorum sensing, plasmids, etc.) in these bacterial pathogens. Other exciting topics include applications of nanomaterials in tackling AMR and CRISPR-Cas based precise sequence-specific antimicrobials. This informative book is meant for students and researchers in basic and medical microbiology and biotechnology. It is also useful to public health professionals and industry experts involved in AMR research and related drug-designing. 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aMedical microbiology 606 $aMicrobial genetics 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aInternal medicine 606 $aMedical Microbiology 606 $aMicrobial Genetics 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aInternal Medicine 606 $aResistència als medicaments$2thub 606 $aMicroorganismes patògens$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 615 0$aMicrobial genetics. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aInternal medicine. 615 14$aMedical Microbiology. 615 24$aMicrobial Genetics. 615 24$aMicrobiology. 615 24$aInternal Medicine. 615 7$aResistència als medicaments 615 7$aMicroorganismes patògens 676 $a616.9041 702 $aKumar$b Vinay 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910743377703321 996 $aAntimicrobial Resistance$91935231 997 $aUNINA
