Experiencing executive coaching
Executive coaching is an emerging occupation and field which despite its popularity remains neither clearly defined nor well understood both in theory and in practice. This research expands the limited understanding of executive coaching through its interpretation of coaching literature and exploration of the coaching experiences of two key parties in the coaching relationship: client executives and executive coaches. The emergent model: Creating spaces for reinvention through executive coaching, highlights that at the core of the executive coaching experience is the co-creation of a coaching relationship space for self-reflection and experiential learning by a client executive that is facilitated by an executive coach. Executive coaching is viewed as optimal when it assists clients to develop the capability to become their own self-coach and continue their lifelong journey of learning from experience. The value of phenomenological research in executive coaching is illustrated. The model presented in this book is of value to the executive coaching industry, trainers and educators and individuals and organisations seeking to understand and maximise coaching experiences.
Deep Learning for Healthcare
Deep learning, a rapidly advancing branch of artificial intelligence (AI), is revolutionizing the landscape of healthcare by enabling machines to perform complex tasks such as pattern recognition, classification, and prediction with unprecedented accuracy. Unlike traditional machine learning, which relies heavily on manual feature extraction, deep learning employs artificial neural networks capable of automatically learning from large volumes of raw data. This capability has made it a powerful tool in solving some of the most intricate problems in healthcare.Despite the challenges surrounding data privacy, model interpretability, and regulatory compliance, the benefits of deep learning in healthcare are profound. It streamlines clinical workflows, reduces diagnostic delays, supports evidence-based decisions, and improves the overall quality of care. As research continues to evolve, deep learning holds immense promise in addressing some of the most pressing challenges in global health-ranging from early disease detection and chronic illness management to outbreak prediction and drug discovery.
Grid Integration Of Renewables
The transition to clean, sustainable energy is one of the defining challenges and opportunities of our time. Around the world, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass are transforming how electricity is generated and consumed. These technologies promise a future with reduced carbon emissions, lower dependence on fossil fuels, and improved environmental health. Yet, as the share of renewables in the energy mix continues to grow, a critical question arises: how can these resources be effectively and reliably integrated into our existing power grids?Power grids were originally designed for centralized, controllable generation from fossil-fuel-based power plants. In contrast, renewable energy is often decentralized and variable its output depends on weather, time of day, and seasonal patterns. This variability can lead to imbalances between electricity supply and demand, posing challenges for grid stability and reliability. Additionally, many renewable systems are connected at the distribution level, requiring changes to how the grid is monitored, managed, and upgraded.

The Longshoremen. A Study Carried on Under the Direction of Pauline Goldmark
The Politics of Migrant Labour
The turnover of labour and its significance for workers and employers has usually been considered at the organizational level as individual exit behaviour, and seldom in relation to the cross-border mobility practices of migrant workers within and without the workplace. Drawing from labour process theory, the autonomy of migration, social reproduction, and industrial relations, this book explores the relationship between labour mobility and international migration under a global and historical perspective. Uncovering both the individual and collective actions by migrants inside and outside worker organizations, the authors develop a new understanding of migrants' everyday mobilities as creative and life-sustaining strategies of social reproduction and labour conflict.
