A Study on Various Applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Field of Human Resource Management (HRM)
Authors: Chattopadhyay Pritam 
Published: November 2020

Candidate screening is a very important process in the entire recruitment process. Screening process helps HR’s with initial filtering of candidates and narrow down the received applications from many applications to few. Hiring teams have data pouring in from a variety of sources. In a fully digital HR ecosystem, it is difficult to process and analyze all these disparate data streams. AI can actually help transforming how HR managers view, select, and operate candidate screening. AI for recruiting is the application of artificial intelligence, such as the learning or problem-solving that a computer can do, to the recruitment function. This new technology is designed to streamline or automate some part of the recruiting workflow, especially repetitive, high-volume tasks. The promise of AI for improving quality of hire lies in its ability to using data to standardize the matching between candidates’ experience, knowledge, and skills and the requirements of the job. The benefits using AI are manifold; recruiters don’t have to sift through crowded job markets or endless candidate lists. This makes HR processes quite easy and faster. The research paper is basically focusing on various applications and implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of human resource management. Objectives of the paper are mentioned below:
•	To study the various components of artificial intelligence and its various applications in the field of human resource management.
•	To understand various implications and impediments of practicing artificial intelligence at different strategic level of any company.
The Formation of the Biblical Canon: Volume 1
Authors: McDonald Lee Martin 
Published: November 2020

Lee Martin McDonald provides a magisterial overview of the development of the biblical canon -- the emergence of the list of individual texts that constitutes the Christian bible. In these two volumes -- in sum more than double the length of his previous works on this subject -- McDonald presents his most in-depth overview to date. McDonald shows students and researchers how the list of texts that constitute 'the bible' was once far more fluid than it is today and guides readers through the minefield of different texts, different versions, and the different lists of texts considered 'canonical' that abounded in antiquity. Questions of the origin and transmission of texts are introduced as well as consideration of innovations in the presentation of texts, collections of documents, archaeological finds and Church councils.
In the first volume McDonald reexamines issues of canon formation once considered settled, and sets the range of texts that make up the Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament) in their broader context. Each individual text is discussed, as are the cultural, political and historical situations surrounding them. The second volume considers the New Testament, and the range of so-called 'apocryphal' gospels that were written in early centuries, and used by many Christian groups before the canon was closed. Comprehensive appendices showing various canon lists for both Old and New Testaments and for the bible as as a whole are also included.
Paul in the Greco-Roman World
Authors: Sampley J. Paul 
Published: November 2020

This landmark handbook, written by distinguished Pauline scholars, and first published in 2003, remains the first and only work to offer lucid and insightful examinations of Paul and his world in such depth. Together the two volumes that constitute the handbook in its much revised form provide a comprehensive reference resource for new testament scholars looking to understand the classical world in which Paul lived and work.
Each chapter provides an overview of a particular social convention, literary of rhetorical topos, social practice, or cultural mores of the world in which Paul and his audiences were at home. In addition, the sections use carefully chosen examples to demonstrate how particularly features of Greco-Roman culture shed light on Paul’s letters and on his readers’ possible perception of them.
For the new edition all the contributions have been fully revised to take into account the last ten years of methodological change and the helpful chapter bibliographies fully updated. Wholly new chapters cover such issues as Paul and Memory, Paul’s Economics, honor and shame in Paul’s writings and the Greek novel
Sufism and the Scriptures
Authors: Morrissey Fitzroy 
Published: November 2020

The Sufi thinker ‘Abd al-Karim al-Jili (d. 1408) is best-known for his treatment of the idea of the Perfect Human, yet his masterpiece, al-Insan al-kamil (The Perfect Human), is in fact a wide-ranging compendium of Sufi metaphysical thought in the Ibn ‘Arabian tradition. One of the major topics treated in that work is sacred history, the story of God’s revelation of the truth to humanity through His prophets and scriptures.
Fitzroy Morrissey provides here the first in-depth study of this important section of al-Jili’s major work and the key ideas contained within it. Through a translation and analysis of the key passages on the Qur’an, Torah, Psalms and Gospel, it shows how al-Jili’s view of sacred history is conditioned by his Ibn ‘Arabian Sufi metaphysics, whereby the phenomenal world is viewed as a manifestation of God, and the prophets and scriptures as special places where the divine attributes appear more completely. It also looks at how this idea influences al-Jili’s understanding of the hierarchy of prophets, scriptures and religions. The book argues that, contrary to common assumptions, al-Jili’s Sufi metaphysical view of sacred history is in keeping with the common medieval Muslim view of sacred history, whereby the Qur’an is viewed as the best of scriptures, Muhammad as the best of prophets, and Islam as the best religion. The book therefore not only gives an insight into a key text within medieval Sufi thought, but also has ramifications for our understanding of medieval Sufi views on the relationship between Islam and other religions.
Apparel Costing
Authors: Kennedy Andrea , Reyes Andrea , Venezia Francesco 
Published: November 2020

The Actor and His Body
Authors: Pisk Litz 
Published: November 2020

‘Once you start working with someone like Litz you don’t ever want to stop if you can help it’ - Vanessa Redgrave.
Litz Pisk was widely regarded as the most influential teacher of modern theatre movement of the 20th Century. She innovated and advocated a physical training that sought to combine awareness, emotion and imagination specifically for the actor’s craft. Her seminal book, The Actor and His Body, is the direct result of her unique dual career as a professional movement director and as an actor movement teacher working in leading British conservatoire
Pisk’s quest was to find expression for the inner impulse that motivated actors to move. Her teachings, as outlined in this book, offer insight on the specific craft of the actor, and the relationship between movement, imagination and the ‘need’ to move.
The Actor and His Body is also a practical manual for keeping the actor’s body physically and expressively responsive. In addition, there are a range of movement exercises, illuminated by her exquisite line drawings, and complete weekly programme which concentrates on movement practice within different timescales
This fourth edition features the original foreword by Michael Elliot as well as a new introduction by Ayse Tashkiran, contemporary movement director and Senior Lecturer at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, which contextualises Pisk’s work
Rumour and Radiation
Authors: Hegarty Paul 
Published: November 2020

This is a book about video art, and about sound art.
The thesis is that sound first entered the gallery via the video art of the 1960s and in so doing, created an unexpected noise. The early part of the book looks at this formative period and the key figures within it - then jumps to the mid-1990s, when video art has become such a major part of contemporary art production, it no longer seems an autonomous form.
Paul Hegarty considers the work of a range of artists (including Steve McQueen, Christian Marclay, Ryan Trecartin, and Jane and Louise Wilson), proposing different theories according to the particular strategy of the artist under discussion. Connecting them all are the twinned ideas of intermedia and synaesthesia. Hegarty offers close readings of video works, as influenced by their sound, while also considering the institutional and material contexts. Applying contemporary sound theory to the world of video art, Paul Hegarty offers an entirely fresh perspective on the interactions between sound, sound art, and the visual.
Low End Theory
Authors: Jasen Paul C. 
Published: November 2020

Low End Theory probes the much-mythologized field of bass and low-frequency sound. It begins in music but quickly moves far beyond, following vibratory phenomena across time, disciplines and disparate cultural spheres (including hauntings, laboratories, organ workshops, burial mounds, sound art, studios, dancefloors, infrasonic anomalies, and a global mystery called The Hum). Low End Theory asks what it is about bass that has fascinated us for so long and made it such a busy site of bio-technological experimentation, driving developments in science, technology, the arts, and religious culture.
The guiding question is not so much what we make of bass, but what it makes of us: how does it undulate and unsettle; how does it incite; how does it draw bodily thought into new equations with itself and its surroundings? Low End Theory is the first book to survey this sonorous terrain and devise a conceptual language proper to it. With its focus on sound’s structuring agency and the multi-sensory aspects of sonic experience, it stands to make a transformative contribution to the study of music and sound, while pushing scholarship on affect, materiality, and the senses into fertile new territory. Through energetic and creative prose, Low End Theory works to put thought in touch with the vibratory encounter as no scholarly book has done before.
Chaos Media
Authors: Kennedy Stephen 
Published: November 2020

The contemporary media landscape might be described in simple terms as a digital terrain where real and virtual worlds collide. Stephen Kennedy investigates the concept of our digital space leading up to the digital turn of the 1990s to fully understand how our perceptions of orientation in space in time was altered.
Chaos Media: A Sonic Economy of Digital Space re-thinks the five fundamental paths to our contemporary understanding of the digital age: cultural, political, economic, scientific, and aesthetic, and ties them together to form a coherent whole in order to demonstrate how critical thinking can be reconfigured using a methodological approach that uses ‘chaos’ and ‘complexity’ as systematic tools for studying contemporary mediated space.
Kennedy introduces the concept of Sonic Economy, a methodology that allows for a critical engagement with the heterogeneous elements of an information society wherein the dispersion of discrete elements is manifest but not always clearly visible.
Burger
Authors: Adams Carol J. 
Published: November 2020

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.
The burger, long the All-American meal, is undergoing an identity crisis. From its shifting place in popular culture to efforts by investors such as Bill Gates to create the non-animal burger that can feed the world, the burger’s identity has become as malleable as that patty of protein itself, before it is thrown on a grill. Carol Adams’s Burger is a fast-paced and eclectic exploration of the history, business, cultural dynamics, and gender politics of the ordinary hamburger.
Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
The Juridification of Individual Sanctions and the Politics of EU Law
Authors: Nanopoulos Eva 
Published: November 2020

In the early 1990s the then European Community imposed for the first time a set of economic restrictions against a specific entity: the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola. Since then, the individualisation of sanctions has become entrenched, these so-called ‘smart’ sanctions have proliferated, their targets and scope of application have significantly expanded, and they operate in an increasingly juridified environment. This book aims to shed light on the constitutive dynamics and causes of these developments, with a focus on the juridification of individual sanctions at the European level. To this end it first revisits the phenomenon of individualisation – moving beyond the conventional narrative that individual sanctions emerged because of humanitarian and effectiveness concerns – and situates the ‘smarting’ of sanctions within the context of broader structural transformations characterised by the consolidation of the global neoliberal order. Second, the book explores why the role of law has been so pronounced in the European context by unearthing the connections between EU law and capitalist order building.

The determination of highly time-resolved and source-separated black carbon emission rates using radon as a tracer of atmospheric dynamics
Authors: Gregorič Asta , Drinovec Luka , Ježek Irena , Vaupotič Janja , Lenarčič Matevž , Grauf Domen , Wang Longlong , Mole Maruška , Stanič Samo , Močnik Griša 
Published: November 2020

Abstract. We present a new method for the determination of the
source-specific black carbon emission rates. The methodology was applied in
two different environments: an urban location in Ljubljana and a rural one
in the Vipava valley (Slovenia, Europe), which differ in pollution sources
and topography. The atmospheric dynamics was quantified using the
atmospheric radon (222Rn) concentration to determine the mixing layer
height for periods of thermally driven planetary boundary layer evolution.
The black carbon emission rate was determined using an improved box model
taking into account boundary layer depth and a horizontal advection term,
describing the temporal and spatial exponential decay of black carbon
concentration. The rural Vipava valley is impacted by a significantly higher
contribution to black carbon concentration from biomass burning during
winter (60 %) in comparison to Ljubljana (27 %). Daily averaged black
carbon emission rates in Ljubljana were
210 ± 110 and 260 ± 110 µgm-2h-1 in
spring and winter, respectively. Overall black carbon emission rates in
Vipava valley were only slightly lower compared to Ljubljana: 150 ± 60 and
250 ± 160 µgm-2h-1 in spring and winter,
respectively. Different daily dynamics of biomass burning and traffic
emissions was responsible for slightly higher contribution of biomass
burning to measured black carbon concentration, compared to the fraction of
its emission rate. Coupling the high-time-resolution measurements of black
carbon concentration with atmospheric radon concentration measurements can
provide a useful tool for direct, highly time-resolved measurements of the
intensity of emission sources. Source-specific emission rates can be used to
assess the efficiency of pollution mitigation measures over longer time
periods, thereby avoiding the influence of variable meteorology.
The Impact of Mental Health and Substance Use on Opioid Demand After Hip Fracture Surgery
Authors: Cunningham Daniel J. , LaRose Micaela A. , Gage Mark J. 
Published: November 2020

Introduction:
Mental health and substance use and abuse disorders have been associated with poor patient-reported outcomes. Despite the prevalence of hip fractures in the United States, the relationship between opioid demand and these factors in hip fracture surgery is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to describe opioid filling volume and rates after hip fracture surgery and to identify mental health risk factors for increased demand. The study hypothesis is that psychiatric comorbidities such as depression and psychoses as well as substance use and abuse indicators such as pre-op opioid dependence, drug, alcohol, and tobacco abuse would be associated with increased perioperative opioid demand.

Methods:
This is a retrospective cohort study of 40,514 patients undergoing surgical fixation of hip fractures using a commercially available insurance database. The primary patient-level outcome was filled opioid prescription volume in oral morphine milliequivalents converted to oxycodone 5-mg equivalents up to 1-year post-op. Adjusted measures of overall quantities filled and refill rates were assessed with multivariable main effects linear and logistic regression models.

Results:
Twenty four thousand four hundred forty-one of 40,514 patients (60.3%) filled opioid prescriptions within 7 days pre-op to 1-year post-op. Patients filling prescriptions filled a mean of 187.7 oxycodone 5-mg equivalents. Sixteen thousand five hundred seventy-seven patients (41.1%) filled two or more opioid prescriptions within 7 days pre-op to 1-year post-op. Fifteen thousand two hundred seventy-nine patients (37.7%) filled an opioid prescription between 3 months post-op and 1-year post-op, and 8,502 patients (21%) filled an opioid prescription between 9 months post-op and 1-year post-op. In multivariable models, age, pre-op opioid filling, depression, tobacco abuse, and drug abuse were risk factors significantly associated with increased perioperative opioid filling. Psychoses had a mixed effect on outcomes with decreased early perioperative filling and increased late perioperative filling. Pre-op opioid filling had the largest impact on perioperative opioid demand.

Discussion:
Pre-op opioid filling and drug abuse were the main mental health-related drivers of increased perioperative opioid prescription filling. Depression, psychoses, alcohol abuse, and tobacco abuse had small effects on prescription filling. These results can help identify patients at risk for increased opioid demand who may benefit from additional counseling, maximizing alternative pain management strategies, and possible referral to pain management specialists.

Increases in Firework-Related Upper Extremity Injuries Correspond to Increasing Firework Sales: An Analysis of 41,195 Injuries Across 10 Years
Authors: Morrissey Patrick J. , Scheer Ryan C. , Shah Neil V. , Penny Gregory S. , Avoricani Alba , Koehler Steven M. 
Published: November 2020

Introduction:
Between 2008 and 2017, the American Pyrotechnics Association reported a 41% increase in revenue from firework sales, with 2017 showing $885 million US dollars in consumer sales. We sought to evaluate the epidemiology of firework-related upper extremity injuries during this 10-year period, hypothesizing that hand/upper extremity injuries from fireworks were increasing in the United States.

Methods:
Observational epidemiologic assessment of a weighted cohort of patients via the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System from 2008 to 2017. The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System provides a nationwide probability sample of injuries related to consumer products based on emergency department visits collected from a cohort of about 100 US hospitals.

Results:
A total of 1,079 patients representing an estimated 41,195 firework-related upper extremity injuries presented to US emergency departments from 2008 to 2017. The number of injuries increased significantly from 2,576 in 2008 to 5,101 in 2017 (R2 = 0.85, R = 0.92, P < 0.001). A Spearman rank-order correlation determined that there was a strong, positive correlation between the increase in firework sales and the increase in injuries (rs = 0.939, P < 0.01). The overwhelming majority of firework-related injuries were seen in males (77%) aged 11 to 29 years (48%). The hand and fingers accounted for 85.8% of injuries, with the thumb being the most commonly injured body part (51.3%). Burns were the most common injury across all body sites except the wrist, where fractures were most common.

Conclusion:
Ten-year firework-related upper extremity injuries increased, corresponding to increased consumer sales across the same period. This study provides previously absent population-level data to provide a framework for discussion among policy makers and physicians alike in an attempt to mitigate the use of fireworks and their associated upper extremity injuries.
