This module concerns issues in human resource management and organisational design. These are what ultimately implement the firm’s strategy. Although many organisations recognise the importance of managing the work force effectively and even "know" what approaches are effective, it is remarkable how often firms and managers fail to implement these approaches. Consequently, this module has two central themes: (1) How to think systematically and strategically about aspects of managing the organisation’s human assets, and (2) What really needs to be done to implement these policies and to achieve competitive advantage through people. The intent of the module is both to impart knowledge as well as to stimulate discussion about the values and beliefs that stand in the way of implementing this knowledge.

This module provides an understanding of human responses to sound and vibration in the environment, and how such environmental stimuli are measured and assessed. People judge the success or failure of any efforts in noise and vibration control, so their responses should be understood and anticipated.

The module also shows:
- The main effects of noise and vibration on people.
- How to identify relevant variables and how they can be combined to make quantitative predictions of human responses to noise and vibrations.
- How to use standards and regulations that have been developed to provide a framework for the objective evaluation of noise and vibration.
- How to provide a basic understanding of alternative approaches to assessment that might be adopted in particular case.

Contemporary theories of global justice and international human rights law proceed from an essential common basis, i.e., placing persons in the centre of their focus and regarding them as ultimate units of moral and legal concern.

Does this mean that human rights are the best tool for expressing and realizing the demands of global justice and the latter could be adequately translated into the language of human rights?

The module addresses issues surrounding a complex relationship between human rights and global justice from two perspectives: first, it analyses the role of human rights in embodying and promoting principles of global justice; and second, it explores how contemporary theories and discourses of global justice can contribute to justifying, conceptualizing, and implementing human rights.

The module begins with an advanced introduction into some fundamental aspects concerning global justice and human rights and their interrelation, including normative foundations, principles, major actors, institutional framework, as well as strategies, mechanisms, and practices of realisation.

Following that, the module critically assesses the potential and limitations of human rights in dealing with the most pressing problems of global justice, such as colonialism and unfair domination, racism, gender discrimination, poverty and extreme inequality, unjust wars, climate change, digital divide, etc.

The participants of the module will try to find out whether a (radical) reconstruction of international human rights law is necessary to appropriately respond to the global challenges and meet the needs and expectations of the current and future generations.
