Text offers variety of anthropological perspectives which can be used to gain insight into the culture of motorcycling and motorcyclers (particular sport touring bikes). Asking if motorcycling can be explained as a sport, art or ritual, the complexity of motorcycling phenomena is being shown. Motorcycling as a preferred leisure activity is here regarded through the body experience (embodied capital), risk taking experience (edgework), naturalness seeking (civilization escape), traveling (the road) and finally through bike´s qualities such as flexibility, mobility and spontaneity. The historical context of motorcycling beginnings is briefly described (antihero, rebel without reason). Such a theorizing about motorcycling serves us for proving that sport touring biking is not subculture in common meaning but rather a praxeology- performance based on shared embodied experiencing.
Construction and Engineering industry is a high risk industry. Management of the risks has overridingimportance and every risk must be allocated to one or other party. Practice over many years has shownthat sensible and balanced risk allocation results in the lowest overall total cost for completed projects.Common delivery methods such as General Contracting or Design-Bid-Build (often abbreviated as D/B/B),Design-Build (often abbreviated as D/B) including EPC (Engineer-Procure-Construct), and ConstructionManagement (often abbreviated as CM), including CM At-Risk and EPCM (Engineer-Procure-ConstructionManagement) and their key aspects such as Contract Price, Design Responsibility and Contract Administrationcreate a basis of Risk Allocation.
Claim Management is a system for early solution of problems, obstructions and complications that helpsreflect realized risk in Contract price and in Time for Completion.
The Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils (International Federation of Consulting Engineers)was founded in 1913 and the number of FIDIC associations worldwide is nearing to almost 100. FIDIC publishdifferent best practise documents including sample forms of contracts for works that are known for balancedrisk allocation and efficient Claim management system.
For Niklas Luhmann modern society is a functionally differentiated society, i. e. it is composed of heterogeneous but equal parts which are relatively independent and are defined as social subsystems. Luhmann’s analysis presents contemporary society as a whole differentiated into functionally dependent yet autonomous sub-systems that constitute neighbouring worlds for each other. This raises the question of the existence or non-existence of potential unifying forces or integration mechanisms. In Luhmann’s view the main problem is the non-existence of means of “metacommunication”. The development of specialised media and codes in the individual sub-systems increases the overall complexity of the social system, but does not entail the metacom¬munication that would make possible the self-observation and self-reference of the social system as a whole. and Jiří Šubrt.
