Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 2,0, University of Sunderland, language: English, abstract: Capri Sun is engaged in the production and selling of beverage products. It is an established popular juice brand for children. The wide range of brand lines and numerous flavours combined with the easy package makes Capri Sun a handy solution for packed lunches and daily drinks. Capri Sun is being recognised as a yummy juice but not as a healthy drink. Therefore Capri Sun has to change its marketing strategy thus making the consumer aware of the fact that Capri Sun is a healthy drink, too. Consumers have become more health conscious. They are more concerned about calories and are interested in drinks that are convenient and healthy.Within the beverage industry there is a fierce rivalry, which can be assessed in situational analysis. The expected market growth provides Capri Sun further opportunities, which have been developed in the SWOT analysis. It is therefore necessary that all marketing and strategic plans for the engagement in these markets are working flawlessly. But Capri Sun has not been able to achieve the reputation and consciousness by the consumer as a healthy daily drink, yet.With the use of the situational and SWOT analysis recommendations this could be achieved, since the problem areas can be are identified. Capri Sun must rethink its current strategy and products in the market in order to remain one of the most famous drinks in the beverage industry. By implementing more products they can target more consumers. If these new strategies are well thought through they can continue to grow.

Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Problemen, die sich beim Entwurf verschiedener Stadtbegriffe ergeben und schläft einen eigenen Lösungsweg zur Definition von Städten vor.Zunächst stellt sich die Frage, warum eine solche Hausarbeit überhaupt ein Thema, wie das Definieren von 'Stadt' behandeln soll. Jedes Kind weiß schlussendlich doch was eine Stadt ist. Doch wenn wir versuchen eine klare Abgrenzung zu ländlichen Räumen zu machen, wenn wir versuchen eine präzise begriffliche Festlegung in Form einer Definition für den Begriff 'Stadt' zu finden, treffen wir vermehrt auf einige Probleme. Des Weiteren wird in dieser Arbeit durch verschiedene Stadtbegriffe ein Lösungsweg zur Definition von Städten eingeschlagen, der es uns zumindest aus verschiedenen Teildisziplinen erlaubt, klare Definitionen festzulegen.

Neuware -Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2.1, , language: English, abstract: It is not possible nowadays to imagine the Internet without Wikipedia, which is the prime online information source for millions of people. It is undoubtedly one of the most popular websites in the world and accommodates a crucial number of readers and contributors. Beutler (2014) compares the Wikipedia to ¿the passion project of a volunteer community committed to developing a universal knowledge base¿. Wikipedia has grown to be the sixth most popular website worldwide behind websites such as Google or Yahoo! (500 Global Sites Index, 2013). The infrastructure of Wikipedia enabled the contributors to build the largest and most up to date encyclopaedia in the world. Wilson &Likens (2015) pinpoint the accuracy of the website, which is similar to the traditional reference sources like for instance Encyclopaedia Britannica.By using different models and concepts, this paper tries to find out the feasible reasons for its ultimate success. Based on the Harvard Business Review Case Study on Wikipedia, the Resource- Based View model is utilized, where the strategic capabilities of the Wikipedia are analysed. Also, this paper argues how Blue Ocean strategy can provide a sound explanation of the apparent strategic success of the most popular online encyclopaedia.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Lecture Notes from the year 2018 in the subject Pharmicology, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: Tuberculosis [TB] is an infectious disease that can affect any part of the body, mainly an infection of the lungs.In a Neo-Latin word, tuberculosis is termed as ¿TUBERCLE¿ which means round nodule and ¿OSIS¿ which means condition.The causative organism for tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis in human and Mycobacterium bovis in animals. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is small, aerobic, nonmotile bacillus. The other causative organisms are Mycobacterium africanum and Mycobacterium microti. The non-mycobacterium genuses are Mycobacterium leprae, Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium asiaticum. The M.Tuberculosis complex consists of M.africanum, M.bovis, M.canetti, and M.microti.According to WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION (WHO), in 2012 they estimated around 8.6 million cases in which women were found approximately around 2.9. Most cases were found in Africa (27%) and Asia (58%), with the highest incidence in India (2.0-2.4 million), China (0.9-1.1 million); and total accounted the number of cases is 38%.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 1.5, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: The modern world is fast growing and in particular with the widespread urbanization growth. This has as a result exerted massive pressure on the available amenities allocation. Specifically, major urban areas around the world are currently unable to manage solid waste sufficiently and in the most sustainable manner. In that regard, such targets like the Millennium Development Goals specially aimed at boosting clean water and sanitation within cities, towns and villages have proved unfeasible.A typical example of such a case includes the Lebanon¿s garbage crisis that has has attracted the global attention with majority of the instituted solutions indicating unsatisfactory results. The problem has evidently been on high increase despite the intervention measures. The recent closure of its main landfill has consequently disrupted treatment, disposal and storage processes causing high accumulation of trash within streets. Besides, the inconveniences caused by the move has seen the proliferation of informal dumping sites all over the municipalities. The effects are evident threatening the overall wellbeing of people and the environment in general.Blocked roads systems due to the overflowing garbage piles have likewise inconvenienced humanitarian interventions especially amongst the most vulnerable areas.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 95, , language: English, abstract: The blowout of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig on April 20, 2010 was the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Damages from the event rapidly increased the rate of coastal erosion to the coastal wetlands of Louisiana. This region plays a vital role to our nation¿s economy. Many ethnic communities that contribute to the richness of Louisianäs food, music, and culture also suffered from this event. Settlements from British Petroleum will go towards coastal restoration projects and to compensate coastal communities that suffered as a direct result of the oil spill. Louisiana is now taking on steps to protect and restore the fragile wetlands along its coast over the next 50 years through a $50 billion project known as the Coastal Master Plan.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

In order to enter a new market, socio-cultural conditions always have to be taken into consideration. Chinese particularities in the context of communication, relationships or Guanxi and social reputation were observed in this work. Subsequently, cultural differences between China and Germany were compared according to Hofstede¿s cultural dimensions Power Distance, Individualism vs. Collectivism, Masculinity vs. Femininity, Uncertainty Avoidance and Long-Term vs. Short-Term Orientation. As shown in the course of this work, there are multiple differences in every dimension between these two cultures. In order to perform business in China, German companies have to adapt to the given circumstances. Only with careful handling of the cultural differences, economic success can be achieved.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, grade: 95, The University of Southern Mississippi , language: English, abstract: The United States has seen an increase in school shootings over the last century. The massacre at Virginia Tech University informed the country that emergency preparedness and response needed an urgent makeover across all colleges and universities. Shootings at lower levels of education such as elementary and high schools continue to rise however. The school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, 2018 has helped to reinforce the country¿s interest for tougher gun control laws through a nationwide movement called March for Our Lives. This paper discusses the actions that have been taken by legislatures to better protect students at all levels of education from active shooters.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2005 in the subject Sociology - Knowledge and Information, grade: 1.0, Oxford University (Campion Hall), language: English, abstract: The importance given to knowledge in relation to business success has never been so great as it is today and there is a substantive amount of important and informed studies reflecting this. Nonetheless, informed approaches by prominent authors generally focus on knowledge transfer mechanisms and the efficiency of these mechanisms to support and deliver competitive advantage. An overarching objective of understanding efficient knowledge transfer is therefore a central caveat for businesses wishing to achieve success and maintain competitive advantage since it is clear that any significant degradation of efficiency will directly affect this objective. Many studies do recognise the creation of knowledge as a significant factor in determining how effectively a business develops, and knowledge creation is used as a baseline for numerous historic and current studies.To date, however, there have been few studies which denote the affect of socio-cultural or religious phenomena within a transfer scenario as significant, and how this interaction may affect the outcome of the knowledge shared or exchanged in a business context. This paper therefore examines how, in a business context, knowledge transfer is influenced by perspectives given to the knowledge. This rational is deliberate since the transfer of knowledge is rarely a simple unproblematic event. In this regard, we look at a significant amount of literature and research which has been constructed in a bid to understand both the problematic nature surrounding the mechanics of the transfer sequence and definition of the term ¿knowledge¿ to support the establishment of meaningful baselines. The paper then summarises these theoretical baselines into segmented contexts with deliberate intention.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Document from the year 2018 in the subject Health - Public Health, grade: 1, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: In recent years, biotechnology has been the mainstay technology in both agricultural and medical field. This technology has led to the development of new medical techniques such as gene therapy for genetic disorders and diagnostic tools. In the field of agriculture, biotechnology, primarily genetic engineering has led to a substantial breakthrough in food production. It has led to the creation of transgenic plants and animals which express the desired characteristics such as high yield productivity, drought and disease resistance, as well as nutritional profile. In practice, genetic engineered organisms; plants and animals, are created through modifying their wild genomic composition to express new traits (FDA, 2014). These organisms are described as genetically transformed and their genetic composition is relatively different from that of the original or natural organisms referred to as ¿wild type.¿ These genetically engineered plants have been found to enhance food production; thus considered as the modern-day solution to global food crisis. Despite the benefits associated with genetically engineered crops, seeds by Monsanto have been shadowed by immense controversy over safety issues. An endless debate over the safety of genetically engineered seeds has raised an unprecedented outcry over health and environmental concerns. Therefore, this research paper will provide an elaborate discussion on the impacts of genetically modified food.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

The primary objective was to evaluate how victims understand causes, effects of gully erosion and effectiveness of erosion control measures in the study area. The research used questionnaire as a tool to examine victims perception of gully erosion in the area. Out of 480 questionnaire administered, 454 were returned and they were used for the analyses.Based on the findings of this study, victims of gully erosion in the area attributed causes to poor construction of culverts, deforestation and termination of drainages in sloppy topography. They agree that gully erosion in the area has resulted to losses of human lives, losses of buildings, displacement of people and losses of productive land. Victims also confirmed damages of infrastructures such as roads, bridges, buildings and altering of transportation corridors. Their responses revealed that gully erosion has resulted to decreased species richness, slowed succession and declining agricultural productivity which means less vegetation cover to soil, less return of organic matter and less biological and nutrient activity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Computer Science - IT-Security, grade: 2, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: Evidently, mobile phones and other mobile devices have taken over personal computers. They have become part of personal and business lives amongst the users. Regardless of they have brought unlimited challenges especially on issues of security. Cyber-attacks not only within individuals but also for businesses and government entities have threatened the welfare of mobile phones. Attacks on smartphones are on the high increase and quite sophisticated. This is quite alarming considering the fact that these devices are increasingly used to access and store sensitive personal information. In addition, they have also been used to conduct vital transactions such as in banking and online shopping. Vulnerability of attacks is high especially when attackers target unsuspecting users. Inasmuch as attacks target individuals, companies have also experienced similar threats that in the long run lead to massive losses whether as a result of breach of privacy and the risk of data loss or the resources used to secure the platforms. As a matter of fact, it has been estimated that cyber-attacks in mobile devices is very high as compared to personal computers. Nevertheless, the trend has been severed by ignorance of users who either fail to enable the security settings in their mobile devices or lack the resources to acquire more advanced mobile security. In overall, the industry has experienced laxity in providing up-to-date security technologies to secure mobile devices accordingly.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Document from the year 2018 in the subject Medicine - Medical Frontiers and Special Areas, grade: 1, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: This case study report provides a comprehensive discussion based on the psychological construction of emotions through the application of behavioral and cognitive theory in analyzing the given case study. Phobia is increasingly becoming a central point of attraction in the field of emotion research. Research psychologists are interested in generating more evidence to reconcile the wide differences that exist from the current findings. From a critical perspective, consensus on the basis of fear or phobia appears to be unlikely in the foreseeable future. This is attributable to the fact that psychologists perceive phobia as a psychological construct, whereas biologists argue fear to be an aspect that is discoverable through scientific inquiry. Another aspect that has contributed to the controversy surrounding research on phobia is the lack of consensus on how to investigate this emotion. Despite these controversies, clinical scientists are still engaged in intensive research on fear as an underlying aspect in mood and anxiety disorders. From a real-life perspective, phobias are not new in animals, including humans. As such, Adolphs perceives fear to be a central state of organisms.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - Robotics, grade: 100, , language: English, abstract: This paper is about a new trend in Stylistics called ¿Robotic Stylistics¿ whose subject matter is the linguistic outcome of robots. It investigates the possibility of making the robotic linguistic outcome the subject matter of stylistics, since robots are able to choose what they want to say due to their algorithms that enable them to make a choice.The field of artificial intelligence has developed and prospered in the recent years and entered the linguistic domain introducing a whole new sub-discipline of linguistics knows as Computational Linguistics. It helps linguists increase their knowledge of how the human brain works and how it processes language. Robotic stylistics will be concerned with the analysis and study of the style of robotic linguistic outcome using the same linguistic techniques that are used in the ordinary stylistic investigation of human literary and non-literary texts in order to discover the kind of style a robot has, how recurrent it is, and what it reveals about robots or artificial intelligence in general. However, there are many problems in this field especially in the case of obtaining the adequate data for analysis.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Euthanasia has aroused unprecedented debate in the society because it involves several considerations; the most significant one¿s being practical, religious and ethical issues. Moreover, this practice seems to be somehow challenging to the health professionals, since it is not in alignment with the medical ethics nor legal framework. Euthanasia is illegal in the United Kingdom: thus, it is considered illegal. Therefore, approaches towards euthanasia require caution, since it can lead to imprisonment (Nicholson, 2000). For instance, voluntary euthanasia is considered as a crime in the United Kingdom, which is punishable by law. Any individual who deliberately executes euthanasia is subjected to serve a jail term. Therefore, this research paper will give an overview of euthanasia. Euthanasia has evoked unprecedented controversy in the society.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,7, University of Tubingen, language: English, abstract: The use of 'Lady Macbeth' as a byname nowadays is very common, especially in politics. Her special role, her courage, pride and demeanour impress us in such a way that we still compare a fictional character to real women who have similar characteristics, like the First Lady for example. The power and influence the First Lady has on her husband the President is sometimes underestimated, as it also happened with Lady Macbeth in the tragedy.In the United States, the role of the First Lady is more important than anywhere else. During the election campaign, she supports and encourages her husband and also assists him in the presidency. Edith Wilson, for example, substituted for her husband Woodrow Wilson when he was ill in 1919, and adopted the executive power of the U.S. government. The reason Smith and Cook compare Mrs. Wilson and other First Ladies with Lady Macbeth is not arbitrary. Already in the original of Shakespeare¿s The Tragedy of Macbeth, first performed in 1606, he represented Lady Macbeth as a very strong and influential woman and wife with a special firmness of character.The popularity of the character and the tragedy itself brought forth many different productions and adaptations. There are a lot of ways to understand, interpret and implement Shakespeare¿s tragedies into movies and stage productions. Each production pursues its own concept in staging and how the story shall be presented. Therefore, the production company chooses a director and cast who can opine their conception in the best way. Hence they have the difficult and honourable task to implement this distinguished piece of work into a film or theatre production.Marion Cotillard and Samantha Spiro, who were both cast for a Macbeth production, are two completely different actresses in their mannerism, look and acting style, but the companies thought that they were perfectly suited for the role of Lady Macbeth and so they had the difficult task to play her. Marion Cotillard had already received many awards for her acting and became a very popular Hollywood actress during the final years. She played Lady Macbeth opposite Michael Fassbender in the 2015 film production by Justin Kurzel. Samantha Spiro played Lady Macbeth at the Globe theatre in London in 2013. This production was the directorial debut of Eve Best.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1,6, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: In many societies, adults and older children use a non-standard form of speech when talking to toddlers and infants. This form of speech is called Child-directed speech (CDS). It is also referred to as infant-directed speech (IDS) or motherese. CDS can be defined as a clear and simplified way of communicating to younger children used by adults and older children. In CDS, many of the same words used in adult conversation are used. However, CDS is often more melodic and emotionally charged. It is thought to appeal more to babies and that they pay more attention when they are spoken to in this manner. It helps the baby to grasp the emotional intentions of speech. Many researchers believe that CDS is a species-specific behaviour that evolved to enhance communication between human babies and their caregivers because of its features such as melody and wide use.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 2,0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (English Studies), language: English, abstract: The declaration of independence was signed in 1776 and by freeing the American colonies from the British rule it marked an important step in the relationship between England and America. Many settlers left England in search of religious freedom and to start a society with new rules and values. In both 'Downton Abbey' and 'The Remains of the Day' the rules and values embodied by the American characters are way more modern than the English ones.To truly understand the differences between English and American characters one first has to ask: what exactly is 'Englishness' and how do the American characters show contrast to that Doyle mentions 'a national sense of ancestry, tradition and universal 'free' citizenship' in 'English & Englishness' and thus takes up one of the most important aspects: tradition. The American characters in 'Downton Abbey' do not value tradition as much as the English ones do. A reason for that may be the fact that America does not have as much of a country¿s history as England does. The aristocracy and class system in England may be a 'national disunity' but it is nevertheless an aspect that has strongly shaped the English society. This is clearly shown in 'Downton Abbey' where the main characters are consequently divided into 'masters' and 'servants'. Even though there seems to be a serving class under the wealthy Americans, too, they have no aristocracy in America.A point that gets more attention than the aristocracy in 'The Remains of the Day' is the importance of dignity. The protagonist Stevens dedicates the majority of his thoughts to the question of a good butler. In his mind this question is strongly linked with a feeling of dignity and the question of how one should behave. It gets obvious that in his opinion his former employer Lord Darlington knew how to behave while the American gentleman Mr. Farraday often brings 'bewilderment, not to say shock' about. A similar opinion is held by the Dowager Countess Lady Grantham. She is openly judging Martha Levinson¿s manners and behaviour. Boyle also mentions the importance of a country¿s own language and culture and the education of it. Another aspect is the love of one¿s country and landscape that is stressed by Stevens during the beginning of his journey.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 2,0, University of Frankfurt (Main), language: English, abstract: The similarities between the concepts of inclusion and multiliteracies ¿ as understood by the New London Group ¿ will be explored. The thesis that underlies this paper is that both approaches do possess a common ground, and the theoretical framework of multiliteracies and multiliteracy practices can play an essential role in inclusive approaches within the classroom. There is no aim here to put theory into practice: It is rather the comparison and merger of both concepts to find support for each another.As a teacher engaged in the training of special education needs, I find it relevant to understand the connection of the concepts of multiliteracies and inclusive education to derive a basic but fundamental comprehension of benefits of multiliteracy practices in my work with students. My personal and professional understanding of inclusion does not exclude students without diagnosed special educational needs from my focus; on the contrary, it vigorously includes all students. Chapter Two concentrates on inclusive education by giving a brief definition of the term ¿inclusion¿ and what the central and essential ideas of inclusive education are. Chapter Three focuses on the concept of multiliteracies, its definition by the New London Group, and its implications for a new pedagogy shaped by theories of multiliteracies. Chapter Four brings together the findings concerning multiliteracy pedagogies and inclusive education to discusses the central question of whether the theory of multiliteracies does display any relevance for inclusive education, where these principles and mind-sets meet, and where the theoretical and practical implications of a theory of multiliteracies can be useful in an inclusive educational setting. The conclusion that follows sums up the results and reflects these, and displays possible consequences for further research.As both concepts bear a complex and non-distinct definition, and given the limitations of this paper, only aspect and core elements of multiliteracies and inclusive education are provided.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Scott Fitzgerald¿s short story ¿Babylon Revisited¿, which was published in 1931. The short story includes expatriate themes of the early 20th century in Paris that shapes the story of Charlie Wales, a businessman who had a lavish lifestyle before he lost his family and wealth after the crash. The Great Depression that came along with the crash changed the lives of wealthy Americans for the worse, who lived in splendour in Paris before.This term paper will analyze the consequences of the Great Depression shown in ¿Babylon Revisited¿ and how life, on the contrary, was in the Roaring Twenties.

However, there is no universal definition of what this term includes. It is fairly open to interpretation. Its primary objective is the protection of the child, but often there is controversy regarding its construction. Why is the ¿best interest of the child¿ so important Why is it so difficult to define the ¿best interest of the child¿ Should this vague term even exist Is there an alternative These are the questions that led to writing this paper. The following will be a comparison of the negative and positive aspects of the ¿best interest¿. To start, there will be an overview over the history and structural composition of the UN Convention.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: A, The University of Southern Mississippi , language: English, abstract: In this paper, I expand upon Cathy Caruth's theories of 'trauma narratives' to examine how Clare¿s poetry is an expression of survival. By joining trauma narrative with poetry, Clare carves out a niche for himself that transcends the boundaries of his poverty-stricken birth and his subsequent institutionalization. In an age that did not take for granted the precept of self-invention, Clare used poetry as a means of centering himself, of returning to his essential nature. I propose that Clare¿s language offers an insider¿s view of a life that was too circumscribed for his evident intelligence, imagination, and verbal acuity. Stark and haunting, Clare¿s poetry insists on a certain kind of authority, exercises jurisdiction over his circumstances, and serves as a muted, posthumous triumph over the would-be eradication of identity.Literary critics have hailed John Clare¿s poetry of his 'asylum years' as rich, deeply emotional, and even more complex and skillful than the work of his prime. In the letters and poetry of the last 23 years of his life, Clare at once laments, rages against, and reluctantly acquiesces to his truncated circumstances. In this paper, I will argue that Clare¿s poetry deserves further study as the narrative of a man imprisoned not only by the confines of an insane asylum but the conditions of his birth and the subsequent establishment of the Enclosure Laws. Written during an era that witnessed the first stirrings of mental health reform, at least in a few of the more affluent institutions, Clare¿s poetry offers a view into the mind of a man and writer struggling to maintain an identity amidst the chaos.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Document from the year 2018 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 3.7, , language: English, abstract: The whole universe follows the same law, where movements are always from concentrated (rich) energies to diluted (poor) energies. However, many of our daily activities seem to follow the opposite law, bringing energy from diluted to concentrated areas. As a good example is the heat removed from the inside cool refrigerator to the outside warm kitchen. In order to obey the universal law, an energy need to be added to the pump of the refrigerant. Carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere are the result of generating this energy by burning natural resources, instead of using the free endless natural energies.In this consumer-based economy, consumer spending is seen as the 'engine' and the 'driving force' of economic growth. Using a general equation of transport phenomena, a new equation describing consumer spending is introduced in this book as a competition between a driving force and a resistance for spending. Based on this new definition, marketing and advertisement enhance the driving force for spending while the credit card role is to hinder the resistance due to the income. Because of the industrialization and the consumer¿s economy, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted every year started to increase sharply from the year 1950.In order to increase consumers spending, the strategy and the target of marketing and advertisement departments of many companies is to make us link happiness to comfort and pleasures. A simple case study, based on available data of the year 2011, shows that marketing and credit cards could have increased the energy consumption by 12.3% and added about 1.1 ppm of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The recent scientific data from climate change conference in Paris seem to tell us that lifestyle and behavioral changes are crucial to avoid more severe consequences of global warming. For example, if one billion households worldwide could save an amount of energy equivalent to one 60 Watt-bulb, the resulting reduction of the total amount of carbon dioxide sent to the atmosphere could represent 3.5% of the total amount needed to be reduced in order to stay in the ceiling of 2C by 2050. The challenge today is to redefine happiness away from consumption in order to avoid more severe natural disasters. Some people are already introducing the new 'minimalist' life style in order to depend less on consumption. Unlike comfort, discomfort is seen as crucial to our pursuit of genuine happiness.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 28 pp. Englisch.
