Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: 1,0, Hult International Business School, language: English, abstract: The management report focuses on the fitness industry, specifically analyzing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry's profitability and identifying trends and opportunities for future growth. The report is divided into two parts, with the first part exploring the fitness market in general by examining the overall market composition and identifying trends and impacts on profitability using the STEP framework and Porter's 5 forces. The report identifies the rise in health awareness among the population and the upsurge in the popularity of exercising at home during the pandemic as opportunities for the industry's future growth.The second part of the report focuses on Peloton, a brand in the fitness industry that has gained significant market power. The report provides an introduction to the company, defines its business model, and analyzes its strengths and weaknesses. Peloton is the world's largest interactive exercise platform, with more than 3 million active users. The company was the first to provide linked, technology-enabled fitness programs as well as the live streaming of immersive, instructor-led boutique courses that could be viewed from anywhere at any time.The report also examines the resources and capabilities that have enabled Peloton's growth in the fitness market. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic causing a decline in the fitness market, the report highlights that the trend towards home workouts with on-demand content has ensured Peloton's position in the highly competitive market. However, the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and the return to in-person gyms and training programs have caused Peloton's demand to decrease. As a result, the brand's stock price has decreased by x% within the last year, and it has momentarily paused manufacturing.The report suggests that Peloton needs to implement strong strategies to stay competitive and build resilience in global markets. These strategies have been applied on the Blue Ocean Strategy Model and consist of changing the pricing model of Peloton, creating a new product called the Peloton Watch to train independent of time, location, and equipment, and aiming for geographic expansion in countries with a similar demographic target group.Overall, the report highlights the challenges and opportunities facing the fitness industry and provides recommendations for Peloton to remain competitive and sustain its market position in the future. 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 1,0, Hult International Business School, language: English, abstract: The Trade Desk (hereinafter TTD) is a global technology firm with a focus on real-time programmatic marketing automation solutions, goods, and services, TTD identifies the main challenge on how TTD should work with significant TV platforms and pro- viders to help drive this culture change among advertisers. A potential for marketers has arisen as a result of the emergence of CTV. More influential platforms, including Netflix, Disney, and HBO Max, have lately committed offering discounted subscriptions in return for a few minutes of ads between series and movies. The promise of highly targeted, data-driven ad impressions for TV, which is frequently the largest campaign component, has replaced the conventional 'upfront' approach where marketers commit billions in advance with no clear notion of who will see their ads.To delve into this problem and narrow it down to finally come up with a more detailed research question, the 'peal the onion' approached was used. The funnel process within the framework of this research entails current data and its outlook of the ads market both for traditional as well as CTV ads, a breakdown of both advertisement methods, its bidding/allocation processes, differences as well as its ad- and disadvantages are explored. Furthermore, the significance of data collection opportunity for CTV ads and problems that might arise with it are discussed, addition- ally to opportunities and risks that could emerge with this new shift to CTV ads, before finally ending in the research question 'Can TTD revolutionize CTV advertising through neuromarketing and establish itself as the leading software platform for CTV platforms by displaying highly personalized ads to each unique user ' Even though the current CTV advertising already provides promising metrics to measure the success rate of the respective advertisements, ads are only dis- tributed to the according series and movies, rather to the user him-/herself. Thus, if TTD would establish a solution, to be able to show specific ads to specific users the value, both quantitative (ROI) and qualitive (visiting the website, shopping the product) will increase significantly. 20 pp. Englisch.

This payment should be granted without conditions or obligations, regardless of age, gender, income or employment status.The goal of UBI is to ensure a minimum level of economic security and social justice for all people. The introduction of a UBI is expected to improve the following aspects: Poverty is reduced, social protection is strengthened, and people's freedom and self-determination are increased.UBI is often discussed as an alternative solution to the current economic and social challenges of modern society, such as increasing inequality, unemployment due to automation and technological change, unequal opportunities and discrimination. UBI is intended to address these challenges by providing all citizens with a minimum level of security and freedom to improve their living situation and pursue their individual goals and dreams. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Sociology - Relationships and Family, grade: 1,7, Hult International Business School, language: English, abstract: This text analyzes the ethics of romantic relationships in the workplace, using the case of Harry C. Stonecipher, the former CEO of Boeing, who was forced to resign due to an inappropriate relationship with a female executive. The text evaluates the ethical research question of whether such relationships should be allowed in the workplace and examines labour laws in the US and Germany, where employers can use 'love contracts' to regulate these relationships. The text discusses the pros and cons of prohibiting romantic relationships in the workplace, including reducing the risk of harassment and avoiding conflicts of interest. However, such policies can be seen as an infringement on employee privacy and freedom, and some companies may have ulterior motives. The text concludes by proposing the hypothesis that love affairs should not be banned from the workplace and evaluating the question from various perspectives. Ultimately, organizations must consider the potential benefits and drawbacks of prohibiting workplace romances to determine whether such restrictions are necessary. 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Communications - Research, Studies, Enquiries, grade: 3.0, , course: Advanced Research Methods, language: English, abstract: Epistemology is a philosophical study of knowledge and what knowledge is, how it can be gained and proved to be certain, reasonable and acceptable. Since research is one way of gaining knowledge; understanding how epistemology and research interlinked are so decisive for conducting better quality research. Identifying the perspective of the study contributes much to the coherence to rationale of the study. This article therefore aimed at examining the definitions and meanings of epistemology; its contributions in facilitating research methodology, methods and strategies.To this end different literatures and articles on epistemology were assessed. Thorough examinations were made on how different authors defined and elaborated the definitions and meanings of epistemology. The interface of research methodology and epistemology were analyzed. The main epistemological approaches are keenly scrutinized to identify which particular paradigm is more common and repeatedly acknowledged by many writers.It is observed that giving brief epistemological philosophy up on which a given research stands/followed has paramount importance both to the researcher/writer and the reader. From the very onset; epistemology guides and informs the world view/ perspective of the researcher and therefore, the research paper. This makes the readers to adjust their views accordingly in order to better comprehend the core messages of the researcher. It is also helpful in how to consider and use the findings of the study. However since there are list of different approaches or component elements of epistemology; it sometimes raise confusion and difficulty to easily grasp the subject matter of epistemology. Because these paradigms are so much interrelated in a complex ways to the degree where they seem to be one and the same. For instance the difference between positivism and objectivism, relativism and subjectivism, constructivism and interpretivism is insignificant to many researchers, particularly to the novice ones. Again, though epistemology tries to explain what knowledge is, how it can be acquired, justified, and what sources of reliable knowledge are; so far no unanimous agreement and conviction among the scholars in the field. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Scientific Essay from the year 2023 in the subject Chemistry - Nuclear Chemistry, grade: 70, University of Greenwich, language: English, abstract: Technically, it is possible to separate uranium from seawater. This design paper seeks to propose a process intensified way to separate uranium from seawater using amidoxime containing polymer due to the high affinity of the uranyl-carbonate complex towards the polyamidoxime resin. The process justification was based on the economic criteria: production cost, physicochemical criteria: concentration and reactivity, technical criteria: extracting methods from a complex aqueous system.The separation process firstly is the adsorption of uranyl ions using ionic exchange resin in the form of a chelating polymer adsorbent. A buoyant platform with adsorbent polymer made of polyethylene fibres that comes into contact directly with seawater powered by a wind turbine which is mounted on top of the platform, continuously takes the adsorbent from the seawater after campaign time through an elution and regeneration process and then returns it to the seawater for reuse. After the adsorbent has been loaded with uranyl ions, additional downstream processes are explored to recover the uranium including cleansing of the adsorption polymer to remove organic materials, desorption: elution of the adsorbed uranium ions from the adsorption polymer with a suitable solution, purification of the eluent: removal of other desorbed compounds, concentrating the solution, solvent extraction of uranium from the solution with a mixture of an organic solvent and a specific complexing agent and finally conversion into yellow cake or uranium oxide U_3 0_8. Next, factors that go into the Uranium separation cost and financial justifications have been included. In the future, we recommend researchers to make use of organically sourced, biodegradable substrates such as chitin which could be a good source of green chemistry alternative to conventional plastic polymers that represents a potential source of an uneasy degradable solid pollutant. 24 pp. Englisch.

The formation mechanism of fullerene involves the following steps: Nucleation, Growth, Rearrangement, Fusion, Annealing and purification.The proposed formation mechanism of fullerenes is based on a combination of experimental observations and theoretical models. In the early 1990s, researchers discovered that carbon clusters produced by methods such as laser ablation or arc discharge contained closed-cage structures consisting of pentagonal and hexagonal rings, which were later identified as fullerenes. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: This paper investigates how the ambivalent, perhaps even ambiguous definition of ¿historiä relates to the representation of history in the novel and how this representation again relates to its functionalisation by Tom Crick. To answer this question, this paper will primarily work with Linda Hutcheon¿s notion of ¿historiographic metafiction¿ while also pointing out similarities to the reading of Waterland as a trauma narrative. In taking a closer look at the protagonist-narrator himself, this paper argues that the protection ¿from chaos and disorder¿, which Landow addresses, is only achieved through a form of historical escapism.Superficially speaking, Graham Swift¿s Waterland is a novel about a history teacher who, having lost his job, forsakes the formal teaching of history, and embarks on anextracurricular journey into his own past. However, upon closer examination, Waterland is more than that, a novel about history itself. It explores ¿the whole mystery of ¿history¿¿, as Swift himself puts it in the introduction to the novel (Waterland, xv). Thus, it is only logical that the novel prefaces its narrative with an insightful epigraph: a dictionary definition of the Latin word ¿historiä, from which the English word ¿history¿ originates. As can be seen above, however, said definition is ambivalent- it is ¿inherently polysemantic¿ as Judith Ryan notes. James Acheson has likewise pointed out that the fact that ¿historia can mean either history or fiction is significant, for the historian and the writer of fiction must deal with similar problems in writing about the past¿. The natural tendency of language towards proliferation of its meaning aside, the epigraph leaves us with a very ambivalent concept of history, which the narrative of Waterland, in its dealing with history, then builds on. Since such a prominent theme in Waterland, the novel¿s representation of history has been thoroughly examined in secondary literature; particularly against the theoretical background of what Linda Hutcheon has identified as ¿historiographic metafiction¿.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,0, University of Paderborn, language: English, abstract: This term paper is set out to investigate how Jewish humour is represented in 'The Nanny' and what kind of affect it has on the viewers. To shed light on this matter, this research paper will first talk about the way humour is used in Jewish history in order to handle and cope with the past and the way it might vary depending on the medium for which it is used for. These findings and elements will be taken into consideration for the following analysis of the first and last season of The Nanny series, since some audiences have mentioned a negative change in humour and content in comparison to the first released episodes. Afterwards, these comparisons and findings will once again be compared to general reviews of the audience, thereby, this term paper wants to answer the question of the function of humour in The Nanny and whether the viewers accept this way of processing the past or if it failed by ridiculing history.When I was a child, I watched The Nanny every day after school and enjoyed every minute of it. I laughed; I cried and felt for every character on screen. However, the only thing I never really understood until I was older, was the Jewish humour, or rather the jokes, which they make about the Jewish traditions and religion. I laughed anyway, because the atmosphere and setting in which it was told, was set to make you laugh. However, after learning everything about the history of the Jewish religion, re-watching the show felt slightly different. It was still entertaining and meant to be funny, but there was some seriousness and uncomfortable feeling going along with it and personally raised the question of how The Nanny series had been perceived among the Jewish community.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Pedagogy - Higher Education, , language: English, abstract: The pandemic generated by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) remains a serious public health concern. The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled university teaching to prioritize the transition from in-person to remote instruction, especially laboratory teaching. As the laboratory set-up will now consist of face-to-face interactions, a curriculum that includes both virtual and hands-on phlebotomy laboratory simulations has been developed by the PHINMA Saint Jude College - School of Medical Laboratory Science in order to better prepare students for the hands-on laboratory courses that they will be taking before their actual classes. The outcome demonstrates that the students were successful in their coursework, which contributed to an increase in their level of self-assurance towards phlebotomy. As a result, the approach achieves its stated goal of reducing students' phlebotomy-related anxiety. 20 pp. Englisch.

DGS, language: English, abstract: The paper deals with the Systematic Appraisal of codex XI. It gives an an in-depth appraisal of Codex Xi in relation to the New Testament.Charles W. Hedrick writes, Codex XI was among the groups of codices possessed by the antiquities dealer Phocion J. Tano during 1946 to 48. It was kept at the Department of Antiquities in 1949, taken to the Coptic Museum on 9th June 1952, made national property by court action in 1956, and assigned the inventory number 10547 in the year of 1959. Jean Doresse and Togo Mina numbered it IV in 1949, Henri-Charles Puech numbered it VI in 1950, Doresse numbered it VIII in 1958 and Martin Krause numbered it XI in 1962 and James M. Robinson in 1968. In May and June 1961 it was preserved in 80 plexiglass containers by Victor Girgis after consulting Pahor Labib and Martin Krause. Pictures were taken in part by R. Herzog for Krause at that time and again by photographers of the Center of Documentation for UNESCO in the year 1965. Fragments were set and photographs done at its four work meetings during 1970 to 72 and at the work meetings funded by the Smithsonian Institution through the sponsorship of the American Research Center in Egypt in 1974 to 75, under the supervision of the Technical Sub Committee of the International Committee for the Nag Hammadi Codices of the Arab Republic of Egypt and UNESCO. Codex XI is one of the most poorly conserved among the Nag Hammadi Codices. No relatively complete leaves survive except for three leaves (59/60, 61/62, 63/64), which are rebuilt from two to four fragments apiece, and mainly, only the lower fourth to three fourths survive intact, meaning that the page numbering to be expected at the top of the pages is lacking, with the exception of one fragment from a first hand with page numbers 19 to 20 at the center of the top margin. 24 pp. Englisch.

This is because low students¿ achievement in science educational programs has remained a great concern for all and for a long time and science literate individuals make greater contributions towards development.In response, Uganda government among other strategies recommended paying higher salaries to all her scientists¿ employees. Students¿ science performance in northern Uganda primary teachers¿ colleges persistently remained low for a long time in spite of several efforts made for improvement. Good science teaching which improves performance demands for a graduate teachers¿ full understanding of characteristics of science knowledge.Characteristics of science refers to different ways by which science knowledge or information can be explained or described correctly, for example, science knowledge is subjective and tentative. This study therefore investigated levels of tutors¿ understanding of characteristics of science knowledge, their educational qualifications and year one and two students¿ performance in Kyambogo University promotional and final 2017 and 2018 science education examinations results. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics.The results indicated tutors have recommended qualifications but lack understanding of characteristics of science knowledge and students¿ performance is also low. The condition requires Kyambogo University to ensure immediate integration of science tutors¿ training curriculum with the framework of ideas of characteristics of science knowledge. In addition, education managers should organize and plan for workshop training for tutors on characteristics of science knowledge. 24 pp. Englisch.

Because it lacks the sophistication and imaginative complexity of such works, Frankenstein affords a unique introduction to the archetypal world of the Romantics.'This quotation by Harold Bloom, focuses on the aspect of why the novel Frankenstein is so important and why it stands out compared to other novels of the same genre. The argument is discussed later in this paper. Consequently, more questions are answered: What is Shelley's style of writing Which elements does the novel Frankenstein consist of, and what makes it differ from other Gothic novels The paper's aim is to answer these questions and to give information about the question: Is Frankenstein a typical Gothic novel The structure is as follows. At first, the context of the novel is explained by giving background information about the author Mary Shelley. Subsequently, the Gothic genre is introduced, followed by the Gothic themes in 'Frankenstein' which are analyzed under different aspects. Lastly, the findings are compiled in the conclusion. 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject History - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: The Black Death, the plague pandemic that killed 25 to 75 per cent of Europeans from 1346 to 1353, was the deadliest pandemic recorded in history. Today, almost 700 years later, we are in the midst of the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic that has disrupted our everyday lives in almost every aspect. Having killed millions of people and infected hundreds of millions more, it will most likely deeply affect our society, economy, and culture, just like the Plague caused long-term cultural and social transformations.Like the Pestilence, the Covid-19 pandemic was an unexpected catastrophe that originated in East Asia and was brought to Europe through Italy. Of course, there are differences, like the total world population, the characteristics of the disease, the civilisational conditions and medical knowledge. However, despite an immense scientific, socio-economic and mental gap, there are still many similarities in the consequences of the disease. There are profound effects on the global economy, culture, and mobility of the Middle Ages and today. The economic activity of businesses and companies, travel, cultural events, and personal relations are all limited. These extreme changes have significantly impacted our way of life, attitudes, and behaviours. Even human reactions are similar in some ways. We can compare the psychological effect of living reckless, immoral lives in the 14th century to the so-called ¿corona parties¿ of 2021.The Great Mortality had intense effects on medieval Europe, including London, where it was particularly disastrous and claimed tens of thousands of lives.
