Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 9, University of Groningen (Business Economics), course: Bsc International Business, language: English, abstract: In this thesis a comparison is made between the H&M Group and Inditex to measure the differences in overall performance of outsourcing and in-house production in the apparel industry. Outsourcing is often discussed in the literature as the perfect solution to cost reductions however the literature lacks results on the actual performance; this article measures the performance obtained through outsourcing and in-house production. H&M is studied because it has a fully outsourced production, where Inditex mostly produces its products in-house. Performance is measured by the follow variables: costs, agility, asset utilization and product quality. Costs and asset utilization were measured using an independent samples t-test; comparing costs of goods sold salary expenses and overall expenses as a percentage of the revenue, asset utilization is measured by comparing the return on assets ratio. Agility is studied by an in-depth analysis and product quality based on a survey on consumer perception. The results show that H&M has significantly reduced its costs by outsourcing, while Inditex with higher costs is able to keep a very short lead-time. H&M has been successful in increasing return on assets and product quality is perceived equal for both companies. This article contributes to the field of research by showing that outsourcing does lead to cost reduction, however in-house production leads to better performance in agility. 36 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Scientific Study from the year 2015 in the subject Physics - Nuclear Physics, , language: English, abstract: The present paper contains the interactions of beta particles in many ways. In the first part, where the beta particles are attenuated by an absorber, I have calculated the mass attention coefficient for different materials. In the next part the beta particles producing the bremsstrahlung have been studied.It is well known that any charged particle or a neutral particles when entered into target material, loses its energy either by ionizing exciting the atom or the particle may be completely absorbed by the material's atoms.In the present study, we have used the beta source Tl-204. These beta particles when incident on the different materials (metals or compounds) interact with the atoms of the target materials by the three processes as stated above. The beta particles are incident on the target material and depending on the decrease in the counts of the particles detected for increasing thickness of the target, the mass attenuation coefficient for the absorbing of beta particles for different materials have been found. The mass attenuation for different metals as well as for different compounds and compounds salts have been studied. By knowing the mass attenuation coefficient the linear attenuation coefficient of the corresponding metal or compound has been found. Also the dependence of mass attenuation coefficient of metals and compounds on the density of the respective metals and compounds have been successfully studied.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Literature Review from the year 2015 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 3, Akdeniz University (Vocational School of Technical Sciences), language: English, abstract: Two papers are critically reviewed in this study: ¿Bench-Scale Investigation of Inclined Dense Jets¿ by Cipolla and others (2005) and ¿Vertical Penetration of Double-Diffusive Water Plumes Discharged Vertically Downward¿ by Pantokratoras (2003).The main goal is to provide new experimental information on the behavior of dense jets issuing from nozzles variously inclined on the horizontal plane. Also, to develop suitable Froude number equation for double diffusive plumes, in which discharge temperature is greater than that of the ambient water whereas the discharge salinity is smaller than that of the ambient sea water.Another objective is to prove the Turner`s Equation (Pantokratoras 2003) is unsuitable for double diffusive plumes and to develop this equation.Most of the investigations on dense jet diffusion dealt with jets issuing vertically in the environment, despite the fact that it has been long known that inclined dense jets result in higher values of dilution.The water temperature in the tank (1.5 m long, 0.45 m wide, filled with water up to 0.60 m above the bottom) was in the range 18¿20° C, ¿ ~10-6 m2/s. The solution employed to feed the jets was colored and prepared by dissolving NaCl in tap water in a suitable lab-scale rectangular batch storage tank. Three different jet densities were tested: 1,055, 1,098, and 1,179 kg/m3. Brass nozzles have four different diameters (d0) (1.12, 2, 3, and 4 mm). The initial discharge Reynolds numbers ranged from 2,500 to 10,400, depending on nozzle size and jet features, and therefore flow at the nozzle outlet was always turbulent.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

The building, inaugurated in 2003, is situated on a hill of the outskirts of the Scottish city Dundee.The postmodern architect Gehry tried to let form support and complement the function in order to make this unit for cancer patients as liveable and comfortable as possible. As a result, the inclusion of aesthetics as well as social meaning make the building a great object for a cultural reading.First of all, I will supply a brief overview of important architectural features of the ¿Maggie's Centre¿. Subsequently, these features will be used to attempt a cultural reading of the building. 12 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Sociology - Politics, Majorities, Minorities, , course: Bachelor of Commerce, language: English, abstract: The Muted Group Theory was initially proposed by social anthropologists, Ardener and Ardener, in their book 'Belief and The Problem of Women'. The proposers of this hypothesis say that muted groups are those gatherings in the society that have practically no power and that they experience difficulty when communicating or giving out their voice on issues in the society on the grounds that they have less power in participating in the making of the language they use. The power rests upon the majority. Thus, for them to pass their recognitions to the society they should re-encode their thoughts and activities to make them comprehended in the general population circle.In understanding this theory, it just implies that sure minority groups or rather aggregates that are seen to be minority in the society think that it is difficult to communicate in a language that the majority has produced for the overall population. This is on the grounds that the language supports the creators over a second or outsider that uses that language. The idea of minority or majority can be based on sex, age, skin shading, and religion, spot of source or class.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 12 pp. Englisch.

It is shown, that in a remarkably short period, China increased its urban population to more than 50 percent of the entire population. This rapid urbanization was mainly driven by rural-urban migration in the course of the industrialization process and by the in situ urbanization, as a mainly government related factor. The paper afterwards identifies energy and resources, pollution and land consumption as the major areas where by urbanization caused challenges need to be tackled.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: B, University of Canberra, language: English, abstract: The controversy surrounding the definition of terrorism has led to minimalistic approaches to the issue thus reducing a clear cut understanding of what terrorism entails. The fact that the practice is fuelled by emotional and political motivation makes it even more difficult for scholars to come to a common ground on what really constitutes terrorism if at all a definition cannot surmise. However, the studies in terrorism activities have given better insight than all politically self serving semantic propaganda that everyone uses to justify or condemn terrorism.A close analysis of a terrorist group in an existing socio political and economic context is the only valid method to help us understand what terrorism is and all the other germane issues that surround the controversial subject. For this purpose, I have selected the most well known terrorist group in the world al-Qaeda as a case study to try and understand the fundamental issues that make it the most feared group and what qualifies it as a terrorist group in the first place.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Far East, grade: D (Distinction), Murdoch University, course: Development Studies, language: English, abstract: This essay analyses the key stakeholders representing Chinese aid and subsequently discusses the opportunities and challenges of Chinese aid to the Islanders. It argues that Chinese aid is commercially driven. Although it has been provided for strategic interests, it has further offered new opportunities and challenges for the Pacific countries.The essay first examines the Chinese rise and the characteristics of its international aid programmes. Next it focuses on the role of development aid in the Pacific and determines whether aid has been utilised for political gains.Over the last two decades, China has emerged as a leading provider of development aid assistance in developing countries in Africa, Latin America and in recent times, in the Pacific Islands. Chinäs quest to maintain its increasing population and continue to expand its economic growth at world stage level has exacerbated Chinäs engagement with resource developing countries. This increasing intensification of China's development aid programme in developing countries has been prominent towards the late 1990s, mostly driven by the China ¿go out¿ strategy. The ¿go out¿ strategy is Chinäs aid model that combines both private and State-Owned Enterprises (SEOs) to venture into resource-based countries to create market-led investment through support from the Chinese government.The overarching focus of Chinäs development aid is to assist other developing countries achieve their self-development objectives. The Chinese policy is framed within the context of accessibility to natural resources, such as oil, mining and gas in exchange for promoting growth in developing countries. This approach to aid seems to be changing the way development aid had been delivered. But critics of rising Chinese aid and diplomacy particularly in the Pacific Island countries are suspicious and doubtful of what Chinese motivation in Oceania could be. Some scholars, for instance Henderson and Reilly (2003), unequivocally claim that Chinese intensification in Pacific countries will destabilise the relationship between the United States and the Island countries, alluding to the Cold War between China and the US. Similarly, Windybank (2005) asserts that Chinese aid is given as a recipe to undermine Taiwan¿s interest. However, others have argued that Chinese aid in the Pacific is commercially led and geared towards increasing aid visibility and providing alternatives for the Islanders, and not geopolitical in nature.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

In the Introduction to The Location of Culture, Bhabha reflects on aspects of hybridity in the context of the ¿in-between¿ of cultures. The essay will briefly discuss a passage taken out of this book in order to get a better idea about the significance of the term hybridity. Afterwards, the idea of hybridity will be transferred to Derek Walcott¿s poem ¿A Far Cry from Africä.¿The stairwell as liminal space, in-between the designations of identity, becomes the process of symbolic interaction [¿]. This interstitial passage between fixed identifications opens up a possibility of a cultural hybridity that entertains difference without an assumed or imposed hierarchy. ¿ (Bhabha 2004: 3)The term ¿hybridity¿, which is a very frequently used construct in post-colonial studies, seeks to explain the melting of different cultural ideas into one entity. 12 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,7, The University of Western Australia (Arts, Humanities and Social Studies), course: Britain in the 20th century, language: English, abstract: Being hailed by many as 'the greatest living Englishman', Churchill played probably the most decisive role in Britain's 20th century politics. Churchill's unconditional love for the British Empire combined with his determination for expanding and defending it were his overall motivation for an active political life that spanned a period of more than half a century.An essential contribution to Churchill¿s ¿success¿ as a war leader was his unflagging commitment. According to Callahan, Churchill believed himself to be a man of destiny, who saw all his past life as a preparation for becoming PM one day, a vision he had repeatedly imposed on strangers. This vision and its final implementation generated his incredible force and conviction in wielding power during the war. Despite the clear fact that the British army¿s leadership, equipment, training and techniques were insufficient to defeat Hitler Germany, he never lost faith in the war¿s final outcome. Churchill showed his fiercedetermination by sustaining a ninety-hour week during his whole premiership. Even a heart attack and a bout of pneumonia in his late sixties could not dissuade him from running the office. However, it was not only his unbreakable commitment that built up his popular constituency within the common citizenry but also his ability to relate to common people. Developing his own trademarks ¿ the two-finger ¿V¿ sign, the ever-present cigar ¿ he toured embattled cities and soon became ¿Good old Winnie¿. This popularity was reflectedthrough rather uncommonly high ratings, such as the Gallup Poll in October 1940 immediately after the battle of Britain, which gave a popular approval rating of 89% for Churchill. 12 pp. Englisch.

My main concern here is the way input (i.e., tenses) is presented to learners. Krashen¿s hypothesis seems to pay more attention on meaning at the expense of form and use. I will ultimately suggest a more productive and interesting way of introducing tenses in a natural context. That is through literature.The paper starts with a brief description of Krashen¿s Input Hypothesis followed by a critical discussion of some anticipated definitions and principles. I will also try to conclude some shortcomings and benefits of it. Next, the discussion moves towards when and how learning becomes acquisition.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

The study was made through the use of notes on observations and expressed concerns which were intended to develop a consensus with regard to the required amendment. Phenomenology was employed since this design helps in knowing abiding concerns regarding the ¿language policy¿ and of lived experience.Data were gathered through formally written answers from all the twenty-four respondents. Earlier language policy was established through strict regulations imposed by the school authority. Soon after withdrawing the existing practice, students returned to their habit of speaking their own vernacular languages. Compared to English, students did feel comfortable to speak Dzongkha (the national language). Our findings are that in spite of well-known difficulties, teachers need to provide adequate guidance by being role model whereby students will understand the correlation of native language and second language, and the adverse effect of avoiding Dzongkha and English.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Literature - Modern Literature, , course: BA in Languages, language: English, abstract: Many problems happen in family life due to the lack of communication between husband and wife. In the poem 'Home Burial' by Robert Frost, the poet says that there is a distance between husband and wife because of their lack of understanding and the communication. By doing so, the author tries his best to give an idea about an ideal home.Human beings are always willing to live with happiness in their mind. For such kind of happiness, home is the most appropriate place for a person. That is why, there is a clear difference between the terms 'home' and 'house'. Home is a place wherepeople live with feelings and emotions. House is also a place where people can live. However, the house is distant from feelings and emotions of the people.Using the central theme 'home', Robert Frost composes a poem which implies how a man and woman struggle with some difficulties in their own home, after the burial of their child. Depicting the relationship between these two people as husband and wife who live under the same roof, Frost tells us how the relationship and living conditions within a home should be. Frost directly tells us the problematic nature of a house in his poem ¿Home Burial¿ and through that the poet indirectly tells us how a home should be.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1.00, Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH, language: English, abstract: This paper¿s thesis is that President Woodrow Wilson¿s rational approach in the pursuit of idealistic foreign policy goals produced an indication among other factors of a failure of the mandate system and the system of collective security in the interwar years (1918-1938).Maintaining world peace after the ¿war to end all wars¿ (Knock, 1992) can be regarded as the decisive message of US President Thomas Woodrow Wilson¿s speeches on the ¿Peace without victory¿ on 22nd January 1917 in front of the Senate and on the ¿Fourteen Points for Peace¿ on 8th January 1918 in front of the Congress.Fuelled by the post-war ¿excitement of the moment¿ (McNamara and Blight, 2001) and ¿feeling[s] of supreme optimism, moral conviction, and idealism¿ (McNamara and Blight, 2001), Wilson demanded the formation of the League of Nations, an institutional framework that would enforce democratic decision-making outcomes and guarantee the establishment and maintenance of a ¿peace without victory¿.The paper¿s discussion of the United States foreign policy is conducted in two dimensions. The theoretical dimension will outline the concept of liberal internationalism and Wilsonian idealism by analyzing his speech of the 22nd January 1917 in front of the Senate and the 18th January 1918 in front of the Congress. It will further define the concept of Realpolitik that expresses ideas of rationality in foreign policy decision-making and present its boundaries and alternatives.The practical dimension will apply the theoretical groundwork on two incidents: Administration and distribution of pre-war colonies and the idea of collective security.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

It is a theoretical model in which educators give students the best support in principles of learning and the recommended practice to achieve their highest individual potential. Creative/productive people need to have a equal interaction among three human traits: above average ability, task commitment, and creativity. Therefore the Enrichment Triad Model was created and it consists of three types of achievement training. The Schoolwide Enrichment Model, the Three-Ring Conception of Giftedness, the Enrichment Triad Model and the Revolving Door Identification Model will be explained and discussed.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.

Lamb¿s life even though it may appear to have glistened on the surface reeked of intense pain and suffering.Lamb led an active public life though his inward thoughts were a very private matter altogether. He was the best of friends and only those close to him knew of his dilemma. A detailed description of Lamb¿s personal life together with a concise history of psychoanalysis has been laid out so as to determine the psychology behind Lamb¿s ¿reverie¿.The unconscious is given a favourable position in the human mind, which is seen as a justifiable outlet of all the suppressed and the forgotten.

Cook 2008, James and Leather 1996). There is a roiling debate on the meaningfulness of the native speaker as the target of teaching pronunciation. Following Gonzáles-Nueno (1997), the ultimate goal in teaching is to make the student ¿sound like a native speaker¿ (261). On the other side, Abercrombie (1991: 93) argues in favour of the comprehensibility. The main goal of teaching L2 (second language) pronunciation is therefore to sound ¿comfortably intelligible¿ (ibid.)In this paper I will discuss the reasonableness of teaching native-like pronunciation. Should the native-speaker be the target of teaching pronunciation What are conceivable disadvantages In a first step, it is essential to give a definition of the native speaker. Secondly, in chapter 3.1, these definitions will be analysed with regard to the research question.Chapter 3.2 analyses the general goals of teaching a second language. These goals will be referred to the issue of teaching L2 pronunciation. Furthermore, I will provide a survey from Waniek-Klimczak (2002) about students¿ attitudes towards the issue of accent, pronunciation in general, and pronunciation teaching and compare the results with the general goals of L2 teaching.Chapter 3.3 will focus on the concept of Received Pronunciation (RP). I will analyse the advantages and disadvantages of teaching RP to L2 learners. As a last point, I will take up Major¿s (2001: 28) statement that everybody speak an interlanguage and discuss it. In the conclusion I will summarize the results of the analysis and try to give a final statement.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: A, , course: American Literature III, language: English, abstract: F. Scott Fitzgerald's stories ¿The Great Gatsby¿ and ¿Babylon Revisited¿ challenge standard notions of the term ¿love¿. From failed marriages to secret mistresses, the concept and expression of love is consistently problematized. Love is consecrated in the act of marriage in these stories and yet it is hardly enough to maintain stable relationships. What does this mean for Fitzgerald's leading ladies Are they able to manipulate the standard of love to gain autonomy and respect Fitzgerald¿s short story Babylon Revisited was published six years after the release of his critically acclaimed novel The Great Gatsby. Known for his autobiographical sketches, Fitzgerald¿s tales of post World War I fantasticism detail the journey of romantic ideals between man and woman. Both of these publications, alongside their motion picture counterparts, demonstrate that Fitzgerald¿s presentation of love is not always through the romantic ideals that the emotion endorses. In an era where fantasy and extravagance were the norm, Fitzgerald¿s demonstration of love transforms the emotion into a physical possession. Love becomes a purchasing power that Fitzgerald¿s women use to gain autonomy and respect.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 20 pp. Englisch.
