Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Amerika, Note: 1,0, Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Historisches Institut), Veranstaltung: Integriertes Proseminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Zuge dieser Arbeit wird die Frage geklärt, was die deutsche Einwanderung vor dem amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg von der Einwanderung nach dem Bürgerkrieg unterscheidet. Dabei soll insbesondere die sich ergebende Frage aufgegriffen und beantwortet werden, wie sich die industrielle von der bäuerlichen Migration unterscheidet. Dieser Wandel soll den Rezipierenden sodann an dem Beispiel des Matthias Dorgathen, einem deutschen Auswanderer, greifbar gemacht und erläutert werden. Nach dem Beispiel sollen in einer kurzen Gegenüberstellung noch einmal die wichtigsten Unterschiede zwischen den Migrationsphasen dargestellt werden.

Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies, Security, grade: 7 (dutch System), Maastricht University (Faculty of Social Science), course: Science and Technology Studies (STS), language: English, abstract: The technology of LAWS is discussed controversially: At the political level of states, in international institutions, the scientific field of AI and robotics, the companies working in these fields, the public and the media landscape.This paper aims to shed light on the question: How is the globally discussed technology of LAWS and its ban perceived by different social groups Currently, those who are against a ban dominate globally. These are powerful countries that are also leaders in the development of LAWS and refer to the justifications of experts and commercial players. In the following (Section 2), the controversy of banning LAWS is embedded in the scientific discourse on risk and uncertainty and a selection of the concepts is applied to the technology to not only emphasize the socio-political relevance mentioned in the introduction, but also the academic relevance. Next, the methodological concept of SCOT is introduced theoretically (Section 3) and then applied to the LAWS object of study (Section 4). Finally, the conclusion (Section 5) summarizes the main findings, highlights the limitations of the work, and suggests a way forward.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Scientific Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: 1,3, Zeppelin University Friedrichshafen, language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the question, whether variables, such as gender, influence the attitude towards abortion. The addressed discourse on abortion is often dominated by women. But even if they are directly affected by the issue, because they are carrying out the pregnancy, it is clear that men cannot be left out of the debate. Abortion is a difficult and therefore widely discussed moral issue, which is characterized by the fact that different value concepts meet and seem to elude any scientific discourse. The origin of the discussions about the regulation of abortion goes back a long way and yet it flares up again and again. A few months ago, for example, Poland tightened its already strict abortion law even further, declaring abortions unconstitutional due to the possibility of severe malformations of the unborn child. Overseas, fears of similar measures are growing because of the appointment of pro-abortion opponent Amy Coney Barrett as a Supreme Court judge. Germany, on the other hand, seems to be taking slow but steady steps in the opposite direction. In early 2019, the German Bundestag voted in favor of a new version of Section 219a of the German Penal Code, thus contributing in part to improving information on abortion. Paragraph 219a not only criminalized physicians quasi unintentionally, but also made it more difficult for those affected to access help. The debate about a change in the 'ban on information', was triggered by the case of the physician Kristina Hänel. She was sentenced to a fine in 2017 because she listed the word 'abortion' under the heading 'spectrum' on her website. Following the ensuing public debate, the responsible ministers spent several months preparing a new draft law to supplement the advertising ban. According to the bill, medical practices and hospitals will in future be allowed to advertise that they perform abortions. However, they are still not allowed to inform about which abortion methods they offer.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, , course: Data Science, language: English, abstract: The aim of this case study is to build a cultural guideline for the managers in a medium-sized mechanical engineering business in south Germany working in Brazil. The guideline is based on Hofstede¿s, Hall¿s, and Rotter¿s concept to evaluate cultural differences between Germany and Brazil.Globalization is used to describe the interdependence of the world¿s economies and cultures. These global interactions did reach its peak in the 19th century through technical breakthroughs such as steamships, railroads leading to an increase in human interactions throughout borders. Globalization did encourage the aspect of comparative advantage, meaning that each country can specify on products which require the least amount of resources. Trading these resources makes the production more efficiently, lowers the prize of goods and is daily practiced. Modern global economy makes intercultural cooperation indispensable for companies. International businesses face difficulties coming from a lack of intercultural understanding. Without the briefing on the cultural differences, misunderstandings and conflicts can occur easily. To keep up with the rising demand of intercultural interactions, it is mandatory to understand different cultures, values and their impact on the organizational operations within them. One of the most important tasks of a manager is to do the same task all over the world, but change how they do it. The strategy, structure, and actions suitable for the cultural background must change regarding the different cultural environment the manager is working at. In order to achieve organizational goals it is inevitable to adapt these aspects based on the socio-cultural environment. This goal can be achieved by cross-cultural management. Many studies have been obtained to answer conflicts arising from cross-cultural interactions. One aspect of addressing the roots of the cross-cultural conflicts is described by the dimensional approach by introducing multiple dimensions. Rotter defines national culture according to their locus of control (LoC) and uses a one dimensional model. Another approach to address cultural differences defined by Edward T. Hall does include the aspect of communication. The main focus here is on the verbal, as well as non-verbal communication and build on a three dimensional model. Hofstede explained the national culture according to a six dimensional model. 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 3.8, Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, language: English, abstract: This study investigates the customers' intention to pay the premium for green product, rather than their purchase intention crosswise over various product classes. It attempts to predict the factors that drive green purchase decisions and purchase intention. Organized surveys are utilized for data accumulation and ordinary least square regression, analysis of variance have been utilized for analysis of information. Results recommend the strength of customers' discernment about the functional parts of green products on their purchase intention. Extraordinary economic development activated by innovation revolution; globalization has prompted market driven development in consumption pattern in the rising economies. Change in consumption pattern has prompted overconsumption or unsustainable consumption and over abuse of assets. In the present period the worry over environmental downturn, decrease of environmental effect and practical development has turned into the topic of interest among the researchers, academicians, specialists and even industries. Consumer research perceives that their observations for a product, approach, understanding about the product and its producer and different contextual factors assume a prevailing part in their decision-making process. Purchase intention, which signifies the most extreme value that a consumer will pay for a specific or a heap of products, play a conclusive influence on their decision behaviour. Accordingly, in the crossroads of environmental decay, implementation of friendly environmental practices inclusive of green product consumption relies upon their tendency to pay the green value premium. The present study endeavours to dissect the factors predicting consumers' intention to pay the green value premium for products with green certification. The environmentally feasible or environmental good or green products involves a rundown of potential advantages to the environment as they are made of environmental-accommodating assets, have asset preservation potential, can be reused and have the least environmental effect at all phases of its lifecycle. In section two a concise depiction of the constructs has been given, trailed by research methodology in the third segment. The analysis of information with the findings of the study and conclusion are exhibited in the fourth and fifth section. The last segment gives the managerial ramifications of the study.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: 1,0, The American University, Washington, DC (Department for Social Science), course: Seminar 'Managing Pandemics in Globalized Societies', language: English, abstract: The COVID-19 response of China was not generally different than those of other countries ¿ social distancing, contact tracing, lockdown, vaccination ¿ however, Chinas authorities restricted the spread more effectively and prevented the second and third wave that nearly every other country experienced. Primarily responsible for this success was the very early and rigorously implementation of the measures above ¿ however, the costs to achieve the currently low numbers were high. Since the early days of the pandemic until today, Beijing has strictly enforced limitations of civil liberties, accepting ¿ and, as I will show in the following, even intending ¿ violations of human rights and freedom of expression as well as increased inequality and discrimination of marginalized and especially vulnerable groups.In this Policy Critique I will focus on two laws which criminalize the disruption of the public order in the analogous life and in the cyberspace which can be seen as new kind of public place. I argue that Article 293 of the 'Chinese Criminal Law' and the set of cyberspace guidelines known as 'Provisions on the Governance of the Online Information Content Ecosystem' were misused to suppress objective reporting and free speech during the COVID-19 pandemic.For this I will provide some background information about the original intention of the laws and the problems they were designed to address as well as about the general situation of press freedom in China and its position on relevant treaties of the United Nations (UN). Afterwards, I examine their application and effectiveness during the first months of the Coronavirus pandemic. Using several examples of policies that based on those laws, I will show how they were misused to suppress the freedom of expression of the Chinese population, especially affecting medical staff, journalists, and human rights activists. In the following I will evaluate Chinäs use of those policies, including potential consequences for neighboring countries and recommended reactions of the international community before I end with a short conclusion.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Health - Digital Health Management, grade: 1.7, Lund University (School of Economics and Management), language: English, abstract: Doctor visits and hospital stays are often characterized by inefficient processes, for patients and doctors as well as for hospitals and insurance companies. Enabled by new technologies, many of these processes can be digitized and thus made more efficient, accurate, and sustainable. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of how e-health services can contribute to greater sustainability through information and communications technology, both for the environment and for society, as well as to identify areas where e-health applications can still be optimized or where new problems arise. Digitization in healthcare continues to permeate all areas. For a long time now, it has not just been about pure telemetry, i.e. electronic communication between the involved parties, but also innovative systems such as the use of machine learning to detect irregularities in X-ray images (Kassania et al., 2021). This is also reflected in the increasing interest of companies and investors in the field of e-health. The amount of annual global investment in the digital health industry has increased from one billion US dollars in 2010 to 21.6 billion in 2020 (StartUp Health, 2021). This was also driven by the huge increase of 55% from 2019 to 2020, due to a very strong interest in e-health solutions during the COVID-19 pandemic (StartUp Health, 2021). E-health solutions offer many advantages for patients, doctors, health insurers, and hospitals. Processes become more efficient through digital communication, patients can receive remote diagnoses via video chat and have digital patient records, and doctors are supported in diagnoses and freed from bureaucratic tasks and can devote more time to their patients. However, due to the continued importance of the healthcare system to society and its long-term planning, consideration must also be given to how e-health can be made as sustainable as possible.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Pedagogy - Pedagogic Psychology, grade: 2,0, University of Heidelberg, course: Pädagogische Psychologie II, language: English, abstract: Compared to Closed-Book, Open-Book and single page Cheat-Sheet examination forms, utilizing Limited Notes on a social studies exam improves middle schoolers¿ performance and retention while lowering test anxiety. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, educators are forced to consider new evaluation forms because social distancing regulations have made traditional in-presence examinations less viable. This paper proposes that one such form, the LN examination, is superior to the previously researched CB, OB, and CS examination forms in terms of higher performance and retention as well as lower test anxiety. Students may perform better on an LN exam for a variety of reasons. This includes the likely increase in time spent studying and reviewing before an exam due to the requirements and parameters of preparing LN. A decrease in time spent searching through LN compared to OB during the exam should also provide superior performance. Furthermore, with the implementation of LN, examiners will be freer to generate more practical questions that test students¿ understanding and application abilities rather than rely on multiple choice and rote learning. An increase in performance in such exams with LN is expected compared to CB. This performance increase will likely only grow over time as students become familiar with studying for such reasoning- and application-based questions typical to an LN exam. Performance would further be increased due to the anticipated lowering of anxiety on such an examination type. Anxiety could conceivably be lower in the LN condition because students have access to all of the necessary material without needing to spend as much time and energy searching for the relevant information in their notes. Also, they may be comforted by the knowledge that they have much of the relevant material close at hand, further decreasing anxiety. Finally, long-term retention of the material could also be anticipated because the production of comprehensive LN likely increases memory coding of the material as well as decreasing dependency. The following study proposal suggests a comprehensive approach to test how the length of authorized notes affects middle school students¿ performance, retention, and anxiety in a social studies exam.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

I will mainly focus on two objections that are strongly connected with each other. The first one being the notion of free will, that is, that one can only be a moral saint by choice and out of one¿s own free will. The secound one is the notion that a moral saint will affect their surroundings in a way that will make up for the possible downsides of moral saintliness. 20 pp. Englisch.

In contrast to this approach, task-based approaches recognize language learning as imponderable or rather hardly predictable. 16 pp. Englisch.

The paper will analyze certain scenes in which actors of color are involved, and will then examine how they are represented in comparison to Caucasian actors.Furthermore, the paper gives some more background information about the current debate focussing on the non-diversity of the Academy Awards - better known as Oscars - and about casting practices that are performed by big Hollywood studios. In addition to that, it will present the most common stereotypes in which people of color are depicted.The Academy Awards - most commonly known as ¿Oscars¿ - are heavily criticized for their lack of diversity. In the year 2016, for the second time in a row, the Academy¿s 93 percent white membership had only nominated white actors for the respective awards. In addition to that, it has now been 15 years ago that the last actor/actress of color has won an Academy Award for best the best leading role. The under-representation of people of color in movies and the board¿s racist electoral behavior becomes even clearer when focussing on actresses of color.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: First, the terms internalized sexism and misogyny are clarified, followed by the presentation of the social role of women with the help of passages from the novel and the sacrifices they have to make. This is followed by the treatment of Lily by other women, in which misogyny is once again placed as the main focus of the women¿s actions. It is no secret that in the past (and partly even today) there has been no equal treatment and equality between men and women, which is the result of patriarchally led social and cultural structures and conventions. Women have always been subjected to fixed stereotypes and regulations that determine what a woman is allowed to do, how and what she is allowed to be. It is usually assumed that men form obstacles, which is logical in that all these expectations of women stem from a patriarchal value system. However, women also (and especially) form these obstacles in societies and make it difficult for many women to develop themselves, for example. Edith Wharton, among others, takes up this theme in her works while using ¿stereotypes of women purposefully to highlight the falsity of such categorising and to suggest the many deceptions and incongruities involved in accepting such ready-made conceptions of a woman's role in society¿. The House of Mirth is about Lily Bart, who tries in vain to re-establish herself in upperclass society after the death of her financially ruined parents. But as an unmarried and nonwealthy woman, this is not possible without a wealthy husband, which is why she must set out in search of a suitable man, but unfortunately a number of obstacles come in the way, mainly posed by women. Lidoff aptly summarizes Lily¿s end, ¿Lily dies at the novel¿s end, destroyed by the tyranny of social manners¿ (Lidoff 520). Lily¿s social relegation has several causes, but among them are (internalized) sexism and misogyny, which especially tempt other women to come between Lily and her goals. The aim of this essay is to show what social roles women had in the upper class society at the end of the 19th century and what a major role (internalized) sexism and misogyny play in Edith Wharton¿s novel. 16 pp. Englisch.

But in how far are women presented in the stories of Sherlock Holmes and does the portrayal allow inferences regarding the Victorian Era This paper tries to find overlaps betweenthe women in Sherlock Holmes and women in Victorian England. For reasons of the limited text size of this paper, only the original texts from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle will be dealt with. The various adaptations, that appeared later, will not be covered. The leading question of this term paper is: To what degree do Sherlock Holmes women conform to the gender roles in the Victorian Era To find answers on that question, the structure of the paper is as follows. First, a contextual overview about the Victorian Era will be given. The Era will be classified in time, such as historical developments. Secondly, gender roles in the Victorian Era will be discussed. The explanation will include roles of Victorian men for reasons of exemplification and comparison. However, this paper focus is in particular on the role of women in the Victorian Era. The roles of Victorian women will be structured into three sub-sections.One sub- section deals with the concept of separate spheres in the Victorian Era, another on the notion of love and marriage and lastly with the ideal image of women, sexual ethics and double standards in the Victorian Era. Afterwards, these sub-sections will be brought into context with the Sherlock Holmes stories. Therefore, the canon will be classified in the time context. Furthermore, exemplary women who appear in the canon will be analysed and their roles will be compared with the roles of Victorian women. The three sub-sections will be put in context with Sherlock Holmes., by trying to allow draw comparisons. Lastly, a conclusion will be made, and an outlook will be given towards possible further research. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: This essay is about how the roles of black women as enslaved persons are portrayed. Women have been socially and politically oppressed for centuries, even to this day in some parts of the world. They were deprived of (or denied) rights and social roles were imposed on them, which were mainly limited to their own home as wife and mother. As problematic as this situation was or still is in some cases and areas, it becomes more problematic when not only gender poses obstacles, but also origin or race. In the early 19th century, but especially after the Civil War, women in the USA came together and founded organizations and associations concerned with social welfare (especially for women) (Banner 100). Over the decades, more movements, organizations, and associations followed, working for political and social equality and equal rights for women, as well as fighting for rights, and mostly successfully from today¿s point of view (at least in the Western world). Despite these feminist movements fighting for equality, there were inequalities in the movements, namely race. A distinction must therefore be made between white feminism and black feminism. Toni Morrison contributed to drawing attention to black feminism with her novels or with the help of her female protagonists. This is also the case in her fifth novel Beloved published in 1987, in which, in addition to the main motif of slavery, other motifs such as trauma and memory, but also black feminism and womanhood are included. The protagonist Sethe lives together with her daughter Denver and with the ghost Beloved, who is her killed daughter. With the help of memories, flashbacks, and dreams (or nightmares), the story tells what the protagonist experiences during her time as an enslaved woman among other things, how she is able to escape slavery, what happens (also immediately) after her escape and how she deals with her memories and her past. In this process, (sexual) abuse, oppression of the enslaved females, and the difficulties of motherhood ¿ always in addition to the agonies of slavery and racism ¿ can be found in the novel. 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: In the following, I will first present the individual gender roles of the Puritans and those of the 19th century, demonstrating how they have changed, followed by an account of the feminine gender roles of Hester and her daughter Pearl. Finally, I will briefly present the extent to how the gender roles in the novel are shifted. The topic of gender roles is an area in society that has been a point of debate for several centuries. Even today, in many parts of the world, gender equality is discussed and fought for. Genders are assigned fixed characteristics and behaviors that are supposed to be followed to conform to society. If someone does not behave according to their gender role, it can very often lead to conflicts within society, even today. Gender roles are changing, but this is not a new phenomenon. Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote the novel The Scarlet Letter, which takes place about 200 years before his time. The novel is about a woman who has committed adultery and who has given birth to a child out of marriage. As punishment, she must wear the scarlet letter A at chest height for the rest of her life, a symbol of shame. This circumstance does not sound appropriate to our times, and even in the 19th century, when Hawthorne wrote the novel, some gender roles of the 17th century were no longer appropriate. The protagonist, Hester Prynne, does not conform to the conventions of her time and emancipates herself from the Puritan gender roles and even ends up not being condemned for it. Furthermore, she and the child¿s father - the priest Arthur Dimmesdale - both demonstrate an exchange of gender roles in their ways of acting and characteristics. 16 pp. Englisch.

Die Thematik bietet im Allgemeinen mehrere Sprechanlässe, weshalb es für jeden Lernenden möglich sein wird, sich diesbezüglich zu äußern.Bei der Auswahl der Materialien für diese Einheit liegt der Fokus vor allem auf einem Lied der französischen Sängerin Isabelle Geffroy, welche 1980 in Tours, Frankreich geboren wurde und heute unter dem Künstlernamen ¿Zaz¿ bekannt ist. Es handelt sich hierbei um das Lied ¿Je veux¿, dass von ihrem Debütalbum ¿Zaz¿ stammt, welches 2010 erschien. Seither gehört sie zu den erfolgreichsten Sängerinnen Frankreichs und landete mit ihrer Debütsingle ¿Je veux¿ auf Platz eins der Charts in Frankreich. Doch auch in anderen europäischen Ländern, wie beispielsweise Deutschland entwickelte sich der Song zu einem echten Hit und hielt sich über mehrere Wochen in den Charts.Die folgenden Ausführungen und Zeilenangaben sind im Wesentlichen auf Seite X im Anhang nachzuprüfen. In dem Lied ¿Je veux¿ geht es darum, dass das lyrische Ich erläutert, was für ihn persönlich Glück bedeutet. Dabei spricht es den Hörer direkt an. In den zwei Strophen kommt vor allem zum Ausdruck, was das lyrischen Ich nicht will, wohingegen in dem Refrain all das beschrieben wird, was es will.In der ersten Strophe sind mehrere Gegenüberstellungen erkennbar. Diese werden vor allem durch die Imperative, die auf das vous und das je abzielen (vgl. Z. 1, 3, 4, 6), durch einen Begriff aus dem Bereich des Luxus (vgl. Z. 1-6) und durch die persönliche Ablehnung dieses Angebots (vgl. Z. 1-6) seitens des lyrischen Ichs deutlich.Im Refrain werden hingegen die zentralen Werte hervorgehoben, die für das lyrische Ich bedeutsam sind (vgl. Z. 7, 9, 10). Diese Begriffe grenzen sich deutlich von den Luxusbegriffen aus der ersten Strophe ab. Dies wird vor allem durch die Aussage ¿Ce n'est pas votre argent qui f'ra mon bonheur¿ ersichtlich (vgl. Z. 8). Ebenfalls auffällig ist die verwendete Umgangssprache des lyrischen Ichs ab dem Refrain, die vor allem durch das Verschlucken der Silben zum Ausdruck kommt (vgl. Z. 7, 8, 9). Damit wird vor allem die Distanz zur ¿gehobenen Gesellschaft¿, also dem vous aus der ersten Strophe betont.

Accordingly the key concepts of intersectional feminism and the role of intersectionality in children and young adult literature will be discussed more in detail. Subsequently, the second chapter will deal with the analysis of the dimensions of culture, gender and race and their role in an intersectional identity, as well as the explanation for the Latino colonial background and its effects on women¿s lives. Then, mainly focusing on the protagonist Xiomara and her mother Mami, chapter three will explore the core subjects of the construction and perception of the female body, lack of sex dialogue and sexism in the family environment, and the forms of sexual empowerment and emancipation in the story, after which the conclusions will be presented.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.

Accordingly, this research paper hypothesizes a positive relationship between political news consumption and the individual responsibility to climate change. Through applying multivariate OLS-regressions to a sample of German citizens of the European Social Survey dataset from 2016, the hypothesized relationship can also be observed empirically. A gap regarding the personal responsibility to climate change between people who do consume political news and people who ignore political news can be identified. Based on these results, clear policy implications can be developed to raise the amount of political news consumption for news ignorers to broaden the extent of an individual's responsibility to act against climate change and to develop remedies against this collective action problem. 24 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Sociology - War and Peace, Military, grade: 1,0, Hawai'i Pacific University, language: English, abstract: Two strategic conceptions have essentially determined the development of contemporary strategies. One of these conceptions is the Prussian general Carl Philip Gottfried von Clausewitz, described in his famous work 'On War.' His strategic considerations have had a decisive influence on the military treatises and investigations of Engels and Lenin. Their studies, in turn, made possible the development of Soviet strategy of the present day, as formulated primarily by Marshal Sokolovsky and his co-authors in their work 'Military Strategy,' published in 1962 and revised again and again since then. However, various theses and conclusions in Clausewitz's conception also decisively influenced the strategic considerations of the American neo-Clausewitzians after 1957, such as the game theorist Schelling or the escalation theorist Kahn. The American nuclear strategy of mutually assured destruction 'MAD' of McNamara (1967) and the NATO strategy of flexible reply have also been worked out primarily based on the considerations of these theorists. The other conception is that of the Chinese theorist Sun Tzu, developed in the 5th century and outlined in his work 'Art of War.' The work has been copied and reprinted again and again throughout Chinese history. Mao Tse-tung based his strategy of guerrilla warfare, recorded in his 'Selected Military Writings,' on Sun Tzu's theses. Mao Tse-tung's conception has influenced the various strategy of guerrilla warfare after 1945. The paper at hand will analyze both theories focusing on differences and similarities between the two conceptions in terms of strategic objectives, decision-making processes, strategic means, and mode of deployment. 24 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Agrarian Studies, , language: English, abstract: This paper provides an overview of agricultural cooperatives versus model farmers in the malting barley value chain in Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, per capita beer consumption increased by 20% annually. Thus, the increase in beer demand invited the emergence of multiple foreign beer factories towards the beer production that opened the door for malt barley contract farming. Malt barley contract farming was firstly introduced by Diageo followed by Heineken beer companies. Along the value chain of malt barley contract farming, agricultural cooperatives and model farmers are known chain actors. While some literature reveals the positive outcome of agricultural cooperatives in other agricultural activities, others verify agricultural cooperatives as the ineffective one.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 36 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Project Report from the year 2021 in the subject Engineering - System Science, grade: 3.9, Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, language: English, abstract: This paper examines the idea of increasing the pumping capacity of the Chad-Cameroon pipeline system by using second-generation drag reduction agent (DRA) technology. Evidence shows that it is technologically feasible to upgrade the pipeline system to a capacity of 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) for the cost of $364.4 million. This capacity assumes the use of both the TOTCO and COTCO pipelines, the report also presents several lower capacities, and lower cost options. The upgrades will take at least 42 months to install and commission. The pipeline upgrade has numerous important strategic benefits that can help enhance the Chad-Cameroon pipeline¿s reputation as a more stable, and reliable oil producer in the world market. In total, the Project would consist of approximately 664 miles of new, 36-inch diameter pipeline within the Chad and Cameroon. The proposed Project would have an initial capacity to deliver up to 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) of Dobäs oil field from the proposed Komé crossing to existing oil terminals in Dompla and Belabo. Existing binding commitments for the Project amount to 250,000 bpd of crude oil and as demand for Chad-Cameroon pipeline oil increases, the pipeline would increase its load, up to its initial capacity of 500,000 bpd. The Project could ultimately transport up to 700,000 bpd of crude oil through the proposed pipeline upgrade by adding additional pumping capacity if warranted by future market demand. The Project requires 18 new pump stations, 36 intermediate mainline valves (MLVs) of which 24 are check valves located downstream of major river crossings, approximately 50 permanent access roads and approximately 30 temporary access roads, one tank farm and two crude oil delivery sites.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 36 pp. Englisch.

These East African countries possess a very high degree of biodiversity of ecosystems, plants and wildlife, sustaining critically the livelihoods and wellbeing of millions of people. At the same time, Tanzania and Madagascar have one of the lowest human development indices in the world emphasizing the value of biodiversity to these countries and explaining the current rate of overexploitation and other human activities in relation to biodiversity. In the post-industrial period and currently, the biodiversity loss is accelerating globally. Tanzania and Madagascar possess a very high degree of biodiversity of ecosystems, plants and wildlife sustaining critically the livelihoods and well-being of millions of people. Both countries face extinction of endemic, and other species, degradation of habitats as a result of mainly the poverty, climate change, invasive species, agricultural expansion and lack of effective natural resources management and conservation education of population. In the framework of Convention on Biological Diversity, these East African countries have set goals and targets to tackle the imminent and long-term threats to biodiversity. However, alarming trends continue and threaten the ecosystems and vulnerable species of the countries with extinction such as deforestation and species extinction among others. More investment needs to be spent on existing research and effective management practices if the loss of biodiversity is to be reversed. 36 pp. Englisch.
