Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1.0, Zeppelin University Friedrichshafen, course: Advanced Financing, language: English, abstract: This paper is concerned with analyzing the basic determinants of option prices. These are the information derived from the underlying stock, namely the mean and the volatility of its returns. Therefore, this paper aims at answering the question, what influence stock return mean and volatility have on the respective option prices. This can be important to option traders trying to identify the stocks for which to trade options, by providing an understanding for the foundations of the option pricing and the information those prices provide.To isolate these basic determinants from the other influences, described above as structural and institutional factors, a simulation study is conducted. Section 2 will provide the theoretical framework and simulation methodology for the study. Section 3 describes the used dataset and section 4 presents and discusses the results of the simulation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 28 pp. Englisch.

Videospiele unterlagen im Laufe der letzten 50 Jahre einem stetigen Wandel. Während in den frühen 1970er und 1980er Jahren Videospiele reine Einzelspieler-Produkte waren, entwickelten sich Mitte der 1990er Jahre erste Client-basierte Onlinespiele, die es erstmals möglich machten, dass Millionen von Spieler simultan in einer virtuellen Spielwelt miteinander und gegeneinander spielen konnten.Aktuell ist zu beobachten, dass das Spielen von Videospielen immer stärker auch professionell, und von einigen Spielern sogar hauptberuflich, betrieben wird. Diese neue Art des kompetitiven, leistungsorientierten und professionellen Spielens von Videospielen wird eSport (elektronischer Sport) genannt. Der professionelle eSport hat in den letzten Jahren immer mehr an Bedeutung gewonnen.Während 2013 nach Schätzungen etwa 70 Millionen Menschen eSport rezipierten, waren es laut einem globalen Marktreport 2017 schon 335 Millionen Zuschauer. Die World Championship Finals des Spiels 'League of Legends' hatten 2016 mehr Zuschauer als eines der Finalspiele der amerikanischen National Basketball Association. Auch die Wirtschaftsleistung des eSport-Sektors wächst, ähnlich wie seine Zuschauerzahlen, exponentiell an.Erlöse von Übertragungsrechten, Werbeeinnahmen, Ticketverkäufen, Merchandising und lukrativen Sponsorenverträgen sorgten 2017 für einen Umsatz von 696 Millionen US-Dollar. Bis zum Jahr 2020 soll das Umsatzvolumen der eSport-Industrie nach Schätzungen der Marktforscher auf bis zu 1,4 Milliarden US-Dollar steigen. Sowohl wirtschaftlich als auch gemessen an den Zuschauerzahlen kann sich eSport durchaus mit 'klassischen' analogen Sportarten messen.Auch der Einstieg von Vereinen wie Schalke 04 und Paris Saint-Germain sowie die Tatsache, dass diese Fußballclubs keineswegs ausschließlich eSport-Mannschaften in Fußballsimulationen unter Vertrag haben (Schalke 04 unterhält Teams für League of Legends, FIFA und Pro Evolution Soccer; Paris Saint-Germain unterhält Teams für Rocket League, FIFA und Defense of the Ancients) zeigt, dass eSport längst kein Nischenprodukt mehr ist. 28 pp. Deutsch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject African Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 5.0, , language: English, abstract: This text discusses the merits and demerits of indigenous knowledge in the technological development of Nigeria. Indigenous knowledge is an important natural resource that can facilitate the development process of any nation in cost-effective, participatory and sustainable ways. Indigenous knowledge according to Warren has value not only for the culture in which it evolves, but also for scientists and planners striving to improve conditions in different localities but in the rural and urban areas. On the other hand there are also demerits associated with indigenous knowledge as it relates to technological development that can be injurious to the society in which it evolves. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject African Studies - Linguistics, grade: 95, , language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the questions of language, intellectual and cultural decolonization in post colonial worlds. The concern with cultural decolonization hails from different academic spheres, and as well as different geographical settings that either experienced European colonialism like in Africa, Asia or, from geographies with masses who were subjected to a forceful removal and enslavement and subsequently ferried from their indigenous homelands to Europe or America. To decolonize culture in this context primarily means, to liberate language, identity, and the intellectual constellation of the colonized communities from the colonial experience that some/many believe to have suppressed and subjugated their cultural identities.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject African Studies - Literature, grade: 2.5, University of Lagos, language: English, abstract: The phenomenon of abandoned children and parent's irresponsibility is at the epicenter of Amma Darko's construction. As a corollary to this, critics have come to review the text from standpoints within the established phenomenal domain. Similarly, the motivation here holds sway within this parameter. However, the objective here is to examine the nature of culture towards children and its attendant role in defining into existence a class order - the adults versus the children. Such class identification signals a hint of marxist structure, a society in which a powerful group dominate and oppress the powerless marginal group. Unlike other previous critiquing that has investigated this phenomenon from a Marxist lens only and moral perspectives, the uniqueness of this study rests on the fact that it draws insight from both Marxism and Cultural Criticsm in the identification of the origin of such socio-phenomenal damage using Amma Darko's Faceless. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2021 in the subject Sociology - Law and Delinquency, grade: 1, National Islamic University, language: English, abstract: Adoption occurred primarily to preserve and transmit family lines or inheritance, to gain political power or to forge alliance between families. The issue highlighted in this paper is the protection of children from illegal adoption or adoptions that are done for an illegal purpose like human trafficking. Human trafficking is a major concern not only intra-country but also inter-country. The aim of this paper is to identify the problem and suggest ways to a better solution. The first topic is a brief history in which the genesis of adoption is explained, and it is discussed whether adoption is really for the welfare of the child. Furthermore, the relationship between inter-country adoption and India is explained. It is analysed, what laws provide such kind of adoptions, what is lacking in those laws, what their impact is and if the adoption is really happening in the country. Additionally, the international laws of adoption and whether they help in protecting the interest of the child are discussed. Then, the problem of child trafficking based on illegal adoption, how far the laws dealt with it, what has to be done and how to protect children from such abuses is explained. There must be a strong, stable and legitimate inter-country adoption infrastructure. Adoption can only maintain a principled and enforceable line against child selling and child trafficking when effective systems of enforceable regulation are in place that effectively prevent adoption systems from becoming markets for children. The refusal or failure of the domestic and inter-country adoption systems to put those needed regulations into place speaks volumes regarding the ethics of the domestic and inter-country adoption. Inter-country adoption is a conditional good; inter-country adoption as child trafficking is an evil. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject African Studies - Literature, grade: 2.5, University of Lagos, language: English, abstract: Cultural Criticism and Feminism are literary theories that have been employed in the critical analysis here in the generation of meaning in Mariama Bâ's So Long a Letter. In exploring this investigation, the argument here is hinged on the fact that to properly ascertain the depth of female subjugation in such a traditional society, a researcher must, as a necessity, employ also, the tropes of Cultural Criticism. The rationale behind this proves that through the lens of cultural criticism, the text can be better appreciated through the traditional theory of feminism. 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Pedagogy - Media Pedagogy, grade: 76, The Open University (School of Educational Technology), course: Technology-Enhanced Learning: Practices and Debates, language: English, abstract: This paper presents the critical reflection on technology-assisted learning. It is based on the choices practitioners make about how to apply technologies to their learners and the choices learners make about their own learning, in terms of what technologies they use, why and how. Based on three main learning activities: blog and blogging, Reading Price (2007) and, the learner experience; reflection uses concrete example to explain what allows the author to understand the choices, experiences and methods of practitioners and learners in the application of technologies to education. A brief takeaway from the discussions is that learners and practitioners have different choices in specialized technologies. Learner¿s experience is grounded on four major things: familiarity with technology, students¿ perceptions, Students expectations and efficacy and effectiveness ensures teachers realize their intentions of their course design, relative to the use of technology (approach). Based on these, recommendations were made on how courses and learning activities could be better developed. 20 pp. Englisch.

It begins with a critical review of McCarthy¿s ¿Learning in the Café: pilot testing the collaborative application for education in Facebook¿ and Thorpe¿s ¿Effective online interaction: mapping course design to bridge from research to practice¿. The fact that Facebook has different features that promote student interactions, it was no surprise that 92 % agreed that Café encourages their interaction with their peers. The importance of this interaction was confirmed by Thorpe (2008) who recommends a range of activities that promote both group and individual participation as well as compulsory student participation for effective interaction. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: This analysis will focus on how humans with extraordinary bodies were turned into freaks through processes that stem from a concept of normalcy. Firstly, the social construction of normalcy will be examined in combination with the societal expectation of bodies to be whole and how these expectations influenced the lives of people with unusual bodies. Moreover, the focus will be laid on the concept of Othering in order to further explain the formation of freak shows. In addition to that, Garland-Thomson¿s theory of Staring will be applied to the way that ordinary humans with extraordinary bodies were turned into freaks. The different theories are connected through the variable of normalcy. Normalcy influences the different ways that people were turned into freaks. The analysis is mainly based on the works of Rosemary Garland-Thomson, who wrote about extraordinary bodies and the theory of Staring, Robert Bogdan and Brigham A. Fordham, who closely studied freak shows, and Lennard J. Davis and his concept on normalcy. ¿Monstrosity¿, ¿Freak¿, ¿Cripple¿ were terms that used to describe humans whose bodies deviated from the norm. These people were solely reduced to the way their bodies looked and how they possibly malfunctioned. In nineteenth century America, people with unusual bodies were exhibited in so-called freak shows, in order to make profit for the owners and to amuse the audiences. The body forms the center of attention in freak shows and is deeply connected to and intertwined with the concept of normalcy that is common in society. Even though the term ¿freak¿ has a negative connotation nowadays and is not acceptable to use anymore, it used to be a set expression, which is the reason for using it in this analysis without quotation marks.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

As the management team has little experience in open education, a briefing documentation about open education was given for their consideration. Although this is not a fully costed business proposal, it makes recommendations for open pathways, suggests a strategy for OER production, suggests engagement with other initiatives, and proposes a cautious approach or any mixture deemed appropriate. The report provides an overview of the domain, listing referenced searches in the academic domain as well as current researches and developments in the domain. It presents various proposals on the production, use and publication of Open Educational Resources (OER) and provides guidelines for the practice of learning and teaching in order to improve the quality of the student experience, to improve the provision of learning opportunities for all and to improve pedagogical practices. It also recognizes that the use, creation and publication of OER should be consistent with the university's mission and overall goals. Finally, the report highlights the main benefits for the University of adopting an open education policy, suggests a strategy for the production of OER, engagement with other initiatives, propose a cautious approach or constitute a mixture deemed appropriate. It outlines the main associated risks, proposes strategies to overcome them, and exposes the required technologies, including new roles and responsibilities to apply this new policy in academic institutions. It just provides hands-on experience, guidance and recommendations for the university to consider while developing an open education policy strategy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - Region: Near East, Near Orient, grade: 1.3, University of Tubingen, language: English, abstract: When dealing with Saudi Arabiäs policies towards the Yemeni conflict, it is worthwhile taking the domestic level of analysis into consideration. Among the many domestic factors which might be relevant to this study, the author will focus on three dimensions: Saudi Arabiäs population, the economic dimension which also affects the Kingdom¿s foreign policy, and the regional environment in the Persian Gulf.In March 2015, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia embarked on a military intervention in neighboring Yemen. About half a year earlier, in September 2014, the Shi¿a Houthi rebels (self-declared Ansar Allah, Arabic for ¿Helpers of God¿) had seized control over Yemen¿s capital Sanäa and forced the incumbent Yemeni president Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi to flee, first to the Southern city of Aden, then in March 2015 to Saudi Arabia where he has stayed ever since (mostly). The primary goal of the Saudi-led military coalition (including the United Arab Emirates and several Yemeni militias) has been to expel the Houthi rebels from the capital Sanäa and to reinstall the internationally recognized government of Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi (without success until the time of writing).Which domestic and regional constellations can explain Saudi Arabiäs policies towards Yemen since the beginning of the war in March 2015 Instead of looking at these events from the Realist perspective (i.e. through the lens of the dominant Realism theory in International Relations), a Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA) approach shall be undertaken. While Realism as a school of thought is primarily concerned with (economic and military) power and security, and may thus have certain advantages in the study of authoritarian states in general, and of the Yemen war, the FPA approach offers valuable insights into the making of the Kingdom¿s policies towards Yemen. FPA, in contrast to the strict Realist focus on the state as a monolithic category, sheds light on differences within the state and other factors, be they economic or transnational. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3, University of Duisburg-Essen (Anglophone), language: English, abstract: It has not been a surprise that over the last years the novel of a boy with a scar and magic abilities has inspired children and adults. People cannot stop reading the story of a young boy who goes to a wizard school named Hogwarts. But have they thought why readers are attracted to this book series And how it has influenced them in different ways These are questions, this paper tries to answer. Furthermore, the main goal will be to answer the question in what way does symbolism appear into the novel What is the meaning of the symbols in this novel These questions will be answered by both: analysing the context in which they appear and their possible meaning in the novel.The answer would be simple: Due to many stylistic and rhetorical devices, J. K. Rowling enlightens the world of the and gives us the possibility to discover it. However, a big part of this input comes from symbolism she uses as an author to catch attention in a better way. An entire generation has been influenced of how the author J. K. Rowling turns the world of a book into a living one. Therefore, it is no surprise that this piece of fantasy literature has become an important object of various studies. The novel itself can be investigated in several ways. This means Harry Potter as a fantasy novel is a masterpiece of literary and stylistic devices. It can also be approached as a good example of how an author could with use of symbolism write a good novel.In this term paper, the author would therefore like to limit the field of study to the meaning of the symbols we can find in Harry Potter. Furthermore, there will be a short definition to give an overview about what are core aspects in Heroic fantasy This should help to get an impression of what is important in this genre and how it is presented. The term paper will be structured with a theoretical framework, the analysis and a conclusion to summarise all important results and with a look in the future concerning symbolism. There are a lot of traditional symbols with different origins and meanings. In this term paper the author is describing only the most common symbols like e.g. good versus evil, magic, names and spells and other important symbols which she considers as nameable. She will be working with the hypothesis that patterns can be found in the manner of symbolism in many various ways. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Didactics - English - History of Literature, Eras, grade: 2.5, University of Lagos, language: English, abstract: Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot occupies a reverend domain in literary history for reasons critics are quick to mention when the need arises. From its first premiere in 1953 to this current day, the text is still being highly reputed. The intention here is to attempt an investigation for such hallowed disposition in the oeuvre of literature through the application of New-Historicism and Reader-response criticsms. The research motivation stems from the interest in noting how Beckett is able to encode the prevailing manners of the Modernist literary era. Beyond this, the objective of generating subjective meaning through text-reader transaction adds to the sympathy of this study in that, it is the intention here to present the features that qualify the text as an Absurdist play. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Communications - Intercultural Communication, Al-Baath University, language: English, abstract: This research discusses the discrepancies between the Arab and the Western societies concerning their sensitivity to certain topics; among which religious, political and social topics are the most prominent. First, Arab and Western societies have different attitudes towards religion. Criticism of religion and highly-esteemed religious figures is a taboo in the Arab world. References that give offence to God, messengers, holy figures or religious beliefs are probably omitted or rendered with some kind of euphemism that takes into consideration the anticipated reaction of the Arab reader to such an offence. In addition to religious issues, sexual references are still a taboo in the Arab world. Concepts related to sexual intercourses, genitals, women's breasts and gay relationships are usually euphemized or deleted in English-Arabic translation. Similarly, the impact of swear words which imply sexual references varies among cultures. They are more a taboo in the Arab world than they are in the Western world. In this research, we shall see, through the many given examples, how the instances pertaining to all these cultural taboos¿religious and social¿are mostly either euphemized or emitted when rendered into Arabic. 24 pp. Englisch.
