Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Fachbuch aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Soziale Arbeit / Sozialarbeit, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Krankheit, Pflege, Alterssicherung, Arbeitslosigkeit und Berufsunfähigkeit sind wiederkehrende und auch aktuelle Themen, die in einer jeden Gesellschaft auftreten; besonders in Leistungsgesellschaften. Die zentrale Fragstellung hierbei ist meist, wie diese Gegebenheiten erreicht bzw. bekämpft werden können und was für die wirtschaftliche und soziale Sicherung der Menschen getan werden kann. Jedes Land auf dieser Welt hat hierzu eine eigene Antwort und ein eigenes System; oder auch nicht.Das Sozialversicherungssystem der Bundesrepublik Deutschland mit seinen fünf Sozialversicherungen ist mit Blick auf die anderen Länder dieser Welt einzigartig und in keinem Land so vorzufinden, wie hier. Es geht in seinem Bestehen bis ins 19. Jahrhundert zurück. Im Wandel der Zeit wurde es wieder und wieder an den jeweiligen Bedarf der Zeit angepasst und ist aus heutiger Sicht aus unserem gesellschaftlichen System nicht mehr wegzudenken. Unterm Strich funktioniert es nach einem solidarischen Gedanken. Der Bürger gibt von seinem monatlichen Verdienst einen Teil an den Staat ab, der diesen Beitrag wiederum, je nach Bedarf, umverteilt. Diese Abgabe wird als Sozialversicherungsbeitrag bezeichnet und ist beispielsweise bei Arbeitnehmern auf der monatlichen Lohnabrechnung zu finden.Vor allem für junge Menschen, die sich in einer Berufsausbildung oder im Berufseinstieg befinden, aber auch für solche die sich aus reinem Interesse mit diesem fünfsäuligen Konstrukt beschäftigen möchten, stellt die Komplexität und oft seitenlange Erklärung des Sozialversicherungssystems eine mühselige Herausforderung und zugleich langweilige Angelegenheit dar; verständlicherweise aus Sicht des Autors. Mit Verweis auf das Vorwort sollen also folgende Fragestellungen bearbeitet werden: Was steckt hinter dem deutschen Sozial-versicherungssystem und wie hat es sich entwickelt Welche Bereiche werden von den fünf Sozialversicherungen abgedeckt und was sind die jeweiligen Leistungen für Versicherte Wie beeinflussen sie unser tägliches gesellschaftliches Leben und welchen Herausforderungen stehen sie in der heutigen Zeit und zukünftig gegenüber Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, sich mit den genannten Fragen zu beschäftigen und sie kurz, knapp sowie leicht verständlich zu beantworten.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Facharbeit (Schule) aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - Deutschland - Nationalsozialismus, II. Weltkrieg, Note: 1,25, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Nationalsozialismus war ein prägender Teil der deutschen Geschichte. Würde so etwas wie der Nationalsozialismus heute wieder geschehen, was würden wir tun Warum gab es jedoch zur NS-Zeit nur so Wenige, die sich wehrten Auf diese Frage wird in der Hausarbeit näher eingegangen. Zur Untersuchung der Leitfrage beschäftigt man sich zunächst damit, was überhaupt als Widerstand gegen den NS gewertet wird. Es werden verschiedene Widerstandslager vorgestellt, um zu sehen, was für Arten von Widerstand tatsächlich umgesetzt wurden. Im Zusammenhang damit wird näher auf die Widerstandsgruppe um Sophie und Hans Scholl, auf die Swing-Jugend und auf Miep Gies eingegangen. Zusätzlich ist auf die damalige Situation hinzuweisen - speziell was die Umstände betrifft, die den Widerstand gegen das NS-Regime verhinderten, und drohende Strafen für Leute, die Wiederstand leisteten, aber auch Vorteile, die die NS-Zeit mit sich brachte.Als Übergang zur Leitfrage, wird sich im Anschluss damit beschäftigt, wie wir heute reagieren würden, wenn so etwas wie der NS wieder passieren würde, da dies zur Nachvollziehbarkeit der Situation der Menschen, die im NS gelebt haben, bedeutend ist. Dazu wird kurz das Buch 'Die Welle' von Morton Rhue thematisiert.…

Neuware - Essay aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover (Institut für Soziologie), Veranstaltung: Analyse von Gegenwartsgesellschaften, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Wissenssoziologie beschreibt allgemein den Entstehungsprozess einer Institution durch das Handeln von Individuen. Als Prämisse der Theorie gilt, dass menschliches Tun mit dem Gesetz der Gewohnheit verbunden ist. Der erste Schritt ist die Habitualisierung, bei der bestimmte Handlungen von einem Individuum routiniert ausgeführt werden, um Kraft einzusparen. Individuen nutzen dabei den allgemeinen Wissensvorrat, der aus vorhergegangenen Erfahrungen entstanden ist, um eine Handlungsoption zu wählen.In diesem Prüfungsessay wird zuerst die neue Wissenssoziologie nach Peter L. Berger und Thomas Luckmann genauer erläutert, und im Anschluss diese auf den Gegenstandsteil der Entstehung der Universität als Institutionsform angewendet. Die zentrale Frage des Essays lautet: 'Wie stellt sich die neue Wissenssoziologie nach Peter L. Berger und Thomas Luckmann anhand der Entstehung der Universität als Institutionsform dar '.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Einsendeaufgabe aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich BWL - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, SRH Fernhochschule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird zunächst der Begriff der 'Dienstleistungsqualität' definiert. Darauffolgend werden das S-O-R-Modell und ein Rollenkonzept als Designgrundlage dür Dienstleistungen dargestellt.Eine gute Dienstleistungsqualität hat einen positiven Einfluss auf zentrale Größen des Unternehmenserfolgs, wie den ROI oder die Umsatzrentabilität. Eine hohe Dienstleistungsqualität führt dazu, dass die Nachfrage steigt, dass höhere Preise gerechtfertigt, sowie durchgesetzt werden können und dass die Qualitätskosten, wie Fluktuations- und Fehlerkosten, minimiert werden.Im Gegensatz zu dem behavioristischen Ansatz, hat der neobehavioristische Ansatz, der S-O-R Ansatz, die Scheu vor der Black Box aufgegeben. Hier wird zugestanden, dass die Reaktionen auf gleiche Stimuli nicht immer gleich sind und es werden Aussagen über nicht beobachtbare Vorgänge im Inneren des 'Organismus' getroffen.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Einsendeaufgabe aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Sport - Sportökonomie, Sportmanagement, Note: 3,0, Deutsche Hochschule für Prävention und Gesundheitsmanagement GmbH, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit entwirft ein Marketing-Konzept für ein vereinseigenes Fitnessstudio. Da das Trainieren innerhalb des Sportvereins nicht ausreicht, um optimale Leistung zu erbringen, beziehungsweise weil vielen Vereinen die finanziellen Mittel fehlen, um ihre Mitglieder weiter zu fördern, stellt das vorgestellte Konzept eine Verbesserung der genannten Umstände dar. Es beginnt mit einer Marktanalyse. Darauf baut anschließend die Marketingplanung auf.Das vereinseigene Fitnessstudio ist hauptsächlich für Mitglieder des Sportvereines eröffnet worden. Da der Sportverein auch eine eigene Jugendabteilung besitzt, sind auch Jugendliche im Studio vertreten. Des Weiteren sollen auch Männer und Frauen trainieren in der Altersspanne von 16 bis 50 Jahren. Die Mitglieder sollen ihren Körper stärken, um in ihrer spezifischen Sportart bessere Erfolge zu erzielen. Es kann sowohl für Wettkampfathleten sein, die aktiv im Sportverein sind als auch für Sportler, die nur Freizeitsport im Sportverein treiben. Trainer und Betreuer des Sportvereins sollen selbstverständlich auch im Fitnessstudio trainieren, um fit zu bleiben.Da der Sportverein viele spezifische Sportarten anbietet, ist eine Vielfalt an Trainingsmethoden erforderlich, um Erfolge zu erzielen. Das Studio bietet spezifisches Training an, was genau auf die Athleten angepasst ist beziehungsweise. Auf ihre Sportart abgestimmt ist. So können beispielsweise Sportler, die im Sportverein Fußball spielen, ihre Ausdauer durch die Verwendung von Cardio-Geräten trainieren. Es dürfen auch Personen aus anderen Sportvereinen oder jene, die nicht in einem Verein sind, im Fitnessstudio trainieren.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Siegen, language: English, abstract: What does it do to an original work, when it is constantly reread, revised, discussed, analysed and transitioned These are the questions this paper is trying to find answers to.To answer this question, the author will start by exploring the relation between original and adaptation, where she will give an overview of the various ways of adapting techniques and show which role fan fiction plays in this. This will lead to an abstract on fan cultures, what they are and how they come into being. This first part will be concluded by a theoretical approach on how original works are in a constant change. The second part of this paper will study these concepts in the works of Jane Austen.Starting with a look at the reception of Austen's novels, she will go on with an overview of why and how her work was adapted, followed by a chapter on the fan culture which focuses exclusively on her and her work. This part will then be concluded by tracing the elements of fan culture in the series Lost in Austen, to see how the changing process applies here and is furthermore shown on several levels.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - Monetary theory and policy, grade: 9/10, International School of Management, Campus Munich, course: Financial Geography, language: English, abstract: This work is about bitcoin and illegal trading as well as fluctuations and the causal effect of it. The recent emergence of new technologies in the financial sector and virtual communities lead to new types of transactions and started questioning the relevance of financial centers around the world. The main reason for the emergence of virtual currencies (cryptocurrencies) is not necessary incapability or shortcomings of traditional currencies, but rather the development of the internet and its networks. Unfortunately, cryptocurrencies raise more controversies on questions such as legal framework, financial risks or effect on the economy - this is a challenge for the financial sector and the existence of financial centers.In the beginning, it is necessary to define Virtual Currencies. This type of currency can be defined as International Monetary Fund (IMF) in a research 'Monetary and Capital Markets, Legal, and Strategy and Policy Review Departments' describes digital representations of value, issued by private developers and denominated in their own unit of account. This definition clarifies the usage of virtual currencies as it has the functionality to be transacted electronically, stored, accessed if two parties of a transaction confirm an exchange.Virtual currencies emerged because of the creation of a blockchain or so-called distributed ledger system. This system is exceptional because of decentralization principles. The most important detail in a system is the unique ledger of transactions. Bitcoin technology allows to have a consensus between members of a network and decentralize transactions within a network.…

Summing up, this paper recommends to critically examine societal aging factors in order to determine political, investment, and property developing strategies.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Pedagogy - Theory of Science, Anthropology, grade: 6, University of Bern (Institut für Sozialanthropologie), language: English, abstract: The present essay explores the question of how philosophical phenomenology can be integrated into anthropology and especially into existential anthropology. Phenomenology will be analyzed in terms of its methods and demands in order to apply them to the field of Existential Anthropology. In doing so, some points have to be changed, which are necessary for the philosophical as well as for the anthropological perspective.Philosophical phenomenology is a discipline which can be examined in terms of its tradition, its method, and its demands. There is little point in dealing with the tradition here. This is due to two reasons: First, some positions of the phenomenological thinkers will be introduced in the following chapters anyway. An overview of the entire tradition, however, would lead too far away from the topic. Secondly, philosophical phenomenology must be distinguished from existentialism. Not all phenomenologists, such as Scheler or Merleau-Ponty, for example, have dealt with existentialism. And not all existentialists, such as De Beauvoir or Camus, have dealt with phenomenology.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, Fresenius University of Applied Sciences Hamburg, language: English, abstract: It is Easter Sunday 2018 and there are 125,000 visitors in Venice, a number that the country of Bangladesh welcomes annually.The increasing in cheap airfare has triggered a boom in the tourism industry. 2017 saw 1,3 billion international travelers, a growth of 7% over 2016. There are more people travelling around the world than ever before. Moreover, the way of traveling has changed from a few-day trips, including overnight stays in hotels and exploring the city and getting to know the locals, to day- or hour-long trips.In the 17th century a trip to Venice was affordable by only the upper class of northern Euro-peans, who visited the city as a part of their Italian tour. Writers and artists were inspired by the magic of the lagoon city. The most romantic of cities, that is what visitors considered Venice and it has that reputation still to this day. Tourism is the main economy of Venice and it offers a lot of job opportunities. But on the other hand, it is one of the most touristic cities in the world with 30 million visitors annually, and that for a city with a population of 55,000. Tourists overflow the city, they are not concerned in supporting sustainability of the city and not conscious about the negative impact they leave behind. One could argue that tourism has become an issue rather than a resource for Venice. The natural environment of Venice and its residents are suffering from their popularity and the effects of overtourism. I would argue that all stakeholders in the tourism sector in Venice need to urgently act and start building a sustain-able future for the city. To withstand overtourism and to save the city and its inhabitants from extinction.This essay outlines positive and negative impact of overtourism in Venice concerning the economy, the social sector and its natural environment. Additionally, it will provide a short illustration of Venice's history and the meaning of overtourism as well as solutions that Venice could implement and new suggestions to save Venice from overtourism.…

Neuware - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Urban and Regional Planning, grade: 75.00, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses how informal economic actors utilize the various categories of open spaces in the Kumasi Metropolis. Furthermore, the effects of informal economic activities on formal spaces in the Kumasi Metropolis will also be examined. High rate of urbanization and fast growing economies have impacted on land use patterns. This paper examine how various informal economic actors are using the various categories of open spaces in the Kumasi Metropolis and how city authorities respond to their activities in these public spaces.The recent trend towards increasing informal economic activity in African cities and towns, coupled with the contribution of informal activity to urban and urban development efforts, leaves much to be desired. The research was specifically directed at assessing the effects of informal activities with a great deal of emphasis on the use and management of formal spaces in the metropolis of Kumasi and how to integrate it with activity in the management and development of urban areas. In order to maximize the capacity of the informal sector and its effects on formal spaces, there needs to be efficient integration of the business enterprises of the sector and the use of public spaces by stakeholders in urban management and development policies, as well as the effects of social inclusion on the use of public spaces.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Social System and Social Structure, grade: 1.3, Bielefeld University, language: English, abstract: This paper wants to contribute by taking a closer look at the inter-linkages of different forms of inequality and how they influenced and caused each other in different stages of the disaster. Therefore, the time before the hurricane, the time-span of re-migration, and New Orleans' long-term development will be analyzed with regard to their specific importance for the exacerbation of inequalities.Some scholars argue that '[c]limate change has become part of high politics'. The scientific community agrees that climate change is partly responsible for the increase of extreme weather phenomena even though climate change's impact factor cannot be exactly determined. People all around the world are exposed to extreme weather conditions and it can generally be assumed that '[t]here will always be crisis, catastrophes and uncertainty'. People try to lessen the impact of natural hazards and while almost all communities and countries are statistically affected by those hazards, their responses differ massively. One strategy to lessen the impact of those '[r]are, if not unique, and as striking rarely and without warning' phenomena is migration. 'Environmental migration is not a new phenomenom. [.] However, global climate change threatens to significantly increase human movement, both within states and across international borders'. A lot of research has been dedicated to identifying and differentiating between mitigation and adaption strategies, however, less attention has been invested into the resettlement of and in urban areas. Further, it should be noticed that due to the on-going trend of urbanization, the city as a matter of analysis of climate-induced migration will steadily gain importance and due to rising sea levels, coastal cities are more affected by climate change and thereby by climate-induced migration than the inland. Even though numbers vary massively depending on the employed definitions concerning climate-induced migration, it can nonetheless be stated that 'the populations of coastal megacities have skyrocketed' in the last couple decades and, on the basis of those tendencies, it can be concluded that more people will consequently be affected by climate-related phenomena in the future.…

Neuware - Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 3.0, Ghana Telecom University College, course: Msc Supply chain management, language: English, abstract: The findings of this research are expected to answer the following research questions: To what extent do key stakeholders of the procurement process understand the requirements of the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (ACT 663) of Ghana What factors delay procurement activities in the public sector To what extent has the implementation of the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (ACT 663) ensured transparency and accountability in the utilization of public funds Has the implementation of Public Procurement Act, 2003 (ACT 663) influenced government spending What are the main challenges encountered in implementing the provisions of the Public Procurement Act, ACT 663 Procurement is seen as a strategic fiscal policy or programme used to observe effectiveness and efficiency in the public financial management system of Ghana. As an economic tool for accomplishing national objectives, procurement activities should be adequately planned and executed to realize the following: rapid improvement in resource mobilization, improvement in managing and maintaining debt sustainability effectively, enhancing the public expenditure framework of the country, improvement in revenue generation and a reduction in economic and financial slavery. Key objects of the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (ACT 663) includes the following: harmonization of all public procurement processes within the public sector, ensuring public funds are utilized judiciously, economically and efficiently to achieve value-for-money, promoting fairness and competition in public procurement, and maintaining and improving high standards of transparency and accountability to eliminate fraudulent practices in public procurement. Unfortunately, little efforts have been made to evaluate the impact of the causes of delay in the implementation of the Procurement Act, the impact of the Act on government expenditure, savings and debt management, as well as transparency in the utilization of public funds. This research is therefore aimed at obtaining requisite data to evaluate the causes of the delay, impact of the Procurement Act on public financial management as well as the impact of the Act in ensuring high level of transparency in the spending of public funds.…

It was so much designed to assist the student to acquire the missed sessions through independent but lecturer guided autonomous research work with a project write-up.An ISP was supposed to buttress and strengthen the student intellectual background and autonomy in independent learning capabilities coupled with capacity building in making constructive and scientific presentations, data and diagrammatic analysis, and project write-up style inculcation. It strengthened the student research background using knowledge platforms to put knowledge together, to solve problems, establish a structure of a system or an organization, and to set up dynamic systems that function towards a business goal, or a scientific and technological goal-implementation.It empowered the student to write scientific research papers and finally built the student towards thesis or dissertation writing when the student was conversant with the decision making and analysis tools in all fields, w.r.t. statistics, quantitative studies in business decision making, management science capabilities, scientific data collection and analysis prowess, and model building.…

Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,7, The FOM University of Applied Sciences, Hamburg, language: English, abstract: External growth in forms of Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) is massively driving the growth of many companies. In 2015, the total amount of 3.8 to 5 trillion to US-Dollars (USD) was spent on M&A, marking it as the year of the highest spending ever. Vivid sectors are healthcare and technology: in 2015, both accounted for over 700 billion USD each. Latest news reports a joint venture between Siemens and Gamesa merging their wind business and creating a new leading market player. If everything proceeds as planned, this will be the next big portfolio change after 2015's acquisition of Dresser-Rand for approximately 7.8 billion USD. These latest developments in general and in particular within the Siemens AG are investigated in this paper with the objective of answering the question: What is the strategy behind M&A and how to evaluate the price of an acquisition Thereby the case of the acquisition of Dresser-Rand Group Inc. by Siemens AG is covered.Handling this topic the first step is defining the strategies to grow a company either with organically or inorganically growth. Subsequently, a closer look is taken at external growth in forms of M&A. The common forms of inorganic growth are introduced and the connected strategy is examined and evaluated. In addition, Siemens' key acquisitions are considered to derive the underlying strategy.The second part highlights how a possible acquisition can be evaluated. Therefore, different approaches are explained and used to value the acquisition of Dresser-Rand by Siemens AG. The different approaches are compared to the original price and each other concluding in a comparison and evaluation of the various methods.…

Als Gegenleistung zahlt der Versicherungsnehmer eine Prämie. Anhand von verschiedenen Prinzipien zur Prämienkalkulation lässt sich die Prämie berechnen. Ziel ist es ein Überblick über die Prinzipien zu vermitteln und die Eignung der einzelnen Prinzipien zur Prämienberechnung mittels ihrer Eigenschaften festzustellen. Abschnitt 2 führt zunächst Grundbegriffe der Risikotheorie ein. Darauf folgend beschäftigt sich die Arbeit mit der Frage, bei welcher Prämienhöhe der Ruin eines Versicherungsunternehmens eintritt und aus welchen Bestandteilen sich eine Prämie zusammensetzt. Zuletzt werden einige Prinzipien zur Prämienkalkulation vorgestellt und überprüft welche Eigenschaften sie erfüllen.Das Versicherungsunternehmen begleicht durch die Prämie die Kosten, die bei einem Schadenfall auftreten. Die Versicherungsprämie ist der Preis eines Versicherungsproduktes und richtet sich nach der Höhe des versicherten Risikos beziehungsweise nach dem Gegenstand der Versicherung. Für eine genauere Beschreibung der Versicherungsprämie werden zunächst einige Grundlagen eingeführt.Der auftretende Schadenverlauf wird in Anzahl und Höhe der Schäden an Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungen angepasst. Die im Allgemeinen kontinuierliche Schadenhöhenverteilung kann durch absolut stetige Verteilungen und die Schadenanzahlverteilung durch diskrete Verteilungen beschrieben werden.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, , language: English, abstract: This essay is - strictly speaking - a product of the Corona virus which so dramatically changed the world and which also showed us how vulnerable and fragile human life is, something which both novels discussed here also want to portray. To keep the students of my Grundkurs working my aim was to connect both novels which we dealt with in class. In Ql the topic of our course had the title Ideals and Realities (America) and in Q2 it was The Encounter of Cultures (South Africa). Here both novels, The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Mother to Mother made a perfect match since they are not only linked by the topic of the American Dream but also as far as structure and elements of style are concerned. The aims of intercultural learning which were important for this project dispose of a high number of elements important for a functioning communication. Reading and writing turned out to be central and could be spotted in the following worksteps. My students first had to work with different types of texts to get background information on the subject. One central element consisted in reading these various texts. Some of them had different backgrounds such as a historical or religious one. Writing became another important issue since the texts handed in disposed of formal and non-formal characteristics whose different forms had to be considered. Text production as such had to be changed according to literary or non-literary sources. Working with several media and types of texts was necessary for summing up complex fictional and non-fictional texts in order to understand and structure them. To analyse, interpret and work with this material according to the tasks given to the students was a logical result from this. In connection to the above mentioned courses dealt with in class (Ideals and Realities and The Encounter of Cultures) the aspect of the American Dream was focused upon catchphrases such as 'Manifestation of Individualism' and 'The American Dream as a Manifestation of Individualism' as well as the notion of the American way of life which both novels reflect as well. I say 'Thank you' to the headmistress of our school, Frau Oberstudiendirektorin Ruf, who supported our project from the beginning knowing about the importance of narrowing the gap between school and university with projects like these.…

There are several other surfactants available but this is commonly found in most of the floor cleaners. BKC, a cationic surfactant, has had several uses since it was introduced. Developed by a group of German scientists in the 1910s as a germicide, it was first used medicinally as a preservative for hard contact lens solutions and skin disinfectant. Today, there are thousands of different products that contain this chemical.There are various methods like capillary rise, drop and analysis to find the surface tension of a liquid. However, all the methods require machines and apparatus that are not easily available and are also expensive. Therefore, the stalagmometric method was the only feasible method that also gave reliable results. In order to find the floor cleaners that were common a survey was conducted in the local residential area.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Communications - Media and Politics, Politic Communications, grade: 1,0, University of Education, language: English, abstract: Democracy s core value simultaneously challenges it.Including the pluralist views and opinions of democracy s diverse citizenry in political decisions is as much of a challenge as it is to consider even the views that oppose democracy. Modern democracies face this challenge more than ever as autocratic politicians all over the world gain power. With the upcoming US election, the implementation of the last still echoes. Donald Trump had gained the highest office in the country through manipulation. The manipulation continues as the President of the United States still publishes false claims unrestrictedly on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.While specifically producing Fake News to threaten liberal democracy is a danger itself, this thesis focuses on the development that enables it. The development is the democratization of the fourth estate, which describes the rise of social media platforms. As they have turned out to be preeminent news providers to their users, due to their structural properties, they impose threats to liberal democracies. While it seems paradoxical that a process of democratization threatens liberal democracy, the danger is rooted in the fundamental paradox within itself.In order to break down the complexity of this topic, the thesis is structured into three main chapters. The first chapter offers an overview of liberalism and democracy, both of which constitute the modern concept of liberal democracy. It also highlights the paradox within liberal democracy as it presents the root of the dangers. The second chapter thematizes the fourth estate and the modern development it underwent. Furthermore, it exemplifies the problem of this process based on the paradox of liberal democracy. The last chapter specifically analyzes the danger enabled through social media platforms by categorizing them into internal and external threats.This thesis provides examples for the execution of specific laws, rights, and events in various countries and is not limited to a particular region in order to elaborate on the democratization of the fourth estate in a broader context.…

The aim of the study is to assess the potential heat storage efficiency of salt hydrates, based on sufficient hydration/dehydration performance, water sorption and cyclicability. MgSO4-7H2O, ZnSO4-7H2O and FeSO4-7H2O were evaluate based on preselected criteria. The main highlights of the dehydration result show that higher enthalpy was obtained for MgSO4 and ZnSO4, shows 2256 J g-1 and 1731 J g-1 enthalpy, respectively. During hydration process, six water molecules were absorbing by MgSO4 and ZnSO4 after pre-dehydrated temperature 150 °C and 120 °C, respectively. The cycle stability of MgSO4 and ZnSO4 showed better performance which give rise 1210 g-1 and 1155 J g-1 enthalpy, respectively. It was expected that FeSO4 would show higher cyclicability due to their higher enthalpy (1400 J g-1) in the first round; however, overhydration does not permit it to released larger energy. The impact of relative humidity on water sorption performance and rate of hydration were reported which showed that MgSO4 and ZnSO4 can uptake maximum water under 85 and 75 % relative humidity. Ongoing studies and the booming progress of ZnSO4-7H2O illustrate that likewise MgSO4-7H2O, it is also the potential candidate and can be use in thermochemical heat storage devices. To bring zinc sulfate heptahydrate into market, more detail studies in fields of evaluation of advanced materials and development of efficient and compact prototypes are still required. ZnSO4 7H2O is modified by impregnation method with zeolite matrices (13X-zeolite and LTA-zeolite) to improve its hydration performance. Water sorption ability of composites was carried out in a constant temperature & humidity environment. Composite of ZnSO4/13X-zeolite showed highest water sorption (0.26 g/g) at 75% relative humidity under 45 °C air temperature, which is double than pure ZnSO4 7H2O. This is due to larger surface area (491 m2 g-1) and pore volume (0.31 cm3). Based on the results, the hydration behavior of MZ9 reveals an ideal thermochemical heat storage candidate for thermal storage devices.…

Neuware - Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,7, University of Wuppertal, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to show the effect of frequent positive emotions on the formation of brand attachment. Therefore, this paper will start by looking at several current research findings to determine definitions for divisive terms and to build up a conceptual framework which supports the constructed hypotheses on the formation of brand attachment.More endorsement is given by a realized quantitative study which researches positive emotions and constituents of dependent variables like brand attachment. Even though variances are inevitable, a study on the topic ought not to be rendered to be redundant, since the topic lacks scientific studies, in comparison to other economic fields, due to novelty. By juxtaposing the framework and study in opposition to the hypotheses, one will see to which extent frequent positive emotions lead to positive outcomes which results then find their way into marketing departments and provide action alternatives.Current researches have discovered that there is a connection between feeling good and attaching oneself to an entity. This entity referred in the past exclusively to human entities, however, economists are emphasizing the equality between human beings and inhuman entities, like brands. Happiness, as already mentioned, is a value which is hard to capture, because of the lack of a universal definition and also because feelings are difficult to inquire into due to the fact that present circumstances always have their effects on the current state of an individual. This makes variances in the measurement of happiness inevitable.…

Neuware - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Archäologie, Note: 1,0, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn (Institut für Kunstgeschichte und Archäologie: Abteilung Archäologie), Veranstaltung: Römische Architektur und Architekturtheorie: Stadtrömische Fora, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Aufgrund eines aufgefundenen Bucchero-Gefäßes mit der Inschrift Rex, weiterer archäologischer Funde und antiker Schriftquellen ist es fraglich, ob die Regia ein Sakralbau, oder ein Wohnbau, vielleicht sogar der Könige, war. In dieser Frage teilen sich die Meinungen der Forscher in zwei Lager. Die einen sehen in der Regia einen konstanten Sakralbau, während andere ihr auch die Funktion eines 'Königspalastes' oder eines Wohnsitzes zuschreiben. In dieser Arbeit werde ich diverse Publikationen über die Regia im Bezug auf diese Fragestellung analysieren und auswerten um zu einer sichern Aussage über ihre Funktion/en zu kommen.Die Regia befindet sich am Ostende des Forum Romanum und liegt zwischen dem Tempel des Divus Julius im Westen, dem Vesta-Tempel und dem Vestalinnen-Haus im Süden und dem Tempel des Antoninus und der Faustina im Norden. Sie wurde angeblich von dem legendären zweiten König Roms, Numa Pompilius (750 v. Chr.; 672 v. Chr.), errichtet. …

Neuware - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Health - Stress management, , course: Research Paper, language: English, abstract: The desideratum of the discourse is aimed to determine stress management and emotional intelligence at the workplace, especially with a global pandemic at hand.The global pandemic Coronavirus has arguably ushered in stress and global crisis in the economy and health sector. The crisis results from the collision of vulnerabilities and specific trigger events. The crisis triggers are unpredictable and predicting the timing of a crisis is a fool 's errand. Anyone can become splenetic that is easy. However, to be ferocious with the right staff, to the right extent, at the correct time, for the correct purpose, and correctly, this is not burdensome. Emotional intelligence has been demonstrated to be one of the essential determinants for effective leadership. First-line supervisors who appreciate and employ their emotional intelligence in the workplace are more procumbent, and recumbent to retain their staff, enjoy greater collaboration, commitment, and to experience increases in co-worker performance. Academic intelligence has infinitesimal to do with emotional life. The sagacity among us can founder on the shallow of unbridled passions and boisterous impulses; people with high IQ can be remarkedly poor pilots of their private lives. To know that employees are valedictorian is to know they are vastly good at achievement as evaluated by grades. It does not unravel about how they boomerang to the vicissitudes of life. Emotionally intelligent women employee, by juxtaposition, be inclined to be assertive and express their sentiments directly, and to feel unequivocal about themselves; life holds nuts and bolts for them. Like the men, they are cordial, gregarious, and express their ethos appropriately; they roll with punches well to stress.We discovered that 68% are extremely and highly worried of the devastating effects of the pandemic of mass destruction. A stress prevention strategy coupled with coping strategies such as the employment of Wellness programs, breathing, peer support, counselling, religion, exercising, encouraging holiday to the beach and meditation to be employed by Secretaries. Cognitive coping and active coping strategies can be encouraged to Secretaries.…
