Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,00, Charles University in Prague (Institute of Economic Studies), language: English, abstract: This paper analyses the process of knowledge-base adoption in the enterprise environment. Using data from two knowledge-management systems operated by the company, Semanta, s.r.o. we studied the day-to-day interactions of employees using the system and identified the important drivers of system adoption. We began by studying the effect of co-workers' collaborative activities on knowledge creation within the system. It was found that they had a positive and significant impact upon overall knowledge creation and thus on adoption. Secondly, we explored how the newly defined concept of gamification could help determine and encourage an increase in knowledge creation. The use of gamification tools, such as the 'Hall of Fame' page, turned out to have significant influence in the adoption process. Thirdly, we examined how users continually seek knowledge within the system and how asking for missing information and being supplied with answers has an impact on adoption rates. It was shown that the quicker the responses and the more experts dealing with requests the greater the impact on knowledge base adoption. Finally, we showed that the size and character of the company deploying the knowledge management system does not influence the adoption drivers. This paper represents an effort to fill the literature gap surrounding effective knowledge-base adoption in an intra-company environment. Moreover, as far as we know, it represents the first attempt to estimate the relationship between gamification concepts and knowledge-base adoption not only in the Czech Republic but also worldwide. 96 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Arbeit, Betrieb, Organisation und Wirtschaft, Note: 1.4, Europäische Fernhochschule Hamburg (Psychologie), Veranstaltung: Grundlagen der Psychologie, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In dieser Hausarbeit werden die Fehlurteile bei der Personalentscheidung, die durch Repräsentativitätsheuristik entstehen können, beleuchtet sowie Handlungsvorschläge erarbeitet, um diese zu minimieren.Im ersten Teil werden die Begriffe Heuristik und Repräsentativitätsheuristik definiert und erklärt. Danach erfolgen zentrale Erkenntnisse zur Repräsentativitätsheuristik anhand von Studien mit anschließendem Beispiel zum Thema Fehlurteile in der Eignungsdiagnostik. Schließlich werden Handlungsempfehlungen für die Praxis ausgesprochen. Zu guter Letzt erfolgen eine persönliche Stellungnahme und eine Einschätzung der Machbarkeit für die Praxis.'Irren ist menschlich - managen auch'. Für die menschliche Urteilsbildung scheint der Irrtum geradezu charakteristisch zu sein. Was kann eine Fehleinschätzung in der Personalauswahl bewirken Laut eines Artikels auf Spiegel online haben in der Studie 'Recruiting Trends 2014' der Münchner Personalberatung Pape rund ein Drittel der 2800 befragten Geschäftsführer und Personalchefs zugegeben, dass Sie in den letzten sechs Monaten mindestens eine personelle Fehlentscheidung getroffen haben. Die Studie besagt weiter, dass jede Fehlentscheidung Kosten zwischen 30000 und 100000EUR mit sich bringt. Vor allem gaben häufig mittelständische Unternehmen Fehler in der Personalauswahl zu.Doch wie können solche Fehlentscheidungen entstehen Laut Rosner hängt die Urteilsbildung über einen Bewerber immer von der subjektiven Informationsverarbeitung des Interviewers ab. Bei der Beurteilung von Personen, Dingen oder Geschehnissen unterliegen wir Menschen oftmals mentaler Abkürzungen oder Faustregeln, den sogenannten Heuristiken, um etwas oder jemanden danach zu beurteilen, wie ähnlich oder repräsentativ es oder er für ein typisches Exemplar, dass seiner Vorstellung entspricht, ist.Diese Problematik ist Grundlage der vorliegenden Arbeit und soll im Folgenden näher beleuchtet werden. 32 pp. Deutsch.…

Neuware -Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Schulpädagogik, Note: 1,7, Universität Paderborn (Fakultät für Kulturwissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Seit den 1990er Jahren hat sich der Begriff Mobbing in der öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Diskussion etabliert und erfährt kontinuierlich große Aufmerksamkeit. Nicht selten werden in den Medien körperliche Übergriffe dargestellt, die drastische Ausmaße annehmen. Hierbei stehen zumeist emotional geladene Interviews der Schülerschaft im Mittelpunkt, die Täter und Opfer fokussieren und die Machtlosigkeit der Schulen thematisieren. Grundsätzlich kann in der Schule nicht nur Mobbing unter Schülern entstehen, sondern auch zwischen Schülern und Lehrern oder innerhalb des Lehrerkollegiums. Diese Examensarbeit konzentriert sich explizit auf die Mobbing-Problematik unter Schülern. Der Begriff Mobbing ist heute international zu einem zentralen Forschungsgegenstand geworden, wie die Vielzahl an Publikationen zeigt, die selbst der Experte kaum mehr überschauen kann. Durch das öffentliche Interesse an dieser Problematik stellen sich Wissenschaft und Schule die Frage, was man dagegen tun kann. Bei einer pädagogischen Reaktion auf Mobbing in der Schule ist zwischen Mobbingprävention und -intervention zu unterscheiden. Die Autorin grenzt die Begriffe Prävention und Intervention klar voneinander ab. Der Fokus dieser Examensarbeit liegt auf der Intervention bei Schülermobbing seitens der Pädagoginnen und Pädagogen: Wie können Pädagoginnen und Pädagogen intervenieren, um eine Mobbing-Situation zeitnah zu lösen Warum ist Mobbing unter Schülerinnen und Schülern eine pädagogische Herausforderung Der No-Blame-Approach stellt für pädagogische Fachkräfte eine Interventionsmöglichkeit für jede Klassenstufe und Schulform dar, die sich im Gegensatz zu anderen Interventionsprogrammen im Wesentlichen darin unterscheidet, dass sie auf Schuldzuweisungen, Verurteilung 92 pp. Deutsch.…

This was a special issue dedicated to the question 'Whose Vision : Asian Settler Colonialism in Hawai'i.'The article constitutes an advocacy of Native Hawaiian sovereignty and talks about the growing tensions between Asians and Native Hawaiians in Hawai'i. Trask believes that settler organizations, such as the JACL, intentionally obscure the issue of justice for Hawaiians by stirring up hatred against native leaders. She bases her analysis of the question of Asian/Japanese 'alleged support' of the sovereignty movement on the JACL's reaction to her sister Mililani Trask's claim that Senator Daniel Inouye controlled the sovereignty process by giving available funds only to his favorites, who are against Native Hawaiian sovereignty. The JACL, the Democratic Party, and the Honolulu dailies, so Trask, teamed up to attack her sister back, thereby obscuring her whole analysis of the real issue. Opponents of Hawaiian sovereignty accuse Native Hawaiians of 'going down the race road,' but Trask believes that this is just a means of hiding the real race issue, namely the Japanese's desire to keep their power. 20 pp. Englisch. …

That does not mean that 'passing' has not been a topic in life before, but the literary interest in it began much later.There are stories and movies about race 'passing', class 'passing' and gender 'passing', but class passing does not seem to be too interesting, as there are millions of people pretending to be richer or better than they actually are; it is almost a normal thing in society today. It does not make you suffer hard when you're not as rich or famous as you would like to be, although it makes you suffer in other ways when you are really poor. But this is not the main topic of class 'passing' anyway, the suffering of the poor.Race and gender 'passing' are much more interesting, but not because the people suffer in those stories, but because it takes a great and strong character to race- or gender-'pass'. Race and gender 'passing' are much harder to perform than class 'passing'. 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Law - Penology, grade: 81, University of the West of England, Bristol, course: Forensic Computing and Security, language: English, abstract: This essay examines the role of expert evidence in court decisions and subsequent miscarriage of justice. To this end, it takes a look at the case of Sally Clark, who was initially convicted for murdering her two infant children and later cleared of the charges. A miscarriage of justice is an ambiguous phase that is capable of instigating many distinctive meanings, interpreted and influenced by life experiences. The widely considered definition is a failure to attain justice. However this undermines The Criminal Justice System who robustly endeavours to convey justice for all, by convicting the guilty and protecting the innocent. Unfortunately this ambition is belittled by the never-ending statistic that defendants are still being wrongfully imprisoned this is because some experts are culprits of fabricating and concealing evidence. Sally Clark's trial replicates similar characteristics. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Especially the latest achievement in the normative debate, the 'Responsibility to Protect'-concept, is dubious and opens the door for abuse by 'false friends'. After an impressing and fast-paving development/increase in meaning since its first introduction in 2001, this concept is widely seen as legitimate framework for current and future humanitarian engagement and as a replacement for the former method of humanitarian intervention. But, despite the good intentions behind that concept, many critical voices underscore conceptual weaknesses or even inherent conceptual dangers of R2P. Currently, as José E. Alvarez points out, R2P is at the turning point from political rhetoric to legal norm. This paper aims on the examination of the value of R2P as recent object of normative debate and argues for more political realism among normative actors. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Therefore it is important to choose a method that fits the product, current stage of development process and the team.The project is currently in the evaluation phase in accordance to the value methodology. One of the major purposes of this stage is to come up with a short list of projects with the highest potential. Hence, a selection process needs to be executed to produce a focused concept. The focus concept will then be used in the next stages to be developed further. The weighted matrix is a method that is used at an early stage in product development process to select a concept that looks the most promising. This method helps to increase customer value and at the same time make a selection that is objective. Therefore the weighted matrix was chosen in this project to help make a selection among the choice of concepts. Often it is difficult to come to a consensus among group members as everyone is biased by their profession. Everyone has a subjective way of ranking the concepts according to their experiences and knowledge. Such a ranking can lead to dissatisfaction and conflicts in the team as well as choosing a concept that has not the most potential from a customer perspective. The weighted matrix makes the decision process on the one hand a group experience where everyone is involved and gets the acknowledgement of their knowledge and on the other hand more objective. 20 pp. Englisch. …

Is takes a look at the school as a whole as well as the individual teacher and the subject which is taught.Bramble and Garrod (cited by Kohlberg, 1979 p.210) define morality as 'perspective on life - a set of principles which, applied to given circumstances help to guide one's actions.' Lacey reveals a similar viewpoint when he defines it as concerning habits, customs and ways of life and the categorization of these into good or bad, right or wrong. He goes on to introduce the concept of a moral principle of which he presents three views: things for which we can be held responsible, a principle which is preferred over other principles and values that are universally accepted and approved.These definitions clearly illustrate one major point: that morality is an integral aspect of life. During the course of one's lifetime, one is constantly called to act upon principles that have been established and accepted across societies over decades or to act upon one's own principles in a given situation. The concept of a moral principle then is basic to all human societies and to every individual human being. However, in defining morality one needs to explore the concept in more detail. It is necessary, first of all, to look at what may be considered as moral by the individual, by the society and by different societies. Secondly, one must note that there are values such as honesty, integrity, respect and consideration for others which are fundamental to humanity. 16 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,7, Ruhr-University of Bochum (Institut für Anglistik), language: English, abstract: Bilingualism is a frequent phenomenon in our present society, and it is as varied as it is frequent. My subject of research will therefore be the fictional speech community of the SciFi-series 'Firefly'. In it, the viewer is confronted with a future in which humanity has left Earth-that-was (as the present Earth is called in the 'Firefly'-universe) due to extensive pollution and overpopulation and populated new star systems via terra-forming. Throughout this generation-spanning process of emigration, the languages of the previously geographically separated areas were mixed, resulting in a multilingual society whose main languages are English and Mandarin, presumably the two majority languages on Earth-that-was. In this paper, I aim to uncover some findings about the characteristics of the usage of Mandarin in 'Firefly' as well as some insights into the speech community portrayed in 'Firefly'. As a multilingual society which has developed through a fundamental uprooting and transplanting, it is interesting to examine the visible (or hearable) result of this process. This result will be data gathered from the series, focused on verbal utterances made by the characters of the series (visual signs of Bilingualism like street signs and inscriptions will be omitted). To gain insights on the characteristics of the usage of Mandarin in 'Firefly', I will examine the domains in which Mandarin is typically used in conversation, and examine the way in which it is used. As code-switching and code-mixing are a phenomenon which occurs rather often, I will use a numerical approach to create an overview over the number of Mandarin utterances, and analyze them further by comparing my findings with the features found in Holmes 2013. In doing so, I hope to prove that Mandarin seems to be the language which is more easily at the disposal of the speakers, in opposition to English, which seems to be the official language used in everyday situations. 16 pp. Englisch. …

While, to date, all I truly know is how to be a student, the few opportunities I have had teaching have filled me with a sense of accomplishment and pride far beyond anything I have experienced in my life. Nevertheless, I am constantly wondering, what am I going to do with my life when I am not longer in school With the exception of one semester between high school and University, I have consistently been in school from the time I was 3 years old, and upon graduating this program I will (most likely) have been in school for 21 years. I have a cousin who lives in Northern Canada, and she is working on her second masters degree; mom calls her a 'forever student'. When my mother says this, however, she says it with a sense of indifference, and even, possibly, distaste towards my cousin, perhaps believing that she should move on to a steady career by now. 16 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, , language: English, abstract: This term paper is concerned with the topic of trauma reflected in Toni Morrison's novel 'Beloved', published in 1987. The aim of the term paper is to exemplify the widespread topics of trauma and memory and to analyse in how far Morrison manages to illustrate them in 'Beloved'. Besides, I will concentrate on Morrison's strategies to integrate the themes of trauma and memory into the novel and to illustrate these subjects to the reader. The first part of the term paper will be concerned with a general overview of the issue of trauma. More precisely, I will define trauma and analyse in how far it is related to the idea of memory. The themes of memory and trauma are wide-spread so that I will concentrate on the most important characteristics which can be linked to the novel.In the second part of the term paper I am going to figure out in which ways the topic of trauma is symbolised in Beloved. In this context, my focus is on the use of the colour red as a symbol and metaphor. The next step will be to handle the repression of memory. At this point, I will briefly mention Sethe's strategies of repressing memory. After that, I am going to concentrate on the return of the repressed memory. In doing so, I will refer to the memories of Sweet Home, the place Sethe lived as a slave, and to the memories of the Infanticide. For the most part, these memories belong to Sethe but I will also refer to other main characters of the novel which are important in this context.

The present paper examines what enables the speaker to envision the Second Coming and how his vision is linked to the Biblical model. How is the breakdown of the world depicted and what are revealed to be its possible causes.The poem's title 'The Second Coming' makes reference to the Biblical reappearance of Christ, as prophesied in Matthew 24 and the Book of Revelation of St. John in the New Testament. According to Christian belief, Christ will return to conquer Satan and the forces of evil, before presiding over a thousand-year reign of peace on Earth. True to the Biblical pattern, the speaker of the poem envisions the breakdown of the present state of the world and the dawn of a new age. He adds, however, a sinister twist to the idea of the Second Coming, suggesting that the return of Christ might just as well become the arrival of the Antichrist.I will consequently go on to conclude that the poem presents the world as a perfectly balanced system of two opposing forces or principles such as: centrifugal vs. centripetal force in physics, democracy vs. aristocracy in politics, Christ vs. Antichrist in religion etc. Whenever this opposition is completely cancelled, chaos will be its consequence. All this is, however not to say that chaos sounds for the final phase of existence. On the contrary, it denotes but a phase of transition, as the world is subject to constant change and history moves in a cyclic pattern. Chaos can hence be described as being part of a greater system.I will proceed in a more or less chronological order starting with the 1st stanza where the speaker describes the present state of the world. The focus will be put here on the omnipresence of chaos and its relation with the laws of physics, political systems and the divine judgement.The second main part of the paper will deal with the 2nd stanza which presents the speaker's future vision of the Second Coming. The detailed description of the 'Antichrist' in the poem will be compared to the depiction of Christ in the Bible. In the last stanza the speaker looks back in history, as if to back up his prophetic vision of the breakdown of the Christian era. 20 pp. Englisch. …
