Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - Political Theory and the History of Ideas Journal, grade: 1,0, University of Regensburg (Lehrstuhl für Politische Philosophie und Ideengeschichte), course: Grundkurs: Einführung in die Politische Philosophie, language: English, abstract: This paper attempts to analyze the distinction of friend and enemy in the Colombian armed conflict, exploring the causes of its emergence, examining the most intense phases of enmity during the conflict and evaluating the possibilities of reconciliation.Colombian history has been heavily marked by a longstanding internal armed conflict of decades, accompanied by a remarkable political, and even moral discourse of the friend and the enemy. The distinct phases of the distinction between friend and enemy have reflected either a political tension between the involved actors, or a brutal confrontation that has led until the present time to a devastating outcome. However, the radicalization of the enmity, especially characteristic of the last decades, has attenuated with the enhanced desire of peacebuilding in the country. In this sense, the Peace Accords of 2016 can be considered as an important milestone towards peaceful coexistence and as a vital step in the reconsideration of the friendenemy distinction.In order to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the Colombian armed conflict from this theoretical framework, some of the most important aspects of its emergence, development and resolution will be analyzed in accord with core arguments of the Concept of The Political and the Theory of the Partisan of Carl Schmitt. On one side it is attempted to determine if the typical friend-enemy distinction of the German political theorist can be applied to the Colombian case. On the other hand, it should be analyzed on what extent the FARC, seen as the public enemy, reflect the partisan nature and personify the absolute enemy characterized by Schmitt. Likewise, it should be evaluated if the different phases of the friend-enemy distinction, directly connected to a degree of political tension and enmity, can also be found in the development of Colombian armed conflict throughout its prolonged history.…

Neuware - Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, University of Kassel, language: English, abstract: What is math about Basically spoken, it is about uniting separate parts and bringing together something new. To understand and to read the new creation, it is important to understand the meaning of each part to create further meaning of the whole. Where is the difference to language To properly understand a language it is important to split it into smaller units and to understand the meaning of each unit it is necessary and helpful to understand the whole language. The mathematical formula is 1+1= language. Firstly, this seems to be confusing but lately, logical. Language does consist of smaller units which, once brought together, build up to a new system, a whole language. To understand a language it is therefore indispensable to understand logical connections but it is not necessary to be a math genius. Today's most striking field of linguistic, Natural Language Processing (NLP), combines the ability to think logically and to analyse language in an encompassing manner. The aim of this paper is to give a brief introduction on what is Natural Language Processing (NLP) and further, to define several challenges NLP has to face due to online data bias. The challenges which concern the field of technology as well as they influence the social impact form a work frame for the overlaying field of ethical challenges in online data which are going to be displayed in this paper. Not only existing challenges but also future solutions will be a subject of discussion.…

Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Anglistik), course: English Words, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to describe the various systems employed to convey meaning in written form, their development and possible advantages or disadvantages they might imply. According to Wallace L. Chafe (1971), language can be defined as 'a system which mediates, in a highly complex way, between the universe of meaning and the universe of sound'. The technology required to record the sounds of a language, however, was invented quite recently in comparison to the long history of mankind. Therefore, in order to document thoughts, ideas or experiences, humans had to fall back to other means, that is to say writing, in an attempt to record otherwise transient utterances. Nevertheless, devising as well as using a system to document language is by no means an easy task and, thus, analysing the process behind this development deserves special attention.…

Neuware - Essay from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: Higher, , language: English, abstract: Supernatural characters mostly form archetypal motifs in many literary writings, meaningfully. In this context, the present paper attempts at making comparative study by analysing the sociocultural influences and modalities of select littérateurs from England and India of different times and genres, those who pioneer in supernatural writings. Firstly, it puts forth the role of supernatural characters in the writings of the English authors in the forms of soothsayers and apparitions in Shakespeare; necromancy in University wits and compares them with traditional supernatural writings of India like epical, mythological, Buddhist petas and tantric writings. Then, it reflects on mesmerism in the Gothic writings, which is extended up to the role of animagi and metamorphomagi in J.K.Rowling's Harry Potter and compares with the writings of Tagore; ghost stories of Trailokyanath Bandopadhya, Satyjit Ray, Tarasankar, and Manoj Das reflecting on spiritual psychic elements; Samit Basu presents Simoqin prophesies; Shweta Taneja's concept of cult of chaos, etc. Then, an in-depth critical evaluation has been done regarding the importance of the supernatural characters in such writings from the artistic and philosophical point of views and stylistic factors. It is observed that the traditional authors of both the countries have blended mythological and socio-cultural motifs based on supernatural realities whereas in the modern times, the writers are intertextual, scientific as well as artistic and what's more, the contemporary writers have been creating new forms unique to their domains of writing or genres.…

Virginia Woolf. From essays, through short stories and letters to novels, she had written innumerable works. Many of them were published in more than one edition. But why What incites an author to republish a work in a new edition What kind of changes does a work went through when it is revised and republished And can a newer edition be denoted as 'the better one' To examine these questions, two editions of one of the most popular short stories of Virginia Woolf will be analysed in the following thesis. Therefore, at first something about Virginia Woolf's life and her way of becoming a well-known writer will be investigated. After that, the two editions of 'Kew Gardens' from 1919 and 1927 will be compared regarding their format, printing, and reception.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: Success - a catchphrase that plays a significant role in today's society. Since success must be visible nowadays and the diligence behind it has lost importance, many entrepreneurs are under very high pressure to perform. They are therefore faced with high challenges that they have to overcome. One of the challenges is to increase the value of the company, so every entrepreneur must be clear about how much the respective company is worth.In order to run a company successfully and to achieve success automatically, it is of particular importance for companymanagers to have a comprehensive understanding of the functional processes of the company. In order to understand these extremely important functional processes, there is the so-called 'Business Model Canvas', which can help to better understand. The Business Model Canvas acts as a planning tool, for designing new business models or for revising older business models.The planning tool was developed by Alexander Osterwalder. The concept was first introduced in the book 'Business Model Generation: A Handbook for Visionaries, Game Changers, and Challengers', written by Osterwalder and co-author Yves Pigneur. In the meantime, the book has even become a bestseller, which of course speaks for the concept. Themain target group of the literature are entrepreneurs, whose aim is to bring their ideas to the market as innovative, competitive projects.In the further course of this work, the Business Model Canvas will first be defined in detail and its functionality will be explained. Then another planning tool is introduced called 'Marketing Mix'. This is also defined and its procedure is described. This detailed description of both tools is very important to understand their connection. The last section serves to explainwhy the business model canvas is a tool for creating the marketing mix.…

Neuware - Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 4.5, , course: African Electoral Democracy, language: English, abstract: This research examines the impact of political apathy on electoral participation in Nigeria and South-Africa in the 2019 general elections in both countries. The objectives are to determine the causes of political apathy in the electoral participation of citizens of Nigeria and South-Africa in their 2019 general elections and to examine the impact of political apathy on the electoral process in both countries. Furthermore the author determines the trend of political apathy (voter turnout) in the general elections in Nigeria and South-Africa from 1999 to 2019, and from 1994 to 2019 respectively. The necessity of this research was borne out of the need to address the increasing rate of political apathy especially voter turnout in both democratic nations. Political participation (voter turnout) was 70% in 2003 in Nigeria when it peaked after four years of democracy. In South Africa, it was 89% in 1999 when participatory electoral democracy was restored. This had declined to 35% in Nigeria in 2019 and 63% in South-Africa in 2019 elections, representing 35% and 26% decline at the peak of electoral participation in both countries respectively. The causes of political apathy in the two countries have been attributed to lack of mobilization of the electorate, political marginalization, corruption, lack of political accountability, lack of motivation, lack of trust in the electoral process, failed promises by political leaders, lack of civic engagements, political violence, thuggery and militarization of the electoral process, political deception, powerlessness of votes etc. Citizens' loss of interest in the electoral system in both countries has clearly undermined increased participation in the political and electoral processes. The Rational Choice Theory (Downs, 1959) was used. This work observed an obvious decline in political participation in both countries. This was evident in the 2019 national elections in both countries. Lack of trust in the electoral process has undermined electorate's interest in the political system.…

In addition, special attention is also paid to the Six-Dimensions Model of Hofstede. This Model is also used to analyse and relate four cultures from different countries. The main focus of this work is on the question of what needs to be considered when dealing with cultural differences. Today's world is closely connected. People all over the world communicate with each other; People of different origins. This intercultural communication plays a special role in the social as well as in the business world, as business activities have become more intercultural. The steady increase in corporate activities on the world markets over the past decades has led to a shift in corporate culture from a purely national focus to an international orientation. Social contacts between people from different cultures have also become more permanent and intensive. This applies not only to tourist stays abroad, but also to business life. Intercultural cooperation in middle management and among employees is already taken for granted today. For this purpose it is not necessary for the participants to travel abroad. …

Neuware - Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, grade: 4.0, , language: English, abstract: Violence against women in intimate partnerships signifies acceptance of imbalance of power and abuse. It results from the abuse of force and upholding control over others in intimate relationships from societal abuse of power and authority and other forms of oppression. This paper has proposed several pastoral approaches to raise awareness among men to assess behaviors that may lead to any form of violence against women. Women living in poverty are increasingly vulnerable to male violence, and economic needs compel these women to accept strategies that make them vulnerable. Therefore, we need to increase awareness in public arenas and confront injustices. The Church and society, in general, should focus on restoring peace by acknowledging women's dignity and a man's responsibility.…

Focus is set on the interspecies connections between humans and apes. Its approach is to, firstly, embed the franchise in the scientific background. I will focus on my methodology and briefly introduce the framework of recent findings in primatology. For that, Darwin¿s The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex as well as papers by Borkfelt and Call and Tomasello, regarding the concepts of othering, speciesism and the influence of humans on apes, will be included. To prove my hypothesis regarding the characters of Caesar and Nova, seven scenes which demonstrate their special roles as mediators across the species will be analyzed. Contrary to novels or texts, films use a variety of techniques in order to illustrate the storyline instead of relying on the imagination of the reader. My major aim in the analysis is to examine, how certain techniques like facial expressions or sounds create a meaning, namely that Caesar and Nova can be considered mediators between humans and apes. A final conclusion will sum up and evaluate the main results.…

Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Law - Civil / Private, Trade, Anti Trust Law, Business Law, grade: 5.0, University of Lagos, language: English, abstract: The system of conveyancing in Nigeria today has posed series of problems, especially as regards land title. This is evident by the number of land disputes filed before the courts daily. These problems reduce the confidence of the public in conveyancing procedure in Nigeria and deny the government of revenue that ought to have accrued from land transactions like stamping fees, registration of title, and instrument. The agencies that are to cater for a smooth running of conveyancing procedure in Nigeria are themselves contributors to the issues that affect conveyancing. Dishonesty has become the order of the day amongst these agencies and even the solicitors. This paper is a deliberate attempt to look at the issues confronting conveyancing in Nigeria and proffer workable solutions that can stand the test of time. The paper sets out to look at the concept of conveyancing in Nigeria; the importance of studying conveyancing in Nigeria; the problems facing conveyancers in Nigeria; and solutions to the problems.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Arabistic, , course: Persian Literature, language: English, abstract: The Leyli o Majnun tale is popular in the Arabic and Persian literature, as Romeo and Juliet is in the West, but this tale has been repeatedly rewritten by Arab and Persian authors, even until today. Majnun's story is well known for a variety of reasons. But perhaps the direct reference of this story to the word 'madman' is a parallel reference to a mystical phase that frenzies madness. Understanding this madness and passing through it maybe is one of the toughest gates to cross. The madness in love in a well-known story which explores how a disciple fools out of madness and using that emotion and level in the right direction can be striking. How a disciple should face craziness, take advantage of it and cross it. Madness for the artist is natural, and sometimes the insanity in the artist's work can reveal a superficial world. Lover in the ancient stories passes the stage of madness that teaches the basic foundations of mysticism in the language of the higher worlds.The tale of Leyli o Majnun provides the idea that Nizami had considered Ghazali's text which has inspired the creation of his tale. Ghazali's basic and sensual image of transcending passion is imitated in Nizami's work but in a further detailed and fictional practice. In Ghazali's work, to display exceeding love in a sensual language became a standard literary form for romance. In Nizami's work, the textual union of mystical and suggestive motifs is in the way of its development. Ghazali cites two tales linked to Majnun as the model of the lover, many connections may be formed between his concepts on the different platforms and methods of love's desire and Majnun's journey on the way of love in Nizami's version.…

Neuware - Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 10th, Princeton University (Princeton University), course: Political Eeconomics, language: English, abstract: In this article, the author argues that Neopatrimonialism in Africa and Neopatrimonialism outside Africa are two different things in so many aspects, making the case of neopatrimonialism in Africa a distinguishable and different one than the rest of the world, that should be taken into consideration for further studies discreetly.The author also argues that while neopatrimonialism might leverage some nations and support democracy, the same case doesn't apply to the Sub Saharan regions.Going by the many articles defining the definition of neopatrimonialism, many researchers intertwine neopatrimonial regimes with developing countries and correlate the term with the levels of corruption and poverty in those countries.Several studies have been applied to neopatrimonialism to explain the depravity in several developing countries from different continents, without distinguishing between neopatrimonialism in Africa and neopatrimonialism in the other parts of the world.Neopatrimonial regimes in Africa are way different from their counterparts in the rest of the world; several reasons contributed to the rise, the continuity and the failure of transition to democratic regimes in Africa, among those reasons: traditions, ethical representations, and personality rule those three conditions are present and repetitive in every case of the Sub Saharan countries under neopatrimonial regimes, however, that's not the case fo the rest of the neopatrimonial states outside Africa. Research around the term neopatrimonialism and its features seem to be one of the most intricate things about this term. Some scholars have stated that neopatrimonialism spurs democracy, they have argued that patrimonialism may promote both democracy and developmental governance. While both of the arguments stated might be true, there are not found in every society, neopatrimonialism might or might not bolster democracy depending on the type of the community, the personal rule is pivotal in neopatrimonial states; however, it's not found in every neopatrimonial regime.…

Cybersecurity is the collection of policies, techniques, technologies, and processes that work together to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of computing resources, networks, software, programs, and data from attack. Cybersecurity threats have thus shifted from the cryptocurrency to attacking platforms using the cryptocurrency such as crypto exchanges. Essentially, there would be no bitcoin without Blockchain but Blockchain exists without bitcoin.The entire system works with a distributed ledger technology that operates on a decentralized pattern. The blockchain is distributed and highly available, exhibits irreversibility and immutability, and eliminates intermediaries in banking sector. For the Blockchain to function fully, it requires components such as the Node, Transaction, Block as a data structure, Chain of the blocks, Miners to perform the block verification process, and Consensus (consensus protocol). The Mixed Method methodology was used. The research utilized focus groups and document analysis to gather knowledge on the subject. A survey was conducted which included distribution of questionnaires and conducting interviews with heads of the banking sector.…

Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1.0, Technical University of Chemnitz, language: English, abstract: In the last years, constructed languages have experienced a rise in popularity. Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones feature constructed languages that have since been celebrated, examined, and learned by fans. However, the field of constructed languages is much larger than these so-called artistic languages. Definitions are blurry, and the terminology is inconsistent. This term paper aims at defining constructed languages and providing a basic overview for those who are new to the concept. The comprehensive definition will be a result of examining the terminology and history of language construction. Humans have been concerned with language for centuries. With this, language has not only fulfilled its purpose as a communicative medium, but it has left an impression on generations and nations. According to the Bible, the earth used to be of one people and one language until the people became boastful and began building a tower to reach heaven. When God saw their arrogance, he decided to confuse their languages so that they were unable to proceed with their project and instead scattered all over the earth. …

Neuware - Diploma Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Health - Nursing Science - Geriatric Care, grade: A, Kenyatta University, language: English, abstract: This work investigates whether age is among the predisposing factors for breast cancer. Breast cancer is heterogeneous malignant cells whose specific age profiles exponentially increases until menopause after which it rises gently slowly thereby reflecting the superimposition of the early and late onset rates of breast cancer. The early onset breast cancers represent mainly the untimely life transforming or inherited consequences on the undeveloped epithelium, while late-onset breast cancers in most cases are likely to follow an extended exposure to supporting stimulus of vulnerable epithelium, which has botched to age normally. Biomarker studies and clinical observations indicates that the latter staged breast cancer types often develop slowly and are less biologically aggressive compared to the early staged breast cancers despite being under the control of hormone receptors such as growth factor receptor abbreviated as (HER2) and estrogen receptor (ER), expressions hence supporting the conclusion that breast cancer biology is age dependent.Approximately twelve percent of women across the globe in the current society are annually affected by breast cancer. Moreover, while breast cancer incidence increases with age advancement, patients of younger age at diagnosis are largely associated with increase in the mortality rate. This research discusses most of the age-related factors, which affect the identification or diagnosis, treatment, and management of breast cancer incidence; examining main concepts and exploring vital areas, which calls for additional research. Ageing as a predisposing factor for breast cancer will be examined in connection to diagnosis and treatment with special reference to nodal status, hormone factors, breast cancer subtypes and genetic status. Further, although narrowly, the study will also touch on the future expectations of breast cancer identification and treatment through examination of some rising potential technologies and breast cancer tests like the miRNA.…

The study has engaged with normative research methodology mixed with descriptive and critical approach. The outcomes of the study identified those river erosion victims such as the Internally Displaced Populations (IDPs) necessities to treat as environmental migrant as well as to recognise as climate refugee. The study recommends that besides the damage restoration fund, the GHG emitting developed countries have to take the responsibility of climate-displaced population by providing them environmental refugee status. River erosion is one of the most common crises of Ganges delta from ancient era where Bangladesh has no effective policy or management strategy for the internally displaced populations although there is a successful legislation from eighteen century to protect the property rights of the victims of riverbank erosion. The concurrent terrible features of climate change on Bangladesh pointed to the increasing magnitude of cyclone, drought, erosion, flood, storm and around one-third of the entire land surface of the country would go under water for one metre of sea level rise and almost thirty million people would have in the risk of displacement. Such uncertain features of climate change have incorporated the river erosion displaced populations in the same category of migrants where the intense of the crisis and disaster management strategy has huge gaps.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: This thesis deals with the questions, whether there is a correlation between strategies and financial Key Performance Indicators (KPls) and, how their mutual interdependence developed over time. The author wants to find out if the KPls are changed, if the strategy is changed consequently and if that change, again, affects the KPIs. Therefore, this work selectively focuses on the evaluation of annual reports between 2009 and 2018 and the development and application of an adjusted Balanced Score- card (=BSC) through the further investigation of its financial perspective.Key figures make a significant contribution to the management of organisations, as they create transparency by providing information about the corporate performance and the progress towards its stated goals - its strategy. lndicators and strategies seem inevitably linked, so that they lose their meaning or significance with- out each other.Due to a study on key performance indicators of PwC in the year 2017 in Luxembourg with over 40 executives surveyed, only 45 % of respondents believed their key performance indicators monitor the performance of long- term strategic goals and 31 % are not clearly aware of the link between their KPls and their long-term strategy. Those are alarming numbers.Often companies use too many, outdated or even too few KPls and the progress of the company's KPls towards its strategic objectives is not regularly updated and communicated to the staff and workforce. A lack of information makes the general company performance be the main reason for the executives for monitoring KPls.The need for change is known as 52 % of the executives surveyed see a need for improvement of their currently followed set of KPls. One of the challenges which affected the companies surveyed within their KPl process - including a lack of standardised processes across the industry - is the unclear business strategy and the KPls' irrelevancy towards the existing business/strategy itself.This arises the question how target-oriented do German companies align their KPls and how much do they depend on the corporate strategy ls there a correlation definition the reason why the strategy reference does not become clear and should the KPls be adapted or even changed in the long term Which strategy leads to which KPls, and which value drivers influence them.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Praktikumsbericht / -arbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Biologie - Neurobiologie, Note: 1,7, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob die Taufliege Drosophila melanogaster durch Übung und Konsolidierung in der Lage ist, ihre Kletterleistung beim Überqueren einer Lücke zu verbessern. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf dem Kurzzeitgedächtnis (KZG) und damit der Fähigkeit, gelernte Verhaltensweisen nach kurzer Zeit zu wiederholen. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass Drosophila melanogaster fünf Gedächtnisstufen hat. Zu Beginn steht das Erlernen von Information. Die Nächste Stufe ist das zu untersuchende KZG. Darauf folgen Mittelzeitgedächtnis, anästhesieresistentes Gedächtnis und Langzeitgedächtnis. Drosophila melanogaster ist in der Lage gelerntes etwa eine Stunde im KZG zu behalten (Dubnau und Tully 1998). Der zugrundeliegende Mechanismus für das olfaktorische KZG ist bereits gut beschrieben und auch auf das motorische Lernen anwendbar. Es handelt sich hierbei um den cAMP-Signalweg. Dabei empfängt ein Kenyonzellneuron olfaktorische Eingänge im Calyx des Pilzkörpers. Der dadurch ausgelöste Calciumioneneinstrom aktiviert Calciumcalmodulin (CaM). Dieses bindet anschließend an die durch CaM und G-alpha doppelt regulierte Adenylylcyclase II (AC). Gleichzeitig erhält das Neuron den Eingang eines Modulatorneurons. Dieses schüttet den Neurotransmitter Dopamin aus. Je länger die Dopaminausschüttung anhält, desto länger hält die Signalkaskade an, was die Gedächtniskonsolidierung beeinflussen könnte. Dopaminerge G-Protein-gekoppelte Rezeptoren (DA-R) werden dadurch aktiviert und geben G-alpha frei, welches anschließend auch an die AC bindet. Die dadurch aktivierte AC stellt cyclisches Adenosinmonophosphat (cAMP) her, einen sekundären Botenstoff. cAMP aktiviert im Anschluss die Proteinkinase A (PKA), die dadurch in ihre regulatorischen und katalytischen Untereinheiten zerfällt. Die PKA phosphoryliert dann Kaliumhintergrundkanäle.…

Universität Flensburg), Veranstaltung: Deutschland in der Weltwirtschaft nach 1945, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ende 2020 wurden ca. 11,4 Millionen Ausländer/innen im Ausländerzentralregister Deutschlands erfasst. Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Ursache dieser Entwicklung und klärt die Frage, wie sich die Integration der ersten Arbeitsmigranten Generation in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland Ende der 1950er Jahre gestaltete. Dabei wird zunächst der Begriff 'Integration' definiert. An-schließend folgt eine Einführung in die Thematik, in der die drei Phasen der Ausländerbeschäftigung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland näher betrachtet werden. In diesem Teil der Arbeit wird die Ausländerbeschäftigung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland exemplarisch an den Immigranten aus den Staaten Italien und Türkei verdeutlicht. Dies geschieht vor allem unter der Berücksichtigung der Biographie des italienischen 'Gastarbeiters' Signore Guardavascio.…
