Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Psychology - Developmental Psychology, ( Atlantic International University ), course: Master of Psychology, language: English, abstract: The primary objective for this study was to conduct an empirical investigation to gather information in the form of data from adolescent males and females in the Pretoria region of South Africa. Information was gathered with respects to their level of physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, hostility and depression. The information was used to identify whether correlations exist between the three variables anger, aggression and depression for South African adolescents.A literature study was conducted and the following hypotheses were developed for this study:I. Males are more likely to engage in physical aggression than females.II. Males and females are equally likely to engage in verbal aggression.III. Males are more likely to experience feelings of anger towards others.IV. Females are more likely to experience feelings of hostility towards others.V. Males and females are equally likely to report feelings of depression.VI. Rates of physical aggression are higher in younger adolescent males than older adolescent males.VII. The expressions of verbal aggression in females are constant throughout adolescence.VIII. There is a significant positive correlation between feelings of anger and expressions of aggression.IX. There is a significant positive correlation between feelings of anger and feelings of depression.X. There is a significant negative correlation between physical aggression and feelings of depression.The quantitative data gathered came from the completion of a structured questionnaire comprising four distinct sections: demographic information, the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ), the Anger Questionnaire (AQ) and the Choate Depression Inventory for Children (CDIC). The questionnaire was administered to Grade 7-12 pupils (aged 12-19 years old) in an independent school in Pretoria. The sample group was randomly selected and yielded 243 completed questionnaires. The data was coded and entered into the Moon Stats statistical programme for analysis; affording the opportunity to generate both univariate and bivariate statistics in conjunction with the calculation of Pearson product moment correlations.Analysis of the data yielded the following results:More males than females recorded ¿medium¿ levels of physical aggression at 58% to 42% respectively; this trend remains for ¿high¿ levels on this section, with males recording 66% against 34% for females.…

Als Grundlage dazu sollen die Entstehungsgeschichte und der strukturelle Aufbau dieser Organisation angeführt werden. Da die Republik der Sieben Vereinigten Provinzen2 bei der Gründung eine wichtige Funktion einnahm, stellt sich die Frage, inwiefern sie Einfluss und Kontrolle über diese Organisation ausüben konnte. War es ihr sogar möglich, die Organisation zu lenken, oder war die VOC doch eigenständig Anschließend soll der unternehmerische Charakter im Kerngeschäftsfeld während der Etablierung und Ausdehnung in Asien analysiert werden. Dabei soll den Fragen nachgegangen werden: Mit welchen Strategien sollen die Ziele der VOC erreicht werden Um was für eine Art von Unternehmen handelt es sich dabei eigentlich Ist die VOC eher als Handels- oder Militärunternehmen zu verstehen In diesem Zusammenhang ist die Art der Herrschaftsausübung in Asien ein weiteres Kriterium zur Einordnung. Damit einher geht die Problematik, ob es sich bei der VOC auf ihrem Höhepunkt überhaupt noch um ein Unternehmen handelt oder sie mehr einem eigenen Staat gleicht. Auf dem Höhepunkt werden zudem Grundlagen geschaffen, die zum Scheitern der VOC beitragen. Der beginnende Untergang der VOC führt zum Eingreifen der Vereinigten Niederlande.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich AdA Verkehrsberufe / Flugverkehr / Logistik, Note: gut, Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg (Institut für Verkehrsplanung und Logistik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Unvorhersehbare Krisen- und Störereignisse wie die Aschewolke im europäischen Luftraum 2010, die Katastrophe von Fukushima, der SARS-Virus oder politische Spannungen haben einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die ordnungsgemäße Funktion logistischer Ketten. Diese und andere Ereignisse haben die Verletzlichkeit (Vulnerabilität) und durchaus die Grenzen der Belastbarkeit der globalen Transportsysteme offengelegt. Doch auch weniger spektakuläre Ursachen wie ein Personalstreik, ein Brand, ein Strom- oder Computerausfall, Wetterkapriolen oder der Wegfall eines Wertschöpfungspartners können eine Kette unvorhersehbarer Ereignisse auslösen und sich in der Summe negativ auf ein gesamtes Transportnetzwerk auswirken. Insbesondere auf die - hinsichtlich ihrer Geschäftsentwicklung ohnehin schwankungsanfällige - Luftfracht wirken sich die o. g. exogenen Schocks erheblich aus. Die Luftfrachtbranche ist dem Auf und Ab der Weltwirtschaft besonders ausgeliefert.Bedingt durch unvorhersehbare Krisen- und Störereignisse können LVG, Flughäfen, Luftfrachtspeditionen usw. ihre Ressourcen nicht verwenden können. Der Zielstellung dieser Arbeit liegt die Vorstellung zugrunde, dass sich ein Krisenauslöser auf die Nutzbarkeit von Flughäfen, Strecken und Transportmittel ei-nes Luftfrachtnetzes auswirken kann. Beispielsweise kann ein Flughafen bedingt durch Brände, Anschläge, IT-Ausfälle usw. nicht angeflogen werden. Strecken oder ganze Gebiete eines Flugnetzes können aufgrund von Wetterkatastrophen oder gebietsbezogenen Personalstreiks nicht nutzbar sein.In der Untersuchung wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Handlungsmöglichkeiten Luftfrachtunternehmen im Krisenfall haben, wenn diese Teile der eigenen oder der öffentlichen Netzwerkinfrastruktur (z. B. Luftstraßen, Flughäfen und damit auch dort geparkte Flugzeuge) nicht oder nicht im vorgesehenen Maße nutzen können. In der Untersuchung stehen die Wege- und Verkehrsmittelwahl in der Untersuchung im Blickpunkt. Der Grund für die Wahl des in der Regel kostenintensiven Lufttransports besteht vor allem darin, dass Güter besonders schnell, sicher oder über weite Strecken transportiert werden müssen. Doch wie reagieren die Entscheidungsträger in Luftfrachtspeditionen, wenn nun das Transportmittel der Wahl nicht mehr verfügbar ist Welche Restriktionen legen die Akteure des Luftverkehrssystems, wie Flugaufsichtsbehörden, Auftraggeber oder die Politik auf 120 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2009 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 1,7, University of Southern Denmark, course: Experiential Marketing, language: English, abstract: This proposal for Vodafone Europe offers a solution to face the risks for the business caused by the financial crisis as well as by matured markets. To meet the needs of today's customers we provide an experiential marketing campaign.The core of the campaign is a promotional tour through different countries in Europe. Customers are engaged in the campaign by voting for the locations, at which promotion events can take place, and at the events themselves by getting entertained and educated, by getting an escape from the daily routine and by getting involved in various activities. Beside those 'realms-mixture', the concept includes different marketing strategies of sensory marketing. The experiential character that differentiates this promotion event from others is created by keeping the content and the procedure of the event secret from customers until they visit the event. The finance needed for a successful implementation is enormous, but we also provide possibilities to reduce costs whereever possible. The need for labour is relatively moderate and can mostly be covered by existing Vodafone staff. The time horizon is estimated on a total of five months including a marketing activity before the promotion tour starts. Need for materials is relatively low, as the company already disposes most of it.The costs resulting from the implementation of the marketing campaign are outweighted by various benefits like an increase in revenues, new contracts and strengthened partnerships.The team for the implementation consists of three persons: a media designer, an administrative executive and an event manager. All three of them are experienced and have enormous expertise in their field.We can assure you that this marketing campaign will be a huge success for Vodafone Europe and will help to overcome problems of the financial crisis. 16 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, University of Trier, language: English, abstract: 'Earth has not anything to show more fair'. This line is the first of William Wordsworth's sonnet 'Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802'. As a romantic poet, Wordsworth usually praises nature and its beauty but this sonnet differs from his other poems. In this text, Wordsworth expresses strong feelings and emotions towards London in the 19th century. He describes London in the morning and surprisingly he is amazed by the beauty of the city itself. How far in detail this poem contrasts with other pieces by Wordsworth will be clarified in the main part.In order to understand the poem and its meaning, it is helpful to take a closer look at different levels of description. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of the main linguistic features such as the vocabulary used by Wordsworth and also the discourse structure. Additionally, it is important to consider the significance of the context, the role of the reader as well as their expectations. 16 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, grade: 1, Massey University, New Zealand, language: English, abstract: The argument of whether recreational hunting is justified in the modern era is a controversial issue, with pros and cons being espoused by both sides of the argument. Through applying a sociological theory that looks to analyse the interaction and relationship between the environment and the people who inhabit it, it will be argued that the position one takes on hunting is a reflection of their ecological habitus on the macro-level and the desire to satisfy emotional needs on the individual level. By first outlining the historical context of hunting within in New Zealand, as well as defining the basic concepts of ecological habitus, it will be demonstrated that hunting attitudes are influenced by identification with a national 'kiwi' identity, one's environmental location and type of capital possessed. Furthermore, it will be shown that those who choose to hunt can be categorised into three general groups, with all displaying similar underlying themes. In applying the theoretical ideas of ecological habitus and feminist psychoanalytical theory, a more complex understanding is gained on the various external and internal influences that direct people's behaviours and belief systems around hunting. Relational processes between people and their environments, alongside repressed emotional states, are also shown to play an integral part in the decision to hunt. 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, grade: 1,25, Massey University, New Zealand, language: English, abstract: The issue of whether recreational hunting hurts or benefits the environment is a controversial topic, with a range of different positions being advocated for. Through applying a socioecological theory that analyses the relational process between humans and the environment, I will argue that the position one takes on hunting, whether it be for or against, is a reflection of their ecological habitus. By outlining a brief history of hunting within New Zealand, my first hunting experience, and defining the key concepts of ecological habitus, I will link my own hunting perceptions and practices to ecological habitus and lay the theoretical foundations that influence an individual's position on the matter. It will be shown that in New Zealand the ecological habitus towards hunting is heavily influenced by one's environmental location, type of capital possessed, and identification with a national 'kiwi' identity. The impact of this is that the formation of hunting practices is a direct product of the relationships between people and their environment. By applying a concept of ecological habitus a more complex understanding of peoples' behaviour towards the environment can be gained. 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, grade: 1,75, Massey University, New Zealand, language: English, abstract: In an age where psychiatric disorders are an increasing problem at both local and global levels, the need for qualitative ethnographic work by anthropologists is becoming more and more critical in understanding the issues surrounding diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues (Schlaepfer & Nemeroff, 2012, p. 1). By examining Estroff's (1981) Making it Crazy, a review will be presented that analyses Estroff's theoretical stance and how its application is both useful and a hindrance in understanding the complexities of psychiatric disorders. While Estroff incorporates interpretative anthropology, structural-functionalism, and various other anthropological, sociological, and psychological methods in her case study, her main theoretical stance that will be examined is an interpretative anthropological one. Through first providing a brief outline of Estroff's ethnography and a definition of interpretative anthropology, the way she explores her subject through various interpretive methods will be demonstrated with an analysis of its strengths and weaknesses. By applying an interpretive framework, Estroff is able to gain an in-depth understanding of the complexities of patient life. However if other anthropological theories had been integrated into the analysis a more holistic interpretation and conclusion would have been reached. 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: CIFS, , course: Level 3, language: English, abstract: The law comprises a systematic set of rules that regulates the behavior of individuals, business, and other organizations within a society1. The role of law in every country is practically the same in that they all pursue one single purpose. However, we will divide them into three major legal systems as the method of facing to the given problem or the conduct of rules differs from one country to another. Each of these legal systems namely Common (Anglo-American) law, Civil (Continental) law and Religious (Islamic) law represents the same functions, and differs from each other by the way the law enacted, or processed and the way it emerged. In this article, the importance of the sources each system has and a just comparison between the sources of these systems will be covered and the importance of the convergence theory is put forward. 12 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Theology - Biblical Theology, grade: 1,7, University of Edinburgh (School of Divinity), course: Old Testament 2, language: English, abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit thematisiert die Vergewaltigung Tamars durch ihren Halbbruder, wie sie in der Hebräischen Bibel 2 Sam 13:1-22 geschildert wird. Der Fokus der Analyse liegt auf der Rekonstruktion der Hauptaussage des Textes. Dabei wird deutlich, dass es sich nicht nur um die Gewaltszene handelt, die vordergründig stattfindet. Viele Wissenschaftler vertreten die These, dass die Vergewaltigung Tamars ein literarisches Mittel ist, um den Plot voran zu treiben und eine logische Begründung für nachfolgende Ereignisse zu geben. Es gehe eigentlich nicht um Tamar, sondern um Absalom. Die Autorin dieser Arbeit legt den Fokus wieder auf Tamar und beleuchtet mit einer postmodernen Herangehensweise die hintergründigen Ungleichheiten der Gesellschaft vor allem in Bezug auf das Geschlechterverhältnis. Die Vergewaltigung Tamars wird so zu einem Sinnbild von einer patriarchalen Kultur und dem Zusammenspiel von Macht und Gewalt. 16 pp. Englisch.…

It is a subject of considerable anthropological discussion and many theories have been devised to account for its existence and meaning. This essay will focus on the functionalist approach to ritual in terms of its preceding theories, the different directions it took, and the theories that it inspired. This will be done primarily through an historical analysis of functionalism throughout the 19th and 20th century by its key proponents. 16 pp. Englisch.…

And through the critique of accountability and responsibility, one may find the true bearer of power: public citizens. The government has to be accountable to its citizens because the power is ultimately delegated by them, through voting. To sustain this power, the public must continuously ensure that governments are being responsible and accountable, for anything less is undemocratic. 12 pp. Englisch. …

In all the samples, 77.3% showed elevated ESR without evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis and elevated ESR were influenced by age. In conclusion, ESR could serve as an important prognostic index but not a diagnostic index unless used in conjunction with other specific tests such as cultural techniques, nucleic acid probes and nucleic acid amplification using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ESR left alone cannot serve as an important diagnostic index for tuberculosis since elevated results were recorded even in the absence of disease.KEYWORDS: Erythrocyte Sedimentation rate, Diagnostic index, pulmonary, Tuberculosis 12 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Pedagogy - Science, Theory, Anthropology, grade: 2:1, University of Cambridge, language: English, abstract: While the question presupposes that a potential 'trade' takes place in marriage payments, I argue in this paper that the preoccupation with the 'things' traded in for instance most of the structural-functionalist analysis is mistaken. Much more, marriage payments are about social reproduction as a whole. In the course of the analysis, I want to qualify the manifest idea that things are 'exchanged' in marriage payments, either immediately or over time, as developed mainly by structural functionalists. According to the traditional paradigm, the single underlying formula is 'money versus rights'. Rights in this context can relate to very diverging parts of social life as I will show below. Woman, children, sexuality are often - as structuralists such as Levi-Strauss (1977) argue - part of a wider system of potentially reciprocal exchanges. It is important, however, to not 12 pp. Englisch.…

Because of the wide range of theoretical and practical approaches existing in the field, there is an ever-present need to critically analyse counselling's role in society, in conjunction with the evidence to support it. This essay will explore the scientific evidence surrounding counselling in New Zealand and analyse the significance, in terms of efficiency and effectiveness, that counselling has on individuals at the psychological and emotional level. This will be done by first giving a definition of counselling alongside pointing out the differences that make it distinct from other helping professions. Second, the nature and purpose of counselling will be outlined, alongside its intention and the prerequisites needed to facilitate interpersonal connection. Last, the value of counselling will be demonstrated by giving an analysis of the issues facing validation and then illustrating studies at both the international and national level to demonstrate clinical efficiency. It is concluded that the link between evidence-based research and counselling is one that requires stronger emphasis and through developing more counselling orientated research projects, a greater value will able to be placed on the role of counselling role within New Zealand culture. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Scientific Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, , language: English, abstract: This article examines the multiple economic and social problems Africa is facing, and concludes that the continent transformation rests not on 'aid' but momentum for 'wealth creation' which can be look at from these key pillars: entrepreneurship, knowledge, governance and technology. Africa needs to think outside the box when establishing and utilizing these pillars. However, to make these pillars work, mindset transformation is a precondition. Africa has to start having bigger 'mental picture', reflecting long-termist, rather than short-termist attitudes. The continent has to move from begging to borrowing and restructure its communities to push the perception of networks beyond closed ethnic networks. The continent also needs to include fresh actors in its development plans; for example, Africans in the Diaspora and the new-breed business class. Immigrant entrepreneurs in Africa, especially Asians, must be encouraged and supported to channel their investments towards the vital sectors. Better leadership and governance system would be established if the people are viewed as citizens and not subjects. In the same way, leaders in Africa should perceive infrastructure as the foundation of a successful economy. The success of Africa's active involvement in global trade can only be actualized when Africans decide to learn lessons from the jungle, where the active pack is the king. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This will be done by outlining a general definition of class in relation to Marxist ideology and then applying this viewpoint to the historical development of PNG in relation to capitalism and class formation. It will show the major influence that the middle class had in the promotion of class identity, particularly normalising class differences. The essay ends with a reflection on middle class values in PNG and how they influence, but are nevertheless, part of the adaptive nature of capitalism. It is concluded that from a Marxist perspective, understanding class formation in PNG is tantamount to understanding class theory in general. 20 pp. Englisch.…

There are several reasons for that: Weber's famous definition of the state as the 'human community successfully claiming the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory' has been contested by state-deniers such as Radcliffe-Brown (1940/2006) or later 'fetishists' including Abrams (1988) and Taussig (1992). They acknowledged the need to pin down the state in practices of everyday life rather than as an abstract 'fetishised' unity. Most recently, heightened influence of globalised companies ('corporate turn', Kapferer, 2005), NGOs and transnational organisations such as the IMF and the world bank (Trouillot, 2001) dispersed centres of sovereignty even further. Following historical developments, the study of the state has come full turn from Hobbes's 'Leviathan' to Foucault's 'capillaries'. I will briefly mention several different ethnographic analytics that can help to still trace the state and its effects in this multi-dimensional context - introducing notions of institutions, culture and history as locations for state power - before I focus on the study of a seemingly non-state political expression: resistance. I examine Abu-Lughod's (1990) mighty claim that where we find resistance, there is power (i.e. the state) with the help of ethnographic case studies from Egypt (Ali, 1996), Botswana (Comaroff, 1985), Malaysia (Scott, 1989), India (Nandy, 1983) and Turkey (Navaro-Yashin, 2002). 12 pp. Englisch.…

De Silentio indicates that true faith can only be arrived at through the individual and his engagement with the paradox of faith. Thus, only the single individual, as termed by de Silentio, is capable to stand in a true relationship to God. In the following, I will aim to explain the concept of the single individual as well as what de Silentio means by the paradox of faith. I will relate this to the story of as it figures in de Silentio's account of the paradox and the distinction between the tragic hero and the knight of faith. In this discussion, the concepts of interiority and exteriority, subjectivity, and mediation will be associated with the broader explanation. 16 pp. Englisch. …
