Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Development Politics, Haramaya University, course: Urban Development, language: English, abstract: This paper devotes to discuss the concept of sustaining food security and urban agriculture and survival alternatives for migrants, as well as factors that help initiate the process and addresses possible reasons for the disconnect and then presents and discusses the implications for linking migration and food security. This paper therefore seeks to initiate a conversation between the separate worlds of migration and development on the one side, and food security on the other.The issue of food security is strikingly absent from current debates about the relationship between migration and development. The current international food security agenda displays a similar disregard for migration. There appears to be a massive disconnect between these two global development agendas. The reasons are hard to understand since the connections between migration and food security seem obvious.The methodology consisted of two data collection techniques: questionnaire survey and in-depth, semi-structured case-study interviews. These two data collection methods complement each other by providing generalized information through the survey and more fine-grained information through the in-depth interviews. The study used 58 representatives (sample). The results show a consistent pattern of difference between urban migrant and non-migrant households in relation to levels of food insecurity, sources of income, food procurement strategies, and participation in urban agriculture.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Sonstiges, Note: 2,0, Universität Mannheim, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Für den Sport ist es wichtig, in den Medien präsent zu sein. Doch inwieweit gibt es innerhalb des Sports Unterschiede bei Medienpräsenz und Anpassungserscheinungen Und inwieweit kann es sich das Funktionssystem Recht leisten, in dem Maße wie der Sport im medialen Fokus der Öffentlichkeit zu stehen Dieser Satz und die eben aufgeworfenen Fragen leiten daher perfekt auf das Hauptthema dieser Arbeit hin. Der Forschungsbereich der Medialisierung gewinnt in der Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaft seit der Jahrtausendwende zunehmend an Bedeutung. In einer funktional ausdifferenzierten Gesellschaft weisen jedoch die verschiedenen Teilsysteme auch einen unterschiedlichen Grad an Medialisierung auf. Inwieweit ist es für Teilsysteme wünschenswert, nicht nur im Zentrum des Medieninteresses zu stehen, sondern dieses auch proaktiv zu bedienen Im Laufe der Arbeit sollen hier zentrale Unterschiede herausgearbeitet werden.Am Beispiel der Funktionssysteme Recht und Sport. Ausgehend von einer abgrenzenden und ausführlichen Begriffsarbeit zur 'Medialisierung' sollen zunächst Medialisierungstendenzen im Sport und im Recht dargestellt werden, ehe es später zu einer vergleichenden Analyse kommt, inwieweit der Bedarf an Aufmerksamkeit- und Legitimation den Grad der Medialisierung beeinflussen. Ein direkter Vergleich dieser beiden Systeme ist bisher in der Medialisierungsforschung, in der die Tendenz doch stark zur Erforschung des Funktionssystems Politik geht, noch nicht vorgekommen. Diese Arbeit kann daher als eine erste kleine Bestandsaufnahme in einem riesigen Themengebiet angesehen werden. 24 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Ältere Deutsche Literatur, Mediävistik, Note: 2,0, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit untersucht, welche Funktion die Räume in 'Iwein' von Hartmann von Aue für die Entwicklung des Helden haben.Bereits Albert Einstein hat in der Physik erkannt, dass der 'Raum' als die eine Grundgröße in unserer Welt bisher in seiner Wichtigkeit gegenüber der anderen Grundgröße 'Zeit' unterschätzt worden ist; diese beiden strukturieren und ordnen unser Leben und unseren Alltag. Ohne die Ordnung der 'Zeit' und des 'Raumes' würde die Wahrnehmung verschwinden, da für das Leben gleichermaßen wie für das Erzählen ein zeitliches und räumliches Nacheinander konstitutiv ist. Allerdings ist zu bemerken, dass der 'Zeit' bisher um einiges mehr an Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt worden ist als der zweiten Grundgröße des 'Raumes', obwohl sie mindestens genauso wichtig ist wie die Zeit. Für die mittelhochdeutsche Literatur ist vor allem eine überdeutliche Strukturierung des Textes prägend, wodurch gerade der Raum eine wichtige Rolle darin einnimmt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit ist besonders die Frage nach den Funktionen der verschiedenen vom Helden durchlaufenen Räume in Hartmanns von Aue 'Iwein' wichtig sowie ihre Auswirkungen auf dessen charakterliche Entwicklung.Das erste Kapitel widmet sich den Forschungsansätzen zum Begriff des 'Raumes' in literarischen Werken. Es wird herausgefiltert, welche Theorien auf die mittelalterliche Literatur, zu der Hartmanns Iwein gehört, anwendbar sind. Der zweite Teil analysiert die beiden Haupträume im Iwein: den des Waldes und den des Hofes. In diesem Kapitel werden die Merkmale der beiden Räume herausgearbeitet und miteinander verglichen. Das nächste Kapitel erläutert die jeweilige Funktion der Räume für die Entwicklung des Ritters. Dafür werden die einzelnen Schauplätze, die der Held durchläuft, betrachtet und analysiert. In der Schlussbetrachtung werden alle herausgearbeiteten Funktionen präzise zusammengefasst.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: The problem of this term paper is the same which millions of Europeans discuss daily, does the refugee crisis create more advantages or more disadvantages Does it entail risks or does it bring more opportunities than expected This paper is intended to give a picture of migration in Europe and to show that migration is a widespread and strategic component of the industrialization history of Europe over the last 300 years. Starting with the migration of workers from Westphalia to Amsterdam in the 18th century or the migration of Italian workers to German railway and urban con-struction in the 19th century. Migrant workers who came to Paris and German Jews who fled to neighboring countries as far as the USA. It is intended to show how history can contribute to seeing today's refugee and immigration policy in a different light and to correcting the notion that Europe is not a continent of immigration. There will not be a comprehensive overview of individual events, but rather a focus on how migrations arise, happen and end. How they give host countries the chance to develop, but also the risks involved in receiving and caring for refugees. The focus of this work will be on the flow of refugees from 2015 to 2018. 24 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2016 in the subject Book Science, grade: 1.0, University of Sussex, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to review the scholarly literature offering criticism on the concept of open access (OA) publishing, in particular with regards to the effect of OA on researcher's collaborative working. Relevant literature is critically reviewed with the aim of identifying barriers to collaboration in academic publishing and as to what degree OA can mediate these.OA relates to research outputs that are free of any restrictions on access (such as subscription walls) and free of any restrictions on use and re-use of research outputs (such as copyright and license restrictions). Some scholars regard OA as a helpful tool for fostering collaborative work amongst researchers.Observing that scientific problems have become more complex and require a joint effort, these scholars argue that knowledge creation and dissemination could be more efficient if scientists worked together. The core requirement for collaboration among researchers is commonly identified as their ability to share information freely. 16 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 8.0, Maastricht University (School of Business and Economics), course: Bachelor Kurs Jahr 3, language: English, abstract: After the first half of the 20th century, Europe had already witnessed two world wars, which were the result of frequent conflicts among European neighbours. At that point in time, political leaders such as Konrad Adenauer, Jean Monnet and Robert Schuman envision a united and peaceful European Union (hereafter called EU). European integration begins timid in 1950 with the European Coal and Steel Agreement to permanently consolidate European countries economically and politically. In 1957, the Treaty of Rome creates the foundation for the European Economic Community to establish the European Customs Union. In 1993, at the time of its third enlargement, the European States Community is grown to 12 member states and signs the Maastricht Treaty, which leads to the creation of a common currency for most of the European member states. Finally, the single market with 'four freedoms of: movement of goods, services, people and money' is completed. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Cologne, language: English, abstract: In this term paper, the main question that arises is 'What are the forms and functions of the verb system in Aboriginal English and Australian English '. Thus, studies about verb usages of both varieties of English will be analysed, providing an illustration of differences in both systems. Before dealing with these data in detail, one theory concerning World Englishes and their emergence will be presented in chapter 2.1. One of the theoretical approaches was made by Edgar W. Schneider. His theory is called 'The Dynamic Model of New Englishes.' References of this theory that are utilized in this term paper are 'The dynamics of New Englishes; From identity construction to dialect birth' (2003) and 'Postcolonial English. Varieties around the World' (2007). An explanation of historical, sociolinguistic and linguistic processes leading towards the emergence of New Englishes will thus be given. Secondly, the Verb system will be illustrated in 2.2., giving an overview of how certain verb structures are used by speakers of English. Before dealing with the analysis of examples of both varieties, the sociolinguistic background of both Australian English and Aboriginal English will be taken into account in chapter 3.1. In this part, the question arises where these varieties are spoken and who acquired and speaks them. Moreover, the history of Aboriginal English and Australian English will be explained. The data analysis in chapter 3.2. shows studies and examples of both varieties. Examples made by Ian G. Malcolm, Peter Collins and Pam Peters are mostly significant. Last but not least, a discussion at the end of the term paper will be added. This shall give readers a conclusion of certain data findings of the verb system of Australian English and Aboriginal English and how data findings apply to Schneider s Dynamic Model and to the research question. 20 pp. Englisch.…

These questions have baffled linguists and anthropologists for decades. Language is an inevitable mechanism for oral communication. Environmental background, cultural and natural aspects play a tremendous role in indicating cross cultural differences and the only possible way of classifying experience.Culture is an essential facilitator and plays an intermediary role in conveying our thought by thought language, which is a characteristic of human behaviour and the only mechanism for communication effectively. And, moreover, there is a causal linkage between language and culture, which is closely connected.It is axiomatic that culture is a social conduct since human beings are social actor and culture has a great influence on human behaviour. No one can deny that culture is remarkable factor for distinguishing between speaker of the same language by different utterances or sound patterns.This essay therefore discusses the view of Sapir and explores the linkage between culture and language from the theory of linguistic relativity. The essay argues that Sapire's claim is partially untrue. 20 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Literature - Modern Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Heidelberg (Anglistisches Seminar), course: PS II Race and Racism in Contemporary American Literature, language: English, abstract: This term paper takes a look at how cultural appropriation works in the context of African-American music in general and rap music in particular. Relevant parts of Hari Kunzru's novel 'White Tears' will be analyzed in order to understand the motivations and intentions that the two white twenty somethings have in their respective approaches to music that was made before they were born and to a subculture they never participated in due to their social backgrounds. The conclusion of this term paper then answers the following question: Was Carter right to reject the white rapper's business proposal Especially in a society like the United States with its long history of racial and cultural contacts and clashes, the appropriation of items from different cultural backgrounds is a strongly contested issue. The intensity of recent mainstream debates concerning the professional sport franchises of the Cleveland Indians or the Washington Redskins and their respective marketing of Native American culture is proof of that. When cultural appropriation is used as a vehicle of capitalism, it becomes debatable. Hari Kunzru's novel 'White Tears', published in 2017, deals with exactly these topics when portraying the business ventures of two young white music producers and their shared search for vintage sound in modern day New York City. In an early scene of the book, Seth and Carter, the producer duo, meet with representatives of a major label and their artist, a famous white rapper. Having heard of their vast archives of rare vintage sounds and their classic methods of production, the mainstream artists offers them the opportunity to work on his newest project, a tribute to all African-American music that was recorded prior to his birth in the Nineties. When Carter dismisses the project on the grounds of false cultural appropriation, he leaves his business partner as confused as the reader of the novel, since there is no further explanation offered and the plot continues. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Therefore the use of games, movies and other media is considered to be very important, because they are flexible and the students might show a higher interest in media that they already know. Students learn more easily with games, if they do not have the feeling to be learning actively. Furthermore they might already have heard of a movie or might have read the book and as a result the connection to the classroom will be more successful.It is outstanding that language in nearly every activity, task and game is used in a meaningful context, very often the intercultural communicative competence in fostered and various skills are needed. 20 pp. Englisch.…

The following research will illustrate similarities, differences, and points of disagreement, while thoroughly investigating possible hypotheses to understanding why the articles were amended, altered, or removed entirely within all three constitutions. The paper is divided into three parts; part one will elaborate on the events that preceded the establishment of a constitution by the Egyptian Government. Part two will investigate the articles within the 1971 and the 2012 constitutions and compare them to the articles of the 2013 constitution. Part three will elaborate and compare each constitution, 1971 and 2012, with the 2013 constitution. Lastly, this paper will conclude by giving a brief summary of what has been discussed in the paper and provide some recommendations to what should be amended in the latest constitution, 2013 and the institutions to make the constitution stronger and more durable. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Miscellaneous, grade: 3.8, University of Cambridge, language: English, abstract: This academic paper analyses the Sanitation Poverty in Pakistan. Pakistan's population is 207 million people. 22 million people do not have access to clean water. While 79 million people don't have a decent toilet. Nearly 19,500 children under 5 die each year from diarrhoea, which is caused by dirty water and poor toilets. Poor WASH facilities are linked to diarrhoea among children below age of 5. Diarrhoea causes immediate weight loss, intestinal damage and nutritional malabsorption among children below age 5, and one of the contributing factors towards malnutrition and stunting among children. The stunting rate for Pakistan is 45% in children under 5. Households with lower incomes and poverty have poor sanitation facilities. Along with that, social and cultural aspects also contribute towards open defecation. Domestic animals are one of the major sources of livestock which contributes approximately 56% of value addition in agriculture and nearly 11% to the gross domestic product. Livestock waste is often found within rural households. Animal dung is also used as fuel for cooking purposes. Therefore, problem tree analysis links sanitation issue with cultural, social and economic factors, resulting in poor health conditions, malnutrition and stunting in children. There have been interventions from international organizations and Government of Pakistan, which has improved the sanitation situation between 2000 and 2015. However, these have not been able to provide satisfactory results. Resultantly, Pakistan is still among top 10 worst countries in the world on sanitation services list. Political Economy analysis of the situation suggests that weak institutional structure at third tier of governance and non-participatory approach of local councils combined with the lack of enough finances have been major hurdle in eradication of this issue. Therefore, it is important that involvement of district governments in all interventions through village and union councils is ensured along-with possible taxation for sanitation services to collect revenue. This approach will bridge the institutional and financial gap to solve the crisis. 20 pp. Englisch.…

An algorithm is simply a set of steps to accomplish or complete a task that is described precisely enough that a computer can run it. It is a sequence of unambiguous instructions for solving a problem, and is used for obtaining a required output for any legitimate input in a finite amount of time. Algorithms can be considered as procedural solutions to problems where the focus is on correctness and efficiency.The important problem types are sorting, searching, string processing, graph problems, combinatorial problems, geometric problems, and numerical problems. 20 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Computer Science - IT-Security, grade: 1,0, Technical University of Munich, course: Seminar Mobile Application Security, language: English, abstract: Smartphones are being used as the preferred device for as many things as possible in today's world. This is why having secure phones that are resilient against attacks targeting their users' data, becomes more and more important. This paper tries to assess what measures device vendors have taken to ensure those attacks will not be successful. Because the market is mostly divided between Google's Android and Apple's iOS, we put our focus on those two operating systems and compare their respective security models. Additionally this comparison will be evaluating how those models have changed over time since the beginning of the smartphone era around 2010. The last part of this analysis will take a look at a different view on smartphones, the perspective of so-called 'power users': Those are people that do not only use their smartphone for downloading some apps and surfing the Internet but rather want to do some lower-level customization to the operating system, by rooting their Android device or jailbreaking their iPhone. This process of gaining full privileges on the phone not only creates advantages for the user but can also have rather negative implications on the device's security. How exactly does this affect the protections implemented by the vendor 16 pp. Englisch. …

Constructivism as a philosophical stream draws its content from various theories. His main point is that knowledge is directly related to construct. Individuals, depending on their emphasis on external reality, form a personal view, focusing, of course, on the importance of social processes in the production of knowledge.On the other hand, we observe the adoption of a new way of learning, e-learning, that takes place in a different environment, the distance environment and not in the traditional class environment. Of course, it is a fact that in the context of e-learning, adult educators have to use some special techniques and adopt different approaches in order to successfully pass their teaching work. In particular, each adult learner has his own particular needs and experiences, which the trainer has to recognize and take into account in the design of his teaching. The philosophical and methodological changes that the trainer will adopt will therefore significantly affect his teaching. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Pedagogy - General, , course: Liberal Arts, Writing and Rhetoric, language: English, abstract: Liberal Education is a pedagogical system that aims at cultivating a free human being, homini libera. It is usually based on the medieval concept of the artes liberales that offer a grounding formation and solid basis for postgraduate education. It is commonly accepted that Liberal Education is truly an education for its own sake - excluding any consideration of utility, personal gain and future profession.As we can deduct from the word alone, there must be something that sets us free. This something (someone) is the Truth itself (himself); with a capital T. Prior to this, however, if anything (anyone) is to set us free, we have to acknowledge the existence of (this) objective reality before it (he) can do so. At the core of Liberal Education stands thus the Truth. The Truth about the physical and metaphysical, the unmoved and the moving, the temporal and the eternal. A denial of the Truth (THE nut) then, in a nutshell, makes Liberal Education into a nutshell - lacking its essence, purpose, meaning and heart. 16 pp. Englisch.…
