Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 2,3, University of Koblenz-Landau (Anglistik), course: Didactic Perspectives on Linguistics, language: English, abstract: In this paper, it is argued that task-based language teaching is a suitable teaching method for explaining the English grammar of reported speech to foreign learners. Reported Speech is used when a sentence is reconstructed. However, the reported sentence has some differences from the original sentence, for example the tense and the pronouns. Cognitive Grammar aspects, integrated into TBLT, help learners understand the meaning behind the tense backshift and the other differences and allows them to apply this form correctly.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Document from the year 2021 in the subject Theology - Biblical Theology, Namibia Evangelical Theological Seminary, language: English, abstract: While some scholars reject the notion that the evangelist Mark portrays Jesus as the Suffering Servant of Isaiah, Misseline Gordon, who lectures at Namibia Evangelical Theological Seminary, holds that this is exactly what he does. Having convincingly argued her case, she demonstrates that the concept of the Suffering Servant provides a helpful model for both Christian discipleship and leadership. If Christian discipleship means following Jesus and the goal of leadership is to help Christians to do so, disciples of Jesus will need to embrace the biblical message that sacrifice, suffering and service to others constitute essential elements of the Christian life. In a country like Namibia, such an understanding challenges not only cultural conventions and theological views but also church practices and leadership patterns. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2005 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 2, , language: English, abstract: This report compares the thermal performances of two dwellings, type A and type B, in calculating the heat loss parameter of each dwelling. In times of climate change and scarcity of resources, the importance of energy efficient building design has increased significantly and costumers demand new solution to get independent of rising fuel prices and to save energy. Therefore, energy efficient design has to comprise more than just insulation of the envelope of dwellings. Whilst the insulation still is one of the most important mean to stop the heat loss of the fabric, the concepts of heating, lighting and internal appliances have gained a great importance in energy efficient design. 20 pp. Englisch.

However, Todd Phillips has humanised this villain and given him a story that not only amazes but also touches the audience. He manages to make anyone, who previously only saw the murderous clown as a monster and Batman's worst rival, sympathise and feel empathy, forgetting for a brief moment the fictional character's outrages yet to come. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2006 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 2, , language: English, abstract: This report appraises six local and regional climate change strategies from all over the world. The global threat of climate change is addressed throughout the world. Local level authorities compose with various motivations documents that directly or indirectly aim at carbon emission reduction. An important emitting factor is transportation. The reduction targets range from vague verbalisations to ambitious numerical commitments. To achieve these targets measures are in a way similar in all strategies but their potentials have to be specified. The implementation of the measures faces serious barriers and therefore, success of the strategies is in some case questionable. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 2,0, Helmut Schmidt University - University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg (Politikwissenschaft), course: Political Systems of Central and Eastern Europe, language: English, abstract: The term paper aims to explain the varying level of democracy in the two post-Soviet countries Estonia and Lithuania.The topic is relevant due to the proximity of these countries to Russia, as well as the current trend of democratic backsliding across Central and Eastern Europe. The two particular cases were selected due to their overall similarity, as the paper pursues the most-similar system design.The theoretical framework first conceptualizes democracy, the dependent variable of the study. It proceeds to introduce some factors which might theoretically be responsible for the differing level of democracy in Central and Eastern Europe in general.The research design chapter describes the most-similar system design, introduces the index of democracy to be used in the empirical analysis, and lays out the steps of the empirical analysis.The empirical analysis first delivers the scores of the democracy index for the two countries, before evaluating the possible effect of various factors. The analysis finds that the decisive factors are political and not economic. 20 pp. Englisch.

His iconic depictions of tough male characters could in a sense be interpreted as some of the only resilient entities navigating through uncertain, everchanging America.In Gran Torino, at the age of 78, we find Eastwood patrolling a newfound border: He tackles and questions the concept of masculinity that defined his career. 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Social Studies (General), grade: 10/10, University of Iceland, language: English, abstract: Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991 that changed the world's geopolitical balance, and after the strengthening of the block against Cuba by the United States, many experts have predicted the imminent collapse of the Cuban Revolution. However, the Cuban Revolution survived despite the fact that all socialist regimes had fallen one by one in the face of the advancement of the neoliberal globalization. Cuban society, based on the concept of equality and freedom, was designed to assure social solidarity and mutual support of all members of society who are viewed as equals. It is considered the fundamental value of the socialist humanism. The Cuban Revolution not only survived, but became notable and widely acknowledged with regards to its achievements in social and human development, particularly in education, health and international solidarity. Between 1989 and 1993, the most rigid year of the crisis called Special Period, gross domestic product was reduced by 50%, and the national debt tripled. The Cuban economy was, until then, largely dependent on exports, exports decreased by 75%. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Sociology - Work, Profession, Education, Organisation, grade: 1.9, University of Erfurt (Willy Brandt School of Public Policy), course: Public Policy, language: English, abstract: In this paper, the authors discussed public policy, political leadership, their similarities, and differences and how entrepreneurship interacts between public policy and political leadership. We are confronted by policies in our daily lives and as students of public policy, our quest is to understand how these policies are made: and if these policies or rules no longer meet our needs or the needs of our communities, then it concerns us how they can be changed. Being equipped with such knowledge, prepares us to work effectively in public or private management positions, as we direct and coordinate resources in a manner that advocates issues in a public and political context. The change we seek to have in our societies is spearheaded by leaders through a process of decision-making. Leadership plays a big role in influencing and supporting others to work enthusiastically towards achieving objectives and in the implementation of policies. This fact creates a thin line between political leadership -the catalyst that transforms potential into reality, and public policy - which involves altering human interactions and relationships that transform culture, social orders, behaviors, and institutions over time impacting society. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Africa, grade: A, University of Ibadan, language: English, abstract: The institution responsible for electoral management is called electoral management body. They are solely responsible for organising an election with the assistance of other government bodies, most importantly, the Police. This paper aimed at making a comparative analysis of the different systems (Nigeria and Cameroon) of election management through institutions called Electoral Commissions. A qualitative study, data were sourced from secondary sources. The study tried to identify some trends. In the word of Fukuyama (1992), democracy is the ¿endpoint of man¿s ideological evolution¿. At the end of Cold War, the world saw transition of hitherto authoritarian military/ monarchical states to democracy. Between 1990 and 1994, about thirty of one forty-one African states that had not held multiple party elections did so. Eligible citizens expressed their right to air their opinion through voting on who they so desire to govern them. It is not only in national elections that voting has a special importance, but also in many institutions, private and public domains. As experience has shown so far in many of these countries, elections become not day activity, rather they are complex set of activities with different variables that act and feed on one another.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Cultural Studies - European Studies, grade: A, University of London, course: MA WRITING FOR PERFORMANCE, language: English, abstract: Through a discussion of Peter Brook¿s The Tragedy of Hamlet (2000), Complicite¿s Mnemonic (1999), and Song of the Goat¿s Macbeth (2010), we see clear examples of how these productions are using ¿no-place¿ theatre as a site for embracing cultural equality (rather than cultural ambiguity) on stage as these productions all search for the universal values which bond different cultures together. The expansion of the global market has inevitably had an incredible impact on the shaping of contemporary theatre. This can especially be felt through the rising popularity of ¿no-place¿ theatre, which often strips back cultural specificity and replaces it with spectacle. Dan Rebellato refers to this theatre as ¿McTheatre¿, a genre under which he includes big brand productions such as The Blue Man Group, Cats and The Phantom of the Opera. These productions often embrace cultural ambiguity in a way which allows them to both move anywhere and (even more importantly) sell anywhere. Their ¿no-place¿ quality allows for their ¿every-place¿ relevance, as they and sometimes even profit more from their merchandise than their actual shows Hence, the values of these productions are very much the values of the global market, to sell as broadly and quickly as possible. While such a discussion may give the label of ¿no-place¿ theatre a negative association, globalization has also led to another strand of theatre, one which becomes a response to (rather than the result of) globalization. This is the theatre produced by artists such as Peter Brook, Complicite theatre, and Song of the Goat theatre, companies who go against the grain of the global market by using ¿no-place¿ theatre as a site for returning to cosmopolitan and Universalist values, rather than the global market values. Unlike globalized commercial theatre, the ¿no-place¿ quality produced by these artists is in no way the result of cultural ambiguity; instead, these companies chose to represent a variety of different cultures on stage, linking these productions to a place that is both here and there. But above all, by striving to represent different cultures on stage, these companies return to a sense of cultural equality, one which embraces Universalist values, which Zygmunt Bauman notes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - International Politics - General and Theories, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: War as an Instrument of Policy examines the principles of war and how they may apply to the method of decision making in the higher realms of government when military and civilian leaders meet. It begins with an exploration of the emergence of a new kind of limited war beginning with the Vietnam conflict and discusses the principles of war along with typical military theory and strategy to clearly provide an understanding of the thought processes and actions behind the conducting of a war. Two contemporary examples, the Gulf War in 1990 and the South African invasion of Angola in 1987, provide the opportunity to examine the process of military decision-making on every level in these conflicts. Finally, methods of successfully and carefully employing a military methodology of decision making to capitalize on the success of war are suggested. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Health - Public Health, grade: 98, , language: English, abstract: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) underscores the long-standing flaws of healthcare systems across the world. Since the initial outbreak in Wuhan China in late 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic continuous to subject healthcare systems to their limits. The pandemic has triggered a series of reactions across the world, with composite transnational implications. Yet, contingency policies at the national level have led to divergent outcomes, often with immense human and socioeconomic costs. Some countries like New Zealand were quick to react to the pandemic, which has since proved effective in containing COVID-19 transmission. However, indecisiveness, policy errors, and discordance have adversely strained healthcare resources in other nations like the United Kingdom. The sheer scale of the COVID-19 crisis constitutes an imperative precedent for evaluating potential opportunities to improve population health. Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic offers exclusive insights and opportunities to strengthen public health infrastructures, cope with a future health crisis, and other global health issues.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Earth Science / Geography - General, Basics, , language: English, abstract: Some coastal and inland residential areas in Ghana have deposits of granite outcrops, such as those found in Winneba, a coastal town in Ghanäs Central Region. Residential granite outcrop deposits mostly draw the people¿s perception about their origin and why they appeared in such areas. The study was therefore aimed at finding out the perception of residents about the existence of granite outcrops in parts of Winneba Township. The study was mainly descriptive using total respondents of 60 residents from three communities within the Winneba Township. These were selected through systematic and purposive sampling and were interviewed. The study also relied on first-hand information as well as documented literature. The results confirmed that the perception of most residents was influenced by their level of education and also traditional beliefs. Even those with higher education relied on historical myths and folk tales handed to them by their grandparents, either than scientific-based research. It however appeared that the varying perceptions of the residents mostly did not fit into the scientific explanation of the origin of the granite outcrops in the communities. Based on these findings, it was recommended that public education be carried out to create awareness about these outcrops, their preservation and utilization. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Essay from the year 2019 in the subject History - Asia, grade: 2,0, University of Education in Schwäbisch Gmünd, language: English, abstract: The division of Korea goes back to the second world war. At the end of the war, on August 9 in the year 1945 the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. Japan occupied Korea since the year 1910; therefore, the Soviet Union advanced into Korea because it was a part of Japan. Although this attack was approved by the Allies in the Yalta Conference, the US government showed concerns about this act of violence. The thought of all Korea becoming a subject to the Soviet Ideology caused them to request Soviet forces to stop their military activity. It was called for a stop at the 38th parallel north, splitting the country into two parts. The first part North Korea, occupied by the Soviet Union and the second part, South Korea, still free from any military activity caused by the Soviet Union. South Korea would be occupied by the US military. Officially South Korea was established on August 15, 1948. Syngman Rhee would be the first president of South Korea and in conclusion most of the US military left. North Korea would be official established on the 9th of September 1948. Kim Il-sung was declared prime minister. The result of this was in the end two countries with two very different political directions and viewpoints: the birthplace of antagonism.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - History of Literature, Eras, grade: 2,0, University of Paderborn, language: English, abstract: In this term paper, I am going to argue that the reason for the gender conflict as well as the gender development in hard-boiled detective fiction can be found in the historical background and historical incidents of which the United States suffered during the Twenties. Further, I will support Seesslen¿s claim that, after World War I, there was the public¿s desire for a more honest and harsh view of America which is fulfilled by the post-war realism used in hard-boiled fiction.For this, I will try to outline the realism in Dashiell Hammett¿s 'The Maltese Falcon' (1930) as a representation and/or critique of the United States in the 1920s. This particular novel is used because it can be seen as representative for many other hard-boiled fictions and the hard-boiled genre in general as Dashiell Hammett¿s work redefined crime fiction. His stories mark an obvious shift from the classical detective story in which the detective is the main crime solver in middle-class suburban places, to an urban space in the United States where organized crime, gangsters and corruption pervade the city.The characters involved in 'The Maltese Falcon' will help to draw a certain connection between the historical development of the United States and the development of men and women in hard-boiled fiction. For that reason, in chapter 2, I will try to define the hard-boiled genre and in which way its plot structure and themes are shaped by the historical events and social issues of that time.In chapter 3, I will present the two archetypal characters, the Femme fatale and the tough guy, in hard-boiled fiction. Because both of them can be found in 'The Maltese Falcon', I will use this novel to analyse masculinity, or more precisely, the protagonist Sam Spade, and femininity, mainly Brigid O¿Shaughnessy, in chapter 4 and 5.By means of the conclusion in chapter 6 I will summarize the main results in order to support my thesis that the hard-boiled fictions¿ plot, especially the gender identities, mirror historical incidents and social developments the United States underwent during 1920 onward.In addition, I will put the insights on femininity and masculinity in hard-boiled detective fictions in a broader context concerning the film industry and the hard-boiled fiction¿s impact on following genres, just like Film noir. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 2,0, University of Würzburg, language: English, abstract: This paper deals with Afrofuturism and black ecologies in american films. A survey from October 2017 has shown that almost all of the black people who responded to it (92 percent) said they felt that discrimination against African-Americans exists in America today. Furthermore, at least half said they had personally experienced racial discrimination concerning equal pay, employment, and promotions, or in their encounters with police, but also when going to a doctor or a health clinic. Many of these surveys illustrate the discrimination today of especially African Americans in the United States and hence their dissatisfaction with the political situation in the country concerning the treatment of colored people. Despite the civil rights movement during the 1950s and 1960s, which was a struggle for social justice for blacks to gain equal rights under the law in the United States, discrimination against blacks did not end then (History). Even though the Civil War (1861-1865) officially abolished slavery, African Americans continued to endure the devastating effects of racism, especially in the South (History). 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: 75, Staffordshire University, language: English, abstract: The predicament of our moment (Anthropocene, Chthulucene, Capitalocene¿) calls for disruptive ways of thinking and acting. A (re)reading of Michel Serres and feminist new materialist theoreticians can lead us towards creative, realistic, and pluralistic ways of understanding human and nonhuman agency. Both Serres and FNM attempt to subvert the conventionalism of the (so-called) modernist thinking, by effectively problematising the Cartesian subject and its objectification of nature as passive (or ¿gendered¿, as Iris van der Tuin puts it). Such a reading can be a fruitful endeavor to and help to mend the age-old schisms between the castrating dichotomies shaping contemporary thought, as the one between human and nonhuman agency. 20 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Musicology - Contemporary music, grade: 1,0, , course: German Music and Politics, language: English, abstract: This paper explores the blankness in Alligatoah's music using Daniel Chua's theory about blankness in music. Lukas Strobel (known as 'Alligatoah') refers to himself as an acting rapper, which is why one cannot connect his music with the person behind the pseudonym. By creating an abundance of characters, he manages to create a blankness that allows his music to be used in different contexts. As a consequence, Alligatoah's songs have been appropriated in the past. Alligatoah¿s song Musik ist keine Lösung is the title track of his fourth studio album that came out in 2015. The song accuses political music of not having an effect and states that political singers depend on political problems in order to fulfill their passion. The narrative claims that music cannot be the solution for any political or societal issues. However, the audiovisual support of the music video provides a greater depth of the work and proves not only the blankness of Alligatoah¿s musical creation but also of him as an artist.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: Who does not know the adventurous stories of characters like Huckleberry Finn or Holden Caulfield - the Bildungsroman is quite a popular genre of American fiction. Generally portraying an adolescent protagonist on his way towards maturity, the image of coming-of-age, alternatively called initiation, is also a common topic of short stories. These short stories basically deal with the protagonist's shocking confrontation with (usually) one hitherto unknown aspect of the adult world, which offers the protagonist the possibility of development and 'growing up'. A short story that contains such an initiation process is Sarah One Jewett's 'A White Heron'. Sylvia, the nine year old protagonist, gets confronted with female suppression in a patriarchal society, embodied by a nameless hunter who tries to find a rare bird in order to kill it for his collection. Feeling more and more attracted by the hunter due to the awakening of her own sexuality, Sylvia wants to please him and is tempted to reveal the bird's hide after having found it herself when climbing a tree. However, the protagonist decides to remain silent at the end of the story and not to give the bird's life away. Literary scholars have argued that, with regard to the protagonist's initiation, there are generally two readings of the story: on the one hand, one can read it as Sylvia's successful process of self-discovery and her initiation into the secret of nature, but on the other hand it can also be read as Sylvia's anti-initiation into sexuality and society. This paper is going to argue that these two readings of the story are not incompatible, but that Sylvia's initiation occurs on two different levels within the story and that her successful initiation into the secret of nature even requires her rejection of submitting herself to male dominance and her anti-initiation into (hetero-)sexuality. 16 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: This paper implicitly examines detailed aspects about English as an official language, with specific focus on Maltese English. The book 'The English Language in Europe' by Hartmann (1996) provides the theoretical foundation and primary literature source for the introduction of this term paper. The status of English has rapidly changed from the original and ancient language of England and America to an essential tool of international and global communication. English is currently considered the World language, a language everyone should be able to speak in order to communicate with other people from all around the world. In Europe, the concept of English as a world language is widespread and therefore vividly discussed. The research interests lie in the importance of English as an official language in Europe and the development of English in Malta. 16 pp. Englisch.
