This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Starting in 1995, the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has been predominantly administered by an ethno-federalist structure marked by some distribution of responsibilities among ethnic, national, state, and regional components with the objective of maintaining the overall territorial integrity of the country. However, despite continued achievements of economic growth for the last decade and the attempts undertaken to lift rural poor out of poverty, the implementation of ethnic-federalism in Ethiopia for the last twenty years has produced polarizing debates. The central purpose of this study is to reassess the structure of and learn lessons from Ethiopia's type of federalism that has existed for more than two decades. In addition, the study is expected to provide additional insights for policy makers to reexamine the existing form of federalism, and thereby modify the country into autonomous democratic federalism that would contribute to Ethiopia's stability and unity, and would empower the local people to self-rule so that they could navigate forward and engage in dialogue that would effectively bargain for their interests, grievances, and aspirations. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Most past studies have focused on customer retention and have overlooked the importance of customers' cross-buying behavior. The research at hand demonstrates how variables such as behavioral loyalty, firm reputation, preference for closeness, assortment composition and perceived value influence the development of customers' cross-buying intention in the context of apparel online shopping by introducing two theoretical frameworks. The first model investigates the effect of behavioral loyalty, firm reputation, preference for closeness, and perceived value on cross-buying intention. The results show that perceived value strongly influences the relationships of other variables with customers' cross-buying intention. The second model assumes different types of goods - complementary, substitution and both - to examine the effect of assortment composition on the level of cross-buying controlling for other factors (e.g. perceived value, loyalty, etc.). The results indicate that assortment composition has a greater influence on the level of cross-buying when customers are exposed to substitution and complementary products while looking for a particular product. 88 pp. Englisch.

The fungal adhesion inhibitors can offer great promise for treating cutaneous mycoses. Herbal actives can be a reliable candidate for the above purpose.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -History of Islamic philosophy is the history of philosophical thought in Islamic civilization. Philosophical thought as a scientific enterprise cannot begin in a civilization out of external causes. There must be certain internal cause which gives a momentum for such activities; and as such these activities exhibit an unterrupted process throughout history. But this process also displays certain stages at specific periods within that history. Each stage can be named according to characteristics which they manifest. This was the case with Islamic thought as it gradually arose out of its own dynamics and resources. It thus continued in history until it reached the Ottoman Period (roughly 1300-1950).
