Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Interpretation of contracts is said to make up a half of an English commercial lawyer s diet. This statement seems to be hardly conceivable unless interpretation is understood in broad terms so as to encompass, among other things, the application of widely used clauses. The book highlights, based on the relevant case law, some of the important practical issues connected with contractual interpretation. This consideration determines the structure of the book: Part I outlines general approaches to interpretation prevalent in the legal systems under consideration; Part II analyses problems related to the rules of admissibility of extrinsic evidence as a means of aid for interpretation; Part III examines the potential pitfalls of the application of business common sense and, finally, Part IV treats legal implications of interpretation of certain types of exculpation clauses which are all closed by final conclusions. The book will be useful for students and practicing lawyers in the area of commercial law. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Ghanäs effort to improve the standard of living of her citizenry has necessitated the promulgation of several policies and programmes, and the establishment of institutions to that effect. One of the most significant of them is the decentralisation programme, which is aimed at countering the widespread failure of centralised economic planning, to take account of local aspirations and to deliver appropriate local services. It was a move to a more democratic state, with much higher level of local representation, participation, choice and accountability which lend support for good governance and poverty reduction. The decentralisation programme offers a uniform structure and processes for all Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies but there would be different outcomes and outputs due to how each local authority implements the programme. Using the case of the Tema Metropolis, this study examines how governance and poverty reduction have been enhanced through decentralisation, with the view to informing future strategies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -One of the goals of today's conservation-restoration of cultural property (heritage) is to collect as much information before the intervention in cultural heritage. Non-invasive methods that do not cause damage to cultural property in any way are used for this purpose. CT is increasingly used as a method of three-dimensional display in conservation - restoration. In addition to 'diagnostic' purposes, In this book, CT has been used as a method of observing perfusion fluid through the material (wood) using different methods of conservation. Through measuring the mean value of HU of the same shape and size of the ROI and presentation of the results obtained using a line chart a consolidant perfusion through the material (in this case - wood) can be traced, through support of medical devices, using the 'standard' software measurement of ROI in the CT image from the examinated volume.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The state is obliged to give effect firstly to access to the core or rudimentary rights encapsulated in section 26 and 27 of the South African Constitution, and secondly it may do so progressively through 'reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources'. It would be impossible to furnish all those deserving with minimum core rights instantaneously, all that can be expected is that it must addess this issue on a progressive basis, for which a plan or strategy is obviously necessary.The state is therefore obliged to take reasonable measures on a progressive basis to eliminate or reduce the large areas of severe deprivation that are characteristic of South Africa.The justiciability of socio-economic matter is an acutely contentions jurisprudential issue in other countries as well. However, the traditional distinction, according to which it is argued that only first generation rights, that place a passive or negative duty on the state, and thereby prevent the state from interference in the liberty of the individual, and not active or positive duties, requiring state support for the individual, is fallacious and therefore been legitimately impugned.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Given the growing popularity of professor ratings websites and common departmental policies to keep official professor survey responses confidential, an important concern is the validity of these online ratings. A comparison of student responses to official end-of-semester teaching evaluations and unofficial professor ratings on two widely used websites at UC Berkeley (Rate My Professor and Ninja Courses) indicates that online ratings are significantly lower than their official counterparts. There is also relatively high correlation between official evaluations and online ratings, with most coefficients between 0.4 and 0.7. Similar downward bias was found in other American institutions (Rice University and Harvard University). Some of the bias in Rate My Professor is due to single ratings and early ratings, but similar results are found for Ninja Courses, which has stricter policies regarding posting. Ratings from both websites are not significantly correlated with grade distributions, suggesting that use of these sites for grade retaliation is uncommon. Neither official evaluations nor online ratings are significantly correlated with enrollment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Systematic sampling was used to select the schools to participate in the study. All Head teachers of sampled schools participated in the study. Data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics. Utilization of Non-Governmental organization funds in planning and development of primary schools was evidenced by construction of latrines, construction of water tanks, provision of school uniform, capacity building and in-service training. Other areas of school development that did not attract partnership included construction of classrooms, provision desks and instructional materials. The researcher recommended need for school stakeholders to create favourable environment between them and Non-Governmental organizations. Sustainable parent contribution to NGO/school partnership was also recommended ¿Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -.The authors argued that the only chance for overcoming the crisis of the healthcare system in Serbia lies in abandonment of concept in which the main focus of public action is finding new sources of funding. The solution they propose is total re-engineering. The basic idea is that the change and reforms of the great resources available to the public healthcare system should be towards prevention and health preservation capabilities with the development of an appropriate system for living and working, while the more sophisticated treatment and expensive technology should be left to the private sector on the basis of mix of public and private participation. Implementation of this concept, within the framework imposed by very limited financial resources and highly complex medical situations, authors see in a new definition of paradigm 'justice'. prof. dr Stevan Devetakovic, retired full professor at Faculty of Economics, University of Belgrade, SerbiaBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Direct sequence spread spectrum uses a carrier that remains fixed to a specific frequency band. The data signal, rather than being transmitted on a narrow band as is done in microwave communications, is spread onto a much larger range of frequencies using a specific encoding scheme. This encoding scheme is known as a Pseudo Noise sequence. The algorithm used by the PN sequence generates a Pseudo Random Number Generator that is then combined, through a binary encoding process, with the binary information from the data stream. In this book, three conventional types of PRNG were implemented. These are linear feed back shift register, nonlinear feed back shift register and Blum Blum Shub generator. A fuzzy system is studied and Fuzzy based Pseudo Random Number Generator had been implemented to generate the frequency hopping sequences for spread spectrum communications system. Thirty sample patterns are the input to FPRNG, while the bandwidth is partitioned into number of frequency bins. Each bin used triangular membership function to analyze the input to fuzzy sets, encoding these as fuzzy rules. The input vector matches if-part of a fuzzy rule and fires that rule¿s output fuzzy set.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Struggle over the river of the Nile has had a long history.Egypt¿s claim to veto over the projects of the upper riparian countries and the demands of the latter to use the water of the Nile has caused continual conflicts of interest in the Nile Basin. This book has explored both past and the present struggle to use and/control the water of the river Nile. Egypt, backed by its dependency on the Nile water, the 1929 and 1959 agreements, and its military might has been a major user and defender of the Nile water; excluding the upper riparian countries. This book has answered its main question of whether the competing claims to use the Nile water would lead the region into water war, conflict or cooperation, or the co-existence of conflict and cooperation in the Nile Scenario. The question of War or Peaceful cooperation was analyzed through the contrasting theoretical frameworks of international relation theories of realism and liberalism. The findings, presented in short in this chapter, are structured around a number of points pertaining to water war,conflict or cooperation, and conflict-cooperation nexus.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.
