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.

Neuware -Many African countries, the elderly are the sources of wisdom, the guardians of the mysteries and the laws in which the cultural heritage of communities is expressed. The common African adage beautifully expresses this idea, 'If an African elderly dies, it is a library that burns'. Particularly in Ethiopian culture, there is a broad range of behavior that really shows the elderly is indeed valued including children's respect, obedience, loyalty, material provision, and physical care to parents. However, in more recent years, Ethiopia's elderly seem to have come rather marginalized a great deal particularly in the cities (HelpAge, 2001) possibly because of changes in the value systems, shifts in the dominant source of knowledge from the old to the young persons, retirement that displaces the elderly to a state of economic dependency, expansion of urbanization with a culture of its own, influence of the western culture that values youthfulness and so on. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study details the Mental Models of Robotic Programming which Students used in a Supplementary Programmable Embedded Systems hands-on course. The course was taught using the cognitive apprenticeship instructional methodology at Instituto Superior de Humanidades e Tecnologias, of the Universidade Politécnica de Moçambique, in Mozambique. Twelve students participated in the research. Several tools where applied to elicit the mental models of the students. The students' mental models were compared with predetermined robotic programming mental models. The number of correct robotics programming mental models increased during the hands-on activities. However, the study identified a number of correct and incorrect robotic programming mental models used by the students. Some students were found to not constantly using the correct robotic mental models. The reason for this has been attributed to the mental models theory which states that mental models are unstable. The study also revealed that the use of cognitive apprenticeship as an instructional approach helped the students to develop correct robotic programming mental models.
