Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A cross-sectional study using structured questionnaire was conducted in two sites in Livingstone, selected on the basis of socio-economic status. 130 women aged 15-49years were randomly selected using a 10% systematic sample of households and the data collected was analyzed using EPI INFO version 2000. The study mean age was 29.5 years. 3.1 %( n=2) of women revealed their HIV sero-status while 4.6 %( n=3) were in polygamous marriage. Women with Secondary education was the highest respondents, 55.4 %( n=36) peri-urban community and 47.7 %( n=31) urban community. Urban community had the highest proportion of women (16.6%) with College/University education compared to 1.6 %( n=1) peri-urban community. 84.6% (n=55) were unemployed from the peri-urban compared to 60% (n=39) from the urban community. The study revealed that there was an association between high risk behaviour for contracting HIV with residence (p=0.034) as well marital status (p=0.046). Married women were more at risk of contracting HIV (62.1%) than women who are not married (34.9%). Women in urban areas were more likely to be at high risk behaviour of contracting HIV (62.8%) than women in the peri-urban area (37.2%).Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -It is often argued that the primary political function of the press is to act as a ¿watchdog¿ warning against abuses of power by the ruling elite. As the ¿fourth estate¿, the US press is expected to serve as a source of substantial information for citizens about political, social, and economic issues, to keep a critical eye on public officials and watch over the general public¿s interests, and to provide a forum for free and honest debate in which diverse opinions can circulate and compete freely. In contrast, the other perspective is one that views the press as a ¿lapdog¿, a close companion of established power. According to this perspective, rather than serve as critic, the political function of the news media is to act more as an arm of established political and economic power. The purpose of this academic book is to try to comprehend whether the ¿fourth estate¿ functions primarily as an instrument providing constraints on the Power Elite, or whether it serves to promote the interests of the powerful. It would be of great interest for Political Science and American Studies¿ students and researchers interested by the functioning of American Democracy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Graphene is an attractive alternative material for diverse applications in electronic devices, fuel cells, biomedical sensors, energy storage, and super-capacitors due to its exceptional thermal,electrical, optical and mechanical properties. This material can be synthesized by many effective methods such as chemical vapor deposition,and micromechanical exfoliation of graphite. This book investigates a novel and clean approach to grow graphene directly from bulk graphite by Pulsed Laser Ablation in Liquid. This technique is simple, and fast;a one-step procedure to fabricate pure and stable graphene nanoparticles by short ablation time. It results in controllable-size products, high mass production, high stability, less aggregation, and absence of chemical agents,a known disadvantages observed in other approaches for graphene production. Confirming the presence of graphene is carried out by several characterization techniques including Raman spectroscopy, UV-VISIBLE, AFM, SEM,and TEM. These techniques allow an insight into the morphological and structural properties of the produced graphene. The potential recipe for growing high quality graphene is intensively explained in this book.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In this book we studied about and created a prototype of a home automation system for the remote control of electric devices, based on a platform of open-code micro-controllers and cause effective programming. This system allows us to remotely control home devices via mobile phone and the Internet. Furthermore, it allows the user to create rules of automated function for the devices through mobile phone applications. The device recognizes the presence of a person in the house which we take advantage of to create energy saving scenarios. More specifically, with the use of Arduino as well as the metaplatform on{x} and Tasker software, we created home device controlling scenarios and succeeded in getting a result through which we are given the ability, through pre-defined rules to have ''smart'' communication with our homes electric devices as well as save energy. In addition, we can send an sms, in case our device does not support an Internet connection, to activate and De-activate electric devices. Last but not least the users can use voice commands. The book contains link with the codes of the project.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Language teaching and learning is not merely about linguistic competence itself; rather, the aim is to also gain an awareness and understanding of another culture. Whilst this concept is nothing new, it is questionable however as to whether the learning experiences that take place in MFL classrooms do in fact contribute to a genuine intercultural awareness amongst young people. Does a language curriculum, at Key Stage 3 (11-14 year-olds) in particular, provide for intercultural communicative competencies , or does it merely provide for a rather shallow and essentialist understanding of the culture in question The research project outlined in this book describes how a group of 12-13 year-old students of German were given the opportunity to inquire into the term 'intercultural awareness' in their own context. The intention was that the process of being involved as student researchers, designing their own curriculum, would lead to an improved understanding of the term. Students were given the opportunity to be part of a learning community (Flutter and Rudduck, 2004) together with their teacher; a method that can indeed enhance student, and undoubtedly teacher, understanding.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A passionate philosophy graduate, Winsome Lee, invites us to a challenging dialogue regarding Cosmopolitanism and multiculturalism. Thick Cosmopolitanism, as a social and psychological challenge for restoring social justice, seems to be promising due to its unconditional support from individualistic nations. Yet, the whole thick cosmopolitan claim depends upon the Western Individualistic framework and democratic thinking. If Cosmopolitanism is plausible, it should have worked in the non-individualistic nations too. However, this is not the case. The extensive effects from Western legality suggests that legal equality does not necessarily translate or equal to social equality. Instead, it suggests that the social meaning of justice for these non-individualistic countries is meant to be hierarchical. Given the current global situation, it is always tempting to conclude that probably human race is better off having a communal life style, running by communalism. Thus, it is feasible for us to engage into the thinking inquiry in order to try shed light for a way out for the current situation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Horror can be found in almost every medium in popular culture, especially in literature, cinema and legend, but why is it so pervasive, and how do writers create fear Examining the techniques behind domestic horror in contemporary fiction, this text discusses the rich heritage of the genre, explores the figure of the monstrous mother and father, and the important role of defamiliarisation in creating authentic horror within safe spaces. In the first chapter of Kin, the author then uses the techniques discussed in the essay to build an unsettling world framed within a suburban household, whilst attempting to confront the problematic representation of women within Horror literature.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -¿Se avessimo anche una Fantastica, come una Logica, sarebbe scoperta l¿arte di inventare¿. With this quote by Novalis, Gianni Rodari (1973:4) begins his Grammatica della fantasia (Anthology of the Fantastic). Literary reception through time has fulfilled diverse functions; amongst these, the fantastic and the marvellous have carried out pivotal roles with regard to emotional education, social control or a means of evasion (playfulness and humour). From the very outset, marvellous tales that have been used to explain the world we live in, including their application in the education of young people to ward off the unknown (Bettelheim, 1976), their moral and religious applications, including jocular ones, pass through a process of acquisition of literary skills that are commonly attributed to the schools. It must not be overlooked, however, that the family and church act as contributing elements to the dissemination of literature of the imagination. With this in mind, even through the undertaking of reviews of study plans, different syllabuses for the subjects of language and literature, divided into nations, or established for the memorising of data will not be found.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The study is to investigate the mortgage consumers¿ shopping behavior and factors affecting their decision in choosing housing loan in Malaysia. It is also intended to investigate whether mortgage consumers are well-protected under the current regulations. To achieve the objectives, the data has been collected by means of questionnaires. Questionnaires were distributed to mortgage consumers who took up the mortgage between years 2007 to 2011. The results show that consumer choose interest rate or profit rate as the most important factor. However, interest rate or profit rate is not a priority factor in determining their loan selection criteria. Loan duration or financing duration is their first priority for loan or financing selection criteria. Consumers¿ confusion is related to the level of interest rate while the real determinant factor of obtaining a mortgage is the affordability of consumers to service the monthly installments. Developers appeared to be the most important sources in which consumers seek information pertaining to mortgage choice. The finding show that there are fair disclosures provided to consumers as mandated by Bank Negara Malaysia.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The fusion of the psychological and the social personae is a feature of a pre-modern normativity that persists in some theoretical descriptions. Differently, in a ¿functional differentiated society¿ normative learning entails the understanding of duties and rights from a reflective perspective about the source of validity of the rules. This doesn¿t mean only that one must situate the normative content within a biographical, familiar and organisational frame. More decisively, one must put duties and rights against the contrasting background of the psychological persona and the social persona. A contrasting background that is learned and always changing. Second Order Ethics as Therapy is an essay to tackle with the theoretical challenges that surface when the observation of the moral discourse operates in order to distinguish the different sources of the making and unmaking of motives and duties. The essay is especially concerned with the therapeutic relevance of second-order observations in the inducement of personal change.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study critically analyses the recent education reform efforts in Qatar, and the changes taking place in various levels of education, as well as their preliminary effects on the human capital development for Qatar. Data were collected through content analyses of the reports on the standardized international test results, findings of research studies, as well as the outputs of local assessments and the national reports on education. The analyses revealed that since the launch of the new education reform in 2002, Qatar focused on education as the key to its future progress,and significant changes have occurred in the educational landscape from many aspects. However, despite of the substantial investments made, Qatar is still far from meeting its national curriculum standards and has a long way to go for providing quality education, especially in mathematics and science education. The findings provide an overall review of the quality of education system in Qatar and devise progressive policy recommendations for upcoming years.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -So many years have passed since the principal of the artificial cloud seeding was discovered by Schaefer (1946) and Vonnegut (1947). And the technique has been used in many countries in order to enhance rainfall amount there. However, many people doubted whether rainfall amount can be increased by using the technique. It is curious situation that some people convince effects of artificial cloud seeding and the others doubt it. The inconsistency is ordinary attributed to diversity of natural clouds. Then we intend to show effects of artificial cloud seeding in conditions as simple as possible to confirm that the technique is always effective in suitable conditions as same as other scientific results. For the simplicity, liquid carbon dioxide was directly injected into developing clouds of super-cooled liquid water particles. And we wrote this book to develop the technique in order to control rainfall amount with researchers who are interested in artificial cloud seeding.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A wide range of polymeric materials on the base of epoxy resins and fast appearance of new products - both force to consider the problem of creating a flexible multi-product technology for their production and to find an optimal procedure of searching a synthetic regime for any new composition. The monograph is devoted to the problem of increasing the range of polymeric compositions that have a broad application in industry: constituents for coatings, numerous repair compositions, and so on. Possibilities to improve the physico-chemical characteristics (solidity, adhesion strength, chemical stability) have been considered. Modification of epoxy oligomers with the use of bi-functional alcohols or cyclocarbonylation of terminal epoxy groups makes it possible to generate a new complex of properties for an initial polymer. A detailed kinetic study with applying calorimetric technique followed by mathematical modeling of modification processes is presented. Selection, modeling and safety assessment of the reactor unit functioning are discussed. The monograph may be useful for chemical engineers and research workers in the field.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -South Africa underwent a major political transformation in less than a decade. Once isolated internationally because of the system of apartheid, which was denounced by the United Nations as a crime against humanity, by 2002 South Africa was an all-inclusive, liberal democracy boasting a constitution that had often been said to be one of the very best in the world. It was an active participant in numerous international organisations such as the United Nations, the Commonwealth and the African Union, among others, and was at the forefront of efforts to promote democracy on the continent and to improve Africäs image through the New Partnership for Africäs Development. Given these significant changes since April 27 1994 when South Africa held its first all-inclusive elections, this study sought to assess how business leaders in Britain, South Africäs biggest trading partner at the time, perceived the country as an international brand.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The study of organisational change has evolved over the last number of years and is still an evolving dynamic. Change can occur for many reasons, but primarily in this century the drivers for change have been the pace of modern technology, customer service and communications. How business adapts to these drivers will to a large extent determine the success of change. It is not only in private business that organisational structures and culture affect the rate of change, it is also a dynamic that public service organisations have to be aware of and manage. This study takes one public service in Ireland to demonstrate the interrelationships between culture and structure and how it impacts change.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 152 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -With intensification of the integration and globalization processes inflation forecasting has shifted to a conceptually new stage in the last decade. As such, the overview of the inflationary processes in developing countries for the period in question shows that rise of the general price level in those countries tends to be more and more explained by the impact of external economic factors: an excessive influx of foreign currency, rising prices for imported goods, fluctuations in energy prices, and a number of other exogenous variables. The book thoroughly analyzes the impact of the listed factors on the inflation for Armenia transmitted mainly through the exchange rate channel. It is, furthermore, investigated how the monopolies, poor rule of law and other institutional factors distort the pass-through of the given exogenous shocks onto domestic inflation. The contribution reveals poor performance of the linear models for inflation forecasting and proposes application of Markov chain switching regimes model to get the probability distribution forecasts, followed by utilization of the neural networks model to arrive at accurate point inflation forecasts.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is in many ways a personal account, a journey through the world of GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar), as seen by one of the methods most experienced user (especially for archaeology and forensic science). In this way, the author is hoping to demonstrate by example, and thus avoid what he says in his introduction: that this is ¿not another book on GPR¿. The aim of this book is to give a manageable guide for the clear and understandable connection between GPR theory and practice. For this purpose, I have decided to write this book, giving the tools to better comprehend and correctly use the ground penetrating radar in different fields through a list of real cases. The multiplicity of possible GPR uses makes obvious the consideration that it is an essential and multi-tasking operation, in objectively complex fields and employing investigation tools of various kinds. The purpose of this book is to progress the ability to calibrate the GPR intervention in a correct way, facing different problems and difficulties. The cooperation of the various ¿entities¿ involved during a GPR investigation is crucial for keeping alive the credibility of this technique in the future.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.
