Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Globally, foreign aid forms one of the largest components of foreign capital flows to low-income countries. For the last four decades, countries of Sub-Saharan Africa including Kenyan have relied on external aid to alleviate poverty and address underdevelopment. Up to 2015, global foreign aid stood at $152.5 Billion with $45.8 billion given to Sub Saharan African countries and $2.5 billion given to Kenya. However, current socio-economic indicators reveal that Kenya, just like other Sub Saharan African countries, is fairing worse as compared to Asian Tigers with unemployment rate at 40.0%, poverty rate at 57.0%, indebtness at 52.8% of GDP and economic growth rate of 5.5% despite 30.13% of global foreign aid given to Sub Saharan African countries. Past studies have hardly focused on the nexus between foreign aid and the resultant political economy status in Africa and whether foreign assistance has any impact in Africa as it is still caught up in poverty and remains behind the developing world. Similarly studies in the contexts of the relationship between foreign aid and political economy have yielded mixed results with some indicating positive and others negative results.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Plunger valves are commonly used to control fluid flow inside piping systems and are the correct valves to use whenever pressure head or flow rates need to be safely and reliably regulated and controlled. A plunger valve consists of a plunger, which acts as a piston, crank and gear mechanism and an outlet according to the application and operations requirement. As the valve is opened, fluid starts flowing through the valve. The design of valve is characterised by its performance parameter. The detail flow behaviour is important to understand the valve for its efficient design minimizing the losses. The performance characteristics of valve are required for operation at different opening and under different types of flow and critical for individuals planning and installing piping systems involving the valve. Performance parameter common to a plunger valve include pressure drop, loss coefficient, flow coefficient and cavitation coefficient. While these values can usually be obtained experimentally, it is sometimes not feasible or possible to calculate the performance parameter. Another method wherein plunger valve performance parameter can be obtained is flow simulation. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Training the employees has always been considered a great tool for improving the efficiency of employees and it has shown its importance on the workplace environments as well in different societies. A huge investment is done on employee trainings and it is very important to measure the extent to which this investment benefits the organisation. Training transfer plays a vital role in enhancing the effectiveness of the organisations performance but if the training is not effective and is not getting applied on the workplace then the training provided is of no use. This study examines the relationship and impact of transfer climate, training awareness and the training involvement and participation on the perceived training transfer in the education sector of Karachi both public and private.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Public entities are custodian of public trust. The taxes they expended to acquire goods, works and services or any combination thereof should be done more thriftily. There are substantial competitive gains accruing effective disposal of assets not only in the corporate sector, but public as well. It remains absurd to note that most public entities remain negligent and/or completely not concerned about economical divestiture from the assets under their jurisdictions. The consequent outcome of this phenomena are huge losses accruing such decisions. This research sought to identify possible causes of such occurrences. It has endeavored to generate insightful strategies that could assist entities in competitive business environment, both in the public sector and the private sector establishments to manage their assets disposal activities. In conclusion, asset disposal can be considered as the key to sustainable internal sources of revenue to the public entities for enhanced service delivery. 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book grew out of the lectures in that course. The subject is of course enormous, and the course had to be designed to introduce an appreciation of the vast number of parent basic formula and the importance of their derivatives (especially in medicine), both in synthetic and in natural structures, without going into excessive detail.Similarly, fundamental aspects of basic formula. were topics given major attention but again without going into the great detail found in more advanced books on this subject. After the first offering of the course, it was apparent that the students would benefit from a brief review of some of the reactions,formula,equation and properties they had encountered in their basic chemistry course.Such reviews are included in this book.

By exploring the huge inter-connectivity potential of information and knowledge acquired so far from a wide variety of disciplines, from mechanics, (quantum) physics, thermodynamics, astrophysics, biochemistry, biology, genetics and anthropology to medicine, biomedical and neurological sciences, as well as religion and spirituality, this paper makes a comprehensive, yet simplified inventory of not only what ENERGY really stands for both at the lowest (quantum) and the highest (Universe) levels of representation in the definite matter-time field of our objective reality, where entanglements might actually create superposed states, still defying human reason, but also of how vital energy, in resonance with its corresponding permanent shifts in Nature, could have been involved, sometimes in chaotic impulses, leading to an explosive boost of physical, biologic, mental, sensory energy supplies in human body, mind and spirit. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Linguistic imperialism phenomenon 'involves the transfer of a dominant language to other peoples. The transfer is essentially a demonstration of power-traditionally, military, economic, industrial and cultural. In DRC, foreign languages, namely French and English, coexist with tribal and national languages. The unfortunate experience is that this coexistence is not, always, favorable to Congolese languages, because foreign languages (French and English) subjugate local languages (said uncodified and indigenous languages good for nothing) and contribute to their extinction. Indeed, Congolese inhabitants undergo multilingualism (diglossia). They develop the code-mixing and code-switching throughout apparent peaceful coexistence of all languages. However, the plea for a linguistic policy remains the hobby-horse of the author to maximize local languages as well. Empire is not only dominance and subjugation, but also an association of some groups of people in search of unity for developmental,economic and military security sake. Foreign languages help to get a job similarly tribal languages save ancestral patrimony. 60 pp. Englisch.

Formation and release of large quantities of gas in coal is assumed to be resulted by the transition of unstructured COM into the gas due to active chemical reactions. The proposed concept of outburst initiation considers coal microstructure instability primarily as the result of shear deformations and tectonic activities with COM disintegration under the influence of weak electric fields as a secondary factor. Based on this concept a mathematical model of gas flow in coal with changing porosity and permeability has been developed and tested focusing on forming the overpressure zone in the area of intensive gas release with enhanced porosity and permeability. 64 pp. Englisch.

Identification of the specific Histopathological pattern of glomerular injury by Renal biopsy is often the most helpful technique available for defining the cause of glomerulonephritis. Like may other developing countries glomerulonephritis is one of the common and probable cause of end stage renal disease in Bangladesh.One in 7 people suffering from different kidney diseases. Statistics an prevalence of renal diseases in Bangladesh is limited and there is no central biopsy registry in Bangladesh. Considering the fact that there is little published data on renal diseases in our country this study was conducted to describe the histopathological pattern of glomerular disease in Northern part of Bangladesh. In this book among 773 patients the commonest presentation was Nephrotic syndrome, nephritic illness and AKI remains other presentation. In a resource poor set up early diagnosis and treatment can only prevent extra burden from this diseases. DIF plays a vital role for early and accurate diagnosis in parallel to light microscopy. 52 pp. Englisch.

He lives only in the southwestern departments. Data on mink prey were scarce, particularly due to confusion between the faeces of the polecat and those of the mink. A few individuals of both species have been equipped with a transmitter collar in three sites: two rivers, one in the Garonne basin (the Ciron, near Langon), another leading into the Arcachon basin (the Eyre) and a large pond, north of Bayonne (Orx). The faeces were therefore collected per individual. The objective was to have results on the feeding of mink and, above all, the possible competition of the both mustelids. The overlap index of the trophic niche is one third (0.34) considering that prey are quite abundant in the three sites, the competition is relatively low. For the otter, spraints were collected only along the Eyre River. The recovery index is minimal for otters (from 0.03 to 0.07), which mainly consume fish and aquatic insects, few amphibians.However, the data must be criticized: minks and polecats have a different diet per individual. It cannot be excluded that these are individual preferences. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Teenage pregnancy is a significant public health issue, as it has been linked to an increased risk of obstetric complications and adverse neonatal outcomes. The findings of studies conducted worldwide over the past ten years on the cause of adverse outcomes in teenage pregnancy are contradictory. Some studies report that the adverse outcomes are due to physiological and anatomical factors associated with young maternal age, while others report that they are due to external factors such as socioeconomic status, social support, inadequate antenatal care and other behavioral determinants associated with adolescence. The purpose of this study is to assess the risk of adverse pregnancy outcome among teenage mothers in a public hospital in Alain city in the UAE in the age group (15-20) years. To conclude, we found no evidence for major impairments of pregnancy outcome among married teenage mothers in conditions of high-quality maternity care with complete coverage and all the social and psychological support. 64 pp. Englisch.

Further, to examine the musical ethnography of the students that personify the musical culture of the University and the demographic make up of the community in which the school resides. The overarching idea is to develop a radical pedagogical approach by creating a curriculum experience, which allows students to engage in a discourse of transformative learning outcomes. The focus of my Improvising Jazz Curriculum is rooted in an oral tradition pedagogy characteristically found in African American culture. The primary participates included student members of my Jazz Ensemble and other students who are music majors at NCATSU. Secondary participants included professional musicians who live and work in the Greensboro area, community business people, parents, alumni, school staff, and community patrons of the arts. The Ethnographic techniques included surveys, interviews, observations, community and school artifact collection were used to gather data during one semester of an academic year. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -BEACON-AN EDUCATIONAL PERSPECTIVE ON BELIZE AND THE CARIBBEAN captures education in a pre & post-colonial regime and demonstrates the paradigm shift in education as it propels towards globalization. The first of its kind makes mention of challenges affecting the system of schooling in Belize and the Caribbean. The book reiterates viable recommendations that once instituted can result in a changing education landscape. Further reading of this epic discourse leads the reader to understand the multifaceted dimensions by which schools are governed and the many issues that plague managements of schools and the state. The author utilized this medium to present a birds' eye view of Belize's vulnerable education system one that is yet to become robust, transform and revolutionary. The author hopes that this tool will be used as a yardstick to initiate broader communication for analysis and projected pathways for education in Belize. The author envisions that with major themes captured in the journals and an evaluation of baseline data that stakeholders involve in education will restrain from political interference and implement policies geared towards improvement of the education system. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Nigeria has the largest population in Africa with a population of about 182 million as at 2015 by the World Bank of which more than half of the people are about 30 years of age and below. Thus, Nigeria's population is made up of mostly young people. The adolescents, constituting the most sexually active group in the population, have become very important for discussion on matters relating to sexual intercourse and its concerns particularly in cases of STIs including HIV/AIDS and the resultant unwanted pregnancies (Alubo, 2014). Hence, this study looked at the evidence which examines the use of contraceptives among adolescents in High Schools. The aim of this research is to complete a Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) that determines the behaviours around contraceptive use in adolescents in order to increase their access and utilisation of contraceptive service among High/ Secondary School adolescents. The studies indicated generally low level of knowledge about contraceptives following the curriculum based Family Life HIV Education (FLHE) programme intervention with only 13% success rate achieved so far. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In coding theory there are a number of codes which are studied. In this book we specifically consider a class of codes known as cyclic codes. This class of codes has a very nice algebraic structure. We are mainly going to examine weight distribution of a binary cyclic codes which contain the all-one vector. Weight distribution is said to provide information of both practical and theoretical significance. In this book we have used the group of cyclic shifts to examine the weight distribution of binary cyclic code. The group of cyclic shifts acts and fixes elements in the set of all codewords of a cyclic code. As a result of this, stabilizers and lengths of the orbits are established. The lengths of the orbits and their frequencies are used to obtain the weight distribution. Furthermore, we have shown that if the length of a cyclic code is an odd prime and two codewords the all-one and the all-zero are removed from a cyclic code then the number of codewords remaining is divisible by the length. The analysis and results in this book are useful to all mathematicians. 56 pp. Englisch.
