Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Some economist have predicted that the slower growing economics will eventually converge with the faster growing economy at some point in the future. This is known as the convergence hypothesis. In this book, we test this hypothesis for Ghana and the Western Europeans countries with UK been a proxy, using time series data to determine whether or not it holds. We determine how fast or slow this convergence process is by using the returns to scale concept on Ghana's economy and latter account for factor that determines economic growth in sectors. The book supported the null hypothesis of convergence i.e. Ghana is catching up with the Western European. The book also shown that Ghana growth accounting exhibit decreasing returns meaning convergence is relatively slow and also signifies that Ghana is not on a balanced growth path. The book showed a negative relationship between GDP and labour both in the long run and short run relationship. Again the book showed a positive relationship between GDP and capital, Agric and Industrial sector. Lastly, the study showed a negative relationship between GDP and AID and Service in the long run.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is seen as an important channel for obtaining access to resources for development and the emerging positive attitudes towards FDI are reflected in policy changes that increasingly facilitates FDI. Empirical studies on the impact of FDI in most developing countries like Nigeria largely dwelt at macro level particularly on economic growth, neglecting the micro level. Thus, this monograph looked at the impact of FDI on the performance of manufacturing firms in developing countries particularly, Nigeria. Time series data between 1989 and 2008 were employed and in the analysis Vector Error Correction was used for test of causality and the OLS for evaluating the relationship between FDI and Manufacturing firms. The findings revealed that causality between FDI and Manufacturing firms is bidirectional. Manufacturing Index causes growth in FDI, growth in FDI inflow causes Capacity Utilization and increase in Manufacturing Value Added. This analysis help in showing that developing countries has the needed resources and the market for manufacturing firms to thrive. Hence, the need for efficient FDI into these regions. 92 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Vietnamese Catfish industry expects to earn USD 1.5billions from Pangasius export in 2010, and keep increasing to USD 2,3 billions in 2020, being the largest supplier in the world. This book endeavors to journey with its readers through the various parts of the Vietnamese catfish supply chain, in a comprehensive, but easy to read analysis. The huge loss of farmers and an extreme shortage of raw material in the later of the year 2008, expanding to 2009 was an alarm for Vietnamese farmers/processors to take a deeper look at their production and supply chain, to understand the underlying situation. The book reveals that, the lack of integrated supply chains and often low technological infrastructure for production, combined with investment decisions being based on word of mouth rather those well research facts, leave room for improvement. In other words, despite the industry's large volume and annual value, the vertical parts of the supply chain portray little cooperation. On the condition that the supply chain is strategically rebuilt and improved, Vietnamese catfish industry is absolutely capable of further expand its position in the global market. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book seeks to integrate the sociology of Emile Durkheim with the psychology of Carl Jung. The purpose of this goal is to develop a sociological definition of 'wholeness' or 'integration' that can be developed further in theory and research. Historically, the concept of the unconscious is not the exclusive domain of psychology. The fact that Durkheim advocated the need for sociologists to study the unconscious has been overlooked until recently. This text takes the position that from within a social context, conceptual classifications or distinctions can be made between groups and the individual, as well as between consciousness and the unconscious. Further, I suggest that the human experience includes a personal and a collective consciousness, as well as a personal and collective consciousness. My intention is to integrate all of the conceptual categories that these dualisms entail, and thereby contribute a new social psychology of Durkheim and Jung. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, while giving new maritime rights and interests to states, does not break the existing maritime legal order or affect the vested maritime rights of the states. The systems of archipelagic waters, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf provided for by the Convention allow states to extend their sovereignty or sovereign rights to wider sea areas. However, states can extend their sovereign rights only to areas traditionally recognized as open seas and, in doing so, they may not infringe upon the vested territorial sovereignty or sovereign rights of other states. The various historical rights enjoyed by China over the South China Sea are vested rights that had been established long before the entry into force of the Convention. 60 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Although the civil war affects civilians, its impacts men and women in different ways, and it influence their gender roles and responsibilities. Comparatively little attention has been given to accessing the gender sensitivity of international organizations who implement post-conflict reconstruction programs. The different social, economic and political dimensions of war to peace transitions, and how they impact on gender relations, can shed some light on the complicated intersections of needs and interests in war torn societies. An examination of the policies of World Bank reveals that there is relatively little gender mainstreaming within their post-conflict operations. This research finds that lack of resources and coordination, the failure to build on local capacities, and a lack of commitment to gender mainstreaming are the main obstacles organizations face. To improve the situation it is recommended that organizations develop and use a gender checklist' at all stages of project planning, implementation and monitoring to ensure increased gender sensitivity in post-conflict programming. 104 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The availability of water in terms of both quantity and quality is essential to the very existence of mankind. Earlier people recognized the importance of water from quantity view point. Recognition of the importance of water quality developed more slowly. In the field of water resource management, information on the water quality is an essential input. Changes in water quality can be the result of domestic, industrial or agricultural discharges. The number of physical and chemical parameters such as pH, DO, alkalinity, conductivity, total solids, hardness, inorganic and organic trace elements etc. That needs to be monitored for proper assessment of water quality of any water resource is very large. In water resource management, where classification and comparison of different water resources on the basis of water quality is often requisite, it will be more convenient to integrate the data pool in some way to produce a single number. Water Quality Index (WQI) achieves these objectives and is of great value in water resource management. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Wheat is the most widely grown cereal grain crop and staple food of people in the world. Among many other factors of low yield in wheat, one of the most serious but less addressed causes is the presence of weeds. Weeds compete with crops for nutrients, light, space, moisture and cause reduction in wheat vigor, tillering, head size, kernel weight. Weeds lower the market value of the produce and hence bring economic losses to the growers. Chemical weed control is preferred over other weed control methods like manual weeding, mechanical weeding, intercropping, crop rotation and stale seed bed technique because it is quick, more effective and relatively cheaper. Grassy (narrow leaved) weeds like Phalaris minor, Avena fatua, Hordeum vulgare and Cyperus rotandus are the serious problem in wheat.This book describes identification of different grassy weeds present in wheat fields and most economical herbicides for controlling these weeds,especially against P. minor. 76 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Since ancient times connoisseurs of number theory are fascinated by the prime-composite classification of natural numbers, but the law governing their distribution could not be discovered. This problem was also highlighted by CF Gauss by stating: the dignity of the science itself seems to require that every possible means be explored for the solution of the problem so elegant and so celebrated. This monograph provides the solution to this problem by studying primes via composite numbers and, interestingly, it is simple enough to be understood even by under-graduates. The formula so obtained has found several applications, while leaving further scope for the specialists. Thus, it meets the requirement of amateurs and specialists alike. APPLICATIONS : An effective algorithm for separating primes from composite numbers along with their prime factors developed; a new formula for number of primes up to any given integer sans approximation and hypothesis derived; Dirichlet's prime number theorem modified; three prime conjectures proved; five new arithmetic functions introduced; some holistic probability-theoretic innovative ideas developed by going in to the genesis of the problems. 120 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The emergence of the multiplex has had a significant impact on the way Indian films, especially Hindi films are made, exhibited and distributed. This book contends that the factors contributing to this change are related very intricately to the liberalization policy adopted by the government and the increasing influence of the Non-resident Indian and now considerable population of the Indian diaspora across the world. This view is also shared by others but the challenge is to analyze the influence of these factors to create a new genre of film and in the process discover that a new audience has evolved in the interim. Many cities are evolving through malls and these malls house multiplexes, since the inception of the film industry films have been for mass viewing but now with these malls/multiplexes the film is now an exclusive commodity. By tracing the history of the multiplex in Hyderabad and chronicling the effects of the liberalization policy this book intends to assess the future of film exhibition and viewing in relation to the multiplex, globalization and the increasing influence of the N.R.I audience. 92 pp. Englisch.…
