Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -By 2030, more people in the developing world will live in urban than rural areas; by 2050, two-thirds of its population is likely to be urban. The world's population as a whole is expected to grow by 2.5 billion from 2007 to 2050. This demographic transformation has profound implications for health. Botswana is no exception to the challenges of urbanization. It has experienced rapid urbanization since the 1980's. Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana is often described as Africa's fastest growing city because it is experiencing an increased influx of migrants from rural and neighbouring countries. Over half (54%) of Botswana's population currently lives in the urban settlements. Despite the fact that urbanization has benefited Botswana's economic and social development, it has also generated wide range of socio-economic challenges. This book presents the findings of the study on the social determinants of health conducted among the poor urban residents in Gaborone, Botswana. The book should be useful to policy makers in governments, International development partners, Non Governmental Organizations and scholars in the field of public and urban health.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -When compared to MTA cells, MTB-01 cells were susceptible to risedronateinduced apoptosis, had decreased ability to bind to risedronate-treated bone, and did not produce MMP-2 or MMP-9 proteases. MTA cells were less susceptible to risedronateinduced apoptosis and produced MMP-2. Additionally, adhesion of MTA cells to bone matrix was not diminished by risedronate treatment. Our results suggest that the nonresponsive nature of the MTA cell line may be due to MMP-2 production (possibly allowing ongoing destruction of risedronate-treated bone), continued adhesion to risedronate-treated bone matrix, and decreased susceptibility to risedronate-induced apoptosis. 128 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Women in school management positions, particularly principals of schools have a number of challenges, for example, they are caught in between work responsibilities and the role of being a mother and wife. Gender stereotypes makes the society look at women managers as uncapable of managing schools. Hence they sometimes tend to lose their identity as women in a male orientated field of school management. Therefore, they sometimes tend to grow muscles in an attempt to prove themselves as capable managers. Despite all their challenges, they still believe in effectively managing their schools through involving all the stakeholders that have interest in education matters in the decision making process. This strategy seemed more appropriate in promoting democratic participation in schools as stipulated in South African education policies. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The management of HIV/AIDS stigma among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHAs) is based on the social construction of HIV/AIDS and sexuality; traditional masculine and feminine identities; discourses around sexuality and its relation to HIV/AIDS stigma. Since HIV/AIDS is sexually transmitted disease, its stigma is of two forth. A disease transmitted sexually as a result of violation of sexual norms and values and the AIDS disease itself. Different groups such as men versus women, adults versus children and prostitutes/barmaids versus married women experience stigma. However, the level of stigma varies from one group to another depending on the degree in which sexual norms and values have been violated. Social institutions such as family and region assign conformers and deviants of sexual norms, values and morality. They have power in determining the management of stigma among people living with HIV/AIDS. At individual level, management of HIV/AIDS related stigma is difficult but rather strives to cope with it. The management of stigma will be possible if HIV/AIDS will be dissociated from issues around sexuality 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study presents the historical background and details of the Kyoto Protocol, its flexible mechanisms, and carbon markets. As the carbon market appears to be the most visible result of regulatory efforts to mitigate climate change, this study provides comprehensive reviews of the operation of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), the Clean Development Mechanism, the Joint Implementation and also other segments of the global carbon market. It appears that the existing several carbon markets mostly operate in isolation from each other, which leads to a fragmented global carbon market. This analysis suggests that improving the competitive conditions of carbon markets and increasing the substitutability of project-based credits for allowances can develop the integration of the markets. Potential improvements may include providing greater availability of credits within the EU ETS, providing greater clarity and simplicity of the EU ETS s rules regarding the use and the import of project-based credits, providing greater coordination between the EU ETS and the Kyoto mechanisms, and providing greater harmonization in regulatory frameworks. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work investigates the effect of the financial liberalization programs of the 1990s on bank efficiency in transition economies for the period 1993-2005. Using data from nearly 6000 bank/year combinations for 16 countries, individual bank efficiency scores are computed, which are then aggregated to obtain a national efficiency score for each country per year. These calculations are performed using a non-parametric input-orientated frontier analysis with constant returns to scale. Strong evidence is found that suggests financial deregulation programs have a positive influence on the efficiency of banks. Within these liberalization programs, banking regulations and policies on securities markets seem to have the strongest positive effect, while credit controls negatively influence bank efficiency.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -At the time the study on which this book was conducted, Ethiopia, with a population of over 77 million, was one of the most underdeveloped countries even by African standards. This book is based on direct observations of the life condition of an agrarian community of Ethiopia that is almost encircled by the Blue Nile River Basin that contributes about 62 per cent of the waters of the Nile River Basin System.

This book can be used by many actors involved in poverty reduction, food security, water management, planners and managers of social development programs as well as farmers and members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Needless to state, the issues raised in this book as causes and effects of poverty will be important sources of contemplation and action by national and international development actors. 68 pp. Englisch.…
