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.

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.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This paper tests for differences between Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) estimates from a euro-investor perspective. Using a copula approach compared to normality assumptions for the BRIC stock markets, using data between January 2007 and December 2010. VaR and ES are estimated using standard normality assumptions and with the use of copulas in which first the markets marginal distributions are estimated, after which the right copula for the indicated dependence between markets is determined based on maximum likelihood and Kendall s tau estimates. Employing Monte Carlo simulation, this research finds that daily VaR estimates can be as much as 1.73% higher for those based on copulas. This effect is mainly caused by the presence of tail dependence in the markets under research. Similarly, ES estimates differ up to 4.19%. This research therefore indicates that risk measures based on normality assumptions severely underestimate risk in these markets due to their inability to take tail dependence into account. 64 pp. Englisch.

There are many issues to be overcome by those who are disabled in order to be successful in firstly being motivated enough to put themselves forward for employment, then to actually obtain employment, and finally to perform the job with distinction. These issues include societal ones and how disabled people are perceived, also physical and psychological issues with respect to how the disabled person lives and copes with their disability. Upon research, it is apparent that one in ten Irish people carry some form of disability; and these people are two and a half times more likely to be in unemployment. It is also apparent that there is still some way to go before there are universally equal opportunities for those who are disabled and able to work, and those who are not disabled. The overall findings showed some very interesting content. A major obstacle to disabled people is that of how they are perceived. In light of this the author feels that by making the general public more educated to people with disabilities, then disabled people can in turn live relatively normal, productive lives. 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This is a research about how the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) contributed to the production of social capital among miners and their families in Harlan County, Kentucky. Currently, many quantitative studies have documented the positive correlation between social capital and a range of economic and cultural outcomes; few emphasize the assessment of whether and how social capital can be intentionally generated. Additionally, among the studies of solidarity, few of them connect it with the notion of social capital. In order to fill these lacunas, I make in-depth analysis of interviews conducted by Alessandro Portelli with aged miners in Harlan County. Through coding and interpreting narratives, I intend to explore how the UMWA produced and extended social capital among coalfield residents. The findings not only contribute to the exploration of the theoretical connection between social capital and solidarity, but also are significant to current organizers for initiating collective actions, consolidating shared identities, and protecting public benefits. 112 pp. Englisch.

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. It reveals that the poverty of the community observed is caused by multiple factors.

International development agencies and communities who are the core source of development capital in many developing countries like Tanzania tend to be keener in funding tourism projects that are directly beneficial to the international tourists because they do not consider domestic tourism in developing countries as being viable. 104 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The positive effects of FDIs in the hosting country include not only higher access to foreign capital and funds, but also the benefits of exchanging skills, information and expertise. Higher FDIs are associated, among other things, with increased employment and improved productivity levels in the hosting country. Therefore, similarly to many others, the Balkan countries have designed and implemented incentive schemes to stimulate inflows of FDI. Yet, in order to avoid implementing expensive and potentially harmful incentive schemes, it is important for policy makers in hosting economies to improve knowledge about the determinants of the FDI inflows. This study analyses the determinants of FDI in transition economies, with particular reference to Balkans countries. Special attention is paid to the role of institutions in making these countries attractive destinations for FDI. The choice of an empirical dynamic model of FDI flows is supported and the conclusion that economic reform and institutional reform are complementary factors in improving FDI inflow in transition economies and the Balkans is derived. This study might be of interest to investors as well as policy makers. 64 pp. Englisch.

More specifically, the present research investigates the influence of public social advertising on the motivation of individuals to donate blood. It also discusses the effects and persuasive power of several communication approaches, employed by advertisers. The study is based on original qualitative empirical research, involving content analysis of several international blood donation campaigns and a quasi-experiment with an international audience. The value of this book resides in its social importance - a better understanding of the motivations that drive people to donate blood, or stop them from engaging in this behavior. It is a map for communication professionals and students in an area yet uncharted by academic research, as well as a contribution to solving this perpetually current social issue. 88 pp. Englisch.
