Neuware -Where are the women of India poised in their country¿s economy Are they a part of its economic engine and prepared to reap its windfall Pundits call India: ¿the second largest emerging economy in the world,¿ claiming that greater contribution from women, would boost the GDP by $700 billion! Current statistics though are a cause for concern with low female labour participation rates (FLFPR) impacting other indices, though mis measurements remain a problem. This places an even greater urgency to unravel a complex issue with sensitivity and insight, the philosophy that drives this book. We examine here the low LFPR from intersecting angles, contending that women¿s working lives mirror their larger environment, which is impacted by socio-cultural realities. Some of these have a resonance with global issues, while some remain peculiarly local. This book suggests creative solutions and strategies that would enable women to enter the labour market, not as marginal players but proud makers of their own destiny. This book is a must-read for employers, workers, social scientists, economists, feminists and policy makers, who understand the link between economics and empowerment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -For the thirty-nine million people, who live in Sudan, environmental pollution is a major concern; therefore industry, communities, local authorities and central government, to deal with pollution issues, should adopt an integrated approach. Most polluters pay little or no attention to the control and proper management of polluting effluents. This may be due to a lack of enforceable legislation and/or the fear of spending money on the treatment of their effluent prior to discharge. Furthermore, the imposed fines are generally low and therefore do not deter potential offenders.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Our critical examination of philosophical models, notably that of the Rennaissance period is an attempt to highlight their impacts on our place in Nature. Instead of perceiving it as an exterior entity of its own, where Man discerns himself as dominant in an ascending aspect. The alternative is to evolve as being an inner part of it, thus assuming a more responsible role in exploiting natural resources. Our Nature's surrounding is to be considered as a space of achievements and accomplishments in a more holistic and harmoniuos vision. Some beliefs and modern phioslophies ascertain that nature's entities, starting from a micro level to macro scale, are to be altered and modified in humanwize perfectionnism. Such reflections are affiliated to patterns of logics and perceptions, despite their influence, are subject of sceptiscim and eminintly questionnable. In our discourse, the emphasis are focused on their anlaysis, and to propose different debates and choices towards equiblibrate models of philosophies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Comparison among lecturers has shown a number of challenges among lecturers in public universities, notable among which are industrial actions, delay in marking of examination scripts and submission of grades among others. Several studies have been carried out to explain the issue without a remarkable improvement. Job satisfaction among employees is a precondition for dedication to duty and goal attainment. The study investigates the degree to which salary factor, promotion opportunity and sense of belonging relate with job satisfaction among lecturers in public universities in Ogun state. Simple random sampling technique was used to gather data from 270 lecturers in three selected universities in Ogun state. The three predictors accounted for 16% of the variance in lecturers job satisfaction. It was concluded that the three predictors relate both individually and collectively to job satisfaction among lecturers in such a way that when these factors are given proper attention by policy makers and university management, job satisfaction among lecturers will upswing. This analysis should be useful to policy makers, university management and prospective researchers of similar studies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Literature is a part of beauty which proves a person¿s expression into a universal sign. Stylistics is the application of theoretical ideas and analytical techniques drawn from linguistics and socio-linguistics to the study of literary text. The study of style can be referred as a figurative language, use of dialects, grammatical choices as an indicator of style, meter, and rhyme. It can be further described as the study of literature as a mode of communication. The modern literary stylistics draws upon the area and adds to it the interpretive goals of modern literary criticism. In both cases, the use of linguistic methodology has allowed stylistics to move beyond earlier normative and prescriptive descriptions of correct styles to fuller analysis of language itself and the purposes to which the language is put. The aim of the book is not only to describe the formal features of texts for the own sake, but in order to show the functional significance for the interpretation of the text. This book discusses the fiction of Bapsi Sidhwa. It deals about the use of poetical terms in the novels, lexical analysis, and structure of the novel, cohesion and coherence in the novels.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Grain filling determines the grain weight, a major component of grain yield in cereals. Grain filling in wheat depends on current assimilation and culm reserves and Water soluble carbohydrates (WSCs) are the main stem reserves. While photosynthesis inhibited by stresses like drought, high temperature etc., grain filling becomes more dependent on mobilized WSCs, and thereby WSCs act as buffers to have a fast rate of grain filling under the post-anthesis stresses by accelerating the remobilization of culm WSCs to grains. This amount of culm reserves is estimated by monitoring the difference in culm dry weight or by measuring culm WSC content during grain-filling period. In Bangladesh, there are several wheat varieties available but the yield performance based on grain filling and culm reserves remobilization hasn't studied yet. Besides wheat, lentil is a vital crop which act as a major protein source to human diet. This study helps to identify the best genotypes of wheat based on grain filling and stem reserves accumulation and distribution along with lentil cultivars/lines following their yield performance in Bangladesh.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.
