Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Interest in subjective well-being has led to a plethora of literature in recent years but there remains some debate about what precisely is meant by the term, and how it differs from a broader notion of well-being. This book examines these debates, alongside the methodological question of h…ow one might attempt to empirically measure such concepts. In doing so, it takes us to Ukraine and roots these questions within the specific experience of transition which, research suggests, has not made people happier. Using new empirical evidence, it explores how our well-being is shaped by our relationships and shows how it differs from the specific notion of happiness, ultimately suggesting why it has been somewhat lacking in contemporary Ukraine. 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The incidence of chronic pain is common among older people and often disabling. The experience of chronic pain is complex, highly individual and the manner in which it is expressed is varied. Styles adapting to chronic pain conditions are diverse, ranging from positive adjustment ('coping')… to less functional adaptations, with the latter being referred to as 'stoicism' and 'catastrophising'. This research was undertaken to investigate how the experience of chronic pain is constructed by older people who are coping and by nurses working with older people. The implications for nursing practice were pivotal to the project. Interviews and questionnaires were conducted to identify, through content and thematic analysis, the constructs used. Older people also completed questionnaires that presented a range of assessment tools, which were trialed and commented on. Nurses'' attitudes towards older people experiencing pain were also surveyed.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Educational systems of developing countries ought to be evaluated using appropriate analytical and methodological criteria, determined within a local context. This study attempts to challenge the dominant paradigm that links education to 'Western' ideas of development. In doing so it analy…zes the relationship between endogenous development and indigenous models of schooling. It attempts a comparative case-study analysis of two indigenous models of schooling in former colonies: Fe y Alegría of Venezuela and Servol of Trinidad and Tobago. These models are studied because they reflect local, cultural, social, and economic conditions. Attention is paid to community involvement, indigenous ideas about curriculum and programming, the link between education and work, and the link between local epistemologies and education outcomes. The study involves qualitative methods of analysis with particular emphasis on ethnographic methods. Documentary analysis is used to complement field research and participatory observation.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this study, investor decision theory was used as the basis for a survey that demonstrates the barriers faced by those promoting microfinance institutions and public capital markets as the mechanism for implementing grassroots de…velopment theory. Grassroots development theory promotes entrepreneurship across the base of a developing country s population by encouraging capital infusion at the local instead of national or industry level and promoting local ownership and local capital building. A common method for implementing grassroots theory in developing countries is through microfinance institutions. Investor decision theory, supported by the data from this study, raises concerns over the validity of grassroots development theory as a valid tool for economic growth in developing countries. While individual MFIs have encouraging performance, the aggregate of MFI loans globally are too small to measurably impact developing nations economies. Thus, for grassroots development theories to be implemented successfully, there needs to be an expansion of MFIs capitalization structure. Publicly traded mutual funds offer a method to access this capital. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Defining Women in American and Indian Prime Time is an in depth analysis of viewer's perceptions of the roles played by women on prime time, in two different cultural settings. The research is directed towards respondents with two…different media and cultural experiences. The first are interviewees who are simply familiar with American prime time and the second are those who are acquainted with both the American and the Indian content. The research questions address specifics of representations associated with the American and the Indian media: the roles women play on prime time, whether the viewers can associate with the characters, possible difference between prime time representations and reality as well as possible overlaps between ways of reading media's constructions of femininity in these culturally different stage sets. Analysis of the findings in the study acknowledge more of analogous ways of deriving meaning out of gender reproductions on prime time in comparison to distinct perceptions of reading gender images in the American and Indian media. 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Administrative Civil Assessments under the Environmental Management Act, 2000 potentially represent a significant tool for implementing the Polluter Pays principle in Trinidad and Tobago by making polluters liable to pay compensati…on for environmental degradation. An issue however arises as to whether the measure of compensation under the Act is the loss in Total Economic Value of the affected environmental asset or is instead the cost of remediation or replacing the asset. This book approaches this issue by a comparative analysis between the relevant provisions of the Act and the provisions of legislation in other jurisdictions including the United States and the United Kingdom. The legislative provisions were analysed in the context of contemporary literature on environmental economics methodologies and taking into account the experience of various courts in applying similar legislation. The paper concludes that diminution of Total Economic Value is the correct measure of compensation under the EM Act, 2000 but identifies several weaknesses and gaps in the legislative regime that should be addressed by amendment and the development of appropriate policies. 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Export diversification is very essential for transition countries. External economy of Ukraine is an issue of high interest of economists because Ukraine takes one of the first places in the world regarding the rate of ration of fo…reign-trade to GNP. The reasons for diversification of Ukrainian trade are quite clear. Ukraine will be less sensitive to the shocks on the world markets of products in case of more diversified trade. So export diversification decreases the risks from the unstable demand of the trade partners. This paper uses the recent developments in the international trade theory that considers the fact that some firms export, some do not to investigate the pattern of export diversification. Using a gravity model the highly disaggregated trade data in the period from 2001 to 2007 was analyzed. It was found that intensive margin is the most important share of the trade growth. As for extensive margin we can conclude that geographical extensive margin is more important than product extensive for the growth of export. Signing free trade agreement increases the probability to diversify. 48 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -During the past six years the sun-sea-sand tourism in Bulgaria has experienced an average annual growth of 15.3%, thus generating some 75% of the national tourism receipts. Both an outcome and a propelling factor, the available acc…ommodation in the major seaside resorts has boosted by 20-25% on a year-to-year basis, thus surpassing the demand level increase by some 10-12%. In the meantime, symptoms for loss of overall destination competitiveness as regards current tendencies in the global tourism industry have been identified, thus revealing critical deficiencies in the existing planning and management models of the major Bulgarian coastal destinations. The study reflects the multidimensional analysis approach endorsed by authors such as Moutinho (2000), Toledo et el. (2000) and Crouch and Ritchie (2003), so providing a profound look into the multiple factors determining the destination s degree of competitiveness. As a consequence, the applied methodology allowed for an exhaustive analysis of the dynamics of the destination s current development, amplifying in this way the span of the study beyond tourism-specific aspects. 96 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -From covering rape trials and reporting on house fires to writing about student death and working 40 hours a week sometimes for no pay, there s more behind what you see in college student newspapers. Across the country, tens of tho…usands of college students balance classes, their personal lives and the hours they spend each day at the student newspaper, sometimes not realizing the cost to themselves. In this work, Gutsche, a journalist and educator, attempts to address those interested in the development and experiences of college student journalists, the students themselves, and those who work with student reporters. Through the stories of ten college student journalists who work on independent college student newspapers, Gutsche reveals potential questions for future research surrounding this population. By voicing their struggles with identity formation, balancing career and academic planning, these journalists help uncover potential needs and challenges of these students on our college campuses. 116 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Fifteen years after the demise of the Soviet Union the Central Asian republics found themselves in similar authoritarian conditions. However the so-called Tulip revolution sets Kyrgyzstan apart from the dominant patterns in the reg…ion. The role of informal politics has become one of the most attractive explanations of the political situation in the country. It is argued by many scholars that the ruling clan of the president Akaev could not stay in power for a long because it did not have enough resources to buy elite s support. Comparing the cases of the Kyrgyz Republic and Kazakhstan the research finds that role of resources does not play the assumed crucial role for the ruling elites to stay in power. The ability of the ruling clan to negotiate clan pacts and keep them stable, balancing and respecting other pact members, is the main explanatory factor contributing to regime durability in the cases researched. 60 pp. Englisch.

Because of the recent economic downturn, this population is poised for retirement on wh…at are now diminished savings. For this and other reasons, an ever- increasing proportion is looking abroad for lower costs of real estate.

In spite of the policy, the existence of other religions are still practiced. One of these unrecogn…ized religions is called the kebatinan. Shortly after independence the country has experienced the rise of the kebatinan movement, a phenomenon of re-emergence of local beliefs. This was a new religio-political phenomenon for the newborn country of Indonesia. The purpose of this book is to describe the religious movement of one of the kebatinan groups among the people in West Java, called the PACKU (Paguyuban Adat Cara Karuhun Urang) as the continuation of ADS (Agama Djawa Sunda) belief group. The values of the ADS continue to exist within a complexity of Indonesian National Religions and local animistic beliefs. Special attention will be given to how ADS ideology has been and continues to be religiously negotiated within organizations like the PACKU. This book explores the ways in which religion plays a significant role in resisting the loss of self and communal identity, by focusing on the religious leaders and their negotiations of the ADS ideology. 116 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The emerging digital economy within the United States has produced an economic expansion far exceeding the expectations of many. Information technology is largely viewed as a component to the success of the New Economy. New technol…ogy facilitates change creating new challenges for society. In particular, the Internet has changed many elements within society such as health care. Many Web sites provide medical advice and information to anyone that has access to the Internet. This availability of information has made it conceivable for health care consumers to be better informed without having to visit a physician in person. Both the patient and the physician using the Internet may retrieve the same health care information. Current research has not adequately assessed the impact of the Internet on the patient-physician relationship. Health care professionals as well as social scientists do not clearly comprehend what role the Internet may have on the patient-physician relationship. Little is known about the way in which the role of the clinician is changing in response to the Internet and the changing roles of patients. 116 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The frequency assignment problem involves the assignment of discrete channels to the transmitters of a radio network. Frequency separation is necessary to avoid interference by other transmitters to the signal received from the wan…ted transmitter at the reception points. Unnecessary separation causes an excess requirement for spectrum. Good assignments minimise interference and the spectrum required. Some different variations of the problem are reviewed in this book. We mainly consider the 'Fixed Spectrum Problem', where there is a fixed available spectrum of frequencies and the aim is to minimise interference. For this problem we analise the 'Binary Constraints Model', where only interference from a single transmitter at a time is considered, and the more realistic 'Multiple Interference Model', where interferences from more than one transmitter are considered at the same moment. In particular, we analyse some Integer Programming formulation for the binary constraints model to understand whether they can be suitable for developing lower bounds. Some new algorithms for the multiple interference model are finally discussed. 96 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -LDPC Codes are considered to be serious competitors to turbo codes in terms of performance and complexity. They are specified by a sparse parity check matrix containing mostly 0s and relatively few 1s. In this book, LDPC codes used… in the IEEE 802.16 standard physical layer were studied. Two novel techniques to enhance the performance of such codes are introduced. In the first technique, a novel parity check matrix for LDPC codes over GF(4) is proposed based on the binary parity check matrix used in the IEEE 802.16 standard . The proposed code has proven to outperform the binary code used in the IEEE 802.16 standard over both AWGN and SUI-3 channel model. In the second technique, high rate LDPC code is used, in a concatenated coding structure, as an outer code, with a convolutional code as an inner code. The performance of such a concatenated codes is compared with the commonly used one utilizing Reed-Solomon codes over the standard SUI-3 channel model, and show better performance. 88 pp. Englisch.

The city has a wealth of natural resources and a culture of dedication to the environment that made it ideal for a comparison of the presence of nature in play spa…ces. Over two weeks in October, three play spaces including the Auerberg neighborhood playground with minimal nature, the Hofgarten urban playground with some nature, and the Naturpark Rheinland trailhead with complete nature immersion were carefully documented. The case studies rely on graphics and photographs as well as quantitative data modeled after post occupancy evaluations by Clare Cooper Marcus and Carolyn Francis. A comparison of the three case studies suggests that topography may have a greater influence on natural play than the presence of tree canopy. 80 pp. Englisch.
