Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In 2004 the EU finalised the biggest enlargement round in its history allowing ten new countries to accede at the same time. As it nearly doubled the number of member states at once the enlargement round was heavily debated and politicians expressed fears that it would cause European society to alter dramatically. Since the 2004 enlargement almost exclusively comprised Central and Eastern European countries, people in Western Europe predicted a flood of workers from these countries as a result of the open borders. Still, the extent of labour migration from the eight Central and Eastern European countries, or A8 countries, proved hard to predict while the feared negative impact on the employment rates of natives had yet to be proved. This study has therefore looked at the migration from the A8 countries (Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia) to the Netherlands and the United Kingdom that occurred between May 2004 and May 2011 and the effects it has had on the Dutch and British labour markets.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Cooperative constitutionalism is the watchword in the 21st. century, and the creation of a judicial network is an important tool to improve human rights protection. This book intends to contribute in that field, reporting the constitutional framework and the main decisions held by the Brazilian and the Colombian Constitutional Courts in protecting housing rights. The comparison is justified by the historical proximity in the juridical transition in both countries ¿ 1988 in Brazil and 1991 in Colombia ¿; and by the clear inspiration that Colombia took in the Brazilian Constitution at the time of their Constituent Assembly. As the narrative may show, formal constitutional clauses were not the key element to assure some level of efficacy to the housing right; Colombian results seems to be more solid and based in normative parameters, even though the literal text of the constitution does not provide housing rights with immediate efficacy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Before you apply the process of dehydrating agents, to explore the laws of Corona discharge. Corona discharge, as the initial stage of studying the impact of the powerful electric field at the electron-ion process has been researched. Known that the properties of electrical discharge in the air affect these processes. Based on data of the electron-ion process on the substances, propose the scientific hypothesis, which may explain the mechanism of accelerating the process of dehydration. Meaning of hypothesis is as follows - intensification of dehydrating substances when using weak electrical impulses occurs due to the emergence of Electro kinetic processes (electro-osmosis, electrophoresis and electrolysis). As well as stochastic resonance at certain frequencies, the so-called 'white noise'. We developed the device, which provided an opportunity to detect previously unknown phenomenon ¿ the induction of unipolar electrical impulses by substance during of phase transitions 1 kindBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Since the founding of this country, African music continues to influence world music study in America. This study focuses on musical traditions from Uganda. An examination of instruments, rhythms, and performance traditions and the contributions Uganda makes to world music education is the goal of this study. Embracing the opportunity to learn directly from a musician immersed in the culture is the best approach to realize the nuances that express music of the Ugandan people. Best practices of teaching provide a solid foundation and success with all students in understanding the fundamentals of rhythm and drumming techniques from Uganda. As a result of mentorship, best practices also provide interdisciplinary approaches to teaching world music in the classroom. Continued assessment beyond the walls of the American classroom promotes, embraces and celebrates our multi-cultural world.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Saudi Arabia is usually identified around the world as a religiously conservative country in which religion plays a pivotal role in women's day to day existence. With the increasing Western interest in the rights of Saudi women, many contemporary Western novels erroneously attribute the plight of Saudi women to Islamic teachings. The book focuses on the investigation of this Western assumption in two American contemporary novels¿Jo Franklin¿s The Wing of the Falcon (1995) and John Briley¿s The First Stone (1997), as representatives of the Western public opinion. The study aims to prove that the plight of Saudi women presented in the novels is a problem related to local cultural traditions and not to Islamic teachings. The study uses the postcolonial feminist approach that denounces the Western feminist history of universalizing women¿s issues regardless of the women¿s different backgrounds. Postcolonial feminist criticism tends to analyze Western texts written about Third World women and link the texts to their proper ethnic, cultural and religious contexts.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Today the expression ¿ivory tower¿ has a merely negative meaning and more than once, philosophers have been told to live into their ivory tower, withdrawn from real life. As a response philosophy should be relieved from its metaphysical history and focus on the acknowledgement of skills or tools for democratic adultery. Philosophy then is a practice of discovering the diversity and relativity of things in life. Even in philosophy itself there is the tendency to throw the ¿whole lot¿ overboard and no longer spend energy on the ¿pain of being¿. This essay circles around this tendency. Can the desire for wisdom or truth indeed be reduced to the art of living, and are a number of questions that have indeed kindled philosophy definitively closed Have we closed the books on the problem of truth, and is the philosophy that is still occupied with it indeed an ivory-tower affair Against the overtly hung for transparency of thought, we analyze the ambivalent biblical background of the use of ¿ivory tower¿ in our culture, and get along with this line of thought to question the status of philosophy today.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Communication gaps can be devastating for any business in today's competitive and fast paced environment. In the hospital setting, it can literally be a matter of life or death. The purpose of the project was to develop and evaluate the effect of three evidence-based internal communication practices on employee engagement for pediatric hospital in Louisville, KY. This was the first known systematic investigation of communication strategies in a hospital setting. The evidence based practices include: Interactive Employee Forums, Wednesday Weekly newsletter and a Communication Portal page. After one year of this practice change, the following questions were asked and evaluated: Will internal communication practices have a significant impact on this hospital employee engagement As compared to peer institutions within this multi-hospital organization, will this pediatric hospital have a greater increase in mean engagement scores, as a result of these practices The result were not statistically significant, however some ceiling effect was observed. The pediatric hospital did increase percentage of engaged by 3%, the highest improvement of all five hospitals within the system.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The purpose of this book is to discuss, contrast and evaluate from a comparative and transnational perspective the anti-self-money-laundering legislative approaches in three different jurisdictions: the United States of America (USA), the United Kingdom (UK), and Italy. The analysis puts forward that even if the criminalisation of self¿laundering in Italy could be beneficial to better protect certain paramount economic areas (such as the financial services industry), the indiscriminate approach held in the US cannot be upheld in point of fairness and reasonableness. In fact, that approach may subvert basic criminal and constitutional guarantees and disrupt any systematic attempt to unveil the protected interests beyond the laundering offences. In other words, a balance needs to be sought in the criminalisation process to guarantee a deeper protection to the legitimate economy without posing a heavier criminal burden on inoffensive post¿crime conducts. The UK approach to self¿laundering could be a perfect example in these regards, if the case for a legal transplant has to be maintained.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Japan is deficient of domestic fossil fuel energy sources and developed energy structures that depend primarily on imported fuels and nuclear power. The country¿s energy fuel mix has been required to shift after the country experienced a catastrophic nuclear accident at the Fukushima Power Plant in 2011, which induced all of the country¿s nuclear power plants to shut down. To fill some of the gap left by the lost power, Japan boosted its renewable energy capacity with the launch of a feed-in-tariff (FIT) scheme in July 2012. It has been shown a success, especially in the solar PV sector; however, dark clouds still hang over Japan¿s renewable energy industry due to the lack of appropriate policy regime that protects and enhances renewable energy development within Japan¿s conventional power market. This book investigates renewable energy policies and renewable energy market in Japan, identifies the country¿s advantages and barriers for renewable energy promotion through applying a SWOT analysis, and creates recommendations that provide direction that will be most effective.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The role of Western media while constructing news about Islam and the Muslim world, has been a topic of interest for the media scholars, particularly, from last decade i-e after the 9/11 incident. Various new perspectives have come forward indicating role of Western media in the portrayal of Islam. This study has investigated the role of Western print media in portraying picture of Islam. This is a discourse analysis based research, the researcher has tried to explore the hidden policy of the Western media when it reports about Islam and Muslim world. Although many in depth studies have been done so far but this particular research is focused on how the image of Islam has been created and is being shaped. It also explored the use of 'naming choice' and 'lexical choices' while reporting about Islam and Muslim world. This book would be great topic of interest to the scholars who are interested to look into these new terms like Islamophobia and the phenomena involved to spread it. Researchers and students of Mass media and International relations would find it helpful to see the role of media in recent years to create global image of Islam and Muslim world.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Technological innovations have reduced the world to a global community. This has also improved and therefore increased potentials for the movement of individuals, commodities, and capitals across international borders as they respond to global political and socio-economic stimuli. Transnational borders are relatively more open to capital and commodities than they are to migrant individuals. However, there are vast literature and data on the socio-political and economic dimensions of adults¿ involvement in international migration. The youth are treated as part of their families; hence very few literature devoted to youth migration exist. But movement of young adults as independent transnational migrants is an emerging trend in international migration. This paper advances the understanding of youth migration from anti-colonial indigenous knowledge perspective in order to disrupt and disturb existing approaches and give a more pellucid lens for understanding this emerging social trend. Significant attempt was made to highlight the often overlooked outcome of transnational border securitization which, to the sending and receiving nations, has both positive and negative reflexes.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Born in the United States, Hip-Hop as a language and social milieu presented itself as a voice from and to the street, at a time where the street needed a critical voice. As a construct of five elements- Emceeing, DJing, B-Boying, Graffiti and Knowledge; Hip-Hop provided the movement with a narrative that was both critical of itself as well as critical of the legal liberal method it employed. Concentrating on the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s to date; the aim of this book is to highlight places outside traditional International Legal Discourse that use a different language and create a different milieu for resistance. In an effort to assert that the ultimate lesson of Hip-Hop for liberal legality is that, just in the same way art on its own will not bring justice; human rights or law and order might not either.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Oil Pollution is the most international of subjects in Maritime Law. The international liability- compensation (CLC-FUND) regime for oil pollution is a robust one, which was a result of a collective effort by States after the Torrey Canyon disaster. Oil Spills from vessels are the most common environmental polluters which may be caused due to persistent or non persistent oil. This study is a detailed understanding of the CLC-FUND regime along with special evaluation of the inadequacy of the Indian Maritime Shipping Act 1958 to cope with such spills. Relevant case studies to review the judicial interpretation of the International Conventions have been discussed. A study on the the U.S. Oil Pollution regime has also been undertaken which runs parallel to the CLC-FUND regime as the U.S. is not party to the convention system. Finally, the hypothesis introduced by the author at the starting of the book has been answered after detailed analysis of the core research issues.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Myocardial ischemia, be it silent or asymptomatic, is defined as an objective documentation of myocardial ischemia, in the absence of angina or its equivalents. Among the subjects who can be asymptomatic coronary heart disease carriers, athletes also come into this category, i.e. individuals who regularly practice and compete in sports events at highly competitive athletic levels. Most of the patients with silent myocardial ischemia due to coronary artery disease are athletes.Silent myocardial ischemia is not the same as silent coronary artery disease. Symptomatic angina is the tip of the ischemic iceberg and in athletes is smaller than non -athletes. Athletes are normally considered individuals in good if not great health, thus when one of them is struck by sudden death, it creates uproar and consternation. However, just as what happens among the population on a whole, athletes can harbour unrecognized cardiac.For this reason the preparticipation screening program of athletes has the goal of of the early identification of previously unsuspected cardiovascular disease in the hope that these strategies will reduce the incidence of sudden cardiac death.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The application of in vitro digestion assays as a surrogate for human ingestion studies is important when assessing potential risk of contaminants to humans. The assays simulate the release of contaminants from sample matrices (soil) in three-step procedure (mouth, stomach, small intestine). In this study, oral bioaccessibility of copper (Cu) was investigated using four laboratory spiked soils and one historically contaminated soil. Bioaccessibility correlated with the soil texture while soil pH has a lesser effect. Bioaccessibility in freshly amended soils was proportionally similar to that for historically contaminated soils; a finding that is different from that reported by other authors. Furthermore, assays using fasted scenarios yielded different results from fed assays. Measurements of metal assimilation through direct ingestion represent an important pathway for exposure and their relative empirical value enables an insight into the value of modelled data.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

One effort to improve the welfare of farmers is to provide added value on fresh produce that result. The added value that should be pursued is through processing business. In accordance with the conditions of people in developing countries, the developed processing industry should be small. Because the formation of clusters of small-scale food industry is the right choice. Various development programs should be directed to the development of small-scale food industry cluster.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Reactive Power Planning is one of the most intricate power systems optimization problems. It is defined as the optimal location of reactive power compensation devices as well as determining their types and sizes while minimizing the investment and power losses costs and maintaining an adequate voltage profile. This book presents an application of the Differential Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm for solving the Reactive Power Planning problem with wind power penetration. Fixed and switched capacitor banks, TCR, SVC and STATCOM are installed and sized to minimize the investment and power losses costs and the voltage deviations from the nominal value. Initially, four different deterministic scenarios are tested and the results demonstrate that planning the purchase and installation of new devices in the network based solely on this kind of scenarios is not reliable. Then, two different values of voltage deviation validate the probabilistic model and offer insight on its behaviour. Finally, it is presented a trade-off analysis between the maximum allowed voltage deviation and the power losses.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in most developed countries. Atherosclerosis, a blockage of the arteries, is the result combination of abnormalities lipoprotein metabolism, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation and the possibility for the occurrence of thrombosis. This whole process will play a role in the onset of cardiovascular disease. Most deaths from cardiovascular disease can be prevented through lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and stop smoking. Initial event in atherosclerosis is change low density lipoprotein (LDL) into oxidized low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL). Activity of oxidized LDL mediated by different receptors called scavenger receptor (SR), such as lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX- 1). There are 7 polymorphisms that have been identified in the LOX-1 gene. One is 3'UTR188C/T. Decrease input saturated fat; cholesterol and increased input of cholesterol-lowering foods such as nuts should be given priority as prevention for cardiovascular disease. Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L) are a type of legume. Dry beans have also been shown to improve serum lipid profile in patients with coronary heart disease.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Kinetic energy is a non-zero positive value in many cases of bound states, when a wave function is a real-valued one and there are no visible motion and flux. This can be understood, using expansion of the wave function into Fourier integral, that is, on the basis of virtual plane waves. This explanation was proposed by the author in 1963 when the author had been studying Quantum Mechanics. Self-action in a system of elementary particles, charged with elementary charges, is discussed in detail. This self-action is not taken in account in Quantum Mechanics, because otherwise experimental data (including data on atomic spectra) could not be theoretically explained. In Quantum Mechanics sometimes there is an electrostatic field without any electrostatic energy stored in it, and electrostatic negative energy with no charge and no electrostatic field, like in a positronium. Criteria for low-dimensional quantum movements are derived, quantum and classical rotations of modern objects are regarded. Simplified theory of polarons and bipolarins is proposed, and simple explanation of coexistence of zero angular momentum and non-zero magnetic moment in many-electron system is discussed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Determining the individual characteristic of centrifugal pumps transporting solid liquid mixtures is of great importance in technological processes of pipeline transportation of various products such as iron ore, phosphate and coal. The selection of pumps for any transportation system depends mainly on previous experiments and/or or the execution of the pump with clear water. Several researchers have demonstrated that the operating system of centrifugal pumps depend on the behavior of the mixture that is Newtonian or other.The theological properties are used to determine the selection of pumps to optimize the pressure drop i.e. the energy loss in the transportation; it is the transportation of solid liquid mixtures with a well defined concentration.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Botanical crops plants like pyrethrum, neem, tithonia, crotoralia, Mexican marigold are important source of organic insecticides. Their promotion would have enormous impact on a farmer¿s ability to manage soil resource and pests as they are promising alternative to synthetics towards organic crop. The utilization of botanical plant especially by the poorest farmers, is constrained by inadequate product evaluation and development which, if improved, will increase the reliable options available to farmers. Exploitation and optimal use of botanical plants can be enhanced through development and dissemination of knowledge and capacity building for research and initiation of innovations geared towards their sustainable development and use in organic crop production. Pyrethrum is the only botanical crop which has well commercialized and organized production system. This handbook will impact greatly on production and utilization of pyrethrum. In my current teaching, training and research career there is a lot of emphasis on organic crop production and therefore this handbook will be resourceful to farmers, students, researchers and stakeholders in agriculture development.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -My first group of reflections is about the way in which mind-body problem is placed within the ¿neurosciences¿. A second set of reflections is about mind-body problem. I support ¿ontological monism¿. The third set concerns the distinction between possession and use of mental functions. These conceptual preliminaries help us to understand and explain better, on my view, the discovery of mirror neurons (MNs). One of the best books in reporting experiments and implications arising from this discovery is Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia (2006). The central argument of the book is that «the brain that acts is also and above all a brain that understands» (Ib., p.3). MNs are in these last years the focus of a inter-disciplinary debate about the correct interpretation of the many experiments on MNs between many scientists and philosophers. I take into consideration some of their theories. MNs activity, on my view, is more closely related to understanding goal-directed behavior than intentional actions. Although MNs activity may in fact be a mechanism we use to understand goal-directed behavior, it is certainly not logically necessary and sufficient for understanding goal-directed behavior.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Terrace Row Housing Estate is the major typology of housing in urban Malaysia. The model is heavily car prioritized with little or no concern about pedestrian activity. Though tropical climate can be blamed for people's lack of interest in pedestrian activity, it is already a proven phenomenon that pedestrian activity is not only good for health, but it can also generate community bonding, that eventually can contribute to security inside neighborhoods as well. In current model of terrace row housing estates, backlanes remain as essential part. However, as backlane is losing its historical significance, the underused backlanes in thousands of older terrace houses can give a negative image of the estates. This study proposed retrofitting backlanes into pedestrian zones and used the results of a survey on residents to develop some ideological concepts on it. However, it also went one step beyond to suggest connecting all the backlanes in a particular neighborhoods in order to create a traffic free pedestrian zone. That not only can create a lively environment for children and elderlies, but also can improve the image of these neighborhoods and increase its property market values.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.
