Neuware -There are reports of food borne illnesses associated with the consumption of fruit juices and a lot of food borne illnesses have been reported at several places all over the world. Pakistan is one of the culprits of this issue. Present study was undertaken for detection of the possible sources of E.coli O157:H7 in street vended fresh fruit juices sold along the road sides of Lahore city, Pakistan which maintain unhygienic conditions and assessed its safety for human consumption.162 fresh juice samples of sugar cane, plum, tamarind, peach, lemonade and slush that were taken from different areas of Lahore and analyzed for the presence of E.coli O157:H7. It is suggested that unpasteurized fruit juices and contaminated water used in juice making is the potential vehicle for E.coli O157:H7 transmission.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -These days, as corporations are seeking global opportunities, how to motivate employees from different cultures, who have different values, needs, and norms, is becoming increasingly important. This study first dealt with the relationship between national culture and the prevalence of various reward practices. Secondly, this study examined the link between reward practices and organizational performance in different national cultures. In analyzing, this study picked up seven countries and used Hofstede¿s four cultural dimension scores to examine the prevalence of reward practices. Also, to examine the effects of national culture on reward practices and organizational performance, multiple regression analysis was conducted. The findings of this study suggest that although national culture can play an important role in some reward practices, it is not the only factor to be considered in establishing compensation strategies abroad. That is, not only national culture but also other contextual factors, such as institutional factors, should also be considered as moderating variables when HRM managers build compensation strategies.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This manuscript is a MSc. Dissertation which highlights the implications of deforestation to the livelihoods of local communities in Kasulu District, Tanzania. It presents spatial and temporal forest cover changes, underlying and immediate causes of deforestation, and impacts of deforestation to socio-economic activities; and evaluate forest conservation measures. Field surveys were conducted using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Remote sensing and GIS analysis show that Kasulu district has been facing deforestation since 1980s; and there was no uniform forest cover from 1986 to 2009 in the study area. Deforestation has been largely attributed to rapid population growth including large influxes of refugees, and poor implementation of forest conservation and management strategies, agricultural expansion, and poverty. As a result, deforestation has been undermining economic, social and natural resources base. This study recommended awareness creation,promoting aforestation, reforestation and agro-forestry; participatory forest management strategies, and promoting income generating activities to reduce pressure on forest resources.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Nepal, a country which still teaches its students that Nepal is second richest country in terms of per capita water resources has little to be proud of this fact owing to the continuous scarcity of water faced by its people every day. It is not only pure drinking water that is in shortage but also the water for other uses. Many new alternatives to water supply like Rainwater Harvesting system, Fog water Collection system and water tankers have been discussed as some of the possibilities for the same. These alternatives were compared by calculating the cost of water collected from each alternative considering their life span, investment and payback period from the perspective of the consumer and testing for the E.Coli contamination. The perception of people was positive towards these alternatives yet there was not enough awareness about the alternatives. Rain Water harvesting system was found as the best alternative with easy implementation in almost all parts of the country, zero energy input and cheapest alternative to collect potable water. This book should help researchers and people who wish to gain an insight into existing alternatives for water supply systems in Nepal.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book presents experimental and numerical investigations for the effects of cement and lime treatment on compressibility, permeability, stress-strain, strength and stiffness behaviour of three soft clays. Effects of cement treatment on physiochemical and micro-structural properties have also been investigated. X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, particle size distribution, pH measurement, organic content, electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, exchangeable cation, water content, unit weight, specific gravity, and Atterberg limits tests were conducted to examine physiochemical and micro-structural properties. Compressibility and permeability properties of untreated and, cement and lime treated clays were investigated by performing one-dimensional consolidation tests. Stress-strain, strength and stiffness behaviour of untreated and, cement and lime treated clays were evaluated by performing unconfined compression tests. Consolidated drained direct shear, triaxial compression tests were also carried out to assess the strength-deformation characteristics of treated clays.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work is based on a change in the Danish criminal law whose legal doctrinal implications are quite banal: Prior to the change, only 15-year-olds, were punished - now is also on the 14th.It is a quite deliberate distillation; fiddling dogma away to ascertain the problems surrounding the weighting of the sense of justice in criminal law, without taking the traditional, legal basis - it is quite clear from the responses from the legal institutions that balk at a reduction the age of criminal responsibility. It proves very clearly that the sense of justice in a political context relates to the collective experience of violation: Condemnation of the crime and the offender, the interests of the victim, the victim's family and the aggrieved communities.Crime is of course one of the few phenomena in a pluralistic society that suffers universal antipathy. Flemming Balvig aptly defines the legal feeling as an insatiable 'danaid sieve'. It is therefore imperceptible when a politician or a mass media feeds off of people's emotions in an effort to secure as many votes or viewers. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Despite the recent increase in research by academic, practitioners and the focus from the policy makers, the topics of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Stakeholder Management still remain relatively misunderstood. This book tackles the concepts of CSR and Stakeholder Management from a more encompassing perspective, looking at their effects in both the for-profit and the non-profit sector. From a for-profit perspective, the book begins by examining and empirically testing the insurance properties of CSR in the context of an economy-wide crisis (the 2008 Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy). In the second half of the book, a non-profit perspective is utilized in investigating the effects of Stakeholder Management and its relationship with organizational effectiveness in the case of art museums, which represents a cleaner environment with which to test Stakeholder Theory. Overall, the book provides readers with an indepth review of the current state of the literature as well as discusses new empricial evidence from a two perspective approach that informs companies, investors, as well as policy makers in terms of better understanding CSR and Stakeholder Management. 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The bureaucracy of Bangladesh follows the Weberian model of bureaucracy which is characterized by strict rules and regulation in carrying out the task and involving impersonal decisions in the affairs of the Republic, however, by going through the newspapers highlighted in the newspaper it is seen that the government has been very much reluctant in conforming with rules and regulations especially in issues involving recruitment, promotion & transfer. In the last three years the government has influenced the administrative issues such as promotions and transfers to put the like-minded personnel of the government in favorable positions, so that the interest of the government can be met. By going through the newspapers over the last three years, it can be deducted that the government has failed to meet the expectation of the people and have not been able to manage the civil service in a well-coordinated way, which have resulted in slow economic growth. 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A Conditional Cash Transfer Program (CCT) is a type of social safety net program that originated in Latin America during the early 1990 s. It is unique in that it targets the two major drivers of structural poverty: education and health. CCTs involve a cash transfer to beneficiaries only if they routinely send their children to school and health clinics. The rationale behind this concept is that investing in human capital will not only relieve the short-term symptoms of poverty, but also stop the cycle of inter-generational poverty. The programs successes in Latin America can be broken down into a list of criteria. These criteria are necessary for any CCT and anti-poverty program to be successful. The criteria are then applied to the anti-poverty programs in India to see if a large-scale implementation of CCTs would work in India. The bottom line surrounding the analysis of India s anti-poverty programs using the CCT criteria is that a complicated bureaucracy, corruption, and lack of transparency drives the majority of the inefficiencies seen in India. If corrected for, CCTs can target the major contributors to poverty in India: poor health, lack of education, and social biases. 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Currently, services account for over 50 percent of gross domestic product in many countries and over one quarter of world trade. In a dynamic, global business environment, service industries try to compete by providing high-quality customer service via empowering their workforce. Thus, both industry and academia have shown a growing interest in the concept of employee empowerment. Empowerment has become particularly important for services, aiming to control or enhance service quality and customer satisfaction at the point of service production. Furthermore, empowerment increases job satisfaction and reduces role stress. Correspondingly, this book provides simple, clear and logical elaboration to the topic from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The book explains the relationship between internal service climate and psychological empowerment. Besides to this, it indicates the effect of Internal service climate and psychological empowerment on employees job satisfaction. Therefor, entirely this book might be important for both academicians and practitioners. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The limitations of conventional wastewater treatment technologies demand advanced research methods to tackle complex wastewater treatment. Chemical treatment of wastewaters containing biocidal or nonbiodegradable components is part of a long-term strategy to improve the quality of drinking water resources by eliminating toxic materials of anthropogenic origin before releasing the used water into natural cycles. An improvement in oxidative degradation procedures for organic compounds in aquatic media has been achieved recently in applying catalytic and photochemical methods. Such methods include processes which generated the hydroxyl radical in this category, namely ozone at high pH values, hydrogen peroxide with UV radiation and ozone or hydrogen peroxide with other hydroxyl radical initiators such as metals and metal oxides. Use of UV radiation for wastewater treatment was the initial and remains the most promising large long term market for the technology. 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The recognition of the importance of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) is largely in response to addressing the ever-increasing limited water quality and quantity problems that the world faces. Whereas officially, the United Nations through the Global Water Partnership (GWP) has endorsed IWRM as the best means to water resources management, lessons learnt from implementation to date, suggest the need to highlight the planning process more than the plan itself. The methodological synthesis of the study incorporates ideas from broad theoretical areas covering ecological, economics, community and change management settings to inform the design of what is described as the appreciative systems planning (ASP) methodology used in this book. The major contribution of this book is the design of a framework to overcome the dilemma of facilitating stakeholder involvement in IWRM planning processes. Of particular importance is the explicit focus on the connection between social, economic and environmental dimensions in decision-making that the water resources issues represent. 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Today, nonprofit organizations are of major importance for the society. Their missions contribute to fulfilling societal needs that otherwise would not get enough resources. Marketing for these organizations becomes more important and most nonprofit marketing research has had a theoretical approach. This work therefore investigates market practice, which covers all concrete actions that form a market. Market practice has been studied through a case study of the nonprofit fundraising organization the Swedish Cancer Society (SCS; Swe: Cancerfonden) and findings are analyzed with a theoretical framework developed by Helgesson, Kjellberg and Liljenberg (2004). Results show that the market for SCS is formed by market practices seen at different levels and departments within the organization. In its daily work, SCS enhances economic transactions through developing relations and new channels. It emphasizes its specific features within the nonprofit sector and actively tries to change perception of the industry. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Relationships influence behaviors at work. Expectations of each other, perceptions of the intentions of either, distributions of assignments, readiness to conform or to rebel, enthusiasm to contribute, etc., are to some extent outcomes of these relationships. Attitudes and motivations influence, and are influenced by, the nature of these relationships. Relationships also contribute to stress and conflicts at work, which in turn, affect quality of work life of individuals as well as the quality of organizational outputs, measured in terms of customer satisfaction, competitive advantage, innovation, and so on. We can say that Relations add in achieving organizational goals and objectives, and they can also dismantle different organizational structures.Therefore these Relations should be nourished and nurtured well to achieve the common organizational goal. 80 pp. Englisch.
