Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The purpose of this book is to study the determinants of stock prices of a panel of European banks during the financial crisis. The research is based on the idea that banks' stock prices in a period of market uncertainty and turmoil reflect the dynamics of budget indicators, market and macroeconomic variables, as well as the dynamics outside the core business and systemic variables. This work is divided into two parts: a first part that is essentially theoretical, which aims to address the issue of creating and disseminating economic value in the specificity of financial intermediaries as well as the formation of banks' share prices between expectations and risk; a second part that is essentially empirical, which illustrates the findings of an empirical investigation conducted on a panel of listed European banks aiming to analyse the sensitivity of stock prices of the banks compared to the variations of the budget indicators, as well as external and market variables. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The erasure of the Poor Black Woman in the freedom struggles of Black People, Women, and the Working Class may actually be the reason why true liberation has not be achieved as of yet. Claudia Jones is a pivotal figure in intersectional theory, as she fought for the liberation of all through the means of liberating the Poor Black Woman. In order to showcase her work, there is an examination of the marginalization that comes with each identity through the lens of Marcus Garvey, Monique Wittig, and Karl Marx. This shows the unique position of the Poor Black Woman and why we cannot be liberated until she is. So what does it truly mean to be Black To be Woman To be a Worker and to be all three.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This work offers a multimethodology modeling platform (DSS), for prospective analysis of urban densification patterns, based upon redefining demand as a dynamic variable in time and space instead of as an input. For the case study of Medellín Metropolitan Area (Colombia), innovative modeling approaches were implemented to analyze dynamics derived from public intervention and project implementation in transportation, industry, housing, land use, residential and firm's mobility, among others. This DSS actively contributed to consensus achievement between conflicted parties by compelling to exchange, discuss and confront their positions on the building impacts of Urban Futures. Through this research, I had the unique opportunity to meaningfully and productively engage with Medellín's transformation, and to experience how academic contribution offered insights to tackle the roots of urban inequality instead of its symptoms.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -From the 2nd century BC, the view emerged in China that the intent of the author is crucial to a poem's composition and understanding. Writing was seen as the manifestation of the author's inner spiritual nature and identity. Thus all writing was to some extent autobiographical; writing about oneself had to be indirect, rather than overt or blatant. There were a number of obstacles to the development of autobiography as a genre in China. A high value was placed on humility, and writers hesitated to focus on themselves, only rarely writing in the first person. They used different names for themselves, and unlikely literary forms, such as prefaces to works, or biographies of other people, or speaking through fictional characters. There was also resistance to autobiography, because it was thought that a life or career could only be assessed when it was over. There was still a substantial amount of autobiographical writing in ancient and Medieval China. This book focuses primarily on the Tang and Song periods, and on the development of the literary form of the self-written epitaph; the earlier development of the genre and its later influence are also discussed. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Prof. Dr. Hayriyem Zeynep ALTAN in her research, doesn't evaluate 'Troubling Love' only as an object of her scientific study but also prefers to look Elena Ferrante's story from inside by taking along the shadow of her own anxiety of being. While she is talking over the 'mother-daughter relationship' which is the focus of the story, she confesses that she has been watching her own relationship with her mother from inside and from past. Although she is concerned about this connection which is formed between 'The Troubling Love' and her unconscious; she emphasizes that it's the strong energy born with this interaction which created this study. 'Have you ever tried to look and see your mother free from her motherhood role, as a woman who has her own authenticity ' Altan deals with this question and while she is seeking for the answer; she makes 'Troubling Love' to begin an 'intertextual' journey: From Marguerite Yourcenar's book named as 'The Labyrinth of Earth' to the Spanish film of Iciar Bollain 'Take My Eyes' and to the myth of Aiskhylos which draws a charming picture of human conflict in Ancient Greece. This well-heeled study includes psychoanalysis, semiotics and feminism. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Although more than three centuries have passed since Newton's introduced his law of universal gravitation there is no exact value for the gravitational constant G In this book, we will introduce about a theoretical law, the first of its kind in physics, in which it is possible to find an exact value for the gravitational constant using simple way, a thing never happened before. The importance of this law lies in the fact that it links three different physical sciences with each other - mechanics, electromagnetism and thermodynamics in primitive form, which is the characteristic of this law, and it also tells us that the general gravity constant is not necessarily have to be a fixed value all time, which contributes to explain why the increase in the rotation velocities of galaxies, without assuming the existence of dark matter This book is simple and easy to understand for general readers, whether they are experienced physicists or those who are not specialists in physics, and important to the universities and center research sciences as NASA 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -World economies should thrive because governments build universities as the primary movers for development. Yet we see a lot of economies stagnating because the universities become ivory towers of intellectual elites. The tale of the two cities in the midsection of the Philippines are living manifestations of the legacy of a higher education institution going beyond and out of the four walls of the university to be relevant in helping the local government units perform their functions in innovating and building communities for national development. The academic partnership with the private sector (industry) and the government proves to be a powerful triumvirate which results to a cross subsidization and sharing of resources, synergy via concentrated collaboration to a unified goal among partners/collaborators and the systemic fusion and coexistence resulting to heightened relevance of each in the development process. This book is intended for local government unit executives and university administrators to become more purposeful in catalyzing change and innovation to make the lives of the people they serve better in communities. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book, an Active Shed Unbalancing System was described and constructed on a narrow fabric loom using a computer controlled hydraulic actuator. It was first used as a passive shed unbalancer which confirmed previous findings that weaving resistance (W.R.) or Beat-up Force (B.U.F) could be substantially reduced and then as an active system that, when properly timed, gave a further 20% reduction. The advantage of the active system is that it eases beating - in of weft and also helps to minimize pick slipping back during the remaining part of the loom cycle. Also, with the active system it might be possible to weave a tighter fabric than previously possible and also have potential of improving the aesthetic qualities or cover of the woven fabric. Sometimes, fabrics of high sett, i.e. above or close to construction limits are necessary to meet certain end - use requirements, e.g. water proof, industrial filters, canvas, tarpaulin, etc. Thus, the book gives an account of the experiments and the literature survey of the patented and potential unbalancing systems for commercial looms. 80 pp. Englisch.

Thus, it has an important place in human nutrition and can be used as fresh, dried or processed fruit. In addition, fresh fruits have better taste and higher nutritional value. Hence, there is always high demand for fresh fruits in the market. However, fresh apricot fruits continue all metabolic processes and are susceptible to quality deterioration due to increase in enzymatic activities, transpiration and respiration lead to a shorter shelf life. Therefore, it is necessary to find out new strategies to minimize postharvest losses, improve the overall quality attributes and also extend the postharvest life of fresh apricot fruits. 52 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Recently, media and public discourses have referred to refugees as if they were burdens on thehost communities, and world leaders have talked about 'burden-sharing' of refugees among international community. Yet, are refugees really burdens on the host communities More than 100,000 Bhutanese refugees, who escaped from Bhutan and stayed in refugee camps in eastern Nepal for almost 20 years, has resettled to the third countries such as the US, Canada and Australia. The UNHCR and IOM, two leading international refugee agencies, have announced that the case of Bhutanese refugees is the world's most successful resettlement program. Why have these countries received Bhutanese refugees, if it were true that 'refugees are burdens' This books challenges the myth that refugees are burden based on the results of field researches conducted in refugee camps in Nepal and in South Australia, and argue the potentials of refugees to become assets for host country and community with the case of Bhutanese refugees in South Australia. 76 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Water governance in the Jordan Valley that involves the water users to participate in the water management hand-by-hand with the Jordan Valley Authority became a necessity to cope with the scarce water resources, and to assure sustainability of the irrigation projects. This participation concept was introduced in stages to be accepted by the farmers in accordance with the different agro-climatic zones in the Jordan Valley. It started by forming water user groups to participate in the water distribution activities at the tertiary level on voluntary basis, then developed to water committees with participation from farmers, Jordan Valley Authority Staff, and the government representative in the water committee area. Building on the achieved successes, water user associations were developed and officially registered under the cooperative law in Jordan. Many of the successful water user associations signed task transfer agreements with the Jordan Valley Authority to take over the responsibility of the irrigation water management of the irrigation networks at their areas. 72 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book we study the relationship between the topological properties and the algebraic properties by the spectrum of d-filter in the multiple valuable logic d-algebra. The d-algebra is a useful generalization of BCK-algebra which have many applications in the computer since and image processing. On the other hand, we define the concepts of a fuzzy semi d-ideal and a fuzzy d-filter of a d-algebra, combining these new notions with other kinds of fuzzy ideals of d-algebra . Finally, we study the fuzzy semi d-ideal spectrum and fuzzy d-filter spectrum and there topological properties. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Based on the analysis of successive space-time transformation with direction changed, we prove the Galilean transformation can be derived by two postulates, the principle of relativity, and the homogeneous and isotropic of time and space that meets the Euclidean geometry. As the two postulates are also believed to be satisfied by the special relativity, we further demonstrate the successive Lorentz boost with direction changed will lead to paradox. It is discussed the Wigner rotation should not be regarded as the relativistic effect for the composition of two Lorentz boosts, but it will give contradictory events against the Euclidean geometry. We believe seeking new space-time model for the special relativity would be the most feasible approach, and a hypothesis of 3+3 space-time model is proposed to solve the paradox. We also extend the Maxwell equations to the 3+3 space-time and obtain the new electromagnetic field quantities and the corresponding covariant electromagnetic field equations. It is discussed the 3+3 space-time can be approximated to the 3+1 space-time and the new field equations based on the 3+3 space-time can also be approximated to the Maxwell equations. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work aims to assess the Initial Investment Valuation Methodology of the local regulator, facing the results of auctions, due to the high occurrence of low clearing prices observed from 2003 to 2008 and the high percentage of auctions without any bidder recently. The regulator investment forecast defines the maximum value of Yearly Allowed Revenue and the bidder that offers the lowest YAR value wins the auction. The first type of analysis considers project cost, location, execution deadline, transmission line extension and type of all actions from 1999 to 2015, totaling about 3.36 billion USD. It was not found any correlation between those variables and the result of the actions. The second analysis compared the equipment and the additional costs breakdown of the regulator investment forecast with the real investment in projects from 2009 to 2013 and it rarely surpasses 5%. Suggestions are proposed based on the analysis. 60 pp. Englisch.
