This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The bullwhip effect is the phenomenon of increasing demand variability in the supply chain as one moves from the downstream (the retailer) to the upstream (manufacturer) that will cause the higher cost impact on each of the supply…chain pipeline from supplier to distributor and lead to the higher price of the pharmaceutical products. Having the analysis from the four cause of Bullwhip effect will help to reduce the bullwhip effect on the pharmaceutical supply chain. There is a possibility to reduce the bullwhip effect by using modern ERP systems which implement Material Requirement Planning system in the production of finished goods. However, the bullwhip effect still occurred that came from demand and forecast updating as well as rationing and shortage gaming by the distributor. Additionally the higher forecast deviation will cause the higher cost impact in the production of finished goods. 104 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This research aims to shed light into the influence of trademarks on the due diligence process of VC funds. Finding the most-promising and eventually outpacing start-ups is at the core of a venture capitalist's activities. VCs seek… herefor signals that ease the process. Previous research shows that intellectual property plays a significant role in a VC's decision-making. Due to the growing importance of trademarks, on the one hand, to protect incurred expenses, and on the other hand, as a reflection of the company's existing marketing know-how trademarks might have an influence on the amount invested in start-ups. The analysis at hand examines whether factors such as the presence of trademarks as well as the number of unique classes a trademark is registered in have an influence on the invested amount. Another layer that is added to the analysis are interaction effects, namely do different types of investors value the presence of trademarks differently and does the industry of a start-up play a role in the valuation of trademarks. 92 pp. Englisch.

Bi-ethnic Arab and American participants completed a questionnaire about demograp…hics and underwent an in- depth interview that explored their experiences as a bi-ethnic person and the dynamics within their families. Participants reported a variety of experiences, though certain themes were extrapolated from their responses. Participants either identified more strongly with their Western mother or their Middle Eastern father. Feelings of marginalization were identified as part of the bi-cultural Arab and American experience as well as some identity confusion. Participants also reported that they felt unable to disclose as much information about their life to their Middle Eastern fathers as they did their American mothers. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Gross domestic product (GDP) comes under the heading of National Accounts, Which is a subject in macroeconomics. This study aims at to find appropriate VAR (Vector Autoregressive) model for the variables agriculture, industry and s…ervices in multivariate time series, to check out the causality among the variables agriculture, industry, and service. In addition to data description and forecasting, here the VAR model is also used for structural inference and policy analysis. But before these we must verify the validation of the model in different time period, because a forecasting model may lose its validity and suitability as time progresses.The basic aim of this study was to check out the causality or inter dependency between the variables agriculture, industry and services on GDP of Bangladesh. Also to forecast the increasing GDP using VAR model. From the above study and estimation, VAR is an appropriate model for the GDP of Bangladesh. The author also found various measures of forecasting accuracy for the model. Author have found strong evidence of inter dependency or causality among the three underlying variable. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This project starts from two emerging trends in multinational enterprise management which have received a lot of attention in literature: the establishment of global R&D networks, and the related increased subsidiaries autonomy, an…d the explosion in alliances from the 1980s on. This work puts together these two knowledge fields in order to explore the degree of subsidiaries autonomy in strategic technology alliances. Three case studies, namely Roche, GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis, have been proposed: in all of them, R&D structure includes the presence of foreign subsidiaries in charge of R&D activities with a good level of autonomy. This leads to the fact that they are involved in the implementation of alliances, executing the activities agreed. However, as far as the possibility of developing collaborations on their own is concerned, evidence is mixed. This work is successful in providing some valuable insight to people interested in the role of subsidiaries in developing and managing strategic technology alliances. 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In light of increasing calls for corporate governance of banks and the current financial crisis rooted in failures of governance mechanisms, this paper investigates the structure of the internal control system of banks. I have used… a sample of nine leading banks operating in the Italian market to understand the most important characteristics and the mechanisms of integration concerning the internal control system. According to the empirical evidences, various mechanisms and elements of the internal control system were found to contain weaknesses. In particular, the first-level of control appears scarcely structured and lacks a clear definition of roles and responsibilities. Moreover, the mechanisms of organizational and operating integration were developed in only a few cases. Therefore, the Italian banks must promptly focus their attention on strengthening these two areas through tailored actions to ensure the safe and sound management of corporate risks. This paper also suggests to banking industry professionals a framework and some recommendations for the implementation of an effective and integrated internal control system in banks. 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Women empowerment has been discussed by different scholars but there are still gaps in literature. This piece of work presents an assessment of factors hindering economic empowerment of female clients who have managed to graduate t…o the higher levels of loan. It reveals that in some aspects, credit has been effective in empowering women economically and socially, but on the other hand factors such as low confidence, social cultural roles, low level of education, high interest rates and limited access to Information Communication Technology (ICT) are hindering effectiveness of micro-credit in empowering women economically. Therefore continuous education is still needed for different stakeholders to understand the importance of women empowerment to the country's economy. Micro Finance Institutions therefore should integrate with policy making bodies to support women in legal rights so that social and political empowerment can be increased and ultimately reduce gender imbalances in various aspects like access to assets. 108 pp. Englisch.

It examines the effectiveness of a training program offered to 108 trainees of a leading private sector bank .The data was extracted from the employees through a questionnaire based on Kirkpatrick s model of training evaluation. A chi-square test revealed that the demographic variables are independent of the efficacy gap. A paired sample t- test was conducted and it has been concluded that the trainees did not find the program effective. The factor analysis indicates that the grouping of the variables into factors fairly matches with the Kirkpatrick s model of training evaluation with certain exceptions. Finally, a multiple regression analysis was conducted which revealed that the factors extracted in factor analysis are significant in explaining training effectiveness. 108 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, like many other developing countries face difficulties in raising tax revenue for public purposes. This study uses panel data for fourteen SADC countries during 1994-2005 to…analyse empirically the determinants of tax buoyancy in developing nations. Among the variables identified as affecting annual tax buoyancy is monetization, with empirical results confirming its importance. The results have shown that the way monetization is handled in the developing nations affects annual tax buoyancy negatively. Other variables that have been found to be affecting tax buoyancy in developing nations include the growth in the agricultural and industrial sector contribution to national income, external aid growth, growth of fiscal deficit and growth of total expenditure. The determinants of tax buoyancy have been suggested following the tax handle theory advice. The study yielded such results because quality dimension of tax performance have been considered, which has been neglected by many previous authors . 100 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Shifting Uncerstandings of Performance Practice in an African Context By critically analysing three pieces of devised performance, Even as I Walk (2008), They Were Silent (2009) and The Wages of Sin (2009), I argue that the concept… of performance is not easily defined. Rather, it is an ever-changing phenomenon, which can become a useful platform for dialoguing about deeply personal and necessarily public and political subject matter. I locate myself and the theatre makers I worked with to create the three pieces, in the work by reflecting on and writing about the processes using auto-ethnography as a lens. The context within which I write, and within which my collaborators and I work, is that of our locations in very specific African, moral, cultural, political and creative impulses which we interrogate through the creative processes. Through the writing and reflecting, I arrive at various conclusions, including what I call the methodology of not knowing, the importance of the group in facilitating the research and creative process, the necessity of redefining or renegotiation for the purposes of both the research and the creative goals our understandings of what performance is. 92 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work intends to analyse the style of British newspaper reporting; at the same time it will also delimit some of the terms used in newspaper reporting. I have chosen this topic because newspaper language is an issue that we fac…e in our everyday life, it is a linguistic feature of our daily reality that we should know more about. As for me, I like reading newspapers and watching TV news and comparing how the same news are presented in different newspapers or TV channels. I also read news articles with a view to their graphic layout and language. The reason why I have chosen the three newspapers (The Times, The Independent, The Mirror) was a matter of contrast and availability. In my choice of the newspapers there is an interesting contrast between the serious(The Times, The Independent) and the tabloid (The Mirror) form of the newspaper than can demonstrate the distinctions between their style of writing, choice of news, the language, the graphical form etc. 116 pp. Englisch.

Consequently, there has been a pest resurgence, environmental damage, pest resistance as well as lethal effe…cts on non target beneficial organisms. A shift to the more environment friendly biological control of pests is therefore prudent. This book explores and provides an insight on the potential of Entomopathogenic nematodes, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, and Steinernema karii, as a biological control agent against flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis and Megalurothrips sjostedti in French beans.The book will be found especially useful to all proponents of biological pest control and more so to researchers and other professionals in search of biological pest control. All persons interested in exploiting the potential of EPNs as a biological Agent will also find the book useful 68 pp. Englisch.

To illustrate this synergy the study presents a project proposal which aims to develop sustainable land management practices (agro-forestry and energy plantations) while promoting efficient coking stoves, with the purpose of reducing pressure on wood resources in The Gambia. The proposal focuses on capacity building through a programme that aims at reducing global greenhouse gas emissions while empowering rural communities. At the same time, the programme is designed to reduce climate vulnerability of rural families. The study focuses on the operational challenges that development projects face when implemented in order to ensure long-term sustainability.The main conclusion of the study is that development goals go beyond the benefits that carbon markets bring. Sustainable development benefits are not inherent to carbon projects and therefore should not be taken for granted. 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Drug addiction is a chronic disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking and taking despite serious negative consequences. Association studies have identified a number of candidate genes harboring variants associated with susc…eptibility to addiction, but the causative variants frequently remain unknown. A solution to the challenge of identifying causative variants is the thorough characterization of functional genetic polymorphisms and their effects on regulation of candidate genes. I focused on candidate genes for drug addiction (ARRB2, DRD2, and DRD3) and made some novel and significant findings: The effects of two intronic SNPs in the human dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) gene, previously shown to alter DRD2 alternative splicing, were confirmed in human brain autopsy tissues obtained from a population of cocaine abusers and controls. The same SNPs were significantly associated with cocaine abuse. The results of this study contribute to our understanding of the functional genetic variation in important candidate genes and have the potential to improve the prevention and treatment of drug addiction and other psychiatric disorders. 96 pp. Englisch.

The underlying forceproduction theory is explained with electrical concepts, such as c…orona discharge, electrodepolarity, Corona Inception Voltage (CIV), and air breakdown principles. These concepts areapplied to the development of the theoretical derivation of the thrust equation relating thedesign variables in an EHD Thruster. The theoretical relationships derived were used toapproximate an EHD Thruster with the optimal force-to-weight ratio.Using the guiding design principles, a successful proof-of-concept EHD lifter modelwas built and tested. Although many of the design hypotheses were theoretically-sound, an updatedset of conclusions were expressed to explain and improve the failed trials with differentthruster geometries, electrode sizes, collector shapes, and various materials.The electrostatics, chargetransport, and hydrodynamics governing equations were implemented with the software toobtain graphical representations of the electric field and velocity airflow distributions of 2-Dand 3-D thruster models. 120 pp. Englisch.

Improvements in health would translate into higher incomes, higher economic growth and accelerated declines of poverty. Without understanding the factors wh…ich play an important role in health care utilization, efforts to promote demand for health care will not offer a pragmatic solution. Increasing utilization of health services is the prime goal for many developing countries. In this study, potential biases are controlled by an advanced statistical technique. The results of this study can provide unbiased estimates of the magnitude of household health care expenditure in Bangladesh. These findings will call for policy makers to either design new health policy or strengthen existing ones taking into consideration of various factors that are identified in this study in order to improve health care system in developing countries like Bangladesh. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The fisheries resources in Lake Victoria are facing the challenges of poor management, which threaten their sustainability due to the use of destructive fishing gears such as dynamite, beach pollution, poison and small fishnets. Su…ch situation has necessitated the use of alternative management approaches like Beach Management Units (BMUs), which promote more community involvement in the fisheries resources management. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of BMUs strategy for managing the Lake Victoria fisheries resources. The emphasis was on how BMUs have managed to facilitate effective management of the lake environment. Findings from the study show that BMUs in the Lake Victoria basin have succeeded in reducing unsustainable practices and ensuring sustainable management of the fisheries resources. However, they need more moral and material support for enhanced sustainability. Target group include community members and stakeholders such as policy and decision makers, researchers, government and non-governmental institutions involved in the management of fisheries resources in the lake and aquatic environment in general. 88 pp. Englisch.
