Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -My aim in this work is to demonstrate how stem cell research and therapy may morally harm women. I argue that the harm is located in the potential exploitation of women and the products of their reproductive labour, i.e. human embryos and fetal tissue, through the commodification of women's bodily tissues and reproductive capacities. I propose that the best way to disclose the specific harms to women in the stem cell controversy is to look at the relationship between the stem cell debate and the abortion debate. I argue that there is one tempting way to maintain the parallels which does not foster the proper moral consideration of women in either the abortion debate or the stem cell debate. However, I maintain that if we understand the abortion debate from a feminist perspective, we will be able to see the appropriate relationship between the abortion and stem cell debates.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Determination of risk capital is a subject of active interest to researchers, regulators of financial institutes and commercial vendors of financial products and services. Recently, there has been growing concentration among the insurance companies and regulators on the use of tail conditional expectation (TCE) as measure of risk. TCE represents the conditional average amount of loss that can be incurred in a particular period, given that the loss exceeds a specified value. This value is usually based on a quantile of the distribution, the so-called value-at-risk (VaR). The present study examines the TCE in the case of multivariate Pareto distribution. We show that the divided differences, actually important in the numerical analysis and polynomial s approximations, are quite convenient tool on the capital asset allocation problem in the multivariate dependent Pareto context. 88 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -HIV/AIDS have become major public health problems in most of the resource limited countries. There is growing body of evidence that VCT has been effective for the primary prevention of HIV as well as for treatment, care and support programme. Despite the very high number of estimated people living with HIV/AIDS in resource limited countries, VCT uptake is still a challenge.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book talks about recruitment process and instruments and provides readers of this paper with sufficient information about the subject matter and how recruitment has been differently used in different countries. Based upon the survey conducted I can conclude that the hypothesis that says: 'Recruitment methods and instruments employed by the recruiters in the US and Western Europe are not in widespread use in Croatia, which makes it more difficult to match the right person to the right job' is true, although its validity and credibility is 100% reliable, for there are some contaminating factors, such as impossibility to survey more companies. The book uses very useful information were experts opinions gained from experts in the US, UK, Germany and Croatia prove that for business to succeed and for it to stay in the top takes much more than just a good product/service and appealing marketing promotion. Human potentials play a huge role in one company s success, therefore, more attention to the recruitment and recruitment instruments in hiring process is strongly recommended. 100 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The research outlined in this book is concerned with understanding how organizational performance can be improved through effective knowledge transfer. In particular, the author is interested in organizational performance as it relates to those organizations that rely on core horizontal business processes, such as those found within a supply chain. Many organizations develop knowledge strategies to try and utilise existing knowledge within their organizations. However, this process tends to be developed from a top-down perspective, and deployed on an organization-wide basis. It is the researcher s contention that this is not a suitable approach for developing an effective knowledge strategy for supply chain / complex organizations. It is the contention of the author that in order to develop and define a suitable method for knowledge strategy development and implementation, how knowledge and information are created and shared along core business processes must first be understood. To do this it is important to identify the barriers that impact knowledge transfer across an organization, and more specifically, along core business processes. 292 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Chinese market is rapidly increasing and yet its full potential is, by far, not reached. Foreign companies are competing for the opportunity to be a part of the development of China and Swedish companies are no exception. Sweden is a country that, to a large extent, is dependent on international trade and due to this fact China is a very important emerging market. We believe that its size and potential will attract more and more Swedish companies in the coming years. A crucial success factor when doing business internationally is the art of negotiation. According to Graham and Lam (2003) negotiating business deals in China will be one of the most daunting and interesting challenges facing Western executives during the next few decades. 112 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The steady growth of digital information as a component of library and archives collections has significant implications for these institutions, none more significant, perhaps, than those related to preservation. There is a tacit assumption that these institutions will preserve the information they create or that is entrusted to their care. Digital technology, however, is fragile and evanescent. From a preservation perspective, it is fraught with complex technical issues for which no solutions have yet been found. The crux of the problem is that given the amount of information that already exists in digital form and the brevity of its projected lifespan, institutions cannot afford to wait for optimal solutions. Most are, therefore, having to cope with the situation using less than desirable strategies that is, if they are addressing digital preservation issues at all. The result, either way, is that much of the information of our time is in danger of becoming irretrievable. This book examines in detail the challenges posed by digital technology in regards to preservation, and critically discusses the strategies or solutions that have been suggested for dealing with them. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The topic of this work is the EU's policy on irregular immigration and the external approach that characterises it. This policy is questioned, as the approach and measures that have been adopted are shown to be both ineffective in actually preventing irregular migrants from entering Europe and detrimental to the safety and human rights of irregular migrants and asylum-seekers. In examining the EU's policy, and the factors that have shaped and formed the adopted policy, the vertical and horizontal venue-shopping theory is tested. This theoretical account argues that the underlying factors can best be understood by examining the preferences of the key policy-makers and the specific policy-venues that are provided in the EU. In order to test this account analyses are made regarding the differences between the EU's policy and national approaches, the preferences of different actors involved in the policy-making process, and the policy-making character of measures relating to EU-cooperation with third countries. The analyses corroborate the theoretical account regarding the EU's policy on irregular immigration and the external approach that characterises it. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Published literature about Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) tends to focus on the Environment Effects Statement (EES) approvals process, often overlooking post-approvals processes that are frequently established after the EES has been sanctioned.
